One Stop Shop! CSN Review

 
 
I can't say it enough. I love CSN Stores!  No matter what you might be looking for, they are bound to have it. For example, I have been looking for just the right bed for our Golden Retriever, Amber, for months.  I refuse to spend more money on the dog's bed than I did on my children's bedding, but it seemed like an impossible task to find one less than $100 that was big enough for her.  Until I checked on CSN!
 
 On CSN I found the Precision Pet Snoozzy Pet Bed which was just what I was looking for. Its soft and cozy and my dog absolutely loves it. Plus its thin enough that I can easily fold it up and put in under my bed. But the most amazing thing of all--it was only $24.95 for the X-large size. That included FREE SHIPPING!  Smaller sizes cost even less and shipping is still free. This is an unbelievable deal!



But wait! There's more! What do you get the insane sports fan who has everything? My dad's birthday just passed and as always, I was having a hard time finding him something that he would like. He loves the Yankees but he has almost every collectible under the sun. But on CSN, I found something even he has never seen before. A Yankees Toaster! Now every morning he wakes up to his favorite symbol on his breakfast plate and he couldn't he happier.  If you have a sports fan in your life, just type the name of the team in the CSN search engine and dozens of unique gift ideas will appear.
 
These are only a few examples of the amazing items you can get at CSN.  They have over 200 online stores in their family. Whether you're in the market for housewares, cookware, baby items, toys, or home decor, CSN always finds the best products and gets them to you at the best prices around. Many items even include free shipping!  If you're thinking about making a purchase online, be sure to check with them first!

The Juppy Review & Giveaway


When my older kids were babies, we had a traditional walker. I remember them trying to get around in them. They bumped into everything and made nicks in the wall. I was always worried that they were going to tip them over. And of course I would look like the Hunchback of Notre Dame after bending over all day to try to help them walk. But now I have the Juppy, and as their slogan proclaims, it really is the first baby walker that really makes sense.  It may not look like much, but its a revolutionary idea that all parents are going to know and love.  Check out this video below to see how it works:















The Juppy is really easy to use. You just slide the baby in and zip up the back. Lay their feet on the floor and hold onto the straps. They will get the idea right away and start trying to walk. You can even lift them up a little and gently swing them. Willow laughed and laughed while she was in hers and we had fun for hours without me breaking my back. Its so simple, even my 10 year old was able to do it (with supervision of course). Even though she just turned six months old, with the Juppy Willow is already getting a head start on walking.

If you want to learn more about the Juppy, you can visit their website. If you would like to purchase one of these cool new inventions for yourself, they are currently available at Amazon for the low price of $24.95.  They are a much better value than a traditional walker. Not to mention easier to store and most importantly, safer for your baby!


Wouldn't you love to have a Juppy for your little one? One lucky winner will receive a Juppy in the color of their choice. To enter, visit the Baby Walker website and tell me something you learned. For additional entries, you can follow them on twitter, become their fan on face book, or their friend on MySpace. This giveaway is open to the US only and will end on 8/20/10.

They have soaps, lotions, shampoo bars and more.

They have some really unique scents that will revitalize your mind and refresh your skin like wood spice and Tuscan lavender. I got to try out their Mandarin Vanilla Oil Diffuser which I really love. It put it in my bedroom and its so refreshing to come in and smell the scent mixture. They also offer shea butter, liquid soaps, and bath salts to name just a few things.

Most of you are probably familiar with 3M.  They make dozens of common household products like duct tap, scotch brite, scotch tape, post it notes and more. But are you familiar with their amazing line of Command Products? If you need a little organization in your life, these are the perfect products for you!

I received a few various hooks to try out. My favorite is the key holder. It has five notches so everyone can hang their keys, but its versatile enough to have lots of other uses. Hang up your jewelry  or your tools. Another great idea is their cord organizer. Don't you hate having all those messy wires all over the place? With this nifty product, you won't have to worry about these trip and fall hazards anymore.  Then there are their damage free hanging hooks. Hang a picture, a wreath, your child's art project, school bags, and more. They are sturdy enough to hold almost anything. And the really cool thing is that if you want to move them, they come off easily with no damage to your wall.

If you would like to learn more about Command Products, check out their website. While you're there, you can print out some free coupons.  Sign up for their newsletter (bottom left) to keep up to date on future news, sweepstakes and freebies.

Beer Nuts Review & Giveaway




I love nuts. They are the perfect anytime snack. They aren't as fattening as junk food in between meals. They are a healthier alternative to things like potato chips.

If you are a nut lover like my family, than you will definitely love the great selection of quality nuts available at Beer Nuts.




For our review, I was sent the Assorted Pony Keg, which is one of their best sellers.  It comes with almonds, peanuts, and cashews--three of my favorites The little bags are perfect for when you are on the go. They are great to pack in lunches for both parents and kids. They are the perfect snack to take to the beach. The nuts themselves are roasted to perfection with just the right amount of salt. Really some of the best nuts I've tried to date.





If you know anyone who is crazy about nuts, beer nuts have several gift packs, some of which are as low as $20. They are the perfect gift to send long distance or even a nice surprise for someone to come home to. I know my hubby was thrilled to sit down with his nuts and beer after working 16 hours in a hot kitchen.  They are also a great idea is you plan on having a barbecue or other get together at your home.

Green Virgin Products Review & Giveaway & FREE SAMPLES!



Green Virgin is a company that makes only the best green and natural products. I was so excited to be able to try out several of the things they offer. First, they make a very unique kind of deodorant that is made from 100% mineral salts. My oldest daughter just started to need deodorant this year, which was kind of a surprise to me since she is only ten. But trust me...she needed it. I didn't want to use something with a lot of chemicals since she is so young. The Green Virgin deodorant is perfect for her. It doesn't burn her skin like other brands did, its completely safe, and best of all, with normal use one stick can last up to a  year. But in case you're wondering, it does work wonderfully for grownups too:)





The next thing we tried out were their stainless steel bottles. I wasn't sure that my baby was going to like them because they are kind of oddly shaped. But it turned out they they were much easier for her to grip than other bottles. Because they are made from stainless steel, they will hold up much longer than plastic bottles. They are dishwasher safe and have a life time guarantee. Which is great because when your baby outgrows bottles it can convert to a sippy cup and then just a regular water bottle.  If you use the insulted wrap with them, it will keep things warmer or cooler for even longer. 



Last, but certainly not least, I got to try out the Soap Nuts. I had heard about these before, but even though I love green products, I couldn't imagine that a nut could get my clothes clean. Boy, was I wrong! These things are amazing! Just put four or five of them in a hemp bag, toss them in the wash and you have clean and soft clothes. You won't even need to use fabric softener.  For some tougher stains, like baby food, I found I still needed to use a stain stick. But I have to do this with regular detergent too. You can reuse the nuts several times before all the soap is out of them. One bag will for last for more than 80 loads. And since these are 100% all natural nuts that are grown on trees, of course there is no ill effects for the environment.



The folks at Green Virgin Products are so awesome! They want all my readers to get the chance to try out their amazing soaps nuts! If you would like a free sample to try out, just go to their website and sign up for their newsletter (bottom of the page). Then send them an email saying that signed up and that New Age Mama sent you over for a free sample.  Make sure to include your mailing address. If you have already received a sample from another blog, please don't ask again. Lets make sure everyone who is interested get a chance to try it.



As if that is not generous enough, one lucky reader is going to receive a full size bag of soap nuts! To enter, please visit Green Virgin and tell me something you learned.

Summer Birthday Bash! The Jenson Project DVD Review & Giveaway (2 Winners)



I don't always enjoy watching movies with my kids. Some are annoying and some border on ridiculous.  But a good fantasy or science fiction film is right up my alley. And when that film has lots of actors I know and love from my own childhood, its even better. The Jensen Project is one of those movies.

My kids and I just got this movie in the mail yesterday and of course we had to watch it that night. The story is about a sixteen year old boy whose parents are scientists who worked in a secret community of geniuses. His mother had started to develop a new nanotechnology which her mentor winds up stealing. The whole family is thrown into the dangerous game of trying to retrieve the technology before it falls in the wrong hands.  The movie is filled with lots of exciting twists and turns as well as a little romance that will keep the whole family on the edge of their seats. And what makes it even more fun for parents are the appearances of  stars like Kellie Martin (from ER and Life Goes On), Patricia Richardson (from Home Improvement) and LeVar Burton (from Star Trek the Next Generation).

If you are interested in purchasing this great flick for your family, it is available exclusively at Walmart. In the online store, it is being sold for the low price of $15. That's a lot cheaper than a night at the theater. 

And guess what else? I have two copies of this awesome movie to give away to two lucky winners. To enter, tell me one of your favorite science fiction films. For additional entries you can do any of the following but  you must complete this initial entry first. Any entries that do not follow these guidelines will be deleted.

Natural Vines Licorice Review

 
 
 
 
 
All kids want to eat candy. But too much sugar isn't good for them and who knows what kind of ingredients are going into most of the candy out there.  As a mom, I hate to deny my kids the things that make them happy, but I want to make healthy choices. That's why I was happy to discover Natural Vines from American Licorice. Its a tasty sweet treat the whole family loves that is made with all natural ingredients. 
 
Natural Vines comes in two enticing flavors: original black and strawberry. I was lucky enough to get to try out both and they were a big hit. Both  flavors come in resealable bags so they will stay fresh for days.   One of the best things about them is that they don't leave behind an after taste like some licorice. Plus Natural Vines licorice is all-natural and has no artificial colors, artificial flavors, preservatives, trans fat or high-fructose corn syrup. They are a unique snack option that I can feel good about giving to my family because they are made with only the best ingredients and still have a great taste.

American Licorice is one of the oldest confectionery manufactures in the world.  When you choose them, you know you are getting the kind of quality that only comes with experience. If you are interested in purchasing Natural Vines, they are available at Whole Food Stores. To learn more about this American Licorice and all the fun products they offer, check out their website.

Therafirm Light Review



Not all stockings are created equal. Some rip the first time you wear them, some are always itchy and uncomfortable. And some are not only long lasting and comfortable but also provide the extra support you need to prevent swelling and help increase circulation. If you think that stockings like these would be perfect for you, then check out Therafirm. They offer a selection of pantyhose for all shapes and sizes that are so cozy, you won't even remember you have them on.


I got to try out a few pairs of Therafirm Light Pantyhose in black and I was thrilled with them. I always hated wearing stockings and avoided it whenever possible. But the Therafirm are different in so many ways. They have a MicroCool Process that helps moisture to evaporate so they don't stick to your skin and give you a cool, refreshing feel. They offer extra support so that your ankles won't swell even if  you spend a lot of time of your feet, and the firm waistline helps to keep your belly looking firm and taunt.  Plus, they are sturdy and don't run easily. They are really the perfect pair of stockings for any age.

In addition to the pantyhose, Therafirm also makes trouser socks for men and women, knee highs and even maternity pantyhose. All offer the same high quality and comfort. To learn more about Therafirm or to locate a dealer near you, you can visit their website. Once you try these stockings, you won't ever want to wear anything else again.

Tribest Glastor Glass Storage Container



In these hard economic times, we can't afford to waste food. In my house, we don't throw away left overs and I make sure to store my fruits and vegetables in only the best airtight containers.  There are lots of choices out there, but if you want the best that money can buy, then check out the Glastor Glass Storage Containers from Tribest.

I was sent a set of of four square  storage containers and I am in love with them. They are no much sturdier than plastic containers, and the snap on lips are much easier to get on and off. Using glass has many other benefits as well. For example, unlike plastic containers, the Glastor containers are oven safe, microwave safe, freezer safe, and dishwasher safe. The airtight lips really lock in the freshness so your food will stay fresh longer, which will save you hundreds of dollars a year.

The Glastor Square Gift Set (Model Number: GLS04SN) is available for the suggested retail price of $39.95 at Tribest Life. It includes one 17 oz, 34 oz, 64 oz, and 112 oz containers, all which come with a BPA free lid. The containers fit inside of each other for easy storage and also come in many other handy shapes and sizes.

My neighbor's yard looks like the Botanical Gardens threw up. She grows everything under the sun, so much as she barely even has to mow because there is no open space. She also has BEES in TOWN! So, at any given time I am next to 100,000 bees which she is constantly messing with..oh and by the way, did I mention she was older and does yard work in her bathing suit?

Summer Birthday Bash! Monster Magnetic Figures from Mudpuppy Review & Giveaway




I love toys and games that encourage my kids' creativity and imagination. I also love things that will help them to learn, even if they don't realize it. At Mud Puppy, you can find tons of puzzles, journals, banks and more that will encourage your kids to make the most of their summer. They have unique designs that are suitable for all different age groups and they have plenty of things that will be fun for both girls and boys.







For our review, my son picked out the Monster Magnetic Figures. He is having so much fun with this. He has a thing for monsters so it was the perfect thing for him. You are able to mix and match pieces to make all kinds of monsters. There are lots of different pieces so he was able to play for hours. The pieces are nice and big so they won't be easy to lose and it comes in a really nice tin case. I was excited to find one like this because my daughter has several magnet sets but I've never seen one for a boy before.




The Monster Magnetic Figures are only one example of hundreds of other fun toys available at Mudpuppy that your children are sure to love. They have adorable stickers, books, and more. And if you check out Galison, their sister company, you will find lots of fun things for grownups too. They even have a holiday collection.

Snuggbugg Review and Giveaway





Willow in six months old today! She is growing up so fast. She is just starting to hold her own bottle, but sometimes its still difficult for her pudgy little hands to get a good grip on the bottle.  Luckily, I came across a unique little product called the SnuggBugg available exclusively online at Snugg Stuff. The soft, woolly fabric is appealing to babies and it really helps them get a better grip on the bottle. They come in several fun designs for both boys and girls.









Willow really liked her pink Snuggbugg. She grabbed for her bottle right away when she saw it on there. Of course she tried to eat it first, but than she seemed to get the idea. And for the first time, she was able to get the bottle into her mouth on her own. This is a great product that isn't only functional but also makes the bottle look so much cuter. They can even be personalized with your baby's name.





In addition to the Snuggbuggs, Snug Stuff also has Snugg Muggs, which are reusable coffee sleeves. They are lots of fun and great for the environment. And they also have SnuggRugs which are adorable breathable baby blankets.  All their items were designed by two lovely Australian friends who live and work in San Francisco.










One lucky winner is going to receive a SnuggBugg of their very own in either pink or blue. To enter, visit Snugg Stuff  and tell me your favorite item. For additional entries you can become their fan on face book and/or follow them on twitter. This giveaway is open to the US only and will end on 8/17/10.
