Must-Have Summer Sling- A Giveaway! *Updated With Winner!

The very first sling I ever bought was a mama-made black ring sling from KimzKreations on ebay. And to this day it is still my favorite. I have worn Gray in that sling since he was one day old. You can see a picture of it in my big babywearing post here. I am not sure if it is the sentimentality of it or the fact that it is my most comfortable one, all worn-in and such, it just has been an awesome sling that I got for $15 on ebay way back when you could still get a sling that inexpensive!

And what's even more awesome is that I developed a little email to email relationship with Kim, who made it for me. It's been about 2 years now since my first purchase from her. I did buy another one, then she even sent me one as a gift just because she is that sweet. Recently she's been making Solarveil ring slings (and sent me one, too- again- she's so sweet!)

This is my first Solarveil sling. Solarveil blocks the UVA and UVB rays while keeping you cool and comfortable. There is no other fabric available with the same unique features. In rigorous laboratory testing, a single layer of Solarveil blocks 75% to 80% of UVA and UVB rays, and a double layer blocks 92% to 95%. This level of protection maintains when the fabric is wet or dry. Solarveil also has excellent wicking properties, which is the ability to pull perspiration away from the skin. This, combined with the open knit construction that allows air to easily pass through the fabric which rapidly evaporates moisture, creates an air conditioning effect keeping the wearer cool. You can read more about Solarveil Sun Protection here.

I've found that the fabric is quite comfortable- especially in the hot weather, and the rings hold very well without having to be re-adjusted. The tail allows you to drape over your child to give them extra protection, if needed. I am excited to use this when we go to a little pool party tomorrow!

It's a perfect sling for summer and I want you to have one! Kim from KimzKreations is giving away a Solarveil ring sling of your choice! You pick the color and the rings you want- a $40 value!
