InvisiBELT- Review & Giveaway

I love belts. Problem is, when most of us wear a belt, we get that huge and bulky belt line when fitted shirts cover it. NOT cool. 

Invisibelt has created a new way to look at belts- and with no bulky belt bulges! 

What exactly is the Invisibelt?

A plastic belt that is either clear or colored.

Gives the support of a belt, without the bulk.

Because of the anti-bulk look, creates a slimming effect.

Unique adjustable waist- fits women sizes 0-14.

The Invisibelt was created by Kathy Kramer, who was tired of finding great pants that were slightly too big, but didn't want to spend the money on tailoring. Belts created that bump, and she could not find anything else. She then created the Invisibelt, and the results are incredible!

I had the opportunity to review the Invisibelt, and I was so excited! 

First, you adjust it to your size. You do this just like you would adjust a bra. You want a snug fit as well.

Put it on, and you can instantly wear anything you love again without the belt bulge! 

Sweaters, fitted tops and more- they all look so much better with the Invisibelt! 

The Invisibelt is available in clear or black. If you would like more color, there is a glamour line, which offers gold lace and silver lace as well.

Kathy Kramer did not stop there- she has created an entire line of products that are practical, simple to use and make all of us look better!

Invisibump by Invisibelt for Liz Lange- created for the first trimester or post pregnancy. Gives you the support you need and lies flat just like the Invisbelt, creating a slimming effect!

Invisibelt Girl- this line was created for the girls, available in 4 different colors, and perfect for growing girls. The adjustable waist works for sizes 20" to 38". 

-My Thoughts-

I love the line of products created by Kathy Kramer. 

I think they are very useful and great to have on hand!

The Invisibelt creates a smooth, slimming look that I love- who wouldn't?

The Invisibelt is only $19.95- which is a great price!

-Win It- 

There will be two winners- One winner will receive the Invisibelt in clear, and one will receive the new Invisibump!

Sun Protection Zone- Review & Giveaway

Being out in the sun during summer is inevitable. I grew up swimming, skiing, tubing and fishing. My daughter loves water just the same. The difference? We are aware of the sun's harmful rays now. A simple solution? Sun Protection Zone- a company that makes wonderful products with built in SPF and UPF so you don't have to worry about anything but having fun in the sun!

Growing up, I never used sunblock. My dad is, and still is, a major sun worshiper. When I was 7, I remember my friend's parents asking me if I had put on sunblock- that I was really sunburned. I told them yes, and showed them the bottle. Come to find out, what I thought was sunblock was really baby oil. That is how clueless I was. That is what I was told that I should put on my skin to look better. Great. Just great.

Moving on to the adult world, and now that I am a parent myself, I am very careful about sun protection. I wear sunblock every single day- rain or shine. Summer or Winter. I have my daughter do the same. It is part of our normal everyday routine, like brushing our teeth, and is no big deal. Of course we still get tan in the summer, we just don't get baked. 

We had the opportunity to review the child long sleeve one-piece suit from Sun Protection Zone, and I want to tell you all about it!

• This suit, just like all the other products offered at Sun Protection Zone, has 100 SPF and UPF 50

• The tightly woven, high density fabric is the key- it blocks out harmful rays from the sun. 

• Although you would think that the long sleeves are hot, the material is very breathable.

• This suit stands up to both chlorine, salt water and lake water very well- we tried!

• Material dries very quickly!

• With this suit, you only need to apply about 1/3 of the sunscreen- (face, ears, legs, hands, etc.)

• At the end of the sleeves, there are thumb holes, to keep the sleeves down.

Of course Sun Protection Zone offers many other options as well- There is a huge line of short and long sleeve rash guards, sunglasses, solar wrapz, shorts and more!

There is also a full line of items for the adults as well!

-My Thoughts-

I think the products offered at Sun Protection Zone are incredible, save time and money!

I cannot stress how important sun safety is to my family, and these products are awesome!

All the items are very reasonably priced, so you won't break the bank!

-Win It-

One reader will win an item of choice from Sun Protection Zone!  

Mandatory Entry- Visit Sun Protection Zone and tell me what you would pick!

Powermat- Home & Office Mat- Review & Giveaway

Like most families, we have so many electronics- cell phones, GPS, Ipod, Games, a laptop and so much more!!
Finding a way to keep everything charged up and everyone happy can be tough, especially if you are short on space.... it can begin to look like a store at your house charging everything up with wires going crazy!

Then there was the Powermat. A charging station that is not only compatible with hundreds of electronics, but is wireless. Now I call that Genius!!

Powermat has created several charging stations, each to fit your own personal needs. I had the opportunity to review the Powermat, and if I can work it with ease, I know anyone can!

The entire concept is to be able to drop your devices on the Powermat strip, and be able to walk away- letting your enjoy your life not having to worry about taking the time to plug things up, find wires, etc. Magnetic alignment is used to hold your devices in place. This makes each device sit in  the correct spot and charge perfectly.

You can charge up to 3 devices at a time on the Powermat. A sound will tell you if the the connection between device and Powermat is activated. Then once again, when you remove your device, the sound will go off again. Plus, there is a charging light that shows up once something is charging. 

One of my favorite features is the auto shut off. When power to a device is fully charged, the auto shut off will occur to that device. This not only saves energy, but will ensure the quality of your battery.

A USB connection is also available with every set, or can be purchased separate. This can be used as another source of power.

Each PowerMat comes with a Powercube. The Powercube is for your tip storage. Inside you will find a Mini USB and 7 other tips that are commonly used.

-My Thoughts- 

I love the sleek, clean design.

The sight of no more cords is awesome! They were driving me nuts as I was constantly fighting for space with them!

I love the entire concept of the drop and go = worry free charging.

The Powermat retails for $100 and can be found online or at select stores such as Best Buy & Target.

Right Now, you can get 20% off your purchase of the Powermat!

Or

-Win It- 

One reader will win the Home & Office Mat with up to 3 receivers!

Soda Stream- Review & Giveaway

I have a guilty indulgence. I love soda. Although I don't like all the chemicals that are added, I do enjoy a great soda every once in a while. Unfortunately, I usually feel bloated and gassy afterwards. I recently found Soda Stream- a company that lets you make your own soda- and without junk like high fructose corn syrup!

I had the opportunity to review the Soda Stream and I want to tell you all about it!

The soda maker is where is all starts! My first thoughts were that this machine would be big and take up a ton of counter space. I was so very wrong! The above design, the jet, is the best seller, and is only about 6 inches wide! Can you believe that??

The second thing you need is the bottle of carbonator. This bottle slides right into the back of the soda stream maker. This is where that "bubbly" comes from. The carbonator bottles come with the soda stream machines, and once empty, you can exchange at several different retail stores. You can make over 100 liters of soda with this bottle!!

There are over a dozen different flavors- ranging from the basics to fruity styles and diet choices. There are even water options- for carbonated flavored water! 

-How It Works-

1. Insert the carbonator into the back of the soda stream machine. Just take off the CO2 lid and twist into the machine.

 

2. Next, you fill the provided reusable bottle with cold water- there is a fill line. 

Screw bottle into front of soda stream.

3. Press the pump button on the front- (promise you won't miss it) Hold it down until it buzzes, and repeat 3 times!

4. VOILA - THAT IS IT!!

-My Thoughts-

I loved the taste. I usually feel overpowered by regular soda, but this does not bother me at all.

Super easy to make- so it is always fresh. I always wonder how old soda on the shelf is before you drink it....

Great design, does not take up much space.

The machine comes in the above color, white or red. very cool.

No more lugging around bottles or cans- this is so much simpler! Each flavor bottle makes about 12 liters or 33 cans!

No high fructose corn syrup in regular flavors.

No Aspartame in diet flavors.

Better on the environment- no more wasted bottles and cans!

- Win It-

One winner will receive a Soda Stream start up package! 

Fountain Jet Soda Lover's Start-Up Kit (approx. $100 retail value.) It includes the winner's choice of black/silver, white or red/silver Fountain Jet, CO2 to make over 100 liters of soda, 2 reusable carbonating bottles, a sample pack of flavors, and 3 full-sized flavors of the winner's choice.

Here's how to enter-

Mandatory Entry- Visit Soda Stream, and tell me what is the first flavor you would want to try!

Me & Goji- Custom Artisanal Cereal - Review & Giveaway

You know what they say- breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Unfortunately, while browsing the breakfast isle at the grocery store, I am usually distraught. I can't stand sugar cereal. I never had it growing up, and my daughter doesn't even know it exists. Don't get me wrong, we don't eat perfectly. If I lived in a perfect world, I would have a four course breakfast meal every morning. Yet life gets in the way sometimes, and with school season coming up, we have to have quick and easy solutions for those short on time mornings. Me & Goji has created a wonderful solution for everyone- custom artisanal cereal.

Me & Goji has an awesome idea- you visit their website, and create your ultimate cereal. You can add practically anything you can imagine! As an added bonus, everything is all natural and healthy!

To start, you create your base- choose from 9 different basics. From granola, oats, flakes and more. If you are uncertain about an item, you can read the information about an item. You can decide what you like from taste, texture or nutritional needs.

Next, you enhance your base. Most people choose 1-2 options in this area. You can add in raw ingredients such as cinnamon or nutmeg. There are options such as granola, oats, wheat germ and so much more.

Step 2- add in dried fruits. My favorite part! Most people add in 2-3 dried fruits. I love dried fruits in my cereal, and Me& Goji will not let you down- they have a huge selection! Apples, cranberries, strawberries, bananas, blueberries and goji are just a few of the options.

Next up, add in nuts and seeds. Most people pick 2-3 options here as well. Almonds, walnuts, pistachios.. and more, YUM! That added crunch is perfect to me!

After that, you are all done with your cereal, but the customizable part is SO not done yet! You get to name your cereal! I know when you hear this, it sounds like you are only naming your cereal so that if you place an order again it is ready. That is true, but at Me & Goji, they actually print your name on your cereal container! You can even add a picture! Cute!  How cool is that? 

Obviously, I had the opportunity to review a cereal made by ME! I chose artisanal cereal added in choco granola. Next, I picked cranberry, banana, blueberry and apples as my fruits. Then walnuts! YUMMY! 

I had no idea that the container would be so big! There is actually 15 servings of cereal in this tube! All of my ingredients are listed on the back, along with the nutritional facts. One the bottom, there is a hand signed signature, by the person that made my cereal!

Simply put, the cereal was awesome. I got exactly what I wanted.

Great, healthy cereal that taste amazing. My mix had a wonderful crunch of cereal, granola and walnuts,  with a sweet taste of fruits. 

Like sugar cereals, there was also a prize inside! We found a small bag, and inside there was some information about golden berries- an ingredient inside my cereal- very cool! We love to read a little something while we grub down on our cereal!

-My Thoughts-

The entire idea behind Me & Goji is awesome- you can now have exactly what you want!!

Everything offered is wholesome, nutritious and oh-so-yummy!

If you don't like having this many options, you can browse their recipes that are already made up.

Plenty of health options as well- such as gluten free cereals.

The price for my cereal was almost $16 - a bit steep for a cereal, but there is a ton of stuff in there!

-Win It-

One reader will win their own custom cereal from Me & Goji!!

Mandatory Entry- Visit Me & Goji, and tell me one ingredient that you would have to add to your creation!
