Win it Wednesday: Win a Boon Animal Bag
Category:
Win it Wednesday
This Week’s Prize: Boon Oval Animal Bag
Why: Leave it to the modern mavens at Boon to come up with a stylish solution for all your kid’s stuffed animals. Instead of taking up precious space and collecting dust, now you can put them to work with Boon’s fun
Animal Bags. Open up any one of the see-through, zippered windows, and fill it to the brim with as many stuffed animals as you can. The end result is one very cool seat that kids can sit on, climb over or anything else their creative minds can imagine.
Available in pink or green (just tell us your favorite to enter), the only problem we have with them is that they’re so fun, you might end up wanting even more stuffed animals to squeeze into the bags. But that’s much better than cringing the next time your kid receives yet another stuffed animal, right?

Top Five Ways to Prep Your Feet for Summer
Category:
Mom Beauty
With the warmer weather here or on the way depending on where you live, it’s time for your feet to come out of hiding. But are they prepared for peep toes and strappy sandals? Here are five easy ways to prep your feet for the season.
Start with the PedEgg, a nifty little gadget that smooths your heels and other rough spots but keeps all the excess inside the egg and not on the floor. After you file, smooth your feet with the included buffer. The fun egg shape makes it ideal for traveling and means one less sharp object you have to hide from your kids. And, for $10 you get two eggs, buffers and foot cream.

After a winter’s worth of weather, your feet are probably on the dry side. My favorite foot cream is the The Body Shop Hemp Foot Protector
($16) . It is exceptionally moisturizing and has panthenol, which helps strengthen nails. You only need a little and your guy will like it, too.

If your files aren’t filing and your clips aren’t clipping the way they should, it’s just $9.99 to upgrade to this 10-piece pedicure kit from Red. It includes a toenail clipper, file, cuticle pusher, toe separators and buffer, all you need for fabulous feet.

Some of us have toenails that look great without polish. Not me. I like Nubar polish ($6.99) because it has no formaldehyde, toluene or DBP, and I polish my toes year-round. With hot pink, well, hot for the season, go for Geisha Blaze, a bright rose color.

Finally, if you’re lucky enough to get a gift certificate to a spa on Mother’s Day, or if you treat yourself to regular pedicures, you may want to check out Pediclear ($24.99). Just slip it into the water in your footbath and it will kill 99.99% of the harmful bacteria for an even more relaxing spa visit.

Category:
Eco-Friendly Mom Bags
What: Reyes Batik Large Tote from The Sak for Earth Day
Why: The Sak is a great company to look for if you’re looking for the latest in creative accessorizing. This new addition to the line is a tribute to eco-conservation and looks as great as it will feel to carry it. The recycled batik material is torn into strips and then crocheted into a groovy and spacious bag. Because of the unique construction, no two bags are alike. The lining is tea-stained cotton using no chemical processes and the logo mandal is made from coconut shell. It’s an eye-catching tote that’s perfect for spring and summer - and Earth Day! In three cool colors.
Price: $89

Baby Find: Natural, Organic Bath For Babies
Category:
Children Bath Time Eco-Friendly

What:
Aussie’s Natralia Organic Bath Products
Why: At my house, we always scrutinize the labels on the products we put onto our bodies.
Natralia puts my mind at ease with their organic baby care line. The formulas for the
Wash & Shampoo and
“Hokey Pokey Potion” Lotion offer natural ingredients that gently care for baby’s skin. They’re also free of common additives (SLS, petrochemicals) that can be harsh on skin and even contribute to eczema.
The
Wash & Shampoo has a delicate citrus scent, and my husband appreciates that it’s not too “girly” for our toddler boy. Of course, the wash is also tear-free. We love the
lotion for everyone in the house, including our six-month old. Lightly scented with fruit oils and flower extracts, it helps us all keep baby-soft. We actually keep two bottles of lotion around, one for the bathroom and one for the baby’s room. Those Australian’s have something awesome going on in the tub.
Price: $7.50
