Sand Gone Review & Giveaway!

I spent some of my summer in sunny California, and one of my favorite things to do was hit the beach!! Nothing beats spending the day in the sun, playing in the waves, and playing in the sand. Only bad part is getting the sand off of you at the end of the day!  It can be difficult to get rid of, until now!
I recently got to try Sand Gone! I was a bit of a skeptic at first, but was amazed at how well it worked! Simply dip the puff in the powder, brush the sand off and you're done! No sand left behind,and your skin feels great!  Sand Gone is a dry body powder that when applied to sandy parts of your body removes the sand leaving your skin soft and smooth.  A must for beach goers, it also works great on children after playing in the sand box. All natural ingredients smells like coconut, so you will smell great too!

I am very impressed with how well this product actually worked.  I will not go to the beach again without bringing along Sand Gone! Those showers they have at the beach just don't get the sand off,and this is the ONLY way I have found to effectively remove the sand, and it leaves you smelling great! Do NOT hit the beach without taking along Sand Gone!

Enter to win your own Sand Gone-Sponsored by Tomoson.com!! Here's how!!:

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Exposed Envy Decorative Designer Bra Straps Review & Giveaway

Looking good is always a priority, but sometimes looking good and having the proper support doesn't go together.  I have so many cute things to wear, but hate when my bra straps are showing. It doesn't look classy and so I either don't wear the outfit or go without the support of a bra.  Luckily there are solutions to these types of problems! Exposed Envy offers decorative bra straps so you can get the needed support and still look nice!

Now, these only work with the bra straps that you can remove from your bra.  But there are plenty of those available!  Exposed Envy has so many different designs, so you can get one to go with your favorite outfit!  I liked the ones I got to review-a pair of shiny sparkly ones and a blue floral print one. They are quick and easy to change, and look so much nicer than a regular bra strap. I prefer the rhinestone bra straps, because they look more decorative and less like a bra strap. No matter which one you choose, you will surely look classy with your  new decorative bra straps!

One lucky reader will win an Exposed Envy Bra Strap set!!! Here is how to win!!:

Barielle Nail Products Review & Giveaway!

There is no denying summer time has arrived!! No more hiding your feet-its time to polish those toes and show them off! Barielle offers great products to keep your nails looking their best!  I was lucky enough to get to work with Barielle on this review/giveaway!! They sent me Barielle Ultra Speed Dry Manicure Extender and the Barielle Nail Brightener and the Shades by Barielle in the color Swizzle Stix! I couldn't wait to try them out! 

 

The manicure extender worked really well at keeping my color longer! Since I do all the dishes and stuff at home my nail polish usually doesn't last past one day! This helped keep my nail color on about 3 days!  It was easy to use and dried pretty quick! I liked that it didn't make my nail polish too thick but gave a nice top coat.

I used the nail brightener on my toes since they hadn't seen the light of day for a while! They perked right up and looked much healthier after applying the brightener. This is great to get rid of the dull look any time of year, and I really liked it best for my toes when I don't have a color on them. Since I don't always polish my finger nails, I use it frequently on my finger nails to keep them natural looking and healthy!





The color Swizzle Stick isn't shown here, but it is a beautiful blue color:

 




The nail polish wasn't as thick as other polishes I have used, so I had to do a few coats to get the desired color and appearance. I really liked the nice bright shade for summer! My youngest daughter also loves blue, so she was excited to get her nails done with something besides pink for a change!  Barielle offers so many great colors, so be sure to check them out next time you are wanting a new shade! 


Barielle would like to offer one lucky reader a Barielle Nail Strengthener Cream!!! Here is how to win!!:

Temple Touch Thermometer Review & Giveaway

No matter what age your child is, every mom needs a good thermometer for those sick days.  Knowing how high a bad fever is could be crucial if your child is sick.  Getting your child to sit still to take their temperature is really difficult at times.  Using a Temple Touch thermometer is quick, easy and accurate! You get it over with and have peace of mind that you know what your child's temperature is!

I got to try the Temple Touch Mini! This unique thermometer is small enough to carry in your bag, yet powerful enough to accurately take your child's temperature in 6 seconds-even if your child is asleep! Simply turn the thermometer on, wait for the second beep and gently place on your child's temple until it beeps a third time! You have an accurate temperature and your child can continue to rest peacefully!

I love that the digital screen is easy to read! The Temple Touch Premium is really great-it has a light up screen! This makes it even easier to take your child's temperature without disturbing them! I have seen other digital thermometers cost $50 or more!!  The Temple Touch Premium is only $29.99, and the Mini version is only $12.99!! This is a great way to save money on a great product, without having to sacrifice quality.


About Temple Touch:

The TempleTouch Thermometer is a conductive forehead thermometer that provides the convenience of a non-invasive temperature reading with the accuracy of an oral thermometer. Using Medisim’s innovative R.A.T.E.™(Rapid, Accurate, Temperature Establishment) technology, the thermometer provides accurate detection of the core body temperature using conduction in just six seconds by touching the thermometer to your temple. The thermometer is so gentle it can be used on a sleeping infant or child.

Aurora's "Are We There Yet?" Collection Review & Giveaway!

If you've never taken a road trip, you really should! It's so much fun to drive to a destination and see the scenery along the way! Flying may be easier, buy I love a good road trip! With kids, it isn't always easy. But with fun accessories and a plan, you can make it through with your family and have fun along the way! I recently found some really great stuff for kids from the Aurora "Are We There Yet?" Collection! This new collection of travel accessories for kids make traveling with the littles a whole lot easier!

Aurora Id Tags-Only $6 EACH!!

 I seriously love this collection! These Id tags are mega cute!!  They are great for travel, whether it's across the mountains or across the world! Easy to see and super adorable, these tags will work for boys and girls!  What I really love is the neck rests! Aurora's popular monkey character Cheeky Charlie is a snuggly neck rest for long car rides! My daughters have a tendency to fall asleep if we are in the car more than 20 minutes, so this is great to help with their necks in the car! I hate to see their little heads flopped over the the side.  The neck rests are so adorable and very soft!!

Cheeky Charlie Neck Rest! $13

They also sent me a cute little By My Side Leads Panda!  Which is great because my middle one LOVES Pandas ever since we went to the zoo!  I'm not really a fan of these, because I don't like that they are on a leash. My kids are not dogs. But my daughter really likes it. And her and the youngest think that they ARE dogs so they get to play with a safe leash and pretend to be dogs.  So it works great for them! But I do know that with toddlers it can be hard to keep them close by at times, especially when you are traveling.  This allows your child to run freely but still be close to your side.  It is really cute and the kids love it!

BY MY SIDE LEADS - PANDA-$17

Boiron Oscillococcinum Review & Giveaway!

As a mom, I am really careful of what I give to my kids, especially any type of medicine. I want to be sure that they are safe and that they will help my little one to feel better.  I started using homeopathic medicines with my oldest daughter when she started teething.  I found that using a combo of the homeopathic teething tablets, Orajel and Tylenol gave my daughter relief from breaking in her teeth.  (It gave me relief from all the crying!) I realized that homeopathic medicines are great alternatives to other medicines and have used other homeopathic medicines since.

Recently I have used the Boiron family of homeopathic medicines. My favorite is the oscillococcinum.  It is a really wonderful medicine that helps to fight against the symptoms of the flu and get you back to your regular self in no time! I am a true believer in this, because it worked amazingly for my 2 year old daughter.  She woke up around 5 a.m. in a heavy sweat, and had odd breathing. When we took her to the doctor, they did everything they could to bring her 103 temperature down to a normal one.  Nothing worked-she didn't want the medicine, popsicles or juice that she was given.  She was getting dehydrated, which made her even more irritable and feverish.  I was really scared.

Finally after we got it down a bit, the doctor let us go home.  Her fever spiked again, and that's when I decided to try the Oscillo.  I gave her the little tube and let her take it herself. Within 20-30 minutes her fever was normal and she was running around, playing and having fun.  I couldn't believe that the medicine actually got her up and going! After spending the whole day worrying about her safety, she was finally okay.  I gave her the rest of the doses, and she didn't have another problem with it. The next day the doctor was even impressed with her improvement! She went from being a baby on her way to the hospital to a healthy happy baby!

Oscillococcinum (“Oscillo” for short) works best when taken at the first sign of flu-like symptoms such as fatigue, body aches, chills and fever. It has been shown in clinical studies to help reduce both the duration and the severity of flu-like symptoms. Oscillo’s sweet-tasting, melt-away pellets are safe for everyone two years of age and older, and no water, chewing or swallowing is required. Oscillo works safely and naturally without causing side effects, including drowsiness. There’s also no risk of overdose and no interactions with other medications

Wholesalekeychain.com Heart Keychain with Charm Review & Giveaway!

 Mother's Day is coming up! Time to get those last minute gifts!! I love the Heart with Charm Keychain from Wholesalekeychain.com!  It's super cute and I love it when you personalize it! The personalization makes a great touch to the gift, making it a hit with anyone! It is only $6.99 at Wholesalekeychain.com!  

This keychain is a great accessory and the perfect price! Mine did fall apart after about a month, and I just put it back together.  It isn't the highest quality but it does go through a lot with me too.  So the combo might have been what made it come apart. I got lots of compliments on the keychain! I personalized it to say Lisa & Brian for my husband and I. This makes a great gift and you can customize it for anyone!

Sniffle Buddies Review & Giveaway!

Seems like at any given time of year one of the kids can have the sniffles. Whether its allergies or a cold, having the sniffles can be a drag.  Nothing is worse than having to chase after a child with a tissue, or seeing your child's sleeves with dried up boogers on it. Let's be honest-if your child is playing, she isn't going to stop to blow her nose all the time. She will probably wipe it on the nearest soft thing-her shirt.  Save the shirt with Sniffle Buddies!!

Product Description:
Sniffle Buddies are super-soft, eco-friendly wristbands that were invented by a Mom to assist her allergy-prone son when he was a toddler.  They're now used in the Speical Needs and Sporting Goods world to help out during hand-free moments in life.  Take one along on your next ski trip and "give your glove a break" or check out the "Top 10 Newest Products for Special Needs Children" testing review at www.ableplay.org .  Sniffle Buddies are hand assembled in the USA form 70% Organic Bamboo / 28% Organic Cotton / 2% poly.  The fabric covers USA made elastic and is secured by USA made velcro.  They're washable, durable, easy to use, handy, award winning, and available in up to 11 colors in sizes that fit toddlers to adults.

 I have been thinking my youngest daughter might have allergies.  So I was really excited to try out this product! This fits great on her wrist and is easy for her to use while she is playing!  She is able to wipe the little bit and keep going. Best of all she isn't getting her nose irritated from using a tissue constantly.  The Sniffle Buddies are super soft and I couldn't think of a better material than the bamboo they use! I love the Sniffle Buddies and I'm glad that I found them!


You can buy your Sniffle Buddies now!!
(S) Toddler's bare wrist - $7.99
(M) Adult bare wrist / Child Over the Coat - $8.99
(L) Adult Over the Coat - $9.99

**NOTE** Sniffle Buddies are NOT offered as a replacement for proper tissue use, NEVER for blowing your nose into, and intended for OUTDOOR playtime use unless they're being utilized by a special needs individual - then indoor/outdoor for light drool.

Prefense Non-Alcohol Hand Sanitizer Review & Giveaway!

I am a real stickler when it comes to germs and washing hands. With a family of 5, it is important to avoid getting sick, cause when one person gets it, we all end up getting it!  So I find all sorts of ways to make sure my kids keep the germs away as much as possible! From hand washing timers to yummy smelling soaps, I have used it all.  But one thing that you can't do on the go is wash your hands!! So I am a fan of Hand Sanitizer.  Unfortunately, most of the ones available are alcohol based which means they dry out your skin.

Prefense hand sanitizer is a unique product that is water based yet still gives you the protection you need! Best of all, it even survives through hand washing! One application is good for about 10 hand washings! So even if you are keeping your hands really clean, you get even more protection against germs!

Prefense Hand Sanitizer smells great too. I really like how it leaves my hands feeling. Usually the hand sanitizers make it feel sticky when I'm done.  With Prefense it feels smooth and refreshed.  It helps to fight back against drying, redness and cracking.  As much as I wash my hands and wash dishes, my hands are usually left pretty damaged looking.  Prefense is a great product to carry with you everywhere!

Why Prefense hand sanitizer is superior to others on the market!:

·   No alcohol! Prefense is made of all-natural organic ingredients and has absolutely NO alcohol in it!

·   Our technology protects you for 24 hours or 10 hand washings!  This is what moms really love to hear!  Prefense is non-toxic and safe for kids! It will not hurt you if swallowed!  Prefense is silica based which means it doesn’t dry out your hands like traditional alcohol sanitizers.  It actually smoothes and softens your hands. You can totally see this when you apply it!  Prefense protects against staph, strep, E.coli, drug resistant MRSA strains, and more. We fight germs that other hand sanitizers can’t.   Because “one spray lasts all day” our 1.5 oz Prefense Botanicals Hand Sanitizer offers 120 applications, costing only $.08 per day, compared to $1.20 per day with alcohol hand sanitizers.

You can win a 8oz bottle of Prefense (which offers 640 applications)  Sponsored by Tomoson.com!!:

Part1:Tell me how you fight back against germs!

Purex With Zout Review & Giveaway!

Between my 3 kids, husband and dog, laundry is a never ending battle.  I swear my kids go through more clothes in a day than some kids do in a week!!  My middle child is the worst-if she gets  anything on her clothes she wants to change IMMEDIATELY.  That isn't always easy on my wallet! Getting those stains out isn't always easy either!  Fortunately Purex has come out with Purex Zout!

 The triple enzyme fighting power works deep down on even the worst stains! I have gotten out grass, chocolate pudding, even lipstick!  It has gotten rid of a lot of stuff I didn't think would come out! This has saved me money by not having to replace stained clothing.  I love the way that the Purex works and am definitely switching to Purex with Zout!

What I really love about Purex with Zout is that its tough enough to fight the bad stains, yet is gentle on your fabrics.  Some detergents can be harsh, wearing down the material on your clothes, which leads to holes and fading.  Purex with Zout helps to maintain the color and quality of your clothes while getting them really clean!  The triple enzymes in the Zout help to get rid of the food and other stains that are usually really hard to get out! You don't have to worry about replacing clothes because they get ruined! Purex with Zout will save money and even works with your HE washers, so you can save water too! This is a detergent you really need to try!

You can get the stain fighting power or Purex with Zout! Here is how to win!:
