New Moon Monday
We'll be seeing footage from New Moon soon!! Here is an official statement from Eonline
"I can exclusively reveal that footage from the Twilight sequel will be shown for the first time during the upcoming MTV Movie Awards,
And that's not all—it gets better...
Awards show producer Mark Burnett says Patzz, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner will hit the stage together to present the clip."
Nikki Reid (Rosalie) just celebrated her 21st birthday! Am I the only one who thought she was older than that?
Sometime early this week the updated New Moon official movie poster is set to be revealed. It hasn't been shown yet, but as soon as I see it I'll be updating this post, so stay tuned!
Twilight is nominated for a slew of MTV movie awards. Don't forget to vote HERE!
One TwiHard has given her love for RPatz a permenant place in her life... unless of course she later covers it with some uber cool dragon or something. Would you take it this far?

DreamSacks {Giveaway!} Ends 5/29
DreamSacks Bamboo Dreams has some of the best bamboo cloth offerings out there. From jammies, to baby clothes, to bedding everything in their line is soft, supple, and luxurious! I have the Cleo pajamas, and not only are they made of cloud soft material, but they are super comfy. And the Cleo design in particular is great for women in any phase, even pregnancy!
How did DreamSacks come to be? Owner Nancy and Larry Morgan traveled overseas a great deal and wanted to have their own bedding with them. Silk seemed like a great option since it was lightweight and compact and that is where it all began. From silk sheets DreamSacks has branched out to include nightwear, yoga clothing, accessories, and childrens items.
If you're looking for a sustainable fabric to build your up your linen closet or swaddle your baby in, DreamSacks is the place to go. And speaking of swaddling, one Grab Bag reader is going to win a white woven baby blanket! The blanket is 36" x 36" and comes in 6 crisp colors.
100% Viscose from Bamboo
Pesticide free and made from a sustainable and renewable resource.

Over the years, Patrice has expanded the Child to Cherish collection to include the finest unique, yet functional children’s keepsake and gift offerings in the industry. Each item in the collection is developed to capture precious moments in time.

Then, along came an email from Little Painted Polka Dots. As I perused their collection I stopped short when I came to the baby section and saw the birth plaques I knew right away that I wanted - no needed - to order one. It is a different material, different size, and different color than the first plaque I had made, but it just as gorgeous!
It is painted on sturdy wood, with beautiful pain colors. The words are all hand painted and done with care. I am in love, and so thankful that both of my boys have these. Should we have another child I will definitely be getting another birth plaque from Little Painted Polka Dots!

SinuCleanse Kid's Mist {Giveaway!} Ends 5/15
For the kids there is the Kid's Mist from SinuCleanse. Here is a little bit more about the SinuCleanse line.
"Nasal washing (also known as nasal irrigation or jala neti) is a personal hygiene practice that involves flooding the nasal cavity with warm saline solution (salt water). This soothing action removes excess mucus and moisturizes the nasal cavity.
The SinuCleanse® system offers an effective, all-natural way to cleanse the nose and help control sinus and nasal symptoms over time. It promotes and maintains sinonasal health by treating the root cause of the problem, rather than just treating the symptoms.
The 100% all-natural saline solution used with the SinuCleanse® system soothes on contact and provides safe and immediate sinus relief. It is completely natural and contains no harmful additives, such as preservatives, anti-caking agents, or iodine, which are commonly found in most saline solutions. Because of this, the SinuCleanse® system can be used as often as needed to manage and prevent sinus congestion.
Because SinuCleanse® in 100% all natural, with no preservatives, the SinuCleanse® system can be used as a complement to current sinus medication and even help intensify the effectiveness of sinus medication.
Both the SinuCleanse® Neti Pot and the SinuCleanse® Squeeze™ bottle can be used for adults and children as young as age 4 and 5. SinuCleanse® Kids Mist™ is the best solution for infants to children up to 12 years old who are resistant to the SinuCleanse® Neti Pot or SinuCleanse® Squeeze™ use.
For continual healthy sinuses, SinuCleanse® should be used at least once daily as part of one's personal hygiene regimen. Learn more about the health benefits of nasal cleansing with SinuCleanse®."
And how was the SinuCleanse system developed?
"Diane G. Heatley, M.D., leading sinus expert and developer of the SinuCleanse® nasal wash system, practices pediatric otolaryngology in Madison, Wisconsin, where she has served as Associate Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine since 1993.
In 1995, a co-worker who was studying yoga introduced the neti pot nasal wash to Dr. Heatley. Intrigued, she began using it in her ear, nose and throat practice and now recommends it nearly every day to both children and adults who suffer from sinus disease.
Traditionally, neti pots are made of ceramic or glass. These tend to break, particularly when used by children whose hands are slippery with water and who drop them in unforgiving locations like the bathroom sink. To address this, Dr. Heatley helped develop the SinuCleanse® system – an unbreakable plastic version of the traditional yoga nasal washing pot, complete with prepackaged with instructions for use and dry ingredient packets to mix a safe and comfortable irrigating solution. In 1997, Dr. Heatley and Dave Gallo founded Madison, Wisconsin-based Med-Systems, Inc. where she currently serves as president."
With the new Swine Flu epedemic/pandemic that is now sweeping the planet, these are handy to keep aorund for preventative nasal washing and used as treatment once you have an illness.
A lucky reader is going to get their own Kid's Mist SinuCleanse system! This includes a 3 week supply Ultra-Fine saline mister and three .5oz pre-mixed, preservative free saline solution vials.
How To Enter: Go to the SinuCleanse website and tell me something about the line that I didn't mention here. {THIS IS MANDATORY TO ENTER AS IS INCLUDING YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS}

Not only does no calorie water serve to replace the all of those nasty carbonated and sugary beverages, but it also helps to curb your appetite. Next time you want to munch before mealtime, grab an 8oz glass of water, wait 20 minutes, and see how you feel.

"The HydraCoach hydration monitor is a revolutionary interactive fluid measurement device that automatically calculates, monitors and provides instant feedback on fluid consumption for athletes, medical professionals and other health conscious individuals. Determined by a users weight and duration of exercise (sport version), the product will generate a personal hydration goal for the day. The monitor can be further adjusted manually in the setup mode to accommodate other known hydration factors (i.e. intensity of exercise, heat, altitude, pregnancy, etc...) to meet each user's specific hydration needs, or the recommendation of one's coach or other nutrition expert. Visit our Hydration Calculator page to generate your recommended fluid intake during exercise and for the day based on your level of exertion.
By addressing the unique and individual needs of all users, HydraCoach hydration monitors provide numerous far-reaching benefits. Understanding the ill-effects of both dehydration and over-hydration (hyponatremia), serious athletes to casual outdoor enthusiasts alike will find the monitor will help ensure "proper hydration" during exercise thereby elevating and sustaining performance levels. Health care providers are able to more closely monitor a patient’s compliance to their prescribed health program in order to help aid in recovery. Dietitians and spa technicians can design custom hydration plans to better suit their clients and more effectively track their progress. A sample list of other uses may include:
Athletes | Coaches | Trainers |
Nutritionists | Doctors | Exercise Physiologists |
Hiking | Backpacking | Soccer |
Running | Cycling | Mountain Biking |
Special Forces | Military | Elderly |
Health Club | Weight Loss | Day Spa |

The HydraCoach is a dynamic tool that promotes daily hydration to virtually anyone interested in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This versatile device features a detachable head unit that can be used with any compatible HydraCoach system.
