Livie and Luca Review Spring is HERE!!


Livie And Luca baby and toddler shoe creations "incorporate brightly colored leathers, bold designs and whimsical modern touches that capture the playful essence of childhood.
Their comfortable shoe construction allows beginning walkers, toddlers and preschoolers to navigate playgrounds, city streets and dirt pathways with style and ease"
Livie and Luca were super nice and sent Emma the cutest Wood Land Boots for her to review last fall. These are her very first pair of "boots"and I have to admit they are softer than you could imagine for a little boot.  Liking my shoes so much and since my little darling is growing like a weed I was thrilled when Livie and Luca sent us the Pink Fun Dots for Review. The new Line is super and with spring just around the corner what better timing.  The Velcro closure makes for no fuss on and off, Another bonus as Emma does not like to sit still for very long.


 About this wonderful Company!
"As new mothers, the three of us discovered that there was a need for modern and funky shoes for babies and toddlers that were also lightweight, soft, super flexible and affordable. The more we spoke with other moms like us, the more we realized we weren’t alone in our search. We soon came to the realization that the only way to find these shoes was to create our own company and fill the niche ourselves. So while our children slept and between feedings and diaper changes we began a year of research that included many sleepless nights, lots of support from our husbands and plenty of inspiration from the adventurous lives we share with our children. Finally, in May 2005 Livie & Luca was born and take it from us there was no epidural involved!
They are passionate about their baby and toddler shoes and all of their possibilities.  At Livie and Luca they truly believe that their baby and toddler shoes are capable of spreading a little joy while providing little citizens with a comfortable and adorable shoe!  I have to agree totally. You simply smile the minute you log on to their website or open the wonderful enviromentally friendly bag your shoes came in.
 Pink Fun Dots!!
 1-2-3 dots and a whole lot of hearts are the combination that makes our Pink Fun Dots whimsical and sweet. 
They guarantee that they will melt a few hearts!  and they/she  Does:)
Their flexible sole brings comfort to each step and the Velcro closure makes for no fuss on and off. 
They are perfect for medium to wide feet. 
Available in whole sizes 4 through 12. 
For sizing, use our size chart for smaller sizes,
larger sizes (10-12) run ½ to a full size small.
Livie and Luca baby and toddler shoes are specially made by hand using the remains of high quality leather that would otherwise be discarded. Each shoe is marked by its maker, this can be found under the strap of each pair of shoe made making Livie and Luca Shoes as unique as the child who wears them.
Livie & Luca baby and toddler shoe creations incorporate brightly colored leathers, bold designs and whimsical modern touches that capture the playful essence of childhood. Their comfortable shoe construction allows beginning walkers, toddlers and preschoolers to navigate playgrounds, city streets and dirt pathways with style and ease.

Dyson Animal DC 25 Review and Giveaway - Ends May 18, 2010




You know the feeling when some everyday product lets you down. 'I could have designed this better myself', you think. But how many of us turn our thoughts into actions?
James Dyson does. He is a man who likes to make things work better. With his research team he has developed products that have achieved sales of over $6 billion worldwide.
I have this feeling each and everytime I try and tackle my house cleaning. Is there an easier way of seriously doing this??? With 4 kids , 1 dog, a snake and alot of hussle and bussle going on my house can really take a beating. I have tried many vacuums and througout my marriage of 12 yrs I have only owned the kinds that require bag filters and I honestly gave up and threw it out finally when it died years ago. I figured I would rather sweep until I could afford a different one. Well times up and Its time for mom to get a handle on the floors and to my rescue comes Dyson DC 25 Animal.  The sweeping is over in this house..... hey its good exercise but come on now!!!!!
With our Beloved Family Member for whom we love!
to hard wood floors with big grooves
to the unbelievable spots cobwebs find a home
 My Family was ohhhh sooo happy to have this opportunity to
 Dyson DC25 Animal is a Dyson Ball™ upright for homes with pets!! And it Rides on a ball for greater manoeuvrability

The Dyson Animal DC25 Comes with all the Accessories you need to get 
you started!! 
What's in the box?
Operations manual
Quick start guide
Warranty information
Product registration card

Stiff bristle brushStiff Bristle Brush-Stiff bristles remove ground-in and stubborn dirt. Quickly attaches to the hose or wand. Not recommended for use on delicate flooring, rugs or carpets.

At Dyson they work towards one idea: that everyday objects can be made to work better. Its an obsession. The results from development testing are used to improve the design of the next generation of Dyson machines.

Every cleaner is subjected to a battery of endurance tests to ensure that its as durable as a Dyson should be. At their test facility in Wiltshire, Dysons are pushed, pulled, dropped, frozen, baked and shaken.
 The Dyson digital motor works differently.

In 1978, James Dyson noticed how the air filter in the Ballbarrow spray-finishing room was constantly clogging with powder particles (just like a vacuum cleaner bag clogs with dust). So he designed and built an industrial cyclone tower, which removed the powder particles by exerting centrifugal forces greater than 100,000 times those of gravity. Could the same principle work in a vacuum cleaner? James Dyson set to work. 5 years and 5,127 prototypes later, the world's first bagless vacuum cleaner from Dyson
Controlled by microchip it spins at 98,000 rpm – five-times faster than a Formula 1 car engine. Because of its speed, the digital motor is half the size and half the weight of conventional motors. With no brushes or fixed magnets, it doesn’t emit carbon either.
 Why is a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner Different?
Root Cyclone Technology-Dyson uses centricular forces to spin dust out of the air and straight into the bin. No Bag, No clogging, No Loss of suction.
Ball Technology is brilliant, upright vacuum cleaners have always moved about on four fixed wheels until now. 
The Dyson Digital Motor is smaller, faster, more energy efficient and more powerful than conventional motors.  
Air Muscle- Dysons most advanced cleaner head technology. Engineered to pick up more dirt. Gotta love this one!! 
Testing- Testing is a lengthy interactive process but on that results in continual improvement.

The Service is wonderful and how can you beat that. I had to call a few days in as I had some questions. Well I could not figure out something and was a bit stumped.  This is a very simply made Vacuum but I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing. So I called up during their hours and all my questions were answered my  problem was solved by a nice gentlman from the company. I was happy that he knew right away the problem and answered all my questions. Another wonderful service you received when you buy a dyson. 
 The total performace is unbelievable. I have all variety of floors in my home from weird floors with valleys to carpets and old hardwoods. The dyson easily glided over all of them and cleaned up everything from pine needles to dog hair. It leaves my whole house smelling fantastic. Dyson uprights are certified asthma friendly according to the Asthma Society of Canada!! The Air expelled from a dyson vacuum cleaner is up to 150 times less bacteria and mold than the air you breath. With lifetime HEPA and washable filters, and no bags to buy I know this is a vacuum so worth bragging about to everyone!!

All Dyson upright and canister vacuums have:
No loss of suction
Root Cyclone™ technology means dyson vacuums don’t lose suction power as you clean.
No extra costs
All Dyson upright and canister vacuums are bagless, so there are no costly bags to replace. They also come with washable filters and free shipping.
5 year warranty
Parts and labour are covered for 5 years.

 Ecoleeko makes eco friendly hand made plush dolls, bath mittens and soft baby rattles from natural and organic fabrics. Ecoleeko is proud to offer child and baby friendly toys and dolls made from all natural fillings, thread, yarn and fabric.

After graduating with a BS in Textile Design , she wanted to work with sustainable fabric materials, at that time it mostly was hemp and organic cotton. The idea kinda fizzled in the midst of real life and work. She has now found herself in an opportunity where she can devote time, creativity and passion to create things that are fun and ecofriendly. Over the years, she started making OOAK artdolls and on unsolicited advice from her husband, he told her to go with what she knew and loved to do, make dolls of all kinds.
Merging of 2 passions into one!

Ecoleeko is made from Eco friendly materials such as Organic cotton blends and renewable bamboo fleece. Hand dyed and printed and sewn with only organic cotton thread. Filled with all Natural kapok fiber, no poly anything!

Pawparazzi Pets Review and Giveaway - Ends April 5, 2010

Noodle Head Inc. (parent of Pawparazzi) is dedicated to creating toys that encourage imagination, creativity and fun! Pawparazzi Pets inspire girls’ creativity and self expression and spark their flair for fashion and glamour!  Pawparazzi Pets are the celebrities that we wish all celebrities could be. They have talent and class, they approach the world with open hearts, and they support causes that make their world better. And, they’re not just friends, they’re fashion accessories!
 Pawparazzi Pets is intended – as a fun and funny caricature of celebrity. It's about the fun of stardom without the baggage. With little pets as our celebrities we don’t fret about girls' self-image or mimicking the less desired traits of pop-culture idols. Though I admit I've seen my daughter pretend to wag her tail – so I may be wrong about this!
Girls can engage with Pawparazzi on many levels: They can READ about their pets in Pawparazzi Magazine and on their website. Their fashion DNA will be stimulated with trendy bags, glitzy jewelry, collectible charms and fabulous fashions. Their Creativity and Imagination will flourish as they explore the exciting world of these tiny superstar pets and share the experience with their friends!
They are  currently working to create Planet Pawparazzi™ an online virtual world where little pets jet set the globe doing all of the exciting things that real celebrities do (concerts, fashion, movies, news reporting, book tours…). It’s a fun, exciting, and humorous place where kids will be entertained, learn, and interact with the celebrity pets they already love in a shared, safe, virtual world environment. 
Many people contributed to the creation of Pawparazzi.  At Noodle Head, they have all become fashion designers, jewelry designers, and magazine publishers in addition to their day jobs. In the process they rediscovered the fun of creative play!
 Products:Pawparazzi Pets: Daisy, Misty, Lexi, Roxy, Toby and Indy Sets with couture pet-carrier purses, Fuzzy Blankets for afternoon naps, Dazzling Celebrity Note Pads, Pawparazzi Magazine and a Pop-Out Trading Card with fun pet facts!
Accessories: Fluffy Pet Beds and Fabulous Dress Up Sets.
Vacation Destination: Hotel Pawparazzi playset and carrying case.

 Our family was very fortunate and we were sent the Toby Pawparazzi Set!! for Review. To go with this set we also recieved a Day at the Spa outfit and Pawparazzi Pet Bed.
  Emma really really loves Toby the Cat a lot:) She is not old enough yet to dress her Cat up but She really has alot of fun toting her purse around. {I did remove his collar, as it was small} He has seen the bath tub and back and I am happy to say dries very well. 
Toby shows cat-skills in New York Art Gallery
Toby debuted his latest art exhibition titled, "6 Lives So Far – A Retrospective" in New York this week. Opening to rave reviews, art critics are calling his collection the "Cat’s Meow".
Pink Pet Bed For dressing up  Toby Emma was sent the super cute Day at the Spa set. Her older sister had fun the this one. The pieces are small and are not for Emma yet but she had alot of fun watching her big sister dress her cat:) She just giggles at it all. The Pawparazzi Pet Bed is another favorite of Emmas, it seem like the Cat , Purse and Pet Bed have been alot of fun for her to tote around.
We here at Organic Girl have fallen in love with Pawparazzi and we hope you’ll love them too:) Check out the Fun Stuff for Fans, a great online place for your child to play games and join the Fan Club.  HERE
