Posted on 17:49 by Unknown
Pin It



Crazy Dog T-shirts offers good quality, affordable, and hilarious t-shirts. Product selection includes witty, and sometimes even taboo, tees representing American pop culture. There are shirts for everybody including handover t-shirts, 80's t-shirts, novelty tees, and more. They have hundreds of funny shirts that you don't want to miss. Shopping on the site and reading through all the t-shirt sayings and graphics is almost as fun as actually wearing one.

Although over 80% of the designs they sell are created and printed in house, they do also offer selections from partners such as Junk Food Clothing, Ripple Junction, David & Goliath, and Goodie Two Sleeves. These partnerships together with their exclusive designs allow Crazy Dog T-shirts to offer customers the best selection at the best prices...they guarantee it! Crazy Dog T-shirts also functions as a full service screenprinting shop offering low prices on custom apparel for personal and business orders.

Crazy Dog T-shirts Review: My husband loves sarcastic shirts so I got him "Sorry I Called You an Idiot, I Thought You Already Knew". He loved the saying and I was pleased that it was not as inappropriate as some of his shirts.  The shirt is in two shades of blue but the light blue lettering shows up nicely against the navy shirt. The cotton is soft and it kept its shape and color quite nicely after washing. It did not shrink significantly after wash which is always a bonus. The shirt was true to size and he reports that it is comfortable.  I was very impressed with the variety of shirt offerings through Crazy Dog T-shirts. If you or someone you love likes to wear t-shirts, then I would definitely recommend checking them out. Since most of their shirts are $20 and under, you can't go wrong! 

I also had the opportunity to review shirts from some of their sister sites so come back over the next couple of weeks to read reviews from Nachomamatees.com, Zombierescuestation.com, and Saintpatricksdayshirts.com!

Simply Snackin Review

Simply Snackin Varieties
Sponsored post*
Simply Snackin is a natural line of gourmet meat snacks with absolutely no artificial ingredients. Made with only the finest ingredients, Simply Snackin is perfect for the healthy-minded, on-the-go snack lover looking for a nutritious low calorie option that offers lean protein without any artificial flavorings, colorings, chemicals, nitrates or fillers.

Simply SnackinThe snacks combine lean sirloin or whole chicken breasts with dried fruits such as apples, cranberries, blueberries, and pineapples or black beans and vegetables like jalapenos and shallots. Once their all-natural seasonings are added, the unique blends are slow roasted at a low temperature over a long period of time to create unique flavor fusions that nourish the body. Did I mention they are only 60 calories a piece!! Plus, they are MSG free and lactose free.

I actually do not like beef jerky so I assumed I would be handing these off to my husband and son to review but there was something about the descriptions that really intrigued me. I can say that, overall, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed these. They were easily as filling as any other snack I would buy, but less calories!  The jerkys are fairly chewy and each one has its own distinct flavor.

Varieties:
Teriyaki Dried Beef Sirloin with Pineapples: Marinated in a balanced teriyaki sauce of garlic, ginger, and soy lean natural beef sirloin has a tangy, yet smooth flavor complimented with the sweetness of pineapple.
      Review: I thought my husband may enjoy this one, but he was not a fan of the added sweetness. He likes his jerky pure, but I found this one to be quite delicious.  The sweetness of the pineapple help cut down the tanginess of the beef . 

Dried Beef Sirloin with Apples and Cherries
     Review: Wow. Seriously, this was delicious. I loved the combination of the beef with the fruit. I am not a huge fan of beef, but this was very tasty. The tangy flavor was there but the apples and cherries blended nicely.

Dried Beef Sirloin with Cranberries & Blueberries: Made with lean, natural beef sirloin and added cranberries and blueberries.
     Review: This was my favorite of all. It contained whole berries and was extremely flavorful. I was surprised that one of the beef varieties ended up being a favorite but it really was. I would definitely buy these again!

Teriyaki Dried Chicken Breast with Mangoes and Papayas: Golden brown, lean, natural roasted chicken breast meat flecked with rich spices and colorful mango and papaya chunks.
      Review: This variety was very tasty. It had a little kick but the fruits helped neutralize it a bit. I actually really enjoyed it and would eat it again.

Dried Chicken Breast with Black Bean Salsa: A bold blend of chicken breast meat, spicy peppers, black beans, and tomatoes with a hint of smoky, slow-roasted flavor.
Review: Spice is just not my thing so I gave this one to my husband. He said he liked the flavor, but prefers the flavor of classic beef jerky. He said there was a kick to it and there was definitely a lot of flavor.

Dried Chicken Breast with Italian Style Seasoning and Romano Cheese: A combination of Italian seasoned chicken breast met, roasted red peppers, shallots, and Romano cheese.
        Review:  This variety reminded me of the flavor in antipasto. It had one of the most distinct flavors of all the varieties, but was not overly spicy or zesty.

Granite Gold Review and Giveaway

Posted on 17:47 by Unknown
Pin It


Granite Gold Review
Sponsored post*
I don't know about you, but I tend to have more gatherings at my home over the summer months. While I enjoy celebrations and guests, I don't enjoy cleaning before and after guests arrive. I am always looking for products that will make my house look great with minimal effort on my part. Granite Gold is a top-selling, US natural stone care product line. Granite Gold offers stone-care products that will not only help keep yards and patios clean, but will also keep all natural-stone surfaces in and outside the home well-maintained and ready for company.

The company wants to not only provide the best stone-care products, but they are also dedicated to help home owners properly care for and maintain their stone surfaces (which are quite expensive to repair and replace).  For instance, Granite Gold offers the following three easy, essential steps to caring for your natural stone:
  1. Clean often. Even if your surface appears clean, the safest bet is to clean daily and after every meal preparation. The most minuscule particle could have detrimental effect on your natural stone. Avoid common cleaners and abrasives. They will break down the protective seal.
  2. Seal frequently. You can't over-seal natural stone surfaces. Frequent sealing maintains maximum surface protection, penetrating stone surfaces to provide superior, long-lasting resistance to staining, etching and soil build-up.
  3. Polish regularly. Polishing stone will bring out the stone's natural beauty and will reinforce the protective seal and provide ongoing protection against water spots and fingerprints.
Granite Gold Products: The following products are biodegradable, non-toxic, non-acidic, pH balanced, and safe on food-preparation surfaces. 

Granite Gold Daily Cleaner - A streak-free formula that safely cleans granite, marble, and other natural stone surfaces and Quartz surface. It removes all types of spills and spoils and leaves behind a fresh citrus scent. 

Granite Gold Polish - Enhances shine and luster to granite, marble, and all other natural-stone and quartz surfaces. It reinforces the protective seal on stone surfaces.  Regular use after cleaning will bring out the stone's natural beauty and provide ongoing protection against water spots, soap scum, and fingerprints. Polishing shower walls and tub surrounds will help prevent soap scum build-up.

Granite Gold Sealer - Creates a barrier to protect all natural stone. The water-based formula maintains maximum surface protection against staining, etching, and soil build-up. 

Granite Gold Grout Cleaner - Quickly and safely clean soiled grout. It is safe on all stones, porcelain, ceramic, glass, and colored grout. 

Granite Gold Review:  I fell in love with my living room furniture in the showroom a year and a half ago. It has stone accents on all of the pieces: coffee table, end tables, and entertainment center. Of course, furniture always looks great until you start using it and then it loses its luster.  Although the stone is rough, it does show dirt easily and since my kids eat at the living room coffee table, it is almost always splattered in some kind of beverage or sauce.  The Granite Gold Daily Cleaner, Sealer, and Polish worked great. The products were easy to use, had a minimal scent, and left my furniture looking as great as is did when we bought it!  I am hoping the Sealer will help keep permanent stains and water marks from developing - at least until I get this furniture paid off! I did not notice a big different between before and post-polish (keeping in mind this is a flat stone as opposed to shiny) but the overall look was great. 


After using Granite Gold

Granite Gold Grout CleanerThe Granite Gold Grout Cleaner worked great as well.  A brush is included and it it made cleaning the bathroom tile floor - one of my most hated chores, a little easier. It has a citrus scent and did a great job of cleaning the floor and there were no adverse reactions to using it on colored grout.  The brush is quite stiff and I was worried about it scratching the tile but there was not a mark on it when it was done. 

 I have been very pleased with the Granite Gold collection. If you have money invested into your home, then you need to make sure to take care of it so it lasts! These are great products to help you achieve this goal.

PB Crave Peanut Butter Back to School Giveaway

Posted on 16:34 by Unknown

PB Crave
Sponsored post*

I have started to stock up on school supplies and the next thing I will be stocking is my pantry. The kids will be back to school in no time which means I will be packing lunches again. They quickly tire of the same old sandwiches so I was really excited to learn about PB Crave. They offer four natural peanut butter blends - each mixing some popular flavors with premium natural peanut butter. Sounds good? Once I tell you their names, you may just drool: Razzle Dazzle, Cookie Nookie, CoCo Banana, and Choco Choco!

The peanut butter is artisan-crafted using high-quality ingredients and proven practices. Since healthy eating has been on my mind more and more lately, I was happy to read the following about PB Crave:
- No hydrogentaed oil
- No artificial flavors
- No syrups
- No high fructose corn syrup
- Gluten free
- Cholesterol free
- USDA- approved manufacturing
- Kosher certified



Find out more: You can check out Celebrity Chef Andrew Zimmern's OpenSky Page and video review on PB Crave.

PB Crave Review: I was so excited to have the opportunity to review these peanut butters!  They were mailed to me so they were no longer chunky as the added ingredients had melted, but I have always liked creamy peanut butter so I did not mind! 

The Choco Choco Peanut Butter also contains wild honey and sweet & dark chocolate. It is sweet peanut butter but the bitterness of the dark chocolate helps it from being too sweet and the honey and sweet chocolate help it from being bitter. It is a great combination and would taste amazing on a sandwich or with celery. My favorite, however, was pairing it with honey graham crackers. Mmmm! 

The Coco Bananas Peanut Butter has wild honey, chocolate, and natural banana flavor. The banana flavor is very evident and makes for a really nice change from plain old peanut butter. My kids like to eat bananas with their sandwiches so this is a natural flavor combination choice for us. 

Cookie Nookie is another great variety.  Along with peanut butter, there is wild honey, chocolate chips and cookie dough flavor. My immediate thought was that this is going to be my new favorite ice cream topping! Since the texture of the PB Crave peanut butters is creamier than regular peanut butters, you can actually drizzle them on top of foods. As soon as I pick up some ice cream, this will be the first thing I reach for! It has a nice sweet taste and truly does taste like cookie dough! 

The Razzle Dazzle Peanut Butter contains honey, dark chocolate, white cocoa butter drops, and natural raspberry flavor. When I tried this variety I thought I had died and gone to Heaven. It was out of this world! I decided to try to use this one in a dessert. I baked up some boxed brownies and added some Razzle Dazzle Peanut Butter to the top of the batter before putting them into the oven.  The outcome - some seriously amazing brownies!!  I did not tell my family I was adding the Razzle Dazzle to the brownies because I was curious if they would notice and boy did they.  I don't think I have seen a smile so big on my husband's face since our children were born! Seriously, this was one of the easiest ways ever to dress up a boxed brownie mix and I can't wait to try it with the other varieties! 

Razzle Dazzle Brownies

Follicleanse Shampoo Review

Posted on 16:06 by Unknown

Follicleanse shampoo
Sponsored post*

Most women know that taking care of your hair is an important part of their daily routine. However, your scalp may be neglected! Follicleanse® shampoo, from Healthy Hair Plus, was formulated to deeply clean the scalp and eliminate source of itchiness, dandruff, and flaking problems. Ingredients include Zinc PCA which helps get rid of dandruff and the shampoo also helps balance oil production. It is rich in botanical extracts as well which help heal and repair inflammation and irritation and reduce oil production.
  • Deep cleans dirt, oil and product build-up
  • Reduces oil production from sebaceous glands
  • Infuses vitamins and botanicals to heal and revitalize
  • Increase blood flow to the scalp
  • Helps stop DHT accumulation
  • Paraben Free, Best Anti-Dandruff Shampoo
Follicleanse shampoo  gently cleanses the root of the hair. Sebum and cholesterol can combine to become very hard in the hair follicle. As this plug stays in the follicle it breed bacteria and prevents oxygen from reaching the root of the hair as well as the blood supply that bring vital nutrients. This often results in flaky, itchy scalp or scalp psoriasis, and dandruff. Paraben Free!
Shiny, healthy hair after Follicleanse! 

Follicleanse Review: I am prone to flakes and my scalp is often dry and itchy so I was looking forward to seeing if Follicleanse would provide me some relief. Not only does my scalp feel great after using Follicleanse for the past couple of weeks, my hair looks amazing as well!  There is a very mild, pleasing, and gender-neutral scent to the shampoo. It produces a nice lather and washes easily from the hair. After just one use my hair was very soft and shiny.  My hair is on the oilier side and since the formula was for oily to normal hair, it did a great job of cleansing without adding unnecessary oils to my hair. My hair was manageable after use as well - no frizzing. I was pleased with every aspect of this shampoo and am hoping it will further help my hair and scalp as we move closer to cooler weather when my scalp really dries out.


Buy it here:  You can purchase Follicleanse Shampoo from Healthy Hair Plus for $11.99. Plus, you can save 15% if you register on their site.

EnvyDerm Lip Plumper Gloss Review

Posted on 17:13 by Unknown


Envyderm
Sponsored post*
With lip-plumping properties that help restore youthful fullness, Envyderm Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper is a lip gloss that can help you achieve some seriously gorgeous lips.  It is produced in a variety of colors and is made to last without stickiness. It is fortified with over 15 organic moisturizing oils including Aragan and Jojoba oil, vitamins, super fruit berries and powerful extracts to soothe, soften, condition, and prevent dryness. Peptides and tripeptides treat your lips and boost microcirculation to include the collagen level, thus enhancing your lips contour and volume instantly as well within 28 days. The 10 colors can be used alone or applied over lipstick for added gloss and depth of color.


Review: I was given an opportunity to review Envyderm Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper in the Jolie shade. The color is described perfectly as a "peachy pink" and I thought this would be a perfect, soft summer shade. The Plumper comes in a lip gloss tube and is applied with an applicator just like lip gloss. The color goes on evenly and has a very smooth, not sticky, feel. I am very fair skinned so I need colors that won't wash out my face and this was absolutely perfect and looked great no matter what I was wearing! 

After a few seconds after application, I began to feel the a tingling and cooling sensation. So, did the plumper actually make my lips look bigger? Well, I did not turn into Angelina Jolie (curses!); however, I definitely noticed that my lips looked fuller! Here are my before and after shots:


Before applying Envyderm
Immediately after Envyderm application
5 minutes after Envyderm application
The color lasted longer than a typical lip gloss but it does come off on cups, food, etc. so you would need to plan on keeping your Envyderm on hand. This is definitely a great product if you are looking for a great gloss that makes your lips look better than color alone. Plus, it is a heck of a lot cheaper and safer than cosmetic surgery! Plus, since it is available in a variety of shades there is probably the right color out there and it is definitely worth a try.

Buy it here: You can purchase Envyderm plumping lip gloss from the Envyderm website for $28.

I'm a Boys & Girls Clubs of America Back to School Ambassador!

Posted on 18:14 by Unknown

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Boys & Girls Clubs of America. I received a promotional item as a thank you for participating.




The summer in between my two years of getting my Master's degree in Psychology I decided that I wanted to see whether or not working with children was for me or not and I got a summer job at the local Boys and Girls Club of America (BGCA). While I did find out that I would be much better suited working with adults, I did learn a lot about the BGCA's fantastic mission. There were tons of kids who attended the summer programming. There were children from all classes and all neighborhoods. For some, sadly, the BGCA summer program was their only source  of positive socialization and the only place they could go to stay free from their neighborhood drugs and crime. Ever since working there I have been very fond of the organization and appreciate everything they do to make sure that kids can be kids as long as possible! 


BGCA has partnered with jcpenney for the "jcpenney cares round up campaign". Participation is easy and painless. When you shop at jcpenney this summer you can opt to round up your total to the nearest dollar and the extra money will go toward supporting after school programs at Boys and Girls Clubs of America across the country. For example, lets say you do some back to school shopping and your total comes to $45.75. You can round your total up to $46 and 100% of the extra $0.25 will go to the jcpenney cares round up campaign. You don't have to worry about loose change or balancing an uneven amount in your checkbook and the BGCA benefits - everyone wins! This is such an easy way to give back to the community and I know I will be "rounding up" at my next shopping trip to jcpenney and I encourage you to do the same.

Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Review & Giveaway

Posted on 17:32 by Unknown
Pin It



Honey Bunches of Oats, one of our favorite lines of cereals, now offers a line of Greek cereal products! Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Honey cereal combines wholesome goodness as it is made with whole grains and two unique granolas with real Greek yogurt in every bite! Honey Bunches of Oats Greek Mixed Berry unites the sweet taste of strawberry, raspberry, and blueberry flavors with the slightly tangy taste of Greek yogurt.

Nutritional Information:
  • 33g of Whole Grain per serving - over 2/3 of your day's whole grain
  • Serving size: 1 cup
  • 230 calories
  • Heart Healthy: (0g trans fat, 1 g saturated fat, 0mg cholesterol per serving)
  • Provides 12 essential vitamins and minerals
  • 5g of protein per serving
Review: I really love the combination of flakes and clusters from the original Honey Bunches of Oats cereals so I was really looking forward to the added sweet and tangy flavors. The Greek Honey variety was a sweeter version of the classic and the Greek Mixed Berry gave it more fruity flavor. Since the cereals were mailed to me, the flakes and clusters were broken down into smaller bits than I have had in the classic version, but it was still extremely tasty. I do wish there was more of the Greek Yogurt bits in the cereal, though. The difference in taste between these varieties and classic Honey Bunches of Oats is very slight and I would have liked a more pronounced flavor difference. Regardless, I have really enjoyed both of these varieties and would certainly buy them again.

Buy it here: You can purchase Honey Bunches of Oats at your local grocer. Check out the their Facebook page for a $1 off coupon!

Orbit for Kids and How to Get Kids to Brush Properly

Posted on 17:09 by Unknown
Pin It

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Orbit for Kids. I received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

Orbit for Kids

My kids, especially my daughter, love to chew gum. However, I have not traditionally let them chew gum too often because I am worried that the sugars will rot their teeth and sugar-free gums aren't always appealing in flavor. On top of that, my kids do not always do a good job brushing their teeth. So, I am even more apprehensive about letting them chew sugary gum.  I have tried many tricks over the years to get my kids to brush well and here are my experiences:
  • Trusting they are brushing: It took me awhile to realize that sometime when they go in the bathroom to brush their teeth and I envision them brushing exactly as they are told, they are really playing around in the water while holding a toothbrush without any toothpaste in their mouth without actually brushing. Ok, the "trust" method did not really work.
  • Doing the parent check: I tried asking my kids to come out after brushing so my husband or I could "check" to see if their teeth were clean and their breath was fresh. While this worked better than the "trust" method, I found that as time went on they spend less and less time brushing. What used to be the full 2-minutes of recommended brushing would turn into a 20 second brushing - followed by kids pouting back into the bathroom to finish brushing. I could totally do without the attitude so I needed to find a new method!
  • Using musical toothbrushes/timers: Apparently 2 minutes feels a lot different to a child so I decided that they needed something to help them monitor the amount of time spent brushing. This method worked much better. They stayed in the bathroom the full 2 minutes. However, I realized that my daughter spent more time shaking her tushy to the Justin Beiber toothbrush than actually brushing.
  • Brushing with children: We have a small bathroom, but I decided that the only way to make this work was to go to the bathroom with them and not only watch them, but also brush with them. This not only gives me the opportunity to monitor their brushing techniques, but it is also a great way to model proper oral hygiene  Finally, a method that works!!

Orbit has a line of gum just for kids that addresses this concern and also helps promote healthy oral hygiene   Thank goodness for Orbit for Kids! Although we have the tooth brushing routine down, my kids still need to have ways to maintain good oral health during the day.  It is available in Original Bubble Gum and Strawberry Banana and it has the ADA Seal of Approval. The benefits of chewing sugar free gum, such as Orbit for Kids, in between meals include cleaning the mouth of food debris and stimulating saliva flow which helps protect teeth by removing plaque and strengthening teeth. 

Not only are there benefits to having children chew Orbit for Kids, it is also extremely tasty and fun. I am personally a gum chewer because I find the taste leaves the gum very quickly and I cannot stand to chew flavorless gum. We received some Strawberry Banana samples and they were so delicious. Even I liked it! The taste was perfectly sweet and natural tasting. Plus, I thought the flavor lasted a nice amount of time so I was not so quick to spit it out.  My daughter not only loved chewing it, she also loved blowing bubbles. She hijacked my iPad and left me these adorable pictures last week:

Bella's "biggest" bubble yet!

Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets Review and Giveaway!

Posted on 16:33 by Unknown

Purex fabric softener
Sponsored post*


I have been using Purex laundry detergent for years. It is effective, smells great, and is much more affordable than other brands. So, I was happy to hear that they offer a line of fabric softener sheets! Purex fabric softener dryer sheets are available in Mountain Breeze and Soft Lavender scents and also reduce static cling and repel pet hair and lint. Since they smell so fresh, they also have other household uses. You can place them in your hamper, linen closet, drawers, and even shoes to keep your entire house smelling fresh!

Review: I was given a sample of the Mountain Breeze scent to review. The scent is very strong. In fact, I could smell them through the packaging and post office box they arrived in. When I get products for review, I typically store them in one of my back rooms until I am ready to review them and when my husband came home he started looking around because he thought I bought a new candle and was burning it somewhere. When I showed him what he was smelling he commented on how much he loved the scent. I enjoy it too; however, it is strong and I have pretty bad allergies. I had to move the box to my laundry room the next day because the strong scent kept making me sneeze!

The effect of the fragrance on the clothing was much more subtle. The clothes came out of the dryer smelling very fresh and the scent was not overpowering at all (and luckily my clothes did not make me continually sneeze!). The sheets did a great job at reducing static cling. I have been using eco-friendly dryer balls which do a great job with softening clothes but do not take care of static at all. The Purex Fabric Softener Sheets, on the other hand, handled the cling, made my clothes smell great, and they were really soft. What more could you ask for in a dryer sheet?!

But Purex Fabric Softener Dryer Sheets: You can find these at Walmart and they will be coming soon to other retailers.
