Braidin Review and Giveaway


Welcome to the Braidin Giveaway! 


Sponsored By: Braidin.com
Hosted By: MarksvilleandMe

I am very thankful for the chance to review a new to me and much needed product. Recently a new little baby entered our family, my grand-daughter. AlainaMarie Faith Ortiz but we call her Lainy for short. Below you can see her trying it out for the very first time.


You might be asking "What is a Braidin?" Well let me tell you a little about it. First of all it is super soft, easy as pie to use, pleasing to the eyes, and has multiple purposes, with the main use being to protect the clothing you are wearing.
As you can see from my pictures below I found quite a few ways to use it myself.

For Babies you have a nice soft protector for both your own clothes and for anyone else who wold like to hold your child, or in my case grand children. It protects everyone who holds the baby from the spit up the cute bundle of joy will certainly baptize everyone with, and it also protects the baby from scents such as perfumes and smoke, not to mention any pins, buttons, or zippers from poking and upsetting the beautiful babies time with you.

Want to get a Unique Baby Shower Gift? This might be just what you have been looking for.


Some uses for adults would be to protect your clothing while applying makeup, hair styling aides, or even when you dye your hair at home. Our girls have that hair chalk and the Braidin does a great job of catching all of the dust from the chalks as the hair is done.


Another great use would be a cover for while you are eating. My husband always says I can dress you up but I can't take you out because if it happens to be a place to eat, I almost always drop food on my clothing. I have many shirts that have been ruined over the years. Wish I had a Braidin years ago, would have saved me lots of money.

How about while brushing your teeth?

Braidin Adult Green swirl/Peach
retails for 34.99

As you can see this is quite large and has a printed side like the picture above and a solid side like you see in the picture below.

What designs would like to see on a Braidin? 

  Personally I would love to see the Braidin done in Leopard/Brown or Zebra/Red, boy would I be in Heaven, the bright colors would also be good for children.


Just was looking at the above photo and a super hero cape came to mind.

What would you use your Braidin for?

This product is great from birth and beyond and maybe even further. 

Did I mention that this product is Hand Made in the USA by a women? Well it is. Something we can be proud to say is from America while supporting women who are making a better place for everyone. 

I really don't have anything bad to say about the Braidin other then wanting more designs, and the reality of not thinking of this myself. 

I hope that you will take a chance to win one of your very own Braidins and try it out for yourself.

Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash Review and Giveaway


NEW Dial® Vitamin Boost Body Wash gives your skin a daily boost of vitamins. The advanced formula contains a moisturizing Vitamin Complex, which helps draw moisture directly to your skin leaving your skin feeling so healthy and soft, people can't help but notice! 

I really love getting products to review, but I love it even more when I can have a giveaway so that my readers can take a chance to try it themselves for free.

This is how my sample arrived.


A full size product to use much better then a tiny sample. This means I get to try it several times so that I can let you all know how I liked it after a few uses.


Here you can see what was in my kit. I shared one with a friend but have two just for my readers. You will find the giveaway below.


Here it is ready for use in the shower.


Bright green on my pink poof.


I have to say that even after my first use I noticed a difference in the feel of  my skin which has been dry with this long cold winter we have had, but with continued use I noticed it improve even more.The smell is great and it lathers up quite well.  I am sold on this product and hope to stock up on more when I get the chance. 

I found this to be a great product for someone like myself  who just does not take the time to use lotion to moisturize my skin regularly, also I have Fibromyalgia which keeps me from being able to flex enough to reach all of the places I need to moisturize. With this body wash I don't have to worry. it moisturizes as it is rinsed from my body in the spots I can't reach depending on my pain level for day.

Lotion infused with Vitamin B helps draw in moisture for hydrated skin, how much easier can it be? Make sure you also keep Nutrition at the top of your list every day for not only a healthier you but also for Healthy Skin.



The only downside for me is that I have only scene this scent in the store. I would love for them to come up with more with the same moisturizing benefits. 



If you have tried this let me know how you feel about it below.

Oh yes the giveaway. 

MarksvilleandMe wishes everyone who enters Good Luck!
