Eyes Cream Shades Review and Giveaway!!


You always make sure to protect your little one when they are out in the sun. You smother them in sunscreen, give them plenty of water and feed them healthy foods. What are you doing to protect their eyes from harmful sun rays? Eyes Cream Shades offers quality sunglasses for your little one, offering great protection in stylish shades cool enough for any little fashionista! My little divas all got a pair! My oldest got these cute Thin Mint "Iced Flavors" shades, which are shades of green/turquoise gradient frame with pc smoke lense.


She loved them, which is great because of all my kids, she is the one who is the pickiest about her fashion. Anything she doesn't like or want to wear, she doesn't. She literally changes her outfit 5 times a day, has it all coordinated from purse to shoes, and she is only 4!  But luckily she thought these shades were great, and has kept from breaking them, which amazes me!

The middle girl got to wear the Cotton Candy "Cat Eye Walk" shades

She looked totally adorable!  I absolutely loved the old school shape, totally from the 50's! My daughter is very unique and these glasses were a great pick for her! The color was even super cute, she likes girly colors but isn't all about the pink!  So an off pink color was great for her and she was so excited to have new sunglasses!

My "baby" (I am in denial that she will be 2 in a few short months) got the super cute and super durable Pink Licorice "Trends n Bends" sunglasses!


My little one bent them like the minute they were on her face, and I was like uh oh they are going to break, but nope! They actually have sustained lots of her little hands bending them, taking them on and off, etc. This is what totally blew me away.  I mean, not much can withstand the tortures of a toddler! But they have stood up to days at the park, farmers market, walking around and just driving! I love them!!

All Eyes Cream Shades lenses are polycarbonate and provide 100% UVA & UVB protection!  Eyes Cream Shades offers lots of different styles, colors and sizes to fit your child! The high protection was also a big deal, because little kids don't realize that the sun can hurt their eyes!  Keep your kids looking cool when its hot with Eyes Cream Shades!

One of you will win a pair of Eyes Cream Shades for your little one! Here is how to win:

Conair InfinitiPro Salon Performance Hair Dryer Review

Getting that great finished look from the salon is nice, but isn't always affordable.  You can get your favorite look at home for a fraction of the price with the InfinitiPro Dryer from Conair! It is an awesome hair dryer with 3 temperature settings, 2 speeds and a cold shot button!! Use the low speed with the cool temperature setting for delicate, thin, or easy to style hair. Use the low speed with the warm temperature for average to thick or treated hair. Use the high speed with the hot temperature for thick, coarse or hard to style hair. The cold shot button is great for curls or to set style in place for any hair type.

I loved using this dryer on my daughters' hair. The cool setting is the perfect temperature for little heads I also use the cool setting for my curly hair! The kids love it for blowing cool air on their face to be models!! Great for many purposes!

Conair offers the following styling advice:

Your best looks begin with a good haircut that's well maintained. Always treat hair right with ssuperior quality shampoos, conditioners and finishing products.

This dryer is fabulous because its almost maintenance free!! No lubrication needed! For proper operating performance, the dryer must be kept clean. To clean, you simply wait until it's cool (and of course unplugged), and clean dust and lint from air intake openings with a small brush or the brush attachment from a vacuum cleaner. The outer surface should only be cleaned by wiping with a cloth.

The dryer also includes 2 concentrator attachments, perfect for drying the section of hair that you want!! They easily screw on and off, so you are ready to go in seconds! The dryer is lightweight yet a powerful and effective styling tool!!


Suggested Retail: $38.99

Conair would like hook one of you lucky readers up with your own InfinitiPro dryer!! Here's how to win!

Aetrex Z589W Zoom Runner Cranberry Running Shoes Review and Giveaway


Shoes are a woman's best friend! A great pair of shoes can make or break your outfit! Even shoes for running or other exercise need to be cute!  Aetrex has these great Z589W Zoom Runner Cranberry Running Shoes

Features:


• "Supportive Cushioning" for medium & high arch feet
• Aeromax™ mesh upper with TPU Structured Logo
• Sky™ midsole for soft, long-lasting cushioning
• Web Suspension Footbridge for reinforcement & support
• PRS™ Midsole Technology for pressure relief
Sizes: 5 – 11, 12
Widths:  Medium (B/C), Wide (D/E)


My favorite thing about these shoes is the Mozaic Customization system!  Aetrex shoes can be quickly customized to your feet to provide the ultimate footwear experience. 


Here's how it works...
1. Identify the areas of your feet that experience the most pressure or discomfort.
2. Peel away the Mozaic squares at these areas.
3. Replace the existing undersole layer with your customized Mozaic insoles (see illustration).


After customizing your Aetrex footwear you will immediately feel the difference. You will notice that pressure had been relived and you will experience foot comfort at a whole new level.   I loved this, and I noticed the difference immediately! These shoes are great for exercise, running, biking, or just every day use! The shoes are a bit tall in the heel, but it gives great support and improves my balance and posture.  I usually hate the look of running shoes, but these don't look too bulky even when I wore shorts! They are cute and functional!


I also got to try their Copper socks:

• Non-Binding yarn with Spandex hugs leg without restriction
• Hand linked smooth toe seam for extra protection
• Technologically advanced Moisture-Guard™ wicking system
• Extra cushioning option for superior comfort & shock absorption
• Doctor recommended for diabetes
Fiber Content - Acrylic, Polyester, Nylon, Spandex/
Needle Count-84
Sizes:  M, L, XL

So these socks help you to have less smellier feet! How cool is that?? Definitely something I need to buy for the hubby! ☺ They are high socks, so I would recommend them with jeans or sweat pants of some sort.  They are super soft, comfy and really did help to reduce foot odors!

One of you can win your own pair of Aetrex Z589W Zoom Runner Cranberry Running Shoes here is how to win!!:

Taking Family Game Night on the Road! Review and Giveaway!

Hasbro
Family game night is a great way to keep your family close and have fun together! And there are great games for any age group! Hasbro knows that families travel alot, and so to take the fun of some of your favorite games on the go, they have created some great new card games!!


I got to try out three of them: Sorry Revenge, Yahtzee Hands Down and Mille Bornes Card Game.  Here is a bit about each one!


Sorry Revenge:
SORRY! REVENGE Card Game


Win the race to flip all of your pawn cards home and sweet revenge is yours! Take turns to play number and action cards to change the play pile’s total. Get the pile to 21 without going bust to get one of your pawn cards home. But watch out – someone could play a SORRY! card and steal your win!
Includes 109 cards, 1 reminder card and instructions. For 2 to 4 players.
Ages 6 and up.
This game is a fun alternative to the regular Sorry! game, and is really easy to learn how to play! It gets everyone excited and involved, and is great for many families!
YAHTZEE HANDS DOWN Card GameKeep your wits about you and your eye on the cards! Collect dice cards to make classic combinations: 3 of a kind, 4 of a kind, small straight, large straight, full house and YAHTZEE! Re-roll by discarding cards you don’t need and taking a chance on new ones. But here’s the twist – pit your hand against another player’s. Score high and win the Combo card points. It’s great YAHTZEE fun in a card game!

Includes 12 combo cards, 12 chance cards, 84 dice cards, 1 starter card, 1 reminder card, 1 combo sheet and instructions.
For 2 to 6 players.
Ages 8 and up.
I love the original Yahtzee! This game is a fun twist and it makes it a refreshing new game while still a bit like the original! Also easier to keep the pieces, since you don't have a bunch of dice to keep track of!
And also I played Mille Bornes Card Game!
MILLE BORNES Card Game



Put your foot down… it’s time to play MILLE BORNES! Play distance cards and speed towards the finish line, or put the brakes on your opponent with nasty hazards! Drive carefully, because they’ll be playing hazards on you too. Out of gas? Play a Gasoline card. Got in an accident? Play your Repairs card. Be the first player to travel 1000 miles and win!
Includes 115 cards, instructions and scoresheet.
For 2, 3, 4 or 6 players.
Ages 8 and up.
I had never heard of or played this game before, but I was so excited to try it out! This was definitely my favorite, because not only are you playing to stay alive, but you are trying to set your opponent back too!  This game is fun no matter if you have 2 or 6 players! What a great way to pass the time!
Hasbro would like to help your family have your own Family Game Night with these great card games!! Here is how you can win!:

4 Moms Clean Water Infant Tub Review and Giveaway!





head_4mmslog_BSS
Bath time with a little one can be a bit nerve-wracking. Are you using water that's too hot or too cold? And what about your baby sitting in a tub of dirty water??  A parent can get stressed out over something as simple as bathing their baby! New moms and dads everywhere fret over this simple task, and we wish there was something better to use.   4 Moms has us covered!  Introducing the Clean Water Infant tub!


Thumb_cleanwater_tub1
This tub is nothing short of amazing!! It has so many features, its hard to know where to start! The first thing I should point out is why they call it the Clean Water tub. There is a drain on the side of the tub which allows dirty water to go out,while clean water comes in through the reservoir. Simple but genius!  Of course, you have to keep the water running to keep the cleanwater going and to keep water in the tub, but bath time for a baby usually isn't too long anyways! All you need is enough time to wash hair and body and rinse, usually about a 5 minute job.


Next, there is a digital thermometer.  It features not only the numbers, but a color guide to know right away how the water will be for your little one!
Ther2


This gives you great peace of mind that you won't hurt your baby, and she will be comfortable in the tub! The tub even comes with a great rinse cup, so its always close on hand and easy to use! This makes bath time as painless as possible, and makes for a quick job if need be!  I only wish I had this tub with my older 2 kids!! It is cleaner, easier to use and I love that it has 2 height settings depending on what works for your baby! 


So just who came up with such a great baby product?  The amazing team of experts at 4 Moms! Here is a bit about the company:

We may be a small company, but we have some big ideas. We’re dedicated to finding innovative solutions that make parenting tasks easier and more enjoyable for families all over the globe.
Our company is named after 4 real live moms (well, actually 5 moms, but 4moms makes a better name, so one mom adopted the nickname ‘The Stealth Mom'). Jenn, Cindy, Kristen, Elizabeth and Erin were 4moms’ original focus group, and ever since that first meeting, they’ve been contributing their insights and expertise to our products (between the five of them, they’ve got 15 kids, so they know their stuff!).
Our search for experts didn’t stop at 5 moms. Since the company began in 2005, we’ve added product and graphic designers, web developers, business professionals, engineers and roboticists to our team. Together, we design and build the innovative products we hope will help out parents and babies everywhere.


This tub will transform the bathtime experience for both you and your baby.  You will be able to enjoy the time together instead of making a stressful event! There is no better joy in parenting than being able to enjoy simple things together. The thing is, soon enough they will be 6 years old and not want you around. You will miss the days when your baby wanted you around, and needed your careful watch to make sure they are ok. Plus who doesn't love a great smelling baby after a bath?!? 


You can win your own CleanWater tub! Here is how to win:
