Miss Nibbit is a cute little shop that I found on Etsy! Miss Nibbit started her shop along with her mother and sisters after planning lots of Weddings, Parties and Showers. They have been creating personalized party favors on their shop since June 2010, that are very modern and unique. Although Miss Nibbit's Shop does not offer that much of a selection, what she does offer is very high quality and sure to please guests! Weather you are lookin for boys or girls favors, she has something to offer both genders.
Miss Nibbit was kind enough to send me a jar of her Elmo Playdough, personalized with my son and nephews name. The Elmo Jar contained a big ball of bright red Play dough in it! I wasn't expecting the jar to be so large, so when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised! The label on the jar really made the favor! I personalized the message on the label to read "Thanks You for coming to Jr. & Aiden's 1st Birthday" party dough.
The lid on the jar was very wide which made it easy for little fingers and hands to open. The dough inside the jar is some of the most softest play dough i have ever had my hands on! The Red color of the dough fit perfectly with the label and the "Elmo" theme. My son had tons of fun molding the dough into sculptures and provided lots of fun play time! These favors make perfect party favors for parties and moms and dads are sure to love them! They last so much longer than candy and do not contribute to harming your little ones teeth!
Each label can be personalized with the following information:
Birthday Child's Name.
Age of the Birthday Child or the Occasion you are Celebrating.
Names of your Guests*
Play Dough Color Preference.
The favors come in sets of ten for $50 and you have your choice between the following themes: Princess, Rock Star, Dinosaur, Race Car, Bounce Party, Robot, Airplane, and some other great themes too! If you choose, you can order empty jars which will run you about $27.50, Plus Shipping and Handling Charges. She will be adding more favors so if there is not anything that interests you right now be sure to check her shop at a later time, as she will soon be adding more products.

I recently had the opportunity to review Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil is a food, and one of the best! It is made in the Phillipeans by families who are coconut farmers and use methods that have been used for thousand of years. Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil is produced by hand, using a wet milling process to extract the oil from fresh coconuts. They use coconuts that are Fresh, usually within 24-48 hours of harvest from small family farms on Mt. Banahaw and rural places in Quezon Province. They do not mass produce the oil.
The Video below discusses how they found this unique oil.
When i first received the Coconut oil i noticed it came in a 32 ounce jar and the coconut oil was a pearly white color. I read the jar and it said they use only the highest quality of organic coconuts and are hand selected, making them one of the best brands there are available. I loved the fact that it is not necessary to store the oil in the refridgerator and it has a two year shelf life. The oil will solidify in temperatures under 76 degrees Farenheight, if you would like to reliquify it you must put it in a pan of warm water . It smells just like fresh coconuts and is not to mild nor strong scented.
The first use i used it for was Cooking. I found some Free recipes using Coconut Oil at http://freecoconutrecipes.com/. Some of the FREE recipes that they offer are:
Hot Cocoa Coconut Oil Recipe
Coconut Cream Sweet Potato Bake Recipe
Black and White Toasted Coconut Fudge Recipe
Coconut Macaroons Recipe
Frozen Banana Cream Pie Coconut Oil Recipe
Soft Pretzels Recipe
I tried the Hot Cocoa Coconut Oil Recipe and i was surprised by how delicious it tasted! It really transformed my plain hot cocoa into a tasty drink. I was surprised by how much added flavor it gave my hot cocoa.
Another use for Coconut oil is using it in your hair. Here are both of the suggested uses: To use on Dry Scalp:
Rub into hair and scalp atleast 30 minutes before showering or before bed at night. Be sure to wear a towel or shower cap at night to protect your bedding. To use as a Hair Conditioner:
Rub onto the ends of your hair after washing while the hair is still wet. Apply as needed, working towards the scalp. It can also be used as a pre-wash hair treatment. Apply just before showering. It is excellent on all hair types.
I used it on my sons dry scalp and by the morning i noticed his head was less dry. I also used a little bit in my hair and it provided extra softness and shine.
