New Fragrances for Men and Women from Mia Mariu

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I’m someone who loves to wear some type of fragrance every day.  I like to have a variety of perfumes on hand depending on my mood and to complete my look.  Even with having several fragrances on hand at any given time, I’m choosy about which ones I wear. I like light scents.  I tend to gravitate toward fresh/clean, citrus, or light floral scents.  I’m personally not a fan of anything to heavy or spicy for myself.

After reading the descriptions of the new fragrances available from Mia Mariu I was willing to give it a try.  The hardest part for me was to choose if I wanted to review the women’s for myself or get one of the men’s fragrances for my hubby. (I love it when he wears fragrances too).

I decided to try the women’s fragrance called mm magia.  It came in a 1.7 fl oz glass bottle.  It has your typical spritz pump to dispense the perfume.  This is a gorgeous scent.  The description provided by Mia Mariu reads:

“enchanting, flirty, sensual…deliciously unforgettable” 

This deliciously flirtatious fragrance invigorates the senses, creates a mood and sets the scene for unforgettable fun, romance and pleasure. With a medley of juicy strawberry, mandarin, peach and pear that play sweetly atop dewy blooms of jasmine, plum, magnolia and flirty frangipani; makes the perfect playmate and ideal soul mate for smooth and sensual base notes of rich vanilla, musk, tonka bean and warm and enchanting golden amber.

Of course I’m no perfume expert.  When I smell it I definitely pick up the jasmine, peach, a hint of strawberry, and I can definitely pick up the citrus notes.  There is just a touch of warm that blends it together smoothly.  This fragrance wears well on me, or at least I think so.  It’s noticeable but not overpowering.  I’ve worn the fragrance on a few different days.  It seems to last about 3-4 hours at a time.

The other 2 new fragrances available are men’s fragrances. And the desciptions provided by Mia Mariu read:

mm caoba EDT 1.7 oz for Men
“sophisticated, passionate, romantic….real sexy confidence”

This rugged, refreshing, strong and sensual fragrance has top notes of citron tonic, violet leaf, dew grass; middle notes are red saffron, crushed nutmeg and fresh vetiver; base notes are creamy sandalwood, vanilla absolute and vintage suede. Caoba’s modern smooth scent creates mystery and sexy confidence.

AND

mm acqua EDT 1.7 oz for Men
“rebellious, irresistible, seductive…pure masculinity” 

This clean, cool and refreshing fragrance offers a sophisticated scent with its unique blend of exotic ingredients. Acqua leaves skin aromatically scented with top notes of sliced ginger, star ruby grapefruit and white pepper, middle notes of warm nutmeg, Egyptian jasmine and skin musk while balancing perfectly with bottom notes of Texas white cedar, Haitian vetiver and Bois de Encens. Acqua embodies the essence of masculinity.

For me, I think I’d like to have my husband try the mm caoba scent.  It sounds like something we’d both like.  My husband wears fragrance often too.  I’m so glad because I definitely love some of the men’s cologne’s available.

Baby Butz Cream Get Rid of Diaper Rash, Naturally

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

My daughter is now 9 months old.  After having 4 kids I’ve kind of learned which diaper rash creams seem to work for my kids and which ones don’t .  I’m always willing to try new products if they seem safe for my kids.  When I had the chance to try Baby Butz Cream I thought why not?  After all, it’s 100% natural and award winning.

Baby Butz cream is a thick paste which I really like.  I never understood how a thin lotion or cream would protect my little ones’ skin.  Most of the time it didn’t. When I purchase diaper rash cream on my own I always went with a thick paste that stayed put in the diaper.  I had put it on my daughter in the morning with the rash she had and by night time, I cleaned off her bum and the rash had faded significantly

I love the fact that that it really works and it 100% natural and safe.  It also has a 100% guarantee.  It’s dye free and fragrance free so it’s gentle on baby’s sensitive skin.  Baby Butz has received many awards and honors.  Just visit their website to see for yourself: http://www.babybutz.com/

You can buy Baby Butz online or click the “where to buy” section of their website to see where you can pick it up in store.  At a price of only $7.99 I will definitely buy this again in the future.  You don’t  need a lot at one time and the quickness in which this works make it worth the buy in my book.  The fact that this is a mom invented product, is even better.  You definitely need to read their “our story” section.

Money Saving Tool: Spatty Daddy

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
What do you do when you get to the point that there is just a little dressing left in the salad dressing bottle, or you got most of the spaghetti sauce out of the jar.  I know I’ll usually put the lid on and turn it upside down for a while and try to get that last bit out. There’s usually a whole serving or two left in the bottle/jar but trying to scoop it out is impossible.

Did you also know that Consumer Report says that we end up throwing away 25% of the product when we discard the bottle/jar before it’s completely empty.  Spatty Daddy can fix that and help save you money.

Spatty Daddy and the similar cosmetics tool was featured on ABC’s Shark Tank.  Spatty Daddy comes in 2 different sizes: 12 inch and 6 inch and is also available in combination packs.  I received the 12 inch Spatty Daddy to try out.  It’s long tiny shape makes it easy to scoop the contents from baby food jars, soup cans, spaghetti sauce jars, and lots more.

The first time I used it, I was making a recipe with some cream of chicken soup.  I’m always annoyed by the condensed soup that sticks to the inside of the can. I have a small spatula but it not near as narrow as the Spatty Daddy so it doesn’t always work or give me the leverage I need to get the last little bit out.  Spatty Daddy worked great for getting the rest of the cream of chicken soup out of the can.

Another pet peeve of mine is what’s left in the baby food jars.  Especially when you get to the tall skinny number 3 food jars.  My daughter is on the #2 foods right now but there’s usually at least one spoonfull stuck to the side of the jar.  Baby food can be expensive and my daughter can eat like no one’s business some times. Spatty Daddy helped me to be able to use every bit of the baby food in her jars.  Spatty Daddy is FDA approved, BPA free, and made in the USA.

I also happen to own the Extend Your Beauty: Cosmetics tool already and love that too.  Great for getting the last few days of applications out of the foundation bottle or  the last bit of lotion out of the bottle. After only a few uses of these two versions they pay for themselves.
