Switchin things up... NEW GIVEAWAY! Rockin Green Soap!

As my son would say...
GEEZE LOUISE!!!
its busy around here...
And yes yes yes, Tuesday was supposed to be the new giveaway...
but alas, I failed...
but good news...
ITS GOING UP RIGHT NOW!!

This weeks giveaway is for all of you stinky, dirty punk rockers out there...
Be it stinky people with sensitive skin... hippies that are good to the earth...
or us cloth diapering mommies that are a little of all 3 rolled into one...
Rockin Green is just what you need.


Any of you that read my blog know a few key things about me...
#1. Im becoming like... 50% hippie...
just 50% because if I was 100% hippie, i think husband would file for divorce...
#2. Ive started cloth diapering...
#3. I love anything with a skull and crossbones on it.

And all of these things make me LOVE ROCKin Green Soaps...
Why else do I love them?
"Rockin’ Green is:

* Dye free
* Comes in several yummy scents (& an unscented version)
* No fillers
* No enzymes or optical brighteners
* 100% Phosphate free
* Vegan
* Great for sensitive skin
* Easy rinsing formula
* Approved for military use
* Works wonders on microfiber stink!
* Perfect for cloth diapers
* HE compatible
* Reusable packaging
* Great for all water types
* Economical at .13 cents a load!"

Now, I started using two different samples of detergents at the same time...
not the same load, duh... just trying out two different diaper soap brands...
the first one... whom i will not mention here :(
was SOOOOO overwhelmingly potent with smell hubby said he couldn't even breathe...
*dramatic, maybe... but it was pretty intense*
Not to mention... it was irritating Zaverys little... junk?
Then there was Rockin Green... sweet subtle scents...
A perfectly frothy sudz up in the wash...

And after a good cold pre-rinse & then wash with Rockin' Green...
The diapers came out fresh... and clean...
The second time around I used it as a pre-rinse first...
then a soak with a few scoops full...
and then the wash.
It worked GREAT! The diapers were SO clean...
and super super super absorbent from getting all the gunk out.
CHeck out this video for proof!

*this is NOT my video I borrowed it form YouTube*
Rockin Green is really the only Cloth Diapering detergent you will ever need.
Dont believe me? Ask my friend Brooke... she blogged about them too!
And guess what... you get to try it out for free!

IM A SLACKER, I KNOW!! BUT I HAVE LOTS OF PRIZES!!

So heres the deal...
most of you know - its been crazy over here.
Liam (Tori Spellings son) was photographed in RockerByeBaby...

This was a huge boom in business, naturally.

I got married on July 18th, so planning totally took over.
But when all was said and done, it was fantastic...
and we all looked darn good :)

Then we went on our honeymoon right afterwards.

OH, and lets not forget... just before I left for all of that,
I was contacted about "gifting" nursery bedding for Angie Everhart.
This was a HUGE opportunity...
as there is going to be an article in Pregnancy magazine about it...
Which then turned into a 4 page spread in Life & Style.
Ill keep you all updated about when it comes out!

But, NO EXCUSES!
Ive been slacking and Im sorry...
Here are the winners of the prizes from the last few giveaways...
please forgive me!!!
If you see your name on this list...
OR if you get an email from me...
PLEASE email me: rockerbyebaby@gmail.com
and send me your address so I can ship these prizes ASAP.

Newest giveaway: Punk Medics Vegan Travel Set

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 :)
