Mungi Bands – Fun for All Ages – Review & Giveaway *Expired*

By Lessie

My sweet little girls LOVE to wear bracelets and necklaces.  When I got the package in the mail that Mungi Bands generously sent my girls, I was excited to see what they would think.  The little magnetized bracelets are fun and colorful and can be a ton of fun for kids!

My girls LOVED these.  We didn’t just put them on as bracelets, oh no.  We linked more together to make a necklace.  Used just 1, looped around our earlobes to make earrings.  We even used them to dress up our stuffy friends.  Check out how we totally dressed up this stuffy.  Yes, he is COOL now.

One other thing that we used these for…TEACHING.  We discussed the polarity of magnets and used these to discover how opposite poles attract each other.  My girls LOVED that.  Obviously, not what they were meant for, but it was fun all the same.

You can grab Mungi Bands thru their website for $6.99 per pack of 3 with $2.99 flat rate shipping on however many packages you order.  Or you can grab them for $7.95 on Amazon with free super saver or prime shipping.  They are made of silicone, much like those bracelets that are popular EVERYWHERE with the inspirational sayings on them.

The magnets are rather strong.  As I mentioned earlier, we were able to use these as earrings, the magnets were that strong.  Since that is the case, I would keep these away from kiddos that are prone to put things in their mouth.  These are NOT a toy.

Mungi Bands are also giving (1) one lucky A Day In Motherhood reader their very own Mungi Bands.  Just enter on the Rafflecopter below.  This giveaway is open to Residents of US only.

Mungi Bands was so generous to send me some for review.  This did not affect my review in any way.  All opinions are my own.

scünci® Ponytailer Bracelet Review & Giveaway *Expired*

By Lessie

How many of you have worn our ponytail holders on our wrist?  I can’t tell you how many times I have done just that.  I have even thought about how nice it would be if the ponytail holder didn’t look so…well…ponytail holder-ish.  :)

Scunci has solved the problem.  They have developed the Ponytailer Bracelet.  It is meant to be worn as a bracelet and look nice on your wrist, until you need it to keep your hair up.  And then it looks nice as a pony tail holder too.  You can go from hair down to hair up quickly and still look completely put together.

As a bracelet, they look great.  They have the elasticity of a pony tail holder but with a little bling.  They are durable as you would expect from Scunci.  They are available in 9 complimentary colors.  Best of all, these retail for approximately $3.99 each at stores like CVS and Walmart.

What I loved about them, you can stack them.  With today’s trend of layering bracelets, why not have 3 of these Ponytailers and stack them on your wrist?  They are definitely cute enough to do this with, and since they are so lightweight, you could wear them and never miss a beat.

You can get some great styling ideas by visiting Scunci’s Facebook page.

Would you like to win your own Scunci Ponytailer Bracelet?  Just enter on the Rafflecopter below.

I was sent 2 Scunci Ponytailer Bracelets for review.  This did not affect my review in any way.  All opinions are my own. [Read more...]

Girl’s Night, ‘Bridesmaids’ & a Contest from Blockbuster Express #CBias #CouchCritics #BlockbusterExp

The other night, I gathered up a few friends, set out some goodies and headed to my nearest Blockbuster Express to rent Bridesmaids, a movie I have been dying to see!  But, being of funny mind and evil spirit, I had a plan for this girls night that was like no other!

But, first, to the process!

I wanted this to be a relaxed Friday night girlie get together with fatty foods, good punch and some serious laughter!  So I headed to my nearest grocery store and picked up some pizza, chips and artichoke spinach parmesean cheese dip (so YUM!), some multi grain chips, a bottle of pink lemonade and some sprinkle cookies!  Oh, and popcorn…  gotta have popcorn.

Happy with my selections, I drove just two miles from my house and found the Blockbuster Express.  I have never used a kiosk to rent a movie so I feared I would be standing out side, looking a little odd punching a screen over and over again as I hit the wrong thing.  But never fear, Blockbuster planned for people like me and made this super easy.  I was in and out in less that 3 minutes, movie in tow, including the time it took to take pictures of the process for you!

And I knew the movie would be there because certain movies at the Blockbuster Express kiosks have an ”In-stock Guarantee“.  If you reserve a movie online at BlockbusterExpress.com or choose it at the kiosk and it is not there, then just send a text to 39777 and they will send you a $1.00 off your next movie rental code!  The guarantee sure makes it easier to know you’ll get the movie you want when you want it!

 

And then I made a little detour to a little shop that had some things that I would need to make this party just that much more embarrassing fun for my friends!

I got home, kissed the kids, promised my husband I would be home two hours earlier than I actually planned on – gotta give the man hope – and walked to my neighbors house.  Her two teen boys were there and very curious as to what I had in a large, white bag.  So I let them unveil….  bridesmaid dresses!  Yes, the mystery surprise was that my fiends, dear to me in every way, would be asked to put on and prance around in bridesmaid dresses!  Some ours, some from a thrift shop that I HAD to get!

But MY surprise was that her 15 year old son, one to have a sense of humor and a relaxed attitude, took our ribbing to put one on and DID!  I could barely stop laughing long enough to take the photo, thus it being a little blurred!  Now THAT is a fun kid!

So now the dress was out of the bag!  Although, they knew.  I had told them… but I don’t know if they really thought I was going to go through with it!  But when my other friend showed up with her bridesmaids dress, I knew that my friends were well used to me throwing them out in blog world to be talked about for all eternity!

Now, there is another reason that I wanted to bring the dresses into the movie viewing!  Blockbuster Express is running a contest right now called the Ugly Dress Contest and it is SUPER easy to enter!  All you do it take a photo of yourself in your ugliest bridesmaids dress and tweet it to @BlockbusterExp!  When you do, and if you are one of the first 100 successful entries, you’ll get ten codes good for a free movie rental!  But if it is, truly the ugliest, you could win a $250 spa package, courtesy of Blockbuster Express!  How cool is that?   But hurry, the contest ends 11/2/2011!

We sent in some interesting ones…  you can see them on this slide show:

Once the bridesmaids dress fun was done, it was time to watch the movie!  Someone had tweeted to me not to be eating during the movie unless someone in the room knew the Heimlich.   I asked around and decided not to eat.

The movie is HYSTERICAL!!  This The Hangover for women!  The star, Kristin Wiig could not have portrayed the angst ridden, nothing can go right, there is always a new rock bottom, character who was full of smart lines and laughter inducing facial expressions.  She is the perfect fit in this movie and her character was one of my favorites!

But the one who surprised me the most was Melissa McCarthy! YES – Suki from Gilmore Girls!  Let me tell you, this role is such a departure from Suki, and so completely well played by her, that when I think of her now, I think of her as this character.  Brash, honest, self-assured and without a care in the world!  She is the comic genius in this film, in my opinion!

The entire cast was perfectly placed, the plot line was believable and hilariousness, and though some of the scenes were a bit over the top, they were truly important for the movie and make me want to watch Bridesmaids again!

The evening was great fun, with good friends, good food, and a GREAT movie.  It was full of healthy doses of laughter throughout!  Thank you to my friends who shamelessly looked amazing in some awful dresses!

And if you are looking for a good movie to have your own girls night, check out Bridesmaids!  You won’t be sorry!

Cars 2 & Kimberly Clark Help Moms WIN!

I am so excited to tell you about the Cars 2 and Kimberly Clark program to help Moms win Cars 2 merchandise!

I could sum this up on one sentence, and I will, and then I will give you all of the nitty gritty details so that you too can get FREE Cars 2 merchandise just for buying thing you already purchase for your home!

Ready?

Buy Kimberly Clark participating items, redeem the points on the tag online, and get really cool stuff!

OK, now the nitty gritty!

We use and stock up on Kimberly Clark products every single week in this family!  I have one still in Huggies Diapers and two still in Pull Ups at night.  We go through a container of Huggies Wipes in a few days, roll through Cottonelle Toilet Paper like nobody’s business, and continuously use Scott Paper Towels throughout the day!

Kleenex is on the back of every toilet, and Viva is possibly the softest paper towel I know so I buy it specifically to use as napkins on my kids faces!

Names we have probably all had in our homes at one time or another, right?

Kimberly Clark and Cars 2 think it is pretty neat that we support them so they decided to give us busy moms a little something back!

Hence the awesome thank you gifts available on the Kimberly Clark website when you redeem your codes!

Like Crayola Giant Coloring Pages, and $10 Visa Gift Cards, and Mattel Die Cast Cars 2 Cars! EVEN Cars 2 Movie Tickets!!!

*Squeal*

And it is not just one little point per code either!  My Huggies Wipes got me 2 points and my Kleenex 3 Pack got me 6, and a pack of Jumbo Huggies Diapers that I got today gave me 12 more points!!  Twenty points on 3 products and I have the lowest value necessary to start redeeming and get giant coloring pages or a die cast Car!!

So here is what you do!

Go to the Kimberly Clark Website and sign up.  They ask for an email, a password, your address {to mail your loot}, and then opt in to participate in the program, accept their terms and you are off!

Buy any participating Kimberly Clark Item with the Cars 2 emblem on it, find your code, and enter it on the Kimberly Clark Website!  My wipes code was attached right on the package and my Kleenex code was inside the wrapper!  My diapers code was on the same tag as the Enjoy The Rewards program.

In addition, some items have additional prizes!  Like my Kleenex 3 Pack has 3 D Glasses and a code to go to the Disney Books website and get a FREE story and one month trial!  My kids are thrilled!

So, get your lists together of your Kimberly Clark stock up items, head to the store, and make sure you buy as many Cars 2 participating items as you can!  You have until the end of July to collect your codes!  Until the end of September to enter them and until October 31, 2011 to redeem for your prizes!

Seriously, if you plan to stock up like I do this summer, not only to get the codes but to make these things one less thing to run out of once school starts, you could potentially fill all of your kids gifting needs for the next year!  And yours!

Here is the list of participating items and the point value

(you may have to create an account to see this page)!

So get to shopping, stockpiling, and sharing with your family and friends this great opportunity to not only get great products, but also Cars 2 merchandise all at once!

*CLOSED*Barielle: Skin, Nail & Foot Care Product Review & Giveaway!

What woman does not love to be pampered?  I know that the littlest thing, like a coat of nail polish, can make my day!  Especially since it happens so rarely in my house.

So, of course, I jumped at the chance to try out Barielle Products!

I had never actually heard of this hands, nails, and foot care line until this review.  Previously only sold at exclusive stores, Barielle poducts are now available for purchase online at www.Barielle.com!

I knew that Barielle was the very first to offer products that did not contain formaldehyde, tolune,or dibutyl phthalate (DBP), chemicals found to be harmful in beauty products, but I was really excited to see that these products are obviously of high quality and do what they say!

I received the Barielle Total Foot Care Cream, the Barielle Ultra Speed Dry Manicure Extender, and ‘Swizzle Stix’ Shades by Barielle Nail Polish!

Sooo…  here is my secret.  I have horrible feet and nails!  HORRIBLE!  I run around barefoot all the time on my acre, stepping on sweet gum berries and pine cones and all of the other ‘woodsy’ things in my yard.  I often have to tip my pedicurist double just to get my feet ready for a pedicure and am usually the talk of the salon.  Which I only go to once.  To preserve my embarrassment to one salon at a time.

Needless to say, for a cream to work on my callousy feet would be pretty awesome!  Especially if it is affordable! Barielle’s Total Foot Care Cream is $12!

I followed the directions for 7 days.  I put it in the morning and at night and at night put socks on to sleep in.  Hard for me – the reigning Queen of Flip Flop Land – but in just a night, I was used to it.

I can not believe the difference!

I would say at least 50% of the dry cracks are gone or softer and my feet are no longer able to sand the boards of my neighbors porch!  AND…  drumroll please…  the hubs noticed!  He said there is definitely a softness that he is not used to and he really likes it!  Plus, the wonderful baby powder smell and silky cream makes me feel all lady like.

I really love the Barielle Total Foot Care!

My next two products are fun and exciting motivation for me to paint my nails all the time!  Now, I am a boring, going gray, stressed out stay at home mom of three.  So when given the list of fabulous colors that I could choose for my Shades by Barielle polish, I looked at the predictable beige and the sometimes different pale pink and the typical mauve… and then picked blue!  Swizzle Stix to be exact!

Come on… I needed a little excitement in my day!

And I have to honestly say, I get more compliments on this color than any other color I have ever used in my life!  And, in almost two weeks, I have only had to paint them once!  ONCE!  Through dishes, laundry, kids, more kids, and some more kids, and puppies, I have only painted them once.  And they still look great!

I attribute the longevity not only to the high quality product and its protective finish, but also to the Barielle Ultra Speed Dry Manicure Extender!  Applied just two minutes after I painted my nails, within 60 seconds, they were totally dry!  Seriously!  No wonder it won the CEW Award!  And at $16 bucks a bottle, it is a no – brainer to have this stocked in my medicine cabinet!

So, as you can see, I have nice, softer feet and an awesome color with longevity on my nails!  I bet you can guess that I am going to recommend to every reader, every husband, and every friend to check out the line of Barielle Products!  You will not be sorry!

BUY IT

You can now purchase Barielle Products ONLINE!  Affordably priced and shipped free for orders over $50! Plus,  get 15% off your order if you register for other awesome deals!

Oh How I Love Pasta! My Signature Recipe!

Granted, I am on my way to the weight loss happiness that is near, but I can still talk about and share recipes that I love, right?  The ones that bring smiles to my eaters faces and “more” to my children’s lips!  The ones that bring back wonderful childhood memories and taste familiar and warm?

Like my signature Lasagna!

I’ll admit, this was my mothers recipe, and I think even my Grandmother’s,  but I have made it so often for my family that I feel like it is mine now as well!

Lasagna

2.5 pounds of ground beef  {I like to mix ground pork and sausage, and spinach in too!}

A jar of spaghetti sauce

A package of noodles {I like the precooked ones!}

1 pound of cottage cheese

1 pound of shredded mozzarella cheese

I brown the meat, add the sauce, and start piling in the casserole dish!

First noodles, then meat, then more noodles to hold the cheeses.  Then meat, noodles and cheese.

Stack it how you want but make sure noodles are on the bottom so that the lasagna stays together when you scoop it out!

Bake at 375 deg for an hour

Sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese with about 15 minutes left to cook

It is that easy and a family, friend, stranger on the street, favorite!

Anyone can make this dish and since the ingredients are so few, it is affordable and minimum on the labor side!  Plus they freeze great for new moms, neighbors, or just to have in your freezer for an even easier dinner!

Because I love pasta and all things pasta, I thought it would be interesting to take the Carrabba’s Pasta Personality Quiz on Facebook!  Come on, quizzes are FUN!

Turns out, I am just as simple and easy as my Lasagna!

“You’re genuine and well loved, like Carrabba’s Spaghetti and Meatballs. Your warm and comforting personality makes you everybody’s best friend. So go for our equally popular hand-prepared meatballs over perfectly cooked imported spaghetti.”

Mmm… Spaghetti and Meatballs would be my other favorite pasta!

Is that how you see me?

How fun is this?

I want to know that YOUR pasta personality is!  Go take the quiz and report back your pasta personality!  Think of what we will learn about each other!
