recycled things can be beautiful too...

IT'S HERE.. IT'S HERE!!

My Maggie bag!!!

I know you are wondering what I a Maggie Bag is... well let me tell you.. just ready for this...

it is a purse made from...recycled seat belts... yes, seat belts! Okay so You might not have the best image in your head right now, but it is great!

I got this one: In dark gray


It is stylist and eco-friendly.. what could be better?? One of the best things about this bag is that it is machine washable, yes lady.. you can put it in the washer and it will ruin it! I love that because you know if you use a bag enough it will get gross, but you don't have to worry about that anymore! It has a lifetime warranty as they say..its make from something that has a life time warranty and save your life so it makes sense for the bag to have one as well...

They made bigger or small totes, clutches, diaper bags, etc.. with simple colors, bright colors and even multi-colored! So there is something for everyone. You can feel good about this purchase on so many levels...you should totally check the website out... from fashionista to mommy to be... you will fall in love with these.

I just be prepared to get stopped all the time for questions about your bag... no one will ever guess that its seat belts.. and you will be that girl that has the thing that everyone wants. You can show people that being green doesn't have to be dull!

I think I found what I am going to get my sister and mom for Christmas.

Here's the website: give it a chance!!! ::Maggie Bags::

Purity


These are some of my favorite products...ever!

My Favorite things: 100% Pure



I have always been into recycling and trying t be as green as possible. When I got pregnant with Liam, I decided that I wanted to give him the safest and cleanest and natural start in this world. I started researching diapers, lotions, bath things, clothes, food..etc.

Recently, I started to try to do whats best for my mind and body. I have had problems for years with my skin and I have tried many different things and they have worked for awhile then my skin got used to them. I decided to go 100 percent natural with nothing much things you can basically eat to see if that would help. I completely fell in love with all these products!

I have the foundation and make up. Also, I use the foaming face wash and face lotions. They are incredibly. One thing that I can not rave about enough is the the under eye cream.

They also have baby products, which excites me and I hope other mommies out there.

The colors of the make up are make of berries and natural colors...if you are looking for a extreme look, these aren't for you but if you are looking for being natural and everyone turns their head and wonders " wow, wonder what she uses" this is my make up line for you!!

Then you are picking make up this of this phase I say to myself and I have said earlier.

If you can eat it, why put it on your face?...

Since using these products my skin has been amazing and has felt amazing. i don't even have to wash my face twice a day if I am feeling lazy.

Next time you are in the market for make up, lotions, shampoos.. please check this out. They are a little pricey.. but they are worth the money by far.

Now, that I have got have tried and loved these products.. I have been on the kick to find everything as natural as possible so look for blogs on other brands I find and love!




Check. it. out :)

My Cloth Diaper Adventure



When I first got pregnant, D had suggested maybe we should use cloth diapers...now I head about cloth diapers.. my mom used them...but of course the first thing that came to my mind was messy and too much of a pain in the butt! But after one of my good friends told me about her G Diapers and I looked them up.. i fell in love with the look of them and the colors. It looked so easy to change and switch out. Plus the washing and drying were not difficult. So for months i used the diapers in every color they had for boys and they have this about flush able liner then you use instead of the cloth liner. It was great for when we would go out. You can throw it away in the trash can because it is you can flush it down the toilet... how cool and " green" is that!! We started with the medium size but he grew out of it even though he wasn't at the max weight. So we moved to larger one, he was in them for awhile until it just seemed like it was getting too tight on him tummy. Plus the Velcro of the diapers after washing so many times were getting gross and not sticking anymore. So, I decided to go no the hunt for another cover that I could still use the flush able liners and the cloth ones....


I decided the flip diaper system! Super cute cutes and SNAPS!! love the snaps!! the liners I have already fit in there so I only had to buy the covers...now my problems with these are that my little guy moves around o much on the changing table these days.. he thinks he such a big boy that he doesn't need to lay down to get changed.. so the time it takes to snap them, is too long and is frustrating for him and me to get the diaper on. Now the size of these are changeable as you can see and I think that's great, he still has room and more snaps to go until hes maxed them out. Now these and my cloth liners aren't that best together because the liners are a little smaller and doesn't seem to hold as much. for example last night before dinner i put him in a cloth liner and the dark blue cover an hour into dinner he was soaking wet..he was so uncomfortable and I don't like have to change his clothes and the diaper all the time while I am out. These work great with the flush able liners for GDaiper and I ill continue to you these while out but I wanted something more for at home and if need going out so....
o
So Last night on my one of the favorite mommy buying websites...I found these! They are an all in one ( AIO) now I have been turned off to AIO ones becauese of the washing and drying instructions that seem to want you wash in hot and cold and I just don't have the time for that, but these are so awesome because you just need to wash and dry a few times before use and then guess what!!!! the liner SNAPS in!! so it doesn't move...that's to me is worth it. It also comes with an extra liner for more absorbency. Also, you can size these to fit your baby and they have a velcroish fastener too, which i think its better then Velcro and close to what you would find with huggies disposables. You can also get these with all snaps as well...I can't wait to try these and see how they work. The liner inside is cotton/hemp.. also I enjoy that they in cute colors and patterns! I will let you know how this adventure plays out!!

I hope this review of cloth diapers helps you a little bit.
I am hoping to convert others to use cloth diapers...
