I'm always on the lookout for great new hair accessories. I normally have my hair in a ponytail so, the style can get a little stale. I was recently introduced to an online store that has a huge collection of hair accessories at amazing prices. Hair Coverings has such an amazing array of hair accessories. From headbands to hats, ponytail holders to bandanas, hair sticks to hair clips, there's so much to see at Hair Coverings. In the summertime, when my hair is in a ponytail everyday, I like to be able to dress it up a bit. The ponytail accessories from Hair Coverings are fantastic. The Silver Matte and Shiny clip is perfect for any occasion and I love the Beaded Scrunchies. I'm definitely going to be getting a few of their ponytail accessories to spice up my boring summertime "do".
One hair accessory I've been wearing more of recently is headbands. I really like the stretchy headbands because of their comfort and I like wide headbands. Hair Coverings has over 50 comfortable wide headbands that are fantastic because you can fold them down to whatever size you want or wear them all the way open for more of a bandana type look. The selection of colors and patterns is impressive.Hair Coverings sent me a hard headband with jewels on it to see what I thought. I really like it. I'm not usually comfortable with the hard plastic headbands but, this one was great. The jewels are super cute and the headband itself is really great quality. 
My favorite items at Hair Coverings are their Paper Boy Caps. Adorable. These are on my definite must-have list for Fall. And, the prices are fantastic!
I definitely recommend Hair Coverings for wonderful hair accessories. No matter how you style your hair, you'll find something perfect at an affordable price from Hair Coverings.

It's summertime and one of the things that means is that outdoor playtime is inevitable. Whether you are headed to the backyard, the local park or the beach, outdoor toys are a must-have item. We recently tried out a new outdoor toy that completely blew us all away. 
I absolutely adore the story of how the Pocket Disc came to be. Tasked with crocheting a round placemat for her handwork studies, Savanna
unknowingly created the first Pocket Disc prototype. But, her placemat was not
initially recognized for its unique flying abilities. It sat on an end table for over a year
and a half until the father of one of her friends stopped by for a visit and casually
tossed it across the room at Savanna’s dad.
As the placemat floated across the room, Savanna’s dad, Patrick Groft, and
the infamous placemat thrower, Erik Larsen, shared a eureka moment and the
Pocket Disc was born. The two soon launched the company they co-own, Phd
Productions, and began to explore ways to bring this new toy to the mass market.
The Pocket Disc is lightweight and super soft but, throws just like a frisbee. Now, as a mom, I know that outdoor toys often get played with indoors. The Pocket Disc is one of those things that I really don't mind when it gets tossed around in the house. I love how easy it is to roll it up and put it in a pocket, a purse or the diaper bag. I have no doubt that the popularity of the Pocket Disc among college students, outdoor lovers and dog owners will continue to grow. This is, without a doubt, the best frisbee toy I've ever seen. As lightweight and easily folded as it is, the Pocket Disc glides through the air and even my three year old can throw it like a champ. 
If you are headed out to play this year, sending a kid to college this fall, have a friend that loves to throw a frisbee for their dog, the Pocket Disc is a must-have and a fabulous and affordable gift. They come in an array of colors and the online site features tons of games and uses for the Pocket Disc. I highly recommend snagging one today!Buy it!You can purchase the Pocket Disc from their online site or website and at a variety of retailers nationwide including Dunham’s Sports, many independent Play-It-Again Sports and over 500 specialty toy, gift and outdoor retailers.

When I was pregnant with my son I read a ton of parenting and baby magazines. I remember repeatedly seeing ads and mentions of something called a Pee Pee Teepee and thinking it was the most genius thing ever. When he was born, and I got my first glimpse of what can happen when changing a boy's diaper, I was convinced that the Pee Pee Teepee was the most genius thing ever. 
Here, almost 6 years later, I've been introduced again to the fabulous mom-owned company that makes, not only the Pee Pee Teepee but, so many other amazing items. Beba Bean has grown just like my son in the last 6 years. Their gorgeous clothing and other products are now carried in over 2000 retail outlets all over the world. Their product line has gone from the first prototypes of the Pee Pee Teepee to now include bamboo layette, knitwear, blankets, socx, shoes and toys.I must say that the Pee Pee Teepee from Beba Bean is a must-have item for all new moms of little boys and makes the absolute perfect baby shower gift. Other items from Beba Bean, like the Sweater Socx, are definitely swoon-worthy. They are absolutely adorable footwear that are comfortable and versatile enough to wear around the house or out and about. 
Beba Bean sent me a Knit Onesie and a Crochet Bear Toque so that I could see how gorgeous their clothing is. I was instantly blown away by the high quality of the items. The onesie is so soft that I wish it came in my size. They are absolutely perfect for newborns because of the luxurious feel and will definitely make mom happy with their style and timeless look. There were a few pieces of clothing that I put in the keepsake boxes I have for my kids. The Knit Onesie from Beba Bean instantly becomes that keepsake piece of clothing that you'll always hold onto. 
The Crochet Bear Toque is one of the cutest little baby hats I've ever seen. As soft as the Knit Onesie and just utterly adorable. This hat is definitely something that any new mom will love to own and perfect for a baby shower gift basket. 
I'm in love with every product that Beba Bean has to offer. Just browsing the gorgeous items really gets that baby fever kicked into high gear.

I love companies that give back. There are so many amazing causes out there and so many wonderful companies that contribute to them. Chelsea Dischinger, a stay at home mom, is the owner of one of those amazing companies. Justice Juels was founded because Chelsea wanted to make a difference. Justice Juels carries gorgeous hand-made and hand-stamped jewelry, all the rage in jewelry fashion right now, and more than 50% of their profits are donated to organizations who are involved in the fight to abolish Human Trafficking worldwide. 
Human trafficking is a massive problem that has been getting much needed attention in recent years but, still needs people like Chelsea who are dedicated to seeing an end to the horrendous practice and help for the innocent victims. There are approximately 27 million people enslaved all over the world today and an estimated 1.2 million children are trafficked every year. The prosecution numbers are incredibly low and the victims need help. With the help of people like Chelsea and organizations like SCTNow and the Not For Sale Campaign, putting an end to human trafficking is becoming the priority that it needs to be. 
And you can help. There are so many ways you can help this noble cause but, one is by purchasing the beautiful hand crafted jewelry from Justice Juels. The jewelry is affordable, high quality and each piece is hand-made. Justice Juels has an extensive collection of different items to choose from but, Chelsea aims to please and loves to make custom pieces. You can contact her to design your custom jewelry piece and know that the end product will be gorgeous and timeless. Chelsea also understands that as much as people want to help, budgets are tight these days. If you see a piece you love but, can't afford, email her and she'll work with you to design something similar for a fraction of the price. 
It's rare these days to find someone running a business that is so full of love and compassion. Justice Juels and Chelsea Dischinger are a breath of fresh air. I'd recommend the jewelry just from the fashionable looks and amazing quality but, what makes Justice Juels one of my favorite businesses is the fight for justice for victims and the compassion for everyone from those affected by human trafficking to the very customers who are pitching in to help the cause. 
I urge you to purchase your next piece of jewelry from Justice Juels. I assure you that you will love the jewelry and feel amazing knowing that you are helping to end the suffering of millions. Buy it and help!You can see all of the products available from Justice Juels or custom order your own piece HERE.
