Ozeri Review

2012-02-10T13:53:00.000-08:00

Cooking is always a time for us to come together in our house everyone helps out when it is time to cook dinner,One of us pulls everything out, while one starts to cook,our toddler will help hand us eggs,ect it is a great time to spend time together. Recently for a review I received a 8" Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri, with Smooth Ceramic Non-Stick Coating. The pan is Utilizes an ultra-safe ceramic coating derived from nature which is 100% PTFE and PFOA free & features a scratch-resistant 100 percent ceramic coating as found in nature (no heavy metals or chemicals) that is super easy to clean.

This pan works fantastic every dish I have made turns out perfect & cleaning the pan is very easy nothing ever sticks to it. I think my favorite thing I have made in this pan so far is bacon, Why? It comes out perfect it is just the right amount of crispy without being burnt & the grease is easy to drain. This has become our favorite pan to use for a number of reasons,the pan is a great size,it has a large handle making it easy to transport & turn while cooking & the base of the pan is a little thicker to control where the heat sits & slightly raises the pan off of the burner so that the bottom doesn't get ruined I can see owning this pan for a very long time it is sturdy & reliable. I am very happy with this product & would love to own more products from Ozeri including thier Kitchen Scale,Thermo Glassware,& more. Right now on Amazon this product is avalible for $25 & ships for free with Super Saver Shipping I think some of the pan prices are a little high but they are worth paying for a product that works this great! ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Ozeri for the Review free of charge****

Nano Style GIVEAWAY & Review

2012-02-09T20:24:00.000-08:00

Ready for a new giveaway? I have a great giveaway & review from a company called Nanostyle who sells gorgeous Cubic Zirconia Jewelry. For a recent review I received a Heart Cupid cubic zirconia Pendant in Blue-Topaz. Here is the description of the necklace from the Nano style website "Catch your sweetheart with Cupid’s arrow, the god of love and beauty!
Cupid, engraved in shimmering 24 karat gold, is waiting to set his arrow of love free. The Cupid pendant is available in a sparkling range of 8mm round cubic zirconia, a gorgeous choice of clear crystal, blue topaz, light amethyst, opalite or light garnet gemstone pendants. Set in a choice of stunning sterling silver or glimmering 14 karat gold."

I love this necklace it has such gorgeous color to the stone & the heart looks stunning from a distance it looks like just a heart but if you use close or use the small magnifying glass that comes with the necklace then you can see the "Cupid" in the middle. I love some of their other designs as well which include the Rose on cubic zirconia pendant,Taurus Zirconia Pendant,Musical Note Pendant & I Love You in 120 languages Pendant all of which I would love to own. Each pendant comes in a variety of colors so you can pick the perfect one for you. The shipping was fast,packaging was nice,Customer service is friendly & the products are perfect I have been wearing mine almost daily. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by NanoStyle for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****

Hello Canvas Review

2012-02-07T20:34:00.000-08:00

I always enjoy looking for new art,photo frames & decor for my home so I never pass up an opportunity to get a chance at adding something I like to my collection. I was recently offered a chance to review a photo canvas from a company called Hello Canvas.

I was stunned with how fast my canvas arrived I wasn't expecting it to arrive for a few more days I came home from work & found it sitting in my bedroom my fiance had it all set up for me to decide where to place. For my review I received a 24x32 inch canvas print with my choice of photo,I decided on an adorable photo of my daughter at the park, Hello Canvas was very helpful during the ordering process. After the tough decision of what photo to use I sent it in an email for them to print to canvas, The lovely customer service representative named Jessica I worked with emailed me to let me know the image I sent was too small in order for the canvas to come out right I needed to send the original photo [which was on my mothers computer so it took a few days to get], I am very happy with the results.The canvas is sturdy,light weight,& made from thick material to keep your picture safe for years to come. My fiance thought the canvas looked too large at first but after rearranging our living room it fits right in with our other photos & it looks perfect. The ordering process is easy peasy & right now they have two great specials you can get a 12 x 16 Inch canvas for $65 or a 20 x 28 inch canvas for $79 a price that can't be beat for quality this good. I am 150% happy with my experience with this company ordering was easy,customer service is fast + friendly,prices are good & the product is excellent.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Conscious Box Review

2012-02-07T16:57:00.000-08:00

I always love companies that give you a chance to test out a product before you commit to buying a full size,that way you can test the waters to determine if the product is really worth buying instead of buying it just to find out you don't like it which ends up getting wasted. I recently worked with a company called Conscious Box, you may be thinking but what is a Conscious Box? A Conscious Box is a monthly delivery of pure and sustainable products that are handpicked from businesses that care for the planet—just like you.Conscious Box is a monthly subscription service focusing on sustainability, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility. You’ll receive one Conscious Box per month, and you get to choose the plan that works best for you.

For my review I received the January's box which included an assortment of products some of which are as follows: ThinkThin Crunch bar,Eco-dent samples,Parma vegan Parmesan cheese,Golden earth perfume sample,Word centric cutlery plus much more Keep in mind a lot of the products were larger sizes not just sample sizes. I enjoyed opening this kit & finding out what goodies were included it was like opening a Christmas present. Everything was packed well & fit into the box perfectly,shipping was fast & the price is pretty good as well only $19 for one months box [Price includes shipping] I would say that is a pretty good price for a box packed with goodies that are healthy not only for you but the world around you. I think these boxes would make an interesting & fun present for any occasion, The only thing I would like to see added to the site is themed boxes such as a baby/toddler box so you can pick what is best for the person you buying it for other wise I love Conscious Box. The Conscious Box website is easy to navigate & easy to use ordering is simple,fast & reliable. Conscious Box does only ship to the US at this time so anyone outside of the US interested in this website please sit tight and keep an eye on the website for any shipping changes.Another fact that I like is that a large majority of the items included are 100% vegetarian, plus the majority of the products you'll receive every month are vegan. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Conscious Box for the Review free of charge****

Baroni Designs GIVEAWAY & Review

2012-02-06T08:46:00.000-08:00

I am happy to bring you a new review & giveaway! I want to introduce you to a company called Baroni Designs who makes simply elegant pieces of jewelry for women,teens & children. When I was offered the chance to do a review & giveaway with Baroni I couldn't refuse their jewelry line is just too adorable to pass up.For a recent review I received a Childrens charm necklace which came on a Sterling Sliver chain which had two charms a "N" Initial & a Peace sign.

This necklace is gorgeous all of it is pure silver & is quite eye catching within twenty minutes of opening it one of our good friends who was over at the time wanted the web address for the website because it would make a perfect gift for his Girlfriend for Valentines day coming up. My daughter also loves this necklace when she first saw it her reactions were 'Woah so pretty" & 'Thats awesome" granted she won't be able to wear it often as she is only three & will only wear jewelry for a short amount of time before trying to rip it off so this will be stored with my jewelry. I do have to admit that even though this necklace is meant for my daughter I have worn it a few times myself the chain is long enough I can still wear it & short enough that she can wear it while being able to look at the charms. The only tiny thing I don't like is the clasp I prefer a lobster clasp as they are easier to use other wise I fully love this necklace.

Baroni Designs also offers earrings,rings,bracelets & other necklace collections they have something to fit everyones style all items are offered in both gold & silver. The shipping was surprisingly fast which is always a huge plus in my book,Packaging was very well done & the product is high quality perfect as a gift for any occasion.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Baroni Designs for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****

One Lucky winner will receive a charm necklace with two charms [Your choice of gold or silver]

Pictures On Gold GIVEAWAY & Review

2012-02-01T17:43:00.000-08:00

I am very excited to bring you this next giveaway & review from a company called Pictures On Gold who creates gorgeous pieces of jewelry which include lockets that they can permanently laser your photos inside our Gold Lockets or Sterling Silver Lockets,Feel free to take a look at their Photo jewelry. For my review I received one of their Sterling Silver "Sweetheart" Heart 2 Photo Locket and 18inch Sterling Silver Box Chain,Here is the description from the website "This photo locket is perfect for a Mother's Day gift, Anniversary gift, Birthday gift or any occasion. Solid Sterling Silver Heart Plain Locket can be engraved with a special messages for your loved one to make this locket an even more beautiful gift."

Inside my locket I requested a photo of my daughter & a photo of my fiance/myself from Halloween [I love this picture of the two of use] along with "My World" done with laser on the front of the locket.Once my order was place I simply had to wait a few short days before my locket was ready & waiting in my mail.When it arrived I opened it right away I found that it arrived in a sturdy black box that said "Pictures on Gold" the box was a bit heavier than I had expected but upon opening it I found there was a very pretty Black jewelry box with bow inside which I will be storing my gorgeous locket in when I am not wearing it. The locket itself is stunning,I have owned plain picture lockets before but I have never owned one that had engraving on the front or a laser image on the inside I think my locket turned out Perfect,In fact I keep opening it to look at it & show it to my husband who thinks I am obsessed with it,But then again who wouldn't be? Have a look at some of their other beautiful Lockets two of which can be seen below.

I think that the Sterling Silver "Sweetheart" Heart 2 Photo Locket would make the Perfect Valentines gift for a Girlfriend,Wife,or Loved one it will be a piece of jewelry they will want to hold onto forever. You decide what photos go inside & what word(s) you would like on the front of the locket. I think that the price is really great as well only $42 for the locket [chain sold seperetly] other sites have similar lockets where you add in your photo for way more,so this locket is a steal.The chain is sturdy,a great length for it to be shown off without snagging on anything & it has a good clasp.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Pictures On Gold for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****

Mr. Chewy Review

2012-01-28T18:46:00.000-08:00

When out shopping for my daughter & husband there is another member of the family who doesn't like to be left out & that is our cat named Panetra. The only kitty product I don't like shopping for is Kitty litter & that is because it is heavy,takes up a ton of room in my car & the stores around me do not offer a huge selection so when I came upon a site called Mr. Chewy I couldn't have been happier.

What is Mr. Chewy? Mr. Chewy delivers pet happiness by conveniently shipping 70+ brands of pet food and other pet products. For a recent review I was able to pick out a few things my little guy was in need of & I must admit it took me a little while to decide on what to order because there were many great options to pick from. In the end I decided to get a Box of kitty litter & two 24 packs of cat food,The package arrived in a matter of no time which really surprised me but made me very happy. My favorite thing about this website is how easy they make it to shop for your pet & have everything delivered right to your door if it wasn't for Mr. Chewy I wouldn't know half of these brands existed so not only does it help you order what is best for your pet at wonderful prices but it also helps a number of Pet suppliers. The shipping from Mr. Chewy was lightning fast,customer service was very friendly,& their website is easy to navigate,I think this site is perfect for anyone who has health issues because then it saves them the hassle of heading to the store for pet supplies. Needless to say my little guy is one very happy kitty as seen below, If you have a Cat or a dog I suggest heading over to Mr. Chewy. I hope that Mr. Chewy can one day grow into a Larger website that carries an assortment of products for all animals. I am very happy with my experience with Mr. Chew and look forward to using their website again in the future. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Pedestal Pet GIVEAWAY & Review

2012-01-26T18:41:00.000-08:00

I am always on the look out for fun products for my daughter when I came across a company called Pedestal Pets I knew my daughter would love them. What is a Pedestal Pet? Pedestal Pets is a new educational toy that combines learning with fun! Each series includes 4 animal pencil toppers, 4 coordinating pencils and 4 fun fact trading cards!

At this time they have Three series Neighborhood, Safari & Barnyard for my review I was sent an assortment of each. My first impression of the Pedestal Pets is that they are well made & packaged each one is super adorable in its own way. There are a lot of things I like about these pencil toppers including their looks,they are collectable,perfect for school or work, They come with fun fact trading cards & you can print out coloring pages on their website,you can also print out a certificate with the names of your new pets [You pick the names]. I received enough to split between my daughter & her cousin both of which were very excited to receive thier new Pedestal pets. My daughter enjoys reading the trading cards & always keeps them in a nice stack on her desk. I am looking forward to Pedestal pets expanding their collections so that we can expand ours as well. The shipping from Pedestal Pets was fast everything was packaged nicely & best of all each collection is only $4.99 a piece. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

I am excited to bring you a new giveaway & review,Tonight I wanted to introduce you to a company called Green Valley Herbal Enterprises which is a business ran out of Colorado.Green Valley Herbal Enterprises make lip balm,Hand cream,Cuticle Créme,Fizzie Foot Soak & more in a variety of scents such as Coconut,Lavender,Peppermint & other great scents.For a recent review I was sent a Cooling Foot Care Kit which included 1 oz. Fix-A-Foot Balm, 8 oz. Fizzie Foot Soak, Fix-A-Foot Powder, Pumice/Foot Brush,& Washcloth in Peppermint.

The first product I tested out was the Fizzie Foot Soak right away when you open the draw string bag comes in you get a nose full of peppermint,the products are strong so I made sure to only use a little bit of the Fizzie Soak.The soak is true to its name as soon as the powder touched the water it began making a fizzy sound & foaming.My opinion on the product? It felt amazing to soak my feet & it gave me a very neat sensation my foot would go from being into the hot water to touching the cooler air which then made my feet feel icy [In the good way] I also used the washcloth & Pumice/Foot Brush on my feet everything smelled great,my feet felt amazing & looked great when I was done. I plan to use the foot powder in my work shoes standing on my feet for 5-8 hours a day doesn't always leave my shoes in the best condition so I think the foot powder will work nicely.Shipping from the company was fast & I have enjoyed each product included in the Cooling Foot Care Kit I would recommend this product to anyone who likes taking care of their feet,could use a relaxing day getting your feet pampered or simply like bath/body products.The best part of the Cooling Foot Care Kit is that the kit only cost $13 a price that can't be beat.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will win an Assortment of Lavender products

The Slice GIVEAWAY & Review

2012-01-21T12:32:00.000-08:00

Time for another new giveaway! I also wanted to let everyone know as a little sneak peak I am working on another Cash giveaway similar to both the $500 Giveaways posted on my blog this month.

Today I will be hosting a giveaway is from a company called The Slice,Which is a safelty cutter.The Slice Safety Cutter is the most versatile tool you'll ever own. Features a finger-friendly microscopic ceramic blade that's quick, easy and a safe substitute for scissors. Perfect for scrap-booking, clipping recipes, coupons and news articles, removing shrink-wrap, opening CDs, DVDs, and plastic packaging, and more. Includes a built-in magnet and key-ring hole. I enjoy using the Slice for coupons,trimming photos while scrapbooking & it was perfect to use while wrapping Christmas presents. When my three year old daughter asked to help wrap gifts I felt safe asking her to hand me bows,wrapping paper,ribbon & the Slice because I knew it wouldn't hurt her the Slice can cut through paper,tape,ect but it will not cut skin I even tested it on my own hand to make sure. Why is using the Slice better than normal scissors? Ceramic blade lasts longer than steel,Stays sharp and never rusts plus it is for left- and right-handers. I will be using mine for clipper coupons for now on instead of scissors,The Slice is smaller,faster to use & safe to use around my toddler.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

The kit was quite nice the bottles are small,long & square it is the perfect size to fit into a pocket,purse or wrist bag to take with you on trips.The nail polish dries fast,goes on evenly & smooth I also noticed there are no air bubbles or brush lines like other nail polishes I have tried create.So far I haven't tried the hand creams/hand care I have been using a new lotion on my hands due to how dry my hands get at work once they get better I will try the Julep hand cream.Shipping was fast,the kit was great,customer service was very friendly & I enjoy the product.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Mineral Hygienics Review

2012-01-18T17:25:00.000-08:00

If your looking for Mineral Makeup a great company called Mineral Hygienics offers everything you need to get started. Here is some information about their company: "Our mission at Mineral Hygienics is to be the premier cosmetic manufacturer focusing on using natural products to promote health. We use natural ingredients to develop superior cosmetics that meet and exceed customer expectations – we will not compromise on quality. In order to accomplish this objective, Mineral Hygienics strives to build lasting relationships with our customers, suppliers and employees."

Picture above is of me using the Light Foundation.For my review I was sent 1 Mineral bronzer in Cool Kiss,1 Sheer perfection mineral finish in Translucent,1 Full coverage Kabuki Brush & 4 Foundations in Fairest,Far,Fairly light & Light.All of them look very similar to my skin color which made me very happy. The powder went on smoothly but I did notice that it pointed out the dry patches on my face [Sometimes I have issues with my skin being too dry I am currently using a new lotion to help]. The mineral makeup is long lasting & doesn't rub off through out the day so you do not have to worry about reapplying it after two hours.I like how sleek it went on instead of cakey like other foundations have done.The makeup doesn't irritate my skin & washes off with no problem at the end of the day. The makeup is great & shipping was fast but what about the price? Each kit cost $59.99 plus S&H it may seem like a lot to some but it comes with 2 shades of Mineral Hygienics SPF Foundation,Mineral Hygienics mineral enhancer,Mineral finishing powder,Three brushes of various sizes & a How to guide which is a really good deal for the price. If you need any further help they offer Advice,Tips & How to guides on their website for free! They also offer eye shadow,lip stick,lip liner & blush in various shades. I have enjoyed working with Mineral Hygienics & enjoy using their products. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Gear Taker Review

2012-01-18T13:28:00.000-08:00

If you have been a fan of my site for a while you will remember when I did my Gears of war 3 video game review, So you already know I like to play video games when free time allows. I was very excited to get to work with a company called GearTaker.com who sent me a Blue Rapid Wireless Game Controller for Xbox 360.The controller has a 30 feet (9m) Bluetooth range,Adjustable vibration feedback for longer battery life,Integrated headset port for Xbox Live play (headset not included) & the left and right shoulder buttons are designed for ease of use. Seeing as how my old controller was slowly falling apart on me & my favorite color is blue I couldn't wait for this controller to arrive.

My opinion on it? The controller has a great color to it & the power button is Chrome in color which stands out very nicely.The analog sticks are a little squeaky but that is because the controller is new so the noise should go away soon,The controller itself is light weight,sturdy and works well. The controller was packaged well it arrived in perfect condition,My fiance & friends are quite jealous of my new controller. Geartaker.com itself is wonderful they offer a large selection of electronics & accessories including Bath toys,MP3 players,Head phones,Game counsel controllers,Digital photo frames,Watches,Lights & much more all at great prices. The Blue Rapid Wireless Game Controller for Xbox 360 on Geartaker.com is for sale at the price of $38.99 other sites sell this same controller for $40-$69 for a brand new controller so I think the price is fantastic. I am very happy with this product & had a great experience working with this company,In the future if i need other electronics or Xbox accessories I plan on heading back to Gear Taker for all of my needs. If you love electronics,playing video games,fun childrens toys,ect head over to check out their website.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Enjoy the peace and reassurance these beads provide.By purchasing these products, you provide income and stability to these women, their families, and their communities.

I personally love the Mala Bead Necklaces they have bright,vibrant colors the copper wire used to connect the beads really makes the beads "pop". The necklace has a Magnetic clasp making it easy to put on,remove & fix,I love the fact that each necklace is 37" long I can wear it as is,double wrapped or as a bracelet.Here is a description of the Nivesh bracelets "Six strands of beads on elastic cord, two bracelets of delicate green and gold beads and four bracelets of various sized multi-colored beads and seed pods.Wear together or individually."

YoungBlood GIVEAWAY & Review

2012-01-10T17:00:00.000-08:00

Ready for a day of beauty to get you glowing for the new year? I wanted to host a fun day full of Bath/Body & Makeup reviews for your viewing pleasure. First up is a company called YoungBlood who is one of my personal favorite sites for eye liner.

For a recent review I received a Incredible Wear Gel Liner in Eclipse & Luxurious Angle brush.Here is a description of the Liner from their website "Draw those lines bold or fine! Our intensely colored, long-wearing formula glides on smoothly like a liquid liner with the precision of an eye pencil. Non-irritating, very water-resistant and budge-proof." I fully agree with the description from the website it is very easy to create a thin line or a thick line depending on the style of brush you use. I prefer a line that is right in the middle,That way it can be seen without being over powered or being covered by eye shadow. I like to pair this Incredible Wear Gel Liner in Eclipse with the eye shadow called Sea glass from their Mermaid Pressed Mineral Eyeshadow Quad [Not included for this review but I love this quad I use it a lot]. Now what about their Luxurious Angle brush? It has synthetic bristles for shaping brows or applying eyeshadow to crease. I like the shape of this brush it helps apply the liner beautifully. To keep your bush in nice working condition I suggest washing off your brush after every application of the Liner,Why? You don't want excess liner to build up on the brush,Oils & Dirt can transfer from your counter/previous application, into your eye liner which wouldn't be good. Cleaning your brush is easy,using warm water & a mild non scented soap you can clean your brush daily.As always YoungBlood had fast shipping,perfect customer service & high quality items. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by YoungBlood for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will receive a Incredible Wear Gel Liner in Eclipse & Luxurious Angle brush. A $42 Value.

Kleenhanz GIVEAWAY & Review

2012-01-07T17:59:00.000-08:00

Before I had my daughter I never really thought about carrying around hand cleaning sanitizing wipes,Now I try to keep some in my purse no matter where I go. A product I have found recently that I really enjoy is Kleenhanz, Why? I have found they do not dry out as fast as other wipes once they are opened,They do not have a strong scent & I can safely use them to wipe off my daughters or my own face with them.

What are some Kleenhanz advantages? They are Alcohol-free hand cleaning and sanitizing wipe that kills 99.99% of germs and bacteria on contact,Antimicrobial and hypoallergenic,It is a Water based product (over 99%),Does not sting on open wounds,Non-flammable and Non-toxic,Safe to use on children and infants,Leaves hands feeling soft,Towelettes are freshly scented and lightly moistened,Provides long lasting germ killing protection and does not smell bad. Kleenhanz is 99.99% effective without all of the harsh side effects of alcohol. I have used these pretty much everywhere & for many uses included cleaning off the shopping cart before placing my daughter in,Cleaning the table off at the zoo before placing our food/drinks down,To clean my hands,wipe off chocolate or dirt from my daughters face and many other great uses. I keep a small container of these in my purse it fits perfect,easy to use & an Item I think all moms should carry around with them because you never know when you might need a wet wipe. Try these wipes once & you will never go back to liquid hand sanitizer! I know that I will be sad when my wipes are gone so I am planning on buying more once mine are gone.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Kleenhanz for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will receive: Two (2) large Kleenhanz canisters,One (1) small Kleenhanz canister,One (1) Kleenhanz Travel Pack.

ThinkFun Review

2012-01-07T10:21:00.000-08:00

My daughter is just now getting to the age where she is able to understand Board games so I have been trying to start up a collection of board games that range in age so we can start to play them as she gets older. When I was offered a chance to work with a company called ThinkFun I couldn't refuse they have a great selection of games for all ages.For my review I was sent a game called Snack Attack which is aimed for kids 4 years & up.

Here is the description from their website "If your kids are craving a fun time, bring Snack Attack! to the table and serve up a fast-paced picture matching, token stacking challenge that will have players of all ages coming back for more! Spin the delightful Snack Attack! Spinner Platter and the Snack Tokens magically appear. The spinning is half the fun – everyone can get in on the fun and the player with the most Snack Tokens wins! " The game was easy to set up & fun to play it makes a great new addition to our growing collection.This is a great game for adults to play with their children or for kids to play together,It is a great way to get everyone to participate in a group activity while keeping them entertained & engaged with the game.The game tokens are large enough for a toddler to hold easily & small enough they don't take up a lot of space on the table. My daughter enjoys playing this game it is fun for her to try to match all of the little tokens to the matching picture on the card.The ThinkFun website is easy to navigate letting you pick the game that is best for your child[ren]. The shipping of this product was fast ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Decal Girl Review

2012-01-06T15:08:00.000-08:00

I love seeing the fun decals everyone has on their phones,xboxs & other electronic devices but have never found one that really suites what I was looking for until I found Decal Girl then I couldn't decide on just one I wanted.

Decal Girl offers Hundreds off skins & decals in a variety of colors,patterns,& themes for a large selection of electronic devices. For my review my fiance & I decided that we wanted a new Xbox skin so that our black xbox didn't look so plain anymore. For my review I received the Apocalypse Red skin for my Xbox & two controllers here is the description from their website "The apocalypse is nigh-or there's a really bad storm coming. Either way, the lightning bolts light up an ominous, cloudy red sky in this dazzling design that works great on most devices" All Decal Girl skins are printed on premium cast vinyl that is thin enough to work with most third party cases and accessories, but tough enough to endure minor abuse.Their skins also arrive in attractive retail packaging, perfect for gift giving!

The decal was easy to apply even if I placed in on slightly tilted it was easy to peel back off & re apply,the decal included easy to follow directions. I had the decals on the Xbox & controllers within five minutes. Above you can see my xbox & one of my controllers my fiance & I think the skins look nice and we have received many compliments on them. Other xbox skins I like from their website included Blue Giant,Graveyard,Path to the stars & many more needless to say I love Decal Girl & everything they have to offer. I think their decals are very fairly priced you can get decal sets for $20-$40 depending on design,size,ect. Shipping was fast the decals came inside of a large padded envelope with cardboard to keep the decals straight they were also properly marked so that the post office would know how to handle them while they were being shipped. I was very happy with my over all experience with Decal girl & I would buy decals from them again.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Discount Party Supplies GIVEAWAY & Review

2012-01-06T13:24:00.000-08:00

When you throw a growing child a Birthday party you have to have a fun theme to excite the kids & keep the party king or queen happy but where are good places for Decorations/Supplies for the party? I recently found a website called Discount Party Supplies & had the chance to work with them on a product review/giveaway for my blog.

I gave my daughter a choice between 8 different party themes which includes Tangled,Elmo,Whinne the pooh,Curious George,Batman,& others for her 3rd birthday party she picked out the theme Batman.Her father loves batman & I love batman so i was happy to host a batman party for the party I was sent a Batman Standard Party Pack [Suites 8 guests] & 1 Batman Deluxe Favor Pack for the Birthday Girl. The kit came with cups,plates,napkins,silverware,Invites,Streamers,balloons & a table cloth. We also went to a party store to pick up some decorations to match everything,we also picked up some party favors for the kiddos. I can say I didn't use the Invites as I had invited everyone in person or via the internet so I didn't need them but will hold onto them. We had fun decorating for the party we hung up streamers & balloons around the living room,decorated the tables & left balloons out on the floor. The favor kit came with a Batman Treat Box instead of using it for favors I cut the top part of the box off & used it for Silverware on the table it actually made a great addition to the decorations.

The box of supplies arrived very fast,They arrived about a week before the party giving me enough time to plan out everything without worrying about when the supplies would arrive. Everything was packaged secure & together to keep everything safe. My daughter as well as our family & friends were very happy with the decorations/supplies Discount Party Supplies has great prices,fast shipping & high quality products,their customer service is also very friendly. I had an over all fantastic experience with Discount Party Supplies & look forward to using them again next year for her big day.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Discount Party Supplies for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****

Peter Pauper Press Review

2012-01-02T15:12:00.000-08:00

I always love getting to re-work with some of my favorite companies from earlier in the year so I was more than happy to get a new opportunity to work with a company called Peter Pauper Press for a recent review I was sent a Little Black book of BBQ & A Halloween cupcake kit.

I was very excited to try the cupcake kit because it had some Icing tips I wanted to use,& some cute ideas that can be used year round instead of just at Halloween. The little black book is the perfect gift book for Dad! This popular barbecue cookbook includes recipes for burgers, steaks, pork, chicken, and seafood, along with veggie dishes, sides, and spice rubs---everything you need to become King of the Grill! I knew my fiance would enjoy this book because he loves to cook on the grill but doesn't know a ton of recipes so I thought this would give him a nice boost with grilling,He has been very thankful for this book & has enjoyed reading it we have not been able to make anything on the BBQ yet but when spring comes around we will.

The Cupcake cute I found to be rather adorable, The kit included 24 colorful cupcake liners, 24 Halloween cupcake toppers (4 designs of 6 each), 6 different pastry tips, connector, pastry bag, and 32-page mini-book packed with simple decorating instructions for each design, as well as cake and frosting recipes. I used the decorating tips when I threw my Mega bloks mommy party it helped me make cute Brown/Pink frosted cupcakes I had the moms & even a dad ask me where I bought the frosting from because of how it looked so I was happy to say I was the one who decorated them. I will admit I am not good at decorating cupcakes,cakes or other sweet items so I was happy to receive a kit that will help me.Shipping was fast everything arrived on time & in perfect condition.Peter Pauper Press offers a wide range of books & gifts for everyone they make perfect Birthday,Holiday & Any time gifts the website is worth checking out & their prices are great.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Dale & Thomas Popcorn Review

2011-12-20T22:57:00.000-08:00

One of the food companies I simply love & can't tell my friends enough about is a company called Dale & Thomas popcorn. Recently as a little surprise the company sent me a Christmas box with six sampler bags of popcorn inside as a Thank you for working with them this year,In return I wanted to write about their company again.

Inside my package I received the following popcorn samples: Milk Chocolate & Peanut Butter DrizzleTwists,Hall of Fame Kettle Corn,Dale's Caramel,Twice-As-Nice Chocolate DrizzleCorn,Chocolate Chunk N'Caramel & Southwest Cheddar Chipotle. Each is just as yummy & unique as the last, Since I have had the pleasure of trying their popcorn twice now I wanted to share their popcorn with some of my friends at work so over the course of five days I took a new bag of popcorn to work each day for them to try [My daughter kept the Kettle corn & my fiance kept the Chipotle], My friends at work loved the popcorn & couldn't wait to try the next flavor. Needless to say everyone was quite sad when there wasn't anymore popcorn to share but I gave everyone the site address to order more,I think I may have created a few popcorn monsters. I enjoy the Dale & Thomas gift boxes I think they offer a great range of products to try at a great price & come in a nice box for presentation. If you like popcorn or if you are looking for a great gift I suggest heading over to their website to check out all the flavors & products they offer. I have enjoyed working with Dale & Thomas during the course of this year and wanted to thank them for making a delicious product.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Sheet World GIVEAWAY & Reivew

2011-12-20T22:25:00.000-08:00

The sheets couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time,my daughter had just had an accident when talking a nap right when we were putting her sheets into the wash we received the package from Sheet world so I let my daughter decide which sheet set she wanted to use. The sheet set she picked out was the Tinker bell sheet shown above since my daughter has one a bed that converts from a crib into a toddler bed these sheets were a little bit but that makes me happy because it means I get to hold onto them even when she gets a little bigger bed. The sheets all feel great they are soft,breathable & look great they are over all great quality sheets. One of my favorite thing about the Sheet World website is that they have Dozens of colors,patterns & character sheets to choose from which come in different sizes,shapes & materials. One thing I do wish Sheet world had is Sheets for Teen & Adult beds the largest size they carry is a twin sized bed. 98% of sheetworld products are made right here in the USA! Want a chance to win 50% Off your sheet order? They have a “Baby Of The Month” contest where your little one can be featured for the month as the Cutest baby & you get to cut your order in half saving you money.

Hexbug GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-12-16T22:14:00.000-08:00

Many of you have seen or at least heard of a product called Hexbug,What exactly is a Hexbug? It is a Micro Robotic Creature which resembles various bugs. For my recent review I was sent a HexBug Ant the high-speed robotic creature that reacts to touch! The Ant has small antenna on the front & a small wire 'butt' which can sense when it bumps into something,Once it has bumped into an object it will turn around & go another way on its happy little journey.

I personally love playing with Hexbugs,My daughter goes crazy over them & cat is also entertained by them,They are fast,fun to watch,fun to chase around the house & can help keep both your toddler & cat entertained for hours.The only issue I have its that hair & debris get caught in the wheels easily within two hours my daughter had the wheels a mess it was a simple fix but I still prefer the Hexbug Nano as it isn't as easy to get caught in a mess. These toys are a huge hit with little boys & with little girls they make wonderful stocking stuffers,fun birthday favors,& a great every day gift. Shipping was fast the Hexbug Ant was packaged very well making sure it didn't get tossed around during shipping it was placed in the middle of some packing straw,The containers they come in are fun as well they look like a little dome.I would buy this product again both for Children & for myself I also recommend it as a fun toy for everyone.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

SolarChristmasLights.com Review

2011-12-16T21:24:00.000-08:00

During the Holiday season I love to decorate my home which means its time for the Garland,Decor & lights but it also means my worries about making the electric bill go up by leaving the lights on too long go a little over the top. I was very happy to work with SolarChristmasLights.com for a review of their 100 Color String Solar Christmas Lights.

"These solar powered multicolored Christmas lights have 100 bulbs in red, green, yellow, blue, and white.The string is a total of 38 feet long, 32 feet of lights, and 6 feet of lead wire allowing you to place the solar panel in an optimal position to capture energy from the sun.There is no need to run an electrical extension cord to light up your home! These lights automatically turn on at dusk and will run for up to 8 hours on a full charge.They use one rechargeable AA battery which is included with your lights "As soon as the lights arrived I knew exactly where to put them, We have been using these as a night light in my daughters bedroom it is perfect because they can stay on all night & I do not have to worry about them wasting electricity because they aren't using any. The lights have two settings you can put them on still mode for just the lights or you can put them onto a blinking setting we prefer the still setting. The lights are very bright & light her room very well I look forward to buying & owning more Solar Christmas Lights. Shipping from SolarChristmasLights.com was fast,the package arrived safe & on time plus they have fast,fun & friendly customer service. Their prices are pretty decent as well head over to their site to check out their lights and prices. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Oral B Mommy Party

2011-12-11T11:06:00.000-08:00

I was very happy to get the chance to host another Mommy Party yesterday afternoon my friends & their children [Ages 1 1/2 - 5] all came over for an Oral B party. My Mommy party Oral B kit included Tooth Paste,Tooth brushes,Whinne the Pooh body wash,Oral B balloons,Popcorn holders,Popcorn,Ticket style invites,Coupons & The new Whinne the Pooh movie for the kids to watch & enjoy. AS per request of the parents who would like their children Un photographed & Anonymous There will only be pictures provided of those who have given me permission to do so.

I had a fun time putting together each child's goodie bag & getting the house decorated I was a little worried the kids might fight over which tooth paste they wanted or which color tooth brush they wanted but I was very happy that none of the children seemed to care when we opened our goodie bags they just wanted to brush their teeth. The afternoon started out with the kids running around the house playing,screaming laughing & having a great time my house was hectic but we were having a good time,While the children were playing all the mommies gathered around to talk about Our children's brushing habits,what age they took their children to the dentist for the first time if they have taken them or when they plan to,& other subjects about our kids.Every mom at the party has heard of Oral B but not all of them have tried the brand when it comes to Childrens tooth paste, I personally have been buying Oral B since starting my daughter on a good brushing routine. I was very happy & very surprised to see all of the kids enjoying brushing their teeth at the party many of the children were more than excited to sit down in a big group & brush their teeth in my living room as seen below.

After all the kids brushed their teeth & checked out their goodie bags we played a fun game of Oral B flash cards with simple brushing habit questions,Last but not least we all sat down to un-wind & watch Whinne the pooh before everyone went home.Some of the mothers said the movie seemed rather short but we were also talking a lot while the movie was playing. I enjoyed the fact that the movie had 'Older' graphics which looked hand drawn instead of digitally animated it really brought back watching whinne the pooh as a kid.At the end of the movie we asked the children what their favorite part of the movie was & who their favorite character was Most of the children couldn't pick just one part to be the part they liked most because they loved the movie as a Whole,Character wise Pooh Bear,Piglet & Tigger received the most votes. All of our visitors small & tall enjoyed the party the older kids were wanting to know when they could come back to play again it was very adorable. My daughter watched the movie again this morning she really enjoys watching the movie,I look forward to being able to host another Mommy Party. **This was not a paid post opinions used are my own & those who attended my Oral B party.I want to personally thank Oral B & Mommy Parties for providing me the kits necessary to host this party.****

Lingerieplease Review

2011-12-09T21:59:00.000-08:00

I am not going to lie I enjoy being comfortable when I am sleeping so I like keeping a nice selection of Pajama pants,Camisoles & shirts to sleep in.When Lingerieplease offered me their O Lingerie Myrtle Camisole & Undies set I couldn't refuse it is always nice to add a new comfortable Cami to my sleep wear collection.

I have to admit I love the O Lingerie Myrtle Camisole but I wasn't a huge fan of the undies they were a little large in the back area for my tastes & were a little too large for my size. The cami is Soft and floaty, this camisole will make you feel fabulously feminine. Treat yourself to a lovely nightwear slip, and worn with the matching Myrtle briefs. I like the way the cami fits & moves with my body when I sleep,the cami is a great neutral color & has a simple design another thing I like about this product is that its only $26.64 Or $13.32 with a 50% voucher! [Find out more about Vouchers on their website]. Lingerieplease offers a fantastic selection of lingerie & bras in fact my favorite bra I own is from their website,They carry an assortment of Sizes,Styles,Colors & Fabric for all of their lingerie.I have worked with Lingerieplease in the past so I know that they always have fast shipping,friendly customer service,good packaging & high quality products.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Cover your Hair GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-12-09T20:33:00.000-08:00

I like the winter time I love being able to drink hot coco,Bundle up in my blanket on the couch with my fiance or daughter in my arms sometimes I may even have a cat in my lap. Winter gives you a great reason to wear the boots,long sleeves shirts & scarves that are too hot to wear during the summer but the one thing I don't like about the winter is that I have a problem with my ears when I walk,or stand outside for too long my ears begin to hurt pretty badly it has always been an issue I have so I was very happy when Cover your Hair sent me a pair of their new Cable Knit Faux Fur Ear Muffs along with a Winter Elegant Crochet Beret.

I have to start off by saying I love the Cable Knit Faux Fur Ear Muffs they look simple yet adorable they are comfortable to wear & keep my ears quite warm.These ear muffs feature a unique and stylish cable knit design and have plush faux fur covering the actual ear muff. The band can be worn on top of your head or behind not to mess up your hair.The ear muffs are easy to wear when I do not need them I simply keep them around my neck or in my purse I like using them while on walks or in the car early in the morning on the way to work. My Winter Elegant Crochet Beret is 100% cotton & comfortable to wear I have to admit I am not as crazy about it as my other beret but I think that is because it is closer crochet together.This beret makes a great addition to simple every day outfits or can help really make an outfit pop,I like to wear mine with my Jeans,Boots,Black shirt with Black vest & one of my favorite necklaces.Cover Your Hair offers lots of other products including brushes,scarves,Women's Headbands,Baby Hats & more if you like adding color or style to your wardrobe but have a hard time finding hair accessories you like head over to check out their website.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

2011-12-07T22:53:00.000-08:00

Their site is easy to navigate & offers hundreds of fun and exciting party favors. You can sort by theme,season,or occasion they also offer Accessories & gifts for your needs as well.

Corner Stork Baby Gifts GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-12-07T22:33:00.000-08:00

I love being able to provide my friends with fantastic sites that offer high quality & reliable products for their little ones so I was very happy to do a review with a company called Corner Stork Baby Gifts who sells Clothing,Stuffed animals,Blankets,Personalized items,Gift baskets & much more all at affordable prices.

For a review review I was sent the "Monsieur leSqueak and Blankie Fantastique" Plush Mouse and Blanket Gift Set. The first thing I noticed was that I didn't look at the size of this adorable plush mouse before it was shipped so I was pleasantly surprised by how large the mouse its sitting at a 14" Height & 13" Length [From tip of his toes to the end of his tail]. Monsieur leSqueak is very soft,super adorable & very lovable my two favorite things about him is his adorable french beret & blanket that looks like a slice of cheese the blanket measures 30" by 30" & is just as soft as the mouse it comes attached with. Monsieur leSqueak is surface-washable polyester and the blanket is machine-washable polyester so I know it will be safe when I need to wash it Thankfully I haven't had a need to wash it. The shipping from Corner Stork Baby Gifts was quite fast & their customer service is friendly when handling customer requests I think they are a very reliable company to order from & look forward to seeing which of my friends has a child next because I know where I am buying their baby shower gift. Corner Stork Baby Gifts has a lovely selection of gifts for every occasion & for every price range some of my favorites include their Teach Me Elmo,"Five Little Monkeys" Five-Piece Gift Set in Keepsake Basket & Lil' Winnie the Pooh 3-Tier Diaper Cake.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

2011-12-07T21:46:00.000-08:00

For a while now I have been wanting to get my daughter a new chair for her room/Play area but I was unsure where to look until I found a fantastic company called HooHobbers who sells Unique specialty products for babies & toddlers. For a recent review I was sent a folding Primary Canvas kids rocker which can be seen below:

It was sent with my daughters name personalized onto the back [Name has been blocked by the cute stuffed mouse for safety]. The first thing I loved about this chair is the fact it is easy to fold,unfold & store when it is not in need it can easily be folded & stored under the bed until it is needed again.I enjoy the colors on this chair they are bright fun & aren't gender specific. I enjoy the fact that this chair rocks that way when my daughter is reading or watching a movie she can sit happily & rock during play time she likes setting her chairs in a row or circle then she places her stuffed animals in the chair & talks with them so I know she will enjoy playing with her stuffed animals in her new rocking chair. Hoohobbers offers more than just chairs other products they offer include Kids easels,Table/Floor lamps,Shower curtains,Hooded towels,Kids table sets & more. Hoohobbers had fast & friendly customer service,fast shipping & their products are top quality and well made I would put this in the top picks for my Holiday shopping list.

Stone Wheat Crackers,Happy Holidays Theme Bag w/Starlite Mints,Cheese Wedge,Chocolate Cream Filled Wafer Cookies.

One of the best memories I have of Christmas when I was a kid was every year my father got a box filled with Crackers,Summer Sausage & Cheese that he would share with my brother & myself. My Fiances grandfather received & did the same thing so we were both happy to test out the summer sausage & cheese included in this kit. I was a little disappointed with the crackers so I used my own at home,the sausage & cheese were quite tasteful at first my fiance didn't want to try the cheese because he said it 'Looks gross' but upon smelling it & myself making him try it he ended up loving it. We all enjoyed the products in this basket we all had a small sample of each we did notice that this specific gift basket is better suited for someone who is single as the portions are perfect for one person,as a family each person would only get a small piece of some of the items.Everything was in its own packaging & fit into the basket perfectly this basket would make a fantastic presents & you can reuse the basket for something else like I am doing.My favorite item from this pack were the Chocolate cream filled wafer cookies they were very tasty. My daughter,fiance & I enjoyed testing out this basket.

Carmex GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-12-01T21:41:00.000-08:00

I am part of the Carmex Blog Squad which means I get to test out a bunch of their new products,Recently I was sent their new Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream collection.Due to having dry patches of skin various places on my body I love lotion but not all lotion is made the same. I was sent the Carmex Healing Lotion - Aloe with Vitamin E & Carmex Healing Cream with nine healing ingredients. My favorite is the Healing cream it helps moisturize my skin & doesn't seep completely into the skin right away so it lasts I also love the smell of it my mother was also a big fan of the smell so I let her keep the smaller bottle I was sent. I keep my tube in my purse so I can use it when I am in need of moisture for my hands [I am a cashier & a Crafter I work with my hands all day]

Both the Healing lotion & Healing cream apply smoothly it doesn't leave your skin feeling heavy or greasy like other products might.I have to admit my fiance doesn't like the smell of either products so I use them when I am at work instead of when I am home. I personally love Carmex products & I am thankful to be on their blog squad in fact I am using their Vanilla lip balm as we speak it helps keep my lips smooth & moisturized. If your looking for a great personal gift this Holiday season why not put together a Bath & Beauty kit for your loved one while including some of the Carmex product line?

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will receive a Carmex Healing Lotion & Healing Cream collection of their own. [One full size of each & One travel size of each]

Bioken GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-12-01T20:55:00.000-08:00

In the past I have tried Bioken shampoo & conditioner and really enjoyed testing them so I was more than happy to agree to reviewing their Bioken Pequi Body Wash,Bioken Pequi Body Lotion,& Bioken Pequi Body Oil (spray) All of the items arrived fast & in perfect condition. Here is a little bit about the company "Bioken believes that all things begin with nature, and thus all things must return to nature. Their main objective has become to deliver the essences of nature (BIO) that promote beautiful, healthy hair and skin from a secluded and intimate place (KEN)."

My first impression of using these products is that the Body wash smells pretty good,The lotion didn't really have a scent which I enjoyed because I do not like using over powering lotion.Starting off with my favorite of the three I really liked the Bioken Pequi Body Wash it wasn't a very thick goop or a thin watery body wash it was right in the middle which is perfect because then it will not run off the side of my hand while in the shower,I also enjoyed the fact it didn't make my skin feel dried out after I got out of the shower.Pequi Body Wash contains a unique healing and anti-aging formula derived from Amazon rain forest fruits and botanical extracts like pequi. Pequi is a fruit from the pequi tree native to central Brazil. It is rich in vitamins A and E and has a blend of essential fatty acids, which is ideal for the treatment of dry skin.Next is the Body Lotion,Pequi Body Lotion is specially formulated with pequi and other botanical extracts that calm and soothe skin. It significantly renews skin’s surface, helps replenish the natural moisturizing factors and prevents future dryness.I like using this lotion on my feet because my left foot gets dried out from sitting on it while I am on the computer[My chair is wood & it drains the moisture from my foot] & My other foot has a tattoo that dries easily so I enjoy using this when my feet need a little extra loving.The lotion doesn't have much of a scent & doesn't leave a nasty feeling on your hands after you rub it on which are both big pluses for me.

Pequi Body Oil is an antioxidant rich hydrating body oil spray that absorbs deeply into skin to provide restoration, retexturizing and relaxation. It evens the skin tone and provides nourishing benefits without clogging pores. This anti-aging emollient protects against UV damage and leaves skin smooth and silky soft. The body oil comes out in a light mist it is refreshing & has a nice scent to it,I generally try not to use many products on my face while testing them out because I have broken out due to products in the past so I tested this out on my arms & legs for this review. My skin did seem to be refreshed after using this,It would be perfect to use during the summer when my skin becomes quite dry,I never really like using Oils but I wouldn't mind using this product again as it didn't give any negative effects to my skin.On a side not I really love the Bioken Shampoo & condition this company overall has fantastic products that smell great and work well If you want to know where to buy their products please head to their website Bioken ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Bioken & PurelyVisual PR for the Review & Giveaway free of charge,I would like to thank both companies for the review opportunity****

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will win 1- 8oz Bioken Pequi Body Wash,1 - 8oz Bioken Pequi Body Lotion & 1 - 4oz Bioken Pequi Body Oil (spray) Retail Value: $58

Infrashine GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-12-01T19:41:00.000-08:00

Today is going to be Beauty day with some great beauty related reviews & giveaways. I do not normally do anything with my hair besides put it in a pony tail or wear it straight so needless to say I am not the best at Curling hair but I was very happy to receive a InfraShine Spring Curling Iron (1-inch size). "This flexible and easy-to-use professional styling tool heats the hair from within to lock in its natural moisture, produce unbelievably silky shine, and help you create beautifully controlled curls and waves exactly where you want them." Below you can see how my hair turned out.

Since I am not a pro at curling my hair I asked my mother to come over & Help me test out the product. The InfraShine Spring Curling Iron was fast to heat up,The iron didn't pull or rip out small pieces of my hair while we were curling my hair which is always a plus because the only other curling Iron i own tugs on my hair when I use it. I noticed that my head was completely curled in a matter of no time the Iron was fast & made everything look perfect the statement from their website saying "produce unbelievably silky shine, and help you create beautifully controlled curls and waves exactly where you want them" it very true in my opinion my hair looked naturally shiny when I used the InfraShine Spring Curling Iron. InfraShine also sells other Curlers,Shears,& Flat irons.If you would like to see where you can buy a InfraShine Spring Curling Iron you can head over to the Infrashine website to see a link of stores/websites that carry their products. I am over all very happy with the way my hair turned out using the InfraShine Spring Curling Iron, I plan on using this more to style my hair & I do plan to let my family & friends know about this company for their Hair styling needs.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Nici's Art & Jewelry Feature

2011-11-30T16:11:00.000-08:00

Today I wanted to share one of my Sponsors with you. I would like to introduce you to a little Etsy shop called Nici's Art & Jewelry who offers a range of very unique jewelry items. Here is a little bit about the owner Nici Laskin "I am a Silver & Goldsmith based out of Tucson,AZ at the moment everything I make is truly handmade, I do not cast & I do not make many pieces over again and again, I think the most is I have made is ten of the same item, I use mostly sterling silver & copper, everything is hypoallergenic & nickle free.Due to the fact that everything is handmade you will see some tool marks,pieces are not always perfect, but i think that just adds more character to them" I love the fact that her jewelry isn't something you will see on another person while out shopping,I have seen jewelry I own on numerous people because it was bought at a regular retail store but when I buy Handmade jewelry I love getting compliments & having people ask me where I bought it from happily knowing I just may be the only person with that specific piece of Jewelry.

Picture above is one of my favorite pieces from her shop called "Pua Aloalo (Yellow Hibiscus) Sea Turtle Pendant" The pendant is hand cut from 18 Gauge sterling silver. The pendant represents a peaceful harmony between land and sea. The Yellow Hibiscus flower is the state flower of Hawaii and has been a symbol of peace for native cultures throughout the South Pacific for centuries. Along with the Sea turtle pendant you can find a large assortment of other Pendants,Earrings,Bracelets & more by visiting her Etsy shop by clicking Nici's Art & Jewelry or by clicking one of the photos on this post.

If your looking for a Unique Christmas gift for a special loved one this year please head over & check out what Nici's Art & Jewelry has to offer you for the upcoming Holiday season.Handmade items often mean more than store bought items & usually last for many more years to come.Now that you know my favorite item from her shop,I would love to hear your opinions on what your favorite item is from her shop [You can leave it in the comment section below], All three photos above are my three top choices from her store you can visit each one by clicking the link which will take you right to that products page.Thank you for reading I hope you have enjoyed this Handmade feature.

Vamplets Review

2011-11-23T06:35:00.000-08:00

I am always on the look out for toys that aren't your 'Ordinary' toy so when I came across a toy called Vamplets I fell in love.If Vamplets would have been around when I was a child I would have wanted to own the whole collection.

A Vamplet is a small Stuffed Vampire baby doll each are adorable in their own way for my review I received is named Count Vlad Von Gloom.Here is a description of the Vamplets from their website "Are you brave enough to become the parent of a vampire baby, like Bella and Edward in Twilight: Breaking Dawn? We are looking for suitable human parents who would DARE to adopt one of our precious Vamplets! Our "human-friendly" shop is located here at shop.vamplets.com ready for you to browse (with caution) and become familiar with all the Undead creatures that dwell in this delightfully frightful world. If you think you have what it takes to care for your own immortal infant (and show the Cullens how it's done) then we encourage you to explore the Realm of Gloomvania at www.vamplets.com! You can stop by the Town Hall and print your Vamplet's Undead Certificate, then head to the Nursery where you can MEET each of the Vamplets up-close!"

Each baby Vamplet arrives in a Small coffin box along with a Thank you note with a free Pin. I think that this baby vampire is beyond adorable,I also received a Disappearing Bottle of Blood "If your vamplet gets hungry, you’ll want the Vamplets Disappearing Bottle of Blood to settle her tummy. Filled with red “blood” and capped with a black baby bottle nipple, this mysterious snack disappears as you feed it to your Vamplet! When it’s tipped back upright, the “blood” returns." I think both the baby bottle & vamplet would make a great gift for a child who likes things out of the Ordinary I know many rocker mamas who love this product & plan on looking into it more for the Holidays. The Vamplets are well constructed I have looked this doll over & think that everything is well put together,well thought out & over all a great product. Along with Count Vlad Von Gloom there are Five other vamplets to adopt. Each vamplet cost $19.95 which I think is a great price for these fantastic babies These vamplets aren't just for Kids they are also for geeky adults! This site is worth checking out for the Holidays. I also wanted everyone to know they are having a Large giveaway on their facebook page they are giving away Lots of little Vamplets to new loving homes head over to check out their Giveaway on facebook.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Vamplets for the Review free of charge****

Citrus Lane Review

2011-11-21T20:20:00.000-08:00

Everyone loves surprises so I always love surprise boxes, What is better than a subscription to a website that sends out a Monthly box containing the latest & best baby products. A company called Citrus Lane With Citrus Lane, you'll get a box every month filled with cute and practical products recommended by real moms they have kits for Children up to Three years of age.

I recently received one of their last Summer fun packs for this year which contained one set of Stacking + nesting cup Bath toys,A Bumble bar,A white sun hat,A tube of sunblock & a set of Sanitizing wipes for toys,carts,ect. before receiving this package I had no idea what was going to be in it so I was very excited to get it opened. Here are my thoughts on each of the products: My daughter loves the Stacking cups she plays with them every night when taking her bath before bed the box says they are for babies 6 months+ my daughter is almost three and she still thinks they are great.I enjoy the Sanitizing wipes because I can wipe down shopping carts,Toys she drops on the ground,Swing seats at the park & more they are a handy item to have in your purse or diaper bag.I have tons of Sunscreen & Hats for my daughter so I wasn't able to use either of those but I think they are a critical product to have during the summer time to help keep your baby safe & happy, As for the Bumble bar I have tried them before & didn't like them so I let a friend of mine have it that is a fan of the Bumble Bar. I enjoy the fact that the box comes with a sheet with information & retail price of each item you get in your box so you know exactly what you have received.

Above is a photo of the package I received from Citrus Lane.If I would have known about these when my daughter was born I would have loved a subscription as a baby shower gift. Boxes are $25 a month but they contain $30-$50 worth of products so I think they are worth the buy if you know anyone having a baby soon these boxes are worth checking out. Here is a little description from their website to describe their boxes "We think of our monthly boxes as care packages for parents! With a subscription to Citrus Lane, you'll receive a monthly box filled with 4-5 healthy and delightful baby products recommended and reviewed by real moms. The goodies inside will be tailored to the age of your child. We're dedicated to helping parents discover the best baby products on the market. Sometimes it's an undiscovered gem that catches our eye. Other times, it's a tried-and-true parent favorite. Either way, we're looking for that certain something - a wow-factor that makes us say, "Ah-ha! Now this is something every parent should know about!" Want a Discount code for half off your first months box? Use the code CITRUSHALF [Click on the link to have it automatically sign you up with the Code], which is good for half off your first box when you sign up for a monthly subscription (so you're getting your first box for just $12.50). ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

My Mega Bloks MommyParty

2011-11-19T20:29:00.000-08:00

Today was a fun & exciting day I hosted my first MommyParty at my home. I was recently selected to host a MommyParty sponsored by Mega Bloks aimed at ages 1+ I received a party kit that included a Large Tubtown Farm for the children to play with along with 10 small back packs filled with Mega bloks for each child to take home there were five Jungle friends Bloks & five Garden friends bloks which can be seen below.

For the party I spent the morning baking cupcakes & getting the party ready we also had juice boxes & pizza for the children, I can tell you it was tough trying to get my toddler to stay away from all the lego packs. While the children ate before they began playing the mothers & I made a decision on how we would let each child play with their pack of bloks without getting bloks messed up & to prevent fighting so we all agreed each child would sit in different spots in the living room & my daughters room so that they could play with their bloks & so we could get pictures some of the bloks did end up in the bigger bloks container but we sorted everything out before the children left. Each mother was asked if it was okay to photograph their child for pictures to provide for the blog post & to the sponsor company some mothers agreed others would like to stay anonymous so respecting their wishes only photos of the Approved mothers children will be shown.My daughters cousin arrived late to the party for a sleep over so she was wearing her Pj's while playing with the bloks it was quite cute.

All of the children who attended the party were 5 years of age & Under all of the children played well together did a great job at sharing and over all seemed to be really enjoying their time playing.The children spent a good deal of the party playing with the bloks then decided to play else where with toys so the bloks were put away until the children decided to play with the bloks again,All of the children were very happy to learn that they got to take their Mega Blok back packs home. The party was a blast none of the children have owned Mega Bloks previous to this party & many of the mothers enjoyed watching their children build various creations with the bloks they will be looking into more of these bloks for their children for Christmas. I had a great time hosting this party & loved seeing all of the toddlers having such a great time towards the end some of the children got a little cranky because they were tired but we had a lot of fun playing with the bloks so the children were exhausted. We played some fun games with the bloks such as asking the children what sound the Animals on the jungle bloks made. The children had just as much fun knocking down their creations as they did building them. I wanted to personally thank Mega Bloks & MommyParties for allowing me to host this party it was nice to see the children playing & having a great time interacting many of my friends who attended haven't meet my other friends with children so everyone got to meet someone new.I think that Mega Bloks are perfect for small children it helps build imagination,Helps engage them into activity & they never get boring because you can always add more mega bloks or build something completely new.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Aurorae Yoga Review

2011-11-18T20:31:00.000-08:00

I enjoy doing Yoga & I work out when I can but I hate having to work out right on the floor I keep my carpets clean,Vacuumed & we steam clean when we need to but I don't like the way the carpet feels on my skin while laying,kneeling,ect while working out so I like using a Yoga Mat.

[Sorry for the bad photo my camera isn't the best]

The Yoga mat I currently use is the Aurorae Classic Yoga Mat in Purple I love using it but my Husband always feels left out so I am happy to announce I got to do a new review of their brand new Northern Lights Yoga Mat in Red/Orange. I love the colors of the Yoga mat, I was going to break out this Yoga mat & give it a test run myself but my husband stopped me stating he wasn't going to use a purple mat even if it was just for a night so I let him test it out since after all he will be the one using it. The Northern Lights Yoga Mat to me seems a little longer than the Classic yoga mat but one thing is for sure it is comfortable helps you keep your balance & your feet planted while working out/doing Yoga. The Yoga mats are easy to roll up & store in the closet when not in use i can easily transport my yoga mat from location to location without having to worry it will get in the way or unroll. I was very happy to find that Aurorae Yoga also sent me one of their Aurorae Yoga Slip Free Rosin Bag, I love this product because it makes me feel more secure when I am working out I like to pat the bag on my Kettle ball so the rosin covers the handle when I start working out & get sweaty I am always afraid I will let go of the bell on accident and break something I have never been close to it but its better to be safe than sorry. The rosin also helps you keep your hands planted firmly on the yoga mat while doing yoga. I think that Aurorae Yoga products are all around fantastic! I love using them and I plan to use them for years to come. If you like working out,doing yoga or other forms of stretching that involve a yoga mat Aurorae Yoga is your place to shop! ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

My Embroidered Gifts GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-11-18T10:51:00.000-08:00

One of my personal favorite gifts to give & receive are personalized gifts,When I was a child I always wanted something with my name on it from the store but since I have a very unique name I always knew my name would never be on anything in the store so on rare occasion when my mother got something that used a laser I was very happy & I want to do the same for my daughter.

I recently worked with a company named 'My Embroidered Gifts' who have a Large selection of customizable items I choose the "Need A Hug" Bear The sweet "Need A Hug" bear is 12 inches tall and has a cute knit red sweater. The sweater can be personalized with a first name. The bear is soft,Lovable & looks great I love the way it turned out & can't wait to give this to my daughter on Christmas. The shipping was fast the bear was properly packed & marked so it wouldn't get smashed during shipping,The bear is high quality & there isn't a stitch out of placed with the embroidery. Along with bears 'My Embroidered Gifts' also sells towels,Pillow pets,Makeup bags,clothing & more you get to pick the font & color you would like you can also decide if you want a full name or a monogram. If this is your daughter or sons first Christmas they have a great selection of 'Baby's first Christmas' items I think all of their products would make great Christmas & Birthday presents. Some of my personal favorite items from the site are the Sesame Street Photo Albums,Abby Cadabby Baby Doll by Gund,& Essential Toiletry Kit the site is worth looking through for all of your Christmas needs. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

North Star Games GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-11-16T23:13:00.000-08:00

I am very excited to have the chance to work with a wonderful company called North Star Games again,I was recently sent their game ‘Say Anything’ to review having reviewed their ‘Witt's & Wagers’ in the past I knew it was going to be a fun night. My fiance & I invited my mother,mothers BF,My grandmother,My brother & our friend over for Pizza,Gelato tasting[Review coming soon] & Games.

Here is the description from the website “Say Anything is a light-hearted game about what you and your friends think. It will get people talking, laughing and having fun in minutes. Enjoy it with three to eight family members or as an hilarious party game with adults. So dig deep into your heart or just come up with something witty - this is your chance to Say Anything!” While the boys played video games us females played ‘Say Anything’ the game has basic rules that are easy to understand but the three of us decided it would be a little faster & more exciting to see everyone's answers instead of following through with all the rules we’re such rebels! The game was quite fun we have a ton of laughs & good times even the guys got a kick out of hearing some of our answers. I have to admit some of the questions really stumped me since they were asked on the spot it was hard to come up with a fast response for them,Some I tried to make funny others I put real answers for we played for about an hour & hardly broke the stack so we still have tons of questions left to be answered. We plan on playing this game again when we have our family Thanksgiving so that we can play with a bigger group I look forward to having more fun with this great board game. I think this game would make a great birthday or Christmas gift.You can buy their games at Target & Toys R US. If you head over to the North Star Games Facebook page they would like your opinion on your favorite Question from the game & want your feedback in exchange one lucky winner is going to get an ipad [This is a seperate giveaway sponsored by North Star Games on their facebook page] ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Mama Mia's Jerky Review

2011-11-16T21:16:00.000-08:00

I wanted to start off todays post by Welcoming all of my new blog followers! I hope you all enjoy my blog along with my Reviews & Giveaways I have many more headed your way for my Holiday Shopping Guide.

Today's review is from a company called Mama Mia’s who creates some mouth watering beef jerky.Once you get to know me you will find out that both my fiance & myself love beef jerky we have tried many kinds,we have our favorites & our not so favorites but we both have agreed that we love the beef jerky from Mama Mia’s it is moist,Juicy & tender. Mama Mia’s Beef Jerky is based in Corona, California,Mama Mia’s has very fast shipping along with great packaging I love her logo. I was sent Turkey Jerky,Homestyle & Honey Teriyaki for sampling the package arrived fast & was packaged well. Turkey Jerky is A healthy alternative to beef and great tasting as well, Turkey Jerky is sure to please. Made from premium whole breast meat,My fiance isn't a fan of Turkey Jerky but he did find Mama Mia's to be pleasing on his taste buds although he still preferred the regular Jerky so I got the turkey all to myself it was moist,very sweet & had just the right amount of texture to chew properly. I like the Turkey a lot but the Teriyaki was my favorite it was simply amazing & would make a perfect stocking stuffer. The Homemade was delicious as well I can tell you now this beef jerky didn't last long in my house we love beef jerky & we both agree that Mama Mia's is in our top two for favorite beef jerky. Each bag is only $6 which I think is more than fair for the quality of her beef jerky she also sells Combo packs,It arrives fresh on time & will be one of the best beef jerky's you will ever try.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Their unique double-lid design prevents boil-overs, so your microwave stays clean.Their exclusive color won't stain.The Rice Cooker is for microwave use only it is 3 qts. & Dishwasher-safe. The rice cooker was a bit larger than I expected which is a good thing because of the amount of rice I can cook. It is also great for steamed veggies.

Kim & Scott's Gourmet Pretzels Review

2011-11-11T09:14:00.000-08:00

Every once in a while I get to share a great new food item with you & I am happy to present you with Kim & Scott's Gourmet Pretzels. They sell a variety of stuffed pretzels which include stuffings like Pizza,Cheese,Egg & Cheese,Apple cinnamon,Cheddar Jalapeno & even a Chocolate crumble.

For my review I was able to test out the following three: Cheddar Jalapeno,Cheese & Pizza unfortunately all three stores I looked at only had one or two flavors so I wasn't able to find any more to test.First off the Cheddar Jalapeno I have to admit I normally hate Jalapeno's so I was hesitant to try it at first but found they actually taste quite amazing! I loved them in fact they were soft,warm & were full flavored. The cheese also tasted great to give it an extra cheese flavor we dipped them in melted cheese just like regular twisted pretzels. The pizza flavored were alright & taste fine when dipped in ranch also. My favorite part of Kim & Scott's pretzels is that Unlike other frozen pretzel brands you can either make them in the oven or microwave & they don't taste like crap I have had a few Pretzel brands that claim to 'taste fresh' right from the microwave but the fact is they get hard & dried out this is not the case with Kim & Scott's pretzels they taste like they were just made you can have perfect pretzels in less than a minute. Both my Husband & I enjoy this brand & we will be keeping our eyes out for more flavors to try as they become available at our local stores. To see if Kim & Scott's Gourmet Pretzels are carried near you, you can head over to their Where to buy page to see what stores currently sell their pretzels.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Simply because I don't want them getting destroyed these butterfly wings are gorgeous so instead of getting beat up by my toddler they hang happily on her bedroom wall among small butterflies & a Fairy escape reading corner [She has a Fairy circle canopy] the butterfly wings add the perfect touch to her room. Fairy Wonderful always has amazing shipping they are speedy & pack the wings so they won't get crushed they arrive in perfect condition each time they are sent out.

Uncommongoods GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-11-03T21:12:00.000-07:00

I know recent posts have been mainly review posts & I know many of you are waiting for a giveaway so I have a new giveaway for you today! I recently found a website called Uncommongoods which they really live up too.

For a recent review I was sent A Pita Pocket Lunch set & A Grillasaurus BBQ kids apron.The pita pocket lunch is a made from felt & wood as the description states Your little one will learn how to "pack" their own lunch by mixing, matching and making their own pita pocket stuffed with soft slices of tomato, cucumber, onion, carrots and cheese! & the Kids apron is a cute little kids cooking apron. My personal favorite of the two is the Pita pocket lunch set it is such a simple & fun toy that doesn't make a huge mess I thought it would go perfect with my daughters kitchen she has in her bedroom she has lots of pots & pans but not many fake food items to play House with. I also like the apron it is a little big for my daughter but she doesn't mind & doesn't really notice because when she has it on she is too busy 'cooking' food for her stuffed animals. They have a large selection of items for the Home,Teens & Adults they are worth checking out if you like looking for Original items you can't find in stores. They have fast shipping,good packing & fast customer service I would buy from them in the future for holiday gifts. If your looking for a gift for a certain age group or a specific item their website such as Unique Jewelry it is easy to navigate & items are easy to find. I have enjoyed working with this company & hope to have the chance to work with them again in the future.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

NeatoShop.com Review

2011-11-03T10:07:00.000-07:00

If your looking for neat & interesting products you won't find anywhere else then NeatoShop.com is your one place stop. They offer products for everything from the Kitchen,Bathroom & even clothing they offer something for everyone.

For a recent review I received two Wine Bottle Stoppers,Though I don't drink wine I thought the Bottle stoppers were adorable & well made each stopper is tough urethane resin and natural cork they are also Unique: no two are exactly alike - paint details may vary as it is handpainted. If your wondering what I did with the corks since I do not drink wine,I used them for two of my 'Halloween' bottles I bought last year the original corks I had for them were lost during a move so these fit perfectly. I don't know what normal prices are for wine stoppers since these are Handmade I can see them being a little more expensive but to me the price is a little high right now they are currently on sale for $10 each plus shipping. If your not much of a wine drinker either they offer products for everyone including Bobble heads,Toys,Shirts,Tools,Gadgets & more at a variety of prices. If I could I would buy about half of the things on this website & be very happy, I do plan on buying a few Christmas gifts from this website for my loved ones. NeatoShop.com has fast customer service,fast shipping & great packaging I have enjoyed working with them & hope you will head over to their website to check out all the fun & interesting products they have to offer you they have a great Halloween section & they offer a large Zombie selection for all those zombie fans out there.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

This Place is a Zoo Review

2011-11-02T23:28:00.000-07:00

I love being able to keep good connections with companies I have worked with in the past so I am more than happy to share some reader favorites with you again this year for my Holiday Shopping Guide 2011. For a recent review I received two stuffed animals from a company called This Place is a Zoo. The company sells a large variety of Animal stuffed plushies ranging in size,color & materials.

For my review I received a 8" Plush Hugging Siamese Cats & 6" Igloo with Polar Bear both arrived fast and in perfect condition they were even cuter in person than shown on the website.Both items I received are soft,Easy to snuggle with,Super cute & Kid friendly my daughter Received the Polar Bear to play with & the Hugging Cats I am saving as part of her Christmas gifts. The Cats are stitched onto each other which is a feature I do like because it means they will always be together, Your child will not be able to leave one behind or misplace it because it will always be with its partner. I enjoy the color of the Cats they are a Mocha brown with Cream colored fur along with piercing blue eyes that really "pop". There are so many animals to choose from on This Place is a Zoo its almost impossible to decide on just One stuffed animal you want,I really think they have put together a very pleasant & wonderful collection of stuffed animals on their site ranging in size from small animals to giant teddy bears you could use as a bean bag chair. Their shipping was fast both plushies came in their own separate bags during their trip to their new home,each one made it unharmed which is a major plus. I enjoy the fact they have a large price range as well because they offer something for everyone to enjoy & afford.

Keep your eyes out over the next week! As many of you know I have a special Children's gift basket put together for one Lucky winner to receive for the Holidays, This Place is a Zoo has agreed to donate Two stuffed animals into the gift basket [both $15 or under] along with many other fabulous prizes]****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

EdenFantasys Review

2011-11-02T20:15:00.000-07:00

The Holidays are fast approaching many couples have been thinking about what to buy for their children,Siblings kids,Friends & more but have you planned out what your buying for your Significant other or as a gift for both of you? Edenfantasys carries a variety of Sex toys to spice up the love life,add an extra little flare or make for a great Honey moon gift.Please keep in mind that this is an Adult sex shop so if your not 18 or over please do not click on the links. I run a family friendly blog but I do support couples in their decisions to spice up their love life & want to help by letting them know about this Safe & great website.

Some of their couples toys include Love games such as the "Do it game: spinner game",Love notes" & "Erotic roulette" which all cost under $20 perfect for the couples on a tight budget. My personal favorites from their website is their Sexy Lingerie selection they have a wide range of Sizes,Colors,Patterns,Styles & Fabrics I like being able to look for exciting outfits so EdenFantasys is always a place I head to when I want to look for a sexy new pair of Undies or find a great bra.I enjoy the fact that they offer Plus Sized lingerie I have a larger bust size so I often have to order a larger size other wise tops won't fit. I often try to find sites that have outfits that are sexy but still cover up a little bit I am not fully comfortable with my body so I like the outfits that offer a little more,which EdenFantasys caters to perfectly. I have personally received Lingerie & a Costume from EdenFantasys so I know they have great customer service,Fast shipping,Perfect prices,& I have never had any issues using the site,receiving shipments or had any issues with replies from their customer service,They also offer a low flat rate shipping price. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.A Gift card was Provided by EdenFantasys for the Review free of charge****

Dale & Thomas Popcorn Review

This review post is slightly late by a few days but this company also has some fantastic goodies for the Holidays. For the Halloween holiday I was sent a Spooktacular Halloween Gift Box from one of my favorite companies called Dale & Thomas Popcorn.

The gift box was filled with two footlong bags of gourmet popcorn (Twice-As-Nice Chocolate Drizzlecorn & Hall of Fame Kettle Corn), Parmesan & Garlic Cheese Sticks and Milk Chocolate Popsters (freshly popped caramel corn dipped in rich milk chocolate). I have tried their popcorn before my family & I love it but we haven't tried the Parmesan & Garlic Cheese Sticks or Milk Chocolate Popsters. I have to say the Chocolate Popsters were quite interesting they tasted almost like milk duds but with a chewy soft inside made of popcorn we were all a big fan of the popsters & I would buy them as a holiday gift for friends & relatives to test out. We enjoyed the popsters but I can't fully say the same about the Parmesan & Garlic Cheese Sticks my husband & I didn't enjoy the as much but my daughter loved them in fact she ate the whole bag by herself. The box the gift set came in was also nice as well,Great for reusing,re-gifting or even for putting other treats in the box was sturdy with a good handle.The Spooktacular Halloween Gift Box is currently on sale right now for $18.50 It would make a great gift even for the Holidays just simple paste some Wrapping paper over the Halloween design & you have a wonderful thoughtful Christmas gift. They also have Lots of Holiday gift boxes with different assortments of items.***This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Advantage Bridal GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-11-01T20:13:00.000-07:00

Along with the Holidays coming up this time of year is also a very popular time to plan wedding dates. All brides love buying & looking at customizable items but how do you know who you can trust to order from? I recently worked with a great company called Advantage Bridal who sells a variety of Wedding items from Invitations to Lingerie.

For a recent review I was sent a Mini Chiffon Jacket in white.The jacket is very soft & breathable to wear the fabric is soft & feels great against the skin as an added bonus there is no annoying tag rubbing against your neck.I love this jacket but do wish I could have got a size bigger my chest is a little too large to fit properly but I still have worn it anyways. The jacket is soft,comfortable & a simple bedroom statement that makes a big impact,I can normally be found in a black band or TV show t shirt,along with Black yoga pants or jeans so its no surprise I usually buy black lingerie but it was fun to surprise my husband with a White lingerie set to match this jacket. They are constantly receiving new lingerie items so their selection changes daily.Another of my favorites from Advantage Bridal I would love to try out is their monogrammed beach towels.Along with wedding items,honey moon items,& Party gifts they also carry Baby & Baby shower gifts.As soon as we decide on our actual wedding date I look forward to ordering many more items from their website.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Luna B. Tee Review

2011-11-01T09:45:00.000-07:00

Every year I like having a Personal Tee made for my daughter & I love picking out a Christmas dress for her to wear in Christmas photos & on Christmas day. This year I choose a personal favorite of mine to get her shirt from,that company is Luna B. Tee who sells personalized T-shirts & more.

For my review I received a very cute white long sleeve shirt with a Red & Green Christmas tree Decal which had been customized with my daughters name[Note photo above is a sample from the Luna B. Tee website not the actual name I had added]. I do not have any photos of her in it yet because I am saving it for when it gets closer to Christmas other wise I know it will end up with a stain or two,But I know it will be a huge hit when she wears it this winter. The thing I enjoy most about the Luna B. Tee website is that ordering a custom shirt is simple & easy everything is set up perfectly. The shipping process is also very simple & ships fast my daughters shirt arrived within a matter of days. I have enjoyed working with Luna B. Tee & look forward to spreading the word about their website to my family & friends this Holiday season.

Keep your eyes open for Next weeks Kids Holiday gift basket,Luna B. Tee has agreed to provide a $20 Gift certificate to their website which will be included in the gift basket.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Halloween 2011

2011-10-31T22:54:00.000-07:00

I have been MIA for a few days getting ready for Halloween,Every year we like trying to figure out a good family costume theme to use this year my daughter wanted to be Bat girl so he father went as two face & I went as Harley Quinn/Swat agent [I looked similar to her costume but her dressed up as swat if that makes any sense]. Just like the year before I did my Husbands Makeup/Latex work which can be seen below.Halloween over all went well we did a bit of trick or treating my daughter had a great time being out & about.

For all of those who have been following my blog for a while & had a chance to see my photo shoot photos for my store you will notice that Yes I did dye my hair to red.My daughter managed to get the most out of her October with three pumpkin patches,a Halloween service at the community center,Plus trick or treating it was a good month.

Now that Halloween is over I will be posting more of my Holiday Shopping Guide for all of you to enjoy along with new giveaways.

KidSafe Inc GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-10-27T20:26:00.000-07:00

It is important for me to feel like we are prepared for Injuries when they happen so I try my best to keep first Aid products handy, I keep a small first aid kit in the car,First aid supplies in my purse & have them in my house but under my bathroom sink is a disaster zone I never had a proper place to store my first aid supplies.

My MediBag First Aid Kit included 117 Items ranging from Band-aids,Burn Relief Gel,Medical Emergency Key Tag,Conforming Gauze Roll,Kids stickers & More it also included an offer for a Free small refill kit unfortunately my daughter managed to get a hold of this & ripped it to shreds so It won't be able to get used. I love that this kit includes all of my needs & Holds all of the first aid supplies I already had plus some room,I am also thankful I have the different sized band-aids available I cut my hand today at work so having fresh band-aids to use ready at hand is great.

HairUwear Review

2011-10-24T21:52:00.000-07:00

One of the things I have always been a little interested in is Hair extensions but I have never wanted to get the glue in types & didn't think clip in's would look as great until I found HairUwear.

For my review I was sent a Headband Extension in my hair color.Here is some information on it from their website "the headband extension features 21" long Tru2Life® heat-friendly synthetic hair on interchangeable headbands that allow you to add instant style and length to your hair. Just as with real hair, this soft, natural-looking fiber can be curled or straightened with thermal styling tools to create any style you want. Including two easy-to-attach headbands, the piece can be put in and taken out in a matter of moments." I can honestly say that right now it looks a little bit silly on me because the front half of my hair is still blue so you can tell I am using extensions If I still had all brown hair it would look perfect. My fiance being silly decided to try it on though he ended up putting the headband too close to his forehead it made me laugh because he looked like an 80's rocker.HairUwear offers a large selection of extensions in different lengths & colors,I had a hard time deciding which color matched my hair best but the color I received matches my hair perfectly.The hair looks & feels real I try to keep it in its original packaging to keep it safe & untangled.I enjoy this product & look forward to using it more when my hair is all brown again. My next adventure I want to try is wild color hair extensions.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Lust Cosmetics Review

2011-10-24T21:49:00.000-07:00

If your looking for a way to spice up your love life a massage could go a long ways, & what is a better way to spice up a massage than with Edible Warming Massage Oils in various flavors. A great company called Lust Cosmetics sells a line of Edible Massage Oils perfect for the occasion,warming massage oils can be used for more than just a role in your sex life they can also be used during a relaxing massage when your stressed out from work.

Usually when I come home from work I have a stiff neck & sore back so massages always help my fiance isn't a huge fan of using oils because he says they make his hands feel nasty but I made him use the Lust Cosmetics massage oil on my neck & back I didn't notice a huge amount of warming sensation but once you start giving a deep tissue massage you can definitely feel the oil start to warm up sometimes a massage leads to other things as well if the setting is right. The Wanton Watermelon smells fantastic it is my favorite out of the three I received,Shipping was fast shipping was perfect & customer service is fast and friendly. Lust cosmetics also offer other fun romance products.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Bioken GIVEAWAY & Review

2011-10-20T09:39:00.000-07:00

I am used to having Frizzy dry hair so I am always on the look out for the 'Perfect' shampoo that can help bring life back to my hair & I think I may have finally found a great combo that works best for me. I recently had the chance to work with a company called Bioken on a product review of their Bioken Enfanti Color Care Shampoo & Bioken Enfanti Color Care Conditioner.

I enjoy both the shampoo & conditioner I was sent they work well & smell great at first I couldn't quite figure out what the scent reminded me of until my second or third wash but to me they smell like citrus. I find that i get the best results if I mix a little bit of John F. full repair, My hair always smells great,feels silky smooth,Hydrated & has a beautiful natural shine to it. After I started using the Bioken shampoo & conditioner I noticed a difference in my hair after the second or third wash ever since I have received many compliments on how my hair looks,how soft it is & how it smells. I also noticed that unlike other 'Color care' shampoos & conditioners the Bioken Enfanti line actually helped keep the color in my hair instead of having it wash down the drain,I love this shampoo/conditioner set & will be buying more of it when I run out. Bioken offers other hair care products for various hair types if you have been having issues finding the perfect hair care product for you I would head over to a local department store or the Bioken website to check out what they have to offer you.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Diamond Candles Review

2011-10-20T08:45:00.000-07:00

I love candles but I do not get to buy them often,Why? Many times the candles I think smell nice are out of my price range but I found a website that makes the price of the candle seem like nothing, You may be wondering why that is & I am here to let you know. Diamond candles sells a variety of scented Soy candles each has a Mystery ring waiting inside that ranges in price from $5 to $10,000 which is a deal you can't beat along with the fun it brings.

For my review I was sent One Strawberry Bliss Candle,as soon as I knew the candle was shipped I was very excited for the candle to arrive because yes I mainly wanted to see how my ring would look,I knew that even if I didn't get a ring I liked I would still own a great new candle.The first thing I noticed once the candle was out of the box is it smells amazing even my hubby commented on how great the candle smelt. It took about an twenty minutes for the candle to burn down to the ring [Mine was almost at the very top so I didn't have as long of a wait time like others have had] my ring was a bit small for my finger & isn't quite my 'style' so I let my daughter use it for her dress up. The candle itself is worth the price,the candle is large,smells delicious & lasts for hours I have had mine lit five different nights for 5+ hours & there is still more than half of the candle left their website suggests that it can burn for 125-160 hours of fragrance which I believe is absolutely true. The only thing I could see about these candles that I don't really like is the fact that there isn't a way to pick a candle with a ring size,If you have a larger ring size & end up with a 5 or 6 then your forced to give the ring away. Over all I am very happy with my candle from Diamond rings & I would buy from them again I have mentioned their website to fellow candle lovers at work. If you are curious to see what kind of rings have been found you can head over to their Facebook page to check out customer photos of their candles & rings. Diamond candles are a fun,well thought out product & would make an excellent gift for any occasion.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Original Sprout Review

2011-10-19T23:09:00.000-07:00

This next review I am excited to share with you because it is perfect for the entire family,The companies name is Original Sprout who sells bath & body products. For my review I was sent a few products for my daughter to try out which are as follows: Scrumptious Baby Cream,Miracle Detangler & Natural shampoo.

I can honestly tell you right now that there is hardly ever a time where I like my toddlers products enough to want to use them myself but after using the Scrumptious Baby Cream on my daughter twice I realized that it smelled amazing,left my hands smooth & moisturized for a long time so naturally this product was 'Stolen' & became 'My lotion'. I love this lotion I use it nightly after I shave,I have enough left in my bottle for one more application before its gone so I will be buying more as soon as I can,this product doesn't leave a sticky or greasy feeling on your hands & makes your skin feel silky smooth. Original Sprout offers products that are vegetarian/vegan & biodegradable,Free of phthalates, phytoestrogens, soy, gluten, animal products, parabens, and propylene glycol with no added dioxanes or formaldehydes,Free of skin penetrators & photosensitizers (plasticizers & nanoparticles) & have more fantastic features meaning that these products are not only great for you but for our environment & animals as well.

Another favorite is the Miracle detangler it works like a charm on my daughters hair weather she just jumped out of the bath or has been playing for hours it always gets the tangles out without any fuss from my toddler. The product comes out in a light mist which applies evenly to the hair,It has a sweet scent which makes the atmosphere in the room very calming after I have used it which may or may not be because I take a moment to enjoy the smell of the product haha. We do also enjoy using the Natural shampoo often times when my daughter is taking a bath she is like every other toddler that hates getting their hair washed with this Natural shampoo even if it gets in her face it doesn't bug her eyes or make her cry as an added bonus she smells great after getting out of the shower. Original Sprout will be a house hold favorite for some time to come,I work as a cashier & I also make jewelry so my hands dry out easy with their lotion its like the dryness was never their I will be visiting their site soon & I suggest you do the same if your looking for fantastic products.Use this code FIRST_ORDER_10-U at www.originalsprout.com to get 10% off your first order****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.
