Review & Giveaway #7- Inspired by Finn *CLOSED*

I had the pleasureof reviewing an amber necklace from Inspired by Finn. I had used a amber teething necklace with Eian, and had loved it. I had no idea the other uses for it. So I picked a 13 to13 1/2 round amber necklace in Rainbow color for Alex my 5 year old. He'll be starting public 5k this fall and I wanted him wearing amber to help boost his immune system.

What is Baltic Amber

Baltic amber is not a stone, but a fossilized tree resin.

Historically, Baltic Amber has been used in Europe as a natural and traditional remedy and curative for many ailments for centuries. Long ago it was considered one of the leading ‘medicines’ of its time. Baltic Amber is the most esteemed amber in the world, and the healing qualities of Baltic Amber make it unlike any other type of amber found in the world.

When baltic amber is worn on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin.

Baltic Amber has some of the highest concentrations of Succinic Acid found in nature, and this is what makes it so special. Succinic Acid is a natural component of plant and animal tissues, and it's presence in the human body is beneficial in many ways.

How can baltic amber help us?

Pain Relief -

Baltic amber contains analgesic properties and helps take the edge off of many types of discomfort associated with dental issues, headaches, joint pain, etc.

Strengthens the body's immune system -

In many different and subtle ways, succinic acid helps boost the body's own natural healing ability and immune system.

Restoring Energy –

The human body naturally produces succinic acid. The salt of succinic acid (succinate) is one of the most active substances in the processes of cellular respiration and intercellular energy creation. Succinic acid restores oxygen and energy supply to depleted cells and helps the body return to a normal, functioning state.

Succinate is a raw material and a catalyst in the Krebs Cycle which is one of our main sources of energy. During the Krebs Cycle carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are metabolized for energy.

Maintaining Wellness -

When the human body reacts to stress, the body’s cells begin to use oxygen more quickly. Oxygen plays a central role in the intercellular creation of energy, and a lack of oxygen can result in feeling lethargic.

Oxygen is alkaline-forming in the blood and maintaining a slightly alkaline blood ph helps keep us healthy. Whenever the body functions in a state of low oxygen, it is much more susceptible to illness.

To help break a cycle of (chronic) inflammation -

Where chronic inflammation is present, disease lurks.

When the body’s cells are chronically inflamed the human body’s immune system response is to increase production of free radicals. Chronic overproduction of free radicals results in inflammatory-related disease. Chronic inflammation is a common denominator of many seemingly unrelated diseases.

While wearing a piece or two of baltic amber jewelry may not cure all that may ail you, it has been a proven benefit to many!

Inspired by Finn offers many different styles and colors of amber.

 Not only necklaces, but bracelets, anklets, earrings and much more.

They have amber for back pain and also knee pain. They also carry Hazelwood. Hazelwood is an ancient remedy first used by aboriginal people -- It has the medicinal property of neutralizing the body's acidity.

Inspired by Finn sells other products like babyleg warmers. I'll tell ya I love me some baby leg warmers.

I'm acually planning to order this pair for Will.(ssh don't tell Joel lol)

Review & Giveaway #6- SafetyTat *CLOSED*

As the mom of 3 small boys, I worry about their safety, alot! I'm out-numbered big time and usually I take them out alone. Eian has Down syndrome and doesn't talk much. He's also a runner and dang quick at it too. He can be gone in a heartbeat and if he was to get lost the is no way he could tell someone my name of number. So when I was given the chance to review SafetyTat, I jumped on it. I was sent a set of their Original SafetyTats and a set of their Quick Stick Write-On Tats. They are super cute and easy to apply.

Safetytat Is Born

The idea for SafetyTat temporary child ID tattoos was born of necessity one weekend at an amusement park. On Labor Day Weekend, Baltimore Mom, Michele Welsh and her husband, there with their three small children, felt out-numbered. To stave her panic, she quickly wrote her mobile phone number on each of their arms with a ballpoint pen. As she did this, she thoughtfully explained to each of them the importance of staying close to Mommy and Daddy. She also told them that if they were separated that the number on their arm was a way to reconnect with them.

Throughout the day of fun, Michele had to rewrite the number several times as it smeared or washed off. Several parents in the park stopped her to ask if that was her number on the kids' arms. Each time, they loved the idea.

The day was a success and the idea for SafetyTat temporary child id tattoos was born.

Original SafetyTats

Original SafetyTats are the proud Winner of the iParenting Media Greatest Products Award

Original SafetyTat Child ID Tattoos are much like traditional temporary tattoos and are applied with water and last from 1 to 5 days (we recommend applying a new Original SafetyTat each day)

The Original SafetyTat temporary safety ID tattoo with one line of customization. Choose your design, select a quantity, and add your phone number. Or you can try "TatBuilder" to design your own Original SafetyTat here.

I chose the Giraffe design for the boys and it was personalized with my cell phone number on it. But they offer many other designs to pick from.

If I had gotten these 6 months ago I would have chosen The Down syndrome/Non-verbal design.

Quick Stick Write-On

As seen on Good Morning America and featured in Parents Magazine and First for Women Magazine.

Quick Stick Write-On! SafetyTats are the proud Winner of the iParenting Media Greatest Products Award

Requires no water to apply. Quick Stick Write-on! Child ID Tattoo is a peel-n-stick skin applique.

Made with our proprietary tattoo material, Tateck®, this ultra-durable skin safe applique "tattoo" sticker is waterproof and will last an extra long time -- up to two weeks -- until you are ready to remove it. The Quick Stick Write-On! requires no water to apply. Simply peel and stick -- "Quick Stick!" Perfect for traveling with children at theme parks, school field trips, sporting events, scout trips and extracurricular events. These skin applique tattoos are shipped BLANK, so you can write your information on them with the included waterproof tattoo marking pen.

My boys tried out both today. I applied the Original on Eian as he has super sensitive skin (even band aides cause a rash) and the Quick Stick on Alex. They were easy to apply and stay on good. They did not cause any irritation on Eian at all, so that's a major plus for me.

Review & Discount- Oliver's Labels

Eian is always throwing his stuff bottles, cups, shoes, etc. With 3 small kids to keep up with sometimes we loose things. Eian prefers the playtex sippy cups and they aren't cheap. So I was looking for a great product to put his name on his cups. With Alex I wrote his name on the cup with a permanent marker but it always came off in the dishwasher. I came across Oliver's Labels and just had to contact them. They were happy to send me a sample pack to review. It included Original labels, Mini labels, Stick-eez clothing labels, & Shoe labels.

They are super cute and easy to apply. I chose Toy Animals print for him.

They have many cute prints and some alert prints.

They also have wristbands and bag tags.

How it began

"It all began with a small idea to keep Oliver, my nephew, from losing his stuff. After seeing the overwhelming positive reaction from his teachers and other parents, I realized there was a huge demand for high quality labels. I used my 6 years of experience in the printing industry to develop a label that was both durable and beautiful. The business was born and now our full-colour designs and exclusive Found-it™ tracking system are a few of the things that set Oliver's Labels apart from the competition." - Debbie

 

 

What is it?

Found-it™ is Oliver's Labels exclusive, FREE online Lost-and-Found system. We give you the option of printing a Found-it™ tracking system code on your labels. This unique code connects you to your item via your email address.

I got the Found-It put on Eian's since we are all over the place.

Oliver's Labels Has offered my readers a 10% discount. Just visit them http://www.oliverslabels.com/ and use OLIVERSFRIENDS (must be entered as is, no apostrophe, all upper case letters with no space).
