Love Mode Website/Shirt Review and Gift Card Giveaway AND Lots of Love Giveaway Blog Hop
Here is a link to my full review of Love Mode's Website, please read and enter for your chance to win a gift certificate!
Love Mode Wesite/Shirt Review and Gift Card Giveaway
While shopping online over the holidays for Alana's clothing, I discovered a new site called Love Mode. They have all sorts of cheap juniors clothing. I would almost compare them to a Charlotte Russe (except online). I chose a really cute striped shirt to review and oddly enough when it came Alana wanted it (which made me feel "cool").
Neater Feeder Large Pet Feeder Review and Giveaway
This may sound strange to non pet owners, but they just don't make homes convenient or fitting for pets to live in. Silly, I know right?! But if your like us we have always had several pets at one time. There are a couple issues we've encountered at each place we've lived which is where to fit "their things". This includes the litter box, pet beds, and most importantly the food and water dishes. If your not strategic about this you could end up with a huge mess from food pieces everywhere or wet floor you could slip on.

Skoy Cloth Review and Green Resolutions Giveaway Hop
Product Reviewed By Chantel
Skoy cloth is a European product that is 100% biodegradable, and made from a blend of cotton and wood pulp. It is reusable, and the company claims that one Skoy cloth replaces as many as 15 rolls if paper towel! You can use normal household cleaners with it, but I haven't found the need to do so yet. You can toss it in the dish washer to clean and it is washer/dryer safe. Another very cool feature is that you can sterilize it in the microwave, wet, for a minute or two.
After using the Skoy Cloth for just a few days, my experience has been outstanding. The textured side has plenty enough 'grip' without any sort of worry that it is going to scratch something like my cook top or stainless steel dishwasher. I would compare the actual cloth texture to the 'Shamwow' cloth. The size of the cloth is perfect for my normal girl sized hands & not to small for my husband to use either.
Working in a jewelry store, let me tell you, isn't always the prettiest of places- of course the front showroom is sparkling clean, to ensure the jewels are the highlight .....the back shop on the other hand, Is DISGUSTING! If you have ever wondered how jewelry metal is polished, let me explain: a polishing wheel is attached to a machine that spins the cloth like wheel. You need to use different clay like compounds to actually create a friction to actually polish the metal. That damn dust gets everywhere! Normally I have to use copious amounts of paper towel and heavy duty cleaners to get that layer of nasty off of everything. I took the Skoy Cloth to work this am, and with absolutely nothing else but water, everything was cleaned up. Even my boss was impressed.
I love that so far, I haven't had to use any harsh chemicals like I normally would. Plus my paper towel consumption has gone WAY down this week. Cleaning up the kitchen and bathroom counters has been super easy and not to be too gross, but it gets all the hair off of the bathroom counters! It even (with minimal scrubbing) got a good layer of soap scum off of the tub.
Cost: $6.99 plus shipping 4pk 7x7 cloths
Available to purchase: Skoy Cloth www. skoycloth.com
Recommendation: All in all this is a fantastic product that is crazy inexpensive, considering the 'fancy' paper towel can cost upwards of $18 for a 12 pack. I plan on purchasing more when these have been used to death and even getting some for holiday stocking stuffers and housewarming gifts!

BioBagUSA Kitchen Composting System Review and Green Resolutions Giveaway Hop
I usually don't like to take the food out to the worm unless I have a larger amount. But of course who likes leaving old food on the counter for too long. It can start to smell and even attract fruit flies. And honestly the worms won't eat your food (ie. fruit peels, egg shells, etc.) until it has molded in a bit. So in researching other options I came across the company BiobagUSA. Biobagusa produces different size bags that are biodegradable made from Mater-Bi (which “breathe” allowing heat and moisture to escape or evaporate). Because this material is consumed by micro-organisms in a composting environment they are completely compostable helping everyday waste break down faster and as we know keeping plastic out of our landfills. They also make a plastic containers to keep on your kitchen counter for the leftovers!
I was given a chance to review the composting system AND be a first one to review that has a worm compost. Unfortunately for me I just discovered the compost freezes here in Michigan during the winter. I actually freaked out because I thought my worms would all be dead but thankfully they cocoon themselves up for the low temperatures! I will update everyone in the spring regardless as to if the worms eat these bags up.
As to the bag and container for the kitchen - worked great! I noticed no smells and no flies. I did notice that after about a week and a half the bag started to sweat from all the food which to me meant it was beginning its breaking down process. I was able to pack things together and put in a separate bin outside to compost over the rest of the winter and to use in the spring!
Cost: $6 BioBags, $10 Composting Basket
Available to purchase: Retail stores
Recommendation: I love the bags and am sold on them for good! As for the basket I have moved the bags into a more decorative container that I can keep on my shelf. The cost of both is very reasonable and makes it hard for you to not start composting.

Lil' Diner Baby Diner Dish Holder Review
One of the first things I learned as a parent of a toddler (or even younger) is non breakable and spill proof are necessities. Thankfully Dane wasn't huge on throwing everything on the floor but he still went through the phase of "let me see how many times you will pick that up before getting annoyed". I don't even know where to get started with "destructive Declan"! Nothing stays on a plate and nothing stays on a table/highchair. Plus with Declan for some reason he gets a kick out of dumping his dishes directly on his head...Really?!
I have tried a couple of types of no spill dishes even the ones with a built in suction cup on the plate - none of which have worked. Then I discovered the Lil' Diner and I'm hooked! The Lil' Dinerhas suction cups built on both sides of a saucer - two on the side that attaches to the table and one for the dish side. The suction works so well, I am for the first time actually confident in using a ceramic dish for Declan. Declan has even been pretty angry since he has tried with all his strength to move this dish in anyway and can't.
Whether or not it is new could play a factor but I have already washed this in the dishwasher several times and the suction seems to work just as well as the first time I used it. Also, I know you can always clean with a little rubbing alcohol if you think there maybe a build-up but I am extremely happy with its performance. Now if only I could teach him to stop reaching in and feeding the dogs, we would be all set!
Recommendation: $15 bucks saves me not only tons of plate ware or buying all plastic but saves me time cleaning up as much of a mess? SOLD! This was such a nifty little device that actually works! They also make cup and plate savers as well to check out.

Glee Gum Make Your Own Gummies Kit Review and Giveaway
My choice as to what kit I wanted was very easy - I picked the Make Your Own Gummies Kit. Dane is obsessed with gummies of any kind. In fact the only way we can get him to take his vitamins is if they are the gummy vitamins.
When I received the kit I was a little skeptical about how they might turn out since they are made from real seaweed. I have got to tell you these were very easy step by step directions. Even when I thought maybe I wasn't quite following them perfectly everything seemed to flow into the next step without feeling rushed or confused (as you see I have tons of pics). The hardest part was deciding on shapes for my gummies.
As you can tell we were not so great at making out gummies into a clear shape but I am sure with practice this will come! Towards the end of our experiment I decided I'd pour one big gummy and slice it later. So really everything comes in the kit all you need is some water and your microwave. The best part of these is they don't take much effort or time for the impatient little kids like Dane.
Cost: $13 Make Your Own Gummies Kit
Available to purchase: Glee Gum Store Locator
Recommendation: I totally loved these! I think $13 is totally reasonable for a MYO kit as well. My only complaint is that I wish the kit made more as these were gone faster then it took to make them.Facebook: Glee Gum

William Bounds Sili Gourmet Sili Steamer Basket Review
Thankfully I was asked to review the new Sili Gourmet Sili Steamer Basket from William Bounds, changing my cabinet schematics completely. The Sili Steamer is a silicone made steaming basket that completely collapses flat. So not only does it fit most any place in my kitchen but I could purchase a dozen of these and stack them all together in one place neatly.
The Sili Steamer works great to steam any veggie (fish, meats and grains) in a hurry. Just place it on top of a boiling pot or in the microwave with your vegetables inside and cover with the silicone lid it comes with. I also used my Sili Steamer as a colander which makes it multi functional. Even though there are not hold on the sides of the basket only in the bottom, it still served its purpose to drain my pasta (maybe just not as quickly as a regular one).
Cost: $25 Sili Gourmet Sili Steamer Basket
Available to purchase: William Bounds
Recommendation: I love William Bounds as all their products just seem to be high quality and always have such neat designs. Although I do think they are a little over priced but so are their competitors for what you are paying for.

Yum Yum Dishes Review
I know we've discussed before the importance of setting a great example for our little ones but now a days there are so many things we as parents have to worry about. Well one way we can start is teach them young about portion control. I frequently catch myself eating several helpings of lunch, dinner, or even snacks. Children don't know the difference like we do so we need to help them by making an example and fun to eat smart amounts.
Yum Yum Dishes are not only colorful and fun plate ware, but at the bottom of your bowl or plate it says "Yum Yum time is...over". This has been great for me because it is a helpful little reminder to stop and give myself a break (of course you need to still have self control and actually stop). The mini snacks bowls even has a plastic snap on lid so you can take proper portion snacks on the go.
My only complaint is I am afraid "Destructive Declan", my youngest, could accidentally throw the bowl on the ground and break it. These would be even better if they had a non breakable options such as plastic or stainless steel.
Yum Yum dishes were created by a mom like me and you found herself eating a whole bag of potato chips before she realized it and mom we get so busy and forget to watch are portions are cells not only house to ourselves healthy but he said that example
Recommendation: These are very cute dishes but they are too expensive for my taste. They might be something for me to consider for myself but not for my kids with how easily they could break these.

eShakti Women Custom Clothing Review
![eShakti [e-shuck-tee]
Shakti means power in Sanskrit. eShakti is therefore the power of the Net. eShakti is about empowerment – empowering our customers to get their choice of size, color and style in a given design.](http://www.eshakti.com/images/new/logojune7-09.jpg)
Okay, as much as I love being that go to person for product recommendations - I am not into shopping for clothes. Yes, I think I have style but it is just very different shopping for myself. I have such an awkward figure since I am so busty on top. So if I am being honest there is no way I would ever purchased a dress online especially anything expensive. It just isn't worth it because I am more than likely going to have to return/exchange it at my expense. I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to have stumbled on such a great site such as eShakti.
When I was first contacted by them to complete a review I was very hesitant. Boy am I glad I didn't turn them down. Eshakti is a women's site that understands we are not all created equally. Every woman is made in a different shape and size. Yes someone may fit into a size 8 but we all know that actually can depend on brand and even so, only fit well in the waist not length or width not bust.
If you have ever felt this way or are similar to me where as you don't want to spend the money on clothing to not fit just perfectly, eShakti is for you. I was able to order a custom size dress to fit my bust, length ( I am very short too), and waist all for, in my opinion, a great price. You would think to get this kind of personal design you would have to pay an arm and a leg or be a celebrity. Nope!
"In Sanskrit, Shakti means power and is pronounced e-Shuck-tee, but e-Shack-tee works, too! eShakti empowers you to choose the fit, color, size and style that suits you."
Cost: $84.95
Available to purchase: eShakti
Recommendation: I don't know what else I can say to recommend such an awesome site! Besides the quality, price, and custom fit, their customer service was great and they shipped my custom size dress very quickly!

Kroger Ad Coupon Freebie/Deals 1/16-1/22
- Accepts manufacturer and store coupons
- Store loyalty card allows you access to special promotions throughout the store. You can also earn points for discounts on gas at the Kroger gas stations.
- Coupons can be loaded to your loyalty card through Kroger's website and Cellfire. These are called ecoupons. They work the same as a paper manufacturer coupon (and cannot be combined with another mfr coupon). Once loaded they cannot be removed unless used or when they expire - so load carefully and wisely.
- Catalina's print at the register when you buy specified promotional items. These can vary week to week or month to month. Sometimes these print the store logo on them but can be a store OR manufacturer coupon. Meaning if they are a mfg coupon they can be used anywhere that accepts mfg coupons (even with the original stores logo).
- Kroger doubles coupons showing on their register screen as a 'Bonus coupon'. The Michigan stores (Great Lakes Region) double up to a $0.50. This means if you have a $0.50 off coupon it then becomes a $1.00 off coupon. If you have a .60 off coupon it remains the same.
*If you discover any deals along the way please let me know and I will add them for others!
