Lovable Labels Review & Giveaway!

I was contacted earlier this spring to review an awesome Camp Pack from Lovable Labels. The pack included:

• 15 Sticker Labels
• 40 Slimline Labels
• 12 Shoe Labels
• 72 Press n' Stick Clothing DOTS™
• 2 Mini-Metal Tags {two 4” silver ball chains incld}
• 12 Square Labels

And, I was able to choose which design I thought my daughter would most enjoy. I was very impressed when the pack arrived. It seemed like A LOT of stuff! Between school, the babysitter’s house, gymnastics, swim class, tee-ball, my kids are in a lot of activities and take a lot of stuff a lot of places. So, this was perfect!

Now, I can label all of my daughter’s belongings, with cute tags! I am especially excited about the clothing dots and shoe labels. She really loved the mini-metal tags, which are perfect for her backpack. The labels are all high-quality and really stay put.

This product is valued at $44.95 before taxes and shipping and seems to be worth every penny, to me. My daughter is already asking to label all of her kindergarten supplies for next fall!

In addition to providing me with a pack to review, Lovable Labels has graciously allowed me to giveaway a Camp Pack to one lucky Market Mommy winner!

Business of the Week:: A New You is Waiting

By Pamela Howard

Are you a busy mom who focuses on everyone and everything but yourself?  Do you feel worn out? Overwhelmed?  Feel like life is passing you by and there HAS to be more to it?  Trust me, I know how you feel - I've been there and so have most of my clients!  Today's culture expects women to be everything to everyone and since that's just not possible, we end up feeling stressed out and unhappy which leads to unhealthy habits.

Let me help you make simple, meaningful changes that will improve your life!  As a Holistic Health Coach, I look at the whole picture of health and nutrition and work with each client individually to help them create the vibrant, healthy and happy life they deserve to live.   Right now, I'm offering a free one on one health consultation where we'll spend almost an hour talking about your health, your life and your struggles, and how we can work together to make positive changes that will last!  Get ready to increase your energy, lose a little weight and feel fantastic about your life!

When was the last time you talked with someone about your health and received the personal attention you deserve? 

It’s rare for anyone to get an hour to work on their nutrition and goals with a trained professional. As a Health Coach, I create a supportive environment that will enable you to achieve all of your health goals. I have studied all the major dietary theories and use practical lifestyle coaching methods to guide you in discovering which approach works best for you.

Most approaches to nutrition dwell on calories, carbs, fats, proteins. Instead of creating lists of restrictions and good and bad foods, I coach my clients to create a happy, healthy life in a way that is flexible, fun and free of denial and discipline.

No one diet works for everyone. I will guide you to find the food and lifestyle choices that best support you. I will also help you to make gradual, lifelong changes that enable you to reach your current and future health goals.

Could one conversation change your life? We can work by phone, Skype or in person.  Schedule a free initial consultation with me today!
