My Thoughts on Epic Mickey 2 The Power of Two I have said this before and I will say it again....Epic Mickey is the most fun game EVER! I was SO excited when I heard that Epic Mickey was going to make a 2nd game! The first time I turned on Epic Mickey I was surprised at the difficulty and graphics of this game.

Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops Review!
Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops Review! My thoughts on Pine Bros. softish throat drops – Ok now first off, when I read the label, the descriptive word “softish” just made me giggle. A “softish” throat drop?! I actually was too excited to try these to wait for a sore throat. I opened them up and I took a picture of them next to a dime so you could see their relative size. But I put one in my mouth and oh my goodness, they ARE a “softish” throat drop! Right away I could tell these are going to be in my cabinet permanently just in case anyone in the family needs them. It’s good to have them on hand just in case in the middle of the night someone ends up having a sore throat. My daughter gets a dry throat frequently and wakes up with just a little irritation because she sleeps with her mouth open and I know I need to whip out the humidifier, especially since winter is upon us, but she popped one of the Pine Bros. Softish Throat Drops and it helped to sooth her little throat. Her … [Read more...]

Smile Brilliant! Review!
Smile Brilliant! Review! My thoughts on Smile Brilliant! Teeth whitening system – If you are looking for a very affordable way to whiten your teeth, this product is it! There is nothing better than having a pearly white smile! I am blessed to have white teeth and I was so very excited to use this extremely easy teeth whitening on my husband! He was a trooper for sure and he also was surprised at how easy it was to do a session! It doesn’t take long to get the system set up at all. There is the LED accelerator light, a flexible (and very comfortable might I add) teeth tray, and the gel pen. In just a few easy steps you are on your way to a brighter smile in the comfort of your own home and on your own time as well! We first put the gel on his teeth with the brush gel pen, and then added the tray for him to bite down on, he then put the LED accelerator light over the tray and then all he had to do was just sit down, play his video games and wait. One of the rare times I actually … [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...]
