OKA b., Shoes That Love You, Mini Mules Review & Give-Away!!!

OKA b. Shoes that love you

OKA b. is founded on the principle that fashion and comfort should never be mutually exclusive. Imagine a shoe that not only looks great with every outfit but feels great with every step. A sandal given the thumbs up by your doctor and your best friend. A slide that matches your wedding gown and massages your feet as you dance down the aisle. A flip-flop so stylish it’s featured in fashion magazines. A shoe that’s 100% recyclable, waterproof, made in the USA and priced under $40.

OKA b. began with two basic styles – a slide and a thong, designed to feel like a spa shoe by integrating the principles of reflexology and ergonomics. Today the line has expanded to include dozens of styles and colors adorned with natural seashell, gemstones and ribbon, without compromising on comfort. Massage beads pamper the foot and promote good posture. OKA b.s are also crafted using a single piece of proprietary Microplast® material and are antimicrobial, waterproof and washable. Each season OKA b. designers adapt runway trends to introduce new designs to the collection. From summer brights to subdued fall tones, bridal collections to the casual weekend flop, there’s an OKA b. sandal for every look and for every occasion. These features make them a hit in upscale resorts, spas, hotels and fine gift shops around the world.

I was recently sent a pair of OKA b. Mini Mules, which is one of their all time best sellers. Right out of the package, they were so comfortable, no breaking them in, no blisters or irritation.  They feel so great on my feet, are so flexible and the massage beads keep your feet comfortable all day. The sizing is perfect and I love that they are machine washable.  I cannot wait  to try some of their other styles.

Grandoe, Leto-Women’s Texting Gloves Review & Exclusive Promo Code!!!

Well, is there a bit of a chill in the air by you?   Are you breaking out the Winter coats, hats and gloves? When the snow starts flying and the temperature dips, I know, I appreciate some warm gloves.  It is brutal, when your steering wheel is near frozen, if you don’t have good gloves on.  The problem with most gloves though, is while they keep your hands toasty, you cannot operate your smart phone and touch screen devices.  So do you have to sacrifice warmth for technology? Grandoe Corporation doesn’t think you should. For Fall ’11 Ciré by Grandoe is introducing their newest innovation; Sensor-Touch™ gloves designed to help people stay warm and stay connected.  Sensor-Touch gloves are built to be touch screen compatible and fashionable. They will activate all touch screen devices including Smartphones, E-Readers, Tablets, MP3 Players, ATM’s, Fuel Pumps and GPS Devices. Sensor Touch™ gloves are available in a variety of styles and fabrics, for both men and women, including products constructed with patent-pending TouchTec® Leather, Infi-Knit™ Technology and Conductive Thread Technology

I was recently sent a pair of Sensor Touch™ gloves with Infi-Knit™ Technology to review.  These LETO – WOMEN’S TEXTING GLOVES are warm, comfortable, stylish and will allow you to operate all your touch screen electronics while wearing them. With the widespread use of touch screen mobile technology, the availability of touch screen compatible products is essential. Ciré by Grandoe’s® Sensor Touch glove line offers the necessary touch screen functionality while stepping up the style. Mommy Ramblings likes these gloves so much we are putting them on our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.  

Special Offer For Mommy Rambling’s Readers:

Puppet Heap Work Shop, Mother Hubbard Among Others Series,Lucy Puppet Review!!!

Recently, I was sent the cutest and most original puppet from Puppet Heap Work Shop. Her name is Lucy, and she is the Cat and the Fiddle, from the Mother Hubbard Among Others Series.  This series was just released last month and  is their first line of hand puppets designed for everyone. The first six characters, Mother Hubbard, Toby (her dog), Lucy (the cat and the fiddle), The Constable, The Doctor and the Cabby, are the first in a series of puppets which populate the town of Spudbottom.

My boys could not wait to see this puppet come alive. They both took turns being the puppet master and there was laughing and giggles all around. This 13 inch puppet is machine washable, made of 100% dyed polyester fabric and filling, includes a detachable fiddle and bow and is recommended for ages 6 and up.  If you are looking for a unique gift this holiday season check out Puppet Heap Work Shop’s puppets.  We like them so much we are putting them on our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.

Everything Puppet Heap does is a profound spirit of play. Nothing could be more essential to life or the art of puppetry. Any production involving puppets, regardless of its complexity or sophistication, moves Puppet Heap only when it’s born of a sense of play. The Puppet Heap team is constantly striving to nurture its open and creative environment to foster spontaneity and experimentation. The result is work that is unique, lively, and original.

Diggin Active, Rock ‘N’ Rolla Buzzy Bee 2 in 1 Rocker/Ride On Review & Give-Away!!!

Are you looking for a great gift idea for your toddler? Well, here is something they will be sure to enjoy! I was thrilled to receive this Rock ‘N’ Rolla Buzzy Bee from Diggin Active for review, because I knew my son would love it! There wasn’t much to assemble other than getting it inflated and putting the wheels on, which was super easy, it even comes with it‘s own wrench attached to the bottom for putting on the wheels! All you need is an air pump to get the seat inflated.

My 2 year old was enthralled with his new playmate! He usually doesn’t care much for “ouchie” bees, but this one is adorable and friendly, they became fast friends! At first, he was cautious and went slowly, but they were soon zipping around together having the time of their lives! The 360 degree wheels allow him to make any turn he needs to! The inflatable bee seat gives kids a smooth, comfortable ride with soft antenna grips for small hands. My son loves riding on his bumble bee, going fast and making quick turns! The bee is absolutely adorable and is quite the unique toy, without the wheels it becomes a rocker for smaller toddlers who don’t like rolling fast. The inflatable material is durable and soft with no sharp or pokey edges that could hurt your child.

The Rock N Rolla is available in three great styles, a cow, a bee or a puppy. We think the Rock N Rolla would make a great gift, so we are adding it to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide! Think of how excited your small child would be to get this smiling, friendly playmate on Christmas morning, and what fun they will have together!

Emerson Creek Pottery, Apple Baker Review & Give-Away!!!

Emerson Creek Pottery

Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, Emerson Creek Pottery artisans are continuing the American tradition of pottery making in a contemporary way. Emerson Creek ceramic pottery has been featured at Monticello, Mt. Vernon and the Smithsonian Institute, as well as in fine homes across America. Emerson Creek pottery is formed of clay made onsite. Each piece is hand made, hand painted and fired in a gas kiln. Each pattern is a series of carefully planned strokes. No templates or stencils are used. The patterns are practiced and committed to memory. The artists paint the pattern again and again. Each piece is alike and yet different, like flowers in a field.  All of their pottery is microwave and dishwasher safe, lead free and ovenproof.

I was recently sent a beautiful Cranberry Apple Baker from Emerson Creek Pottery to review.  Delicately handpainted with a ring of jewel-like little cranberries, this ceramic apple baker will bring charm and vibrant color to those cold winter days.  I love pottery, but I am very careful because while some pottery may be absolutely beautiful, it may not be safe to eat on, because of high lead levels.  With Emerson Creek Pottery, I am assured that their handcrafted pottery is lead free.  More than just a decorative piece, this pottery is able to be used in the oven, microwave and can be cleaned in the dishwasher.  The Apple Baker is a wonderful unique piece that just brings the warmth of Fall into your home.  The pottery even came with the recipe to make delicious sweet baked apples that will fill your home with the comforting aroma of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and apples.  The Apple Baker is also great for making savory dishes like oven roasted stuffed tomatoes.

Please take a look at all of Emerson Creek’s great pieces.  I am sure you will find lots of inspiration for those on your holiday gift list.  For this reason we are adding Emerson Creek Pottery to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.

Emerson Creek Pottery is sponsoring a give-away and one blog reader will win their own Apple Baker in the pattern of their choice. Thank you Emerson Creek Pottery for the review Apple Baker and for sponsoring this beautiful give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  Open to US residents.

I was recently sent a beautiful Cranberry Apple Baker from Emerson Creek Pottery to review.  Delicately handpainted with a ring of jewel-like little cranberries, this ceramic apple baker will bring charm and vibrant color to those cold winter days.  I love pottery, but I am very careful because while some pottery may be absolutely beautiful, it may not be safe to eat on, because of high lead levels.  With Emerson Creek Pottery, I am assured that their handcrafted pottery is lead free.  More than just a decorative piece, this pottery is able to be used in the oven, microwave and can be cleaned in the dishwasher.  The Apple Baker is a wonderful unique piece that just brings the warmth of Fall into your home.  The pottery even came with the recipe to make delicious sweet baked apples that will fill your home with the comforting aroma of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and apples.  The Apple Baker is also great for making savory dishes like oven roasted stuffed tomatoes.

Please take a look at all of Emerson Creek’s great pieces.  I am sure you will find lots of inspiration for those on your holiday gift list.  For this reason we are adding Emerson Creek Pottery to our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide.
