 Silver charm bracelets are so easy to personalize. Start by choosing a charm bracelet (or necklace). Then add as many .925 sterling silver charms as you like. Each charm comes with a free jump ring to attach it to your bracelet.

 

Autism and awareness bracelets.

Themed bracelets.

Crystal Charm bracelets.

There are so many choices, as well as many sterling silver charms

Here area few of my favorites.

They even have a ribbon charm for a wide variety  of awareness,  you can find a whole list here.

I was given the chance to review, and I love it. I have worn it, often, I can honestly say it is much prettier in person then it is online even.  I love how the larger clasp makes it easier to get on, then other bracelets I have owned over the years,  The charms seem to be well attached and I can see myself wearing this lovely bracelet every chance I get for a very long time, It will go great with my easter outfit.

Utterly Smooth Review

In the Northern States Like Ohio , where Udderly Smooth is made, winters are Harsh. I can attest to that, Michigan really isn't far from Ohio, and it's winter, So it's the harsh winds, Freezing temperatures, and the dry heat from our furnaces, that dry out skin super fast.. 

However, Udderly smooth wasn't always made for people, Nope it was originally intended for use on cows. Just like people cows can get chapped and dry skin,but thankfully so they did make a line of products 
That will help with the harsh temperatures winter brings. I love this lotion, It does not have a strong, smell it's rather pleasant, reminds me of a lotion my grandma used to use, when I was a little girl. 


Udderly Smooth  makes so many great products, I thought I should tell you about, 

Udderly SMOOth® Foot Cream with Shea Butter for moisturizes, smooths roughness and softens dry feet. Helps get feet ready for summer sandal season and smooth winter dry skin. Dry Feet 

Original Udderly Smooth® Udder Cream is a grease less, stainless water-based moisturizer with a light fresh fragrance.

Udderly SMOOth® Country Cream® is a light hand and body cream that moisturizes skin to keep skin soft and supple.

Udderly SMOOth® Foot Cream moisturizes, smooths roughness and softens dry feet. Helps get feet ready for summer sandal season and smooth winter dry skin.

There are even more fabulous products in the Utterly Smooth Line of products. You can check them out here. 

I was sent 3 great products to test out.

I took about a week to test out all 3, and even my husband will now use the lotion. I do suffer from dry cracked feet, like a lot of women, and I love flip flops in the summer, spring, and fall. I have been using the foot cream now for a few days an defiantly can see an difference, they are a lot softer and the rough patches seem to be just about gone to. Now if only the snow would melt already. 

I really like the fact that you can buy them in stores as well as on line. Here is a long list of stores that sell Utterly Smooth.

Hop Hop Hop, It's Time for the Sunday Hops!

Inspired by Finn Hazelwood Necklace review.

I had heard about Inspired By Finn. from a lovely group of women in a group on Cafemom and the benefits of using amber, for things like teething babies. I began to look around their website, I noticed that they had so many items, That had a natural approach to relieving many ailments that, People of all ages suffer from.  Inspired By Finn has necklaces for babies, as well as bracelets for adults.

Baltic Amber Jewelry:

Baltic amber is not a stone, but a fossilized tree resin.Historically, Baltic Amber has been used in Europe as a natural and traditional remedy and curative for many ailments for centuries. Long ago it was considered one of the leading ‘medicines’ of its time. Baltic Amber is the most esteemed amber in the world, and the healing qualities of Baltic Amber make it unlike any other type of amber found in the world.

When baltic amber is worn on the skin, the skin’s warmth releases trace amounts of healing oils from the amber. These oils contain succinic acid and are absorbed into the skin. 

Baltic Amber has some of the highest concentrations of Succinic Acid found in nature, and this is what makes it so special. Succinic Acid is a natural component of plant and animal tissues, and it's presence in the human body is beneficial in many ways. 

Baltic amber contains analgesic properties and helps take the edge off of many types of discomfort associated with dental issues, headaches, joint pain, etc.

In many different and subtle ways, succinic acid helps boost the body's own natural healing ability and immune system.

The human body naturally produces succinic acid. The salt of succinic acid (succinate) is one of the most active substances in the processes of cellular respiration and intercellular energy creation. Succinic acid restores oxygen and energy supply to depleted cells and helps the body return to a normal, functioning state. 

Succinate is a raw material and a catalyst in the Krebs Cycle which is one of our main sources of energy. During the Krebs Cycle carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are metabolized for energy.

When the human body reacts to stress, the body’s cells begin to use oxygen more quickly. Oxygen plays a central role in the intercellular creation of energy, and a lack of oxygen can result in feeling lethargic.

Oxygen is alkaline-forming in the blood and maintaining a slightly alkaline blood ph helps keep us healthy. Whenever the body functions in a state of low oxygen, it is much more susceptible to illness.

Where chronic inflammation is present, disease lurks.

When the body’s cells are chronically inflamed the human body’s immune system response is to increase production of free radicals. Chronic overproduction of free radicals results in inflammatory-related disease. Chronic inflammation is a common denominator of many seemingly unrelated diseases.

Hazel Wood Jewelry

Wood from the Beaked Hazel scientifically known as  Corylus cornuta tree has the 

medicinal property of neutralizing the body's acidity. 

It relieves or prevents ailments such as ulcers, acid reflux, heartburn, skin problems such as psoriasis, eczema, acne, arthritis, constipation, migraines, sensitive & bleeding gums, helps reduce dental cavities and more. These necklaces are a great remedy for heartburn and nausea during pregnancy!

I chose this necklace to review, and had high hopes it might clear up my son's eczema, but thought even if it didn't work, it sure would look cute on my little guy. After receiving it, I immediately opened it and put it right on him. Because he is only 23 months old, i'm not comfortable leaving it on him to sleep. We put it on every morning when I get him dressed, and take it off every night when Jammies go on. In a few days I have noticed  His skin looking a little better, and with the necklace and a basic fragrance free  lotion several times a day his skin is completely cleared up! I could not be happier about that. I felt awful about the way his little legs looked. I can honestly say when this necklace stops working I will be buying another, I am a little    sad that they only last 6 months to 1year though. 

You can Buy Inspired by Finn Here at their Hyenacart store, and make sure to check out their Facebook page  for new and exciting offers from them.

Dapple review.

Dapple baby is a line of natural baby products. Created because as most of us mothers know, they make a whole isle of baby friendly products, baby wash, baby soap, even baby laundry detergent, but what about all the things babies put in their mouths. With my daycare, and having my own toddlers, I really worry about having clean toys, for them to chew on, but other then dish soap, there really wasn't anything I could find that didn't leave a residue or smell. Although my younger two children Never had a bottle, so I never noticed if there was ever a film on them, but now with all the sippy cups or even pacifiers, they develop a gross film, and it made me wonder, is this really something that I want my baby to put in his mouth. UM no!

Why choose Dapple?  Here are some reasons why,

Created with input from leading pediatricians and a team of chemists with expertise in green cleaning technology, each one of our products is specially formulated to solve a different baby-related cleaning problem, with natural-based ingredients that are baby-friendly – and designed to address the specific issue at hand.

Dapple takes the time, hassle, and worry out of cleaning and caring for your baby, with products that are gentle enough for baby, yet powerful enough for your everyday needs. Plus,  Dapple products are safer for the environment, so you know you’ll be making things better for many generations of babies to come.

Dapple solves this problem, with this, with their great line of products.

Honestly I this is a great product, I used the Dapple travel wipes I was sent to clean my children's Trio Blocks which get daily use from all the children in our home. After cleaning, the toys were left clean, and with a pleasant smell.  I really felt that they were much cleaner then the last time, I had to clean them with dish soap, I'm not a fan of bleach at all for things other then disinfecting.  I also used the dapple travel size dish soap I was send, to wash a batch of sippy cups, and the I don't think they have ever been cleaner. I will be purchasing full size versions of a few of these products, as soon as I can make it to Babies R Us.

You can buy Dapple at several online retails for a list look Here
