Cool Gel N Cap makes First Aid for Kids Fun {Giveaway} #coolgelncap




There is not a mom out there who doesn't dread those endless booboos. How about the flu? The viruses with the fevers that just never end. What do you do though to try to get them more comfortable? Of course you follow the doctor's orders for medications and treatments but you want them to be comfortable too. I have tried it all from frozen peas to dishtowel wrapped ice packs that fall off over and over. Finally a boo boo solution from someone smarter than me. It is actually ingenious. I would love this for adults. They really need to consider this one for the grownups too.  From the head bops to the headaches, fevers to earaches, the Cool Gel N Cap makes first aid a lot less stressful for everyone. Including mommy and daddy. The Cool Gel N Cap provides comforting drug-free relief for your child's everyday lumps, bumps, earaches, headaches, and fevers. You can relax because the Cool Gel N Cap lets you melt away the pain, not the ice!



What is the Cool Gel N Cap and how does it work? That was my first question too. The Cool Gel N Cap is a lovable puppy dog or bunny cap which lets momma or daddy place two gel packs anywhere inside. The ingenious aspect to this invention is that you can warm the gel pack or freeze them depending on your needs.  Either way it provides soothing relief to all kinds lumps, bumps, earaches, headaches, and fevers. 


The friendly and sweet puppy and bunny faces cheer your sick ones right up. I can vouch for that. Mine arrived during the middle of the Worst Virus Ever. Really. I hope to G-d you never experience anything like this. My child has been down for the count since Tuesday. Fevers never ending. Nausea. Pooping. Vomiting.  We have been to the doctor so many times. One of the few things that really comforted her when she was so hot was ice packs but they kept falling off her forehead. I tried everything. Then the Cool Gel N Cap arrived. She actually smiled when she saw it. The poor thing hasn't smiled in days. In addition to being sick, we had to cancel a long-planned vacation up to the Adirondacks to visit friends. She has been so sad and sick....she cheered up so much with the hat she put it on right away. I popped the gel packs in the freezer and in an hour they were cool enough to put in the Cool Gel N Cap. It was a treat to see the smile on her face and it cooled her down too.

Children are afraid of ice packs and placing an ice pack directly on the skin stings too much.  Those zipper bags inevitably leak...I have even tried double bagging them. Don't even think about throwing some ice cubes in a yucky dish rag either...your poor little one deserves something better and cleaner  than that.  It is easy with Cool Gel N Cap too.

If you can it is always a good option to be able to provide drug free pain relief. Of course you want to follow the instructions of your physician or health care provider but I prefer drug free when I can. Another consideration is having your hands free. I can tell you all about that. You need your hands for other things to help your little one. You don't want all the details of this week though, trust me. I am hoping my career as Mommy Super Nurse is almost over. It is a thankless and tiring job that has shifts that never end. My dried out hands and nails will attest to that.  The Cool Gel N Cap leaves your hands free rather than holding an ice pack against the forehead or boo boo for endless hours. Now you can let the Cool Gel N Cap melt away the pain, not the ice! 

Even more exciting is that you can win your own Cool Gel N Cap too. Enter my Rafflecopter giveaway right now and good luck! a Rafflecopter giveaway

A non toxic Solution to laundry? Soap Nuts liquid laundry detergent Review #GVP



The past few years I have been converting things around my home and in our life.  What kinds of converting IS Glamamama doing, you are probably thinking.  I have been changing over to organic and less processed foods and cleaning products.  I just feel like it is healthier for my family and I sleep better at night.  I recently had the opportunity to try out a new non toxic laundry product from Green Virgin products called Soap Nuts.  It sounds kind of nutty but soap nuts have been used for thousands of years in Asia and even by Native Americans.  The use of soap nuts was actually one of the most ancient cleaning methods but it is super effective and as green as you can get. Who knows why we started using all these chemically enhanced cleaning agents when we have an effective green option like this.

The drupes (also known as soap nuts) contain saponins which are a natural surfactant or cleaner. Green Virgin extracts this natural soap called saponin from the soap nuts and combines it with water to create a 100% non toxic laundry detergent. It sounds kind of wacky but a small 8 oz bottle does 120 loads!  That saves a lot of money.  I tried it out with several different loads of clothes including towels, whites and colors.  My clothes came out very soft and I didn't even use any fabric softener. My husband really loved that Soap Nuts is hypoallergenic and didn't irritate his skin. The net negative carbon footprint is an added bonus.

Soap Nuts would be a great option for anyone that wants to use a non-toxic laundry soap or  natural detergent.  It is a great alternative to the commercially based chemical detergents out there in the stores.  I think it would be a great option if you have babies or small children too because it is hypoallergenic and fragrance free. Good for anyone with sensitive skin or people like my husband who cannot tolerate any scent. He just loved the unscented clean that Soap Nuts provided for our sheets and towels. Every load of laundry came out very clean, soft and fresh. I would even use it for more delicate fabrics like silk and wool in cold water too. I prefer washing my dresses and blouses for work versus dry cleaning so Soap Nuts would be my first choice. A few of my friends have used cloth diapers and this would be great to get them clean and odor free without any irritating scent or chemicals.

Magnetic Screen Door by iGotTech Review #magneticscreendoor



Magnetic screen doors are not all alike. You can totally see the difference from one brand to another. Some have tough, heavy mesh construction....but not all.  That is one of the first things that I looked for when I was shopping around.  You want to prevent those mosquitos and biting buggies from getting in but you need solid construction to keep them out. IGotTech has a magnetic screen door that will send you to nirvana when you see it.

This #1 rated Best Screen Door has magnetic magic build right into the screen from top to bottom and you can see it. Take a peek at the video below and you will see.  The full 83" height is stacked with twenty-six (26!!) powerful magnets.  These strong magnets are completely buried in the reinforced adjoining edges too.  No worries about them breaking or falling off either.  If you follow the instructions and install it correctly you won't have any gaps and no gaps so what that means to you is that no bugs get in.  No bugs, no bugs, no bugs. Who in the world doesn't like the sound of that? Only the bugs I think (lol)!


The entire fram of the iGotTech Best Screen is lined with reinforced velcro. It is like a velcro mile that no other screen door has.  There is super-heavy duty velcro around every inch along the top and both sides.  They even include additional support nails to prevent any mishaps and NO chance of bugs, at least inside your house.
