Whooo Wants to Win a Build-A-Bear Owl?*


My little girl has loved Build-A-Bear for forever, so when she received a huge box at the door from them the other day, words cannot describe her excitement (she has a birthday coming up this Friday, too, so the timing was perfect).

Inside the cute cardboard house was the brand new, snowy white Owl!



There was also a 3-D Scavenger Hunt Map with 3-D glasses with a special code to use online in Build-A-Bearville. And Natalie cannot get enough of both the owl and the hunt!

Not only is the owl fluffy and cuddly, but it has a head that spins all the way around, a feature which Natalie found very cool. She's been taking her new owl friend, whom she has dubbed "Owlen" (uniquely pronounced "Oh-lin" though), everywhere with her and sleeps with it at night.

I have to say this is one of my own favorite Build-A-Bear creatures. The speckled "fur" looks like real feathers and the "beak" is so adorable.

The owl sells for $18 online, but you can win a $25 gift card to use on the owl, or toward any other purchase at Build-A-Bear, right here!

Add Handsoap to Your Home's Decor with Softsoap® ENSEMBLES™

In my home, hand washing is a must. As soon as my kids come in the door, they know that the first place they have to stop is the sink to wash their hands. So, as you can image, we go through a LOT of hand soap.

I usually have those regular, clear bottles by the sink, but recently, I was given the chance to review new Softsoap® ENSEMBLES™.



Softsoap® ENSEMBLES™ is more than just hand soap. The bottles come in four gorgeous designs to add a simple and affordable style upgrade to any room with a sink. When the bottle is empty, you simply save the pump and switch out the base for a whole new look!

The bottles are logo-free and blend right in with your decor. The soap itself smells amazing and as someone with dry, sensitive skin, I love its moisturizing properties. Most of all, I'm happy that I don't have to sacrifice on style anymore. The purple "Fresh Scent" bottle blended right in my master bathroom and the green "Fresh Scent" bottle looked beautiful in my powder room.

Softsoap recently outfitted a Manhattan loft with ENSEMBLES™ and some complimentary accessories to show you just what you can do for your home with these trendy bottles:



The suggested retail price for a starter pump is $5.99 and the replacement disposable base retails for $2.99. Click here to visit Softsoap's website. (as of this writing, you can click a link at the bottom of the page for a $2.00 coupon)
