Doc McStuffins: Friendship Is The Best Medicine Available Today! Printable Activity Sheets Too! (Review And Giveaway)

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Teresa Moore #860!

Doc McStuffins: Friendship Is The Best Medicine releases for the first time on Disney DVD and digital copy, TODAY, August 21st!! Woot! My kids just started actually watching this show only recently and they have fallen in love with it!

My kids already LOVE to play doctor with all of their stuffed animals, dolls and other toys, so when they started watching Doc McStuffins, it was an instant hit in our home. My sons favorite part of Doc McStuffins is the blue dragon that is in it. He thinks he is really cool :) My daughter loves Doc, because she is always helping her ‘friends’.

Doc McStuffins: Friendship Is The Best Medicine includes a DVD featuring five full length episodes, each consisting of two 11-minute stories, a Digital Copy of the episodes, which is perfect for your little ones to watch anytime, anywhere! Many of the stories in Doc McStuffins, directly address the kinds of issues that we parents face with our young children, when it comes to good health, hygiene and trips to the doctor’s office. I really enjoy watching this show too as it is really cute!

Episodes Featured On The DVD Are:


The DVD contains five full length episodes, each consisting of two 11-minute stories, that highlight some of Doc’s favorite toys

· ENGINE NINE, FEELIN’ FINE! – Doc and her toys learn a lesson about dehydration after discovering that Donny’s toy fire engine has run out of water.

· THE RIGHT STUFF – Stuffy rips his tail and tries to hide it from Doc and the other toys and learns that anyone can get hurt – even brave dragons.

· CAUGHT BLUE-HANDED – When a mysterious rash of blue spots breaks out among some of the toys in the clinic, Doc traces the “Mystery Pox” back to Donny’s toy monster, Glo-Bo who had been finger-painting earlier in the day and forgot to wash his hands. Glo-Bo is voiced by Jim Belushi.

· TO SQUEAK, OR NOT TO SQUEAK – Doc helps a plastic toy duck get his voice back after his squeaker pops out.

· BEN/ANNA SPLIT! – When Doc’s huggy monkey doll Ben loses the velcro patch that attaches him to his sister Anna, Doc glues it back on and tells him that he will have to stay in the clinic overnight while it dries.

· THAT’S JUST CLAW-FUL – Doc prescribes physical therapy for her crab bath toy Hermie after she reattaches one of his claws that has fallen off.

· THE RIP HEARD ROUND THE WORLD – While dancing with Lambie, Doc accidentally rips a hole in her fur.

· WALKIE-TALKIE TIME – Doc diagnoses a toy walkie-talkie with “Staticosis” and helps find his missing antenna so he can communicate clearly again.

· DARK KNIGHT – During a sleepover with all of her toys, Doc discovers that Sir Kirby is afraid of the dark and prescribes a night light to cure him of the “Dark Willies.”

· HALLIE GETS AN EARFUL – When Hallie is having trouble hearing, Doc gives her a hearing test and realizes that she has extra cotton stuck in her ears.

So, as you can see, lots of great episodes for your child (and YOU!) to enjoy!!

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.

Oransi Fridge Air Purifier Review and Giveaway

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Bryan Eason #975

Have you ever opened up your fridge only to inhale a foul odor? Oh heavens, I certainly have! And it is gross! Not to say my fridge is dirty, because it is not. Just sometimes I have food that does not smell very good after sitting in the fridge for a day or so and yes, sometimes, I forget to throw it out in a timely manner….

I have always used the baking soda in a box, on the shelf of my fridge or those little stick-up air things in my fridge and they seem to work okay. I was sent the Oransi Fridge Air Purifier to try out and couldn’t wait to stick it in my fridge to see if it really would work for me.

It was a lot smaller than I thought it would be, but that is okay as there is usually not much space in my fridge. It does require two AA batteries which were not included (would have been nice if they were). They are simple to install though and once installed a little green light went on, after I pressed the on button.

PIN THIS IMAGE TO WIN!

I then, put the Oransi Fridge Air Purifier on a shelf (at the top) in my fridge. I have only had it in there for about 3 full days, so who is to tell how well I will find it works for me and my fridge. But, for now, I don’t notice any foul odors, thank God. It is a silent little device that is suppose to make your fridge smell incredibly fresh, so that will be nice if that holds true! So far, so good :)

Some Specs:

  • Patented Piezo-electric ionizer (ozone safe – 0.011 ppm, that’s more than 78% below the FDA limit)
  • Micro CPU controls the operation of the air purifier to cycle between on/off mode
  • LED display indicates mode of operation
  • Noise Level: Silent
  • Dimensions: 4” x 2.8” x 2.5”
  • Weight: 0.2 lbs
  • Power: 0.1 watts, 2 AA batteries (45-90 day life)
  • Warranty: 1 year
  • Certifications: CE, GS, RoHS

The Oransi Fridge Air Purifier Retails for $39.00

Win!

Since my sweet little bundle of joy will be here in LATE December (we are talking the VERY last day in December…), I am preparing already. I can never be too prepared and everyone with a child KNOWS this is true!!

I try to get together great products for my baby and have it all ready for use! I like products that not only smell really nice (think GOOD baby smells!) but also safe products too. Live Clean Baby is a pretty good choice, in my opinion and I am glad I found out about them!

Though I could not use them on my littlest one just yet, I did use them on my daughter, who has very sensitive skin. I only used it twice on her, so I could be sure to save the rest for baby :) But, when I did use it on my daughter, it never hurt her sensitive skin or give her any weird reactions. That was nice! It smelled clean, like a baby, another huge plus! And left my little girl clean and happy :)

The Baby Collection Has:

Baby Bath, Shampoo and Wash, Baby Lotion, Diaper Ointment, Non-Petroleum Jelly, Bar Soap, Soothing Relief Baby Wash, Soothing Relief Lotion, Soothing Relief Diaper Ointment and Soothing Relief Non-Petroleum Jelly. So lots of great products in the Live Clean Baby Collection!

Ultra Clean Teeth And Gums With Emmi-Dent Ultrasonic Toothbrush! (Review and THREE Giveaways!)

By ·

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Tracy Davis Hayes #935!!

Maryann Drapkin #1304!

Leanne MacGregor #626!!

Ever feel like your teeth just are not as clean as they could be? Do you feel like your teeth are wearing little sweaters come 4 o’clock? I felt this way and hated it!!

I was introduced to Emmi-Dent Ultrasonic Toothbrush and seriously am in love with this toothbrush. No more filmy feeling teeth or a mouth that just feels yucky, the Emmi-Dent really gives my teeth a very clean brushing!

This is an ultrasonic toothbrush  that cleans your teeth and mouth with ultrasound! Until recently, teeth could only be cleaned with abrasive methods by applying abrasive particles in toothpaste. After reading that, I think, wow, we really have put our teeth through the ringer! And we shouldn’t!

The Emmi-Dent not only cleans your teeth well,  but also works between the teeth, (including the fissures and the gingival pockets) – all without friction, with no movement of the brush and without applying abrasives which can damage the enamel. Love this!

My experience with this toothbrush has been nothing but awesome. I love how it GENTLY brushes your teeth. It is seriously the most gentle electric toothbrush I have ever used. I have one part in my mouth that is super sensitive (I had a root canal a while ago and am always paranoid it will crack or something again..), so using this toothbrush on that area of my teeth has been a great experience. I am no longer afraid I might loosen something up! I get that area super clean and my whole mouth just feels so clean.

Some Highlights About Emmi-Dent:

 

  • Effectively destroys bacteria on and in between teeth, gums and deep into the gum pockets. This has been proven to dramatically reduce inflammation, bleeding gums and periodontitis. Cut your budget by reducing your need for mouthwash and dental floss!
  • Nano-bubbles and ultrasound remove everyday stains within a few days, no bleaching, strong chemicals or trips to a specialist are required. Restore your teeth to their youthful color in just days.
  • Emmi-dent cleaning leaves you with fresh breath for up to 12 hours!
  • Maximum cleaning without the need to brush, avoiding damage to enamel and irritation of your gums: Perfect cleaning if your gums are receded or if you experience pain while brushing with a regular toothbrush. • Visit your dentist with a smile. Many common dental problems vanish using Emmi-dent, making your next trip to your dentist a pleasure. • Ideal for kids who hate brushing their teeth. Just hold the unit close to the teeth and they get clean!
  • Great for people with implants, crowns, bridges, and veneers. People who wear braces will also benefit from the advantages of being able to kill bacteria under the brackets and wires.
  • Proven technology in Europe since 2009. Join tens of thousands of happy patients who use Emmi-dent Ultrasonic! 24 months warranty

I have been using this for about a month now and I have not only noticed cleaner teeth and mouth, but I have noticed a difference in the whiteness of my teeth too. It is all from this fabulous toothbrush and to think I did not have to bleach or scrub my teeth to heck and back to get my teeth to look this good, is so wonderful!

Buy

You can purchase Emmi-Dent Ultrasonic Toothbrush online at http://www.emmi-dent.com/ It retails for $189.00.

Win!

THREE people are going to win an Emmi-Dent Ultrasonic Toothbrush of their very own! Woot!!
