I like to be super comfortable and stylish, who doesn’t? I really like to wear comfortable tennis shoes too. She why the heck not, put the wedge AND sneaker together for an all around trendy look??

upere wedge sneakers

Upere did just that! They put the wedge and sneaker together to make one terrific shoe! I received a pair of the Upere Wedge Sneakers to review. I wanted black ones, but got the blue ones instead, oh well!

I was pleasantly surprised at how cute these wedge sneakers truly are. I love the height on them and the look is sporty and cute. I love to wear them with a pair of jeans and a tight-fitting t-shirt. Very trendy and all the stars are going with the wedge sneakers these days including: Jessica Alba, Kim Kardashian, Dakota Fanning and more! If they can do it, I can do it too :)

These shoes look like your average high top tennis shoe, but has a little height to it! A wedge is nestled inside this tennis shoe to give it a ‘lift’! These are really cute.

They are comfortable too. I like how they feel on my feet. Not uncomfortable, considering their height. They are trendy and fun and I like that I can wear them with jeans or leggings. They have an extra velcro band that goes around your ankle, to tighten it nicely, then it has that ‘pillow cushion’ for added comfort, then you have the other velcro fastenings. All of that makes for a great, comfortable, plush fitting! I think these kinds of shoes you just have to check out in person. You just cannot tell how cute they are or comfy they are until you have them on YOUR feet.

Monkey Mat: Portable Travel Picnic And Play Mat (Review & Discount Code!)

By · 9 Comments

Monkey_Mat_Logo_SWMM

Warm weather is here! Woot! I am sooo  happy about this and so are my kids! That means more time outside, enjoying nature. With a baby though, I need a good place to set baby when we do venture outside. I don’t want to always carry around a swing or chair, no way! So I now use the Monkey Mat that I received to review. It is pretty cool.

Monkey Mat

What is A Monkey Mat???

The Monkey Mat is a great mat that is awesome for picnic’s and play time for baby, inside the house or out. It is waterproof, has weighted corners (so the wind can’t blow it up so easily..) and it is washable. It comes nestled inside of a really cute zipper pouch (that is attached to the mat so you can’t lose it!) and is very compact so you can bring it anywhere! Just throw it in your purse or diaper bag (or clip it on!) and go!

Monkey Mat Play Mat

My Thoughts…

I love this mat. It is not only practical but super cute too. I love that it not only has weighted corners, but also has little loops on each corner, to stake it down, if need be. It is completely machine washable, so any mess on it can easily be washed in the washing machine! It is water repellant and is a great size at 5′x5′! Perfect for those family outings to a parade, beach or whatever!

Monkey_Mat_colors

It comes in four different colors: tan, blue, pink and orange. I received the tan one! I am very pleased with this mat and have already used it several times, going to my mom’s house and recently at the zoo.

You can purchase the Monkey Mat online at http://www.monkeymat.com/. They retail for $39.99.

Keeping Your Skin Beautiful With Clean & Clear (Review & Giveaway)

By · 15 Comments

*This post contains an affiliate link

We all know that when there is a big event you are attending, the dreaded breakouts seem to happen. It never fails and it does not matter how old you are, a breakout can happen to ANYONE at anytime.. ugh.

I JUST started seeing clearer skin in my late thirties. Can you believe that? I must knock on wood though, because I can see myself being jinxed by saying that. Watch, tomorrow morning I will wake up with a huge zit on my nostril…so weird!

Anyways, Clean & Clear has some great products to keep your skin clean and fresh feeling, even on the hottest of days! I received the Advantage Acne Spot Treatment, Oil Absorbing Sheets (which I already use all the time and SWEAR by) and Makeup Dissolving Facial Cleansing Wipes.

clean_and_clear

I had never tried the Clean & Clear Advantage Acne Spot Treatment. It comes in a little tube and a little goes a long way. I use it on my chin, where I tend to breakout if I do break out, and I use it there, if I sense a breakout or blemish coming on. My chin is clear and nice feeling. I can tell this is strong stuff though, just by the way it feels on my skin.

The Clean & Clear Oil-Absorbing Sheets are amazing. I have been using them for YEARS now and use at least one, everyday :) I have to keep my shine on my face at bay and these work miracles for greasy shine. All you do is take the oil absorbing, blue sheet and swipe it over your oily parts on  your face. When you look at the sheet, you will see ‘clear’ spots on it where the oil was absorbed. Your face is then oil-free! LOVE these.

The Makeup Dissolving Facial Cleansing Wipes are awesome for taking off your makeup anytime of the day. I use them at night though. But these are great for after workouts at the gym too! These even work on waterproof mascara ;)

Spoonful Of Comfort (Review)

By · 5 Comments

spoonful of comfort logo swmm

Don’t you hate it when you get sick and absolutely cannot cook? Your family will starve without you, correct? Nah, they don’t have to. You can have Dad cook or order out, right? Nah to that too. You just want to REST and get better! You want to do NOTHING!!

spoonful of comfort

That is how I feel when I do get sick. Spoonful of Comfort can help you out with that meal. I received a delicious, home cooked meal from Spoonful of Comfort, to review and share my thoughts with you..

The meal arrived in record time. I was impressed with its presentation and how cute everything looked. It did arrive on a day I did not feel like cooking, so that was nice too. Well, heck, I DID just have a baby, so it was nice not having to cook for once! Whoosh..

chicken noodle soup

What I Received:

Home Made Chicken Noodle Soup

6 Rolls

6 Delicious Oatmeal & Raisen Cookies

1337295512_1

My Thoughts..

I loved the thought of this! Comfort food to your door and ready to serve! So nice! The chicken noodle soup was good, but I made it better by adding more seasonings. The rolls were okay, but they had a taste of the plastic it was in. But, the cookies were to die for. I seriously have never tasted oatmeal raisen cookies that were this good. And these were also very nicely sized cookies! Oh how I craved more, when they were gone! YUM. All in all, I enjoyed the meal, but really really really enjoyed the cookies the most!

Now, you can order this for your college student, for a friend who does not feel well or is sad, or for just because! I know anyone I am in contact with, loves the idea of this. Who doesn’t love food delivered to them?

HAAN MultiforcePro SS25 Indoor and Outdoor Steam Cleaner (Review)

By · 2 Comments

*product received. All opinions are mine. Affiliate links in this post.haan_logo

Like I told you all before, my home is half carpet and half hard wood floors. With three little kids, two of which are VERY active, I NEED a good floor cleaner, to keep my floors spick and span!

I cannot handle anything on my floors. It drives me NUTS. So when I was asked if I wanted to review the HAAN MultiforcePro SS25, I was so excited to give it a try!

HAAN

When this arrived, my floors were filthy. It was a hot day and the kids had been in and out of the house and my floors were paying the price! I could not wait to try this device out!

HAAN

This steam mop cleans not only indoors, but outdoors too! You can also clean your carpets, mattresses, rugs, sofas and more!!! LOVE.  It has two pads that move back and forth, vigorously, to scrub, buff and clean those floors! It is chemical free and uses only steam, to safely clean your floors and sanitize too. That way it is safe around children and those fur babies.

The removable water tank is easily removed and filled at the kitchen sink and put back on with ease. This also has a swivel head , so that you can reach all of those hard to reach places, easily. This includes carpet glide to refresh carpet with 2 sets of reusable ultra-microfiber pads for extra cleaning time!

This takes about 45 seconds or more, to heat up and get ready. After that, you are good to go for up to 20 minutes. The cord length is 18′, so you have lots of cord and you don’t have to keep unplugging and plugging back in in different outlets around the house.

Clean floor

When I use this, it is kind of loud, like a small car is running. But man does this clean my wood floors beautifully! I love how easy this is to use and how well it gets around things. The cord is never a favorite feature of mine, but the HAAN MultiforcePro is an awesome product and I find myself not being so annoyed with that cord! I use this machine when I want a nice, deep clean on my dirty floors. When I am done using the pads, I throw them in the wash and let them air dry. Very easy to do! I am very happy with this product.

What Comes In The Box:

  • HAAN Multiforce Pro™ Steam Cleaner
  • Ultra-Microfiber Cleaning Pads (2 sets)
  • Buffing Pads (1 set)
  • Scrub Brush Attachments (1 set)
  • Floor Protector/Resting Mat
  • Carpet Glide
  • Fresh Rinse Lime & Scale Remover (x12)

Buy

You can purchase the HAAN MultiforcePro SS25 online at http://www.haanusa.com/. It retails for $239.95.

WarmZe’s Amazing Bottle Warmers! (Review & Giveaway)

By · 5 Comments

WarmZe_logo

Have you ever been out and about with your little baby and tried giving him/her a bottle with breast milk/formula that was cold? Did they turn it away and spit it out? My little guy will NOT drink cold breast milk! He will spit it out and start to cry. When we are out and about and I try to give him the pumped breast milk in a bottle, it HAS to be warm! Or he gets very upset :(

WarmZe

What is a mom to do? It is not like there are bottle warmers available everywhere, when you are out and about! To make things easier for mom and make baby content, there is WarmZe. WarmZe is an amazing bottle warmer. We received WarmZe to review and man this is an awesome invention :)

WarmZe‘s amazing bottle warmers produce natural heat without the use of batteries, electrical outlets, microwaves and stoves! Perfect for on the go!! It is super quick and effective and mom and baby are happy again :)

warmze bottle warmers

All you do is place the prepared bottle into the BottleSOC, wrap the air activated warmer around it and then pull the outer layer of the BottleSOC over it. A perfectly warmed bottle will be ready in thirty minutes or less and is never overheated! The gradual warmth of this process ensures that the contents don’t become too hot and lose their nutritional value.

This is easy to use and works perfectly. The air activated warmer lasts a long time too. You can even prepare a bottle at bedtime and have it ready to go for early morning feedings without having to stumble around in the dark! When you don’t need it anymore and it is still warm (stays warm for up to 10 hours!), lay it on your aching muscles or use it like I did, when I had mastitis (of course always use a small towel between the warmer and your skin), I used it on my breast to help take the pain away and to help my milk duct open again. Lots of uses for the warmer, after you are done using it for the bottle!

WarmZe offers a large starter kit, large warmer packs, small starter kit, and small warmer packs. The kit comes with 2 warming compresses and a chic-cover that protects the bottle and those little hands! The chic-covers are so cute! They come in a few different patterns to choose from.

Buy

You can purchase WarmZe online at http://www.warmze.com/store/

One person will win a  large kit along with a NUK bottle!

Energizer Flameless Wax Candles (Review & Giveaway)

By · 11 Comments

*product received. post contains affiliate links.energizer logo

Do you love candles, but hate the black smoke they give off? Or do you love candles, but fear your child might get a hold of that dangerous flame?

I absolutely love candles and the above things I mentioned, bother me. I have one candle that I had in my bathroom and the flame made my mirror and wall turn black! Ugh. Then, one time when my kids were little, they got up on my kitchen counter where I had a candle burning, and started their own little ‘camp fire’ with my mail that was sitting next to it on the counter, sigh.. That was SCARY to look up and see!!!!

energizer flameless wax candle

Since then, I have been searching for candles that are flameless and more safe for my walls and my kids! I heard about the Energizer Flameless Wax Candles and new I had found something amazing!

energizer flameless wax candle vanilla

I received the vanilla scented (yep they are scented!!)  3×6 and a 3×4 ivory pillar, along with the batteries to power them! When these arrived I was soooooo excited to give them a try!

energizer flameless candle

They do EACH take 3 AA batteries (which keeps your candles running for 150 hours) , so that is the only downfall (but mine came with the batteries, so I was good to go :) ). But let me tell you all, these candles are AMAZING.

I am absolutely thrilled to have them in my home. I have the larger pillar candle in my room. With a newborn baby (okay, so he is going on 5 months, but still...) I HAVE to be able to see in my room at night. I have to be able to check on my baby boy to make sure he is good. So, having this candle glowing in my room ALL night long, is a must now for me.

energizer flameless wax candle vanilla

It gives off a flickering light, just like a regular flame candle. It is WAX (yep!!) and it is scented vanilla (though I don’t notice the smell in my room, just when I put my nose to the actual candle). It also has a timer on the bottom of the candle which I use ALL the time. All I did was set it and I don’t have to do ANYTHING else with it. It turns on all by itself when it gets dark out and when the sun comes up, this beautiful candle turns off! I LOVE this candle, just love it. I am asking for more for Mother’s day :) I NEED more.

The other candle I received, I gave to my mother-in-law and now I wish I did NOT. I want it back, LOL. Blah. Anyways, these are truly great flameless wax candles and I am so happy with them.

Enjoy the ambiance of a real candle without the worry of a real flame. They are safe to use around children and pets and leave no soot or mess. Safe and beautiful light for anybody, anytime, anywhere. ​

 These flameless wax candles come in different scents, colors and sizes! You will have to check them out to see for yourself! They are perfect for decorating and home, dinner table or giving as a gift to that special someone! Just don’t forget those Energizer Batteries!!!!
