New Shaklee Winner!

The winner never got back to me for their awesome Shaklee Prize, so a new winner was selected. Congrats #48 Stephanie

"Singing Candy Dish" review and giveaway! CLOSED



I am back with another great review and giveaway from Rockconepts, Inc. Like I mentioned in a previous post, Rockconcepts carries a variety of novelty products you can give as gifts or use for the holidays. With Valentines just around the corner, Rockconcepts wanted to help my readers out their shopping. For those of you still looking, you will want to consider getting the "Hershey Kiss Singing Candy Dish".

Rockconcepts, Inc. was generous to also send me a "Hershey Kiss Singing Candy Dish" to review. Although this was a free gift, it does not influence this review.

Review:
I would absolutely love to receive the "Hershey Kiss Singing Candy Dish" as a valentines gift. Every time I open the candy dish and hear the song "Kiss On My List", a smile appears on my face. It is the perfect song to go with the perfect dish, which can also be filled with the perfect chocolates, "Hershey Kisses" (The Hershey Kisses are not included, but it isn't that much more to run to the store and get a bag of them).

Men, this would be a great gift to surprise your special someone with. It may also be a great place to hide that small piece of jewelry you want to sneak in as part of your gift (hint hint). Ladies, I would also recommend this to give to that guy you have your eyes on. It is unique, thoughtful and holds chocolates!

Buy It:
Not only can you purchase these products at www.Rockconepts.us, but you can find Rockconepts, Inc. products on Amazon, Sears or several other local stores. Look on the "About Us" page for more information.

Football Party review and giveaway! CLOSED


It's no secret in my home that it has been "Football Season". My husband loves football and looks forward to the "Super Bowl" every year. Lucky for him the Super Bowl is almost here. Knowing my husband isn't the only football fan, I am very excited to share with you this review/giveaway.

For those of you who are wanting to throw the Ultimate "Football Party", you must have the Rockconcepts Football Snack Bowl. This Football Snack Bowl looks like a real football, yet with a push of a button the FOX NFL Theme comes on and the football opens to reveal a yummy snack.

Rockconcepts, Inc. was kind enough to send me my own Football Snack Bowl to review. Although this was a free gift, it does not influence this review.

Review:
Even though I am never as excited as my husband is for the Super Bowl, this awesome snack bowl already has me looking forward to throwing a Super Bowl party. I can't wait to fill the Football Snack Bowl with some treats. It will work great for nuts, pretzels or M&Ms. Mmmm!

The Football Snack bowl is literally the size of a real football. The makers did a great job making it as life like as possible. I was a little concerned that the NFL song would become if it came on every time you open it. I was relieved to know you can just open it up without the button and leave it open to stop anymore music. So there are no more worries about this interfering with a good game.

Not only did my husband get a "kick" out of it, but he was happy to see that I really do support his love for football!

Rockconcepts, Inc. carries so much more than just the Football Snack Bowl. You can find several other novelty products on their site. What really makes their products stand out is that they are not only fun and entertaining, but they also serve a purpose. These products are great to give as a gift or use when hosting a party!

EcoSMART organic pesticides giveway!!! CLOSED


I mentioned earlier this year I am focusing on being more green. I am wanting to be more cautious with what I bring into my home and around my children. For this reason I have switched over to all natural cleaning solutions with no harsh chemicals.

Spring is around the corner and although I love the beautiful flowers that begin to bloom, I do not enjoy all the bugs that come out with the warmer weather. Were we live there seems to be a lot of wasp and hornets. We constantly have to buy traps and try our best to keep them away from our kids. I always worry about using chemicals for fear that my youngest will somehow manage to get it in her mouth. I was very excited when I was contacted by EcoSMART. They carry every products I would need to keep the hornets, wasps, spiders and insects away. What really intrigued me was how safe they are.
