Enter the 5-hour ENERGY® “Yummification” Video Contest & Prize Pack #Giveaway - Ends 8-22

My husband has used 5-hour ENERGY® for as long as I can remember when he's had long shifts at work several days of the week to help give him a little boost to get through the day. I've personally never had them before now. I figured if I was going to be writing about them it was about time I gave them a try for myself right? I first took a little taste of the shot by itself to see just what it tasted like straight. I have to say I now understand why they created this contest, it was a little bit on the strong side for my preferences. So I mixed up the rest of it with some orange juice to go along side my bagel for breakfast. I was having one of those mornings where I just couldn't get myself going so I figured why not put it to the test right off. After I finished my breakfast I began my usual morning activities. I started to notice that I had a little more pep in my step as I went on with my tasks. I didn't feel sluggish or groggy anymore, I actually felt pretty good! Now I can understand why my husband keeps these in his lunch bag at work.

Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant & Anti Monkey Butt Powder

Certain Dri^® Solid Anti-Perspirant:

• Created specifically to complete the line of Certain Dri antiperspirant products for those who want the same 72-hour protection from excessive underarm perspiration in a solid application.
• The product is specially-formulated to provide everyday, all-day dryness for those who suffer from excessive underarm perspiration.
• Certain Dri® Solid Anti-Perspirant contains 25% aluminum sesquichlorohydrate (Anhydrous). It is the only over-the-counter antiperspirant with this ingredient, which is more effective than the aluminum zirconium formula found in over-the-counter solid antiperspirants that are labeled “clinical strength.”

Going to the big leagues just got easier! Step up to the plate with Certain Dri Anti-Perspirant and enter the Certain Dri “All-Star Antiperspirant” Sweepstakes for a chance to win our MLB All-Star baseball game prize package!  The Certain Dri “All-Star Antiperspirant” Sweepstakes runs until May 23, 2011.  One random winner will win a trip for two to the 2011 MLB All-Star game and the Homerun Derby (travel accommodations included) in Phoenix, Arizona along with a supply of Certain Dri. 

Lady Anti Monkey Butt Powder:
Cornstarch + Calamine + Patented Microparticle Polymer
Say Good-bye to Chafed Thighs! Lady Anti Monkey Butt Powder is specially formulated with patented satiny smooth powder to minimize the frictional discomfort that women often experience when using exercise equipment, running, driving, cycling or just walking. Its unique ingredients work quickly to absorb sweat and provide cooling effective relief of irritation on the inner thighs and other areas of the skin prone to rubbing.

The Anti Monkey Butt Powder “Sponsor My Butt” Contest runs until May 31, 2011. Ten lucky teams will be randomly selected to win a prize package. Winning teams will also be able to share photos and videos of themselves on the Anti Monkey Butt Powder Facebook page.

My Take:
I'll spare you the pictures of me applying Certain Dri and Lady Anti-Monkey Butt Powder, I think you can figure that all out on your own. : )  I will just tell you how much I liked both products.  The Certain Dri had a mild scent and seemed to go over very easy. I gave the Certain Dri to my son who seems to always "forget" to put on his deodorant. Hopefully this will help out when his little mind seems to wonder else where besides remembering deodorant before school. Maybe the long lasting protection will save the day! I've used the Lady Anti-Monkey Butt Powder a few times and love the results. Since I've put on a few extra pounds I will admit my thighs sometimes rub my pants and sweat when exercising which can be uncomfortable.  The Lady Anti-Monkey Butt Powder instantly keeps my skin soft and absorbs the sweat to keep me dry. I like that the powder has a light pink coloring and nice scent too. 

Giveaway CLOSED - Congratulations to the winner you have been notified via email and have 48 hours to reply or a new winner will be chosen.

Mother's Day with iChair Cases

Give Mom a gift to protect her investments!

About the iChair:
In designing iChair, we kept simplicity and functionality at the forefront of our strategy. Based out of Dallas, Texas and founded in 2010, iChair is the creation of a few crafty individuals who saw the need for a stand on their Apple devices. The passion that Apple consumers have for their devices inspires us here at iChair to design and develop revolutionary products that can change the way we all use our mobile devices. By producing quality cases, we know our passion and desire to make your life just a little easier will only continue to grow just as much as our love and appreciation of technology has. We are committed to providing excellence for all of our products, so we welcome you to visit us frequently and contact us anytime. We’re here for you – so just sit down and relax, and let your iDevice stand. Warm wishes, The iChair Team

Does the iChair case offer complete shock protection?
The iChair gives you great protection against everyday wear and tear, but if you plan on throwing it against the wall or out your car window, then you’re pretty much out of luck.

Does my case include a Screen Protector Kit?
Of course, iChair always includes a screen protector, dust cloth and squeegee board with all of our cases.

What colors can I choose for my case?
iChair comes standard in black, with your choice of an extra blue or white slider top piece.

Does the iChair case have access to all buttons and ports?
Yes, all of the buttons and ports are easily accessible at all times.

My Take:

These are pictures of my iPod Touch fitted with my new iChair Case. I really like the look and feel of the case itself. It makes me feel a lot more comfortable about handing my iPod to my daughter (5) to play games on it.  The case seems pretty strong and sturdy. I do wish however that it snapped together a bit more tightly. The case itself comes in two pieces you slide together from top and bottom.  I can say it has never come off when using the iPod (even when my daughter dropped it) so I guess it is doing it's purpose as is.  I like that you have the option of choosing your extra top piece color. You can get either white or blue.  This makes it nice for households that have more than one device in use to differentiate between them without having to turn them on.  It even comes with an extra screen protector which was a plus for me, mine was getting a bit scuffed up from my nails and my daughter playing with it. The cases are $34 each with free shipping which may seem a bit pricey to some, but if you ask me it's a small amount for protecting such a large investment.  It does the job it claims to do and makes me feel a lot safer than when I had the old silicone cover on my iPod. And it has the extra "chair" feature that other cases don't offer.  I like to leave my iPod standing up when I am charging it to keep it from getting warm on the backside, and my daughter likes to stand it up when she is watching a video on it. They also offer an iPad Case I imagine would be great for this also. If I had an iPhone I am sure I would use the "chair" feature often to keep my phone upright on my desk so I could see when I get phone calls who it is. The only tip I have is when using the chair tab on the back make sure you actually pull it out all the way, otherwise you'll be in for a surprise when you go to sit your electronic down and it falls...yes I did this myself!

Giveaway CLOSED - Congratulations to the winner you have been notified via email and have 48 hours to reply or a new winner will be chosen.

Win it: Two lucky readers will win their choice of an iChair for iPod Touch or iPhone 4. This giveaway will end May 7th at 10 PM EST. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email. If no response, a new winner will be chosen. Open to residents of the US.

Mandatory Entry:(Mandatory entry must be completed first or bonus entries don't count.)  *Tell me which you'd choose if you won the iChair for iPod Touch or iPhone 4.

CLOSED: Mother's Day - Pretty Woman Nail Accessories Giveaway 5-3

 HOT OFF THE ‘PRESSES’

Pretty Woman Nail Accessories, Fashion at Your Fingertips

The must-have “It” accessory for 2011 is bling – but it’s not jewelry.  It’s bling for your nails.  Hollywood’s hottest celebrities like Katy Perry, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Blake Lively are making nail art a style statement all its own.  From the couture runways to Tinsel town’s red carpets, everyone is rocking this year’s biggest beauty trend. 

“Manicures are no more limited to just a coating of your favorite nail color,” says Richard Mallon of Pretty Woman USA, a leading manufacturer and supplier of artificial nails, nail foils, nail art, nail polish artificial eyelashes and a variety of accessories. “From rock stars to Hollywood’s A-listers, no outfit is complete without this fashion accessory.” 

Pretty Woman’s Airbrushed Nail Kits

It isn't always convenient to run out and get a manicure. You may not have the time, money or the resources. You may not even have time to paint your nails and wait for them to dry. Dry nail appliqués are a great solution to all of these issues. Pretty Woman offers at-home DIY Airbrushed nail kits available in fashion forward designs, colors and ease of use.  In minutes, you can have a professional manicure that lasts up to days. “Professional nail art services at spas and salons can be expensive with prices starting at $55.00 per manicure,” adds Richard.  “Pretty Woman kits offer a wide selection of designs and colors starting at $5.99 available at Rite Aid stores nationwide.”

About Pretty Woman USA

Pretty Woman is leading the market in bringing new and innovative products in the artificial nail category.  The company’s new Metallic nails and nail foils have been introduced to retailers and the professional market over the past year.  Its extensive libraries of designs are specifically developed to expand upon the same ‘beiges and pinks’ that are already redundant in today’s USA Planogram.  They are designed to increase the market while not cannibalizing what is already there.   

My Take:

I love it, these sound like a great idea for mom this Mother's Day. Why not glam her up and then take her out to a nice dinner! If you have trouble getting traditional nail polish to go where you want it to like I do these would make a great alternative!

Giveaway CLOSED - Congratulations to the winner you have been notified via email and have 48 hours to reply or a new winner will be chosen.

Win it: One lucky reader will win 2 Airbrushed Nail Kits. This giveaway will end May 3rd at 10 PM EST. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email. If no response, a new winner will be chosen. Open to residents of the US.

CLOSED: Mother's Day - A Gourmet Hazelnut Gift Set Giveaway 5-2

Gourmet Hazelnut Gift Set:

Everyone knows a shaker 'n’ baker in the kitchen! Give them a gift that allows them to explore their passion using high-quality nuts and gourmet oil…let’s just hope they share those nutty chocolate truffles and yummy hazelnut spreads!

Gift set includes:
        Hazelnut, Blanched 2.5oz
        Hazelnut, Whole Natural (Filberts) 2.5oz
        Roasted Hazelnut Oil 250ml

Flanigan Farms' popular, quality hazelnuts perfectly compliment La Tourangelle's Roasted Hazelnut Oil, and make this gift a hazelnut lover’s dream come true!

The oil adds a rich hazelnut taste that excites salads, grilled meats or fish, pastas and baked pastries. The gourmet oil also works as a great substitute for butter with pasta, potatoes and beans. Consider using hazelnut oil to flavor cookies, cakes, pastries and candies! When used in combination with chocolate, the taste can be decadent, and give off a taste similar to Nutella®, a hazelnut and chocolate spread.

Hazelnut oil is a tasty kitchen ingredient that comes packed with numerous health benefits. It’s the best known source for Vitamin E, which is essential for the healthy heart muscles and other muscles of the body as well. Suitable for medium-high heat.

The Gourmet Hazelnut Gift Set is nestled in natural excelsior and packed in our classic packaging, creating a beautifully clean presentation that is sure to impress any home chef.

My Take:

Flanigan Farms has a wonderful selection of Gift sets to choose from for every nut lover in your life!  You can read my review of some of their products on my previous post.  I know my mom loves almonds so I've been eyeballing the Gourmet Almond Gift Set for a gift for her.  Their gift sets are very inexpensive and shipping is a flat rate of $5.95 for orders up to $50 which is great too!

Giveaway CLOSED - Congratulations to the winner you have been notified via email and have 48 hours to reply or a new winner will be chosen.

CLOSED: Savvycents Coupon Wallet R&G 4-30

Great gift for mom this Mother's Day!

About the Savvycents Coupon Wallet:

The Savvycents coupon wallet is not only a functional organizer but also fashionable. It contains everything you need to organize your monthly or weekly budget using a cash and coupon system. With an accordion style file system inside the wallet organizer you can separate money, coupons, receipts or store discount cards by spending categories. Your coupon wallet comes with file cards where you can label each category with our pre-printed labels. There are also blank labels where you can customize your coupon wallet based on your personal spending categories. You no longer have to carry envelopes or zip lock bags to separate your money and coupons. Your change will fit nicely in a coin pocket located on the backside of the wallet.
It also has 6 pockets for debit cards and store discount cards. On the opposite side there is a place for your driver’s license and a place for your checkbook. Wallet is 8” x 4”

My Take:
I received the black coupon wallet for my review. This wallet was just the answer I was looking for.  I've been thinking for sometime now about instilling a weekly cash budget system for grocery shopping.  This made it easy to do just that. Now when I hit the bank I can put the weekly budget money right into my coupon wallet separate from everything else. Plus after I am done shopping I can put any money leftover right back into the wallet for those extra necessities that sometimes come up. I can also keep all my store shoppers cards handy and easy to access during checkout. I've found this is much easier to carry my coupons in too rather than the plastic container I was using before. I always felt weird carrying the box into the store with me.  Now I look stylish and hip! I just put my license into the wallet when I head out and take it along with my shopping bags into the store, it helps keep me on track not having any credit cards handy to make impulse purchases with.

Giveaway CLOSED - Congratulations to the winner you have been notified via email and have 48 hours to reply or a new winner will be chosen.

Win it: One lucky reader will win a Black Savvycents Coupon Wallet. This giveaway will end April 30th at 10 PM EST. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email. If no response, a new winner will be chosen. Open to residents of the US.

CLOSED: Hard Candy Make-up R&G 4-29

About Hard Candy:

Hard Candy amazes with off the charts products, intense color, wild packaging and a flair for the dramatic. The name invokes all things girly and sweet while the brand brings in an edge and attitude. Truly the best of both worlds. Hard Candy products are sold exclusively at Wal-Mart stores. Hard Candy Fox In A Box is brand new to the Hard Candy spring 2011 collection. Take Me Out Glitter Liners are available in five sparkling shades including silver, teal, purple, gold and blue.

My Take: 
I love it, such a fun and unique line of make-up. Hard Candy is great for really any age. My daughter (5) even tried to snag them when I opened the package.  I think it appeals to teens with the hip packaging, but as an adult I really like it too. I love the variety of colors they offer, and the great prices. Most of the products are right around $5 each. I like that they come in such unique colors. I never would have thought of purchasing a sparkling gold eye liner. However, I really like the way it looks. Plus it goes on so smooth I can use it on my daughter like eye shadow and it makes her feel like a big girl using make-up like mommy! The blush in a box is really cute too, I love how the brush stays out of the powder with the elastic strap on the lid. I know what we'll be looking for next time we go to Wal-Mart!

Giveaway CLOSED - Congratulations to the winners you have all been notified via email and have 48 hours to reply or a new winner will be chosen.

Mother's Day with Theme Kitchen

California Wine Kitchen Linen Set

Simple, quick and easy - That's why we created our Theme Kitchen Linen Sets! Add functional pieces to your kitchen without compromising your decorative theme with our 4 piece California Wine Kitchen Linen Set! Set includes two kitchen towels, one oven mitt and one pot holder. Essential pieces for any kitchen! Keep your wine theme fresh and complete!

My Take:

This kitchen linen set is wonderful, it's excellent quality and the colors are so vibrant. The towels were so soft I was tempted to keep the border towel to use in my bathroom as a facial towel. The full print kitchen towel was very smooth to the touch almost like silk. The pot holder and oven mitt were a bit stiff and starchy feeling, but I imagine they will loosen up after being washed.  I plan on giving this set as a gift so I didn't want to wash it myself first.  I would have kept the entire set for myself, but it doesn't go with the theme already in place in my kitchen.  I will be watching the Theme Kitchen website though because they are always adding new items and lines to their collection.

CLOSED: Bioron Sabadil® Review/Giveaway 4-20

About Sabadil®:
Allergies interfere in our lives year-round—they make our noses run, our eyes itch, and we can’t stop sneezing. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), allergies affect about 50 million Americans each year—disrupting our daily routine and making it impossible to concentrate at work, during family time, or while out with friends.

That’s where Sabadil® steps in. A complete treatment solution, Sabadil contains a blend of homeopathic medicines that helps address various allergy-related problems including hay fever and other upper respiratory symptoms, such as itchy and runny nose, sneezing, and itchy and watery eyes. Sabadil works safely and naturally without causing side effects such as drowsiness or sleeplessness, and it is non-habit forming. There’s also no risk of overdose and no interactions with other medications.  The tablets dissolve quickly under the tongue; no water, chewing or swallowing is required—making the medicine easy to take anytime, anywhere. More information can be found by visiting http://www.boironusa.com/products/sabadil.php.

My Take: 
I suffer from allergies and so does my husband, son, and daughter.  Yes we are all a mess, I blame it on the fact that we live in the country and there is a field next to our house that is planted every year. I am sure it's not to blame for all of our problems, but I do notice when they are harvesting that some of us are really affected. I have tried several of the products in the Bioron line and have had great results with them all. I would say I am looking forward to testing out the Sabadil® but in a way that wouldn't be true. I don't want to suffer with allergy symptoms, but I am looking forward to trying a product from a company I have come to trust over the years.

Giveaway CLOSED - Congratulations to the winner you have been notified via email and have 48 hours to reply or a new winner will be chosen.

Win it: One lucky reader will win a package of Sabadil®. This giveaway will end April 20th at 10 PM EST. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email. If no response, a new winner will be chosen. Open to residents of the US.

Host a Baby Shower with help from Party City

This past weekend I hosted a baby shower and while doing so I was able to use a baby shower them party kit I got from Party City. I got the Pooh Baby Days shower theme to use as part of a product review.  I have to say every piece was totally adorable.  And I didn't need to purchase anything else to go with the set, it included all the decor and table service I needed.  I got a ton of complements too on how cute it was.  The decorations were quality and I was able to take them down, fold them up, and save them for next time.  Then I can visit Party City for my other baby shower supplies to go with the set.  They even have some great baby shower favors that you can get to go along with the party from guest favors to little gifts for the new mom.

 

Here's a picture of a few of the hanging decorations (in the background), the table cover, and a centerpiece.

And here's one of the Baby Shower banner.

The kit I got included paper decorations, cups, plates, napkins, flatware, table covers, invitations, balloons, streamers, confetti, and a tiara for the new mommy. They have a variety of party decor packages to choose from to fit your party size, and you can always purchase extra supplies to accompany a set too. 

A BIG Thank You goes out to Party City for sending me this AWESOME package to make this day extra special for the mommy-to-be. 

Giveaway CLOSED

Win it: One lucky reader will win a $50 gift certificate to Party City. This giveaway will end April 17th at 10 PM EST. The winner will have 48 hours to respond to my email. If no response, a new winner will be chosen. Open to residents of the US.

TempleTouch Thermometer

It's amazing how something so small and simple can be such a blessing sometimes. The Premium TempleTouch Thermometer fits in the palm of your hand but the benefits are BIG.  It's simple and convenient to use which is a plus for a busy mom like myself.  I work from home so having a sick child isn't quite as inconvenient as it would be if I worked somewhere else and had to take a day off. But I still have a desk that is overflowing and work to do. That's why it's nice to find products that can help having a sick child home a little less time consuming.  TempleTouch Thermometers can be used even if the kiddo is sleeping. You simply press it against their temple and wait a very short time (6-8 seconds) for the beep indicating it's ready for you to read the temperature. No having to stick it under their tongue and watching the clock waiting for time to be up. It even keeps the last recorded temperature in memory when you turn it on again so you can gauge if their temperature is raising or falling.  The thing I really liked besides the quick and easy way to take their temperature, is that it also features a ODPT® – Over Dose Protective Timer. Man if I had this all these years it would have been like having gold!  How many times do you give your kids medicine then look at the clock a few hours later going uh...what time was "Little Johnny" supposed to get medicine again?? I know I've caught myself doing that over and over, and everytime I think I should really write this down so I know when to give them medicine again.  Now with my very own PremiumTempleTouch Thermometer I don't' have to worry, I just set the timer and go.

Award-winning, economical, reliable, accurate, and non-invasive, the TempleTouch® Premium is the world’s only combined thermometer for both temple & underarm measurement in a new innovative design. Another breakthrough in thermometers, its unique design & technical capabilities, which enable parents to receive quick and accurate temperature measurement by just touching the infant’s temple or open armpit. The temple area is a comfortable and easy measurement site, accessible when child or patient is awake or asleep.

Features:

    * Measurement locations – temple and underarm

    * Instant measurement, 6 – 8 seconds

    * Room Temperature display.

    * Large and easy to read back-lighted LCD

    * ODPT® – Over Dose Protective Timer.

    * Recalls last reading recorded

    * Celsius/Fahrenheit scale readouts

    * Simple to operate, no scanning required

    * Family friendly, safe and gentle enough for newborns

    * Meets ASTM Accuracy requirements

TempleTouch even has a TempleTouch Mom Blog website chalked full of useful information.

Pet CFL Light Bulb

Looking for a bulb that can not only add some light to your room, but also help control the pet dander floating through the air?  Then the Pet CFL bulb is just what you are looking for.  We are pet lovers, we have two cats that pretty much have the run of the house. They do what-ever they want where-ever they want and when-ever they want.  Really, you can be sitting in your chair minding your own business, and up one comes making themselves at home on your lap, no matter what you are doing. (Actually as I type this the kitten is curled up in the center of my lap.) I don't complain and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love them both just like my kids. The one downfall about having two cats in the house is all the floating pet hair, pet dander and occasional pet like smell.  Having installed one of the Pet CFL bulbs in my living room where we spend most of our time I am certain has cut down on the amount of pet dander, and I don't even notice the animal scent when I come through the front door anymore.

Keep your dog. Love your cat (as much as a cat will let you). Enjoy your parrot's chatter. Control the dander with Pet CFL. For many pet owners, the price for their pet's companionship in their home is watery, itchy eyes, a stuffy nose, coughing and sneezing as their body reacts to allergens in pet dander. Allergens collect on fur and adhere to walls, clothing and other surfaces, and once airborne, stay suspended for long periods of time. Pet CFL, energy efficient Compact Fluorescent Lightbulb, cleans the air, removing pet dander as well as cigarette smoke, pollen, mold, germs, dust mites and more with a built-in ionizer that also emits serotonin-increasing negative ions to refresh and energize. Pet CFL uses 1/5 the energy of incandescent bulbs so it reduces the carbon footprint. Clean, healthy living with inside pets has never been so easy, or responsible.
Pet CFL helps remove any animal dander - so it's a great option for veterinary practices, kennels, and indoor areas such as training/boarding/grooming facilities.

Watch Pet CFL negative ion technology remove smoke in 30 seconds.

Purely Products is a company that gives back. The founders of the company started a nonprofit diaperlove that provides diapers to babies in need. Changing diapers. Changing lives. Did you know that WIC and Food Stamps don't pay for diapers? Crazy, right? I have heard horror stories of moms actually washing out their disposable diapers to reuse them. Oh, I know, if only they knew about cloth, but...some moms don't even have access to their own washer/dryer, or aren't allowed to use laundromats for diaper laundry... so I'm glad to see a company reaching out to moms in need. When you shop at Purely Products, you are "buying for bottoms" as well, so you are helping out too!

Healthy Night Light

Looking for a product that not only gives you a soft glowing light and cleans your air at the same time? Then the Healthy Night Light™ is the product for you.  I was provided with a night light for my reviewing purposes and couldn't be happier.  I first installed it in my office space where I spend the entire day so I could test it out first hand for myself.  I little prologue to show just how good this light is, I had previously been sick for several weeks with a cough among other things. Well even after the other things were better the cough was still there..that was up until I had installed the Healthy Night Light™.  After just a few days of working in the office space with the light installed I noticed when I was in the room I wasn't coughing like I had been.  And I also noticed the dust on my desk wasn't collecting as quickly. I am in love with this thing and can't wait to get some more for my two kids rooms.  They both suffer from allergies and my son has asthma so I think having a light in their rooms would help them both sleep better.
