Ocean Saline Nasal Care review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway

Thanks to Brittany and  RLA associates for allowing me to host another review/ giveaway for them.  Ocean Nasal Care has 3 new products for anyone to try.  These products range from newborn to adult care.  Ocean Nasal Spray has been recommended by Dr.'s for more than 30 years.  Since 1973 it has earned the trust of health professionals and millions of people suffering from chronic nasal congestion, sinus congestion, dry nose, and irritated nasal passages resulting from allergies, sinusitis, sinus infections, colds, rhinitis, nasal surgery and more.
Studies have shown that people with chronic sinus symptoms who consistently practiced nasal irrigation reported a decrease in symptoms (congestion, runny nose), an increased quality of life and a reduced use of nasal sprays and antibiotics.

It’s also inexpensive, takes only a few minutes and is easy to learn.

The first product I had reviewed was the Ocean Premium.  My husband has litterly been on the medicated nasal spray since a child and he is 52.  Dr.'s have told him to quit using certain ones because they are addictive.  They can also wear out the nasal membranes because of the medication in these sprays we were told.  So I let him review this for me.  He really liked the spray.  He had to use it a little more often than the other spray but I feel that is because he has got to get used to this type of spray.
OCEAN® Saline Nasal Spray contains 0.65% sodium chloride saline solution made isotonic (0.9%) by the addition of preservative systems and buffers which reduce nasal irritation. OCEAN® contains benzyl alcohol and benzalkonium chloride as preservatives

Another of Oceans products that I personally love, is the Ocean for Kids.  I babysit for a 4mth. old and this baby stays so stopped up and congested.  I tried the Ocean for Kids on him and by using it once in the morning and once in the evening I could tell a huge difference in his nose being so stuffy.  Ocean for Kids is .
specifically formulated for newborns to children up to 12 years of age.

NachoMama Tees review/giveaway closed!

Review/Giveaway
Do you get tired of wearing t-shirts with the same old store names on your tees?  I really like to wear t-shirts that have a funny or cool saying on the front. 
Never have there been so many custom t-shirts with this many sayings as the ones you will find at NachoMama Tees.  They have so many different catagories of t-shirts.  There are 80's t shirts, Vintage t-shirts, Funny t-shirts and several more to look through to find the one or ones you just have to have.

I chose the Bon Temps Football t-shirt above to review from NachoMama Tees and it is adorable!  My son loves wearing cool t-shirts.  He loves this t-shirt not only for the look but for the soft, comfortable feel it has. What a cool t-shirt to wear with jeans or shorts or what ever you decide.

SodaStream Review

Review

Erin at SodaStream allowed me to review this awesome soda maker and I love it!  What a wonderful way to make your own soda at home and save money while doing so.

The SodaStream that I reviewed came with 2 empty and reusable bottles, 6 bottles of delicious flavored syrups, a bottle of carbonated water, and the SodaStream machine. Making your favorite soda, flavored sparkling water or energy drink is simple, with SodaStream's wide variety of over 30 sodamix syrups including dozens of regular, diet and caffeine-free options. Flavors include classics like cola, lemon-lime, and root beer...Exotic fruit flavors like orange mango and diet pink grapefruit...Energy drink, sparkling iced teas and cocktail mixers. Each bottle of sodamix makes about 12 liters of soda (about 33 cans!) for around 25 cents per 12-ounce can. 
My daughter is a Diet Coke addict and she said she could not tell the difference between the homemade soda and the store bought kind.
I myself loved the Dr.Pepper taste alike.

Making the sodas are so simple.  Just follow the instructions that are enclosed with the machine and after you make the first bottle you will be able to do it in a matter of minutes.

When the carbonated water is empty all you have to do is simply return the empty bottle online to SodaStream and the cylinder to be cleaned, inspected, refilled and reused. Carbonators may be exchanged online, or at select SodaStream authorized retailers.
   My granddaughter pictured here really loved the Coke Zero.  She never knew it was a sugar free drink and wants some every time she visits.

Silly Bands Factory review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway
Alison has graciously allowed me to review her husbands new invention for the so popular Silly Bands.  This wonderful dad is an engineer and an inventor who developed these bands for his children. This dad, Josh Malone, believes he has  figured out how to keep the silly band going strong forever. He has created the Silly Band Factory.  It is a kit with which kids can make their own silly bands. I myself have 8 grandchildren and I know how much these kids love the silly bands.  The new invention for the Silly Bands will definitely make these bands more fun. 

Josh wants every child to be able to enjoy them as much as his 8 children do!

You've seen them everywhere, those crazy silicon silly bands.  I'm sure your kids have come home from school with a few dozen wrapped around their wrists.  In the past year, the arms of school kids across the nation have suddenly been encased by them.  The bands stretch off of their wrists and into their respective shapes - maybe an animal or symbol - and then get traded to a new wrist.

This fad has reached beyond gender, beyond demographic, beyond age. I'll bet you've even worn some yourself. There is hardly a kid in the U.S. who hasn't had at least one silly band on his or her arm.  Retailers in all industries from toys to sports and even building supplies have jumped on board, stocking these bands in hundreds of themes from various companies.


Make your own Silly Bands at home!
Silly Band Factory kit comes with a peg board, 32 pegs, and 24 specially formulated silly band hoops that can be formed into millions of unique shapes. The user simply creates a dot-to-dot outline by placing the pegs in the pegboard, then threads the silly band hoop in and around the pegs, then bakes it in the oven for 15 minutes @ 200 degrees.  After cooling, their custom silly band shape is cured and ready for wear, play, or trade.

Face Candy Couture review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway

Shantle is the owner and designer of this wonderfully colorful eye color shop.
I was excited when she allowed me to host a review/giveaway for this awesome shop of hers. And what a cool name, Face Candy Couture, it just sounds beautifully yummy!

I reviewed 3 of my favorite colors and Face Candy Couture chose 3 others. The 3 I chose were, Almost, Calm, and Sweet Innocence. I am nearly 50 so I really prefer the browns,tans,light pinks and taupe colors. These 3 were very hard to pick because Face Candy has soooo many beautiful colors.

Here is a picture of Sweet Innocence shown on the eyelid.
Beautiful isn't it?
The 3 colors Face Candy chose for me were Shout,Cotton Candy, and Sweet Duece. I have a 14 year old gradaughter who loves these 3 colors. They are a little more bright and spunky. But very pretty!

Funky Fish review/giveaway--Closed!

Funky Fish Closed!
Review/Giveaway

How many times have you heard "Please I promise I will tend to my fish everyday if you buy me one"  ?  If you are a parent like me, then it has been a dozen times or more.  Only to end up with the poor fish being fed twice as much as he should of been the first few days to starving the poor thing to death weeks later.  Then to sadly have to flush the poor fellow down the toilet after you found him floating upside down in the dirty water fish bowl.  I had 3 children and I know first hand just how well children want a darling goldfish or one of the other cute little fishes that you can find in all Super Centers everywhere and then after a few days we moms end up doing all the work they so demanding promised they would do.  Well, now 2 smart moms got together and found a solution to the goldfish syndrome.  Funky Fish is now the fun way to get your child to love to tend to the goldfish.

Check out Become the awesome online store

A Great Online Store

With Christmas just a week and a half away I still had last minutes gifts to buy.
My nephews are really hard to buy for and considering they are all three very athletic I have a really hard time finding just the right gifts for them.  That is I did have a hard time until I discovered a wonderful online store named BecomeBecome is a great place to find just about anything you are looking for.
Become carries everything from toys to computers to clothing. 
I found a pair of Nike Men's NIKE NIKE5 ZOOM T-5 FS SOCCER SHOES for one of my nephews for the really low price of $69.  He will really love these great shoes and I really loved the price.
Become also carries the really cool foam basketball sets that all the young boys are really into.  I chose one set for one of my other nephews.
Lastly, I needed a lacrosse rebounder for the other nephew.  I was not familiar with this piece of equipment.  I was told he wanted one really bad to help with his lacrosse.  Then I researched it online and also who sold them. Become was the best priced and the one store with several different kinds. 
So I bought all 3 nephews their gifts from Become and I was amazed at what an easy process it was.  The selection is wonderful and the prices are great.  Check out  for your last minute gift ideas and for just about anything else all year long.

I have 8 grandchildren, 5 grandsons and 3 grandaughters, and they all wear, and LOVE boxers! Caroline was kind enough to allow me to host a review/giveaway that will let all my readers see what gorgeous work she does making these adorable boxers.
Pelangi in the Indonesian language means “Rainbow” and a rainbow of colors and prints is what Caroline's clothing is all about.

Bali Indonesia became a permanent home for her in 1986 when she married a man from Sumatra. After his death in 1997, she chose to stay in Bali so their two children could grow up knowing their father's heritage and culture. For the past 20 years she have been designing and sewing handmade batik children's clothing and patchwork home accessories together with a Balinese friend and now her daughter, who is in her last year of High School in the US.

Glee Gum Kit review/giveaway Closed!

Review/Giveaway
Wow! What kid,umm and most adults, wouldn't want to make their own gum?!!  This is the coolest thing ever!
When I was given the opportunity to review for Glee Gum I became very excited.  I have 8 grandchildren, all gum chewers, who I knew would go crazy over this.  The difference in this gum and the gum they are always buying is, this gum isn't bad for you and it also helps conserve the rainforest.  Now how in the world, you may ask, does gum have anything to do with the rainforest? Well, here is how Glee Gum began.

Butter Bell Crock Review/Giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway

When I was given the chance to review the Butter Bell crock by L. Tremain I was so excited!  But not as excited as when I opened the box and saw it.  I love this cute little crock, it is adorable.  I added the softened butter into the bell part and the water into the crock and let it set a few hours.  When I  checked it out to see if this really works as well as they say it does...I couldn't believe it....the butter was so soft and spreadable... just like the video said.  Then I really became excited!  I have loved butter and sugar sandwiches since I was a child and for the first time in years I ate one.  It was totally awesome! Yum!

  Every home must have a Butter Bell crock.  No more tore up bread when you apply the butter right out of the fridge.  No more hot rolls that get cold while you wait on the pat of butter to melt.  And for once the butter gets actually on the corn-on-the-cob!  This is the best invention since sliced bread.  Let me tell you how the wonderful Butter Bell crock was invented:

Country Bob's Gift Pack review/giveaway Closed!

Review/Giveaway
If you have never tried Country Bob's then you are really missing out on some really good sauce.  I use the All Purpose Sauce in most everything that I make with hamburger meat.  It can be used with any meat.  I have to have it in my hamburgers and meatloafs.  My husband loves to marinate his baby back ribs in the sauce and he also brushes it on chicken while grilling. 
Right now you can enjoy the great All Purpose Sauce, Barbeque Sauce, Seasoning Salt, Apple Chipotle Sauce, and Honey Habonero Sauce.  The last 2 sauces I just mentioned are new to Country Bob's.  Let me tell you this, they are wonderful!  I don't believe I could choose which one is the best!
Just how did Country Bob's get started?  Well, In 1968 Country Bob perfected the sauce of his dreams. After years of giving the sauce to friends and family he began to sell it in 1977. The reaction was overwhelming just as it is today. Almost everyone who tries Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce becomes a lifelong user. And why not, it is the perfect complement to practically any meal set on your table.
Along with their All Purpose Sauce they have expanded our product line to include BBQ Sauce, Seasoning Salt and Spicy All Purpose SauceCountry Bob’s Sauces are available in stores around the nation.
