My Thoughts on Disney Pixar Brave for Wii Recently I was able to take my family to see Disney's new Brave movie. I must say that it is one of the best Disney movies that I have ever seen. It was a great time for the whole family and although it is not out on video it does not mean that you can't take the fun home with you. Recently Disney released their new movie Brave out on gaming platforms and I am happy to say that I was able to review the version made for Wii. When the Wii game arrived my family was thrilled! My daughters eyes lite up and my hubby thought about coming home from work early (he didn't but he wanted to). In this fun interactive game for Wii you play the character Merida. Working hard to break the curse she herself has placed on her own Mother with the help of a witch from the woods. In this game you will battle enemies with your sword and your bow and arrow. You will also uncover secrets that will help you break the spell that is cast on the Queen. Will you … [Read more...]
Brew Over Ice K-Cups Review
I am not a coffee drinker but I know a lot of people who are so recently when given the chance to review Brew Over Ice K-Cups I said yes! Ok so the truth is that it is not just coffee that you can purchase in Keurig's new Brew Over Ice but also Tea and I am a Huge Sweet Tea fan! When the K-Cup samples arrived I headed on over to my Mother In Laws house as I knew she would be the perfect person to give the coffee a try and together we would have a great time reviewing the tea and coffee together. The Brew Over Ice K-Cups brew exactly as you would a regular K-Cup. Just insert it into your Keurig machine and your good to go. The only thing that is different is the cup that you place under the spout. For the Brew Over Ice you will want to use a Plastic cup that is 16oz. This is needed as some of the ice will melt making you have a full glass of tea or coffee! Yum! Then you just fill your glass with ice and place under the spout and press the start button! It really is that … [Read more...]

My Toiletry Bag Review and Giveaway!
My Thoughts on The Toiletry Bag As most of you know I just recently returned from an amazing Disneyland vacation with my family. We were away from home for 10 days which is much longer then most of the vacations we take. It took a lot of prep and planning and I had to pack a lot more items then I was used to packing. My lifesaver on this trip was My Toiletry Bag that I received literally two days before we left. I was thrilled when it arrived because I was wondering how I was going to get all my shampoo's and other personal care items packed in a way where they would not leak all over my clothes on the way. This has happened many times in the past where I opened up my suite case to find that something had spilled all over my clothes! The Toiletry Bag is the perfect size! It fit all my cosmetics and even my flat iron and hair brushes in the top and on the bottom there is a handy zipper and bottles where you can place your shampoo, conditioner, body wash and toothbrush.

Need Help Getting Pregnant? Try ProXeed Plus Review and Giveaway!
My Thoughts on ProXeed Plus It seems that for couples looking to get pregnant it is getting harder and harder. Doctors want a fortune and since up until now that is the only option when you having a hard time conceiving there are more and more of us paying their high prices for just a chance of getting pregnant. I know that for the last seven years I have prayed for another child and while I would love to go to doctors the budget is just not allowing me to be able to do that at this time. So I have placed it in God's hands and I know that whatever will be will be...however that does not mean that I have to give up entirely or that I can't try these new wonderful things that are coming out to help those looking to conceive. Recently I was sent ProXeed Plus for the purpose of this review. ProXeed Plus is a dietary supplement that is proven to optimize sperm health.

Green Fashion With Regards To Fresh Style For Lasting Clothes
Green Fashion With Regards To Fresh Style For Lasting Clothes Eco-friendly fashion has become the 2012 buzzword for fashion experts and those of us which were interested in decreasing the effect we have on earth. Many of us are now aiming to adopt Eco-friendly techniques and ways of life, aside from selecting renewable electricity products such as solar, minimizing our dependence on gas guzzling cars, and taking in all-natural meals, it can also be easy to shop for clothes that have been made from renewable concepts. When we finally bring to mind Eco fashion there are specific considerations that your particular clothing have to fulfill. To begin with the artisans who may have come up with merchandise must have been paid a fair price for their work. However, the motto Fair Trade has come to be merely an ingenious marketing strategy to fool everyone directly into purchasing specific items. It needs to really be right down to the producers on their own to figure about what is really … [Read more...]

How to Do a Manicure At Home
How to Do a Manicure At Home Having your nails look stellar is a luxury that a lot of us have trouble spending money on. We know that if we could just paint our nails at home we could potentially save lots of money each month. My suggestion is to take your hands in once every 6 weeks for a basic manicure. That may be a long time to not pamper those digits but getting that manicure every now then will keep your nails strong and healthy. You just need to do the maintenance between visits; here is how you can get that salon manicure at home: Step 1: Remove any nail polish from your finger nails. Be sure to use a gentle remover and get in the corners and hard to remove places. Step 2: Wash your hands with warm water and soft hand soap. Concentrate on getting under the nails and focusing on the cuticles. Step 3: Rest hands in a shallow bowl of warm soapy water for about 5 minutes each. This will help when it comes to removing the cuticles. Step 4: Dry hands off and use cuticle … [Read more...]
Yvonne Ryding Facial Tonic Review!
My Thoughts on Yvonne Ryding Facial Tonic If you are an avid reader of my blog then you probably know that I battle with acne even at age 28. It is something I have dealt with for years and have never enjoyed. Because of my skin I have never enjoyed trying out new products on my face since I am always unsure of how my skin will react. But for you all I do try them out so I can give my honest opinion about each product I try. Recently I was able to review Yvonne Ryding Facial Tonic. This is the first time I have ever reviewed anything that was just a simple spray onto the face before my moisturizer. I fell in love with how simple and easy to use it was since I don't have the time most days to go through a huge process of skin creams for my face. The Facial Tonic is made for all skin types and did not make my face oily and I did not break out! This of course is a HUGE bonus but more then that I started to notice a nice glow to my skin after a few days. The Facial Tonic is … [Read more...]

The Walking Company Abeo Sandal Review!
My Thoughts on abeo B.I.O. Sandals How does owning a pair of sandals that conform to your foot sound? To me that sounds like bliss and recently I was able to review just that! With the weather warming up here in Colorado it is time to break out my summer shoes and for me that includes Sandals. I love wearing shoes that I can slip on and off without much effort but it can be hard to find a good sandal that actually provides comfort! Thanks to The Walking Company I was able to review two pairs of abeo sandals. I was able to try out the Abeo Laguna and the Abeo Balboa Neutral! Since they arrived I must admit I have not wanted to stop wearing them! I switch back and forth between the pairs each day as they are truly the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned!

Knot Genie Review and Giveaway – Open Worldwide – 2 Winners! Ends 3/26
Knot Genie Detangling Brush My daughter hates to have her hair brushed. It is a struggle each day to get her hair done for school. Each morning is filled with screams and crys for me to stop brushing! I recently read a review of the Knot Genie and I knew that I had to try it for myself. When my Knot Genie arrived I immediately took it out of the package and told my daughter to hold still while I brushed her hair. Of course she was not happy about this but after I started to brush it she said “Wow Mom, I don't feel anything.” I was blown away as I did not expect it to work as brilliantly as it did! It is now my daughters favorite brush and she does not scream for me any longer when I brush her hair....except for the times that her hair is wet. I have found that the Knot Genie does not work as well on wet hair. That is not a huge issue with us though as her hair is normally dry when I style it! On the Box The magic trick behind the Knot Genie is one we are happy to reveal. It … [Read more...]
