Cute Kids Clothes From Pinkalicious #FirstLook My Thoughts

Some time back, about a month or so ago, I was contacted by the team of a kids' clothing brand called Pinkalicious.

While I do a lot of clothing reviews, lookbooks and hauls for myself, I am very wary when it comes to clothes for my kids. In many instances, the material or fabric is not that good as it seems on the images, or the fit may not be good, and many brands do not give enough importance to small details such as the accessories used, the zips and buttons used and so on,

I told the team my concern and they were quick to inform me that I would not be unhappy. Also, they were very specific in understanding my kids' age and specifics, so that they could send me the clothes accordingly.

When I went on to their social media page, I saw a lot of styles that were really eye-catching. One of the things I needed to go by was the colour, as both my daughters are only always obsessed with the colour pink. But I also wanted to deviate a bit and experiment.

So the team suggested a few designs, and here is what I absolutely loved by the first look itself.

This is what I absolutely loved for my 3 year old. It is a little long in length, but I can still make her wear it and the best part is that it will last her a long time. The pinks and reds, along with the golden makes it for a gorgeous party dress, great for parties and weddings.

Again, my elder one does not have many non-pink clothes, and this gorgeous bright yellow tee was just perfect for a 9 year old. Also, the fact that it has a really gorgeous pink stone encrusted crown on it made it super cool.

The fabric is really soft, which is not the case in most party dresses. I am not really sure what it is but it is something that my daughter was happy to wear, it did not irritate her skin.

The zari at the border of the dress matches the one on the dupatta. Also, I am happy that it is stitched in such a way that it will not directly touch my child's skin, and not make her itchy.

The lining is made of cotton, which protects the material from directly touching the skin and does not cause any itching. This is always one of the first things I check when I am buying any fancy clothes for my kids. So this is a HUGE PLUS for me.

The zipper detail is also very good and sturdy.

The fabric of the tee is breathable, and my daughter has already started wearing it, waiting for a special occasion was too much for her :) I soooo love this crown detail. And for a change, she looooved the yellow colour!

The collar of the tee has a bright print fabric in the inner lining, which adds a lovely contrast to the overall look. I like the idea of these small yet important details.

Here are all the details you will need to get in touch with them.

The team also sent along these super cute accessories to go along with the younger one's red and pink dress, and I can't say how much she loves wearing them and feeling like a princess :)

Fun Fact About The Brand

The idea behind Pinkalicious was the dire need of a mother to find an exclusive dress for her daughter's 5th birthday party! From 1 dress and design, it soon turned into multiples!!

Today, the brand is up to work on any style and design that you want to specifically create for your little princess or prince.

You can shop for their designs at FirstCry and Little Muffet

Our First Flintobox 3-4 Years: First Look And Details On How To Subscribe

Some weeks back I was contacted by this very sweet person called Hariharan from Flintobox. The mail came in good time, as I happened to see some digital ad about the same around that time, but I had no idea what it was about.

So when I asked more about the concept, I realized that it is a super fun monthly subscription box that aims at making education and learning extremely interesting and fun. Of course there are various activities and offers from different brands that have come up with creative boxes for kids, but in this day of subscription boxes, Flintobox did manage to come up with something unique and really interesting.

I couldn't share it earlier but now with the long weekends here, finally managed to open it up and the squeals of delight and the jumps my younger one made around the house was too much to not get excited along with :)

So before I show you what all this month's Flintobox came up with, here are the age groups you can go for:

• 2-3 years
• 3-4 years
• 4-8 years
• 8-10 years
• 10-12 years

AppyStore.In - The Fun Way To Keep Your Little Ones Happy!

These days we are all on a screen.......glued to it, literally. Reading, writing, working, listening, creating - you name it, we do it all on the screen. Go on, Google me up and you will know what I mean.....

Some time back I was contacted by this interesting team that wanted me to check out a new website targeted at toddlers and young kids. Before I proceed, this is not a sponsored post, I have not been paid to write this and nor am I in any way associated with the team...That out of the way, let me tell you what this is about.

If you've been visiting here often, you'll know I have two very cute little monkey babies at home. Well, one is a toddler and the other is a young child. And as they are both babies of the electronic generation, they do know their way around a screen. Which makes it even more difficult for me as a mommy.

No place is safe for our babies any more, and that includes the big bad world of the internet and the wi-fi. I absolutely do not allow my babies any screen time where I am not sitting right next to them and they are watching something. You just have to be doubly sure.

This is exactly the though that made me wonder why should I recommend an online site for kids? Don't we already have enough content overload that needs monitoring? Don't our kids already browse so much that we find it difficult to keep a tab? Then why more?

I decided it would make sense to check out the site first and then decide.

Personalised Baby And Kids Product At MyDoodlez.Com: Online Shopping Review

A few weeks back I got this mail from the team at MyDoodlez.com asking me if I would be interested in trying out anything from their website and talking about it here with you all. To be honest, I am not really an online buyer, and even when I do shop online, its mostly books (actually, make it always books!). So I was a little apprehensive, whether or not it would be a good idea.

But the lovely team assured me that I should definitely try it once. They were kind enough to tell me that it was one option I should try at least once, and if I didn't like it I could always provide them the feedback. Reading this, you may initially think this is a sponsored post, but I assure you it isn't. And though it has been some time that they contacted me and I got the product, I took my time to talk about it. You will see why, later in the post.

I went on their site and I must say they do have a huge range of products. So before I tell you exactly what I got from them, let me tell you a little more about the brand.

Toy Tasting With Yellow Giraffe ! Real Reviews of Toys by Real Moms....A Chat With Richa Dikshit From Yellow Giraffe

So I was quite impressed with the entire concept of the site Yellow Giraffe. It's quite the colourful site that has some really fun and educational toys available online.

This is essentially an online toy store, where you can pick the toys you want for your child and get them home.....

Recently, the team from Yellow Giraffe started an initiative that is all about toy reviews. Called Toy Tasting, it is a toy review channel on YouTube that features real reviews from real moms....

This is something that I feel all parents have been looking for. With retail shifting online, almost all sites have the same review for a product, and most of these are either paid reviews or written quickly by the staff themselves...None of these are real....

So in a quick chat with Richa Dikshit from the site, we talked about how the idea of Toy Tasting came about and what it actually is:

Why was this channel called Toy Tasting created?
