Build-A-Bear Workshop Review and Giveaway!


I am so very excited to share these super adorable stuffed animals from Build-A-Bear with all of you. Build-A-Bear has truly outdone themselves this Holiday season with all the festive new Limited Edition stuffed animals. I am such a big kid and have always loved Build-A-Bear. Before my daughter was born I went out and made 3 different bears for her, unfortunately she hasn't had the opportunity to experience Build-A-Bear for herself yet. I am still extremely excited to share these new editions to the Build-A-Bear family with her and I'm sure she'll adore them as will you!
The first one we'll talk about is the limited edition Merry Mint Pup which runs around $20. My favorite thing about the Merry Mint Pup is her ears. The insides of her ears are a soft red fabric with little peppermints and white polka dots. How cute is that?! (See picture below) Merry Mint Pup came dressed in a satin red and white ruffled dress covered in stripes and polka dots with matching red and white striped shoes, bows, and bloomers. She also came with a mint scented bone which actually smells pretty minty! Other options for the Merry Mint Pup include a stripes & dots leash and collar and a red and white puppy bed. 
The next bear we received from Build-A-Bear was the Limited Edition Christmas Cookie Bear ($20) that came with a vanilla scented sugar cookie. This adorable Christmas Cookie Bear is a sugar cookie color with red and green sprinkled all over her body. She came fully dressed in a candy cane tulle skirt outfit, a red and white striped bow, and red and white striped shoes. The candy cane tulle outfit has red and green sparkly stars all over the tulle part with a red satin hem. The shirt has the word "Sweet" written on it,candy canes in the shape of a heart, and little red and green heart shaped gems surrounding the candy canes.  
These stuffed animals from Build-A-Bear are a great addition to our family! Merry Mint Pup and Christmas Cookie Bear are both are extremely soft and cuddly with minty green eyes. I fell in love with both as soon as I opened the classic Build-A-Bear boxes and I know my daughter will as well. Build-A-Bear has many other festive animals this season and all can be purchased in stores or online. Clothing and accessories are purchased separately but make sure you sign up for their emails so you don't miss a coupon or deal.

Herbal Essence Naked Volume Collection

**I received this item for the purpose of a review. I was in no way compensated for my opinion as they are my own. Your opinion may vary from mine.** Herbal Essence has a new collection out called the Naked Collection Volume. Obviously I was intrigued by this because naked to me means no crazy chemicals and my hair loves products like those. I used to have very thick and healthy hair but it has thinned out dramatically since I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease over 5 years ago. Nowadays, my hair is very picky about the products I use. I wouldn't say it's damaged, it actually looks and feels pretty healthy, but it goes flat and becomes greasy quick because of how thin it is. Because of the autoimmune disease I have, I like to watch what kind of chemicals my body comes in contact with. Anything is mess up the balance in a compromised immune system. Needless to say, I was excited to learn more about the Naked Volume Collection by Herbal Essence.  The naked Naked
