Fantasy Jewelry Box - Review & Giveaway

I have told you before, and I will tell you again- I LOVE Fantasy Jewelry Box! As you know, I have already hosted a giveaway for Fantasy Jewelry box before, and since it seems so many of you wanted to win, they have offered up another giveaway! And trust me, their products are just like their customer service- awesome! Plus, with the great prices, huge selection and great quality, who needs over-priced expensive jewelry?

If you know me, I am not really a jewelry person. No really, because I hate to spend that kind of money. But... I do love to dress up from time to time and wear a few items on a daily basis. With that said, why still, would I of all people blow a ton on jewelry? Instead, you can get tons of goodies for all occasions at Fantasy Jewelry Box! 

The last giveaway, I reviewed the Hailey's Princess vintage style Princess cut CZ Ring. In case you were wondering, I am still wearing this ring. Everyday, thank you. It has held up wonderfully, and I get compliments on it all the time. This ring is right under $45- which is a WAY better price than my actual engagement ring, and I gotta tell you, it actually feels better. And no, no one paid me to say that either- haha!

This time around, I chose the Natalie's Sterling Silver 3 Carat Princess Cut Stud Earrings. 

Aren't they pretty?

I love them, to say the least!

They are basic, classic, just enough bling, and they match my ring!

You want to know the best thing of all?

These earrings are only $23.95! 

Okay, so they look pretty big in this picture, but they don't seem this big in person. Maybe my ears are bigger, I don't know. Here is a picture of the earrings on me- and sorry for the horrible picture, but I wanted you all to see that these really did not appear as big and gaudy! I think they look casual enough to wear everyday! 

Of course if the bling isn't your thing, there is PLENTY to chose from! I am sure anyone can appreciate Fantasy Jewelry Box, and their massive selection! Heck, you can find it all! 

-My Thoughts-

I still love Fantasy Jewelry Box- for myself and for gifts!

You have to check out the current clearance section- even more amazing prices!

Great quality, and if I lose something, I probably won't curl up and cry over it!

Ergo Baby- Review & Giveaway

Baby-wearing has become very common, and is a great solution for carrying around baby. Not only does it free your hands up, but it is great on your back and ERGO baby makes some amazing carriers that oh-so comfortable! ERGObaby carriers support the baby's spine and promotes the healthiest position for baby's hips while they are in the carrier.

The ERGObaby carriers can be worn in the front or the back. The front position is best for newborns to 6 months. There is even an optional infant insert that helps position baby more comfortably and can be easily placed inside the carrier and rearranged simply. Made for newborns to 4 months, this is a great cozy addition that the younger babies love!

The ERGObaby carrier can also be worn on the back. This is the position mostly used for 6 months and so forwards, as long as baby can hold their head up on their own. A built in hood supports a sleeping baby's head and makes your activity easier. 

I had the opportunity to review an ERGObaby carrier, and although our peanut is not here yet, I am so very excited to test it out! I used a baby doll to try out the front position, and I am so very relieved at how easy this carrier is to wear!

When my daughter was a baby a few years ago, I had another brand carrier, and I was really let down. I had to have so much help putting her inside the carrier, and I never felt comfortable! The ERGObaby carrier, on the other hand, is very comfortable! The side straps that rest on your shoulders and the waist strap are both very padded. There are two buckles- one that rest on your waist and one that is right above that, securing baby safely. 

-My Thoughts- 

I love the softness of the carrier. Although I will probably wash first before wearing, it feels so comfy!

The color selection of the carriers is amazing- you can get whatever makes you happy!

I love how simple it is to adjust the sizing on the carrier- making it simple for my husband to trade off and we can take turns carrying baby!

I love the built in hood- when not in use, there is a convenient pocket for it to slide into.

There is also a zippered pouch on the front, awesome for necessities!

ERGObaby also makes several accessories to go with the carrier, such as a backpack, cargo pack, changing pad, they even make a mini version for the kids- to carry around baby dolls- and more! 

-Win It-

One Lucky winner will receive an ERGObaby carrier! 

Mandatory Entry- Visit ERGObaby, and tell me your favorite carrier!

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

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-

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!
