Cavallieri Men's Tie Review
Bows 'N Ties offers 100% genuine silk ties for half the cost they would be purchased for elsewhere! These ties come in a variety of colors and designs.This company imports their ties directly and there is no "monkey in the middle". These ties are only available on their site.
I received a beautiful silk Cavallieri tie that Bows 'N Ties sells for $24.90, while other stores charge $50 for the same tie. My husband and I liked the texture of the tie but we did not care for the pattern. It was a little too "busy" for my husbands taste and it didn't go well with any of his dress clothes. He told me if it had been blue then he would've liked it.
The tie is very soft and durable, the material is obviously high quality.
When I checked out the site, I did find several of the Cavallieri tie designs that both my husband and I did like and he would happily wear. We just did not care for this particular design.
I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Batman Toddler Costume Review
I chose to try the Batman The Dark Knight Rises Toddler Costume (available for $19.99 online). The costume fit my 8 month old just right. It says 2T-4T but I would say that it fits in between size 2T and 3T. My son is tall; so it fit him despite that he's not a toddler yet. The material is nice and thick, so I know he will stay warm. The outfit is a one piece and Velcros at the top in the back, so you have to place your baby into the costume. The cape and mask are attached together as a separate piece, the cape Velcros at the edge so that it can be velcroed and placed around your child's neck. The mask fit really big, it might fit my son if he was four or five, but I put it on him for photographic purposes. He hated the mask though and screamed until I removed it. The material of the whole costume is incredibly soft and I can only imagine feels very warm and snuggly.

Headline T-Shirt Giveaway
a Rafflecopter giveaway
Headline T-Shirt Review
The top I chose depicts the boarding of the animals two by two onto the biblical Noah's Ark, with a huge dinosaur in the back, and Noah going damn. I couldn't resist! It just made me laugh instantly. So that's how dinosaurs went extinct! just kidding.
I love that the neck is a scoop neck, which makes it very distinctly feminine, without being scandalous. I no longer wear low necklines due to my infant son. So this shirt was just right! The material is not too thick and not too thin, it's just right, and very durable. I took a photo of it hanging on my door, and some photos of me wearing the top. I feel it gives readers a better idea of the fit of the top. Do remember though that I am 5'9 and shirts tend to run shorter on me than on others.

Tom's of Maine Simply White Fluoride Toothpaste Review
When I hear the brand Tom's of Maine three words come to mind; natural, healthy, and reputation. This is the toothpaste that my parents used growing up and that my sister and I used as well. We've used the deodorants as well. Tom's of Maine has a great, long standing reputation and I couldn't be more thrilled to be reviewing one of their products. I have sensitive gums and I always "forget" to floss, to the point that my dentist has instructed me to use only fluoride toothpastes and mouthwashes. I was very excited to see a toothpaste that won't damage my teeth or increase sensitivity, whitens my teeth, provides cavity protection, and is a fluoride toothpaste. It was literally a dream come true!
When this arrived in the mail, as silly as it may seem, I could not wait to brush my teeth! Previous Natural toothpastes tasted gritty and bland but this toothpaste was smooth with a just right taste and no bad aftertaste. I had fresh breath and teeth that felt and looked polished, shiny, and new! The best part is that Tom's of Maine is good for teeth! Their toothpastes contain no artificial or synthetic ingredients or harsh abrasives. Simply White uses a combination of three abrasive free, cleaning silicas and when they are all used together, surface stains on teeth are gently and naturally whitened. Simply White also doesn't contain any parabens, poloxamer, or gluten. So I feel safe and at ease brushing my teeth, rather than worry what exactly is going in my mouth.
I received a sample of Clean Mint which tasted like a not too mild but not too strong , and great fresh breath after brushing, Peppermint. I loved it! Simply White also comes in the flavor Sweet Mint, which I am intent on trying next. This toothpaste retails for the low price of $4.99 for a 4.7 oz tube and can be found at most retail stores, as well as online at: www.tomsofmainestore.com. Best of all if you are looking for a specific product you can just call the customer service number ( 1-800-FOR-TOMS (367 8667) and Toms of Maine will try their hardest to find a store nearby that carries that product! If you shop online at Toms of Maine Store website, free ground shipping is provided for orders of $30 or more. Be healthy, be clean, and shop Toms of Maine!
