Boogie Wipes Review + Giveaway!



I received complimentary products to provide this post. All opinions are my own.



 With as many snotty, crusty noses that we get in this house, I was VERY excited to try Boogies Wipes and as you can tell so was Sweet Pea. Boogie Wipes are saline wipes, designed to gently swipe away all those yucky, gunky boogers. And with school starting, germs and colds are inevitable. 

The Great Grape scent is my favorite! It smells amazing and these wipes do their job. They get rid of all the gunk, not just boogies. They are soft, moist, and durable.

What I LOVE about them is that they are alcohol free and hypoallergenic, AND moisturize with Vitamin E, Chamomile, and Aloe so your little one can be booger free without a red, dry nose to show for it.

FUN STUFF:
You can now buy new 45 count packs of FRESH scent Boogie Wipes at Target stores nationwide!  And 90 count canisters are available now in most major retailers like Target, Wal-mart and Babies-R-Us. And you can look for the newest product – Boogie Blasters – in a 12 count pack of Berry scented wipes, available at Wal-mart and Kroger stores!

And coming soon you will be able to purchase a 10 count pack of Boogie Wipes in Fresh and Grape (great for your diaper bag or back pack), New Boogie Blasters scents, and Simply Unscented canisters!

Also Boogies Wipes has a couple of exciting things going on. Right now they have a Back To School Contest going on at SlaveTheSleeve where your class could win the grand prize of a years supply of Boogie Wipes and an ice cream/pizza party! Also they have Teacher Kits available to purchase at LittleBusyBodies.com.

Where do we use our Boogie Wipes?

 Boogie Wipes was kind enough to offer ONE lucky reader a prize pack of (2) packs of 30-count wipes (fresh, grape, menthol, or unscented– combination varies).

 
So here is what I would like you to do in order to win: Fill out the rafflecopter below. Make sure to visit Boogie Wipes website and leave a comment letting me know which scent you are interested in trying.  This is a required entry and all entries are verified. Contest only open to contestants in US, Canada, and Australia.

Wednesday's Weekly Weigh-In : Week #1




So I thought about doing a weekly post about my weight loss journey but I don't know if I quite feel comfortable yet. I am over 200 pounds and have a ways to go. I want to get to 160 although my 'ideal' weight is suppose to be 130-140 because I am so short. But I was this weight when I graduated high school and would be happy with it. But my main goal is to just get under 200. I don't want all the blood pressure issues I had with my pregnancy with Sweet Pea. 

So I am reaching out for encouragement. Please don't be critical as I am an emotional eater. :/ I'm reaching to find some kind of support network. Below I've added a link up system where others can post their videos, blog posts, pictures, whatever, of your weight this week and how you are progressing. I'm hoping to start recording videos as well by next week. And to also give everyone a more detailed layout of what I'm doing to loss and hopefully I will get to a point where I can encourage others.

How does this sound to everyone else? Completely ridiculous? Completely crazy? Well maybe I need to lose my mind a little because in the current mind-set I am in, I'm over weight, under exercised, and eat too much chocolate.

This please share your story:



$10 Credit from thredUp means FREE kids clothes!

This post contains referral links.

ThredUp has totally changed the way it accepts clothes and the way you buy clothes. You no longer get a random box of clothes that you hope is what the person described it as and it is in good quality. NOW you can send in a bag if you wish (you pay $4.95 but once they get your bag of clothes you get that back). Your bag includes a HUGE bag to put gently used, name brand clothes into and a shipping label that is paid for. You are no longer required to send in clothes in order to buy clothes. If you are just trying to get rid of clothes and not care how much you get for them, then I suggest this type of service for you.

Some Brands Include:
- Carter's
- Babies-R-Us
- Old Navy
- Children's Place
- Gymboree
- Baby Gap & Gap Kids
- Osh Kosh B'Gosh
And Many Others!

They will pay you for every piece of clothing depending on quality and brand.
They have a place on their site that provides a reference
