BabyCubby review

Baby Cubby let me choose a couple things to review. I chose this Little unicorn cotton quilt with watercolor rosebuds and made of layered breathable muslin. It is 47"x47" squared. Its a great size, so its not just for kids.

This has now been put on the back of the couch as our go to blanket for snuggling! There are so many cute patterns that its hard to choose just one.

As it is washed (machine washable) it keeps getting even softer. One thing I love about this is the contrasting backing in a pretty solid. I normally don't like floral patterns but this is so pretty and I loved the soft print.

I also chose two Meri Meri necklaces that are a mermaid and seahorse.

The mermaid appears to be about 18" long with a gold chain. It has been very sturdy and little crazy life loves it.

The seahorse appears to be the same length but has a super sweet tassle on the back and a variety of sea items tied to the cord on the bottom half, and a gold chain on the top half. This is a very cute necklace and was a favorite on our recent vacation.

BabyCubby has great customer service! They have baby essentials, feeding, nursery, clothing and sale items.  For easy navigation they also have trend alerts of your favorite brands, playtime and baby wearing links!

Love Goodly subscription box review

Love goodly is a curated box of vegan, eco friendly and natural products. Check out the unboxing video here.

This runs $29.95 every other month so it makes it very affordable subscription box if you don't want to spend $40 to $100 per month. The box will contain 4-5 items in each box.

LoveGoodly also included a Fredandfar trillion pin, retails for $12. This pin is to remind you to love yourself and do things for yourself. Its .75”. Melody Godfed came up with this site as a way to promote self love and self care. As moms, we always put ourselves last, am I right?  Baths, meals, snacks, sports practice, concerts, homework, school, house cleaning, bill paying, lunches and so much more. When do we have time for ourselves?!

Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick was included as well. It is supposed to last all day. I put it on multiple days when I got dressed in the morning, and then checked thoughout the day. For me personally it lasts through dinner time. Its a gorgeous color. I put some on my hand and then let it wear off throughout the day. I even used a baby wipe, and there was faded color throughout the day. It definitely doesn't stay as heavy as when you put it on, but for me that's fine. I don't necessarily like the harsh line it creates when I put it on so I soften it with powder after it sets.

 They come in two sizes xs/s fits a wrist of 6.25” -7”. MD/LG fits a wrist size of above  7”. I do love that the hair band is not just a single band of elastic, but its actually doubled up with the way its tied onto the decorative front.

Gem Tye This appears to make them stronger and they don’t pull nearly as much as a single hair elastic. Free shipping over $25, however they are found at stores in California.

Faby polish is vegan, Cruelty-Free, Big-5 Free (no DBP, Toluene, Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde Resin, or Camphor), no TPHP, no Paraben, no Xylene nail system is designed to provide you with long-lasting, high-shine results. This color is "Save the drive in" which is a beautiful shimmery blue.

Kameleon Rose Travel Dress Review

Kameleon Rose has the ultimate travel dress. Its so versatile, soft, and amazing.

I travel for work a fair amount and packing is always a struggle. I have started packing one pair of shoes and base my outfits on those shoes. I choose to do no jewelry and basic makeup. It seems like every trip I end up wearing the same maxi dresses.  I am usually traveling one full day, then one day in the office. The third day I am in the office until noon, and then fly across country to get home really late. So I need 2 travel outfits, and 2 work appropriate outfits. Here is my typical clothes list.

-1 maxi dress

-1 skirt

-1 blouse

-1 sweater (goes with both dress/skirt)

-1 pair of sandals (goes with jeans/skirt/maxi dress)

- I wear easily washable/dryable clothes that I can wash out upon arrival to the hotel for the trip back home.

When I get to the airport I throw on the outfit I flew in with. Easy peasy. However I would love to mix it up a little. Then I found the ultimate travel dress. This one item can morph into multiple items. Yes, you read that right. It’s a strapless dress, short or long skirt, top,  poncho, and more. Kameleon Rose says it can be 20 different items and worn in just as many ways!

Since receiving and testing out this Kameleon Rose dress, I am completely in love with it.

The fabric on the kameleon dress is SUPER soft and has buttons to change it around to change the style. I didn’t notice snagging or the ability to see through it. I still wore a slip under it as I wasn’t sure if it stick to my legs like many other skirts do as I walk. It is made from non creasing, quick dry fabric which is perfect for traveling. It also has a secret pocket!

The front of the Kameleon dress has the button holes, and the back has the buttons.

The detail is amazing. These are the buttons on the back of the dress. STUNNING!

If you look close you can see the button holes in the front.

Here is the care tag. SUPER easy to take care of this dress!

This Kameleon dress costs $80 but if you look at its versatility, its quite worth it. The creator, Leila, is a former doctor who created this orginal design. The dresses are made in Madagascar with ethical conditions for her staff. With her profits shes created a social project to take care of local children. Most of these children are orphans who have never left their villages. Leila is involved in every aspect of the business. There is no middle man.

I truly believe that our money as consumers drive the quality and the market in what is being provided. Kameleon Rose is far more than a clothing company. It is ethical, made for travelers BY travelers, and sponsors local children. With your purchase you are also helping children as well as locals earning an income. How can you say no to that?
