Jamberry Nails.

2/10 would never buy.

These are marketed at people on the go and people who need a nail look that will last a long time.. well who needs that more than a mother? I can think of no one else! I had a friend who offered to send me one that she had laying around and I really appreciate it. Saved me $15 for ONE sheet of these. If they were what they said they are hell yea I'd pay $15.

Anyway, So I opened the little ziplock bag it came in with a file. There was a business card with all the instructions on the back with it. Simple enough.

Start to do this, it's not easy. At all.  It took me 45 minutes to do them. I could have painted my nails 4 times by then.  It looks like plastic, it bubbles like plastic and they I could push and one and it would fall off. I would hate to see what would happen if I washed dishes.. or even just washed my hands. They didn't file easily because they are plastic it kind of just stretched and made them look bad. In theory they are an amazing idea. and if they worked I would buy a lot of them. But they really aren't worth the money or the time I just put into them for them to fall off right after.

Frogg Toggs Chilly Pad.

Instructions: Wash before first use. wring out. Do not put in dryer.

Use product while wet. Wet in Warm or cool water, wring out excess water. The towel is a highly evaporative "man made" sponge material. When exposed to air and allowed to breathe, the towel will begin to evaporate and allow the skin to breathe in direct contact.

The towel is completely organic and recyclable.

Review: It smells like playdoh. kinda feels like playdoh. but it is cool to the touch. Doesn't feel wet, just cool. I like it. A friend asked me to review it to see if it would be good in a carseat to keep child cool and in the carrier to keep mom and baby cool. And yes I think it would be a good thing to use, but it needs ventilation. I would recommend putting it against babies skin but I don't think it would do damage if it was on the skin. It's pretty nice. I would use the product in the car for her or when she was in the carrier any day. So 10/10 would buy again.

Rumpus Time Cloth Diapers

8/10 great workmanship.

I have had one RumpusTime in my whole cloth time and it was a pocket. RT now is only Hybrid Fitteds. I really liked my RT. It was beautiful and made very well. It had beautiful star snaps to go with the galaxy print. It was beautiful. I received it in an diaper exchange. I sadly had to sell it, but if I could buy it again I would! It really was a great diaper. The functionality of this diaper was a lot better than most.

The Rebecca Foundation Cloth Diaper Closet

I really just want to say this foundation really is amazing. Not only is the founder an amazingly sweet woman, but everything they do is really amazing. Cloth diapers aren't cheap and not everyone can afford them all at once like they would need them. Now you are thinking "Why don't they just buy disposable diapers if they can't afford cloth." Well, 1 in every 3 families can't afford disposables either. With The Rebecca Foundation they will loan out diapers to families in need so they can be cloth diapering as they are building up their stash! It is completely free to the families in need! I have honestly never seen a better foundation. They have chapters all over the America. So if you need help or would like to donate contact them!

SassyCloth

6/10 Cute, functional.

I like Sassycloth. I do. Sassycloth just has some bugs it needs to work out, I guess. I have 4 sassycloth diapers and they are some of the cutest diapers I own. One of them the PUL just doesn't feel right? and It's hard to stuff. One leaks like crazy, in fact I haven't used it in so long I couldn't tell you where it is. The other two are amazing. They are cheap which is nice. They seem to be made well minus some PUL issues, I don't know if it was a bad batch or what. The one problem I have with Sassycloth is they aren't compliant. There are zero tags on them, I don't know anything about their fabric or anything.

Kutie Patootie Cloth Diapers

I will not be posting pictures of the butt of my Kutie Patootie just to protect my daughters identity seeing as I have a "birth stat" diaper from her, I will post pictures of other diapers like it.


10/10. Amazing.

I love this diaper. It is beautifully made. She worked with me 100% to make this diaper. She bought fabric based on what I wanted and she added things to the design for me. It is just amazing. It is an amazing fit and Gorgeous. She has a great turn around time if you get it in a stocking. If not she has a waiting list. You need one of these diapers in your life. They are that great. Soft, and beautiful. I cried when I received mine.

Binky D Cloth Diapers

I will start this review by saying I do not particularly like Hybrid Fitted diapers.

7/10. Great Craftsmanship.

I personally own an old fit Binky D. I won it in a giveaway between friends.

 I don't see the difference between this diaper and another hybrid fitted. I think you mostly buy the name of Binky D.

 It is cute, it is nice. I really like the colors and things. The craftsmanship is amazing. Because it is a hybrid fitted I am not in love with it. I do like the diaper I just don't use it very often. The fit is great. It's a breathable. It holds pee and poop. Which is good because it's a diaper. :}

Maximama

For my first review I am going to actually review a couple different diapers but for the first one I'm going to start with "Maximama".

9/10. Great craftsmanship. Cute Prints.

The thing I really like about these is I have yet to find anything made remotely like these fleece covers. They just blow my mind with function and style. I have yet to find a cover that breathes or fits as well as these do.  I would buy all of her stock if I used covers as often as I do pockets. They are amazing. The only downside I can find to Maximama is she doesn't make pockets, only covers. Great covers but I would love to own a Maximama pocket. I can only hope for the future!
