Etsy : Minky Baby Blanket Review & Giveaway

Today's review is a etsy review. This is from Minky Baby Blanket. A little bit about the owner Kate...

Owner of Minky Baby Blanket and I LOVE HUGS!

There is a quiet unspoken love that comes when you wrap yourself in a blanket. It's like wrapping yourself up in a great big hug! When I started creating Minky Baby Blankets my husband and I were trying to start our family. 3 years ago we found out that we couldn't have children. The news shocked us both and it was a very difficult time in our lives, but out of the pain something beautiful was born. I began working harder. At first it served as a distraction from the pain, but soon it was so much more! Each and every blanket that I make is made with such a deep love, and a passion, to bring smiles and "hugs" into the lives of babies, children, and adults alike.

Family truly is EVERYTHING! We can't wait until we are finally able to adopt and wrap our child in a great big hug! Thank you for your continued love and support.
I love her cause since most of you know that we are struggling to have a baby. I was sent a crib sized Minky Baby Blanket which retails for about $40.95. I choose the Zebra and Chocolate brown blanket since that are my 2 favorite color combinations. I came very nicely packaged and ready to be given as a gift.

The crib size come 30 x 36  She has many different colors and patterns to choose from but I just love this one.

Here is her description of the craftmanship of her blankets.

Minky is the softest and most wonderful fabric for a child to embrace for the first years of life. When I make my blankets I make an effort to use the finest threads, minky fabric, and craftsmanship so that your gift will be the PERFECT GIFT for that SPECIAL PERSON IN YOUR LIFE!

I design all My blankets with great care and attention to every detail. Not only are the Unique, Beautiful and Classy, they are also made to last! I hope you LOVE your new hand crafted blanket as much as I LOVED designing it!

Priya Means Love Review

Today's review is coming from another great etsy store called Priya Means Love. Priya Means Love is a handcrafted line of products for skin, body, and hair, dedicated to radiant beauty without compromise. Our products are 100% natural - every single ingredient is natural, simple, and recognizable. She sent me over 4 of her items from her store. The packaging was very nice and tight nothing leaked or was able to move around. Every item came with its own instructions and information about the product.

The first item she sent me is the Herbal Lip Therapy which retails for $12.00 the photo shown is original size.

This glidy, super-healing organic lip balm is serious treatment for chapped lips. This may be the most healing lip balm you ever use! Wonderful as a nighttime lip treatment. Really stays on the lips.
Packed with ingredients that heal and soothe chronically dry, irritated, chapped lips:
Calendula. Anti-inflammatory, calming, and soothing. Excellent for sensitive, environmentally damaged, irritated, or chapped skin.
Helichrysum, aka Everlasting or Immortelle. A super-potent anti-inflammatory botanical, stimulates new cell formation.
Rosemary, Known for its cell-regenerating and antiseptic properties.
Castor oil and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Humectant oils that draw atmospheric moisture to the lips - you can actually feel this balm softening chapped skin as you wear it

The next item is the Headache & Muscle Balm which retails for $12.00 for a 1.7oz glass jar. She sent me a sample size jar in the photo.



A powerful organic, soothing, minty-herbal balm for tension headaches and muscle pain, melting into the skin and melting away pain. This balm makes all the difference for me (Priya) when I’m suffering from fibromyalgia- and trigger point-related pain, lulling me to sleep at night.
Makes a wonderful massage balm for neck and shoulder tension.
Directions: For headaches, massage balm into the temples, forehead, and especially the neck and shoulder muscles, where tension headaches originate. For muscle pain, gently massage balm wherever it hurts. 
Next is the Lavanilla Body Butter which retails for $6.00 for the purse size as shown in the photo which is 0.5oz.

A tiny version of our popular Lavanilla Body Butter for moisturizing dry hands and lips on the go - ideal for a purse, pocket, desk, or car. Absorbs beautifully after washing hands - use just a tiny bit after every wash to make cracked, scaly hands soft, supple, and comfortable again.
Buttery rich and redolent of wild lavender and sultry organic Tahitian vanilla, our organic Lavanilla Body Butter is a fabulous treat for every day, for dry, damaged skin, or for after sun.
Organic mango butter, olive oil, and sunflower oil deeply feed the skin, moisturizing, reducing inflammation, and regenerating damaged skin.
We hand infuse whole organic Tahitian vanilla beans into our base of organic oils for an aroma that is sensual and warm but is gentle enough for all – ideal for use during pregnancy to prevent stretch marks. Don't mind the occasional fleck of organic vanilla in our rich butter!
Wonderful smoothed onto the body after a shower to lock in moisture, especially after exfoliating or shaving. A little goes a long way.

Lastly us their Sweet Mouth Mint drops which retail for $8.00 for a 5ml bottle as shown.

A pocket-sized atomically powerful breath freshener to use one drop at a time – for a sweet and delicious mouth. Convenient to keep on hand for whenever you need it! Freshens instantly so you’re not stuck chewing gum or sucking an artificially sweetened breath mint.
Peppermint, spearmint, and stevia leaf sweeten and freshen as they curb bacteria responsible for bad breath. 
Skip the sugary or artificially sweetened breath mints and go for these yummy, highly effective drops! 

I absolutely love all of these products. I keep them all in my purse except for the Headache & Muscle Balm. Each one has a great natural smell at a great price. She is based out of Canada so shipping may take a bit longer but it is definitely worth it.

Tracy's Bracelets and Soaps Etsy Review

I reviewed 2 bars of soap from Tracy's Bracelets and Soaps on etsy. Her etsy store name is Denmark55033. They came nicely packaged all wrapped with tissue paper.

     The first bar I am going to talk about is the Wango Mango Swirl Homemade soap cold compress which retails for $5.00

This soap is sure to transport you to far away lands with one sniff! A pure mango scent that is amazing.

If you have never tried homemade soap, you are in for a treat! I find that when I use it in the shower, I no longer have to lotion my entire body after showering! My skin is hydrated and happy – not to mention smells wonderful!

I even use homemade soap to wash my hair! Just get your hair wet like normal and either rub the bar all over your hair or lather into your hands then put the lather in your hair. If you experience a buildup of oils (this is normal because there are no harsh chemicals in the soap that strip the natural oils away) either wash with regular shampoo as needed (maybe once a week) or use a vinegar-water rinse. I no longer need to use conditioner now that I started washing my hair with homemade soap!

Lastly I was sent Merlot Wine Homemade Cold Compress Process which retails for $5.00

This is a wonderful, sweeter soap that has Smoking Loon Merlot Wine as its base. On top of the wonderful scent the wine gives, I have added a mixture of scents including pomegranate and cherry as well as a few other goodies! The deep color comes from the wine itself with a small amount of oxide added for a swirl affect.

This would work well for men as well as women!

This listing is for one 4.50 - 5.00 ounce (approximate) bar of this delicious smelling soap!

This soap is really nice and soft for hands!

If you have never tried homemade soap, you are in for a treat! I find that when I use it in the shower, I no longer have to lotion my entire body after showering! My skin is hydrated and happy – not to mention smells wonderful! 

I really like this soap it is very moisturizing and made my skin really soft. The bars are very large and you definitely get your moneys worth. She also sells jewelry. Her soap designs are just beautiful and would be great to give as a gift also.

ecoAlternatives Review

With all of this talk about being green and going organic and recycling i though what else can I do that will help myself in the long run. Thanks when i found ecoAlternatives on etsy. She carries a wide range of different types of cloth pads. When i mentioned this to a few friends the first thing they said was eww gross! When i explained the benefits some of them still dint want to hear it. I told them that I bet it is like the feeling of a baby wearing a plastic diaper all day. So with that said i saw sent over this cute cherry pattern cloth pad.

The details: The Regular Pads
Measures: Approximately 9" in length and 3" across when the wings are snapped.
Materials: Made of an outer layer of comfortable flannel with a layer of waterproof fabric (PUL) and a layer of absorbent ZORB sewn securely in between.
Closure: Wrap-around your panties wings secure with a snap!
Flow Meter: My pads will contain a medium flow.

Care: Simply store used pads/liners in cold water (to help prevent staining) and then toss them in the wash before drying out. Pads/liners are machine washable and dryer safe. If cared for properly, they can last for years.

I have to say I felt a little weird using this but as soon as i put it on i told my husband it felt like heaven in my underpants! The only negative this was when it was time to take this off take this off I had to put a regular plastic pad on and it was so uncomfortable. I will defiantly be investing in cloth pads this was so amazing.

Naked Moon Soap Etsy Review

I have found a great seller on etsy. Her shop is Naked Moon Soap.

It came packaged with a pink raffia on it. So cute just like a little present.
When i opened it all up the soaps looked like this..

I think my favorite one is the Peppermint Piccadilly. They are very moisturizing and do not dry out my skin. They were also very good on Brendan's skin as well and he had eczema.

Next she sent me  Tangerine Twist cupcake and this item retails for $3.25

Our adorable handmade bath bomb cupcakes are a wonderful treat for your bath tub! Get a burst of Tangerine scent.They look like real cupcakes but remember their NOT edible!

Flat iron/curling iron Case Etsy Review

I recently had the chance to review a flat iron case from JTBoys on etsy. She sent me over the pink and lime heart print. This bag retails for $20.00. She has many different patterns  to choose from. I was very impressed with the stitching and features on this bag. It is made very good and i could not find any flaws in this bag.
She uses her own designs to make these.

Flat iron/curling iron case that is convenient for on the go. No cool down time needed. The outer cover is in pink and lime color heart prints. The outer fabric is made from 100% cotton and pretreated with scotch guard. The inside is lined with ironing board material. The inside has a pouch to insert the iron and a strap to keep the extension cord in place. The case is also used as a place mat for the iron. Good for protecting the countertop or carpet. The case has a zipper enclosure.

This design is so slim and comapct that you could easily fit your straightner into your travel bag or purse.

I love this product and I am someone who uses their straightner everyday. I reccomend this for your straightner or curling iron. This would be a great gift for anyone.
Her shop doesnt stop there..She also has Changing Pad Pals.
