Disclosure: This review and giveaway was made possible by Double Duty Divas and Mamma Chia. I was compensated for my participation in this campaign, but all opinions are 100% mine.
Until recently, I had never heard of Mamma Chia. I didn't even know what it was until I was introduced. A brand just for us ladies! Just what I need! I am a busy bee. My daughter Lydia gets up at 7AM, I then start housework and do my blogging. I also go pick her up from school at 2:40PM. I wait in the line until 3:30 PM and that is when we get home. We do our homework while eating a snack and by 5:00 PM, she is headed off to Softball Practice! By time I do all of that, I need a boost! Mamma Chia provides sustained energy to power your soul’s purpose. I was introduced to these Chia Squeeze Vitality Snacks and they are amazing!
Check out the back story- It started on a small farm in rural San Diego, where Mamma Chia founder and CEO, Janie Hoffman, in her quest to find an ideal diet for her own health, fell in love with the magic of chia. Janie quickly discovered this amazing little seed was providing a powerful vitality boost and was instrumental in addressing some challenging health issues related to longstanding autoimmune disorders. In the summer of 2009, fueled by her passion for chia and her commitment to be of service to humanity and the planet, Janie founded Mamma Chia — the first organic, chia-based food and beverage company. Leave it up to an awesome woman to create something this amaaazzingg!  If you are wondering- there are six flavors in the Organic Chia Squeeze Drinks. Flavors consist of Apple Cinnamon, Blackberry Bliss, Mango Coconut.
 There is also Wild Raspberry, Strawberry Bananas and Green Magic.
 Check it out! Every pouch has 1,200 mg of Omega 3's! The equivalent to eating a single serving of salmon. They also have 4g of Fiber (25% of your daily intake), 2g compete protein, 70 calories per pouch (Mango Coconut has 80), AND it is 1 PointsPlus on Weight Watchers! How cool is that! Best of all,  Each pouch retails for $1.79! Completely inexpensive if you ask me. My favorite flavor is Blackberry Bliss!
 The texture is something that you will have to get used to. At first it is a slimy taste. I will just compare it to when you eat the inside of a tomato. Chia Squeeze Vitality Snacks are Organic Certified and Non-GMO Verified too! Who doesn't love that?!
There are some other products that Mamma Chia has to offer as well! Organic Vitality Beverages! They contain Mamma Chia Vitality Beverages pair the highest quality organic chia seeds with delicious organic fruit juices and is lightly sweetened with a touch of organic agave nectar. The pleasing appearance of the chia seeds suspended throughout the beverage adds a compelling quality full of heart and brain-healthy Omega-3s, powerful antioxidants and dietary fibers, as well as complete protein, calcium and magnesium. Combined, these nutrients create a vital force that delivers the power to live the life you’ve always wanted. I received 9 coupons to score these drinks! Can't wait to try them too! You can score these for the MSRP of $2.99.
 They also offer Organic Chia Seeds and their newest Organic Clean Energy Drink! The Mamma Chia Clean Energy Vitality Beverages are coming in September 2014! They are the FIRST Chia- based energy drink! Mamma Chia Vitality + Energy organic beverages combine the powerful nutrients of chia with the pure, clean energy of Guayusa and refreshing organic fruit juices. The result is a delicious beverage that delivers 2500 mg of Omega-3s, 90 mg of natural caffeine (about as much in an 8 oz. cup of coffee), twice the antioxidants of a cup of green tea, along with fiber and protein. Stay tuned and be on the lookout for them! 
Where can you find these products? You can find them at any major retailers nationwide including Whole Foods, Target and most grocer retailers. Overall, I love the products that I received!

I love fun clothing for my daughter. I love stuff that  looks different and out of the ordinary. It gives her a chance to express herself.! With LittleMissMatched, my daughter can express herself and have fun doing it! I love that they  have socks, tops, dresses, bottoms, baby items, loungewear shoes and more! They also have a variety of sizes. Check out their awesome story below:
LittleMissMatched started with a very simple mission: Build a girls' clothing brand that is FUN, inspires CREATIVITY, embraces individual STYLE and CELEBRATES SELF EXPRESSION.
In the LittleMissMatched World, matching is mundane, but mixing patterns and colors is monumentally cool. Our girls' clothing line started with colorful girls' socks sold in packs of three, and then we realized that there's a whole world of girls who share our passion for showing our creativity and self expression through our clothes. We may have started with socks, but now the LittleMissMatched line includes bold girls' clothing and beauty accessories, colorful bedding, sporty arm and leg warmers, and awesome backpacks, handbags and slippers. Be bold and think outside the socks. Fashion is fun!
Go crazy with your creativity, be as MissMatched as you wanna be...but most of all, let YOU be YOU!
They have so many items on their website but I was drawn to a particular one. Fall is about here and Lydia needed a new hoodie! I found a super cute one for her to review!  She chose a sequin hoodie.
 I love the fun colors! The little sequins flip and she has plenty of room. It is a tad big, but she will grow into it!
 As you can tell, she loves it too! Silly girl!
 The Flip It Sequin Hoodie is 100% Cotton and is available on the LittleMissMatched website for only $49. I do think it is a tad high of a price but for the quality and my daughters happiness, it is worth it.  It is also available in XS-XL! Overall, we are thrilled with the product we received! Another couple of cute ones I plan to buy and stuff in her stocking this Christmas are these scented socks! HOW CUTE?!

Recently, I had the opportunity to work with a great company for a review! I wanted to make a few shirts for my daughter and I. She is now playing softball and I thought this was a great fit for us! I have always wanted "Mother/Daughter" shirts anyways! Spreadshirt is the worldwide creative platform for custom t-shirts, custom hoodies and other personalized apparel. I customized these shirts recently. I have to say that I am in love! 
 They gave me the option to choose my size and color of the shirts. They also have options for the style. You can use their designs or make your own. I chose to make my own with my computer program.
 Since Lydia is playing Softball. I chose to make shirts that said "Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend" With a baseball diamond in the middle and our names on the back! Completely cute if you ask me!
 Of course I had to put "Lydia's Mom" on the back of mine!
 When we tried our shirts on, they were a bit bug but shrunk when we washed them, so they now fit perfectly! I love the quality of the shirts. They are not cheap at all! I also had the chance to make some buttons for Lydia's games!
These are so cute and I will be sporting them for each game! Spreadshirt offers more than just shirts, you can make cell phone cases, hoodies, bags, hats and more too! The total cost for these two shirts and the buttons would have been $57.50. I don't think that is a bad price, considering that I made it all and was able to customize them to my liking! 
You can also sell on Spreadshirt! You upload your design, and you make $ when every person that buys something with your design on it! Pretty cool huh? Visit Spreadshirt via the link in the beginning of this post to learn more! You can find them on their social media below too! 
Win it: One lucky reader is going to win a $25 code to customize their own product at Spreadshirt! This code also gives you FREE standard shipping!
