I'm always on the lookout for new toys and games for the little ones so I was elated to be chosen to review Project Playsmart.  Project Play Smart helps parents discover high quality, educational toys for their kids.  Join for free and receive a weekly email of spotlighted products, many at discounts up to 50% off retail. I was given the opportunity to pick my own game/toy to review and when I saw The Magic Labyrinth Board Game I knew that was the perfect game for my kids.

Approximately one week after ordering The Magic Labyrinth, it appeared in our mailbox. We all couldn't wait to play. Mr. E (with his new mohawk), Fingers, and Stinky joined me and we played it for the first time. Then we played again. And again. And they ask me every day to play again. The game was amazing and I wouldn't have found it if it weren't for Project Playsmart.

Each week Project Playsmart features new toys and games, all with an education base. Don't spend another moment roaming the aisles of games and toys plastered with licensed characters. The focus with those games is less on education and building skills and more on putting big bucks into big companies.

You can also earn and redeem credits to purchase more toys and games using the Project Playsmart referral program. A customized url is created for your account, and you can post links to your facebook and twitter accounts. For each person you refer that makes a purchase you will receive $5 in credit towards your future purchases.

Project Playsmart is revolutionizing the way we think about toys and playing games with our children. I know by now you are excited to check out Project Playsmart for yourself. Head on over to their website and set up an account. There's no obligation to buy- although you will find the toys and games too good to pass up!

Get your Waxelene on!

If you've noticed the tagline for SaMiE Designs, you'll notice it says: If it's crafty, green, thrifty, easy or fun, we're in. Living green is so important, we listed in second! So it's no surprise that I am excited to be offering a great new review and giveaway of a great, all-natural product. Waxelene, an all-natural petroleum jelly alternative, is made from only four products, and they're all pronounceable! 

Waxelene is made from organic soybean oil, 100% natural beeswax, organic rosemary oil, and 100% natural vitamin E oil. Waxelene has so many uses, it's almost a one-stop beauty product. Some of the many uses include: soothing and moisturizing dry skin, smoothing out chapped lips, relieving diaper irritation, preventing stains around the hairline during at-home dye jobs, and even reducing the appearance of split and dead ends. 

I really enjoyed using this product. One of my big tests of quality was using the Waxelene during my roller derby practices with the Jackson Hole Juggernauts. I had been having a tough time with my lips drying during practice and dabbing a little bit of Waxelene of my lips beforehand worked like a charm! I also used Waxelene on patches of dry skin, and it left my skin feeling silky and smooth. I am anxious to try it the next time I dye my hair too!

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I am able to offer, via Waxelene and Mom Blog Society, a giveaway for a 2 oz. jar of Waxelene. Use the rafflecopter below to enter this giveaway.

Grow a TREE from Jewelry!

Arbor Day is April 27th, 2012 and what better way to celebrate the day with your family than to plant a tree? As luck would have it I was approved to do a review AND a giveaway for a really amazing company, Future Oxygen, a Michigan based company started to showcase eco-friendly works of art. Future Oxygen carries bracelets, necklaces, and even keychains that ALL transform into plants and trees! I was so excited for this review and giveaway because I LOVE the idea of being GREEN and giving back to our planet!

As part of this review I received a bracelet that will become a white pine tree when planted and a necklace that grows into wildflowers! We will be planting ours as a family on Arbor Day, only three weeks away!

Wondering how a bracelet can grow into a tree? The beads, which have attractive designs on the outside, are made from non-toxic biodegradable pulps and clays and are finished with a non-toxic coating for a water resistant barrier. Inside the bead are seeds for a white pine tree (other pendants carry different seeds too)! Each bead is tied onto a 9" adjustable hemp yarn cord, for softness against the skin.  You can wear your jewelry (away from hot-tubs, pools, and in the shower) for as long as you want, then when you are ready to plant your seeds, you soak the pendant in water for 24 hours then plant in a pot, keeping moist until it begins to sprout.

Another thing I am super-excited about: the compostable packaging! Talk about a zero-waste product!

Future Oxygen has also just recently started their Smile Exchange program, dedicated to bringing smiles back to children faced with deployment, illness, and loss of a family member. For every pendant bought on their site, they will donate one to a charitable organization, such as the Ronald McDonald house, Operation Military Kids, etc. A great gift for a great cause!

Future Oxygen also does school fundraisers!

I really love this concept and will definitely be purchasing more in the future as gifts for family and friends. I urge you to check them out on their website, http://www.futureoxygen.us/ , on Facebook, and on Twitter. Tell them SaMiE Designs sent ya!

Future Oxygen was so gracious enough to also provide for a giveaway, which you can enter to win using the Rafflecopter below. Please make sure to complete the tasks before pressing enter!

Much love and good luck to you!

Peace~
