Ergonomic Pen review/giveaway

review/giveaway


The Ergonomic Pen is a revolutionary pen designed by Dr. Lee to help people with the pains caused by writing.  UGPen stands for Ultimate Grip Pen designed by Dr. Lee.  Once you use this pen you will never want to use another grip pen again.
How was the UGLee pen developed?  Dr. Lee has done his share of writing throughout his academic and professional life. All of the writing required by medical school and physician training took its toll. After trying just about every pen and failing to find a truly comfortable one, Dr. Lee was determined to create his own. Known to even fire his own clay pens, Dr. Lee has experimented with just about every combination of shape, texture, material, and ink mixtures in search of the optimum combination for 
the "Perfect Pen."

Leading Lady Bras review

review
Leading Lady is committed to the quality of their brand. Their products are produced to their own internal, high-quality standards. They employ quality assurance experts globally who are on hand, from the start of production all the way through to the finished garments, inspecting and ensuring that all Leading Lady quality standards are being consistently met.
I was allowed to review a Bra from Leading Lady.  I was very eager to try one of these bras because the quality and prices seemed great. I chose the Cotton Wirefree Latex Free Bra in the color white.
I usually wear underwire bras so I was really interested in trying a wireless one to wear with my tee-shirts.  I really like this bra.  It is super comfortable and lightweight.

MindWare Q- Ba- Maze toy review/giveaway

MindWare Toys for Kids
review

MindWare is not your typical toy company with your typical toys.  The games and more that MindWare offers for your child are full of challenges and skill testing.  Offering products for ages 2 to 12+ , you can find books, puzzles, Science and nature and even classroom activities.  There is sure to be something for your child's imagination at MindWare.
I reviewed Q-Ba-Maze 2.0 for my grandson.  This game takes plenty of patience and is best played by one child.  Q-Ba-Maze 2.0 is a unique system of colorful cubes that interlock to form a marble run. The big difference? You can create marble maze sculptures in the form of animals, geometric shapes or any other design! Configurations are unlimited, allowing for unpredictable action when steel balls travel the various routes. It’s a live demonstration of probability, physics and art, all in one!

Zutano Baby & Children's Clothing review/giveaway

review/giveaway

Zutano has clothes that are as unique as your child is - this is their motto.  The clothes they carry are extremely good quality and the designs are awesome.
Trying to choose just a few clothes for your child from Zutano is almost impossible because there are so many that you will want. 
I was allowed to review 2 sets of clothes from Zutano.  The first product I tried out on my grandson Braxton, was the Pool Multi Stripe Baby Bodysuit.  This one piece bodysuit is so perfect for the summer.  The colors are bright and fun.  This bodysuit has bottom snaps, legs and short sleeves.  Sizes are available in 12 mths. and 18 mths. and it sells for $21.00  I love this bodysuit. 

Pillsbury Baguette Chips review/giveaway

review/giveaway

General Mills, and My Blog Spark, asked me to review this new kind of chip from Pillsbury and I am so glad I did. These little baguette chips look like a small cracker, not a chip, but when you taste one you will see they are not a cracker.  They are crispy, yet not to hard, and just the right texture and size.  These chips can help you round out any recipe.  Eat them as you would any chip; with sandwiches, dips, by themselves, in a soup or salad or any way you want to.  I think they would make a great appetizer, just add cheese, ham and an olive and you have it made!

Mally Beauty review

review

I was allowed to review some of the best make-up that I have ever wore - Mally Beauty is the name of this wonderful cosmetic company.
Celebrity makeup artist Mally Roncal learned at an early age the importance of accepting – and loving – who you are. Growing up in upstate New York, her parents instilled in her the philosophy that “the things that make us different are the qualities that make us beautiful.” This statement has become the mantra by which Mally lives and the power behind it has led to her incredible success.

Sweet Sally's Bakery-- Brownies review/giveaway

review/giveaway

  I love to cook but when it comes to cakes and brownies and such, I just can't do it well.  So naturally when I get the chance to eat someones fresh baked cookies or brownies, I grab them up.
This is why when I was allowed to review Sweet Sally's Rainy Day Fudge Brownies and her Cheesecake Brownies, I was super excited!

Chicken Paprikash Seasoning review/giveaway

review/giveaway

Chef Rick asked me to review his wonderful recipe for a Chicken Paprikash seasoning that he has conveniently packaged for all of us to enjoy.  This is a really great sauce for chicken.
I had never tasted Paprikash before trying this from Chef Rick's so I was anxious to try it.
I baked chicken, fixed the sauce according to the directions and cooked some egg noodles.  When the chicken and noodles were done I poured the sauce over both of them.  The taste was excellant!  Rich and sweet tasting, it was so good.
Chef Rick has been serving this wonderful sauce to diners all over the U.S. for years.

CreaClip review

review

 I have a 3 year old grandson who would rather get a shot at the Dr.'s office than get his hair cut.  He screams and fights us and the poor beautician, it is really embarrassing.  
  Finally a wonderful product is on the market that can fix my problem - the CreaClip.
 This wonderful invention is a life saver for my family.  No more tears and fights over getting a hair cut.  My grandson now jumps up in the chair and is ready to let us cut his hair.  I guess the idea behind a stranger and a strange place cutting his hair versus his being at home and me cutting it, makes him so more comfortable and relaxed.  Now he has straight bangs and no gaps here and there.

I love, love candles!  Good, long burning, great smelling candles are a passion of mine.  I recently reviewed for a candle making company called "Je T'aime", these are some beautifully jarred and awesome smelling candles.
Je T'aime Fragrances is a soy candle manufacturing company located on the sunny gulf coast of Florida in the city of Largo (the Tampa Bay area between Clearwater and St. Petersburg). Denise Cassaly officially launched the business on May 1, 2004 after spending the previous year developing her product line. Denise has had a passion for fragrance since childhood. It has been her lifelong dream to work with fragrances, and this company is the fulfillment of that dream - thus the name Je T'aime "I Love You" Fragrances.

Halloween Suits from Sexy Costume Discounters review

Halloween Suits from Sexy Costume Discounters 
review
I know it is only June and that Halloween is still a good 4 months away, but when we all plan Halloween parties it requires a lot of costumes for this family.  We usually need a man's costume, a woman's costume, a costume for a teenage girl and 3 children's costumes. So it is  a good idea to start buying Halloween costumes now.  Adult costumes are hard to find for my husband because he doesn't like certain ones.  He really likes the scary ones that will frighten other people.

Evenflo Bebek 3-Handle Trainer Cup review/giveaway

review/giveaway




For over 90 years, Evenflo has nurtured babies' growth and development. They understand the importance of the connections developed between parent and baby during feeding time.

This new Bebek 3 Handle Trainer Cup:

  • Promotes smooth transition from bottle to cup
  • Soft spout is gentle on teeth and gums
  • Unique handle is easy to hold from any angle
  • Expertly designed not to leak

I reviewed the new 3 handled cup from Evenflo and I was so excited to see finally someone had made a cup that little children could hold on to.  When babies are 4- 8mths. old it is really hard for them to hold on to two handles.  With the 3 handles placed all around the cup, if they loose hold of one handle there is another one easy to reach.   I love the fact that Evenflo made a cup like this.
