Looking for the perfect Baby Shower gift? Zubels is the answer! Zubels are 100% cotton (some organic) hand knit toys, hats and sweaters which are sure to be cherished and loved by children of all ages.

Zubels were born of a creative group working together to bring smiles to children (and to us). There was a need for an eco-friendly yet purposeful toy whose only requirement was a little love and imagination.

I received a really cute hand knit hat (the Owl Hat bean Blue) to review and since I don’t have a little one in the house, I gave it to a family member. This is now her son’s favorite hat to wear. I love that it is just adorable and it really makes me want to just smile! It is 100% cotton and hand knit. Truly it is too cute for words!

But, I was also quite amazed when I checked out the website. You really have to take a look! They have such a variety of hats to choose from! There are so many cute choices for both boys and girls. The hats vary in price from $20-24. 

We have teamed up for a giveaway! We have the Girls Snail Hat to giveaway to one winner! To enter, check out the website and let us know your favorite item on the website. Deadline to enter is February 5th, 2015 at noon PST.  One winner will randomly be selected from all entries via Random.org.

Pura D’or prides itself in creating products that feature the highest-quality natural ingredients in their purest form. Every product starts with its USDA Certified Organic Argan Oil, which is Doctor Trusted and produced straight from the source in Morocco.

The cornerstone of Pura D’or is its natural, anti-hair loss shampoos, which target the leading causes of hair loss and promote healthy hair. These shampoos feature a DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) blocking blend created using the highest standards in the industry and unmatched by any other product on the market. Each batch goes through microbiological testing to ensure it is safe and free of harmful additives.

I received  a sample of the Premium Organic Oil Based Anti-Hair Loss Shampoo and I really like this shampoo! It leaves my hair feeling lighter and softer. What I mean by lighter is that it doesn’t feel heavy and weighed down. It also leaves my hair so clean! I noticed that next day after shampooing, my hair does not appear to look oily, dirty or in need of being washed! I actually like to wash my hair every other day so this is a great thing!

Master Lock, the world’s largest manufacturer of padlocks, today announced its continued focus on helping consumers stay safe with a yearlong campaign dedicated to safety through every life stage. To kick off the campaign, Master Lock will ask consumers via Twitter to share the time in their life when safety and security has been most top of mind. For every Tweet posted with the hashtag #MasterLockProtects a $1 donation will be made to the American Red Cross up to $10,000. The campaign will continue throughout the year with a series of safety tips and advice for every life stage and season.

“Each new life stage and season brings new adventures, excitement and memories. It also brings new safety and security considerations. From childhood, to marriage, homeownership, retirement and beyond, Master Lock is there to help protect consumers as their security needs evolve with these memorable life events,” said Rebecca Smith, vice president, marketing for Master Lock. “Through this campaign, Master Lock will show its dedication to providing a full range of reliable, easy-to-use products as well as resources consumers need to keep themselves, loved ones and valuables safe throughout the year and their lives.”

Sweepstakes and Donation

When in your life has safety and security been most top of mind? Starting today through January 31, participants who tweet their reply to this question using #MasterLockProtects will generate a $1 donation to the American Red Cross and will be entered for the chance to win one of 20 prize bundles. Each winner will receive a $100 Visa gift card and various Master Lock products to help keep consumers safe through different life stages and seasons.

Master Lock will donate an initial $10,000 to the American Red Cross and will donate up to an additional $10,000 based on consumer participation in the sweepstakes for a total of $20,000 in donations – just one way the company hopes to keep consumers safe and secure through all life stages and seasons. Master Lock’s donation will support the urgent needs of the American Red Cross mission, whether it is responding to a disaster, collecting lifesaving blood, teaching skills to save a life, or assisting military members and their families during emergencies. This marks the second Twitter sweepstakes that Master Lock has hosted to benefit the American Red Cross. In 2014, Master Lock donated $16,000 to the organization.

Yearlong Education

Throughout the year, Master Lock will continue to provide educational information to consumers on remaining safe and secure through various life stages and seasons. These tips will be available on www.masterlock.com, and will address the following topics:
