Rainbow Swirlz Review & 40 dollars Gift Card Giveaway -- ENDED

I love shopping at etsy stores because I can find so many things that are unique and cute. I recently had the pleasure to team up with Rainbow Swirlz and I am super excited to bring you this review and giveaway. Rainbow Swirlz is owned by Mendy, who is a wife and a mom. Her store has been around for 6 years now and it is full of products with the most adorable prints on them.

One of the things I really love about her shop is that once you pick a print and a product you like, more often than not, you can personalized it by picking your own color too. For example, I received this cute owl messenger bag to review. Mendy offers this canvas messenger bag in 5 different colors, so I was able to request for it in crunch berry (a very pretty pink color). Although you can certainly use this bag for school or work, I found it just the right size as a diaper bag. Another product I received to review was this cute scarf. I also requested for it in pink. I know, you must be thinking, "Why is she reviewing a scarf in the middle of the summer?" Well, I can assure you there is a good reason for this :). You see, the scarf is actually very light weight, it is super soft, made of t-shirt like material. It is actually perfect for those night strolls we take in the summer time -- when I need a something to keep me warm, but nothing too heavy because it is summer time after all. Furthermore, I just love the robot print on it. DD loves it too, she has been asking me to share my scarf with her. Too bad that it is too long for a preschooler-- ok, too bad for her, but good for me ;).

I love the products I received to review from Rainbow Swirlz and I will definitely shop there in the future. To buy the products I received to review and to check out other cute products offered by the company, please visit Rainbow Swirlz's etsy store.

Many thanks to Rainbow Swirlz. The etsy shop has generously offered a $40 gift card as a giveaway prize to one of my lucky readers (US residents only please).
