Protect the skin you’re in with UVSkinz giveaway – CLOSED

August 11, 2010 by Melissa

Summer is in full swing and we are at the pool constantly. I feel good this year that my kids are protected with sun protection swimwear. UVSkinz is one of our favorites; with swimwear, hats and clothing with a UPF rating of 50+ which blocks out over 98% of the sun’s harmful rays. It’s loose fit allows for ease of movement and the lightweight material is quick-drying and won’t fade with regular use.

According to SkinCancer.org, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 3.5 million cases in two million people are diagnosed annually. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime. My mother developed a basal cell carcinoma a few years ago and while it was removed successfully it was still a scare. These days she is so much more careful in the sun, mostly trying to stay out of it actually.

I try to also be very careful in the sun with sunscreen and hats but my focus is the kids. I slather sunscreen on their faces, make them wear hats and outfit them in sun protection swimwear. Shae has been sporting her Pink Argyle long sleeve swimshirt all summer, especially when we hit the pool in the middle of the day. Its lightweight material is cool in the warm weather but has been protecting her arms, body and neck perfectly.

UVSkinz’s foundation is built around the memory of Darren Lee Farwell, husband of owner Rhonda. Darren was taken away way too soon after a long battle with malignant melanoma. His life was active and full and focused on friends, family and fun. In the end all that fun in the sun caused him the worst harm. Rhonda took that pain and turned it into education and research for UVSkinz. The Darren Lee Farwell Foundation was created to raise awareness of not just the causes of skin cancer but the prevention and cure rate if caught early. While UVSkinz is still a young company it’s heart and soul is strong and determined to keeps all kids safe.

Win your own children’s product by visiting UVSkinz and letting us know which item you would like.

Shop with $100 at ATGStores.com Giveaway – CLOSED

August 2, 2010 by Melissa

Summer is in full swing and Rob, the kids and I are taking full advantage. We swim at the pool, we play at the park, we plant in the garden and we hang on the deck. Our deck gets FULL sun till mid afternoon so we knew we needed a nice big umbrella. ATG gave us the Decorative Vented Market Umbrella and it’s a perfect fit for our deck and personal style.

I was worried about the crank style operation; I thought it wouldn’t feel sturdy enough. I was wrong; the mechanics feel strong and I don’t feel like I’m going to break off the handle when I’m opening the umbrella. The umbrella itself is large; large enough to completely cover 2-4 people depending on the sun’s movement. I’ve been filling an inflatable pool in the deck and the umbrella allows the kids to play without the sun beating down on their little heads the whole time. We use the umbrella freestanding as we don’t have traditional dining style table and chairs. The umbrella is in a stand and it gets moved around the deck to cover the pool, group of chairs or whatever needs shielding from the sun. It also tilts as you can see from the picture above, love this feature.

ATG Stores is so much more about umbrellas. With over 400 online stores and FREE SHIPPING you can furnish any and every room in your house with just a few clicks to site like HomeFurnitureShowroom.com, NewBabySupply.com and CookingandTableware.com just to name a few.

Visit ATGStores.comand find that perfect something to win here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Find 1 product with a maximum value of $100 and leave the link to your choice in your comment.

Iced Coffee with Seattle’s Best Toddy-CLOSED

July 22, 2010 by Melissa

A hot steamy, slightly sweet cup of coffee; this is what I reach for each morning. Rob on the other hand prefers a huge, icy cold coffee instead. Seattle’s Best Coffee Toddy home brewing system now let’s Rob make his own iced coffee at home instead of paying more than $3 a piece at the coffee shops.

Iced Coffee seems like a simple thing; just add ice to hot coffee and go. This isn’t the case. For a good iced coffee the coffee itself needs to be stronger and with great flavor. Seattle’s Best Coffee Toddy Home Brewing System explains that cold brewing is best.

The Seattle’s Best Coffee cold brewed coffee concentrate, a concentrate coffee extract produced by using a special cold brewing process, is the key ingredient in Seattle’s Best Coffee’s summer lineup. The cold brewing process extracts the flavors of coffee and leaves behind undesirable acids and oils, resulting in a bold, slightly sweet, smooth-tasting coffee with more than 50 percent less acidity than conventional brewing methods

The process while not complicated is long; overnight to be exact. In a nutshell you are soaking the coffee (or tea) in cool water for HOURS to establish a more intense flavor that can then be mixed with water or cream or even ice cream. Get yours today; there is still plenty of summer left. Here is your chance to win one from LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Visit Seattle’s Best Toddy store and tell me what else you would need to complete the iced coffee (or tea) experience.

Mother’s Jewelry with a Twist from Gemvara Evulation

July 19, 2010 by Melissa

My sister and sister-in-law became first time moms last year (11 days apart) so when Gemvara approached me about reviewing a custom Letter Pendant I knew it would be a perfect gift for my sister. You see I’ve been a mom for many years, I received my fair share of mother’s rings, gemstone pendants, macaroni necklaces and more. I thought the Letter Pendant would be a timeless but unique piece of mother’s jewelry for my sister.

My sister and BIL are done having kids, Madi is their first and will be their last so I knew getting an “M” initial would be something cherished forever. This necklace and pendant gift serves a dual purpose for Kim actually; obviously the “M” stands for Madi but it also stands for Matt, her husband who baby Madison is named after.

I got to choose from 16 gemstones, 8 metals and 4 chain styles. This made for endless combinations, perfect for any situation, personal style and budget. For my sister I choose a silver pendant and chain with a “diamond” accent (her birthstone). I opened the gift box and was greeted by a beautifully bright and lovely piece, I knew my sister was going to love it. The necklace and pendant came beautifully wrapped a couple weeks after deciding on the design. This is because is pendant is custom made to the buyers request.

Designer Ji Hwang designs jewelry with a fluid graceful line, like strokes of a painter’s brush. Her pieces are often inspired by the natural world, abstracted into modern sculpture. Her work reveals nature’s subtle aesthetic, capturing the beauty of its form, the simplicity of its design, and the vitality of its colors without embellishment. She often finds that by simplifying, she often can best reflect the essence of nature. A classically trained jewelry artist educated at Parsons School of Design and Pratt Institute in New York City, Ji’s work is instantly recognizable to jewelry connoisseurs.

Gemvara is about more than mother’s jewelry and letter pendants. With a wealth of talented designers contributing to the online shop Gemvara offers it’s buyer the chance to customize almost everything to suit your needs and wants.

Gemvara jewelry is made to order just for you:

We hand-select high-quality conflict-free natural gems to perfectly fit your design.
A 3D model is created in wax and used to mold the setting.
We use recycled or responsibly mined precious metals to cast your jewelry.
The piece is meticulously finished and polished by hand.
Your stones are carefully set into place by a skilled craftsperson.
We quality-check every detail to make sure it meets our high standards.
Your one-of-a-kind piece is delivered in three weeks in a beautiful box.
30-day hassle-free return policy (even though our delighted customers don’t need it.)
Exceptional personal service and shopping advice: 800-436-8803.
When people ask about your beautiful jewelry, be sure to tell them you designed it yourself!

Gemvara is offering LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! readers the chance to win their own sterling silver Letter Pendant (no gemstone). Visit Gemvara and let me know what other jewelry pieces you would love to own.

Shae’s 1st Bikini from Lil’ Bettie Beachwear plus GIVEAWAY

June 21, 2010 by Melissa

Summer is here! Today is the official first day of summer. We celebrated this weekend with some fun in the hose in the yard. Shae got to sport her new Lil’ Bettie Beachwear bikini. Her Water Lily Bikini has a bright wavy striped bottom and triangle top adorned with flowers and detailed stitching. This is her first bikini ever and it’s adorable. I love the bright colors; pink, green, orange, blue and fuchsia.

Lil’ Bettie Beachwear carries bikinis, tankinis, 1-pieces, rash guards and cover-ups for girls, age’s baby to tween. All the swim suits are made with Brazilian Lycra to ensure a proper fit and extended life. Brazilian Lycra is different in that it is more tightly woven to last the entire swimming season without stretch or fade.

I was told to up-size when choosing Shae’s swimsuit. Since these swimsuits are made in Brazil they tend to run small. I’m gonna say this is true 100%. Shae has been wearing a 3 but just recently moved up to a 4 but I stuck with a size 4 for the swimsuit. I wish I had thought about it and size-up like I was told. While the swimsuit fits, Shae sports a little butt-crack when she bends down. I’m guessing sizing up won’t really help this but might just cause the bottoms to fall down exposing more than just heiny.

Lil’ Bettie Beachwear is a division of Seaside Brands, Inc. and works hard to give back to the community, specifically the Yellow Bug School. Seaside Brand’s, Inc and Yellow Bug sponsor a school for employee children at no cost, as well as for the poorest children in town so they can get a solid start in life. In the spirit in which Lil’ Bettie was created, a percentage of sales from the line will be donated to the Yellow Bug School which will go toward building an elementary school for the students that otherwise would not get an education.

WIN a Lil’ Bettie Beachwear girls swimsuit for a little girl in your life. Visit Lil’ Bettie and tell me which style you like best. (the winner will submit their size preference and Lil’ Bettie representatives will provide a swimsuit of their choice based on availability)

Read the books they want then choose a book they want from one of the 10 selected titles for FREE.

Jon Scieszka, author of Robot Zot and Knucklehead: Tall Tales and Almost True Stories of Growing up Scieszka says “If you want to inspire your boy reader, expand your definition of reading to include non-fiction, graphic novels, funny books, wordless books, audio books and magazines.

Fantasy Jewelry Box $75 GC Giveaway – CLOSED

June 4, 2010 by Melissa

I have a special place in my heart for pretty jewelry. I’m not talking just diamonds and precious gems but all types of jewelry. Fantasy Jewelry Box has that mix of fun, funky, classic and trendy jewelry at affordable prices.

I was given the opportunity to pick a couple pieces to review for myself. I picked this Oval Green Turquoise Bangle; it’s unlike anything I’ve ever worn but there was something about it that really drew me in. The size of the bracelet itself is a little bit snug but the stone and vintage details are perfect for everyday wear or dressed up with additional simpler bangles.

Earrings are always a problem with me; I love to wear them but my ears don’t like them. I’ve been wearing Jet Black CZ leverback earrings for a couple weeks with no discomfort or redness. Black stones aren’t something I would normally go for but I’ve gotten compliments on them.

Fantasy Jewelry Box has a complete selection of Red Carpet inspired, sterling silver, bridal sets and costume jewelry for all types of occasions. Dazzle your guests with wedding jewelry to coordinate with the gown but also have enough funds to adorn your bridal party with a fabulous cocktail ring or chandelier earrings. Birthdays and mother’s day just got easier with affordable heirloom style cameo brooches and designer inspired pendants. Fantasy Jewelry Box is a collection of ultra fabulous pieces to mix and match with what you already own at affordable prices.

Win a $75 GC to Fantasy Jewelry Box here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Take a peek around and tell me what piece or pieces you would love to own or gift to someone else.
