Review: Glitz See Purse Light

Lisa — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:29:36 +0000

I don’t know about you but my purse becomes a huge cave in which I can never find what I am looking for. I can never seem to find that pen I know I dropped in there, the spare change that I need to get ride of because it makes the purse crazy heavy or just the keys because it is cold outside her in Michigan and I just want to get into my car and get going.

Review: The Meerkat Wars by H.S. Toshack

Lisa — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 12:28:05 +0000

The Meerkat Wars is an interesting tale of a ordinary house cat vacationing with its owners who come across some odd animals that kind of remind him of normal house cats in some way and totally not in others. The ideas of these similarities and difference starts the great conversations that will eventually prepare this simple house cat for the wild terrain in Africa and the lives that there meerkats live.

My favorite part of H.S.

Review and #Giveaway of COCOA Energy Restore (1/14)

Lisa — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 02:05:44 +0000

COCOA Energy Restore by CocoaWell is a vegetarian product that is made to help with a problem that we all seem to have these days and that is a lack of energy. It is made to help three different things and those are: enhancing energy and focus, boosting mental and physical performance and helping to fight fatigue and exhaustion. Sounds like something most people I know need.

I really wanted to be sure that I gave this product a fair shot so I took it a full month before sitting down to write a review.

Book Review of Curiosity with a Capital S

Lisa — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 00:51:12 +0000

Curiosity with a Capital S by Tonya Trimble

My Thoughts:

I found this story about ten year old, Tracy and her older brother, Stan’s, relocation to South Carolina after World War II to not only be entertaining but very educational as well. A combination that is not easily found in most new fiction writing in my recent memory. There are so many new adventures for Tracy and Stan to experience everything from a new rowboat to secret caves and beaches.

Book Review and Giveaway of On Toby’s Terms 5 winners (1/12)

Lisa — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 04:39:51 +0000

On Toby’s Terms by Charmaine Hammond was an outstanding and uplifting story about a trouble dog which had some very unique traits and the journey that brought a family and dog together. This story made me realize that there is so much more the the pets in our lives. It really does not matter if you are a human or an animal, purpose is so important. Not only having a purpose but having people who will love you know matter what and support you in finding what you need in the journey of life.

Review and #Giveaway of Eraselets

Lisa — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 02:43:42 +0000

Eraselets were invented by a dad who was frustrated with his elementary age daughter constantly losing erasers. He paired them with something all of his daughter enjoyed and that was bracelets. I was excited to check this product out because I could totally relate to the constant struggle with finding a decent eraser in our house. Both of my boys write stories and have a ton of homework and while it always seems that we are able to find pencils in the house the erasers are either completely worn out or they are broken off which always results in fights about finding an eraser and not just scratching things out on the paper and rewriting them.

Review and #Giveaway Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town!

Lisa — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 02:14:22 +0000

What a great holiday game and not one that is only for Christmas time. We had a ton of fun with this Wii game and its game play was super easy! Now you get the chance to help Kris Kringle bring toys back to the children of Snowtown, escape the Burgermeister Meisterburger and become Santa Claus. This game is great for those of all games. My boys were excited to give the game a shot and I had fun with it as well.

Review: Bronte & Frank go to Moscow by Megan Worthy

Bronte & Frank go to Moscow by Megan Worthy

My Thoughts:

I am very impressed with this book and I learned a lot from it. It is well put together and exposes the read not only to a book about Moscow but also the Russian alphabet, language and culture. I feel that it is important that our children understand that there are different cultures and expose them to the difference in ways that they can understand and books are one of the best ways.

Review and #Giveaway: I’m Not Bored Anymore Art Jar

Lisa — Thu, 22 Dec 2011 00:16:25 +0000

My boys were super excited when the Land of Nod box arrived on ourdoor step, it made a great first impression, it was very unique with personalized tape just for Land Of Nod with the alphabet is pretty cursive letters.

Crafts have always been a center of entertainment for my boy who continue to make and build things even as old as they are. The I’m Not Bored Anymore Art Jar was well recieved and they immediately pulled every last piece out of the jar to inspect what there was and start to plot what could be done with it.

Review: ExfoliatingMinerals

Lisa — Sun, 27 Nov 2011 05:32:47 +0000

ExfoliatingMineral is a daily AHA exfoliating facial cleanser is made with only natural ingredients and it’s great for all skin types, it is simply the perfect solution for all and does not leave your skin dry even though it’s great for acne. This product comes in a 4 fl. oz container that has a flip top which I found to be must more efficient that pump cleansers. The cleanser has a slightly citrus scent to it and is a milky white color.

Review: Savanella Scarf

Lisa — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 00:56:14 +0000

For a while I have been seeing scarves used to dress up outfit and suits but never really could figure out what looked good with what. A problem that I tend to have along with the fact that I had no idea what size scarf to buy, what shape it should be, what colors work. I was pleased to find that Krystal Savanella Designs not only has many different designs but the come with a black necktie along with them that just adds to the usefulness of the scarf.

Big Anniversaries deserve a memorable gift. My husband and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary this past July and I didn’t have anything to really remember it by so I was very excited when I was given the opportunity to review a piece of personalized jewelry by Simag Jewlery. What a better way to celebrate. Below is the beautiful necklace that Sima created for me. I am sorry for the reflection in the pictures it is really shiny therefore a bit difficult to photograph.

Red Cinch Review and #Giveaway (Holiday Gift Guide)

Lisa — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 02:40:09 +0000

There is nothing better than a new purse to renew a woman’s outlook. It is also something that men will never understand. I was given the opportunity to review the Red Cinch Purse from Twisted Orchard and from the very moment I opened the box, my mood was lifted. I have never before owned a red purse, I know this sound odd but I have always been a black or brown purse lady. They went with everything and I didn’t have to worry about it.

Bracelet Mate Review and #Giveaway (Holiday Gift Guide)

Now that my kids have outgrown the diaper bag phase there are time when I just don’t to have to carry a purse or bag or anything. This is where the bracletmate comes in really handy. You wear it just like a bracelet and to the common passerby it just looks like you are wearing a few strands of bracelets when really this little wallet is sitting on the inside of your wrist where no one can see it.

#Giveaway: Box-4-Blox (Holiday Gift Guide)

Lisa — Wed, 09 Nov 2011 00:38:16 +0000

Box-4-Blox was created by a couple from New Zealand, sick of either trying to find that elusive piece or finding them all over the floor in the middle of the night. This box has 4 trays and each of the upper 3 trays has different sized holes that that the bricks will fall through with the smallest bricks on the bottom and the largest on the top. Something so simple yet something that was not on the market.

Review: Grapefruit and Tea Tree Foaming Face Wash

Lisa — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 22:10:37 +0000

Botanical Babe was created by Andi after stuggling to find store bought products that lived up to what they promised, even those “natural” brands that have super high prices. She began studying aromatherapy, as well, and have taking a few courses in the amazing uses of essential oils. Botanical Babe products are made in very small batches to ensure high quality and are packed full of high quality ingredients.
I have struggled with acne for as long as I can remember so I thought that I would give this product a try.
