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 :)

I hate to start this blog by saying I was wrong...
but its true... I was totally wrong...
I totally underestimated these diapers by 3MonkeysClothDiapers.

#1 - Seeing them in person I was totally blown away.
If I can give ONE constructive criticism for this shop...
*Note to Stacey* TAKE NEW PHOTOS!
Your shop deserves SOOO much more press...
and sharper/more professional photos would make a HUGE difference.
Buy a .50 piece of white poster board... take new photos...
and watch the sales come rollin in :)

#2 - Im totally new to cloth diapering...
from what i had heard around... it was the pocket diapers I wanted...
Again, I was wrong... I want these diapers... about 20 more...
No tucking, twisting... cliping...
everything is right there ready to go...
you just flip it on like a normal diaper.

Due to a secret "HUGE future giveaway" i have in the works...
I have had the opportunity to try out alot of different diapers.
And right now, these are the top of my list...
and Im not just saying that... its totally true.

I was TRYING to get Zavery to soak through this diaper...
I wanted to remind myself why I use disposables...
He had JUST woken from his nap...
I gave him a big ol cup of juice, and cute little skull diaper booty :)

Or course, I had to let him run around naked...
cuz he looked so darn cute...

I started watching the clock... 4:15 we started...
@ 4:45 i pulled off the diaper... he HAD to have "pottied" by then...
nothing... no wetness...
We had dinner plans, so i took a big risk and left him in the diaper...
5:30 I checked again, he was still totally fine... hardly damp...
since our start time he had ANOTHER cup of water... still fine...
reservations were at 6:30... so I took him in, and changed him.
Had I wanted to push it longer I could have.
But i was SO SO SO beyond happy with these results I didnt want to ruin it.

I really can't even explain how happy I am about these diapers...
I wish I would have started from the beginning.
Her diapers are affordable... stylish... and top of the line.
and yes of course, you get to try one too!
TWO OF YOU!!
Though, let the record state...
I totally want to keep them for myself... haha

I want to preface this blog by using the definition of "jinx":Jinx\, n. A person, object, influence, or supernatural being which is supposed to bring bad luck or to cause things to go wrong.

Now - for my story...
Ya know "they" always say - if its too good to be true, it probably is...
Or... if your toddlers being good at a restaurant, you NEVER say it outloud...
you dare even THINK it, because the second you do... expect a meltdown. Or, wow... I sure have gotten the house really clean today - just then, a tornado blows through your living room... and only YOUR living room. Or maybe even, yeah, it sure has been a swell day today right honey? Just then your mother in law calls and announces her surprise visit... for a week... and shes staying your spare bedroom... wow, now thats bad luck... OR, ahem... a jinx... but I had one yesterday that will compete pretty well with that...

I was driving with the boys to Wal-Mart... I had to pick up a few things...
Poly-Fil, Printer Ink, Vaccuum bags... a viberator and some lube, wait what!?
No no... i just made that part up...
that would definitely make the story more interesting though!
Now that your listening... ill continue...
... had to pick up a few things...
while on my way, I was thinking of what I would blog about for...
"Note to Self Saturday"....
and I was totally stumped...
*heres where it all went bad*
I thought - wow... I havn't really done anything stupid this week...
*GASP!*
So I got to wal-mart...
grabbed all my goodies...
(including a $9 eco-friendly toddler potty to keep in the sewing studio for potty training... I recommend one in every room)
I put the potty under the cart and proceeded to the checkout...
They nice lady while giggling with the boys rang me up...
and I put the potty back under the cart.
Just then, I realized I left my wallet in the car in my other bag.
OOPS! Silly me...
So I tell her Ill be right back, she holds my items,
and off I go sprinting towards the door pushing the boys.
While running out of the door the alarm goes off...
*Lets remember... I have hot pink hair, a half sleeve of tattoos... and piercings...*
So the lady stops me and as Im running out, I remember... SHIT! The potty is down there.
I hand it to her, explain I have to get my wallet... etc.
Well, that wasn't good enough... 2 people came over.
Asked for my receipt. I pointed down the isle...
exlained the situation and said, my stuff is down there, I have to get my wallet ill be right back. Walk me out if you want.
Im here to spend over $100, why would I steal a $9 potty chair!!??
Finally they agreed and let me go...
While walking out the door... BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP...
it went off again...
I pulled everything out of my bags... my purse shook out the kids blankets, etc.
At this point, I have a gathering of gawkers... (A month ago zaq bought me a pack of tongue rings from walmart...
Well, today - it was setting off the alarm. I dont know why...
ive been there a ton of times since... except for, the jinx...
So I pulled it out, handed it to her...
again... asked wehre my receipt was.
I had no clue... it was a month ago!
Finally after an almost 15 minute process...
the security lady realized that you had to get those out of the case and pay at the jewelry counter... adn they let me go...
I ran out, got my wallet... paid...
and hauled butt home with my VERY crabby babies at that point...

Recap:
15 minute trips can go terribly wrong when mixed with a jinx... always, always wear your jinx cup... (like a nut up, but better)

Note To Self:
When things are going good KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!!! You WILL jinx yourself... Dont say it.. dont even think it... just go with it... also, when making a Bee-line to the wal-mart door... be sure your not "stealing" anything...

I Need You: Tell me your funniest, most horrible Jinx that you can remember
