HALO’s Bassinest Swivel Sleeper + SleepSack® Giveaway

1111

There are the classic items that you need to have when you are expecting a baby, and with time some of those products get improved. For example, the bassinet has evoloved over time; the material it’s made from (wicker, metal, plastic, etc), the mobility, the settings (music/vibrations).

And this Summer (2014) HALO is introducing the breakthrough design of the Bassinest Swivel Sleeper. The cool thing about the Bassinest Swivel Sleeper is that it rotates a full 360 degrees from two different pivot points. This means that you can pull it into the bed next to you and also rotate it circularly, making it easy for you to angle it as needed, which also makes it easier for you to get in and out of bed.

The first month when Luna was sleeping in her bassinet I never felt close enough, eventhough her bassinet was right beside my bed. I had to sit up and touch her because it was uncomfortable for my arms if I was laying down and reaching in. I  know I’m not the only mom who was always popping my head up and leaning over into the bassinet to make sure that baby was breathing…right?! With lack of sleep, I often felt like a zombie rolling out of bed when I had to get up to get her out of the bassinet for feeds/diaper changes. Hehehe.

Imagine not having to do any of that? Well, it’s possible now with the Bassinest Swivel Sleeper. The unique design allows baby to be closer to you while providing both convenience and safety. The mesh walls provide maximum visibility, allowing baby to be at eye level with you while in bed. Another unique feature is that the mesh walls are retractable, which means that you can easily lower the wall closest to you, allowing you to reach in and soothe baby quickly while still being in bed. It’s convenient and comfortable, not only for baby, but mom too! You don’t have to get out of bed to tend to baby.

Here is a link to a video that shows the Bassinest Swivel Sleeper in action:

The Bassinest also has some other unique features like a nursing timer, nightlight, soothing nature and womb sounds, music and gentle vibration. It is designed for babies from birth to 30 pounds or five months of age. The Bassinest  is available this Summer (2014).

I would love to hear what you think about HALO’s Bassinest Swivel Sleeper?

After Hours Parade: Handmade Pop Culture Shrine/Nicho Magnet Giveaway

Frances is the creative brains and hands behind After Hours Parade, an Etsy shop that sell handmade Pop Culture Shrine/Nicho Magnets. After Hours Parade is what happens when love for art and Pop Culture merges with Frances’ love of Mexican folklore. Considering Frances first etsy shop (Il*Mostro) is dedicated to character robots, its no surprise that Pop Culture strikes again for her second shop.  
This time around, her Cultural roots are a bit more in play. As an avid fan of everything Dia De Los Muertos stands for, Frances decided to take this new project in a similar direction — this time pairing skeletons with some of our favourite, beloved Pop icons encased in their own little vivid sparkly shrines. It’s simply Pop Culture… immortalized!

Frances is going to giveaway ONE Pop Culture shrine of YOUR CHOICE to ONE NOTM reader!! ^.^

Lo-Fi Nomad + Giveaway

Good morning, today I want to introduce you to the amazing husband and wife team behind the indie shop, LoFi Nomad, Becky and Graham. Like all of the interviews on my blog, this one is truly inspiring! Read the brief interview and get to know a little bit about how this couple and their shop, LoFi Nomad.
  1. How did you and your husband decided to start LoFi Nomad? Three and a half years ago we started our travel blog GlobalGrasshopper.com, my husband takes the photos and I write about our experiences, the more we travelled the more people started asking about our photography. We were even lucky enough to gain to a few award nominations along the way. After a few Jack Daniels and cokes in a Los Angeles bar we decided we decided to turn our favourite travel photos into products, we came up with a brand name and Lo-Fi Nomad was born. The range combines our love of abstract and lo-fidelity style photography and travel.
  2.  How would you describe your style (your art)? We have a love of retro, vintage inspired photography so we wanted to give the range that kind of feel. We also use bright abstract style shots as these always look good when printed.
  3. What inspires you and how do you keep yourself motivated? Travelling to new places always inspires us and we find beauty in every place we travel. Thinking about what we can discover on our next venture and striving for the next set of beautiful photos is what mostly keeps us going.
  4. What is your creative process? My husband takes hundreds of shots from each destination and then we both spend hours sorting through them. The most powerful and emotive images always stand out by themselves so they are the ones we look to use on our products. Although saying this that they don’t always translate well onto to products! Some of my favourite images just didn’t look good enough when printed so sadly we had to leave them out. A lot of trial and error is involved.
  5. What do you enjoy most about creating your pieces? When an image you really hoped would look good does and it fits perfectly onto the product, it’s actually quite a rare moment if and when it happens it’s easily the most enjoyable part of the process.
  6. Any words of advice/tips for people who want to express their creativity, but don’t know how? The actual idea is often the most difficult part, so work hard on getting this right. Take inspiration from the beauty in the world around you whether it’s from nature, landscapes or urban areas. Once you have your idea stick to it, work hard and everything else will fall into place.

Becky and Graham would like to giveaway one Pacific Cove MakeUp Bag to one NOTM reader!

Ilaments Day of the Dead Sugar Skull Hoop Earrings Giveaway

My friend Lisa Rocha created Ilaments, a jewelry line that is inspired by her Mexican and Native American cultures. “Ila“, which happens to be Lisa’s middle name means “one who takes on challenges” in Hopi. Some of Ilaments pieces have a misplaced bead, which symbolizes our imperfections and reminds us that we are not perfect like the Creator. 

Each Ilaments piece is soft, romantic and edgy at the same time, making it a key accessory that can brighten up any outfit! Lisa has been kind enough to offer a pair of Day of the Dead sugar skull hoop earrings (pictured below),  to one Nina on the Moon reader. 

Giveaway is INTERNATIONAL and closes on January 31st, midnight PST. Winner will be announced on Nina on the Moon Facebook.

Aveeno Pure Renewal #Etyy

During the Winter I try to take extra care of my long locks and what better way than to do it with a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner! Aveeno’s new collection: Pure Renewal shampoo, conditioner and 2-in-1 aims to renewing your hair with each wash. 


The Pure Renewal line is great because it is sulfate free, which means it is free of sodium lauryl sulfate. This is a good thing because SLS is found in product ranging from shampoo- floor cleaner-degreasers! Eek, not healthy at all! SLS can cause your hair to thin.


After using Aveeno’s Pure Renewal shampoo and conditioner, I realized that my hair was moisturized and shiny, thanks to the natural seaweed extracts. 


Have you tried Aveeno’s Pure Renewal collection?
