Listerine for Kids

Lucky for me my children actually like to brush their teeth,  so the only problem in our household is if they brush them correctly.  I recently heard about a unique product made by Listerine that helps remove particles that brushing may miss.  I have had it on my shopping list for quite some time,  but didn't get around to purchasing any,  so when I was recently contacted to review some Listerine Smart Rinse I was super excited!  Not only does it remove the particles,  but it also reveals them in the sink,  so your children can see exactly what their missing while brushing. 

Benefits of Listerine Smart Rinse Anticavity Fluoride Rinse:

• Anticavity mouthwash helps protect your children's teeth.
• Helps prevent cavities even in places that regular brushing may miss.
• Kills bad breath germs.
• Cleans by removing particles and bacteria that could harm your children's teeth.
• Leaves a clean feeling in your mouth.
• Tints food particles and bacteria so you can see exactly what was missed while brushing.
• Alcohol free.

This product should be used by children ages 6 and over,  making it the perfect mouthwash for my soon to be eight year old son.  He thinks it's so cool that he can see what is left over after brushing and encourages him each time to do a better job brushing his teeth.  He uses it twice a day after brushing his teeth and he loves it's bubble blast flavor.  It is also available in Fab Berry Shield.  The label comes with Disney's Phineas and Ferb  Cartoon printed on it,  which is perfect for him because he is a big fan of that particular cartoon.  Be sure to pick some up the next time your at the store and I am sure your child will enjoy using it as much as my son does! 

BUY IT:  LISTERINE^® SMART RINSE^® can be purchased at food, drug and mass merchandise nationwide.

Wisharoo Park & Capezio Giveaway

As a young girl I fondly remember attending ballet/tap dancing courses at our local community center with my younger sister.  We would wear our little tutus and learn  moves,  after the ballet session came to an end we would tap around in our little tap shoes.  Each week we anxiously awaited Saturday to come so we could go dance our little hearts out.  What we didnt realize(besides the fact that it was fun),  was that ballet helps build coordination,  flexability,  and agility.  So,  when I found out Wisharoo Park was partnering with Capezio for a fun giveaway I was ecstatic!  Wisharoo Park( a great cartoon series that teaches self confidence) is one of sons favorite cartoons,  and Capezio is a world renowned company dedicated to providing high quality dancewear to satisfied customers.

Terracycle

TERRACYCLE.NET

One of the best things I like about blogging is finding interesting sites and products that I would have not known about if it weren't for my blog.  Today I have a special review/giveaway for you,  something that you may not even know exists! Let me introduce you to  Terracycle.net,   one of the fastest growing green companies in the world.  I bet your wondering what is so good about Terracycle,  well the question is what isn't good about Terracycle! 

At terracycle.net they offer you affordable Eco friendly products that are made from non recyclable items and waste! They can recycle anything from old used flip flops,  to Yogurt containers,  and even candy bar wrappers!  Hey,  what's one mans trash is another man's treasure especially when your dealing with Terracycle.  They offer  by far some of the most unique products I have ever  come across. You can help out by sending in your trash or by purchasing products from Terracycle.

Basically what Terracycle does is transform trash into treasure,  really it couldn't be put any better!  Their goal is to eliminate the idea of waste by creating collection and solution systems for anything that would normally be sent to a landfill.  You will find the three steps,  in order to eliminate the idea of waste below. 

 STEP #1.   First you select your trash.

STEP #2.  Collect and Send.

STEP #3.  Solve and Benefit

Terracycle allows you to send in your trash in exchange for a 2 cent donation to your choice of school or charity for each qualified piece of waste that you send in.  Besides the cash payment option they have also added a number of other great ways to reward you and your teams for your collections.  Your points will either be redeemed for a charitable donation or you may select from a range of charity gifts including providing fresh drinking water,  providing meals or other helpful gifts that the world can benefit from.  To date Terracycle(with your help) has collected 2,007,013,927 units of waste and provided $2,839,836,66 in money for charity.  You can learn more about their Points Program Overview here.

While on their site you will find many great back to school items.  Why not send your child back to school in an Eco friendly style that none of the other students will be sporting!   I never thought I would be sending my son to school with a back pack made mainly of Capri-Sun juice pouches because I never had a clue it was even possible!  Capri Suns are some of my sons or should I say all of my sons favorite juice drink so when I saw the Capri Sun backpack I knew it was exactly what my seven year old son would want even though I'm sure he would love some of their other fun products just as well.

 I received the Capri Sun Drink Pouch Backpack to review.  I totally had no clue what a Capri Sun back pack would look like.  Sure,  I saw it in the picture on the website,  but seeing it upclose in person is totally different!  The Capri Sun pouches are easy to identify and are the sewn together nicely.  Your student will sure stand out in this cool backpack that is nothing but ordinary!  I love that the adjustable straps on the back include recycled drink pouches too.  My son loves the bright blue color and the fact that it is made out of Capri Suns!  This backpack is certainly unique and I am sure that my son will be the only one with this backpack in his entire school. 

The only thing that I disliked about this back pack is it's actual size,  it measures 13" T x 10" W x 5" D.  I think the Capri Sun Large Backpack would be a bit better fit for my seven year old son,  but I think the Capri Sun Drink Pouch Backpack is the perfect size for when my middle son starts preschool and kindergarten.  Besides both of these fun backpacks they also offer 10 other Capri Sun themed products.  Be sure to check out their other awesome school supplies including Lunch Boxes,  Sketch Pads,  Pencil Cases, Portfolio- Style Folder,  and many other fun and unique school products.  Besides school products they also offer everything from office items,  to toys,  and everything in between,  so be sure to check them out.  Going green couldn't get any funner than this!

MGF DESIGNS and more

MGF DESIGNS and more

I recently had the wonderful opportunity of participating in a review/giveaway with an  online site called MGF DESIGNS and More.  I took a look around the site and was fascinated by all of her beautiful handmade jewelery all priced very reasonably low.  Besides a hand full of homemade jewelery MGF DESIGNS and More also offers Fashion Jewelery,  Fashion Sterling Silver,  Fashion Bracelets,  Fashion Rings,  Fashion Watches,  Jewelery Organizers, Key Finders,  and newly added Candle Warmers and Homemade Soy Candle Melts.  The earring designs are very unique,  so you will not be able to find them in stores,  but you can find them on MGF DESIGNS and More!    

MGF DESIGNS and More came about when Maricris received a homemade necklace set from her husband.  The homemade necklace set was made by one of his co workers wives,  which inspired her to make her own homemade jewelery... only better!  She set out to make one of a kind jewelery,  and stumbled upon a creative way to produce a jewelery set that can be worn five different ways.  After becoming a stay at home mother she decided to introduce fashion jewelery  to her shop.  She can also make handmade wedding jewelery customized with a specific color of jewelery needed for your wedding party. 

Have you ever thought about throwing a Jewelery Party?  She also offers jewelery parties and if you decide to be a hostess you will receive a free gift along with 10% off  your next order if someone at the party signs up to host one as well.  During the party she will play 3-4 games with your guests making for a fun day with just the women.  I may just have to think about hosting one for my mothers birthday!  Of course,  it is only if you are located in her area,  which I just so happen to be.   She does parties around the Placerville and Sacramento area,  but contact her and she may be able to travel a little further. 

One of the best things about MGF DESIGNS products is that they are all very reasonably priced.  You will find a nice selection of five dollar earrings in all different colors and styles. MGF DESIGNS and more jewelery consists of Handmade Jewelery,  Fashion Jewelery,  and High End 925 Sterling Silver Jewelery.   And to organize all of your jewelery she also offers a couple jewelery organizers in either wood or wire.  And while your organizing your jewelery you might as well keep your purse up with a set of her Purse Hooks. 

I have been in need of a  new navel ring,  and much to my surprise she even offers Fashion Belly Rings.  She offers five stylish designs in an assortment of colors and styles including a variety of three heart shaped navel rings and two other styles as well.  The one that really caught my eye is the Pink Heart shaped navel ring.   It features a pink barbell attached hangs two pink studded hearts.  She sent it to me to review and two days later it was waiting for me in my mailbox( I live near where she is located).

I got my belly button pierced a couple days before my seventeenth birthday and had to beg my mom just to get it done.  3 children later,  and my navel is still pierced!  I love the style of this eye catching navel ring which pairs perfectly with a bikini or mid drift shirt to really show case it.  The pink rhinestones glisten in the light and really stand out.  The hearts on it represent love,  and believe me your going to love it!

Now lets rewind back to the $5 Earrings.  MGF DESIGNS and more currently has 9 different trendy pairs of earrings in stock.  Choose from dashing feather earrings that will be sure to get compliments,  or heart earrings with love written inside the heart and accented with beautiful beads hanging down from them.  Because they are only $5 each you can treat yourself to a pair and purchase a couple extra pair to give as gifts. All of the items on her site make a great gift for Valentines Day,  Mothers Day,  Birthdays,  Christmas and any other occasion for gift giving.  Her shipping charges are also very reasonable starting at only $2.99.

SOUND+SLEEP

SOUND+SLEEP

Ever having trouble sleeping at night,  or trying to take a nap and relax?  Well, then I have the perfect product for you!  Let me introduce you to SOUND+SLEEP,  a sleep therapy system designed to relax your body and mind,  with peaceful sounds to lull you to sleep.  It is the only sleep therapy  system that listens to your environment and automatically adjusts sound levels.  The SOUND+SLEEP Sleep Therapy System is a reliable product that is doctor recommended. 

Are you aware that not getting enough sleep can significantly effect your health,  performance and safety?  It can effect your performance at work,  memory and cognitive impairment,  your relationship, your ability of driving an automobile,   and your overall quality of life.  Have you ever not got a good nights sleep and then been cranky the next day?  Well,  I have many times, but not anymore now that I own a SOUND+SLEEP Sleep Therapy System! 

If you know me,  then you know I am a night owl and I have always been a night owl.  It usually takes me a while to wind down at night.  I'm not one of those persons that can just lay down and fall right to sleep although I am now so I was looking forward to trying out the SOUND+SLEEP machine.  Hey,  anything that would help me get a good night sleep would be a huge help!  I was so grateful that Adaptive Sound Technologies sent me a SOUND+SLEEP Machine to review! 

The first day I received the machine my hubby and I decided to try it out.  As soon as we were ready for bed we set up the sleep machine,  and by set up I actually mean plugged in.   That's all the set up it required...I know too easy, huh!  The machines itself is shaped like a raindrop and black in color,  so it matches perfectly with anything in your room.  The buttons are a shiny silver color so they really stand out. 

The SOUND+SLEEP machine comes with 10 relaxing sound settings including: Train,  City,  Rainfall,  Brook,  Meditation,  White Noise,  Waterfall, Fireplace,  Ocean,  and Meadow.  My personal favorite is the Fireplace,  which reminds me of a crackling camp fire.  I always really enjoy listening to the ocean,  I can just picture the majestically rolling waves,  upon beautiful white sands.  I was surprised by how realistic all of the settings sounded. 

You are able to control the volume,  and richness of the sound.  The SOUND+SLEEP Sleep Therapy System also has a timer, that you can set to turn off in 30 minutes up to an entire 120 minutes(2hours) .  Something that really stood out to me about the SOUND+SLEEP machine is that it when back ground increases,  so does the volume of the sound to help drown out the disturbing noises.  It is perfect for anyone that suffers from sleep disorders,  and even helps with sinusitis.  Matter of fact,  you can also use it to help soothe your baby to sleep. 

The sounds are very tranquil and serene,  which will ease you to sleep allowing you to get the rest that you need.   So why not take your mind on a peaceful journey,  and purchase a SOUND+Sleep Sleep Therapy System! 

BUY IT:  You can purchase a SOUND+SLEEP sleep therapy system for $99.95.
