Marianna Ballard #779!!

We all like to be a bit sinful, right? Or maybe wish we could be, but don’t dare!! But who is to say our perfume we wear can’t be sinful? I say go for it! Make that perfume as sinful as you want ;)

There is a new women’s fragrance out, (well it  came out in May of this year, but that is new enough for me…) and it is quite sinful. A good sinful if there were one. It is called Sinful. It smells nice and makes me feel crazy good! It says that it is good for women ages 16-24 years old, and I said “Excuse me??!” I don’t think so… GEESH. Like I am sooo old that this perfume just would not work on me? I think not.. So I use it ALL the time, just to spite those dumb age stats.. HA.

Anyways, it smells really nice, you know, like a young women aged 16-24...the packaging of this is totally cute. It has Sinful’s signature wings that dominate in a metalized finish. The Sinful logo medallion is outlined with jewels that add sparkle to the vibrant pink bottle.

Top Notes: Mandarin, Grapefruit, Raspberry

Mid Notes: Rose, Gardenia, Sparkling Mimosa

Base Notes: Sandalwood, Patchouli, Tonkabean

So, as you can see, lots of nice smelling properties in this sinful fragrance!

 Buy

Sinful is sold exclusively at www.Buckle.com and it retails for $49.95 but is on sale at Buckle for only $39.95! You can also check out this perfume at http://trufragrance.com/.

Create Personalized Photo Gifts With Printerpix! Review and Canvas Giveaway!

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Michelle Henriquez #1193!!

I LOVE photo canvases, just love them. They are what I prefer over a regular picture framed, on my walls. They are just more interesting to me and I always get compliments on them.

I had the opportunity to work with Printerpix. Oh man I was excited to do so! I was able to choose a photo canvas!! So, I got my kids all glammed up and took a few pictures. I chose one I just LOVED and used that one for my photo canvas. I knew EXACTLY where it would be going too, right above my fireplace in that very bare spot! This photo canvas would fill it up nicely!

The ordering process was super simple, I hardly had to think at all (which I really like!) and had my canvas the way I wanted it in no time. Once the ordering process was over, I just waited, but not too long, probably about a week, and then my canvas was at my doorstep! Yay!

It came in a flat, cardboard box and was packaged with such care that I was very impressed with it. Inside was my beautiful photo canvas with my two gems!! I was/am soooooooo pleased!!! I took a few pictures of it and then had my hubby immediately hang it to avoid any children ruining it. And, it looks just as beautiful, above my fireplace, as I had imagined it would! So happy :)

 

I received the 36×24 gallery wrapped canvas and I really want to order another one for another room in my home. The quality is beautiful and my kids are too cute in the picture!

Printerpix has a bunch of things to choose from, not just their outstanding photo canvases. They also do photo books, photo calendars, wall decor, photo gifts and more. Great selection of things to browse through and check out!  The photo canvas starts at $49.95 and goes up from there. There are quite a few sizes to choose from, so just pick one that fits you!

Buy

Snapfish Is Introducing the New 11 x 14-inch Lay Flat Photo Book! (Review)

By ·

I have always loved using Snapfish for most of my photo needs. And, I certainly love storing my photos there and sharing with my family members who are near and far!

Snapfish recently introduced their new 11 x 14-inch Lay Flat Photo Book and it is totally neat! I was able to create one and I just LOVE it so much! Usually the photo books that I receive are medium/small-sized but this one is a great size at 11×14 inches!

Making the book was super easy and I loved being able to make it how I wanted to make it. The site is very easy to use and I was finished in no time, though I could have taken longer, but there was no need to! Once I received the actual photo book, I was so happy with its sturdiness and quality. It is well made and I know it will last a life time! I also love how it lays flat when I want to flip through it. The pages don’t go all over the place because of the lay flat feature. I am happy with the results!! Love my photo book!

A couple of cool features of this book:

•        Innovative lay-flat pages for seamless viewing of your favorite photo. This gives your photo book a magazine-like feel!

•        Eye-catching full-page photo spreads. No sections of your photos will be lost in the binding.

•        Makes a great coffee table book, guest book for weddings and events, and even a cook book to showcase your family’s secret recipes.

I think my next Snapfish Lay Flat Photo Book is going to be a cook book! How fun would that be?! Especially for the holidays coming up, make one and give it as a gift!! Priceless!

Make Your Book Today!

Go ahead and make your photo book today! Just visit http://www2.snapfish.com to get started!

Have you ever made a photo book of your own?

Vtech InnoTab 2 (Review)

By ·

VTechkids.com

We love Vtech around our home, that is a given! We have lots of cool toys from Vtech. We recently received a new gadget from Vtech, the new Vtech InnoTab 2!!! It comes in white and pink :)

Oh how my children fought over this one, wow. I ’bout lost my mind! But, when my son went to school, my daughter got to play around with it with no distractions from big brother.

Both of my kids LOVE the InnoTab 2!! I even LOVE it! It is so neat and has so many wonderful features to play around with. Wow. It has a rotating camera, video player, e-reader, motion games, cartridge library and downloadable content! Like I said, lots of fun stuff!!

 

It was so funny, the first day my kids used it, they figured out the video maker/player on their own. When I went to bed that night, I took the InnoTab 2 to check out on my own, and laughed so hard at the videos they made together. It was HILARIOUS. Give children a video camera and watch their imaginations go wild, seriously!!! Awesome stuff. The video player and the camera has to be their most favorite features on this gadget. They can spend hours on making videos and going around the house and taking pictures, heck, I even was in some of those pictures and videos and did not know it! Little stinkers!  Videos can also be downloaded and played back on the InnoTab 2 Learning App Tablet!

Just a few nights ago, I downloaded two games (you get two free credits with this to get two free games or e-books!!!) and I also purchased some e-books for the kids, I let them pick. You have to install the disc it comes with to get those two free credits, I learned that the irritating way, LOL. I then transferred the games and e-books to the InnoTab 2, which was kind of irritating too, because my computer froze and I had to redo EVERYTHING. I thought that I had paid and then lost my e-books and games, so I was very  irritated for a bit until I figured it all out AGAIN. Ugh. Other then that, it was pretty simple to do.

There is already a game on the device when you get it. And it came with a cartridge that has some fun stuff on it too, like the alien game. My kids LOVE this game because it is a game, that shows your home (in the camera mode) and you walk around and you have to capture all the aliens, well the ones that match a certain pattern. My kids love it because it looks like aliens are really in your home!! Way too cute!!

When your kids use the camera, they can save and edit the photos using wacky special effects, stamps and more. The camera rotates from back to front to capture the action wherever it is happening. This is another great feature! My kids enjoy taking photos and then dressing them up with hats and other fun things!!

The e-books are super cool because the stories come to life on InnoTab learning tablet for kids through interactive, animated e-books that offer story narration, character voices, animation, vivid graphics, sounds and music. So,my kids want to continue reading and looking at these books, because they truly are so much fun!

Motion games are pretty cool too. My kids have fun moving the  InnoTab 2 around to play the games! This helps kids develop the skills of using touch apps including tap, flick, and drag-and-drop, just as their parents do with their iPad(R) or other touch-screen tablet devices.

VTech’s download library on Learning Lodge Navigator has hundreds of games, apps, e-books, music, videos and more to purchase and download! The Learning Lodge Navigator lets your child play, learn, and explore (with more content coming this Fall). We have a lot of fun browsing this and finding new games and stuff to purchase!

Anyways, so much to talk about but those are the main things! My kids really love the InnoTab 2 and it certainly keeps them busy while helping them learn!! Makes me happy!

Buy

You can purchase the new InnoTab 2 online at http://www.vtechkids.com

Do your kids have any Vtech gadgets? If so, which ones?

Lice Shield

Oh the dreaded words “Mom, I have lice”. Ugh. I have NEVER heard it in my home, knock on wood, and never want to hear those words!! BUT, if I do hear those words, I plan on being prepared, ahead of time, with having Lice Shield and already be using it. ALWAYS be prepared!!!

In the spirit of keeping America lice-free, I wanted to let parents know that they can  join in on this movement by registering their concern for lice in their area on Lice Shield’s Lice Watch app. found on Lice Shield’s Facebook Page. The Lice Shield Back to School promotion, a movement that aims to keep America Lice Free, is wonderful!!

So, you can be prepared and you can keep up to date on lice outbreaks in your area, which I find VERY useful!! As of right now, there seems to be the most outbreaks in the opposite end of the country (good for us, bad for those of you in those areas!) and only a few scattered across the US with none, that I see, in Washington state. BUT, I know that is because many people are not using this app yet, so I really want to spread the word so we can really make this app as useful as it is meant to be!!

Use the App and Win!!

So, use the app, let people know if there is a lice outbreak in your city/area and you will also be entered to win some Lice Shield products! All for using the app and helping to keep America Lice Free!!! Yay! 

 Buy

You can purchase Lice Shield by locating a store near you that carries it!

Soft Scrub Total All Purpose Cleaners Review and Giveaway

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Marcie Wahrer #1622!!

 

It is so hard to keep my home in tip-top shape with two kids around. And, since I am pregnant, I get so tired sooo easily now a days! I try to pick things up as I walk past them and clean as I go, but sometimes I get behind, UGH.

Deep cleaning does not get done as often as it should, but my house IS clean, like the toilets and kitchen. At least they are clean and not filthy or disgusting, no way I would allow that. I vacuum twice a week and sweep about 2-3 times a day. So, I think I am doing alright, but I could be doing a better job if I was not so tired!

It seems every time I look on other blogs or Facebook, I see other people’s homes and I  think to myself “how on earth is their home sooo clean-looking?” It blows me away and makes me feel bad that my home is not that organized or clean, sigh..

Anyways, I had the chance to review Soft Scrub’s new Total All Purpose Cleaners in my home and I am glad I tried them out. I received the Soft Scrub Total All Purpose for the kitchen and one for the bathroom. These are truly great cleaning products to have on hand. I really love how easy they are to  use, just point and spray and they smell decent. They have a patented trigger that allows you to clean with a fine mist or thick foam. The trigger can even be used upside down, though I did not have much luck with that part of it.

It really does clean though and it cleans pretty well. It works well on stains while being gentle on surfaces. And, it cleans and deodorizes, which I really like. So, the products I reviewed are great. I always love a new, great working household cleaners that live up to what they say they will do.

The Tough & Gentle Sweepstakes!

Soft Scrub is holding a sweepstakes with $3,000 in prizes!!! One lucky winner wins $1,000 and 50 other winners win $40 each!! I JUST entered and so should YOU!!! Go now!

Win

One person is going to win TWO Get One Free Product Coupons to experience these new cleaners for yourself!!

How?

My hubby loved all the battles in this movie and I loved the fairy tale itself. The whole movie was entertaining and funny at times. The special effects are very cool and the characters in this movie are just awesome! Many great actors and actresses in this one! And, just because of the title “Snow White” do not expect it to be anything like the fairy tale we all know and love.  No, it is a darker tale with lots of action-fantasy scenes. This movie may not be a perfect taste for everyone, but we certainly enjoyed it.
