Halo Sleepware- Dino Pajamas
review/giveaway Closed!
  Halo Sleepware has the best pajamas for babies and children.  Not only is this sleepware breathable but it is perfect for little ones with sensitive skin.  Nothing keeps your baby comfortable longer than new ComfortLuxe™ Sleepwear from Halo.    
  The National Eczema Association (NEA) has awarded the Seal of Acceptance to HALO® ComfortLuxe™ Advanced Comfort Sleepwear. The NEA Seal of Acceptance is awarded to products intended for children and adults with eczema or sensitive skin.
  ComfortLuxe is a smart fabric, lightweight and knit to allow fresh air to circulate to keep the skin cool, dry and comfortable, regardless of the time of year.  ComfortLuxe has unique properties to release moisture from your little one's skin in exchange for fresh air to help maintain a stable body temperature which in turn helps prevent the onset of triggers (usually heat and perspiration) which cause the itch/scratch cycle to begin among many children who suffer from atopic dermatitis, a common form of eczema.     ComfortLuxe fabric helps to manage this trigger, control discomfort and minimize eczema flares to protect your little one's delicate skin.

This smart fabric also won't absorb lotions or topical creams on the surface of the skin to help maximize their benefits and promote the healing of skin irritations.

Happiness Is......Peanuts: Snow Days review

review
  As a child I always loved Fall and Christmas time TV specials.  Halloween time brought on the Great Pumpkin and Christmas time would have us all feeling so sorry for poor little Charlie Brown and his Christmas tree.  What group of television characters were in these special films? Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang is the adorable crew, created by Charles M. Schulz, that we all loved to watch every year at these times. These shows are still being played on television around the holidays today. The difference being that back in the 60's we only had 3 television channels so they were easy to find.  These days you will have to scan through your cable or satellite to catch when they air.

Silk Fudge review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway Closed!

Who doesn't love some good ole' fudge? It is hard to beat this delicious dessert.
I reviewed some of the best fudge I have ever ate from a company called Silk Fudge.  This fudge gets it's name from the silky taste of the best creamy chocolate to be found. Silk Fudge ingredients are simple, great quality chocolate, cream, butter and sugar.  Every batch is tasted to make sure their isn't any sugar grain in it.
This wonderful fudge recipe was passed down from grandmother to the grandaughter and owner of Silk Fudge.   After opening a small fudge -making business in her home, it soon became so popular that the fudge business spread to a larger town and store. The Silk Fudge company continues on today with many, many customers.

Hydroxatone Face Cream, Lashatone, & Wrinkle Reducer review/giveaway Closed!

 review/giveaway

 Every now and then there is a product, that I review for, that is better than better.  Hydroxatone is one of these products.  Their Anti-Wrinkle Complex is awesome!   After I have cleaned my face I apply this moisturizer all over and on my neck.  I love the way this cream feels on my face. 
This A.M / P.M Wrinkle Complex reduces the appearances of fine lines and wrinkles.  It also helps improve the skins firmness and increases skin hydration.  My face has never felt so smooth and soft!
Clinical studies agree 100% that Hydroxatone A.M/P.M improves the appearance of the skin and improves moisturization.  This product stimulates the production of collagen which promotes visible anti-aging results.
I recommend this moisturizer to all woman and men. 

Tell A Story Language Game review

 review

Educational Toys Planet has learning toys. They are unique, hand-picked and fun to play with!  Safety is a very important part of their choice of games to sell.  Their manufacturers guarantee that all their products comply with all applicable safety standards and laws. Educational Toys Planet is confident that their toy store is selling the best educational toys for kids.
I was asked by ETP to review the game " Tell A Story Language Game."  This game is  really fun and it teaches early vocabulary skills.  Each player of this learning game uses his or her own memory skills to collect all five story cards about a particular character. After that, the story you discover is up to your own imagination! With the Tell a Story Language Game you can arrange your five colorful and durable cards in any order you want to tell your own story. Did the ringmaster wake up the lion at the circus? Or maybe he actually lulled the excited lion to sleep! The sequence of the story is entirely up to the player. Your child will love playing this quality game from Educational Toys Planet produced by the famed Ravensburger, German toy company. An enjoyable way to make learning language arts and early vocabulary fun! The playing time for Tell a Story Language Game is about 15 minutes.

The Rise and Fall of Margaret Thatcher DVD review

review


 Just released on Oct.18, 2011, on BLU- RAY / DVD Imagery, "The Rise and Fall of Margaret Thatcher" . This is a 3 part story of Margaret Thatcher's life as she led the United Kingdom for more than ten years.
 The first part of Margaret's story is told in the film The Long Walk to Finchley". Here young Margaret Roberts meets her husband-to-be Denis. The film tells of  Margaret Thatcher's steely determination to get selected to a 'winnable' Tory seat in the fifties. Margaret is an ambitious twenty-something research chemist on the first rungs of the ladder to Parliament. Margaret is outspoken and works hard to gain a seat in Parliament.
 In "The Long Walk to Finchley" Margaret is played by Andrea Riseborough who " gives Thatcher humor, drive, and sex appeal..." stated by the London Evening Standard.

Kaskey Kids review

review


Kaskey Kids is a really great store for sports loving kids. In 2002 Christy Kaskey wanted to develop toys for her sports loving children and to bring back the older type of toys her brothers used to play with. Those toys being cowboys and indians and army men. Together Kaskey toys came together and developed  fun and imaginary play.
Kids have been playing with action figures for years. Sports have been a part of children's lives forever. Kaskey Kids combine both of these interests to inspire countless hours of creative entertainment that your kids will absolutely love.
My grandaughter loves gymnastics and she takes classes to perfect this awesome sport.
I reviewed one of the GoGo Girl  Sport dolls.  Maya is a darling gymnastic doll.  Maya is aapproximately 14" in height, and made from high quality cloth which is safe and durable. She is soft, comfortable and light to carry, easy for a child to take with her to play or sleep.
There are  eleven dolls and each has an inspiring message embroidered on their tummy and comes with a backpack and appropriate equipment. Maya's message says,""Dream Big Score Goals".
Maya loves to tumble! Her favorite move is a back handspring. She likes the balance beam, too. Before practice or a meet, Maya always stretches, listens to music, drinks water and eats a healthy snack, like blueberries. When she’s not at the gym, Maya likes dancing and playing violin.

CrazyDog T- Shirt Gift Card  Closed!
 review/giveaway


I am a huge tee shirt fan.  I wear them with my jeans basically everyday.  One really cool place that I just received a new tee shirt from is CrazyDog TShirts.  This online web store has some of the most unusual, funny, and totally different shirts you will ever see.  I loved watching all the Chevy Chase vacation movies so I chose the "Wally World" shirt from the Movie T-Shirts catagory on the left hand side of the home webpage. This shirt reminds me of the time in the movie when Chevy Chase and his family arrive at the Wally World theme park only to find out the park is closed.  Such a very funny movie and a very funny shirt.

Scentsy Candle Warmer and Scent ($40) review/giveaway Closed!

($40) review/giveaway

Sherry Southwick is an independent consultant for Scentsy and she allowed me to review one of her beautiful warmers and also a pack of the awesome smelling scents.  I can't tell you how much I love these products!
 
Scentsy began with a simple idea—a safe, wickless alternative to scented candles—and quickly grew into one of the most successful direct selling companies. This wickless concept was born when two stay-at-home moms began selling decorative warmers designed to melt scented wax with the heat of a light bulb instead of a traditional wick and flame.
I love the fact that I can leave it plugged in and it will continue to keep the house smelling great for days.  Where as with a wick candle you have to blow it out and never leave it unattended while burning. 

Miracle Skin Transformer review

review

Crier PR sent me this wonderful body moisturizer to review.  But, this is not just another moisturizer it is a beauty enhancer.  This Body SPF 20 is for use all year round.  Miracle Skin Transformer is a double-duty natural skincare that offers a new high-performance tinted treatment that transforms the appearance of arms, legs, and body.  You can use this moisturizer all year round.
This skin transformer has a UVA/UVB SPF20 that protects your skin from the sun's rays. It also contains an anti-inflammatory that calms the skin, an antioxidant that prevents signs of aging and corrects damage, it hydrates the skin, and it tightens and tones the skin.
Miracle Skin Transformer SPF20’s first-ever naturally derived silicone formulation is designed to improve skin texture, minimize fine lines and pores and reduce pigmentation spots over time.

Lance H. Brown M.D. Clinical Assistant Professor of Dermatology highly recommends the Miracle Skin Transformer. He states that MST’s ingredients offer a natural alternative to the multitude of products available in today’s market. The real beauty of MST is that it offers all of this in one product. This makes it easier to use and enhances compliance.

Tonka XT Ricochet Trickster review

Tonka XT Ricochet Trickster
I am so happy to be a BZZ Agent  because I get to review some awesome products such as this Tonka XT Ricochet Trickster.  This is really a great toy for children.  The remote-controlled, two-sided stunt vehicle lets you be able to do freestyle stunt-driving.  The Trickster car is tough enough to perform all the tricks kids love.  Even if it flips over, it keeps on going. When the car hits the wall it will just flip right over.
The Tonka Trickster worked better when the kids played with it indoors on the carpet and hard floors. When they took it outside it didn't seem to go as well because they had to  stay close to the car or it will lose the signal.  Inside it was easier to stay close to it because the area is smaller.

Cooper and Me Book review/giveaway Closed!

Book review/giveaway Closed!

Cooper and Me is a great book for children. Parents will love the meaning of the story and will also enjoy sharing this book with their children.
Illustrated by 11 year old Alexa Peters and co-written by her mother, Monique Peters this book was inspired by Alexa's own experience with her first day of school.
Alexa is frightened and nervous about going to school and she is sad because she can't take her best friend Cooper to school with her.  Cooper is a Labrador Retriever.
This story helps young children understand about fear of separation and the anxiety of trying new things.
