Vedette Shapewear- Review, Discount and Giveaway (5 winners)

Women's bodies change through the years, and pregnancy can be tough on us all. Finding the time to feed, wash, teach, play with our kids everyday is tough... through exercising in the mix and you may have better luck finding more hours in the day! I work out all the time, and although my workouts include swimming, holding a 20 pound baby, riding bikes, running after my 4 year old, etc. versus actual workouts, I still am not happy with my post-pregnancy body quite yet. (hey, pregnancy is tough on us hot chicks! ha!) I recently found an amazing line of Shapewear that is unlike anything I have ever seen, and it is perfect for this time of my life, and I personally promise, that you will love it too! Vedette is where it's at!

Vedette Shapewear was created by Mr.Vargas, who began his undergarments with latex. Later, he found other wonderful materials, such as lycra, cotton, rods and other high quality materials to add in and create the perfect blend! The finished product? Compression garments, such as bodysuits and shapers that are comfortable, easy to wear and honestly, gorgeous! Yes, this shapewear is great looking- with lace and super attractive! Unlike other shapewear that just squeezes you, makes you feel miserable, and flat, Vedette Shapewear enhances your womanly curves and works with what you already got going on! Amen, ladies, because I know I got some curves going on! :)

My favorite thing about Vedette Shapewear is they have everyone covered! Seriously, on their website, you can search by your "problem area." I think this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen on a site before, and I am so thrilled to have the chance to review an item as well! I was sent the Roselle, a full body shaper. I was not prepared for the quality from Vedette. The material reminded me of an old school corset style. This material is called advance Hevea, or what I call a slice of heaven!  By that, I mean that the material was incredible and high quality! I have yet to see anything like this before!  However, I am positive this is much more comfortable!

The design is wonderful, with powernet material and latex on front panels to smooth and slim from waist, around back and throughout thighs. Shapes your booty like nothing I have ever seen! (I ain't lying! This is incredible! ha!) Removable or adjustable straps, hook and eye gusset panty this is comfortable and will enhance your natural curves! I look almost as great as I did before my second pregnancy! Think that is it? No! This is great looking too! On the bottom, you will find lace that completes the ensemble!

The Vedette site is easy to use, and navigate. You can search by control, (lite, medium, dual, firm) category, size, color or problem area. If you still need help, you can have the help of online customer service during business hours. Even better? There is a huge sale going on, so you will find deep discounts!

-My Thoughts-

 Vedette is so very generous- they are offering all my readers a $5 gift card for all of those that enter this giveaway! Just send them a message with "One Frugal Lady" before making a purchase. Works on anything, and is good until 6/15!

Vedette Shapewear offers incredible quality, an intensive line of undergarmets for every shape and size!

Like I have said, these are perfect for times in our lives when we need a little help, like after having a baby!

You can find shapewear designed for your problem area, slim specific targets or even lift your tooshie!

Huge sale going on..... need I say more??

Pediped Originals- Review & Giveaway

My little one is 6 months old, and although he is of course not walking, I totally have him wearing some of the cutest baby shoes. EVER. Being cute is just the icing on the cake.. I want a shoe that is great quality, comfortable, soft-soled and promote healthy foot development! The first name that comes to mind when I think of shoes like these are Pediped. If you are a parent, chances are you have heard of this brand before! Pediped carries a huge range of great shoes from newborn up to 7 year olds! Seriously cute, seriously awesome!

Last week I told you about the Memorial Day promotion sponsored by Pediped and Operation Homefront. In case you missed it, from May 24th until Midnight Memorial Day (31st) Pediped Footwear will be offering the "buy a pair to give a pair" promotion to benefit Operation Homefront! Operation Homefront will then distribute these shoes directly to families of our service members and/or wounded warriors! Sweeeeeet....

Pediped is famous for several reasons, and it ain't just luck! Pediped shoes have been officially recognized by the American Podiatric Medical Association as being beneficial for children's growing feet! That is crazy! Even more crazy?? There are over 120 cute styles to choose from- talk about feel good shopping therapy!

I knew that good shoes help maintain good feet... but I learned quite a few facts from the Pediped website that I might share with you...

"The critical development years happen from infancy and into the toddler years.

The bones in a baby’s foot are made of cartilage, the same flexible substance you find in your ears and nose.

A shoe that is too rigid or too tight can change the shape of your child’s foot.

Around 70% of foot problems come from wearing the wrong footwear or ill-fitting shoes.

A child’s feet develop until he or she is about 18 years old.

A child’s feet grow in spurts and often require new shoes every 3 to 4 months."

At Pediped, they believe that barefoot walking is best. Which is why their shoes are soft soled and flexible. The breathable upper portions and adjustable closures insure a proper and snug fit. The material is a light leather, which is perfect for a breathable, comfortable, durable, great fit. The roomy box toe shape provides plenty of wiggle room for little toes as well!

We were sent the Sydney- multi navy Original Pedipeds for review. These are absolutely precious! I have never really been a fan of sandals for boys, um, "man-dals," but these are very masculine and I simply love them! My son loves them too, and doesn't pull at them like he does with other shoes... they are that light and comfy!

The Sydney shoes are super breathable, light weight and are great for summer! All leather, velcro closure, and are oh-so-easy to take on and off! Although I personally think these colors are perfect, they are also available in chocolate brown as well!

Of course the shoes went straight for his mouth... so thank God they are made of leather, and not some synthetic material! As you can see, they arrived in a super cute box as well! This serves as a nifty place to store the shoes when not wearing... I mean, we don't have a mini closet for little man's shoes or anything! ha~!

Bottoms say Pediped, but are imprinted so no worries about babies choking on anything. These shoes are hand sewn too! You can't find many companies that still offer that! These particular shoes sell for $32, and are well worth it! 4 Available sizes- ( XS- L) from newborn to 24 months.

-My Thoughts-

Pediped makes wonderful shoes.

 My 4 year old owns a pair, and they have held up very nicely as well. The Original Line is just as impressive! Just because babies can't walk, Pediped has continued with the high quality and great shoes!

I told you the selection was incredible- literally hundreds of shoes ranging for ages newborn to 7! (yeah, they are all cute!)

Pediped offers a quick ship guarantee- if you order by 2 p.m. (PST) your order will go out that same day!

You can also browse hair clips, tights and jewelry on the site... psst.. plus a sale section, too!

SwimSpot Review & $50 Giveaway!

I love warm weather, as I am a summer child! All my life, I have loved the outdoors, swimming and everything to do with sun and water! Unfortunately, this year has been difficult for me to transition.. as you know, I just recently had a baby, and have been struggling to get rid of the baby weight this time around. Searching for a swimsuit this year has been tough. With that said, whether I am happy with my weight or not, I have never attempted to purchase any type of swimwear online out of fear... how would you know which style, size, shape, texture, etc.... Geez. SwimSpot.com has thought of these, and is here to help you find your perfect items!

What really sets SwimSpot.com apart from other online shops are a few things. The Bikini Builder Application and Fit Specialist Program, as well as the intensive selection of more than a dozen well-known brands of swimwear!

Unlike other shopping sites, where you may be sketchy about how something may look on, mix-matched or combined, Swim Spot has a Bikini Builder! The Bikini Builder is unlike anything I have ever seen on any shopping website, and that is because Swim Spot is the only company to have this! This super smart and handy tool can create any look you want, and my favorite feature is that you can click on different brands, and it will even tell you how many tops, bottoms and combinations of all of those there are!

The Fit Specialist Program is a tool that helps you pick the perfect suit for your body type. (..finally, a company that understands!) You can find suggestions by body type, such as apple, pear athletic, petite, and so forth. If you are still having questions, Swim Spot is fully ready by e-mail, by phone and also offer a full concierge service! WOW!

I had the opportunity to review an item from Swim Spot, and I really wanted a rash guard. I found several to chose from and I finally decided on the Puerto Rico Rashgurard by Hurley. This is something I have never tried before, but I love the style and that it would keep more sun off of me as well. This can be used as a cover-up or worn alone.

My order arrived very quickly, and I was thrilled with the quality of this rashguard! Great quality, cute, practical and I won't have to worry about spilling out while playing with the kids in the pool! ha.

Although we have only been swimming once so far this year, I can tell that this rash guard will be perfect for long summer days, and I can rest assured that I will be protected more from the sun that with a skimpy top and much more comfortable!

-My Thoughts-

All in all, I am thrilled with SwimSpot.com!

Swim Spot offers great quality, top brands and huge selection. This saves you time and money! Very FRUGAL! Even better- You get free shipping, returns and exchanges with every purchase!

The selection of women's swimwear in insane, you will find everything you are looking for!

Easy to navigate site. Search by designer, style, body type, size, price, color, trends, and more!

This is the only site that has has a bikini builder and offers fit specialist!

You can sign up to be a SwimSpot VIP and receive updates, and deals. Upon sign-up, you receive a $25 coupon!

One reader will win a $50 Gift Card to SwimSpot.com!

Boon Squirt & Dispensing Spoon - Review & Giveaway

Surely you have heard of the Boon brand before. You would have to be living under a rock to not have... but if not, Boon is a company that carries tons of products, such as highchairs, feeding and bath accessories, storage solutions and the infamous frog pod that began it all! Every product that Boon carries is practical, great quality and affordable. Once you start using something from them, you won't ever want to go back! Finding genius solutions like this is what Boon is all about! .. and us moms are all about finding these! ha!

I have had the pleasure in featuring the Frog Pod some time back here on One Frugal Lady, last July.. and it is still rockin'! It looks brand new and gets a ton of use! That describes exactly what Boon's mission is! To provide us with innovative gear, that meets high quality standards and also steps out on a modern design level! With a high commitment to quality safety, you can rest assured!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Boon again, and this time, I was sent the Squirt and the new Dispensing Spoons! My little man, who isn't so little anymore... *sigh* ... just began incorporating foods into his diet. I know he is ready and I am ready to get more sleep! This is great and all, but adding in a meal can be tricky for someone on the go! You have to pack food, spoons, bowls, containers, wipes, bibs... geez...

These two products solve all of these issues, and are pure genius.

The Boon Squirt Baby Food Dispensing Spoon is exactly what is sounds like. This gadget takes everything away that is stressful, breakable and a hassle.. combines it into one thing. Boom! You have your sanity! Seriously simple, convenient, practical and one of those "Man, this makes life easier" gadgets!

-The Squirt is a great size- 2" x 7.2" x 2"-

-Large easy-to-clean bulb holds up to 3 oz. of baby food-

 

-Dispenses baby food one bite at a time-

-Convenient one-handed feeding-

-Includes matching cap for storage-

 -Great for on-the-go-

-Recommended age: 4+ months-

The second thing I want to tell you about are the new Dispensing Spoons! Made especially for Plum Organics, these are a genius solution to make those little packets even better! The Dispensing Spoons carry the same idea as the Squirt, except these attach directly to the package! The best on the go spoon just married the best organic baby food! The result? Simplicity... which equals happy ME! .. and you, of course!  ha.

-Convenient one-handed feeding perfect for on-the-go-

-Dimensions: 5" x 2.5" x 1"-

-Fits any Plum Organics JUST fruit and Second Blends baby food pouches-

-Recommended ages: 6+ months-

-My Thoughts-

Both these products are perfect for on the go or even at home, for a mess-free, no-worry feeding!

Both products are top rack dishwasher safe! However, I have to say that the Squirt is so simple to clean out with a bottle brush!

Both are BPA-free, Phthalate-free and PVC-free.

Affordable. The Squirt is only $9.99 and the Dispensing Spoons are $4.99!

Although the Dispensing Spoons are only available in a standard color pack- purple and green, the Squirt is available in 6 colors. Orange, Pink, Blue, Grape, Kiwi and Cherry.

Boon products are sold at several stores nationwide as well as online!

-Win It-

One reader will win a Boon Squirt in their choice of color!

Mandatory Entry- Visit Boon, and tell me which color Squirt you want to win!

Spin N Stor- A Giveaway

Spin' N Stor

I told you a few days ago about a genius product that I seriously cannot get enough of... the Spin'N Stor!  I am still using this nifty little thing like crazy and I am still amazed by the usefulness, effectiveness and my facination with it! Ha! Yes, I am still thrilled out of my mind by this thing!!

The Spin'N Stor is basically a space saving salad spinner. However, I have to tell you that I personally believe that this works better! My salad spinner does not have the same effect that this "magic baggie" does! Lettuce is more crisp, and for longer this way! With a built in water resevoir, this is seriously one of the most genius things I have come across!

Super simple to use:

Wash lettuce (or any produce you desire) as you normally would and toss into Spin'N Stor bag.

Secure bag and spin about 10 times. Go ahead, have fun with it!

Once you are done spinning, water will drain to resevoir that is at bottom of bag. You just pour this out, as there is also a drain on the side of the bag! (genius...)

Use enclosed tie to secure top, fluff and store in your fridge!

-My Thoughts-

As you know from my full review here, I LOVE the Spin'N Stor!

Simple, affordable, eco-friendly, useful and space saving!

This is actually two products in one- a salad spinner and a storage bag!

Only $11.75 for 12 reusable bags!!

When not in use easily folds up flat for simple storage!

-Win It-

One reader will win a sampler from Spin'N Stor!

Mandatory Entry-

Tell me who you want to win this for!

Luv That Tray! The ONLY placemat with raised sides- a Review

I know what they all say, "Don't cry over spilled milk..." I totally do! In fact, if you know me at all, you would know that I can't stand a big mess. I love things to be in their place, put up nicely and in order. Unfortunately, life interferes, and with kids, my clean life can be really messy! My daughter, who is 4, spends a ton of time at the kitchen table. Drawing, playing with dough, eating, painting, helping with baking, and so much more. All these things are important things for my children to do, but they can wreck havoc on my table! Placemats can be typically found in my kitchen, but until recently, I have never seen on quite like the ones offered by Luv That Tray!

Luv That Tray is a product offered by the Argee Corp, and just like the Spin'N Store, it is genius, practical and affordable! The difference between regular placemats and this one is mainly the raised sides. If liquid is spilled on a normal placemat it will become soaked, and run all over everything else. The Luv That Tray will keep all that liquid contained. Even better? ... with one quick motion, this placemat forms a funnel! Just hold over trash can or sink fold, and everything can easily be poured out!

The next best thing I found is that Luv That Tray is dishwasher safe! I love that you can just pop these in the dishwasher- I mean, who wouldn't??

Measuring at 18" by 13" tall, these are the perfect size for countertops, tables, and laps! My daughter has used her Luv That Trays for about 2 weeks now for eating, playing with playdoh, painting, and crafts!

-My Thoughts-

At first, I thought these were flimsy and would not hold up well. I was wrong. We have used these every single day since we have received them, and they are practical, useful and have held up wonderfully!

Luv That Tray are sold in 4 packs, with the colors blue, red, green and yellow.

At only $19.99/ 4 pack (amazon) these are a very FRUGAL way to keep your home clean. (and your sanity!)


Check out Luv That Tray online and all the other useful items from Argee Corporation!

Dishwasher safe, easy form tunnel, durable plastic and about a million uses!
