Mom Central received a complimentary hair appointment in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
Moving to a new city presents many exciting challenges, and my move to Boston in February followed suit. Some challenges are immediate and others reveal themselves as time goes on. For example, immediately it was clear that I had no idea how to navigate the Boston streets. It took me a week to figure out which roads to take to work and then a week on top of that to actually get in the right lanes on said roads. Finding a new hair salon falls into the second category, revealing itself as a latent challenge or a moment of clarity when you finally realize there’s no possible way to style your hair without your roots looking beyond neglected.

Mom Central received the Gaiam Capri Cami Unitard in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
Yoga proves incredibly calming at the end of a long day. Stretching, breathing, and moving all help to release the stress from the week that cause our bodies to tense up.
The Capri Cami Unitard from Gaiam offers shape-hugging attire that’s both comfortable and functionally flexible. Special eco-friendly wicking material works to keep the body cool and dry, even during the most strenuous of workouts. Because the Capri Cami Unitard remains close to the body, you won’t need to worry about a shirt slip up or sagging athletic pants. Designed to move with you from pose to pose, this unitard also provides support and is sag-resistant.

Mom Central received a Steamboy T2 in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
While the weather outside may not entirely feel like it, I’ve begun to feel spring fever thrusting me into cleaning mode. However, I’m almost always deterred from the idea of cleaning to achieve a sparkling home when I get a whiff of the potent cleaning products used today alongside many popular cleaning devices.
Looking for a way to clean without the aggravating smells? The Steamboy T2 from Reliable boasts chemical-free cleaning that only uses water. A steamer and a sweeper, the T2 uses washable microfiber pads that whisk away dirt and debris.
The T2, equipped with 3.3 cups of water capacity, allows for 30 minutes of continuous steam cleaning. And what’s best, you can sanitize floors and carpeting without the use of harsh chemicals, not to mention the money you’ll save from not having to purchase these potent products.

Mom Central received vouchers for Good Tastes Mac and Cheese in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
As moms we try to find balance in every aspect of our lives. Between our kids’ schedules, household tasks and maintaining our own sanity, we often find very little time for ourselves. We often forget that the personal rewards and little indulgences brighten our day and can remind us that we are adults who enjoy the finer things every once in a while, even if only for dinner.
A departure from our kid’s favorite-boxed version, Good Tastes Mac and Cheese appeals to our more sophisticated palette with varieties such as Brie and Fig, Four Cheese, Bacon and Shallot and Wild Mushroom. Baked in the oven for a perfect crispy crust, Good Tastes’ cheesy filling transports us from our hectic lives for a few moments of pure indulgence.

Mom Central received a Totally Bamboo Lettuce Knife in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
In attending the Home and Housewares show many innovations were on display, but one caught my eye - a gorgeous, bamboo Lettuce Knife from Totally Bamboo.
We’ve seen bamboo make its way into our flooring, fabrics, and furniture—and now, into our kitchens through beautifully crafted utensils and cutting boards.
I’m not one to cut my lettuce, preferring hand-torn salads instead, but love the beautiful design of the Totally Bamboo Lettuce Knife. I’ll gladly display this gorgeous knife in my kitchen.

Mom Central received sample Piggy Paint products in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
When Piggy Paint sent over their Color Me Happy Gift Set, I couldn’t have been more excited to try it out! You see, I have a four-year-old daughter who loves having her nails painted. That said, she still sucks her finger when she sleeps and can’t quite kick the habit. I always worry about nail polish on her fingers and what risks that might cause. I’d even started not painting that finger, so she wouldn’t ingest any nail polish.
Enter Piggy Paint, the perfect solution! Their nail polish is non-toxic, water-based and is specially formulated of natural ingredients. It’s free of formaldehyde, toluene, phthalates, biphenyl A, ethyl acetate and acetone. Phew!

Mom Central received sample Trudeau products in order to facilitate this review. The views expressed here are entirely our own.
There are some products you see that you never knew you needed until you do – then it’s tough to imagine life without them! Trudeau, a designer and supplier of housewares products, creates many of these such never before known necessities! Trudeau products fall within the main categories of kitchen gadgets, mills and spices, wine and bar, on-the-go, and coffee and tea – all of which are of interest to me, especially if a company comes up with unique, creative ways to simplify and enhance process and presentation.
