Smart Wav Baby Sleep System Giveaway

SmartWav Babies is an amazing BabySleep CD System that can get fussy/crying babies to stop crying.  There website says that the DVD's:

Can stop crying instantly
Allows babies to feel safe and lower stress and agitation
Babies fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer
So powerful, it's been selected for clinical study!

My thoughts:
The Cd's are very peaceful to listen to.  They combine soothing instrumental music to very subtle womb sounds.  I had to listen really closely to identify the sounds that baby heard in utero but they were present.   It definitely put me to sleep the first night I listened to it.  Then, I had my friend try it out on her 3 month old baby.  He was waking a lot at night and she was hoping this might help him to stay asleep a bit longer.  She said that he slept for longer stretches at night while listening to the Smart Wav music.  She did say that it was most useful during nap time when he would wake too soon and fuss.  It helped him get into a deeper REM sleep.
I also tried it on my six year old.  We only had it on for a few minutes and she wanted it off.  She said that the music sounded sad.  So, it didn't work on her but seems to be a great soother for  babies and some adults too:)


They also have a MusicMath CD that offers early learning through a breakthrough new "tonal technology" that is clinically observed to promote brain wiring which gives babies an advanced opportunity to understand basic MATH and PHYSICS concepts

Non Toxic Nail Polish and Remover

Living in sunny Hawaii and always wearing "slippahs" (that's flip flops for all the non-locals) I go through a lot of toe nail polish. Four years ago, I learned more about the harmful chemicals in nail polish and tossed most of my rainbow chemical concoctions, to search for safer brands. Now, I am even more careful what I buy because my daughter want to paint her toes too.

I like Karma Organics own line of non-toxic, chemical-free (no toluene, formaldehyde, or DBP), and cruelty-free nail care products. They are a spa located in Ridgewood New Jersey (not too far from where I grew up).

Karma also carries an organic mixture soy Polish Remover that is 100% Biodegradable, soy and corn based, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic, free of Petroleum, and all from crops which support American farming. They are packaged in recyclable glass bottles and comes in lavender, tea tree, or unscented.

This gives me another reason to fly back to the east coast...to go to this spa with my Jersey friends!

Handmade Kaleidoscope Gifts

My daughter just loves looking through kaleidoscopes.  I loved to look at people's faces and at light to see the vibrant geometrical shapes it created when I was young. 

Kaleidoscopes aren't too easy to find in stores but Kaleidoscopes To You has a lot to choose from for people with varying budgets.  I received the Laminated Solid Wood Teleidoscope and was very pleased. 


It has a lovely wood pattern and looks like koa wood.  Actually, my friend asked if it was koa wood from Martin and MacArthur.  It looks perfect on my table and would also make a great gift for father's day, birthday, or pretty much any special occasion. 

My daughter uses it the most of course!

They carry engraved and brass Kaleidoscopes too.

They even have Kaleidoscope jewelry!

The Laminated Solid Wood Teleidoscope sells for $39.99 at KaleidoscopesToYou.com or you can find one that fits your preference. Connect with Kaleidoscopes to You on facebook and twitter.

Fish Oil or Krill Oil?

What is Krill Oil

Krill Oil is the oil harvested from antarctic krill, a shrimp like crustacean that lives deep in the ocean. Scientists and doctors have discovered that ingesting this oil can have amazing affects on your body including a stronger heart, pain-free joints, a better mood, lower cholesterol, easier menstruation and overall better health.

Krill oil is a miraculous discovery from the deep pure waters of Antarctica that literally beats the pants off fish oil.  When tested head to head by an independent laboratory our Krill oil was found to be 54x more powerful in antioxidant activity than fish oil!

Four Great Reasons why Krill Oil beats the pants off fish oil:

More Omega 3s. Krill Oil contains the richest supply of DHA and EPA attached in phospholipid form. Phospholipids are much more absorbable by the body which means... more DHA and EPA at each serving.

Phospholipids. Krill Oil is rich in brain-essential "good fats" found in phospholipid form – the same as the human body which means there are no conversions or extra work the body needs to do. This makes absorption faster, easier and more effective. You won't get fish burps, upset stomach or unpleasant side effects from Krill Oil.

Antioxidant power. Krill Oil contains astaxanthin, the carotenoid that gives shrimp, krill, lobster and other foods their pink color. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant. Everest Nutrition Krill Oil has an ORAC value of 431 – 54X more antioxidant power than fish oil.

Purity. Krill are at the bottom of the food chain. They are virtually free of toxins, metals and other contaminants. Even better, Everest Nutrition Krill Oil is harvested and collected in its natural environment – the pristine waters of Antarctica!

Is Krill Oil safe?

Krill Oil is safe for almost everyone. If you are pregnant or are allergic to shellfish or seafood we recommend speaking to your doctor before taking Krill Oil.

My thoughts: I have taken Krill oil for a few weeks and haven't had any negative side effects.  I have heard so many good things about Krill oil and it has now replaced my use of fish oil.

The brand that I have been trying is from Everest Nutrition
