Play that funky Music…..Magpie

By · 26 Comments

*This is a sponsored guest post

I recently bought myself my very own iPod. Yes I know, I am way behind the times, but hear me out. Since I could play music on my laptop I never saw the point in buying a more portable player. Now though, with thoughts turning to the summer and the excitement of thinking about booking a family holiday, I thought it was high-time I invested in an iPod so I could take all my music with me to pass the time as I relax in the sun.  
 
I like to choose my music and not skip at random, so I got a cute little touchscreen iPod Nano, which is one of the cheapest iPods Apple has to offer. Even so, I still felt a bit bad spending over 100 bucks on a music player, as I’m trying to save for our actual holiday so my family and I can go somewhere nice this year. 
DVD
 
Since I’ve ripped all my CDs onto my laptop over the years, I can download these straight onto my Nano. I therefore really don’t have much use for these discs at all anymore, so I figured that selling these old CDS would be a great way to make a bit of extra cash to put towards my guilt-free purchase.
 
After a bit of research, firstly I found that you can auction bulk CDs on eBay, but I wanted to sell the CDs quickly, not faff around categorizing and listing several dozens of random CDs by artist or genre. Secondly, with CD prices set so competitively on Amazon for new editions of the same discs, I couldn’t compete trying to sell them on the marketplace. 
 
However, a little bird recently told me about an online gem I’ve not heard of before. You may have seen the ads on TV too talking about www.musicmagpie.com. If not, it is a brilliant money exchange website, where you can swap unwanted CDs, as well as DVDS and Blu-rays and video games for a quick and easy cash sum. I loved the fact that it was free to use and send the items to them, and in no time at all I got back a check of my accumulated total. 
 
MusicMapie’ing my stuff really made a difference to cutting down the price of my new iPod Nano, and I’ll definitely be using them again when I want to ‘tweat’ myself!

Perfectly Posh Pampering Products! Review and Giveaway :)

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Jennifer Wexler #34!

 Lisa Garner #1235!

Michelle Chappell #750!!

I know we all need a bit of pampering sometime, am I right? After a hard day with the kids or at the office or both, we need some comforting too! What better way to do yourself some good then to take a nice warm/hot bath with some bath goodies for just YOU!

Perfectly Posh has some awesome spa grade products that are made in the US and do not contain harmful toxins. They have a large array of wonderful pampering products and I had a very hard time choosing what I wanted to review. Me and beauty/pampering products go hand in hand ;)

I FINALLY chose the following to review:

Awesome Blossom
LipShot Gloss — Raspberry Bang-Bang
Glittering Snowball Bombinator
Slather Body Butter — Lemon Rice

Lovey Dovey Collection

When it all arrived, it arrived just adorably packaged, loved that! Inside were beautifully contained pampering products. Love the containers everything comes in and inside those containers are some wonderful products to make me feel so pampered!

Awesome Blossom is too cute and smells way too good! It comes with the Cherry Blossom Slather, 3 Cherry Butter Mini Bombinators and 1 Cherry Vanilla Lovely LipButter. What a fun and neat little package. Everything you need to feel soft and smell good! The slather makes your skin feel so drenched and hydrated, love this. The mini bombinators and fun for me and the kids. They are so fizzy and make the water turn a different color kind of.  They do go fast though, but leave your bath water smelling very nice!!! The lipbutter leaves my lips super conditioned. My daughter did, however, steal this one from me, sigh..

The LipShot Gloss in Raspberry Bang-Bang, is one of my favorite glosses now. It comes in a tube and is glossy, smells nice and is very sheer with just a tiny hint of color on my lips. Perfect for summer time! It is not sticky to me and I do have to reapply after drinking or eating.

The Glittering Snowball Bombinator, I have not used  yet. But this thing is gorgeous!! It is big and sparkly and I can’t wait to use it in a bath. I think this would be a perfect Christmas gift for some one on your list this year. I think I will actually add this one to my Holiday Gift Guide this year, because it is so pretty and practical for an overtired mama!!!

The Lovey Dovey Collection has some great sweetheart things in it, think Valentines Day for next year!!! It comes all together in a plastic box that contains adorable heart Confetti Soap, Sparkling Soap, Pink Soap and Pink Vanilla Massage Mud, and a Bubble Love Bombinator!! So much fun for me and the kids :) Smells delish too!

Lastly is the delicious and ever so hydrating Slather Body Butter  in Lemon Rice. A faint smell of lemon fills the air when you open this container. It is a nice sized container and I see this lasting a while for me. It is really really thick and is perfect for parched skin. I use this all over my body but especially on my elbows, knees, ankles and feet. Talk about very soft feet and elbows, etc, after using this for a day or two. LOVE. Skin may tend to get a bit greasy, but it does absorb nicely into your skin, just give it a few. I use this at bed time.

Now since Perfectly Posh JUST made its debue on October 1, 2011, you may not have heard of this company. But, let me tell you, I am so happy I got to know this company because I just love it now. I love all the products they have and how they package everything too. Simply adorable! The prices are very reasonable too.

It is longer, about 31″ in length, or I can use the cute ribbon it came with and double it up and make it shorter! Love that option!!! I feel really pretty wearing this necklace. It is super cute with a tight, fitted t-shirt and some tight jeans ;) and boots! Talk about HOT!
Next up are the Deco Drop Earrings. Sooo pretty and elegant looking. These look best with a nice shirt and skirt or nice pants. Maybe put your hair up in a messy, sexy bun? ya, that would be soo pretty. They are Deco faceted CZ and Czech crystals that adorn a delicate vintage inspired drop.
The Toujours Earrings are a favorite of mine! They hang and are dangly, love it! They are a cascading, mother of pearl disc earrings with a aceted metallic beads shimmer. Just beautiful!

Juice In The City: Great Daily Deals That Help You Save, Locally!

By ·

Juice in the City is run by moms for moms and is a great daily deals site, that you can shop LOCALLY. The best of both world’s?  I am thinking so!

You see, moms work with the local businesses to bring YOU the awesome deals you will find on Juice In The City. All you do is find a great deal on Juice in The City, buy the voucher and present it to the local business you bought it for, and that is it! Get your amazing deals locally!

The great deals will expire at midnight and they accept all major credit cards, which I thought was awesome!

Each day, they feature an awesome deal that a local mom near you has personally recommended. Their Local Business Consultants (LBCs) find the deal and write it up so you can get the deal too! Then, purchase great deals and get vouchers to go have fun with…and come back daily to discover the next great deal!

Another great thing is that a certain number of people don’t have to buy the deal in order for you to get it, like some deal sites. You don’t have to use your voucher the same day that you get it.  But you should use it before it expires. If you forget to use it before it does expire, you can still get the equivalent value of services you paid from the vendor, you are just not guaranteed that specific deal.

So What Are These Great Deals?

These great deals are anything from, food, entertainment, spa services, kids stuff, accessories and MORE!

Do You Like Sharing Local Deals?

If you do, why not join Juice In The City?! If you have a website, you can become an affiliate and earn 10% commission or you can become a Juice in The City Local Business Consultant! They are hiring!

You can also earn money by referring your friends to this site! I just started and already have $10 in my account to put towards deals!

So, be on the lookout, because from now on, I will be sharing with you, all the wonderful deals I find!! Can ‘t wait :) You will find the Juice in The City widget in my sidebar, for your convenience! And of course I will be posting about the ones I REALLY love! Stay tuned!

 

Disclosure:

 This is a paid post, however, these are my own honest opinions of Juice In The City and I am excited to grab up some great deals and share them with you all!
