 Close Up Pictures

 

 

 I love these necklaces.  The robot necklace is really cute, and the fact that he's bright blue and has rhinestone eyes. Plus his arms so sometimes it looks like it's dancing.  The other necklace is really simple but has that pop of color so its good for spring or summer. It looks a little "Greek" looking to me, which is great for the summer
 

   

Here is a close up of the bangle set, the rosette bracelet and the clip on earrings I made.  The rosette bracelet is really stretchy and fits comfortable. It's also pretty sturdy.  The earring are my favorite of course b/c I made them. I don't like how the clips fit the best but After a while I forget about them.

This sequin change purse/ clutch is really cute. It holds quite a few things and will be easier to carry around compared to the purse I'm always lugging around.  The bangles are identical. I liked them so much I bought 2 just in case. These also hinge at the back center so they fit just about any size wrist.

Here is a closeup of the bangle set. They are really pretty in person and I love them, they just don't fit my wrist. I don't know if it's coming through but they are coppery/bronze color. There are 6 of them. If you would like to see me do a giveaway with these please comment below.

I didn't mention these in my video but they are magnetic earrings. I bought them on a whim and wasn't sure if I'd like them.  When I got home I tried them and don't like them.  So If you'd like to see these in a giveaway please comment below and let me know.  The ones on the left are pink CZ and the ones on the white are pearl.

Rainbow Items

I LOVE the bracelets at the top. All 3 are the exact same. They are a light pink cord, bronze chain, rhinestone chain braided together. They are also bar and ring toggle clasp so I really like that b/c I'm horrible when it comes to putting on bracelets

The bracelet at the bottom is a charm bracelet. Its really cute and is made to fit plus size wrists. I think this is super cute but I'm thinking on doing a giveaway with it as well so comment below and let me know.  To be honest, I'm not OCD but I cant stand the fact that its not symmetrical in terms of the location of the beads, charms, charms + beads. I feel like they should be located in the same place/same order on each side of the owl.

 

      Thank you for taking the time to watch my haul video and read this post. I know it's long but I wanted to post some photos of the products so you could see them a little better. I'm really working on trying to get the video quality better so please overlook it for now. Also please remember that all of these were acquired over the last couple of months, not in a few weeks so some of them may not be available any more.  Don't forget to comment and let me know what you think.  Also if you think I should do a giveaway on the items I mentioned including please let me know   As always, have a wonderful day.

Boogie Wipes Review

Boogie Wipes Review

 

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

 

Extra soft and scented in Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol (for extra stuffy noses), Simply Unscented and Boogieberry, Boogie Wipes are recommended by Pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue.

•  Alcohol, phthalate and paraben free

• Moisturizes with Vitamin E, Chamomile & Aloe

• Hypoallergenic 

(Picture shows towelette folded in half)

      Julie Pickens and Mindee Doney developed the first ever saline nose wipe which as you can see from above, they called  Boogie Wipes as a solution for their kids’ sore, red, runny noses.  Using the idea of Boogie Wipes and their business backgrounds they formed Little Busy Bodies, Inc. in May 2007. After a lot of research and development, they hired a chemist, surveyed consumers and interviewed manufacturers, they sold their first package of Boogie Wipes in December 2007.  After that things took off and Boogie wipes can be found in several chain stores including Walgreens, Toys 'R'Us, Target, and Walmart.

     

Product Review

 

      I first tried these a couple of weeks ago when my sister got them for my nephew because his allergies had been acting up and he was starting to get a cold. And we all know that little stuffy, runny noses always tend to come along with those. These worked wonders for him. Especially compared to using a Kleenex or even a regular diaper wipe.  The saline in these really breaks down the mucus.  Also his nose didn't get red and raw like it does with normal wipes.  I later ended up getting a stuffy nose from where our house stays so dry and mother nature couldn't decide if she wanted it to be sunny, snowy, or raining so my sinuses were out of whack for a few days. These worked great for me as well. They are soft and moist like a diaper wipe but you can definitely tell they've got something extra in there. I believe it's the combination of the saline and aloe.  These didnt cause my skin to break out either which other wipes have done in the past.
      Boogie wipes are great for the job suggested (cleaning boogies away), but I've also used them to remove my makeup and to clean up my nephew's sticky face and hands after he got pop all over himself.  These are just as versatile as diaper wipes except they are better.  The towelette is large (7x7.9 in / 17.8x 20.1 cm) so it can handle a very runny nose as well as a big sticky mess.  It's also thick and durable so no tearing while in use.  I personally suggest that if you aren't in a hurry or only have a small mess or slightly runny nose to clean you could definitely snip these in half as you take them out the package. I know this is an added step but sometimes I found these excessive for some jobs and felt like I was wasting them.
      Boogie wipes currently come in 5 (and soon to be 6) different varieties including Boogie Wipes 30ct and 45 ct which have the snapping lids to keep them from drying out, Boogie Wipes 10ct pack, Boogie Wipes 90 ct canister, Boogie Wipes Blasters 12ct pack, and finally the soon to be released Boogie Mist.  These are available in 5 scent varieties with certain scents being limited to certain varieties.  One of the "scents" is actually unscented so if you or someone you know is sensitive to smells they have a product that fits your needs as well.
      I find these to be a bit on the expensive side when compared to other products (tissues, wipes) that are used for the same purpose. 

Prices   
Boogie Wipes 10ct pack.................................$1.59
Boogie Wipes Blasters 12ct pack....................$1.59
Boogie Wipes 30ct pack................................$3.99
Boogie Wipes 45 ct pack...............................$4.99
Boogie Wipes 90ct Canister..........................$8.99
 
      However, I believe they are worth it.  They actually do what they claim they are supposed to.  If you have children or have been around them, you know nothing is worse than trying to get them to blow their nose, especially when its raw, red, and hurts.  Its not fun for us adults either.  If you use these for what they were designed for (boogies) then they should last a decent amount of time depending on the number of people using them and how often they're used. As I recommended above, you might consider snipping these in half. You can see from the last photo I posted that 1 wipe folded in half is larger than the container itself.
      I recommend these to everyone, especially parents with little ones running around. They come in very handy and are portable so you can keep them on you for whenever you may need them.  It never hurts to try something new, and I'm sure after your first purchase you'll be hooked...
