TOO GOOD™ by Jenny McCarthy - I MET Jenny!


In between getting our Holiday Buying Guide finalized, moderating entries, and writing, I snuck away last week to attend a press conference in conjunction with the launch of TOO GOOD™ by Jenny! I was invited by the lovely ladies at myworkbutterfly.com, I love their tagline 'For Moms Who Want to Spread Their Wings'. Me being a lover of all things butterfly and a huge advocate for everyone spreading their wings, I couldn't resist! While I prep the next surprise in our holiday buying guide, I thought I'd share my experience about the event with you! You can also read the blog post from myworkbutterfly.com called 'Jenny McCarthy is TOO GOOD™ this Holiday!'

Jenny McCarthy in conjunction with her partners at PEM America as well as the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association have launched a line of NON-TOXIC products for baby called TOO GOOD™ by Jenny McCarthy. Jenny has evolved and transformed quite a bit throughout the years (much like a butterfly!) and became known as a 'warrior mom' after her books 'Louder Than Words' and 'Mother Warriors' were released and she appeared on Oprah speaking about the challenges she faced after her son Evan was diagnosed with Autism. You can read an excerpt from Mother Warriors on Oprah's Website HERE.

Her son's diagnosis fueled her to do extensive research on therapies, support groups and the existing products on the market. She now runs the  Autism Organization - Generation Rescue and devotes a large part of her time to the organization where she does NOT draw a salary and instead makes sure the funds she raises go to help support families with autistic children and the medical care expenses they face. Care that averages more per year than the average family earns in a year! It is estimated that the average family earns $50,000 per year, and treatment costs approximately $80,000 per year!

There is extensive research on the links between autistic children and seizures. A concern that Jenny shares with the many parents of infants with autism. A concern she decided to help address with her new line of baby goods that uses materials that are non-toxic, 100% recyclable, and PVC free. The line includes a wide selection of bedding, bath textiles, cotton sheets, blankets, rugs, hampers, room decor, and newborn gift sets, with prices ranging from $16.99 for fitted sheets to $179 for a nine piece bedding set. When she went shopping for Evan's Nursery she specifically had trouble finding materials that were non toxic, breathable and also stylish. Her drive to find items that were affordable, stylish and still kept the specialized needs of her son in mind is what drove her to partner with PEM America on this line where a portion of the proceeds will go to Generation Rescue.

I don't have the time or space to feature the entire collection in this post, but I am hoping to be able to work with her team to bring you guys something special soon, in the interim, I did want to be sure to feature the collection that does have butterflies! I know I'm a bit biased, but hey, this is a butterfly loving blog! The Love Bug Collection pictured below has butterflies!

Love Bug Collection

I MET Jenny! After the Press conference, there was a meet and greet with Jenny and she was very open, warm and welcoming and made it a point to greet everyone as if we were long time friends being welcomed to her home. She liked the way I was 'rocking that ponytail' and here I am laughing just as the picture was taken!

Ascending Butterfly Holidays Buying Guide 2010, Sixteenth Giveaway sponsored by:




This holiday season has had me hopping and working harder than ever. Because of that, I've really been working hard to make my home especially my bedroom a zone of tranquility. I've finally got the bed thing down (but that's a post for another day!), and you know how important I think bedding is. And better still how important pillows are!

I sleep something akin to a Tornado. Which means there will be some time on my side, some on my back, and mostly on my stomach. If you are anything like me, you've learned that the pillow that works well for your sides, may be super uncomfortable for you when you are on your stomach. Stomach sleepers usually do have a harder time finding a pillow that works well for them. I should know, I'm one of them!

You guys all know I'm pretty particular about bedding, and our last sponsor certainly set the bar high!

400 Thread Count Sheet Set with RestAssured Easy-Fit Corner Pockets 



400 Thread Count flat sheet, fitted sheet and two standard pillow cases. Available in Classic White or Soothing Ivory.


Features

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Unique sheet-corner design

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - 100 percent Egyptian single-ply cotton

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Fits any mattress up to 18" deep

Benefits

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Fitted sheet guaranteed to fit snuggly, meaning less time making the bed

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Provides a luxurious sense of comfort

Cool Aire Memory Foam Pillow


Cool Aire Memory Foam Pillow

Features

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Specially designed air flow channels

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Ergonomic design

Benefits

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Provides a cooler sleep

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ - Relieves pressure from neck and head, allowing a more comfortable rest
West Bay Bed



While I couldn't convince them to let me review this headboard and footboard, I just had to feature it, because I Love it so much!

My Take:

I really love the cool aire pillows! People tend to toss and turn at night looking for the cool spot, this pillow IS the cool spot! I'd say I love it best for back and side sleeping, and I really love to stack them both up on top of one another when reading in bed! Hide these from the hubby ladies, he WILL steal them or get him his own set because you will want to keep them both trust me. If you are a stomach sleeper like me, these work best with your head closer to the edge than smack dab in the middle for some reason.

I haven't washed the sheet set enough yet to speak of long term durability, so far I am very happy with them. I love Egyptian Cotton and I chose them in white, there is just something about fresh, crisp white sheets, it's a year round favorite for me!

I have definitely been enjoying creating my bedroom oasis, and highly recommend Leggett & Platt for your bedding needs!

Ascending Butterfly's Mothers Day Buying Guide Pick Sponsored by:

Sweet dreams start with healthy sleep!

Pollen season has all my friends and family feeling sluggish, and the thing that would help the most, is the one thing that eludes them with all the sneezing due to their allergies, REST. Sleep is elusive when you are sneezing incessantly and tossing  and turning! I myself have allergies and am asthmatic; dust, pollen, mold spores are big triggers for me and throughout the years the season that is supposed to be the happiest for me,  Spring, (because it's my birthday season), usually ended up being the time of year when I rested the least. Up sneezing and wheezing with allergies.

This year I sympathize with friends and family (and colleagues) who are suffering with their allergies and not getting enough rest. Notice I said 'Sympathize' because this year thankfully I can no longer 'empathize' at least while I'm indoors. The late night sneeze fest has ended for me thanks to my new pillows, pillow encasements and mattress encasement from the very nice (and patient) folks at CleanRest®.com.

As many of you remember I asked for your votes last year in the Simmon's Beautyrest contest. I am super happy to FINALLY be able to share officially that I won! Thank you dear readers, friends and family for your votes and your support. There was a delay in delivery and this resulted in a delay in me being able to review the CleanRest® items that I received.

I'm happy to say everything has been resolved and I have finally had the opportunity to test out what have now become a 'must have' item for me. Because I was receiving a new bed,  I knew it was time for a room makeover, (and I don't just mean the esthetics!); I wanted to sweep out all my old stuff including old pillows. We all know that pillows absorb germs from our skin and the air, they become a breeding ground for mold, bacteria and dust mites, but what many people don't know is that pillows can be a hotbed for germs, even more so than the bathroom! Join me in a collective 'Yuck' and an 'Ewww!'

I don't want to scare you or keep you at night, but the very brave and intrepid among you who really want to be grossed out with more in depth stats about whats crawling around on your bed and pillows can check out  sources which include: www.fabrictech.com, www.allergycontrol.com as well as the National Institutes of Health.

We are kicking off our Mother's day Buying Guide, a list of lovely gifts to tell that special mom in your life just how much you appreciate her! No worries for all of you that have sent us emails, We haven't given up on our daily words of inspiration & motivation at all. We are just putting extra effort into our First Annual Mother's Day Gift Buying Guide. It's been taking up more time than anticipated to put the review & giveaways together, but it's defiintely going to be worth it! We thank CleanRest® for starting us off! And needless to say any of the Spring Bags featured in our 'Spring Into Bags' 2010 Special Feature would make a special gift for that special mom in your life.

About CleanRest®

CleanRest® is Chemical Free. Not only will CleanRest® products protect you from all known allergens, they are 100% chemical free as well. Their products are free of BPA and Lead and contain No VOCs or Phthalates.

As a concerned parent whose child suffered from nighttime breathing difficulties, Gary Goldberg, the inventor of CleanRest®, used three generations of his family’s textile manufacturing background to develop the solution. The result is a fabric with a weave so tiny no allergen or liquid can penetrate it—and so comfortable and breathable, you virtually don’t know it’s there. Even more important, CleanRest® is why Gary and his wife can now rest easy, knowing that their child is sleeping safely!

We have moved our 'Today's Butterfly - Featured Site(s) of the day, which is where we host our giveaways, to the upper right hand side of the page. It will be located here from now on to make entering the giveaways faster and easier. Keep the suggestions coming, remember we also have a NING group with real time chat, you can give us your comments and suggestions in REAL time, how cool is that?

NOTE 2: Twitter followers: please remember you must also follow Ascending Butterfly using Google friends connect on the upper right hand side of the page for your entries to be processed. And remember if your profile does not have an email and you don't leave your email in your entry, we will not accept your entry. Make sure your entry or your profile have your email address!

Just a helpful Reminder: How to Follow Using Google Friends Connect:

Please look to the upper right hand side, where the follower pictures are. (Note the number of followers before you start this process)

1) press the follow button - the google pop up wizard will open, this is not an ad and your pop up blocker will not block it

2) tick the option that reads 'follow this blog publicly' once that button is selected, hit follow again - it should now read 'you are now following'

3) if the follower count went up you know you did it succesfully, if your profile has a picture, that picture will be the first one on the left side. If your profile doesn't have one, it should still be searchable on the members list. (Remember, following a blog, does NOT subscribe you to receive emails, you have to subscribe separately to do that, you will not receive emails for following)

Are you getting the dreaded 'Your Entry Can't Be Processed' message when leaving an entry or comment? Before hitting enter, highlight your comment and COPY it. If you get that message after hitting enter and your comment is still there, just ignore the message and hit enter again, then you will get a screen with a captcha code, enter the captcha code, then submit and VOILA. If after you hit the submit button the first time, you get the dreaded message and the comment 'disappeared' no worries, that's why I asked you to copy it in the first step. Paste it back in and submit again. This has worked for me when comment boxes have glitched on me, and I hope it helps you too!
