DownEast Basics Review & Giveaway

I had the greatest opportunity to review for DownEast Basics! I really didn't know what to expect from their clothes.

I picked the Beach Babe Dress to review. First of all, it arrived really fast! I was very pleased with the fast shipping! That comes in handy when you need something quickly for an event you may be going to!

Once I opened the package and pulled out the dress, I fell in love! I spend a lot of time out on the lake and at the beach. Sometimes it's a pain to have to put shorts and a shirt on after being in the water! With the Beach Babe Dress, that solves my problem! I can just slip it on super easy, and be on m way!

The dress is really soft! As my mom would say, 'it's like butta!' :) I'm obviously a girl, so I need, want, and have to have soft things! Haha! Another great thing, is that it fit so nice! It's loose, but also very flattering. Very comfortable to wear. It has double spaghetti halter straps which makes it super easy to get on and off, and also gives it a little more flare! It has crochet details at the top on the chest which is absolutely beautiful!

It's made of 52% cotton and 48% modal. I had to look up modal because I had never heard of it before. But I learned that modal is a variety of rayon. It's 50% more water absorbant than cotton and wont fade or shrink! Man, you can learn so much from trying new things!

Next weekend I am going to Sea World, and you can bet I will be wearing this dress!

DownEast Basics has a lot of other items besides my dress. They sell Tees & Camis, Skirts, Swim wear, and so much more! After getting this dress and seeing the quality of DownEast Basics, I will be looking around their catalog and ordering more! I'm a very happy customer! You should head over and start ordering so you can join me in my happiness! :)

Summer in the South: Sand Gone Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Share

Don't you just love the beach!? I know I do! The smell of the ocean, the salty breeze, I love it all! The only thing I don't like is getting in the truck to leave and trying to get the sand off of you. It's virtually impossible! Then you track it home, into the house, into the shower. Yuck!

Well, Sand Gone solves that problem! Sand Gone is an all natural, non-toxic powder. When the powder is brushed on sand covered skin, the sand just falls off! Your skin feels silky and clean without feeling wet or scratchy! It also has a hint of coconut scent! The perfect scent for that beach setting!

I received a jar of Sand Gone for review. It does exactly what it says it does! The sand comes right off! Any water around here that we visit has a sandy beach so Sand Gone is a blessing for us! We use it all the time. It smells good and leaves your skin feeling lovely!

I really wish I would have known about this at our last unit when we lived in a beach house! We were always tracking sand everywhere. We aren't as close to the beach now, but when we are at those sandy places, we don't bring it home with us! I love Sand Gone!

An 8oz. family sized jar of Sand Gone is only $12 + shipping! That is well worth it! Or, you can get a Sand Gone Beach Bag with lots of goodies for only $26 + shipping! Go order today!

Summer in the South: Kidorable Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Share

I am always looking for cute things to buy my boys. I've been on the look out for hooded towels for them for a while. We are always at the lake in the water, so I wanted to get them something that would work better than an ordinary towel.

Then I came across Kidorable! They are exactly what their name says! They have the most adorable items ever! And it's all for the little ones! They have umbrellas, rain coats, rain boots, backpacks, knit hats, knit scarves, knit gloves, towels, sun hats, embroidered shirts, hanger sets, and bookends! Click HERE to browse through the whole line!

For my review I received 4 items. The dolphin and pirate umbrellas and the fireman and pirate towels! The umbrellas are perfect for us! If you have ever lived or visited Mobile, AL, you know how much it rains here! We get A LOT of rain. My boys are always wanting to hold the umbrella. I'd let them, but since they are so short, I'd literally be left out in the rain! Now, they have their own umbrellas. Ones that they, themselves, picked out! And, they are so Kidorable! :) They want to bring them out even when it's not raining! They are kid sized, so they fit their little hands perfectly! I love them and they love them, what more could you ask for!

The towels are perfect for us as well! And once again, they want to walk around the house wearing them when they don't need them. The nice thing about the towels is that they are hooded and can be buttoned. So, when we are leaving the lake and get into the air-conditioned truck, they can keep them on so they wont get cold, and they wont get their car seats wet. They fit around them nice to where the seat belt and straps can still be on them! My problem, solved! The pirate towel has an eye patch on the hood and the fireman towels' hood is just like a fireman hat! They love that! They really feel like they are a pirate and fireman!

Overall, I am in love with Kidorable! I want to buy so much stuff from there! With so many cute items to choose from, I will be back there again and again! :)
