EdenFantasys.com Rocks!

So, if you didn't order anything from EdenFantasys for your wife on Mother's Day, I have to tell you, you missed out! But, you still have time! Their Mother's Day coupon codes do not expire until May 15th...so hurry up and get that order in!

Why EdenFantasys.com is so awesome...

I recently ordered the Shunga garden of edo organic collection - massage kit and I just have to say that I'm in HEAVEN with this set! My first thought was $79!!!!???? BUT, THEN it went on sale down to $59.25...$59.25...that's about $11.85 per product. Organic and safe for the body...and the only thing in the set that is NOT edible is the bath salt.

Okay, it's organic, so that's a plus...then, I decided to read through the reviews with my husband and the "most negative" review was actually positive, while others said it was definitely worth every penny...And, I must say that I even had to write a review on their site myself, which is not normally something I do unless the product is FANTASTIC, due to lack of precious time.

I'm just going to highlight my two most favorite products in this set, because I'm pretty sure that you can also buy them as separate items. Here's the set:

Shunga Garden of Edo Collection

What are my two most favorite products in this collection? It's a tie. Hands down, the massage oil (the fourth item from the left, $18.99)) and the aphrodisiac oil (the middle bottle with the cork and the funky green color, $17.99).

The massage oil has an incredible, light smell of...bananas? (But, they call it a green apple on their site.) The aroma is not overwhelming and it fades away as you use it. The oil makes the skin feel so smooth and silky afterward and, to use the colloquialism "a little goes a long way". It does not get sticky, icky, gooey like some products do as you use it and it doesn't have a taste, either. THEN, beyond the yummy smell and the perfection of the texture, it has WARMING properties, so when you're getting a massage, there is a slight warming feeling between the hands and your body. This is THE BEST massage oil I have ever received a massage with...ever.

The aphrodisiac oil is incredible! That little bottle is filled with liquid gold, in my opinion, and it's another one of those "a little goes a looong way" products. At first sniff, it doesn't smell like much of anything, but when you taste it...imagine watermelon jelly beans and cotton candy mixed together...incredible! THEN! It has a warming - or tingling? (I haven't quite figured it out) - sensation, too.

I would pay nearly a $50 price for those two bottles alone, for a special occasion. So, $59.25, it was and, as a reviewer already claimed on the EdenFantasys.com site, it was "worth every penny".


This is just another reason why EdenFantasys.com rocks!




Oh, one more thing...stay tuned for an EdenFantasys.com giveaway in June!









Thanks, EdenFantasys.com, for your coupon code! Regardless of the coupon code, I have provided as honest a review as possible.

Happy Mother's Day!

It's your day, moms! Enjoy!

Fashion for Fun Kids – Boys Designer Clothes

When it comes to fashion for boys, children’s clothes and kids’ clothes have come on leaps and bounds.

Children’s clothes and kids’ clothes have transformed over recent years - especially when it comes to boys designer clothes.

Children’s Clothes through the Ages

In the Victorian era, boys were often dressed up in sailor suits or Fauntleroy suits for family photographs. Children’s clothes and kids’ clothes were far more formal and uncomfortable. Before shorts were introduced, boys wore knickerbockers, but shorts became fashionable in the early years of the 20^th century, largely thanks to the boy scouts movement.

Fashion’s For Girls!

Traditionally, fashion for boys didn’t exist. Short trousers and shirt sleeves were your lot. Since the 1920s children’s clothes for boys revolved around short trousers - boys would wear short trousers until the age of 13, and the fashion remained until the 1960s.

Boys Designer Clothes – More than Short Trousers

Children’s clothes and kids’ clothes today however have transformed, especially for boys. So much so that one news report stated that boys overtook females as being the biggest fashion victims. The finger is firmly pointed at David Beckham for influencing fashion and style, and making boys increasingly image conscious. Beckham even designed his own children’s clothes and kids’ clothes aimed at boys.

Beckham told the press at the launch: “I've always been into clothes, whether good or bad …I think I appeal more to younger children than to older ones.” Beckham said he felt children’s clothes and kids’ clothes today are much better now than when he was a child. 

Children are definitely more fashion conscious these days, and boys are concerned about looking cool, sporty, urban and casual. Now there are designer children’s clothes and kids’ clothes aimed directly at the fashion-conscious youth, who hold David Beckham up as an icon.

Fashionable Children’s Clothes – A Priority

Many boys are into designer labels and sport labels too, but boys will also be boys – not all of them are into looks. Buying fashionable children’s clothes and kids’ clothes however is clearly a priority for both sexes these days.

Childs Play Clothing aims to provide the most fashionable, unique and high quality children's clothing available. The company has grown through its outstanding reputation throughout the world. Customers include the children of stars and clothes are often featured in fashion shows, or photo shoots in magazines and newspapers. To find out more, browse the entire range online today.

Creative Outlets for Kids Parties

Are You Looking for Ways to Encourage Innovative Play?

Children's tents are a great way to get your kid’s creative juices flowing at a children’s birthday party, as tents provide a platform for the children to use their imagination. Tents can be a constructive outlet for their continued learning and development.  Just pair a tent with a range of decorative and exciting kids party supplies for a birthday hit every time.

With new school curricula and the tremendous growth of technology for children, both of which tend to push out creative play in favor of longer numeracy and literacy hours, young children are missing out on nurturing their creativity during their vital developmental stages. And now that education specialists are beginning to realize the importance of imaginative play now more than ever, more and more parents are focusing on their child’s play time within the home. 

Children’s tents are becoming increasingly popular, for use both indoors and out, due to the concept that children need to expand the amount of time per day that they participate in innovative play and also enhance their imagination. The versatile design of tents allow children to engage in constructive play times that can be just as beneficial in the process of their continual learning and development as any other toy that they could play with. 

 Here are several benefits that tents can bring to children's play:

Developing Imagination   

                               

A tent isn’t just restricted to being a tent. Giving your kids the time to let their imaginations run wild can turn it into almost anything. Play cottages can become shops, pavilions can become castle turrets for princesses; the possibilities are endless. Themed children's tents can come in a range of designs to suit your child’s preferences. From toy shops and cottages to beach houses and gingerbread houses; more and more families are choosing decorative and beautifully appliqued cotton play houses to inspire their children to act, perform and develop their imagination.

Constructive Building

As well as playing in the tents, children can enjoy constructing them and deconstructing them. Children's play tents are usually made up of basic poles and connective ends. Under a watchful parental eye, the construction of the tents can be a rewarding experience as they learn how to build the structures themselves. Keeping them busy outdoors with tent construction could aid their physical development, and they may even choose to stay active outdoors for longer than normal, with their new project. 

Learning Through Play

Most learning coordinators will tell you that playtime is essential for developing the hand-eye co-ordination of young children and the life skills of older ones. Something as simple as ‘playing house’ in a children's tent can aid learning, develop motor skills, enhance imagination, and help your kids become increasingly independent. Playtime that involves pretending to look after themselves could help encourage them to want to do things more independently, around the house and in general. 

If you are looking for childrens party supplies to inspire your kids to get creative, you can find a range of items at Parteaz.

Top Five Features That Will Help Your Sunglasses Outlast Your Kids

Let’s face it: moms of younger kids know that they need strong, durable sunglasses to outlast the torture they’ll be put through. Kids will snatch sunglasses from mom’s face and throw them on the ground, try them on to be just like her and more. Certain features can help moms choose sunglasses that can withstand the tug and pull of daily life to last long enough for moms to worry less about buying new sunglasses and more about what to wear with them.

1. Flexible Frames

Flexible frames are virtually unbreakable. Twist them, bend them and even try folding them in half, and all they seem to do are morph into an endless array of shapes. Flexible frames almost dare you to try and defeat them. Try brands like Maui Jims or Flexon frames from Marchon.

2. Solid Nosepieces

Soft nosepieces that are attached to your sunglasses with screws just offer one more piece that can be broken for those that are hard on glasses or moms that like to put their glasses up on top of their heads. Opt for a solid nosepiece that is one with the frames to avoid those that will break or fall off, leaving your sunglasses in need of repair.

3. Scratch-Resistant Lenses

Dropping your sunglasses or having them thrown to the ground can scratch the lenses, making you look at an angle through your lenses to see around the scratches. Avoid strain on your eyes by choosing a lens that has a protective scratch-resistant coating on them, like Maui Jims Clearshell or Oakley PLUTONITE polycarbonate lenses.

4. Arm Hinges

The weak point of many sunglasses, arm hinges can break even when the rest of your sunglasses seem indestructible. Before purchasing a pair of sunglasses, ask about repair policies. If the hinge bends, some sunglass stores will make free repair by bending them back into place. Always have a kit that includes extra screws and a special screwdriver to fix them with as well.

5. Consider Alternatives

Instead of opting for expensive brand sunglasses to take the brunt of the wear and tear that most moms’ accessories face, consider purchasing less expensive brands of sunglasses while your children are younger. Many malls offer lookalike brands that look similarly expensive without the hefty price tag. By choosing these less expensive brands, not only will you be less upset if your tot destroys a couple, but you can enjoy taking those pictures when she tries them on herself and even coordinate more outfits with a variety of looks!


Whether you decide to purchase a more expensive brand of sunglasses or something less costly, look for features that protect your shades against the everyday bumps of life like flexible frames, scratch-resistant coating and solid nosepieces to get the most life from your glasses.
