ToiletTree ~ Fogless Shower Mirror ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 8/13

Finally a fogless mirror that actually remains clear in the shower – and sticks to the wall!
Our patent-pending design is simple yet most effective. Fill the mirror’s reservoir with hot water from your shower head and you’re done.

It's ideal for close shaves, cleansing and exfoliating, removing make-up, tweezing and more.

No chemicals or special coatings required. Our shower mirror is designed to remain fogless and maintenance-free for a lifetime.

Truly Fogless:
Using an easy fill reservoir, the water neutralizes the mirror and air temperature to eliminate fogging.

Easy Fill Reservoir:
Mirror conveniently detaches so reservoir is easy to fill.

Adheres To Virtually Any Wall Surface:
Soft silicone adheres to many wall surfaces. It is strong, easy to remove, and will not damage tiles or other surfaces!

Adjustable Frame:
Frame pivot allows the mirror to be adjusted, accommodating multiple users and angles.

Convenient Shelf:
Place your razor, sponge or tweezers so they are always accessible.

Squeegee Included:
Self-stored squeegee included to wipe away water drops

Shatter Proof And Rust Proof:
Durable, acrylic mirror will not rust, discolor or damage bathroom tiles

This product is awesome! Especially for the guys in my home who shave. They've been telling me how much it really is useful. They love the shelf so that their razors are always there and of course they love that it's fogless & stays put.

I like to brush my teeth in the shower and ToiletTree ~ Fogless Shower Mirror is nice to have for that. I have always done it without a mirror, but it's just nice.

This really is a quality, useful product. We all like it!

Hello Mellow ~ Body Butter ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 8/10

your skin will happily devour these nutrients while your senses luxuriate in our simply sweet, subtly soothing, UPLIFT blend. this feel-good scent of pink and white grapefruit with a hint of warming vanilla will shift you into your happy place in a single application.

you’ve been running on overdrive all day, rockin’ your world with all the you you’ve got. You sure could use a second wind. not only does our REVITALIZE blend perk you up, it melts away the stress of the day so you can trip your night fantastic and howl the moon bombastic (yeah, we’re not sure what that means, either). geranium and lavender not only keep you going when you’re otherwise tapped out of energy reserves, they free your mind of the day’s clutter, leaving you clear, calm and ready to roll.

AROUSE is a blend of organic cocoa butter, clove, cinnamon and fresh ginger made to arouse your senses and stimulate your soul. Great for soothing sore muscles, increasing circulation and stirring up sensuality.

for a dose of serious pep, reach for REJUVENATE. An immediate rush to the senses, our bright and sparkly blend of lemongrass, lavender and litsea (a delicious Chinese citrus – who knew?), is a super surge of sunshine in a jar. apply upon waking for a powerful burst of energy, and go rock your day like the superstar you are. reapply as needed to keep on rollin’.

ever dreamt of a magic elixir that picks you up when you’re dragging, mellows you out when you’re buzzing, rounds you out any which way you could possibly need? Your wish is our command: BALANCE, a grounding yet brightening blend of bergamot, orange and chamomile, Is like an instant chill pill. When you’re balanced, you’re healing; and when you’re healing, you’re stepping up your well-being; all for a better, brighter, wholer, happier you. Yay!

These ultra moisturizing body butters are amazing. I took them to the beach with me and they really came in so handy. I used them for my lips and even my hair. Helped keep my body moisturized while in and out of the sun would normally have me feeling dry.

The all natural formula is great for anywhere you want to put it - like I said it was nice for lips and hair. It's the only avacado - mango based body butter around - no wonder there's something delightfully unique about Hello Mellow.

ABOUT HELLO MELLOW:

hellomellow is the lovechild of Tracy Feldstein, a (brilliant, gifted, amazing) massage-therapist and healer. She is armed with an uber-extensive arsenal of knowledge, experience and education with bodywork therapies, essential oils, aromatherapy, nutrition, and progressive and alternative healing modalities.

With hours upon years (and years and years and years) spent kneading her clients’ bodies back into never-before-dreamed-of states of relaxation and balance, Tracy became relatively obsessed (in a healthy, balanced way, of course) with concocting the cleanest, most supportive, nourishing all natural lotions, potions, butters and oils to use on her clients. With nary a thought of profit-margins or bottom lines (whatever those are), Tracy started hand-crafting her own line of products made of the finest all natural ingredients, and nothing else – no fillers, no preservatives, nothing but ooey-gooey, yummy, creamy, soft, soothing, sweet-smelling, healing, and moisturizing stuff. When her clients, family, and friends started pestering her for her more, more, more, hellomellow was born.

For over a decade now, Tracy has been blending her own all natural body products for herself, her community and her client base. Now, with hellomellow, she’s making them available to the masses.

Lucky, lucky us.

Of Bees and Mist ~ By Erick Setiawan ~ Book ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ 3 Winners! ~ Ends 8/8

I am still in the process of reading this title, but I don't know what will be happening in life and I want to get it out there. So far it is a captivating, magical book that has been hard to put down. You know, one of those you can't wait to pick up. My normal reading time is in bed and lately I have been so tired, I go to bed and sleep.

I'm catching up on sleep now so maybe tonight I'll get some reading in. I am really enjoying this book. It could very well be among my favorites - it has that feel.

Of Bees and Mist is an engrossing fable that chronicles three generations of women under one family tree and places them in a mythical town where spirits and spells, witchcraft and demons, and prophets and clairvoyance are an everyday reality.

Meridia grows up in a lonely home until she falls in love with Daniel at age sixteen. Soon, they marry, and Meridia can finally escape to live with her charming husband’s family—unaware that they harbor dark mysteries of their own. As Meridia struggles to embrace her life as a young bride, she discovers long-kept secrets about her own past as well as shocking truths about her new family that push her love, courage, and sanity to the brink.

Erick Setiawan’s astonishing debut is a richly atmospheric and tumultuous ride of hope and heartbreak that is altogether touching, truthful, and memorable.

It's a light yet rich read that is as enjoyable for we adults to read as it was for us to read Snow White as a child.

BUY IT:

Buy this title at Simon & Schuster , Amazon , Barnes & Noble , Borders , IndieBound , & Powell's .

Ok. Yeah - now we're talkin. Nice and dark, sweet and creamy, in a tall frosted glass with lots of ice. Today has been so hot that even inside in the air - open the door for a minute and you feel hot. My cousin called it " Hotter than Satan's toenail " - so yeah this tastes good.

I got to try Sweet Love Blend and Jo Jo’s Java . My fav is Sweet Love Blend because I like a dark roast. The darker the better.

Sweet Love Blend
Our dark house. This ambrosian aroma with full bodied, smokey taste.
Roast: Dark. In a word: Uplifting.

Jo Jo’s Java
For my wife, this blend of grace, full of aroma and great taste. You’ll love its smoothness, its never bitter. So relax with a cup, leave the kids with a sitter.
Roast: Medium. In a word: Perfection.

Why drink organic? Coffee is a heavy pesticide crop. So do it for your health. Do it for the environment. Do it for the workers that pick the beans you drink.

Why drink fair trade? Fair trade helps entire villages earn a living wage. That means their families get better educations , better medical treatment, better lives.

It's easy to forget in our daily cup just how important our choices are .

Drink Organic for your health and the health of the environment - free of pesticides that are heavy on the typical commercial brands.

Drink Fair Trade if your concerned with the social implications of your morning ritual. Free Trade insures the fair treatment of the farmers and workers who bring you that cup.

With Jim's Coffee you can get the peace of mind of Organic & Fair Trade. Jim's is also shade grown which is good for the flight patterns of migratory birds. So go beyond taste and into peace of mind.

Jim's Organic Coffee is a feel good - taste good product all the way around. Thank you Jim!

You can buy Jim’s Organic Single Origins, Jim’s Organic Blends and Roasts and Jim’s Organic Swiss Water Process® Decaffeinated Coffees online at http://store.jimsorganiccoffee.com/

Changing Things Up For a Bit

Four Monkeys and a Cat

I am trying to keep things consistent around here - at least one GIVEAWAY a day during the week & off on the weekends.

But with being gone for the week, a day and night in the hospital I have gotten way behind. I have products companies have sent me to review & giveaway that I really need to get taken care of. When the baby arrives there will be a long break.

So breaking from the norm, I'm going to go ahead and work through the weekend and try to pump out as many as I can. Just a temporary change :)

Have fun entering & good luck!

Sport Brella ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 8/5

When I was asked to help promote the Sport Brella, I got really excited. It's the perfect, portable shade spot. I can't tell you how many times I have wished for just the thing, not even knowing the Sport Brella existed. At football games, picnics, the beach. Now that I'll have a bebe, I'll be even more conscious of the sun even when it might not be that hot. I think the Sport Brella and I will become good friends.

I took it on vacation with me, but left my memory card at home and never got a good shot, but let me tell you - I loved it and so did the kids. When we took it to the beach I took a drink cooler that stayed under there with me and so the shade of the Sport Brella became the cool off spot. It was nice.

Also, it was very easy to carry & set up. Just a few stakes and it was set to go.

When I set it up in the yard, the stakes were super easy and it would still be there now if I hadn't taken it down. We even had a random cat come find shade there many times.

It's good stuff. I can think of so many time the Sport Brella would come in so handy.

A beach umbrella, sun tent, rain shelter and more. On the sidelines or at the beach, the Sport-Brella gives you instant portable protection from the sun, rain, and wind with UPF 50+ quick shade protection. It sets up in just three seconds and fits the family or the whole team. Opens to 8' wide for plenty of sun shade.

•Quick shade protection from sun, wind and rain
•Easiest setup sun shelter available thanks to folding umbrella action
•Travel size = 54" x 4" x 4", weight = 9lbs., allowed as carry-on by most airlines
•Rugged umbrella structure with side flaps for full cover protection
•Top wind vents and side zippered windows for efficient airflow
•Maximum sun protection UPF 50+ and water repellent
•Protects over 99.5% of UVA and UVB rays
•Internal pockets for stakes, valuables and gear
•Includes convenient carry bag plus tethers and ground stakes for extra stability.

I LOVE the Sport Brella from . Stay cool, stay dry, stay protected.

BUY IT:

You can purchase the Sport Brella in three colors or the Sport Brella XL for a little more coverage online at http://sport-brella.com/ but I am seeing the Sport Brella pop up everywhere!

WIN IT!!!

One LUCKY winner will receive a Sport Brella of their very own!

Gourmet Body Treats ~ $50 Gift Certificate ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 8/4

Gourmet Body Treats is a small family owned business that began for very personal reasons. Waleska, the creator of all our formulas had severe rosacea and hyper sensitive skin that was not helped by numerous trips to the Dermatologist. She began her personal quest to find products that would help her irritated blemished skin, but when she was unable to find any she started making her own. She started in her kitchen with an idea for soap. Soon family and friends began asking to buy her soap for themselves and their children. A decade later Gourmet Body Treats continues to hand make all products from start to finish in hopes of helping others feel better about themselves while helping preserve the planet.

These natural products are truly a treat. As you can see above, my nieces and I are all decked out in our natural chocolate facial mask. The smell was so wonderful I worried little tongues might want to taste. So I checked the ingredients and that was fine - everything contained in the mask was safe to eat. I love that. And I was right the girls did get a taste!

Our skin was nice and fresh afterwards and although the girls' skin is always bright and glowing, it left my skin exactly that and feeling taut. I really enjoyed the treatment and I really think the scent while it was drying was a mood lifter as well!

I also got to try the Gourmet Lip Gloss and Loose Mineral Eye Shadow. I LOVE the lip gloss. I'm picky about my lip gloss - it has to feel right and this was perfect with a nice natural color. I don't wear much eye shadow either, yet a light dusting of this mineral shadow perfectly offset my eyes.

The best part about Gourmet Body Treats products is that their products are health and environmentally conscious.

Vegan
All of our products are 100% vegan and manufactured on site fresh daily from our hands to yours. We never use any ingredients that contain or sourced from animals or insects such as honey, lanolin, carmine, ect.

100% Natural
We constantly strive to produce high quality products that are ethically made and 100% natural. We source all of our ingredients from locally farmed and organic sources when ever possible. We spare no expense when deciding what ingredients to use for all of our products. All ingredients are tested for purity, we make sure nothing like pesticides or fragrances are in the raw ingredients we use.

Recyclable Containers
In an effort to protect our environment we package our products in glass or recyclable plastic containers whenever possible and constantly try to find better more eco friendly containers.

Cruelty Free
We NEVER test our products on animals and insure that all of our raw ingredients have never been tested on animals either. We test our wonderful products on family and friends.

Products you can feel good about spending your money on and using on your skin. My favorite kind!

Thomas & Friends ~ Creaky Cranky ~ DVD ~ GIVEAWAY ~ ENDS 7/31

Fizzling fireboxes! Steam along with four all-new adventures with preschool favorite Thomas & Friends™ when Thomas & Friends: Creaky Cranky arrives on DVD July 13, 2010 from Lionsgate and HIT Entertainment. These all-new, never-before-seen on TV episodes in full CG animation feature Thomas challenging Cranky the Crane to see who can lift the heaviest loads. Thomas takes charge of the Sodor Steam Works and fulfills his dream of delivering the mail. Get your pink on with James’ new paint job and then try sing-along Karaoke fun with the bonus “Sound Song” Karaoke Music Video! Children will enjoy host Driver Perkins, who can ONLY be seen on DVD, and engages children with interactive dialogue and extra fun!

Teaching timeless life lessons such as discovery, friendship and cooperation, the Thomas & Friends animated series invites children to enter a world of imagination through the tracks of a train and the words of a story.

Thomas and his friends deliver cargo-loads of fun in this collection of uplifting episodes! Ride along as Thomas helps to deliver mail, mend engines, and prepare for the Spring Party on the Island of Sodor. Watch as Thomas learns that it pays to listen to advice, there’s more to a train than its undercoat, and that sometimes it takes a team of friends to reach your true destination.

Episodes include:
· “Creaky Cranky”
· “Tickled Pink”
· “Steamy Sodor”
· “Early Bird”

Thomas is one of our favorites and this was great for me and ju to watch together. Thomas doubted Cranky's ability to lift heavy freight and called him creaky Cranky. But Thomas was proven wrong when Cranky lifted heavy barrels & logs. Always great lessons learned in a non preachy kind of way :)

Pregnant and postponed

My labor has started - I spent Monday night and most of Tuesday in the hospital. My contractions were 2 minutes apart lasting 2-3 minutes, so I thought it was time to go. I labored good and strong all night until Tuesday morning the contractions stopped. Yes - dead in their tracks. So I'm back home

Most doctors would have induced and or performed a c-section. It is very important to me to allow nature to take it's course. I have found the perfect doctor for me - he is allowing me to do exactly that and leaves most everything to us to decide. I feel blessed to have found him.

The baby is healthy and everything looks good - just waiting - any time now :)))

I'm backed up on drawing winners - I haven't drawn any that ended on the 17th. Nor have I listed any giveaways. I just wanted to let everyone know. I have a busy day today, but will try to get caught up this evening. Soon I promise. Bear with me :)))

Vera Bradley ~ Baby Bag ~ GIVEAWAY!!! ~ Ends 7/31

Vera Bradley has been a dear friend of mine for awhile. Originating here in Indiana, we all love Vera here.

When discussing a baby shower even with a bloggie friend, it got me thinking about typical baby items or gifts. Of course a diaper or baby bag is a biggie. I looked at many boutiques and shops that specialize in baby bags. Don't get me wrong -I saw many cute, wonderful bags, but many looked so - diaper bag-ish.

It then dawned on me that Vera Bradley - my favorite bags of all time, carried baby bags. I knew I had to feature a Vera Baby Bag.

I received the baby bag in "Make Me Blush" - it's gorgeous! It's the perfect size - not too big, not too small - plenty of pockets for storage and lined in a PUL water resistant fabric. It also comes with a matching changing pad that fits nicely inside.

The latest Baby Bag has a total of 11 pockets inside and out, including a full zippered back, and holds everything from diapers to extra clothes. They've added a special clip for disappearing pacifiers and lined the interior for easy cleaning. Also includes a 26" x 14" terry-covered changing pad with coordinating trim.

The perfect baby bag for the stylish, practical Mom. I love this bag :)

BUY IT:

You can purchase the Vera Bradley Baby Bag in all their wonderful colors along with the rest of their amazing selection of bags at http://www.verabradley.com/
