Piggy PaintNow that spring is here, sandals, flip-flops and walking around in our bare feet have replaced our usual socks and shoes.  With all of this extra foot exposure, pretty painted toenails are a must!  Riley and I love to have girl time together and paint our piggies, but because she is an antsy little toddler who can't sit still for long, the kind of nail polish used on her has to be special.

Piggy Paint is an all-natural, non-toxic nail polish designed especially for children, which happens to dry completely in only 60 seconds!  I recently had the chance to review an assortment of brand new colors and even a nail pen with Riley.  Keep reading to see how all of our piggies (even daddy's) are looking their best and ready for spring thanks to Piggy Paint!

I reviewed the following items from Piggy Paint:

2-Pack Nail Polish, which retails for $3.98

Girls Rule! Nail Pen, which retails for $8.99

Glamour Girl Nail Polish, which retails for $8.99

Seventh GenerationWelcome the newest arrival of products from Seventh Generation that are gentle on baby, safe for the planet, and convenient for you, not to mention "Lorax approved!"

One of the wonderful things that has come out of the wildly popular children's movie, Dr. Seuss's The Lorax, is the new focus on eco-friendly companies that are operating with our planet's best interests in mind.  Seventh Generation was founded on the belief that it's important to care for today as well as seven generations of tomorrows.  So it was the perfect fit for Seventh Generation to partner with The Lorax himself.  Keep reading to learn more about the Free & Clear Diapers from Seventh Generation!

Hydros BottleWhenever my family goes anywhere, be it to the local park or to another city entirely, I always have a full bottle of water in tow.  I love how healthy and great tasting filtered water is on a hot day, but what happens when that one bottle you filled up before you left the house runs out?

Most of the time, you must then resort to either purchasing a bottle of water, which is bad for the environment as well as your pocketbook, or go without, which isn't healthy.  Thankfully, Hydros Bottle has solved this problem by allowing you to enjoy freshly filtered water absolutely anywhere with the Hydros Side Fill Water Filtration Bottle.  I recently had the opportunity to review this healthy travel essential with my family.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Hydros Side Fill Bottle in Blue from Hydros Bottle, which retails for $23.99.
Part of the proceeds from every bottle sold funds sustainable global water projects, bringing clean water to the one billion people in need.  For every Hydros Bottle sold, one person in need receives access to clean, drinkable water for one year.

PhixWell, it's that annual time of the year when I don my gym shoes and newest pair of athletic pants in an attempt to win the battle of the last 10-15 pounds.  It seems that I've been fighting this battle religiously since having Riley and I've found that my biggest deterrent to actually losing this weight is my inability to stick to a regular exercise routine.  For me, I'm just so drained throughout the day and it takes more energy than I have to get going to the gym.

Once I'm there, life is good and I'm proud of myself for having made it there to work out.  But every day the struggle to get off the couch begins anew.  If only there were a way to get that much-needed energy boost without adding a ton of sugar, caffeine and undo calories to the equation.  Now, thanks to Phix, my prayers just might be answered.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the All-Natural Energy Aid and All-Natural Sleep Aid from Phix, which retails for $9.95 each.

LevAquaThere's  nothing better at the end of a long, hard day than a nice, relaxing shower.  I love taking steaming hot showers, for the water just seems to melt all of the stress away (and leaves me feeling clean and fresh).

Of course, if you've ever stayed at a hotel with a bad showerhead, or watched that episode of Seinfeld where Jerry has low water pressure, you'll know that the showerhead you choose to use can make or break your bathing experience.

LevAqua creates innovative and appealing solutions that are functional, easy to use and affordable for both the kitchen and bath.  They recently allowed me to review the FH220 fixed digital showerhead.  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the FH220S Fixed Digital Showerhead from LevAqua, which retails for $59.99, but is currently on sale for $29.99.
