Zoobies Pets review/giveaway Closed!



Zoobies    Closed!
review/giveaway


Zoobies have been named one of the best toys of the year by several toy companies and sites.  These adorable plush pets are irresistible to a child.  From a pet to a pillow.  These Zoobies come in many different styles of pets.  A dog, giraffe, monkey, zebra, hippo and several more.  I love that this soft, cuddly animal can become my child, and yours, best friend.
I reviewed Poco the Pup.  He is the cutest floppy eared puppy ever!  The extra plus to the pillow is the blanket tucked up inside it.  Your child would be able to play with the puppy and then when they become tired they can pull out the blanket and rest their head on the pillow.

How To Maintain A Good Credit Score

How To Maintain A Good Credit Score

Are you planning on buying something in the next few weeks but you don't really know where you stand as far as your credit goes?  Today you really need to have a good enough score of numbers when it comes to someone lending you money.  What is a good number?  Scores can range anywhere from 300 to 800 but the average person's usually runs from 500 to 750, with the 750 being really good.

Potty Training Book from Galloping Minds-5 Winners review/giveaway Closed!

5 Winners!
    review/giveaway Closed!

 Potty training can be a trying job for any parent.  My grandson is 2 1/2 and still isn't trained.  We get so frustrated because we have tried it all, stickers, prizes, praises, you name it, we tried it.  Then I found a great website - Galloping Minds, with wonderful products, and the best product for us - the Potty Training Little Ones book.
This book has a great story for little ones to be able to understand.  It breaks down each step, from being in diapers to washing your hands after they go.  The pictures are drawn so that little ones are able to relate to the action being done in the story.

Identity Threft and Identity Fraud review

Identity Threft and Identity Fraud
Wouldnt it be great to know we live in a world where no one steals or cheats others?  Sadly, we don't.  Idenity Theft and Identity Fraud is on the rise across our country more today than ever before.  It has become so easy for thieves to steal your social security number or credit card numbers.  With cell phones having cameras these awful people can just snap a picture of the numbers without you even knowing it.  From there they can open accounts up or suck the balance from accounts by charging up your cards everywhere.

Doodlebuckets $100 Gift Card  Closed!
review/giveaway


Wow!  Is something I would like to say about Doodlebuckets!  If you are looking for a  baby gift basket, diaper cake, party centerpieces, and more then you really must look at all the amazing things Doodlebucket sells.
There are gift baskets for mom, dad, and gourmet baskets.  There are even gifts for big brother/sister and lil' brother/sister.  I could look at Doodlebucket's gift items for hours because each gift is different and unique.
When I was allowed to do this review/giveaway I wanted to choose a basket to review.  This was super hard because truly, they are all wonderful. I knew I wanted it to be a baby gift so I finally decided on the Frog Prince Personalized Gift Basket.
My daughter is expecting a baby boy in Oct. so I thought about what all she would like if she received this basket as a gift when he arrives

Find It! Game review/giveaway Closed!

Find It!  Game  Closed!
review/giveaway

Find It is the best invention of a game ever!  These cool cylinders hold thousands of recycled plastic pellets and tiny objects inside for you to find..  The objective is to find all the objects on that list and a penny.  Yes, a penny.  The penny is very difficult to find, probably because it weighs more that the other objects.  Just shake, roll, turn round and round until you get them all.  This game is very addicting and definitely not just for kids!

Noblo Beach Umbrella Buddy review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway



Have you ever been enjoying the day at the beach, under your umbrella, and all the sudden a big gush of wind comes along and leaves you, and everyone around you, chasing umbrellas down the seashore?
If this has happened to you then you need to purchase the Noblo.  Noblo is a vinyl bag filled with sand and it attaches to the umbrella to keep it anchored in the sand.
Bess Abraham and Kathleen Pisano witnessed  a horrible accident and then they understood the urgent need for umbrella safety.   These ladies knew that we can teach ourselves and our children about beach safety but flying umbrellas is something we have no control over.  Together  with their creativity and safety measures they developed the Noblo.

PCPool Covers
review
Do you have a pool and need it covered?  Maybe because winter is on the way or because you have little ones and you are afraid for them near the pool.  Either reason is a great reason to check out pool covers at PCPools.  They carry covers for in ground and above ground pools and round or rectangle pools.

Getting Married

Getting married is something I’ve always wanted to do but when it came time I got really nervous. I had always lived at home with my parents and I wasn’t sure if I was ready to leave them but I’d spent months looking at my http://www.satellitestarinternet.com/ and planning out everything from the napkins to the flowers. I couldn’t wait for the big day but I was really scared that I was going to faint in front of all those people but lucky for me it went just fine – perfect, actually! My husband is wonderful and he was really patient when I was kind of freaking out but I’m really glad that we made it through with no major hurdles. I can’t imagine what life would be like without him and I don’t even remember what it was like not to be his wife! I hope I’m a good one and though I miss my parents I feel like I’m really adjusting to my new life well. I guess it’s all part of growing up!

Treat and Conceal ----review

review
Erase imperfections and impart a natural radiance with this next-generation 3-in-1 concealer. The first-ever, naturally derived silicone concealer, Treat & Conceal covers with powerful hydration, treatment, and protection benefits.
Treat & Conceal works to HYDRATE, ENHANCE, and PROTECT with powerful ingredients.  This concealer adapts to virtually all skin tones naturally. It also fills in fine lines, while smoothing out and refining pore texture resulting in firmer, brighter and even-toned skin.
Available in 3 Shades: LIGHT   LIGHT/MEDIUM   MEDIUM I let my daughter review this wonderful product because she has severe pregnancy acne.  I had her try the light to medium shade.  We could not believe the results after she applied the Treat and Conceal.  She used the concealer underneath her foundation and the acne was covered up very well.  After using this treatment for one week we could see a huge difference in the size and amount of blemishes.  Treat and Conceal worked wonders.

The Grace Card DVD review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway


Websters Dictionary says the definition of grace is, " unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification  : a virtue coming from God."  I say grace is the kindest gift we can receive from God.  Premiering today, the movie "The Grace Card" is a super fantastic movie that will really get you to thinking about all the love that God truly has given each one of us.  Without his grace we would be hopelessly lost.

Online Banking - The New Safe Way To Bank


Are you afraid of putting your information online? Are you still paying bills by mail? Are you still making your deposits the old way by driving to the bank and depositing your check there? You may be scared to try online banking because you just don't really know what it is all about. Banks know your privacy is the first concern when handling you information. That is why it is so important that you check out all their credentials and know that you are able to trust them thoroughly before beginning the online banking experience. Banks don't want to lose your money, or your trust, and this is why they take every possible measure to keep all of yours, and others, information as safe as they can.

The Pink Monogram - Win a Monogrammed Zebra Tote---review/giveaway


review/giveaway

When I review for companies, there are some of those that I would not be able to say enough good things about.  The Pink Monogram is one of those companies.  I could really shop all day in this boutique. 

Monica Smith taught school for 20 years before she opened her own monogram/internet site.  She began monogramming things she could not find in stores and is still continuing this today.  The Pink Monogram has been honored with several great moments.  Some of these being:  The "O" list on Oprah.com in 2008 & The Pink Monogram again made Oprah's favorite in 2010 when their High Heel Monogrammed Clogs appeared in the July 2010 Magazine.  Also, Monica was honored to be nominated for Business Person of the Year by Greenville,SC  Magazine.

The Pink Monogram sells 2000+ monogrammed and engraved gifts.

Colic Calm for Babies review/giveaway Closed!

 review/giveaway

Oh! The sleepless nights and the terrible feelings you have when your baby has the colic!  Nothing can feel as bad as those awful stomach pains your precious newborn feels when he has gas or acid reflux.  All they know to do is cry and all you know to do is walk them, rock them, anything to help ease their pain.  The trouble is, there doesn't seem to be anything that works.  Not until now.  Colic Calm is the answer to your heartache and your babies horrible pain. 
I reviewed Colic Calm on my youngest grandson.  He has had colic and a bad gassy stomach for 4 mths. now.  We bought every drop available and tried every Dr.'s suggestion and nothing worked.  Switching formula didn't seem to help either.  Then one day I came across Colic Calm online.  I was allowed to review it on the baby and truly after 1 dropper full he seemed quieter and able to sleep better.  He really seemed to like the taste too.  After 1 week of using Colic Calm we all saw a different baby.  No more high pitched screaming and sleepless nights.  He took his bottle and kept it down.  Truly amazing! 

Find Your Education Online


At the age of 40 I have decided I need to go back to school.  I am through raising children and with tons of time on my hands I figured I might as well do something with my life. Nursing is what seems to interest me.  I checked with our local college and they only except 15 students per semester and that is if I qualified for their program. This delemia brought me to looking at online colleges
The advantages of the online colleges are several:
People can earn their degree while still working full or part-time.
 An online degree program allows you to study on your own time with less cost.
Students can avoid the cost of room and board associated with campus programs and also save on transportation, as they don't need to commute to class.

My True Nature Shampoo & Body Wash review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway  Closed!

At My True Nature™, they believe that childhood is sacred. They spend every second thinking about how to make everyday activities for kids safe and fun. The first task was to figure out how to make kids laugh in the bath. When the owner of My True Nature started using her products at home, she put cartoon labels on the bottles to make them laugh.  Her kids loved them, and that’s when the idea for TubbyTown™, a make-believe bath-time wonderland, was born. TubbyTown™’s residents currently include Dewey the dragon, Daisy the skunk, Clio the teddy bear and Ollie the octopus. Each has its own distinctive personality, and its own dedicated bath-time product. She  knows your little ones will look forward to playing with them each time they step into the tub just like her children  do.

Shirtzz.Hoodiezz. T-Shirt review

review 

Are you looking for some cute tees or hoodies for back to school?  No matter what the reason just about everyone loves t-shirts and hoodies.  I reviewed for Shirtzz.Hoodiezz.com and Chris Lamar, owner of this cool company, sent me the cutest Panda Peace t-shirt for me to review.  I really think this tee is super cute and so does my grandaughter Nicole.  Nicole liked it so much she took it away from me!  It was a little big on her but that was because it was an adult size tee.  One thing about the t-shirt that I noted was that they run a little small. They recommend you to buy a size up when ordering one.

Robby Wash Ball review/giveaway Closed!

Robby Wash Ball  Closed!
review/giveaway


I reviewed this truly awesome Robby Wash Ball and I have to say it truly is fantastic!  Like anything new, that looks different than my usual laundry detergent, always makes me wonder if it really will clean my laundry.
I am a very picky laundry person.  I want it to look and smell fresh.
When I received the blue Robby Wash Ball I noticed the ball was filled with little round beads.  These little  macromolecules are gradually released through the wash, dissolving dried-in stains by generating ions which activate the water molecules. This increase in the pH enables the activated molecules to penetrate deep into the fabrics and attach themselves to the stains. As the motion of the drum agitates the clothes, the stains come away easily from the fabric and dissolve in the water. Of all the systems on the market, Robby Wash's effectiveness is tested, proven and guaranteed.
I also received 3 extra packs of these macromolecules for replacements when the other ones are gone.  Watch this video to see how it works.

I was lucky enough to review a wonderful product from Magic Cabin.  I had my grandchildren try the Super Water Slide.  They absolutely loved this slide.  We have been experiencing temperatures around 108 here in East Texas so playing outside is not exactly a fun thing.  But, with the Super Water Slide they were kept wet and cool and this made play time a whole lot better.

Fiber One Cereal Closed!


review/giveaway Closed!

I have really been watching my weight a lot here lately.  Being 50 years old is a time when everything you eat seems to show on our bodies.  I guess our metabolism has slowed down a bunch.  Not only has my metabolism slowed down but some of my regular body activities have also.  Eating more fiber has become essential.
I received a box of Fiber One 80 Calorie cereal to review.  It tastes like  honey with a little sweetness.
Each crunchy wheat and corn puff square in every bowl of Fiber One 80 Calories cereal has a light honey flavor – a delicious way to start your day.  Fiber helps satisfy your hunger and helps you feel full, making it a great tool to help manage your weight.
Does your current breakfast keep you full until lunch time ?

Himalayan Salt Rock Lamp review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway

One of the prettiest products I have ever reviewed would have to be the Himalayan Salt Rock I received from the Himalayan Salt Shop based out of Bloomfield, NJ.  This salt rock is such a beautiful addition to my home decor plus it is so helpful for ridding my home of unhealthy allergens in the air.

Are you wondering what a Sock Rock really is?  I had no idea either until I researched it and read all the wonderful information that these rocks are about.

Tropical Traditions has yet another wonderful product they let me review, their All-Purpose Cleaner.  This is a really wonderful cleaner.  I used it on my stove top,counter tops, appliances and everything  in the kitchen.  I also took it and used it on my bathroom toilet seat and the bathroom sink.  It really cleans good and leaves a great shine.
