I have an incredible deal to share with you, and it ENDS TOMORROW!
But, first, a little about one of the sponsors and what she'll give you in addition to this deal.
First, Hybrid Rasta Mama's amazing eBook resource, Cooking With Coconut Oil, is offered as part of this incredible bundle. If you do not already own it, this is the perfect opportunity to add it to your cookbook collection as well as support a lovely bloggy friend of mine in the process.
Secondly, if you order through Hybrid Rasta Mama's link, she will be notified and you will receive a SUPER SPECIAL eBook. It will have some amazing recipes that will only be available to those of you who order through her link. No one else will ever have this eBook. Ever. These recipes are all NEW and have not appeared anywhere on her blog or in Cooking With Coconut Oil. All eBooks will be sent via a special download link on January 22, which is a few days after the sale ends.
Third, if you order through her link you will automatically be entered to win something pretty special! It involves coconut oil and essential oils. And it isn’t a book.
Last but not least, if you refer HER LINK to a friend or family member and they purchase the bundle through her link, tell them to let Hybrid Rasta Mama know in the comments. You will then be entered into yet another drawing to win another something special!
Wowzers!

Continuing my holiday weekend round-up of deals and steals for natural parents, here are the Cyber Monday offerings:
Poetry of a Hobo Mama: The First Three Years parenting poetry book

This deal on my book of parenting poetry,
Poetry of a Hobo Mama: The First Three Years,
has never happened before!
For this Thanksgiving weekend ONLY, the price has been reduced to $9.99 with FREE shipping!
Here's how it works — you can buy either from Amazon or directly from me for the same price:
Buy the book at Amazon, where I've reduced the price to $9.99 through Tuesday, November 27. The price is regularly $11.99. The paperback is eligible for FREE Super-Saver Shipping on Amazon orders over $25, so either fill up your cart to get to that level or pay Amazon's shipping fee. (I unfortunately can't provide discount codes on Amazon.)
OR:
Buy directly from me at my CreateSpace author's store. Enter code 4PV6AMYR for $3.59 off each copy, bringing the reduced price down to $6.40 plus shipping. CreateSpace shipping starts at $3.59, so it will be $9.99 with FREE shipping, and each additional copy in the same shipment will be cheaper and cheaper since the shipping decreases per item the more you buy!

Jessicurl is offering our readers a giveaway of a
Light & Luminous Trial-Size Collection, a value of $36.
This haircare collection for finer curls and waves includes six safe and gentle products perfect for wavy and curl hair on adults or little ones! The zippered travel pouch includes a step-by-step instructional insert with tons of tips and techniques to help you get fabulous curl enhancement and definition.
I love Jessicurl products for my wavy hair, and for my young son Mikko's. Jessicurl haircare products are made from positive ingredients that are safe and
natural or naturally derived. They clean hair without stripping the natural oils, and moisturize and style without weighing down the texture. Most significantly, they've made my wavy hair look nearly curly!

My hair on the Jessicurl regimen
I first became aware of Jessicurl haircare when I was
transitioning my own hair from straight to wavy — an intriguing discovery I made when I started treating my hair more gently and ditched harsh shampoos and styling products. It also coincided with the birth of my firstborn, who gave us another delightful surprise: a headful of ringlets.
I needed haircare products that could
care for my baby's curls gently and with a natural look, and also
keep my own hair looking attractive. But I wanted to make sure anything I used was
safe for my baby's sensitive skin and easy on the environment. Jessicurl fit the bill!
Jessicurl recently sent me a
travel-size collection of Light & Luminous products, which is a collection designed specifically for thinner hair that might be weighed down by richer products. This makes it
perfect for a lot of younger kids, who still have that baby-fine hair. (Jessicurl also offers a
Rich & Radiant collection that's more moisturizing, ideal for thicker or coarser hair.)
This collection of 2-ounce bottles in a zippered pouch is
perfect for traveling, as I discovered on
our recent road trip, where I was able to simply toss the pouch into my suitcase and have all my haircare together. I enjoyed trying out the collection, rediscovering favorite products, and sampling new ones. Here's what's included:

Everyday Minerals is offering our readers a giveaway of their
award-winning makeup; specifically, a base ($13), a blush ($6-10), and two eye shadows ($5-$9 each), a total value of up to $41.
Everyday Minerals sells organic, vegan, eco-friendly makeup at an affordable price, and in a variety of colors to flatter every skin tone.
From our reviewer, Lauren B., an NPN volunteer:

Since the birth of my daughter two-and-a-half years ago, I've become a stay-at-home mom and have largely given up on wearing makeup. There was just no need for it on a daily basis, and as I went without, my skin improved and I got used to how I really looked. But recently, I've been wanting to try some light makeup again here and there, and my old stash wasn't cutting it. The Bare Minerals make-up I'd been using, which I'd liked, were now a bit too dark and almost gone; when I looked into ordering more online, I was pretty turned off by the price. I headed to the drugstore to see what sort of natural options there were - very few, as it turns out.
I thought, "what the heck?" and just bought conventional makeup. The Revlon product looked good on, but I could only tolerate it for about 10 minutes before it stung and became uncomfortable. Next I tried an Almay product and that was a lot better, but it still made me a bit tingly and didn't look as nice as the Bare Minerals had. I started looking at the Bare Minerals site again, thinking I'd just have to tolerate the cost, but then this review opportunity appeared and I jumped at it.
Everyday Minerals has just as many color options as Bare Minerals, but with better ingredients
and at half the price. I chose the
Original Glo Base in Linen as my foundation and after describing my coloring, asked them to choose a complementary blush color for me. They sent
Shimmer Blush in Pink Ribbon, which was just perfect. I also received two eye shadows:
In the Garden in Pearl, and
All Spice in Shimmer.
This is a giveaway of an incredible set of mama care products by LuSa Organics:
Mama Massage Oil ($8.75),
Belly Balm ($9.75),
Cranky Pants Essential Oil Blend ($9.10),
Lullaby Soap ($5.50), and
Herbal Lip Balm ($3.35). One lucky reader will receive all five products, making this giveaway's total value $36.45!
From our reviewer, Dionna at Code Name: Mama:
Simply put, I am in love with every single product Rachel sent to me for review. And an added bonus? The 49 products available for review at the EWG Skin Deep Cosmetics Database all score in the 0-2 range. That's a good thing.

A big congratulations to the winner of the
Knickernappies Stackable Menstrual Pad Set giveaway co-sponsored by
Knickernappies and
Fluff Envy — #201!

Julie says:
"I would also love to try their nursing pads!"
This was a
joint giveaway with Natural Parents Network, so entries were combined and one winner drawn. The winner entered at
Hobo Mama Reviews.

The
Knickernappies Stackable Mama Cloth menstrual pad set is made of a waterproof fleece shell with two absorbent microfiber and velour liners, and is a reusable, eco-friendly solution to your period.
If you were not the lucky winner, you can

Knickernappies and
Fluff Envy are offering Hobo Mama readers a giveaway of a
Stackable Menstrual Pad Set! This Knickernappies cloth pad set is made of a waterproof fleece shell with two absorbent microfiber and velour liners, and is a reusable, eco-friendly solution to your period.

I love the Stackable Mama Pads. They're a
unique 3-in-1 system that will fit absorbency needs from pantiliner to regular pad to heavy flow. That way, you can adjust the absorbency throughout your menstrual cycle without having to buy several different pad sizes.
My favorite aspect of the stackable design is that
you can reuse the shell throughout the day as long as it doesn't get soiled,
just swapping out the pad liners as you need them replaced. That means you need only a few shells for your whole cycle, and you can buy extra pads (liners) separately.
One smaller liner works well for light flow. One larger liner is comparable to a standard pad. Snapping on both liners at the same time provides coverage for heavy flow.

A big congratulations to the winner of the
GladRags cloth menstrual pad 3-pack giveaway of a day pad, pantyliner, and night pad — #260!
Sarah says:
"About the company — Their mission is to create healthy products and market with a positive spin. They believe that when you talk about our cycles more openly — with positive images and language — that women can re-define menstruation.
I love that they want to change peoples' perceptions and that they use such positive language and imagery to do it!"

This was a
joint giveaway with Natural Parents Network, so entries were combined and one winner drawn. The winner entered at
Hobo Mama Reviews.
GladRags cloth menstrual pads are made of soft, absorbent cotton and are a reusable, eco-friendly solution to your period.
If you were not the lucky winner, you can
purchase GladRags pads and accessories by using the store locator to find your nearest retail location, such as Whole Foods or Pharmaca, or by
buying directly from GladRags.com online.
And GladRags is offering our readers a
10% discount off all online orders through May 1!

GREEN YOUR PERIOD special event: We are featuring a series of reusable menstrual products for review and giveaway. Go green, no matter what time of the month!
Knickernappies and
Fluff Envy are offering my readers a giveaway of a
Stackable Menstrual Pad Set! This Knickernappies cloth pad set is made of a waterproof fleece shell with two absorbent microfiber and velour liners, and is a reusable, eco-friendly solution to your period.
Knickernappies sent me the same microfiber set plus two extra pad liners for review. I had been using a reusable menstrual cup but with disposable pads and pantyliners as backup, and I was eager to try out greener cloth options.
Knickernappies innovations

I love the idea of the Stackable Mama Pads. They're a
unique 3-in-1 system that will fit absorbency needs from pantiliner to regular pad to heavy flow. That way, you can adjust the absorbency throughout your menstrual cycle without having to buy several different pad sizes.
My favorite aspect of the stackable design is that
you can reuse the shell throughout the day as long as it doesn't get soiled,
just swapping out the pad liners as you need them replaced. That means you need only a few shells for your whole cycle, and you can buy extra pads (liners) separately.
One smaller liner works well for light flow. One larger liner is comparable to a standard pad. Snapping on both liners at the same time provides coverage for heavy flow.
The shells and liners are consistently the same sizes so
any future shells or liners you buy will fit any other set.
The outer shell is very thin, waterproof fleece. The larger pads are made from microfiber, hemp, and cotton/poly velour (76% combed cotton/24% polyester — the polyester is used on the backside as a stabilizer). The smaller pads are microfiber and velour. The soft velour sits against the skin, and the workhorse microfiber is highly absorbent.
The shell with the pad(s) snaps up into a little bundle so you can toss it in a bag or even your pocket (it would be a little bulky there, though!) and take it with you. I doubt anyone would know what it was (unless they actually did know what it was — in which case, they'd just be applauding you for being so dang cool and environmental).
My experiences

Knickernappies set laid out: small pad, large pad, shell. Everything snaps together, and the wings snap under your undies.

GREEN YOUR PERIOD special event: We are featuring a series of reusable menstrual products for review and giveaway. Go green, no matter what time of the month!
GladRags is offering my readers a giveaway of
a sampler 3-pack of cloth menstrual pads: pantyliner, day pad, and overnight pad! GladRags are made of soft, absorbent cotton and are a reusable, eco-friendly solution to your period.
GladRags sent me the same sampler 3-pack for review. I had been using
The DivaCup but disposable pads and pantyliners as backup, and I was eager to try out cloth alternatives.
Switching to cloth
I'm honestly not sure what took me so long. I cloth diapered my son and preferred cloth training pants for him as well — the times we used disposables on trips or in preschool, I had always been struck by how much less comfortable they were, and how they made him more prone to irritation since they were less breathable. But it took me awhile to make the leap to the idea that cloth for
myself might be more comfortable, too!
