The Pretty Peacock Family Cluster Birthstone Pendant Review and Giveaway

Pretty Peacock Logo
     You now I'm not usually a big jewelry person but that doesn't mean I don't like to shop for it.  I mean, really how many girls do you know that don't like jewelry.  I just consider myself to be a little bit more on the low maintenance side.  Since I very rarely dress up, there is no need to change my jewelry all the time.  Every once in awhile though, I come across a piece of jewelry or designer that catches my eye which is how I discovered The Pretty Peacock.  A friend of mine and fellow blogger was wearing one of the family necklaces that I just fell in love with.

Roast My Weenie Cthulhu Review (slight adult content)

     Okay so by now you should know we are big entertainers and quite the partyers in my household.  We love preparing all sorts of food and drinks for people in our home to enjoy.  Part of it is that I love to clean, set up and get ready for anything (although my husband thinks I'm a nut because of it).  Anyway, just about every holiday we have a get together of some sort whether it adults only or a family friendly party.  The exciting part about throwing all of these parties is finding new gadgets and recipes to introduce all of my friends and family to.

Dorfman Pacific SCALA COLLEZIONE Collection Sun Hat Review

Hats & Accessories from the World's Finest Designers - image

With summer already here, I was recently asked by Dorfman Pacific to review the SCALA COLLEZIONE collections newest sun hat - the Sewn Ribbon Crusher.  Not only does my mother wear these all summer long, but I have also been looking at purchasing my first one as well.  They just seem so fun and flashy to wear around the pool or at the beach.  I even wanted it to wear while working in my garden.

I honestly haven't a clue as to what exactly I can say to all of you about a hat.  I mean really it's a hat.  What do you say - you either love it or hate it.  It's just that - A Hat.

Zipit Bedding Review


“JUST ZIPIT!”

     When we moved two years ago from our large 3 level home to a much smaller single level home, we ran into several obstacles - one big one being space as I so obviously just mentioned.  My teenage daughter is very fortunate when it comes to physical possessions, however because her room size was cut in half during the move she was forced to get creative in the storage of all her things.  We decided when we moved to build her a loft bed.  We hoped this would help open up her room a bit more but it has really hindered her bed making skills (as if they weren't bad enough, haha).

      I recently came across Zipit Bedding which is actually geared towards teaching little ones how to make their beds and making it a much easier transition on them.  The great thing about this bedding though is the way we were able to use it universally between our children and especially for our picky teenager.  The fitted sheet slides over the mattress just like a normal one.  The difference is the comforter itself zips to the fitted sheet making it easier for little ones (or in our case hard to reach
beds).  It even has a cute little zip pocket near the top which was perfect for Alana to keep her cell phone since the average nightstand doesn't even come close to the height of her bed. 

     Zipit Bedding comes in twin and full sizes and two colors - pink or blue.  Unfortunately, Alana wasn't thrilled with the pattern even though i thought it was cute.  I might have even been better off even going with the blue pattern even with the boy pattern it matched her room a bit better.

Cost:  $59.99 Twin or $69.99 Full 
Available to purchase:  Zipit Bedding
Discount Code: For a limited time, my readers can get Zipit Bedding at a special DISCOUNT PRICE of only $39.99! That's $20 off the already discounted web price. For only $39.99, you can experience this great new product. Don't miss this opportunity! Click HERE to order and use this code at checkout to receive your discount: LUCKY10
Recommendation:  This is a fantastic idea at either price but especially at the discounted one of course.  My only complaint is that I'd like to see more patterns.  This would even make a great gift for the college bound heading to the dorm rooms!

Kushyfoot Open Toe Flats To Go Review

Kushyfoot, Massages your feet with every step

     I am not the type of girl to wear a lot of flat footed shoes so I had never thought of checking out slip on shoes.  Then, as I began preparing for my sisters wedding last fall and I realized the shoes I had picked out had a a good four inch heel.   Now in the past that would have never been an issue but two kids later and I wear flip flops everyday.  There is no way I was going to make it all night in those especially carrying around any kids.  So when my mother suggested a slip on for later in the
evening I began my search and discovered Kushyfoot.

Patrick Haller Tattoo Artist at Eternal Ink Tattoos in Eastpointe MI Review



     As always, I love going places others wont as far as discussions or debating.  In saying that this may not be one of those reviews you really want to read if you feel strongly against the topic of body art.

FunBites Cube it! Review and Giveaway

     Both of my boys are chubbies (and I love every bit of it!)  They have both been in the 90 percentile and above for sizes.  Their eating styles have reflected this from very young, both starting on baby food before six months and regular foods by six or seven months old (of course because it was recommended by my pediatrician).  However, today Dane has become a very picky eater (Declan still eats everything you put in front of him).  There is very little of a variety that he eats, his portion sizes are minimal, and he refuses to try most anything new.  When I first heard of FunBites, I thought this was a great idea and had to give them a try!

CorsetChick.com Review and Giveaway (adult content)


     After being married for a short six years, Kevin and I still enjoy our date nights (or honestly even the few rare occasions we get to sleep in the bed alone) .  We are fortunate to have close family to watch the kids BUT we do have a teenager in home who isn't exactly naive to the things that happen.  I have always loved lingerie and more specifically - corsets.  I don't even care if I'm alone, trying a set on that fits can give me all the confidence in the world.  Regardless nothing is more romantic than a night alone with your significant other when you feel that confidence of a sexy outfit.

3D Light FX Baseball Light Review and Giveaway



So we are usually willing to try anything to get either of the boys interested in their room. My mistake of co-sleeping has become more trouble than it is worth since I now have two boys in MY bed. Dane really needs to get used to his own room since he is four! Recently, I was given the opportunity to review a 3d Light from 3D Light FX.

Natural House Probiotic Surfy Cleaner Review (updated)


Always on the lookout for green friendly products, I recently came across a new company called
Natural House. Right away I was interested in learning more because of their creative names for all of their products - Flushy, Trashy, Sinky and the newest addition - Surfy (how cute!!) I definitely had to give these a try! Natural House probiotic cleaning products use non-toxic, probiotic cleaning agents and are strong enough for commercial clean-up but still safe for your little ones.  This last review I was given a bottle of the newest edition Surfy.

Surfy breaks down grease and grime on multiple surfaces.  This can be used in the kitchen and bathroom or just about anywhere.  I used mine on the countertops in both the kitchen and the bathroom, the sinks and toilets.  This worked great because everything wipes clean without having to scrub it at all.  You can also use Surfy on various other surfaces such as appliances, glass, stainless steel, and tubs.  It had a great botanical scent after as well.
