Vexed Vision Review & Giveaway

When I'm doing some online shopping, the thing that I love most are shops with variety. If a shop only sells the same thing in different colors, patterns, sizes, etc, I get bored quickly and move on. Shops that have a variety of different inventory keep me interested and want to look at everything they have! When I look at Vexed Vision on Etsy, I can't help but enjoy myself the entire time I am browsing. Need a cute tutu for your daughter? Pick a color. Hoping for a beanie for your son? Great, dog or giraffe? Desperately in need of a pick me up for yourself? Sure, accessories or travel mug? Seriously, the possibilities are endless.

Vexed Vision was started in the summer of 2012 when Vix was on maternity leave after giving birth to a beautiful little girl. Vix spent her daughters nap time doing crafts that were ultimately inspired by her daughter. Aside from offering adorable baby products, she also wanted to give moms the opportunity to treat themselves as well, so she started creating unique accessories suitable for mommas everywhere! Vexed Vision offers fun products and accessories for extremely affordable prices! 

I was super excited to rip open my box from Vexed Vision when it arrived! We hadn't discussed what would be sent so I knew everything would be a surprise when I opened it! I felt like a kid on Christmas. Vexed Vision sent me a travel mug, a crocheted headwrap, a beanie for Baby A, hair clips, and a pacifier clip! I had so much fun going through everything and Baby A looked soooooo cute in his beanie! I wish I could have gotten a picture, trust me, I've tried, but that little booger is all over the place!

This infant/toddler dog beanie is hand crocheted and is ridiculously adorable. I know how to crochet, and although I like to think I am good at crocheting, I still have yet to master making a beanie. I loved that this beanie had ears (as a dog should), they were SO stinking cute. My son as you know is just over a year and this beanie fits him perfectly, but does have "give" so that he will be able to wear it for many more months. It is a light beige and brown in color so it will match will pretty much everything in his wardrobe! What I love most about this hat aside from how adorable it is, is that it is made out of a very cozy yarn so you can feel confident that your little one will stay warm through those winter months! Vexed Vision also makes a lady bug hat and a giraffe hat for your little one! I adore the giraffe!

During these chilly months you will want to keep yourself warm along with your little one, so you must treat yourself to one of Vexed Visions crocheted headwraps! I absolutely love the stitching, it is chunky and cozy, but doesn't feel to heavy while you are wearing it. I personally hate wearing hats and beanies. My head is to confined and it for some reason always gives me a headache. With this headwrap, it is big enough to keep your head warm, but it isn't confining like a beanie would be. The headwrap is size adjustable and you can tie it as loose or as tightly as you may want it! 

So cute right?

Being a huge fan of hair accessories, when I pulled these adorable heart clips out of the box I was super excited. These are perfect for adding a little something extra to your outfit and to hold your hair back! I wore my clips in my hair while I was cleaning house and they didn't move at all! A lot of clips will slide around or fall out completely but these allowed me to clean my house with my bangs out of my eyes, it was a nice change of pace. The hearts have a cross stitch look to them but they are in fact a soft plastic! You get the adorable look with practicality and not having to worry about them getting dirty for any reason. These clips are perfect for mom or daughter!

I don't know about you, but I'm sick of Baby A's paci's falling to the ground whenever we are out and about. Half of the time I didn't bring an extra paci, and the other half of the time he's also dropped all of the extras! With this super cute paci clip, I won't have to worry about his pacifier falling and getting dirty! It attaches securely onto his shirt with the suspender clip while the elastic band wraps around his pacifier for a strong hold. When I pulled on the pacifier, it stayed in place and was tight and I knew I wouldn't have to worry about it falling off and getting dirty. In the listing for the pacifier clip on Vexed Visions Etsy, it says that it is made to fit soothies pacifiers, but Baby A is all about his MAM's and it worked perfectly for us! I highly recommend this pacifier clip, the quality is fantastic and honestly you can't beat it's pricetag!

Are you a coffee drinker? You're going to love this! Vexed Vision has travel mugs! Drink your coffee on the go with a unique and fun travel mug that will brighten up your day! What I love must about this travel mug is that it has a handle! So many travel mugs you will come across do not and it just makes everything SO much easier if there is a handle, don't you think? Vexed Vision sent me a super cute and girly mug with leopard print, floral, girly skulls and a fun pink and black background. I absolutely love it! My only suggestion for Vexed Vision with this coffee mug is to find an alternate way to secure the fabric inside, when I washed my mug it came unscrewed and the fabric got loose! I was easily able to fix it though and I am confident that Vexed Vision will too!

 Overall I love the products that Vexed Vision offers and I think that they would make great gifts for yourself, your little one, or others! Everything in Vexed Vision is so much fun, the quality is great, and the prices are competitive. There is sure to be something you'll fall in love with at Vexed Vision!

Rockin Green Review & Giveaway!

*I received wall decor for review in exchange for my honest thoughts and opinions*

After surveying a handful of moms (some family, some friends, some MCO readers) to find out what laundry detergents they used on their clothes, their children's clothes, and cloth diapers (if applicable) I found that quite a few of them use Rockin Green. I had heard of Rockin Green prior to my little survey but I had never tried it and knowing that it was popular I was instantly intrigued.

What I love most about Rockin Green is that they are eco-friendly and dye free which means they are not harmful to your clothing and don't add tons of chemicals to wash. Rockin Green has three types of "Formula's" depending on your water type. Hard Rock for hard water, Classic Rock for normal water, and Soft Rock for soft water. All of the detergents are HE Washer safe and from what I could gather are all in powder form. There are six different scents available for Rockin Green detergents including: Rage Against the Raspberry, Smashing Watermelons, Motley Clean, Earth Wind and Orchids, Lavender Mint Revival, and Bare Naked Babies (Unscented). Along with regular laundry detergents Rockin Green also provides Femme Rock which is a cloth menstrual pad detergent, Funk Rock which is an ammonia bouncer for cloth diapers or other stinky mishaps, Dog House Rock which is for pet beds and toys, and many other laundry accessories.

I was lucky enough to get three samples of Rockin Green to try out. I have pretty normal water (as far as I know) so I chose the Classic Rock and asked them to surprise me with the scents. I was sent Motley Clean, Earth Wind and Orchids, and Rage against the Raspberry. I assigned the Motley Clean to use on cloth diapers since it smelt the most mild and closest to unscented. The Rage Against the Raspberry was used on mine and Mr. Hunkys clothing and the Earth, Wind, and Orchids was used on Baby A's clothes. For the first time in my life, I was excited to do the laundry!!!

 I didn't need to do diapers just yet so I started off with a load of Baby A's cloths. I started the water, threw in the clothes and tossed the powder on top of the clothes. I loved the soft comforting scent of the Earth, Wind, and Orchids. Baby A's clothes came out of the wash feeling soft, smelling great, and looking as vibrant as ever. I was pleased that I didn't have to use a ton of detergent and the clothes came out with fewer stains and extremely clean!

For Baby A's diapers I filled prewashed them in oxygenated bleach prior to washing them with the Rockin Green. I used Motley Clean on the diapers because it had the lightest fragrance and the diapers came out smelling like fresh rather than smelling like ammonia which was a wonderful change of pace! I felt like the diapers came out much cleaner than they do when I use All Free and Clear and they even felt cleaner as well.

For the "adult clothes" I used the Rage Against the Raspberry scent because to be honest, I wanted my clothes to smell fruity! Mr. Hunky has a very physical job and his clothes get super dirty and smelly so I was nervous and skeptical that Rockin Green wouldn't be a strong enough formula to clean his clothes the way we needed. Once I opened the dryer I was pleased to see that my towels looked softer than they normally do and Mr. Hunky's white Undershirt looked brighter than it did when it went into the wash!

Overall: I would give Rockin Green a grade of an A-. I love the fact that its a powdered detergent rather than a liquid, I tend to favor powder over liquid for some unexplainable reason. I love how clean the detergent gets clothing and I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it gets the stinkies out of cloth diapers. Clothing goes in dirty and genuinely comes out CLEAN. The biggest con for me is the scents. I really love the names and the scents of Rockin Green detergents however I wished they were a little stronger. There is nothing that I enjoy more than taking hot clothes out of the dryer and smelling their strong yummy fragrances. Yes, Rockin Green smells wonderful but the scents are faint and I was disappointed that our clothes didn't hold the detergents scent. Overall I absolutely loved Rockin Green detergent, it is a great detergent to use on both clothing and cloth diapers and I plan on placing an order for Classic Rock (not sure which scent yet), Funk Rock, and a pail freshener.

You can get your Rockin Green directly from Rockin Green's Website or on Cottonbabies!
