Cradle Rock Kid's Cd review & giveaway!!

 When it comes to bedtime music, I love to find songs that are semi familiar!!   Cradle Rock has 3 great cds that will make you and your child happy!  They are beautiful lullaby renditions of hits from Johnny Cash, Kenny Chesney and Michael Jackson!! These songs are soft melodies that you will love rocking your baby to at night!

My favorite songs were The Good Stuff from Kenny Chesney, Walk the Line by Johnny Cash and Beat It by Michael Jackson! The instruments used and the tempo make unique variations of some of the most classic songs we know today!! I was really excited to listen to the cds!  I love to put music on at bedtime to get the kids to sleep!

** Maroon 5 Announce Comprehensive Pre-order Offering for Upcoming HANDS ALL OVER Album **

New York, NY – Maroon 5 today announced the Pre-order for their upcoming third studio album, Hands All Over. The album, due in stores everywhere September 21st, is now available for pre-order in a series of formats and configurations, offering the band’s fans maximum choice and flexibility.
Listeners can now pre-order the album in a variety of digital and physical versions. The iTunes pre-order offering (available at http://bit.ly/M5 HandsAllOver iTunes) includes:

• Standard digital album (featuring two bonus tracks)

• Deluxe digital album (featuring seven bonus tracks)

Meanwhile, the pre-order store page on the band’s website (http://maroon5.com/handsallover/) includes:

• Standard 12-track CD

• Deluxe CD including Fan Club membership

• Website-exclusive Vinyl version

• Limited Edition 3D Box Set

Maroon 5 have released two multi-platinum studio albums (2002’s Songs About Jane and 2007’s It Won’t Be Soon Before Long), scored a string of hit singles (“This Love,” “She Will Be Loved,” “Harder to Breathe,” “Sunday Morning,” “Makes Me Wonder”), won three Grammy Awards, and sold 15 million albums around the world. Now the Los Angeles quintet is back with Hands All Over — produced by veteran studio wizard Robert John “Mutt” Lange (AC/DC, Foreigner, The Cars), the album is a killer hybrid of rock, pop, funk, and R&B, that showcases the band’s considerable strengths: buoyant, unforgettable melodies, sleek, stylish grooves, charged lyrics about turbulent relationships, and crisp, dynamic performances.

In advance of the album, Maroon 5 have released two singles – “Misery” (accompanied by the powerful video directed by Joseph Kahn), and the just-released “Give a Little More.” The band recently recorded an exclusive live performance for the VEVO Summer Sets series, with three clips released so far including “Give a Little More.” Maroon 5 has spent most of the summer on tour in the US; their current US tour activities will go through September 1st, and then resume on October 6th and extend through the end of the month.

chicBuds Earphones Review and Giveaway!!!

I love music sooo much! Any type, any time! Music is like poetry for me, and many times they are things I can totally relate to.  I also love sparkles and was super excited to come across chicBuds!! They offer super cute head phones with all sorts of designs and plenty of bling!!  The genius women behind these super sweet headphones are wonderful for making us such a great product for our listening pleasure!!

About chicBuds:

ChicBlvd Inc, a women-owned multi-media company located in Vista, CA which began in 2004, includes three divisions--an online magazine (ChicBlvd.com), product development division (chicBuds.com) and a Public Relations firm (ChicExecs.com) servicing our 40 clients. Background experience within the organization includes 11 years Advertising/Marketing/PR as well as 8 years of Business Management and Retail.

The division of chicBuds was launched in 2006 with the product chicBuds retractable earphones with Swarovski Crystals—a sweet treat for your ears! The original line includes 5 standard “flavors” of Swarovski ear candy including Watermelon (Pink), Grape (Purple), Sour Apple (Green), Blueberry (Blue) and Marshmallow (Clear). And eventually expanded into various casing colors, an iPod-Inspired Designer Series and Limited Edition designs (including Breast Cancer, AIDS, ChicBlvd Fitness in partnership with American Heart Association).

Not only are these earbuds trendy and fashionable, adorned with about 85 crystal pieces, they are also functional with the built-in retractable device. The device allows the user to adjust the cord to 5 different lengths to accommodate any activity. The retractor also recoils the cords so that there is no mess or tangle when the earbuds are not in use. This innovative feature adorned with Swarovski crystals is the only one of its kind as ChicBlvd Inc. holds the design patent on this product.

chicBuds earphones are compatible with the iPod, iPhone, MP3 player, CD player, airplane connectors… basically any listening device.

I got to try out these super yummy chicBuds Earphones in Watermelon!! (retail value $39.00)

Description 

Treat your ears to somethin' sweet!

Adorned with Swarovski Crystals, chicBuds transforms functional earbuds into a deliciously stylish experience. But don't be fooled! chicBuds are not only yummy looking--they're convenient too. The built-in retractor allows the cord to expand and retract to 5 stopping points for various lengths. The clip stops cords from bouncing around and the retractable device prevents tangling when not in use.

chicBuds Earphones: A sweet treat for your ears!

Available in five delicious flavors… ah, colors:

• Blueberry
• Grape
• Watermelon
• Sour Apple
• Marshmallow

I absolutely loved that they had a nice retractable cord with 5 settings.  The biggest problem I usually have with earbuds is that the  cords are easily tangled up.  These are always nice and neat and fit easily in a purse or pocket.  And of course pink is my all time favorite color so I was thrilled to rock these hot headphones!! The sound quality was great, not scratchy like some headphones.  They are always in my purse everyday! I don't leave without them!!

Rock Rhythm and Rhyme Review

 

Check out the great Rock Rhythm and Rhyme Contest Happening over at I like it Frantic

Their music is all performed by family and it really does rock. The songs on their first CD are focused on colors. The tunes are upbeat, catchy and do the most fabulous thing. The songs teach children how to spell the color word while associating the color with items from a preschooler’s life. The orange song starts by talking about snacking on goldfish. Charlie has really enjoyed rocking out to the color songs.
