A new charity called the “Believe in Yourself Project” (www.believeinyourself.org) is helping to replace the poor body image that afflicts many girls and women. This image is heightened by what the traditional fashion industry deems as beautiful: Women are expected to appear a certain way and live up to a manufactured and unrealistic notion of what beauty is. At the same time, strained finances can prevent many girls from keeping up with what’s trending or cool, making them feel isolated among their friends for not being able to afford clothing that is deemed as “in” socially. In an attempt to promote a positive body image, founder of online fashion site http://www.ustrendy.com has created the ” Believe in Yourself Project (www.BelieveinYourself.org) Over the past few years, Sisakhti has grown increasingly concerned with the cyber bullying and body shaming that he has seen online. At the same time, he realized the enormous social pressure that many young girls feel to try to be hip and socially cool by wearing clothing that is seen as stylish. Many girls are unable to afford these fashions and can often feel ashamed socially. These observations inspired him to launch the Believe in Yourself Project, a foundation…

Lunch Time Made Easy The brands, that were sent to me, are all great.  I’ve never been so happy to receive a package, for my 6 year old son, as I was to receive this package.  School hasn’t quite started yet, but I know he loves these snacks now, so I’ll be picking them up, when we go to the grocery store. Welch’s new Fruit Rolls went over very well, with Jacob.  He loves anything Welch’s so when I offered him a fruit roll, he immediately took it.  He said, “Mommy, this is so good”.  So, I will be putting one of these Fruit Rolls in his lunch every day. Fruit is the first ingredient in these Fruit Rolls.  That’s a huge thing with us.  We want Jacob to eat healthy, being that he has a couple heart issues.   Go Organically has been a favorite of Jacob’s for a while.  These fruit snacks are delicious.  The best part, you can get a coupon from their site.  Your littles will love Go Organically, as much as my Jacob does.  He always asks for them, by name. Details of Go Organically can be found on the right side of their page,…

I love GourmetGiftBaskets.com.  I was able to find my 6 year old, son, a great back to school gift, for First Grade.  He keeps saying “I’m not going back to school until I’m 14!”  But, we just keep telling him it doesn’t work that way.  So, I came across the cutest Back To School Basket, through GourmetGiftBaskets.com, that I just had to get him.  Even though school doesn’t start here, until August 28, I let him open it, but told him that he has to go back to school in order to be allowed to open it. When he saw the Teddy Bear, in the Back To School Bear Hug Care Package,  he got an immediate smile on his face.  He fell in love.  If there was a way that I could send the teddy bear to school, without the other kids picking on him, I would.  It would probably ease the first day jitters.  However, I take him back and forth, so I can put it in the car, and have it in his car seat when he gets picked up.  He also enjoyed all the treats, in the basket, and even shared some with us. There was a lot in…

I love Legacy Shave Evolution Brush.  I put it on my shave cream can, as soon as I received it.  It gets the cream all up and where it needs to be.  It takes shaving to a different level.  It’s the ultimate shaving tool.  I use it for my legs every time I shave. The Legacy Shave Evolution Brush will bring you close shaves for a long time.  It makes shaving so much smoother.  The shaving cream really gets close to your skin, and there’s no mess all over your hands.  I find this amazing.  I have always hated shaving, but this makes the whole process so much more worth while. The LEGACY SHAVE EVOLUTION BRUSH offers “The Ultimate Shaving Experience” by stimulating and lifting the hair follicles allowing the users an enhanced experience with the cleanest, closest shave possible. It also reduces the amount of shaving cream or gel used, saving the users money. Most important, it makes shaving fun again. It is the first universal brush attachment for both foam and gel shaving cream cans. It gives a more elegant shaving experience: hands free of foam or gel. There are a lot of different colors you can order Legacy Shave Evolution Brush…

Dish Fish is amazing.  I love the technology.  The sponge stays cleaner longer, and I don’t have to worry about built up bacteria. From heavy duty tasks like pots & pans to delicate surfaces like glass & stove tops, there is a DishFish for you. The Powercell Technology in the Dish Fish Scrubber is everlasting.  But, my favorite part is how it stands up, so it can dry more properly.  You can clean cutlery, thanks to the gills, without having to worry about cutting yourself.  I love how my spouse cleaned the grill with it, brought it in, rinsed it, and Dish Fish was as good as new.  You couldn’t even tell he cleaned a greasy surface. My Dish Fish Scrubber is going on 3 weeks old, and still looks like it was purchased yesterday. Then, there’s the Dish Fish Dual.  It’s also amazing.  Dual sided scrubber & sponge for the toughest messes.  With the shape of the Dish Fish, you can put his front end in first, and get into deep spots.  Making it so every inch of your dishes, and pots, are clean.  The Dish Fish Dual is fabulous at cleaning up wet messes.  It soaks up into…

I love Melitta!  It’s the best for getting coffee, and for their coffee makers.  I recently got to try the 1 cup Pour Over Coffee Brew Cone & Travel Mug Set.  It’s so great.  It’s so easy to make my coffee, and fast working.  It’s great to have added this product to my cabinet.  It’s easy to get a cup of Joe in the A.M. now.

I love John Paul Pet products.  I recently tried the Lavender Mint line.  My dog smells like a million bucks.  This stuff is so great smelling, and it got her so clean.  We usually take Jade to the Pet Store to get a bath, but when I received this line, I had to try it on her, for myself.  She looks so clean, and smells so good.  Better than the groomer could’ve done. The Lavender Mint Shampoo reduces skin irritation, while it cleanses, calms, and sooths your pet. How it works: Tea Tree leaf oil along with Lavender and Mint extracts, combine to soothe skin irritation allowing hot spots to heal. The Lavender Mint Detangling Spray made Jade so easy to brush.  She has clumps of hair still coming out, so she needed brushed.  This formula made it where she didn’t yelp, while being groomed, by me. The cats even loved the spray, and you know, normally cats don’t like being sprayed.  I did get them to purr, then sprayed them.  Leaving them smelling fresh, and clean.  I love the smell of Lavender Mint.  My entire house smells good. How it works: Thirteen Conditioning Agents including Oatmeal, Chamomile, Sweet Almond Oil,…
