Get Football Savvy with The Modern Girl's Guide to the Gridiron! + Giveaway

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**


About the book:
With player contributions and hard-hitting, outside the box, witty, and vivid explanations, The Modern Girls’ Guide to the Gridiron is a comprehensive guide to all things football for women. Whether you’re a novice fan, or a seasoned veteran, this book is sure to amp your arsenal of football knowledge — the best accessory you could wear on Game Day.

Written by sports journalist Vanessa-Franchesca “VF” CastroThe Modern Girl’s Guide to the Gridiron is an easy-to-read crash course on the ins and outs of football—rules, terminology, traditions, and history of the game—perfect for any mother wanting to connect with her sports-minded kids or husband.

“It’s written for women and encompasses everything from finance to fashion,” says Castro of the book, which while light on tone is not lax on the research that went into it or the facts presented. “I wanted to deliver the information with intensity, while keeping it as ‘to the point’ as possible,” Castro added, “So the majority of research was dissecting game film, interviews, conversations with athletes and field work.”


Football continues to grow in popularity—more people watched this year's Super Bowl than any other program in United States television history (114.4 million viewers!). While the NFL season is over, The Modern Girl’s Guide to Gridiron is the perfect read to catch moms up before football starts again in the summer.


What we thought:
We are avid football fans around here and even though I already know quite about about the game, I can't claim to know all there is:)  This book will be instrumental in teaching me everything I ever wanted to know about what is, in my opinion, the greatest game ever!  Castro lays it all out there in an easy to read and easy to understand format with lots of diagrams and illustrations.  This book would be great for those who know nothing about the game and those who have been fans for years.  I've been watching football for over 30 years and I learn something new with each chapter!  I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to learn more about football.  I figure, what better way to spend the off season than by learning more about the game, right?

**Complimentary products received in exchange for our honest review.  All opinions are ours and ours alone**

We recently had the chance to review several handmade products from Udderly Naked:



Udderly Naked is best known for their extensive line of 100% natural goat milk soaps.  We were able to review a $20 Gift Set which allowed us to try out 3 awesome bars of soap: Camo Clean, Sunshine Soap and Loofah Soap, 2 lip balms: CocoaMint and Orangesicle and a medium hard lotion in Lavender.  When you order your gift set, you get to personalize it and choose whichever scents you like best for each product.



The soaps we reviewed were awesome!  They all smelled amazing and left our skin feeling smooth and clean without drying it out.  I love that these soaps a re great for the whole family!  They are full of all sorts of goodness like healthy oils and herbs and other ingredients that help to keep your skin looking and feeling great!  My favorite soap was the Loofah Soap.  An amazingly aromatic pink soap is poured around a loofah sponge and sliced into soap rounds that fit perfectly in your hand.  As you use the soap, the loofah helps to scrub of dead skin and feels awesome!

The lip balms were great for the kiddos' chapped lips.  They are smooth and creamy, not waxy, and really work wonders on dried, chapped lips.

The hard lotion was fantastic as well.  I am a huge fan of hard lotion.  I find that these lotion bars help moisturized dry, cracked skin better than traditional liquid lotions.  I love using the soothing lavender-scented bar on my heels.  It will be instrumental in getting my feet back in flip-flop shape just in time for the warmer weather!

Udderly Naked is your one-stop shop for 100% natural body products and they offer a great selection of scents to choose from.
