Sparkle Hearts Review & Easter Giveaway

 My daughter is officially a tween and when it comes to Easter, I  had no idea what I could get for her Easter Basket that would not too babyish but that she would still enjoy. I found exactly what I was looking for at Sparkle Hearts. They make wonderful hair and body care products that are perfect for tween girls. They smell great, come in adorable bottles, and most importantly they are BPA free and made with only organic ingredients.

For our review, we received the gift set from Sparkles Hearts, which is just the right size for an Easter Basket. It comes with four wonderful products. My daughter loved the shampoo and conditioner. It left her hair soft and easy to manage with no tangles. The body wash smells wonderful and lathers nicely. It really gives her that grown up feeling to have her own bottle. But her favorite of all was the sparkle lotion. Not only does it leave skin soft and touchable, but it the sparkles really make her skin glow, and again gives her that feeling of coming into her own.  All of their products have a light berry scent that kids will love and is not overpowering.

The products at Sparkle Hearts are perfect for girls of all ages. Not only are they organic, but they are not tested on animals and the bottles are made from recycled materials. There are no parabens, no artificial colors, and no carmine aka "bug guts". All of their products are made in the USA so you know you are getting the best organic ingredients possible.  Visit the Sparkle Hearts website to find a location near you that sells these amazing products or order online now.  Shipping is free if you order three products or more, so stock up today.

Puplight Review

 Every night I let my dog out. Every night she runs to the back of the house which is like a giant abyssal black hole. She's a large dog but I can't see her at all. When I finally hear something crunching through the leaves, I can only hope that its her and not a skunk or rabid possum or even a serial killer. This has been a nightly routine since I got my dog. But now, thanks to Puplight, I will always be able to see my dog coming.

Puplight is a unique collar that has a detachable light attached to it. The light has a sensor so it only goes off in the dark. You can also turn it off altogether if its not necessary. Its a great way to help you keep track of your pets, especially older dogs who may not be able to see well or hear you calling or puppies that are still learning to respond to commands. The collar itself is made with comfortable elastic  material that stretches to help avoid any choking hazards if your dog gets caught on something.  My dog seemed very happy to have the way lit for her at night, and I was happy to know exactly where she was.  Its also nice for the owners if you want to take a stroll with your dog in the night time hours.

Here are just a few of the other benefits of Puplight:

·         Makes you and your dog visible to traffic at night

·         Walkers with unfriendly dogs see you coming and move away avoiding unwanted confrontation

·         Frightens away wild animals – skunks, possums and coyotes

·         Helps many dogs with failing vision to see better

·         Lights your path so you can see a potential hazard to you or your dog

If If you would like to learn more about this amazing product, you can visit their website. While you're there you can look for a location near you that sells the Puplight. If you are a dog owner, this is one product you will definitely want to check out for yourself.

Untold News Giveaway

The mission of Untold News is to educate Americans about the Middle East and the non-political aspects of Israel through dissemination of the unknown stories about Israel’s many humanitarian acts, inventions and start-ups.

For example, it is not generally known that Israel has instantly sent Crisis Teams to a number of nations in trouble, or that Israel has more inventions and start-ups per-capita than all of Europe combined. Helping to present “the other half of the story” could greatly enhance perceptions of Israel in the US.
Untold News’ target audience is neither the committed nor those who are decidedly anti-Israel. It is college graduates who are in the middle group — those who know little about Israel and are not actively seeking information.

Working with experts, Untold News is developing creative strategies and distribution methods to proactively present the case in both traditional and new media.

Love & Other Drugs DVD Review

 I have always been a fan of Anne Hathaway. My daughter and I have watched "The Princess Diaries" and "Ella Enchanted" more times than I can count. But while her performance is as stellar as always in "Love &Other Drugs", this is definitely not a movie for the kids. Unless you want to ruin their image of Princess Mia forever. Because it this film, Anne bares it all, and I mean IT ALL...

In Love & Other Drugs, Jaimie Randall  (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a drug pusher, but not the kind that works on the street corner. He is peddling the legal kind of drugs from Zantex to Viagra. In his efforts to land a deal with a local doctor, he meets Maggie Murdock (Anne Hathaway), a beautiful young woman who is in the first stages of Parkinson's disease.  They form a bond fairly quickly. At first it starts out as just a physical thing.  Jaimie has always been a playboy and Maggie doesn't want to burden anyone with her disease. But as time goes by, the playboy learns he has a heart after all, and that he is falling in love with the free spirited Maggie. The only problem is, she doesn't want to be a burden. The toy of them most come to terms with their fears if there relationship is ever going to go to the next level.

Love & Other Drugs is an endearing love story that shows that love really can conquer all, we just have to be brave enough to let it. Both Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal give realistic and heart warming performances. The seriousness of their situation is lightened by many humorous scenes and the sex scenes are spicy without being vulgar. If you are looking for a romantic comedy that will make you laugh, cry and ready to snuggle with your sweetheart, this is the perfect movie to watch.

Love & Other Drugs will be available at DVD and Blu Ray Retailers nationwide starting 3/1/11.

Cheese Cake.com Review

 

 

 

From the time I was in high school I always imagined myself being one of the "Golden Girls" one day. I have two old friends and the three of us would be just like them. I would be Rose, talking about the old days back in Wildwood and still having my head in the clouds, just like always. And one of the best parts of being a golden girl would be those late night talks with the girls while we enjoyed a slice of delicious cheesecake. And the place where I will be getting all my cheesecakes from this point on, is Cheesecake.com.

 

 

 

I was lucky enough to receive one of the gourmet samplers from Cheesecake.com to review, and let me tell you, it was like receiving a little piece of heaven. This particular cake comes with a few of the most popular flavors including original, mocha chocolate, turtle, and very strawberry. Each bite was a scrumptious masterpiece. Each morsel just melts in your mouth and leaves you wanting more.  These cheesecakes are a decadent treat that would definitely pass the "Golden Girl" test, and its only one of so many amazing flavors you can find at Cheesecake.com.  They also have cherry cheesecakes, cookies and cream, NY Blueberry, Black Forest, and Pineapple to name only a few. Whatever flavor you can imagine, whatever toppings best suite your tastes, you are sure to find it at Cheesecake.com.

 

 

 

But wait, there is more than just cheesecakes and Cheesecake.com. If you are looking for just the right gift for friends or family, they have it all and can deliver it right to your door. Looking for the perfect Pecan Pie? They have them. Need to send some flowers for Mother's Day? They have an amazing selection of lovely bouquets. Want some chocolate covered strawberries for your Easter baskets. Yep, they have that too. Cheesecake.com literally has it all!

Synonyms Board Game Review & Giveaway

In our house its family game night every night. As long as homework and chores are done, I always try to find at least an hour to spend playing board games with the kids.  When we play so often its nice to have a variety of games to choose from. When those games are educational as well as fun, that is a bonus that is definitely worth looking into. One of the games I recently came across is called Synonyms, and its the perfect way to teach your children challenging word play while enjoying a fun and fast paced game.

Synonyms is a challenging word game that requires thought and interactive play.  Players race their pawns around the board and the first to collect all the letters of the word "SYNONYM" will be the winner. Each time a player rolls the dice, they will have to choose a card. Once you have selected your card, the timer is set and you will have to think of the designated number of synonyms to the word you choose.  If you succeed, you've earned a letter.  But there is a twist. A competitor can declare a challenge. If they can name more synonyms that you, they can steal your card.


Synonyms comes with more than 400 word cards, making for hours of game play. My kids loved it and I was amazed at the number of words they were able to come up with. While designed for children ages ten and older, my eight year old was able to play with no problems. Its a great way to keep them on their toes. It will especially come in handy in the summer to keep their minds fresh and active. If you have kids or tweens, this is a great game to add to your collection.

One lucky winner is going to receive their own copy of Synonyms. To enter, just visit their website and tell me something you learned.

Green Toad Painting Supplies

I am always looking for new ways to run a green household, but there are some areas where I didn't really think it was possible. You can't be green with paintbrushes, right?  Well, actually you can and its all thanks to Green Toad. They have developed an amazing line of green products that are the perfect way to help spruce up your home.

 I was sent a selection of Green Toad products to try out and I was really impressed with the quality and durability. The brushes and rollers and so soft, I almost hated to use them.  But that is only the beginning of the advantages. They have made their brushes with a unique removable head so you can use the same handle with various size brushes. This creates less waste.  In addition, the paintbrushes are also constructed of completely "green" materials - making it environmentally friendly. All plastic parts, including the handle, brush heads, bristles and most internal parts, have been treated with Earthgreen™ polymers, which makes them biodegradable, compostable, and recyclable.

But wait, there's still more to love about Green Toad brushes, and it isn't just the amazing finish on your walls when the job is done. Green Toad's new pivoting paint brush, designed in consultation with physical therapists, makes it easy for soon-to-be moms and busy moms alike to paint their child's room comfortably. Its ergonomic design, comfort grip handle, and 360-degree pivoting brush head makes painting a breeze - taking the stress off muscles, joints, hands, wrists and shoulders. Simply snap on the different brush heads without exhausting yourself by trucking back to the kitchen to wash and wring out bristles! 

If you want to learn more about these amazing products and all they have to offer, you can visit their website. You can also follow them on twitter or become their fan on face book. Check them out today and keep your home improvements clean and green.

Discovery Bay Games Spooky Tales Review & Giveaway

My kids take after their mom when it comes to imagination. They are already writing stories and I can see them moving on to novels by the time they are in high school, just like I did. I love to encourage this type of creative activity. We also love our family game night.  And now, thanks to Discovery Bay Games and their exciting Spooky Tales Board Game, we can combine two of our favorite activities into one.

Spooky Tales is a unique game that not only teaches kids to use their imagination but also encourages them to practice their reading.  It comes with several stacks of playing cards. The cards will provide you with the beginning and ending to your scary story. Then you have tons other cards with words, actions, adjectives and more. Some of them involve things like "mutant zombies" and some could be something simple like "little sister". The trick is to take those words and use them to continue the story with no break in the storyline. The game also comes with tokens that you can use to "steal" someones turn if they can't think of a good line or get stuck. Whoever uses up all their cards first, including their ending card will win the round.

My two older children have been playing this game almost every night since it arrived, even when I can't play with them. I have been amazed at the creative, spooky, and sometimes hilarious scenarios they have come up with. While they have gotten stuck on a few of the words, once I read it to them once they remember it. So in addition to providing a good time, this game is also enhancing their vocabulary.  The game also comes with a cool flashlight that not only lights up but provides sound effects like screams and howls, which the kids and even the baby love playing with even when they aren't playing the game.

Spooky Tales is only one of dozens of amazing games you can find at Discovery Bay Games. They have challenging, funny, and original games for all ages, including adults. You can find their games online on Amazon and Drugstore.com  as well at Toys R Us and Game Daze. If you are looking for some unique games to spice up your family game night, Discovery Bay Games is a great place to start looking.

One lucky winner is going to receive a copy of Spooky Tales for their own little monsters.  To enter, you must visit Discovery Bay Games and tell me another game you would love to own. 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.

Nature Baby Review & Giveaway

I am always looking for safe toys, clothes, bedding and accessories for my baby. Because she puts everything in her mouth, I will only buy things that I know are chemical free and made with organic ingredients. Its important to know exactly what your baby's things are made from, and that there is no lead paint or other things that can  make children sick. At Nature Baby, I found green products that are cute, fun and safe for babies and children. They have brought together all the best manufacturers of toys, clothing, and baby gear out there to bring you one of the best selections on the internet, and they ship worldwide.

For our review, we received the adorable lambskin slippers in chocolate for Willow, and let me know you, I am jealous of them. They are just about the softest, most comfortable slippers I have even seen. Both the inside and the outside are made from durable lambskin. They are extra snugly and will stay on your baby's feet no matter how much they squirm. This adorable slippers are made by hand in New Zealand and would make an excellent gift for any child or the perfect addition to a layette.

No- Bake Key Lime Cheesecake Bars Review & Giveaway

I an not a baker. I can't cook at all, which is the reason why I'm married to a chef.  When it comes to cooking and baking, I pretty much always either burn it or under cook it, and I think a few times I somehow managed to do both at the same time. But Plentiful Pantry has developed a No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake Bars that is so easy, even someone who is a disaster in the kitchen like I am can't help but get it right.

The No-Bake Key Lime Cheesecake Bars are simple to make. It comes with most of the ingredients you'll need. You just have to add water, cream cheese and butter. There is no cooking involved. You'll never have to turn on the oven. You just mix up all the ingredients and it creates a fluffy key lime cheese cake mix that will amaze anyone who tries it. Add to that the delicious oreo cookie crumb crust and you have a dessert to die for. You can serve it up to your guests and they will think you spent hours slaving away. No one needs to know just how easy it is.

The amazing Key Lime Cheesecake Bars are only one example of the easy to make products you can find at the Plentiful Pantry. They have dozens of tasty desserts as well as soups, salads and more. All of their products take a limited amount of preparation but still give you that gourmet taste you crave.  Gift certificates are available and if you spend $70 or more you can get free shipping on your order.

Easter Gift Idea - 3D Coloring Dinosaur Art Books Review & Giveaway

My son loves dinosaurs. They are one of his favorite things. He also loves 3D movies. But one of the things he was starting to think he was too cool for was coloring books. Until he saw the ultra cool 3D coloring book from IColor3D. Suddenly, coloring is cool again because he can view his artwork in life like 3D, adding a whole new dimension to an old favorite.

We received one of the dinosaur coloring books to review and it was even more impressive in person than it was online. Each book comes with its own set of 3D glasses. Kids can color the pictures anyway they choose and really let their imagination take flight. Once they are done coloring, the 3D glasses really make the pictures pop out at you.  My son thought it was amazing and he will never say that coloring is just for babies again.

The 3D coloring books come in four fun designs and are available at IColor3D for the low price of $5.99. They are perfect for kids of all ages, but are a great idea for children with ADD, ADHD, and Autism. The vivid 3D images will help these children focus and complete the task at hand. These fun books would also make an excellent addition to any Easter basket this upcoming Spring.

One lucky winner is going to receive a 3D coloring book of their own. To enter, visit IColor3D and tell me something you learned or another book you would love to have.

Bridgewater Candles Review & Giveaway

If you're anything like me, you always have to have a candle burning in the house. A scented candle really helps to lighten the mood.  A pleasant scent brightens up the house and the warm flame is relaxing. I always love trying new candle scents. So when Bridgewater Candles asked me to review their candles I was excited to give them a try. They have lots of traditional scents, but also some unique combinations that I had never heard of, like Blue Door and Paradise Punch.

 I was sent the Shoreline and the Paradise Punch candles to try out which are perfect to get you in the mood for the summer. They were both amazing! The scents were powerful without being overbearing. They filled the whole house with their fragrance and even the next day the scent was lingering. The glass lovely containers they come in can be reused once the candle burns out for any number of things.  These are candles that will give even the most popular brands a run for their money.

Bridgewater Candles come in a variety of shapes and sizes from votive to large jars. The scents they offer are unique and fun, but there is another important benefit to getting your candles from Bridgewater that you can't find anywhere else.  They have started a wonderful program called "Light a Candle, Feed a Child". Every time you purchase one of their jar candles, money will be donated to help feed a child for one day. Plus they have free shipping on all orders over $100! So stock up on some great scents and help a child in need today with the wonderful candles from Bridgewater.

One lucky winner is going to receive a large candle in the scent of their choice. To enter, you must visit Bridgewater and tell me which scent you would choose if you were the lucky winner.

Pentip's Place Review & Giveaway

 My oldest daughter has inherited my love of all things magical. She has a huge collection of fairies and unicorns all over her room. So it was a wonderful surprise last week when we received a beautiful hand made unicorn figure from Pentip's Place on the same day that my daughter donated her hair to Locks for Love.  She fell in love with it immediately because like all the items in the shop they are infused with the magic and uniqueness you can only find on Etsy.

I was completely amazed at the detail of the unicorn figure we received to review. While its made completely by hand using simple materials like cloth and yarn, when you look at it, you will see its an intricate masterpiece. Our unicorn was white with blue accents. The mane is made from yarn, and the body is so well sown together, I couldn't even find any seams. It is enhanced with black beaded eyes and sparkling designs along the whole of its body. But the thing I find the most amazing about his piece is that they somehow manage to get the legs to move just like a plastic figure. But you should keep in mind that these amazing works of art are meant as decorations and are not going to hold up to rough play. Ours is proudly displayed on my daughter's dresser with her other unicorn collectibles.

The unicorns are only one example of so many beautiful, one of kind pieces you can find at Pentip's Place.  They also have ponies and horses, Pegasuses, leopards and more. One of my favorites is the Griffin which looks so amazing and life like in the photos. In addition to the animal figures, you can also find some unique jewelry. If you are looking for a gift for a collection or maybe you have a horse lover if your life, this is a shop that will provide you with something truly unique.

One very lucky winner is going to win the beautiful pink Solvey Pony shown in the photo to the right. To enter this giveaway, please visit Pentip's Place and tell me another item you would love to have.
