Natural Luxe features The Bubble Roome, Brand of the Month {GIVEAWAY & DISCOUNT}

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Being that 5 of us from BabyElan {daily} are from the beautiful and prospering Charlotte, NC, it’s quite exciting for us to mingle and meet area momprenuers, shops, and luxe businesses that we get to share with our readers and establish community relationships with.  Today we are starting another “Brand of the Month” with a Charlotte local, Jennifer from Natural Luxe; where she specializes in natural, organic, recycled, handmade and sustainable gifts with style and substance for the home and entire family!

Natural Luxe has a physical location here in Charlotte at The Boulevard at NoDa, 453 E 36th Street, Charlotte, NC but have no fear if you are cross country, the Natural Luxe online shop is packed full with your favorite “green” brands!  I love that Jennifer’s shop offers products and features brands that you may have never heard of before!  She offers such a brilliant array of amazing goods, you’ll never be stuck on “what to buy for a gift” again!

Today’s Brand of the Month from Natural Luxe is The Bubble Roome.  Straight from Brooklyn, NY, The Bubble Roome is bath & body products that are vegan, sulfate-free, paraben-free with non-petroleum labels made from corn.  The luxury of a spa day, without the chemicals, and in your own home!!  Nothing better!  I’ve sampled several products from The Bubble Roome courteous of Natural Luxe and ohhhh lala….the smells are rich {yet delicate}, my skin is smooth {not greasy}, and knowing that all The Bubble Roome products are 100% handmade and healthy for my skin makes me a happy woman!  I’m not the type to splurge on a spa day or pamper myself for that matter, and that’s so wrong!!  Pampering from home can make such a difference in your energy level and self-esteem.  Especially when it’s done the all natural way!  There’s nothing better than when hubby {or a co-worker or other mom for that matter} tells you “Your Glowing…{and your not even pregnant}” or “You smell wonderful today” or “Your skin looks amazing”…compliment after compliment just from a bit of luxury from Natural Luxe at home!

{Check out the organic bedding from pixel organics available at Natural Luxe!}

We’ll be back month to month showcasing a Natural Luxe brand you’ll fall for each and every time!  The Bubble Roome is only the beginning…but it was a fabulous beginning right??  You all are busy ladies with crazy schedules; take some Monday advice from little D…as an after Valentine’s Day treat for yourself, take a moment {an hour} and pamper yourself, and if you use The Bubble Roome products in said pampering, that’s a huge plus for you!!

Mama Mio {GIVEAWAY}

Monday, February 15th, 2010

If I were Oprah and dedicated one episode on my show each year to feature some of my favorite things, Mama Mio would make the list every time!  I became a fan of Mama Mio when I was pregnant with my third child.  I used Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Oil everyday in the second and third trimester and it kept my stretching baby belly soft and stretch mark free.  {The nurses during delivery couldn’t believe it was my third pregnancy since I didn’t have a “road map” on my belly!}  I have also tried the “Smoothie Spa-At-Home Kit” as well as ”Bootcamp for Butts” and loved them both.  However I have to say that my new favorite Mama Mio product, hands down, is the “Lucky Legs Cooling Serum!”  For any lovely lady who has tired legs from the boardroom, ballroom or playroom you have to try it  for yourself!

“Lucky Legs” is a mini spa treatment that makes your legs feel like the inside of your mouth does when you chew spearmint gum.  {That’s how it makes my legs feel at least!}  Not only does this cooling serum leave your knees and toes tingling and relaxed but also leaves behind a very subtle classy sparkly-shimmer.  Every lady can use a pampering dose of pretty like this after a long, challenging day!     

 

Although Mama Mio is very well known for their products used during pregnancy and the recovery period after baby comes “Luck Legs” is a great example of how this brand has expanded beyond the gestational years.  In fact, the four fabulous women behind Mama Mio are very honest when they explain that many products are born from their own needs and wants!  I say, keep it coming ladies… this mama needs all the help she can get!      

GIVEAWAY!  One lucky BabyElan reader will win their own tube of “Lucky Legs.”  To enter, post what your favorite Mama Mio product is right here! This contest will run for one week!  Good luck!

Noah loves his baths.  Bath time is just an extension of playtime :-)   I’m thrilled to be able to use organic products on Noah for baths.  I don’t worry about stinging his eyes, irritation his skin or him tasting the soap and getting sick.   Doesn’t he look like he loves his organic bath! :-)

BABY BEAR SHOP {FREE SHIPPING}

Wednesday, February 10th, 2010

2 organic mamas + 2 babies each = 4 waterbirthed babies + all have allergies.  “We do this for our babies, your babies, and the future of our planet!” The mama voices behind this gorgeous organic baby & mama shop are just like you and me! They want the best for their children, in the present and in the future, and your children as well.  With their wide array of amazing organic products, they make you feel comfortable purchasing from them knowing love, care, and all naturalness went into each and every item!

Let me start with the recycled glass soy wax candle for your home.  Baby Bear Shop knows how to create a candle, let me tell you!!  The sample I got had such a light, lavender vanilla smell, not over powering {which I hate}, yet with a flame…you could smell it’s delicateness rooms away!  Burn time states 30+ hours, yep…I’ve had it for weeks, burning almost every evening for a couple hours and it’s still going strong!  And even the glass enclosure is recycled, that’s a huge plus when purchasing organic, or all natural items for your home…sometimes the only parts of it are “green” not the whole thing!

Check out the ingredients {or lack of yucky ingredients} in their Mama Belly Oil:
certified organic, 100% natural, 100% plant-derived ingredients:
*sunflower oil,
*rosehip seed oil,
*calendula flower oil,
*olive oil,
*lavender oil
*roman chamomile oil,
*red mandarin oil
tocopherol (vitamin e).

*certified organic ingredients, no parabens, synthetic fragrance, or colors. Cruelty-free, not tested on animals. Vegan. How can you not trust something so pure!  Our guest editor Julie S. is trying this out as we speak…she’s due in a few weeks {and can’t wait!!} and I’m looking forward to hearing her comments on this oil during pregnancy and after!  It smelt so good, let me tell you that much!  I’m a big body oil fan…if you’ve never tried it after a shower you must!!  Your skin feels soooo incredible and smooth and it lasts so much longer than lotion!  The Baby Bear Shop oil can be used in your bath, on your body, OR share with baby after he/she arrives…a baby massage with said oil is the most relaxing activity for you both!

So much more to share {including soaps, body butters, gift sets, and more!}, not enough time!!  But before I go, my FAV Baby Bear Shop item is their lip balms!!  It’s safe to say I have a “lip” addiction {get your minds out of the gutter}, I mean…I LOVE lip products!  Not so much lip stick, but the more natural looking lip glosses and balms and anything {all natural of course} that makes my lips smooth and healthy looking, especially during the dry Winter months!  And I’ve never tried a more long lasting balm…Baby Bear Shop has my 100% approval on their “All The Better To Kiss You With” line!  Even my oldest son has his own tin of lip balm to carry with him.  To him, these are “non-girlie”, still sweet smelling {which he’s not against as of yet}, and the perfect size for his pocket!  Again, certified organic in vintage recycled tins…I’m in love!!  My lips are happy!

Enjoy all the goodness from Baby Bear Shop, share with your friends, you won’t be disappointed!  And, we have a favor to ask of our fabulous readers…if you love Baby Bear Shop as much as we do {just by looking at the images you will fall in love with their concept and products!}, help them out by voting for them here…they are getting really close to receiving a small business $35,000 grant and trust me, they deserve it!!  Spread the love for them!

Join Baby Bear Shop on their blog {tons of good “green” information there}, say hi to them on FB too!  AND, use babyluxe30 for free shipping over $30, USA only. Expires 3/1/10, enjoy!!

Daisy Girl {DISCOUNT}

Monday, January 11th, 2010

Do you know what the term Tween actually means?  What ages fall under Tween?  Well, I didn’t know so I had to Google it, thank goodness for Google…and boy did I get a kick out of this definition:  “a girl ages about 9-14…too old for toys, but too young for boys”.  HA!  Through my “research” I’ve discovered that “Tween” can be many different things but basically it’s girls AND boys ranging from 9-13/14, pre-teen, preadolescence.  Younger “Tweens” LOVE to be called a Tween, older “Tweens” take it as an insult.  I say Tween = Drama!  Sorry for the rant but my niece just turned 9, she is now considered a Tween my eyes, hence she is ready for certain girlie products she may not have enjoyed last year.  Since I only have boys, you can imagine the fun I have searching the globe for feminine Tween and Teen products to get her started!  Like today, it’s time to start her out with perfume!

Daisy Girl Perfumes, “Because a Girl should be Pampered!”  That tag-line rings true from infantasy on up to the elderly!  All “girls” should {or should I say need/WANT} to be pampered.  These adorable bottles of sweetness contain delicate, non-overpowering, delicious fragrances perfect for young ladies.  The Tween girls love to experiment with makeup and glitter lotion and shiny lip gloss and body sprays; and being a “Daisy Girl” is all that!  Dress-up for them now entails small heels instead of flats or sneakers, the hippest trends in clothing instead of princess outfits, hair products instead of pony tails…it may be a scary time for parents but it’s an amazing feeling for these girls as they begin to understand the meaning of adolescence and growing into a women.

Bubble Gum, Fruit Punch, Sugar Cookies, and more…flavors {scents} to sweeten your little women and make her feel a bit more independent yet in your eyes still your little girl!  Each Daisy Girl Perfume bottle comes with a charm since the Tween ages are all about jewelry as well, so you’re getting 2 gifts in 1!  Perfect for end of the year gifts as she graduates on to the next grade, for upcoming Easter baskets, or just as your reminder to her…that you as a parent know she’s growing up and you’re there to embrace it with her!  Needless to say, my niece is thoroughly enjoying her Daisy Girl Perfume sample we received and I’m going to enjoy watching her grown and learn over these next few years!

Enjoy shopping Daisy Girl Perfumes and their afforable prices, enter the code BabyLuxe in the merchant comments section upon checkout for a $2 credit back on your purchase.
