Alrighty - now how cool is this.
Punk Medics has always been an awesome advertiser for the blog...
You can see their icon in the side bar almost ALWAYS...
When I first saw their icon, I was totally drawn in...
I had to see what they were all about...
and what I found was awesome...
They are a bunch of Canadians hand making VEGAN skin care products.
I had to try it...
and lucky for me they wanted to let me...
and lucky for you they were into the idea of a giveaway!
YAY-ness all around...


They make everything from Shampoo & conditioner...
to face wash... body wash... and every "area" in between...
Now, another thing that totally amazed me...
was their line of tattoo/piercing care...
I have never seen anything like this before...
Leave it to Punk Medics to find their niche.
The have an Organic Jewelry Cleaner...
A Vegan Piercing Care Spray...
and a Tattoo Barrier Cream for healing in a tattoo.
And best of all... does anyone reading this have stretched lobes?
I do... and lets be honest... no matter how hard i try to keep them clean...
they always smell weird... bluh.
But Punk Medics has the solution...
They have this awesome Holey Butt'r Balm...

"Holey Butt'r is a premium ear care crème to maintain stretched ear lobes...
Contains a natural blend of emollients and moisturizers including:
Karanja oil, Shea Butter, Jojoba Oil, and Soy wax."
It has all the good stuff our smelly lobes need to stay fresh, hahahaha...

Got Road Rash?
They have you covered there too with their Skid Top balm & spray...
"SkidStop Spray is an all vegan antiseptic wash that cleanses
and soothes road rash without stinging. An organic plant extract,
with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and analgesic properties."


Now - guess what...
I HAVE GREAT NEWS!!
They sent me two of their super rad travel sets...
one for me and one for you!

Its a 5 pack of their:
Body Wash, Conditioning Shampoo, Leave in Conditioner, Facial Cleanser, Body Lotion
What more could I need on my getaway?
It is valued at $20 for the set, or $25 if you were to buy all of them separately.

Now, as much as I would love to say - I tried it all, I can't...
But I sniff it often :)
We have our honeymoon coming up in a few weeks and i HAVE to save it till then.
It smells so wonderful... and looks so awesome...
and is packaged into perfect travel/airplane friendly tubes...
When we get back Ill be sure to post all the awesome details :)

Dare I be as cheesy as saying - I could FEEL the love packed into this box?
Yes, super cheesy, but true...
The other day we got an amazing Package from MrsVandMe
(www.MrsVandMe.etsy.com)
I opened the box and my 2 year old came running over, scrunched down... and said...
AWEEEEEEE MAMAMAAAAAAA.... in his adorable whiny toddler voice...
(He must have heard me open the Michelle Chang package :)
So instantly he snatched up the blue and orange one...
blue and orange what you ask?
Only the most amazing stuffed monsters Ive ever seen, named Trip and Grip.

Trip is approximately 13 inches wide and 22" tall from the top of his pointy head to the tip of his three-legged toes.
And Grip measures 25.5" from head to toe and 10" from side to side (not including his arms)
They are so big and squishy and absolutely amazing... and machine washable!
She sells the pair for $52.95 or a single one for $30.95.
The are worth even so much more. To find something similar... check out UglyDolls...
They have a similar design idea... same price... about HALF the size...
are mass produced... are made with ZERO love... and absolutely no originality...
So rather than being disappointed... be completely blown away like I was...
These photos do not do trip & Grip justice You really just have to love on them to understand just how awesome they are... and their so friendly and well behaved too!
Look at him here...
Sitting with the boys watching tv before bed...

and here...

Waiting patiently for his kiss goodnight... what a good monster :)

I cut... I sew... I paint and write poetry... juggle babies... and obsess over the internet...
but when it comes to screen printing... Im at a loss...
I have come up with some great ideas, but never try it...
why? Because shops like Oh Boy Threads would make me look bad!
Their stuff is fantastic...
And my absolute favorite... their skull onesie.
http://www.OhBoyThreads.etsy.com
Stolen from their page because they said it best:
"Our organic infant & toddler tees are 100% certified organic cotton so they're naturally earth-friendly and buttery soft.Your little ones deserve only the best against their delicate skin. With a large rib neck for easy on/off, you'll enjoy the convenience of these tees too."
When she says buttery soft, its no joke...
I didn't realize how amazing Organic cotton is.
But its good for the earth, and the softest you can get...
I want a skullie t in mommy size :)
Plus, they wear and wash amazingly...
I tossed it in the machine in cold water
(Using my environmentally friendly laundry soap... YAY!)
Threw it on a hanger to dry
(and save electricity, because Im becoming a hippie)
and there ya have it... clean baby shirt :)
So like I said... Oh Boy Threads would make me look bad...
When I paint on t's or onesies... its very basic.
Stencil, paint & paintbrush... ta-da!!
But noooo... Oh Boy Threads has to show me up...
better than anything I could ever do...
Their skullie onesie has 2 layers...
rows and rows of skulls from top to bottom...
and then one big skull and bones over top.
In WHITE none the less!
How do they do it!?
I dunno... but lets leave it to the pros...
cuz whatever they do.. however they do it...
they do it perfectly.
I mean... look...
how cute is this shirt on this little man...

Adorable!
So adorable I bet you want one too...
Well, seeing as this is a giveaway blog...
You got one too!!
BEtter odds this week!
They gave us two to give away!!
Two awesome tops from Oh Boy Threads...
A 6 months Eco-Skullie onesie...

ANDDD a 12 months Fortune cookie tshirt!
It looks like the picture below...
but says You will sleep through the night soon!!
