AMAZING lotion!!! - ENDED! Congrats Joe and Bridge!

I have always lived in the South. With one look, you can see that I have spent WAAAYYY too many hours out in the sun, unprotected! By the time I am 40, I will likely look at bit like a raisin.
I really wish I had found out about this product earlier!!
Skin MD has managed to come up with a brand new, break-through formula which has proven to be at least 6 times more moisturizing than glycerin! I used to make my own lotions and lip balms, so I know that when it comes to moisturization, it simply doesn't get better than glycerin.
But when I tried their lotion, I was absolutely AMAZED. A little bit goes a long way, so you don't have to apply much. The lotion INSTANTLY absorbs into your skin, and leaves no greasy film behind!
I used this lotion on my cracked and dry hands one night before bed, and woke up feeling like I had someone elses hands attached to my arms! My hands felt brand new, and the cracks were healed. I am extremely impressed with this product.

It is also great for my girls, who suffer from dry, itchy skin, and would be perfect for anyone who suffers from eczema!

And can you believe that their lotion is lo light, you can even use it on your face? My face is constantly dry, because of the harmful products I cleanse it with. When I applied this lotion, my face felt amazing! And it never clogged my pores!

Their website says...

"A shielding lotion does much more than just treat dry skin – it’s a new kind of skin care product that makes a real difference to all skin types.

Skin MD Natural™ utilizes the finest effective natural ingredients for dry skin treatment along with the latest advances in technology to hydrate and protect the skin.

This is an entirely new concept in skin care requiring a new classification: "Shielding Lotion". A shielding lotion keeps moisture-robbing irritants away from the skin while the proprietary "super" humectants hydrate the skin throughout the day."

Skin MD also makes a Shielding Lotion that will help to protect you from harmful UV rays! It really is never too late to start protecting your skin from the sun... even for a raisin like me! :)

STACROBATS!!! - Ended! Congrats Paige!

STACROBATS!!

I love these little magnetic guys!!!!

Stacrobats is not only a favorite toy for my kids... it's wildly entertaining for me! :) Kushies has some amazing one-of-a-kind products on their site, which are all of very high quality. You can buy from them knowing you are getting the absolute best!



Stacrobats are little magnetic acrobats that you can stack (hence the name!). Their magnetism is really strong, so they don't fall over easily. They come with 5 people, 3 balls, and a platform (which is also the zipper carrying case!). All items are magnetic! My youngest girls often sit for long periods of time, arranging, and rearranging their Stacrobats! They love the endless possibilities of combinations!

The entire set comes in a plastic bag, which makes it an easy travel companion, and will protect the set from moisture or spills.Stacrobats retail for $51.99 at Toys R Us, and they are temporarily out of stock, because this is such a popular item!

But you can win one on Mingle Over Mocha!

HOBO BAG! - ENDED! Congrats Dee5837!

If you've gone shopping lately, you know that Hobo Bags are all the rage. I've seen them used in place of purses, beach bags, shopping bags, diaper bags, and even briefcases! They're much more versatile than ordinary bags, because they have so many uses!

My favorite Hobo Bag website is...

www.HoboBag.org

HoboBag.org sent me this amazingly versatile Rosenthal Market Bag to try out- I LOVE IT!!!
I can't even number the uses for this bag! Also, I was worried about the quality (mostly because Hobo Bag.org's prices are SO LOW!!)- I was afraid that it would have lose stitching, and poor materials. But, it is actually made every bit as well as my favorite Coach bag!!

Speaking of Coach bags, they have those, too!They also have city hobo bags...

Leather oversized hobo bags...Organic market bags...And doggy purses for your favorite little one!!! Literally, if there is a purse or bag you can dream up, HoboBag.org has it!!! And trust me, you will NOT BELIEVE their prices!!!

HoboBag.org is offering one lucky reader of Mingle Over Mocha a $30 voucher to their store! You will be totally amazed at what kind of bag $30 can buy!

Would you love to win?? Of course you would.

Nalgene Bottles!!!

You already know the name.... NALGENE!
We all love their bottles, and know about their amazing strength and durability!
And YES! They are BPA-free!!
But now, there are so many new options available through Nalgene, everyone will be able to find just what they are looking for!

You will be amazed at the number of selections on the Nalgene Choice website! They offer everything from sippy cups, to runners bottles, to airline bottles (bring along your liquids when you fly, but stay in compliance with airline standards), to kitchen storage containers!



This "Grip n' Gulp" is absolutely my favorite child's bottle of all time!!! You know those sippy cups that claim they won't leak... but they they leak all over your child? Well, I have found a true NO LEAK sippy in the Grip n' Gulp! And, like all Nalgene bottles, they are BPA free! My 3 year old takes it to bed each night, and when she falls asleep and drops it on the bed beside her, it will not leak one drop!
I also love the aesthetic design, and the cute hook on the top. We use "S hooks" on our stroller to carry extra bags and paraphernalia. These Grip n' Gulps hang perfectly on the travel S hooks.

And their BPA free On the Go bottles are the perfect solution for adults on the run! I am usually running in 15 directions at once. My older two children and I love these bottles! I have used them for everything from water to coffee! When I pour my morning coffee in them, I use a cup cozy to protect my hand from the heat. But the bottle holds up perfectly!


Both of these cups come in a variety of colors!
Please visit the Nalgene Choice site, and look at the incredible variety of bottles and products they offer!

Meanwhile, Abe at Nalgene is offering 12 Grip n' Gulp, and 12 On the Go bottles as giveaways for 24 lucky readers of Mingle Over Mocha! I will be choosing by random drawing 24 times. It is possible for one reader to win more than once! I will first draw 12 times for the 12 Grip n' Go bottles, then 12 times for the 12 On the Go bottle winners! I will comment one time at the end of the competition, listing all winners. Good luck!
