Closed Boogie Wipes Review and Giveaway Ends 3/15

February 17, 2011 by Ashley 27 Comments

Congratulations, Sandra U.!

Tis the season for runny noses, coughs, sneezes, viruses and colds. Anyone who has ever had to wipe a child’s runny nose remembers the battle. They squirm, whine and will to anything to avoid that tissue. On top of the battle, you also have to deal with the poor sore, red noses that come with regular tissue use. Boogie Wipes is an amazing product that helps with both problems!

What makes Boogie Wipes different? Their website says,

Boogie Wipes are made with natural saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments.

Extra soft, alcohol, phthalate and paraben free, Boogie Wipes are available in Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol and Simply Unscented. Recommended by pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue.

How do they differ from a baby wipe?

Made with natural saline to dissolve mucus
Hypoallergenic
Alcohol-free
Moisturize with vitamin E, aloe and chamomile
Fun scents
Phthalate & paraben free

Our thoughts:

I love how the saline solution gently removes stubborn mucus while also being gentle and safe. My favorite thing about them is that they don’t fall apart at all. One wipe handles the job so there’s no running back to the tissue box. I’m also impressed that Boogie Wipes come in two different sizes. The individually wrapped wipes are prefect for pockets and purses while the larger packs are great for diaper bags, at home, and in the car. They even have 120-count bulk canisters exclusively available for schools, childcare centers, and doctor/dentist’s offices. Another great thing to love, Boogie Wipes were invented by moms so not only are they great but they are affordable! They are only $3.99 for a 30 pack or $2.99 for 10 individually wrapped wipes. These moms know that if it isn’t effective and affordable that thrifty moms aren’t likely to buy them. As a side note, this is a great way to support mom entrepreneurs. : )

Boogie Wipes has an easy to navigate website where you can buy products directly from them or find retailers near you that carry Boogie Wipes. You can also join the Boogie Bunch, which periodically gives updates on new stores that carry Boogie Wipes, learn when you can get free samples, and get a $0.50/1 coupon! For the kids, they have a Save The Sleeve website where kids can take the Save the Sleeve Pledge, play games, learn facts, get free tattoos, and read stories and jokes. What a fun way to educate kids about gems and how not to spread them!

Buy it:

Head over to the Boogie Wipes website to buy any of their products. Also, be sure to check out Achooz, the adult saline nose wipes.

Win it:

The generous ladies at Boogie Wipes wants to give (2) packs of 30-count wipes (fresh, grape, or menthol- combination varies) to one lucky Embracing Beauty reader.

Be sure and leave your email in the email address field so I can contact you if you win!

Closed Preggie Pops Review & Giveaway Ends 3/14

February 16, 2011 by Ashley 40 Comments

Congratulations to Jessica P, Elizabeth K., Kathryn, & Rachel.!

Preggie Pops may very well be one of the best and most inexpensive gifts for expectant mothers. More than 50% of pregnant women will experience morning sickness in their pregnancy.

Some doctors have recommended various methods and treatments for getting rid of this problem. Some say to eat small and frequent meals. Some recommend using sea-sickness bracelets to deter nausea. Preggie Pops is a safe and natural way to help combat nausea.

Since I’m pregnant and still battling with morning sickness I was excited to give Preggie Pops a try. Like any other mom who has ever suffered morning sickness, I was willing to try anything and candy sounded nice even if it didn’t work. : )

Preggie Pops looks too simple to be true but easy and affordable enough to give it a try. They appear to be mere lollipops that come in a pack of seven. I received a sour package which included the following flavors: Sour Tangerine, Sour Lemon and Sour Raspberry. Since I love candy, I hoped Preggie Pops would be the solution for me.

By the way, Preggie Pops’ parent company Three Lollies recently introduced Preggie Pop Drops to the world. These have the same safe and active ingredients as Preggie Pops without the stick. Three Lollies sent me a package of each to review.

I first previewed Preggie Pop Drops when I knew I was going to be out of the house for a few hours and away from my precious stash of goldfish and saltines. I went to a marriage conference with my hubby and a couple friends of ours (it was amazing by the way!). I threw three drops in my purse to help me manage my nausea as I would be away from snacks for quite a long period of time. To my surprise I LOVED them! Now, I can’t stress to you how much I dearly love these. I leaned over during the conference to tell my husband how great they were and he just laughed at me. I guess I was expecting them to be kind of bland and boring but they weren’t at all. I know the question on everyone’s mind is “Did the nausea go away?” The answer is an easy one, yes, it sure did! The Preggie Pop Drops were yummy, got rid of my dry mouth, and kept my nausea at bay, this is a wonder product ladies! As you can imagine the Preggie Pops are just as great.

I’ll probably stick with my multiple small meals through the day but when I’m going to church I will be sure to stash a few drops in my purse or when I go to the grocery store I might carry along a pop with me. If I worked outside the house these would never leave my side!
