From the day my boys were born we have been loyal to Pampers diapers. While we tried a couple of other brands they just didn’t work for us and we’ve never looked back. Did you know that Pampers has come out with brand new technology called Dry Max? With it Pamper’s has created their driest and thinnest diaper ever, meant to lock wetness up to 12 hours! (I know, crazy right?) With 20% less bulk, softer outer cover, tapered design and the much adored Sesame Street characters, what is not to love?

About the Dry Max Technology:

• Dry Max describes the new “engine” or core of Cruisers and Swaddlers diapers.
• It allows for the removal of the airfelt (“paper pulp”) found in current Swaddlers and Cruisers, resulting in a thinner and less bulky core. Currently, Pampers is the only brand with this technology on the market.
• The thinner core is enabled by the new Absorbent Gelling Material (AGM), removing the need for airfelt. The AGM is more permeable, meaning it locks wetness in faster than previous AGM.

While we were already very happy with Pampers, we certainly love the new Pampers with Dry Max. I noticed right away that my 2 year old’s diaper was much lighter in the mornings and we’ve been able to longer between diaper changes because he stays so dry. I also love that they are less bulky!  If you have bypassed Pampers in the past because of fit issues or perhaps leaks I encourage you to try them out again. You can even request a Pampers free sample.

Buy it: Pampers with Dry Max starting hitting store shelves this month so be on the lookout for them where ever Pampers diapers are currently sold.

With the less bulky appeal of new Pampers Dry Max, this Liz Lange clutch created exclusively for Pampers is just the thing for moms who want to reduce the bulkiness of cumbersome diaper bags. So how would you like to win it?

Disclosure: I received the a 1 week sample of diapers for the purposes of this review but no other type of compensation was received. This has no bearing on my completely honest review above. The opinions and experiences I’ve shared with these products are my own and yours may differ.

MyEARTH360 began from a mother’s concern over the amount of waste generated at her son’s school from a water bottle policy and extra curricular activities. She took it upon herself to create a campaign featuring kid friendly reusable water bottles featuring the mantra,  I Count for My Earth. The program has been a hit in getting the green message to kids and became the starting block for myEarth360. Visit I Count for My Earth to find out more about this green campaign for schools.

MyEARTH360 has plenty of eco friendly handbags to choose from and every red and green bag sold will plant a tree! l got the chance to check out the English Retreads Cruiser. If you aren’t already familiar with the company English Retreads, these bags are actually made from used inner tubes supplied by truck stops. They are fashionable, extremely durable and oh so easy on your conscious knowing your bag is made from re-purposed material.

The cruiser is a smaller sized bag that easily fits your essentials but you won’t be weighed down with a lot extra. My favorite features is how comfortably it fits on my shoulder the overall trendy look.  Because of what this bag is made of, I’m sure it comes as no surprise that there are no extra pockets or organization within the bag although there is a sturdy snap in the center to keep your contents inside.  Because it doesn’t hold a lot I found it wasn’t as necessary anyway.

The English Retreads Cruiser is the perfect bag for day or night and is sure to draw attention!  To keep it looking new, simply clean it with Armor All or other car cleaner. If you like this, be sure to check out the other English Retreads bags available at MyEARTH360.

If you are looking for an everyday bag this ecoist Jute Handbag might be just the thing for you! Would you believe this modern and simplistic quilted bag is made from vegetable fiber and hand dyed in 100% vegetable products? I didn’t even know that was possible!

Check out this bright and fun green ecoist Diva Clutch. Wouldn’t this be perfect for a night on the town or just dinner with friends? You’ll find two different sized weaves which create this sleek look! It is actually handmade from recycled wrappers and food packages. Can you believe it? This clutch features a magnetic close and is self lined.

DISCOUNT: Receive a 15% discount at MyEARTH360 by entering BABYLOVING at checkout! Any of the handbags available from MyEARTH360 would make a great gift for the environmentally conscious diva in your life. But hurry, this offer expires November 25th.

This contest will end on 11/11/09 at 11:59 pm CST. U.S. and Canada residents only. The winner will be drawn via random.org. The winner will have 72 hours to respond to winning notification email before I draw another winner or do a live giveaway.

Disclosure: I received a sample for the purpose of this review . This has no bearing on my completely honest review above and was not influenced by any type of monetary compensation. The opinions and experiences I’ve shared with these products are my own and yours may differ.

If you’ve been following me a while then you know I’ve had the pleasure of working with Handbag Heaven in the past. I’m absolutely thrilled to be able to showcase their bags again. What girl wouldn’t enjoy pursuing through this eye candy of a website to choose some bags to share and pick one to review? For a bag lover like me I am in absolute heaven looking at all the different types of bags they offer from hobo bags to shoulder bags to clutches. It’s ALL GOOD and it’s all affordable!

Some of their hot styles now include this Carmela City Bag which is available in so many fabulous colors including this green along with bronze, pewter grey and black.

I’m also eying up the wonderful display of colors available for this Melie Bianco Pleated Tote which include teal blue, orange, green and yellow. Gorgeous!

And if you need a bag that brings out your wild side, your animal instincts, why not try this red Elsie Python Drawstring Tote?

So while I’m talking about all the fabulous colors available, you might wonder why I chose this absolutely fabulous looking Stephanie Belted Bag in a very neutral stone grey. The truth? I wanted this bag in the B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L teal color it was originally available in. Unfortunately in just a short period of time others noticed how fabulous this bag is as well and they sold out! While it broke my heart, the Stephanie Bag in stone grey is wonderfully neutral yet still has a ton of personality. And would you believe that this color is now sold out too? So if you are eying this bag up you will need to act fast as it is currently only available in black.

What sold me on this bag (besides the fun belt) are the two pockets up front. I have a hard time grabbing at keys and my cell phone when they are inside the purse and I’m holding  my little boy at the same time. I hate to dig around and these pockets are just the right size to place my quick grab items. Another nice feature is the zippered compartment in the interior of the bag which also acts to create three very separate spaces. Anything that gives me some more organization is always a bonus.

Overall I love the look and feel of my new bag. It fits nicely on my shoulder and I know it will go with virtually anything in my wardrobe! What’s not to love?

You also must check out the Handbag Heaven blog. They are running a contest to give away 3 bags right now. (Hurry, this ends on October 28th!) You can also find fun posts about fashion and keep up on the latest hot styles on Handbag Heaven.
