The Products
Svaha’s Rainbow Ginkgo Leaves Radia Dress
This had to go on the top of my list because it’s without exaggeration when I say that I receive several compliments EVERY TIME I’ve worn this dress. The Svaha’s Rainbow Ginkgo Leaves Radia Dress isn’t just a fashion statement — it’s a celebration of STEAM themes with a splash of vibrant ginkgo leaves. Perfect for those who love to mix science with style, it features deep pockets (because who doesn’t love pockets?) and uses eco-friendly practices. It’s the perfect ensemble for turning heads at summer picnics or twirling around your living room.
Nugget Comfort Koala Play Couch
The Nugget isn’t just a couch; it’s the Swiss Army knife of children’s furniture! What’s not to love about a furniture piece that can transform from a fort to a slide into a sleepover bed? It’s like the gift that keeps giving — especially when you realize it buys you an extra hour of sleep on weekends. And for the tots, it’s not just fun; it’s a ninja course for developing their motor skills and imagination! My sons immediately built a little fort with theirs in the basement that entertained them for hours as they hid from the world.
Paradise Feathers
Summer is the season of weddings, graduations, and endless photo ops. Enter Paradise Feathers with their Shard Hoop Collection made from Brazilian Red Aragonite — because nothing says “I’m ready for a garden party” like earrings that outshine the garden itself. Sophistication? Check. Bold charm? Double check. I wore them out one night to an event, and what I particularly liked about them (other than all of the compliments I received) was how they were both eye-catching and light on the ear lobes. They are truly unique and made me feel like I was hip (which is no small feat for this lady!) I’m definitely a fan!
EEASY Lid
Ever felt like you needed a workout session just to open a jar of pickles? Well, struggle no more! The EEASY Lid makes jar-opening easy as pie. With a simple press, twist, and pop, even the kids can get in on the cooking action without worrying about flying pickles. It’s a small win for your wrists and a big win for your kitchen efficiency.
Sandy Doll
Meet Sandy, the doll that doubles as a sand pail. Why am I obsessed? Because it’s like having Mary Poppins in your beach bag! Sandy can hold toys, sand, or even bubble solution — transforming from a doll to a utility player in your beach day lineup. Plus, with Sandy’s upcoming sailor buddy, your kids can start their own seaside saga!
Hushh 2® Sleep Sound Machine
If you’ve ever tried to get a toddler to sleep through a fireworks display, you’ll understand why the Hushh 2® is a game-changer. This portable sound machine brings the zzz’s with upgraded features that include a nightlight and buttons you can actually find in the dark — because who has time to fumble around when sleep is on the line? It’s also been a “must-pack” when we’ve gone on vacation to help my sons and I sleep even in a hotel room.
Deluvia Miracle Aloe Cream
After a day in the sun, your skin screams for some TLC, and the Deluvia Miracle Aloe Cream is like a hydrating hug for your body. Enriched with Aloe and vitamins, it soothes faster than you can say “ sunburn, “ Let’s be honest: it feels like a luxury spa treatment without the hefty price tag. Dry skin, be gone!

It’s more than an instrument; it’s a laugh riot. Whether you’re serenading a significant other with its “wah” effects or just amusing yourself, the Otamatone offers a symphony of fun.
