Belly Bumps & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Dali Decals Review & GIVEAWAY!

I was given the opportunity to review a wall decal from Dali Decals . They have a huge selection of different wall decals that are suitable for almost any room in your home. I selected an adorable decal for on of the walls in our baby's nursery. We got the Sleepy Koala on a Branch! I loved that we could order it the way it is pictured below or the reverse of that to hang it from the opposite wall! I was super excited to try the decals out but my husband on the other hand did not like the idea of "putting a sticker on the wall." He thought it would look cheap and ruin the wall if we wanted to remove it. My only concern was how hard was it going to be to place on the wall.

After receiving the decal, I was impressed to see that it came properly packaged (to prevent folds in the decal) and it came with very easy to read directions and a squeegee to help apply the decal. I was even more impressed at how easy it was to apply the decal and how well it looked when we were finished. The Decal totally makes the room and adds so much fun to the wall. I was shocked to hear how well my husband loved the decal as well (considering his negative comments before hand!)

We couldn't be happier with the way it turned out. It matches our nursery theme and colors perfectly and was very easy to apply! I would highly recommend Dali Decals to anyone who is wanting to spice up their walls! You can even request a sample before committing and the decals are very affordable!

(Finished Product!)

I love how the colors pop on our blue walls!

The best part is that if you need to change up your space and need to remove the decal it simply peels off the wall without leaving any residue or damage to the wall! We had a great experience with Dali Decals and we look forward to ordering from them again in the future! Their decals could also make great gifts for house warming parties, weddings or baby showers!

Belly Bumps & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Mama Mio Tummy Rub and Boob Tube!

"The yummiest, purest, creamiest, melt-in-your-skin butter we could possibly make.
Mama Mio pregnancy skincare products work because of their very high levels of Omega 3, 6 and 9 to ensure your skin has the best fighting chance against pregnancy stretch marks. One scoop and you'll know our Tummy Rub Butter deserves every award and accolade it has won. It smells gorgeous, makes you feel gorgeous and is a pleasure to use"


 Mama Mio offers the BEST stretch mark butter! I've heard several people tell me that it is not worth buying expensive creams for stretch marks because none of them work. I was excited to be able to try out Mama Mio's products for myself.

The Tummy Rub Stretch Mark Butter ($35) is designed for increasing skin elasticity. This is what moms need for their ever changing body. It is packed rich in omegas and other products that are top of the line. This stuff smells AMAZING and feels AMAZING! I have been using it for several months now and I have not had any stretch marks appear. It makes my skin feel ever so soft! My husband typically hates strong smells but he doesn't mind the smell of this butter at all.

What is in this product?

Shea Butter: The most potent healing and nourishing butter with natural latex to lock in moisture and improve elasticity.

Borage Oil: An ancient oil and one of the richest sources in Omega

Wheatgerm Oil: Rich in Vitamin E and amazingly healing and nourishing to the skin

Rosehip Seed Oil: Rich in Omega 3 and 6 and is a wonderful healing treatment for damaged and distressed skin

Gravida: The oil fragrance that makes this stuff smell sooo good. A blend of 10 pregnancy safe aromas.

The best part is that it is totally safe to use while you are pregnant! I highly recommend it to others and this is by far my favorite stretch mark product! It puts other similar products to shame! I wish this product came in a bigger size!

You can purchase Tummy Rub Butter at MamaMio.com

It sells for $35 for a 4oz jar

"Apply once daily from neck to below boobs for dive-in cleavage with a smooth, firm décolleté and neck"

This product is also AMAZING! This leads me to believe that all Mama Mio products are top of the line. I've been applying this product for several months now and have noticed a difference. My skin appears firmer and more youthful and has a nice dewy glow! It also smells WONDERFUL! Words cannot express how satisfied I am with these two products. I will defiantly be purchasing more!

What is in this product?

CoQ10 is Nature’s wonderfully powerful antioxidant that helps prevent collagen degradation.
Collagen is the all-important protein net that supports your skin keeping your boobs, neck and décolleté free from the effects of gravity and aging.
Milk Thistle a second natural antioxidant to help prevent free radical damage to delicate skin.
Evening Primrose Oil is moisturising and emollient, restoring the body’s natural balance of Omega 3, 6 and 9, reducing the effects of aging.
Sweet Almond Oil is rich in vital Omega 3, 6 and 9; very nourishing and quickly absorbed, leaving a soft sheen on the skin with no residue.
Shea Butter is the most potent healing butter; an Omega-rich natural latex that helps stave off sagging and wrinkles.
Avocado Oil is extremely moisturising, rich in antioxidants and Omegas, deeply penetrating and rich in Vitamins D and E.

Belly Bumps & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail Review!

I was very excited to be able to try out the new Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail! I was even more excited when it came in the mail and was everything I hoped it would be and more! It has an innovative design yet has very simple features that are practical!

I instantly fell in love with this product. It has a sleek modern design that is made of very high quality materials and it comes in many colors. We ordered the light blue and it matches our nursery very well. They also have decals that are available to the outside of the pail to dress it up if you choose.

The Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail is made of steel which is where it differs from most other diaper pails on the market.  Overtime, plastics will absorb smells where as steel does not! Therefore, the Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail DOESN'T STINK! This pail also has tight rubber seals that lock smells in.

My next favorite feature is that it DOES NOT require special bags. Most other diaper pails require you to purchase refill after refill (which are not cheap!) For my Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail I purchase a 45 count box of kitchen trash bags for less than $6! The bags are easy to load and easy to remove!

The Ubbi Steel Diaper Pail also has a child safety lock to keep little ones out and it is also compatible with families that choose to use cloth diapers. Ubbi offers a cloth liner that works perfectly for this lifestyle!

I definitely recommend this product to others!

Buy It: You can purchase the Ubbi Diaper Pail for $79.99.

Belly Bumps & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Similac Simply Smart Bottles

The Similac Simply Smart Bottle is a newer bottle that I have found on the shelves at Walmart, Target & Toys R Us. It is also available to purchase online HERE! ($14.49 for 2 bottles)
I contacted Similac when I first found out about their new product. A member of their media team contacted me in return and sent us a couple of bottles and a formula cap for review. When I received the products in the mail, I was shocked to find a hand written note from a member of the Similac team. I thought this was a very nice touch and very personable!

At first, I had difficulties with the 8oz bottle leaking from around the brim where the nipple sits in the ring. I contacted their customer service with this concern and was walked through a trouble shooting tutorial which fixed the issue! The nipple was not placed all the way down in the ring to provide a tight seal. They were fantastic to work with and were willing to help in any way possible.

The Similac Simply Start Bottle has a rubber mixer on the inside that is for mixing and de-clumping formula. Although I am not using formula, I did try this out and it worked very well. This piece is easy to remove for cleaning and stays in place securely when in use. The bottle is also designed for an easy transition between breast and bottle feeding. This is my favorite feature. The nipple is a natural shape with a wide base. Another one of my favorite features is the dark numbers and lines for measuring. I have noticed that some other bottles can be very hard to read but these numbers are very visible.

The Similac Simply Smart Bottle also features an awesome venting system (Intellivent) that is designed to minimize air intake to help prevent babies from getting gassy and fussy. The bottle uses "Smart Close" technology to help prevent leaks from occurring. the ring twists and clicks in place. There is a blue spot that you will see through the window to let you know it is on right and ready to use.

The Similac Simply Smart Bottle comes with a slow flow nipple for younger babies. As your child grows, Similac offers different nipple sizes to fit your child's needs. I was also sent the On-the-Go powder cap, which is sold separately. It is great for parents who plan on formula feeding. It lets you take just enough formula in a sealed cap that snaps right on to the top of the bottle. I am all about products that make our jobs easier!

Belly Bumps and Babies Review & Giveaway Event: mombo from Comfort & Harmony Nursing Pillow Review!

There are many different options out there when it comes to choosing a nursing pillow. I was given the opportunity to review the mombo from Comfort & Harmony and I love it. It is the first two-sided nursing pillow and it has a vibrating feature that babies love! The Firm2Soft™ two-sided construction is uniquely designed to offer distinct benefits on each side. The firm side offers enhanced back support during nursing and just the right elevation for baby during breastfeeding. The soft side creates the perfect environment for baby to relax and is great for tummy time.

 

Compared to the Boppy nursing pillow, the mombo from Comfort & Harmony pillow is a lot thicker and holds it shape better. I really like that it fits snugly around my torso to better position baby. When using a boppy i feel like I need an additional pillow under it to support baby and after time the Boppy tends to flatten out and lose its shape.

The mombo from Comfort & Harmony nursing pillow is so much more versatile than other nursing pillows out there.  It is thicker and firmer and offers the vibrating feature. The softer side of the Mombo is great for babies to lay or lean on and the other firm side is perfect for positioning baby close to nurse! The vibrating feature is very soothing to babies especially ones that have colic. It is very easy to turn the vibrating feature on and off and is battery operated (C Batteries). It is stored inside a pocket of the pillow and is not easily accessible by kids.

I was sent the mombo from Comfort & Harmony Deluxe pillow with the Taggies cover and we love it! The cover is constructed of high quality material that is ever so soft for baby and has fun taggies all over the edges which most babies LOVE!

 

I defiantly recommend the mombo from Comfort & Harmony to others!

BUY IT: The Comfort & Harmony™ mombo™ Deluxe Pillow in the Taggies™ Fashion is sold exclusively at Babies R Us and retails for $49.99

Belly Bumps & Babies Review & Giveaway Event: Simple Wishes Hands Free Pumping Bra Review!

 I was given the opportunity to review the Simple Wishes hands free pumping bra and it is very handy! I'd say defiantly one of the best hands free bras out there. The quality of this bra doesn't even compare to other hands free bras that I have come across! The best thing about the bra is that it is completely customizable. It only comes is 2 sizes (xs/s/m and l/xl/xxl). The bra comes with a zip-in extender for the front and the back has Velcro at both ends so you can tighten or loosen it as needed for the perfect fit! This is great because it can adjust with you as your size may change during the postpartum period. This bra actually fits up to size 48 J.

Pumping can be very time consuming so having a hands free pumping bra can be exactly what busy moms need! It allows you to pump totally hands free which allows moms to multitask or just relax since you don't constantly have to hold the breast pump in place.

 The bra is made of 83% cotton 17% spandex blend and is made of very high quality material. It is super soft, snug and very comfortable! It can easily be worn by itself or over a nursing bra. The Simple Wishes hands free pumping bra comes with optional straps that can be worn many different ways or can be worn with out the straps. This bra also keeps the breast covered while pumping for added privacy.

I highly recommend this bra to anyone that plans on spending any time pumping!
