Kushy Foot will save your tootsies!




I love a great pair of heels just as much as any chick, but sometimes, we all just want to kick them off and relax! Unfortunately, while out in public, most of us just don't kick off our shoes and relax..... if only there were some kinda genius invention that could solve this dilemma... KushyFoot is just that! Now you can enjoy all of your favorite shoes, for an extended time- all without the pain!


KushyFoot is exactly what is seems- they have created a line of goodies that keep your feet well, kushy! KushyFoot is the first hosiery brand to incorporate reflexology in socks to massage with every step! These socks include knee socks, trouser socks, foot and toe covers, tights, knee highs and men's socks! This massage feeling works because they have a three-dimensional, padded insanely comfortable design! This relieves tension and alleviates the pain that those oh-so cute stilettos and other shoes cause! With KushyFoot, your feet will protected, which is a great feeling!


I was sent two items for review from KushyFoot, flats to go and a pair of their foot covers. I was sketchy at first, because although I typically wear heels, I have never really had a problem with my feet being all that uncomfortable. I was wrong! I feel like I have been missing something throughout my entire life! My heels feel miserable without KushyFoot! I won't ever go back without these magical little treats!




The KushyFoot foot covers were my first experiment. I was sent a black lacy pair and they are a lace type material. The main thing I noticed was that once on, there was an incredible area of padding right where most of us need it- on the front ball of your foot! Although this padding is very discreet, it packs some serious pampering power! I could seriously wear these all the time! Even better is that they are so small, I can wear them with my favorite pair of heels, and no one will even notice!


The second item was the KushyFoot Flats To Go! These are exactly what they sound like, too! You will find these in a nifty little pouch, complete with a handle- they are like a wonderful present in your time of need- and I mean when you feel like,"someone get me outta these heels!"  I love that these come in such a small package, perfect for tossing in your purse! However, these shoes are not what you would expect- they have an actual sole on them, are comfortable and really cute! What a genius idea for when you just can't take walking in uncomfortable shoes anymore!



-My Thoughts-

The KushyFoot Lace Foot Covers are seriously like heaven on your tootsies! I am wearing them right now! Avaliable in sizes 5-9 and under $12

The KushyFoot Flats To Go are sold in three different sizes, tons of different colors and prints. Price? under $10- these are fantastic! These would make an incredible stocking stuffer with Christmas on the way!

Moon Dough- Have fun without the mess!


Moon Dough is a dough that never dries out, hypo-allergenic, wheat free and a blast! If you are looking for a product that your kids will love, as well as a product that won't create a crazy huge mess, you're gonna LOVE Moon Dough!

Each set of Moon Dough comes with a play set, and we were sent the breakfast set! I was unsure about this at first, because I have never heard of this brand, however, once we opened the package, it was a huge hit! Inside the kit, we found 2 colors of Moon Dough, 3 popper molds, 1 half mold, play mat, and an instruction guide. How cute is that play mat?


The package was labeled for 5 and up, and although my daughter is not quite 5, she had a blast and had no issues with Moon Dough! Just flatten out the dough, push and pop into the molds and voila! you have your creations! This dough is unlike anything I have felt before, it is squishy, but extremely light-weight. You can transform this dough into anything, and unlike other doughs, it never dries out! How awesome is that??


The breakfast set included molds to make waffles, pancakes and fruit! This was such a fun experience and I have already looked into different sets for upcoming birthdays and Christmas!


-My Thoughts-

My daughter has spent numerous hours playing with Moon Dough and still loves it- with and without the set!

I love that Moon Dough is hypo-allergenic, never dries out and the possibilities are endless!

There are so many different sets to chose from, so you can find the perfect one for the kiddo in your life!

Sold at retailers such as Toys R Us, Walmart, Target, Amazon.com, and more!

OXY Maximum Line- Review & Giveaway


I've always been told that I have great skin, however, like most of us, factors such as stress, hormones, lack of sleep, etc. can wreck havoc on our skin! I have always been really great about always washing off my make-up at night, but it seems that my skin is so sensitive, that even the weather change can irritate me! Breakouts are one of these irritants, and we all know that breakouts aren't just a phase for high schoolers! They follow us throughout our adult life, too! 


OXY is a brand that I was somewhat familiar with, I mean, it has been around for quite some time, yet I have never used any of their products. I just figured that they were primarily for people with serious acne problems, and never gave them a chance. I was recently asked by OXY to review their Maximum Line, and I decided that it would be a great time, because I would get to tell my wonderful readers!

The OXY Maximum Line is made up a three-step process. Using just a single product from this line will clean, heal and help prevent breakouts, but when used together, you can pretty much say "bye-bye" to breakouts all together! Below you can learn about each of the three products from the OXY Maximum Line!


 -OXY Maximum Cleansing Pads-

Penetrates deep into pores where pimples start
Acne Treatment 2% salicylic acid
Instantly starts unclogging pores
Removes dirt and oil
Works continuously between washings
OXY Maximum Cleansing Pads have a patented formula that starts working immediately. 
For best results, use with OXY Face Wash and Spot Treatment.


-OXY Maximum Face Wash-

                        Deep cleans pores with 10% benzoyl peroxide
10% benzoyl peroxide
                             Releases active oxygen to eliminate most acne-causing bacteria
  Helps prevent future breakouts
One of the leading benzoyl peroxide face washes in acne treatment, OXY Maximum Face Wash removes dirt, oil, and acne-causing bacteria, leaving skin clean and fresh.



-OXY Maximum Spot Treatment-

                              Clinically proven to kill acne bacteria in 24 hours.
10% benzoyl peroxide
     Formlated to unblock pores
   Absorbs oil and reduces redness
         Vanishing Spot Treatment goes on white, dries clear
              Light Tint Spot Treatment camouflages blemishes
         Attack acne head on with the bacteria-fighting power of benzoyl peroxide.




-My Thoughts-

The OXY Maximum Line is great- I have never felt like my normal face wash removed all my make-up, but with this system, there were no doubts.

The face wash and the spot treatment contain 10% benzoyl peroxide- most other brands contain about 2%- so this is a very concentrated version.


These products are sold at most retail places, at a fantastic price point!

As with all products that contain benzoyl peroxide, be very careful to stay clear of your eyes- this happened to me the first time I used this, and it hurt like mad! 

This system kept my skin clean, clear and looking great! I would suggest adding in a moisturizer with this system, as with the treatment, it could easily dry your skin out!


-Win It-

One reader will win the entire Maximum Line from OXY!

Sibu Beauty- Review & Giveaway


A fairly new company, Sibu, was created by Bruce McMullin. After a series of events that had him cross paths with an ayurvedic specialist in Chinese plants & herbs, he wound up experimenting with the seabuckthorn berry, a powerful holy fruit. Searching some of the most desolate locations, he found this holy fruit, and created a line of beauty products, called Sibu, created in 2009. Sibu's exclusive harvesting and manufacturing process produces more potent and hardy nutrient dense sea buckthorn raw materials than currently available on the market today!



What exactly is Sea Buckthorn? 

A powerful and distinctive whole food source.
This super fruit is backed by more than 130 scientific studies demonstrating its success at addressing a variety of consumer needs including improved skin tone and texture, healthy aging and digestive health! Backed by 1300 years of traditional uses, this old age remedy is now available for all of us thru Sibu!



Sibu's premium Himalayan sea buckthorn products are-

100% natural
contain no preservatives, dairy, wheat, gluten, sodium or yeast.
Paraben free
Cruelty free
Fair Trade




Sibu Beauty offers a wide range of products, from dietary supplements to renewing your skin. The product I want to tell you about now is the Sea Buckthorn Hydrating Serum! I recently had the opportunity to review this little jar of heaven! 


I was sketchy about this hydrating serum, because I have very sensitive skin, and typically when a product says anything about "hydration," it usually breaks my face out! However, after using this product daily for over 2 weeks now, I have nothing but fabulous thoughts about this product! 


This is a lightweight, non-oily serum that literally feels like someone took a fresh berry, squished it in your hand with a little water. It feels that natural, and guess what? It really is! To use, just gently massage on your face and neck and you will immediately get rid of that tight, dry feeling in your skin! It not only feels incredible, but the lasting benefits are amazing! 


Natural Sea Buckthorn oils have proven to improve skin tone and texture, and help brighten complexion, stimulating cell renewal. Infused with vitamins and high in antioxidants, this serum fortifies the skin against the aging process and repairs damage at a cellular level. (now who could NOT use some of that??) Plus, it smells fabulous!


-My Thoughts-

This serum is heavenly!

Great for all skin types!

Simple, Pure, Gentle, and lightweight! Exactly what I was looking for!

Free of nasty chemicals and products. Everything is natural.

Repairs and protects.



-Win It-

One reader will win a bottle of Sibu Sea Buckthorn Hydrating Serum!

Flip Flop Moscato Wine!



FlipFlop Wines is a company that I am passionate about for several reasons! The wine of course is wonderful, affordable and has several different varieties! The price point is under $10 a bottle, which is wonderful! This is also a close knit family company that supports Soles4Souls, an incredible charity that helps get shoes to those in need- how fitting is that?


I've told you about several different varieties of Flip Flop Wines before, and now, I bring you Moscato! The Moscato is obviously a white wine, which is personally great to me with the warmer weather. This is a fabulous wine to share at this time of year, chilled, and enjoyed with friends! A very crisp, refreshing, light wine that has a sweet undertone.


One of my absolute favorite things about this company is you will find so much information on their site about each and every wine! For us that don't really drink, but enjoy a great glass of wine, you will find great suggestions and ideas on the site! The Moscato is suggested to be great paired with Pad Thai, Chinese Chicken Salad or Vegetable Curry. However, I think this light wine is great with chicken off the grill and/or dessert since this is a sweeter taste. 


As I have told you before, this is a company that I fully stand behind! Along with so many reasons, I love that they are so dedicated to providing shoes thru the Soles4Souls charity! For every bottle of FlipFlop wine purchased, Soles4Souls will distribute a pair of shoes to someone in need! That is an incredible contribution, especially since this wine is so reasonably priced and taste great! Talk about a win-win!

Lovable Labels- Don't lose it, label it!- Review & Giveaway



If you have kids, surely you have heard of Lovable Labels! If not, sit back and find out how you can now label everything in style, and be worry free about ever losing anything again! Lovable Labels is a family owned business, created by a mom, who was told that once her child entered daycare, everything had to be labeled. Although we can easily write with marker on most items, they tend to wear off, not stay and it can be a real hassle! Lovable Labels created a fool-proof way of labeling things, for once and for all! 


I am Jenny, and I am an "organization junkie," mostly because I know that if I am not, my life will become super hectic and insane! Lovable Labels are such a lifesaver to me, and with my oldest child being in school this year, I am thrilled to have a company like this! You will seriously find everything you could possibly imagine at the Lovable Labels site! Safety products, clothing labels, stationary, household product stickers and oh so much more! 

My daughter is fully decked out in labels for school, too! Everything that she brings to school, I can rest assured that nothing will get lost! There are labels on her clothes, backpack, school supplies, and more! I also know that her teacher is thrilled, because this creates a more organized environment on her end as well!


Lovable Labels are great for household items, too! How cute is this label for the cookie jar? You can personalize anything really, and it can be something no one else will have!


The thing I want to tell you about today, is the personalized return address labels! I recently had the opportunity to review these, and I am thrilled! These are not only cute, practical and savvy, but they save me time! I was sent these quickly, and I have been using them already! These are also great to have on hand for other purposes as well- I keep a few in my wallet, in case it gets lost, I have stuck one on my water bottle, as well as my eyeglass case! 


-My Thoughts-

I think everything Lovable Labels has to offer is unique, practical and saves us time and money!

You won't have to worry about these labels wearing off, washing off, or getting lost!

Scunci Design Weaver- review & giveaway


I've told you about quite a few products by Scunci, and how much my daughter loves them all! The newest product, the design weaver, is just as fun! The Design Weaver from Scunci, is practically colored fabric that you "weave" through your hair, creating a pop of color and of course something different, funky and fun!


The Scunci Design Weaver comes with several different colors of fabric, that are long enough for even the longest hair, and a tool, that makes the process super easy! (along with the great instructions and fabulous picutres as well!) This tool reminded me of a craft needle, and let me "design" anything I wanted into my daughter's hair! She loved that the colors offered in our pack were pink, purple and blue! 


Just what is this fabric I speak of? It's a lightweight, almost mesh-like colored scarf! It won't weigh you down, irritate you, or drive you mad like so many other products on the market!


The Design Weaver was a blast to try out, and my daughter got to express herself! The best part was that although styles and fads change, the Design Weaver can be manipulated into any style that you want! Without pins or clips, the fabric stays put where you leave it, too!




-My Thoughts-

Scunci has done it again with the Design Weaver, creating a simple, affordable and unique product!


The Scunci Design Weaver is available for an average price of $4.99 per kit at drug and mass retailers nationwide, including CVS, Walgreen's Target and KMart.



-Win It-

One winner will win a Design Weaver Kit from Scunci!
