WeeEssentials Review & Giveaway

***Comments are now closed and winner will be announced Friday, March 26th.***

In case you didn't already know, I L.O.V.E. Etsy!  I love being able to buy unique, handmade things for my family and as gifts.  I am so excited to be able to share that love through a review and giveaway from one of my favorite Etsy shops.

I discovered WeeEssentials through Twitter and entered in Candice's giveaway for a free starter set of mama cloth.  I was so excited to find out I had won her giveaway and even more excited when I received my prize.  It was fun to work with her to design my own custom starter set and she was super sweet to include a custom wet bag I purchased along with my prize to save on shipping.

Medium/Regular Flow Pads

Pantyliners

Heavy Flow/Overnight Pad

I have used these several times already (thanks to the fact that my cycles return just 5 weeks after having a baby) and I LOVE them!  I would never go back to disposable pads.  These are much more comfortable and I love that I can just throw them in the wash with my diaper laundry.  I hate buying things that I'm just going to end up throwing away. 

Cloth Nursing Pads

The next thing I ordered from Candice were some nursing pads.  I loved the fabric choices and had been searching for a good reusable nursing pad.  These were great for at home, but, depending on the shirt I was wearing, didn't always work for out and about.  They are very comfortable though, so a great option for day to day.

Soap Bits

My very favorite product of Wee Essentials are Soap Bits.  I received some samples with one of my orders and fell in love with them as an easy way to make cloth wipe solution.  I was making my own cloth wipe solution, but I was always running behind.  The Soap Bits make it super easy, because all I have to do is heat up some water and add one or two soap bits to the mix.  Sometimes I'll add a drop or two of tea tree oil or coconut oil when V's diaper rash is really bad.  Soap Bits have been a lifesaver for me and, when Candice ran a free shipping sale, I ordered a huge supply of Soap Bits.   Besides cloth wipe solution, you can use Soap Bits for pre washing cloth pads, one time use guest soap, foaming cleanser, travel wash, replacement for harsh public restroom soap, or kids' bath soap. I wish I'd had these when each of my kids were in the hospital, because my hands were so dry and raw after washing them so often each time we entered the NICU.

Natural Lip Balm

Candice was super sweet to send me some natural lip balm to review: Orange Chocolate Truffle and Sinus Relief Balm.  I haven't tried the Sinus Relief Balm since we've all been healthy for a while now, but I LOVE the Orange Chocolate Truffle.  There's just something about the smell of chocolate that instantly makes me happy!  I also love that these lip balms are made with a natural balm base and essential or flavor oils.  Candice says, "I've chosen many oils known for their healing properties and similarity to human oils, sweetened the deal with some beeswax as an emollient (to smooth and soften), and then added yummy scented essential or flavor oils!" 

Candice is also offering one of my readers a $15 gift certificate to Wee Essentials to stock up on some of her wonderful products for yourself.  (Thank you, Candice!)  To enter, simply leave a comment about what you would stock up on if you win.
