<p style="text-align: justify;">We recently moved, and I purged our home of tons of stuff, and I really mean TONS.  Probably about 20 bags of trash, and a room full of yard sale junk were not moved with us to our new residency.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I still haven&#8217;t hung up any pictures on the wall yet, or done any special decorating, but I am starting to get used to the bare look in my home.  There is something about it that keeps me less stressed, and allows me to actually &#8220;breath&#8221; without feeling claustrophobic.  I&#8217;m sure it won&#8217;t stay this way forever, but I hope to keep a minimalistic approach to my house.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2511" href="http://lizzydearslife.net/2010/07/oxy-clinical-acne-treatment.html/logo-7"><img class="size-full wp-image-2511 aligncenter" title="logo" src="http://lizzydearslife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/logo1.png" alt="" width="200" height="66" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a teen I never had many issues with acne, but now as a thirty-something adult, I have more problems than ever.  I am always trying to research ways to fight acne, and blemishes, and I was pleased to try out a few new products by <a href="http://www.oxyskincare.com/">Oxy Clinical</a>.  The three step process is simple and so far, really seems to work well.  The 3 products are a face wash, that is creamy, yet not overly, a serum/moisturizer to keep face hydrated, and taut, and a blemish spot treatment.  I noticed after just a few days of using the Oxy Clinical Acne Treatment that the acne I had around my nose was starting to diminish.  As well as some of the pimples that were cropping up around my chin area.  I really appreciate the fact that the Oxy Clinical acne treatment hasn&#8217;t dried my skin out or left it peeling or flaky.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2512" href="http://lizzydearslife.net/2010/07/oxy-clinical-acne-treatment.html/front-page-combo_02b"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2512 aligncenter" title="front-page-combo_02b" src="http://lizzydearslife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/front-page-combo_02b-500x342.png" alt="" width="500" height="342" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">My teen son has been using the Oxy Clinical Acne Treatment as well and loves it.  It&#8217;s simple enough for him to remember to use it, and effective enough to keep his face clear.  So far he&#8217;s been quite fortunate and not had much to deal with as far as acne, but it can crop up at any time, so I am really glad he&#8217;s been using the Oxy Clinical products.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">It you&#8217;d like to try out the Oxy Clinical Acne Treatment for yourself or for your teen, head over to their <a href="http://www.oxyskincare.com/">site</a> and print out a coupon. The Oxy Clinical products can be purchased at most drug stores, and chain supermarkets.</p>
<address style="text-align: justify;"><em>I wrote this review while participating in a blog campaign by <a href="http://www.momcentral.com">Mom Central</a> on behalf of Oxy Clinical and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.</em></address>

<p style="text-align: justify;">My daughter has recently discovered Toddlers and Tiaras and is totally enamored with the idea of pageants.  We really can&#8217;t afford to participate in pageants to begin with, and to top it off, my husband has pretty much forbid us from entering Mika in one anyway.  So, when we are bored, we &#8220;play&#8221; pageant, and do up her hair and makeup, and glitz her out. It&#8217;s at least something fun to do, but it is scary to see my 5 year old look like she&#8217;s a teenager!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://outright.com/">Outright</a> is a dream come true for many business owners and those that could use online bookkeeping, and don&#8217;t have a huge budget designated towards accounting.  Outright offers personal financial assistance free of charge.  Whether you need a lot of advice, or have a few questions to ask, Outright is there for you, free of charge. As a blogger Outright has a lot of help to offer, and I am taking it!  Tracking expenses, and deductions is just one positive attribute of Outright.  Here is a little information from the Outright site that gives more a of indepth explanation:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Backed by leading investors, </em><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.sequoiacap.com/us/internet"><em>Sequoia Capital</em></a><em>, </em><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.firstround.com/portfolio/view_list.cfm"><em>First Round Capital</em></a><em>, </em><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.shastaventures.com/portfolio/view_investments?all.x=105&amp;all.y=4&amp;all=view+all+investments&amp;p4="><em>Shasta Ventures</em></a><em>,</em><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.softtechvc.com/"><em>SoftTech VC</em></a><em>, and </em><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.felicisvc.com/"><em>Felicis Ventures</em></a><em>, Outright is streamlining the work involved with owning a business, helping entrepreneurs pay the right taxes, record financial transactions, and keep their businesses on track and growing.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Outright was created after watching entrepreneurs struggle to capture all of their business deductions, often piecing together different solutions. Whether sticking every possible receipt in a file folder and shipping it off to a bookkeeper, tracking everything in a huge spreadsheet, or even using a couple of different web sites to track transactions and create invoices, the results were invariably the same: too much time and effort spent on the least enjoyable part of running one&#8217;s own business. Our goal: to keep it as simple as possible; helping entrepreneurs track all of their income and expenses to get their taxes done accurately.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Sounds too good to be true, doesn&#8217;t it?  But it&#8217;s not, and <a href="http://outright.com/">Outright</a> is available for you to try out today, so head on over a take a look.</p>
<h6 style="text-align: justify;"><em>I wrote this post of my own opinion, and I was monetarily sponsored by Outright for BlissDom 2010, and hoping to be sponsored for BlogHer, but my opinions remain the same.</em></h6>

<p>My youngest son is in to playing with little characters and using his imagination.  He has a new favorite toy that keeps him entertained for a long time.  He received a little amusement park called <a href="http://www.poponpals.com/">Pop-On Pals.</a> These little play centers and characters are unique in the way that they can be customized to become different characters, and utilized for various imaginative play sets.  The amusement park set is so cute, and includes a miniature size roller coaster, ferris wheel, and a couple of carnival games.  The little guy that came with the set is cute, and when he rides the rides or plays the games, music, and other realistic sounds are activated.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2493" href="http://lizzydearslife.net/2010/07/pop-on-pals-tons-of-fun.html/sany0652"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2493 aligncenter" title="SANY0652" src="http://lizzydearslife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/SANY0652-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p>I like that little hands can grasp the character easily, and play with this amusement park set well.  There are various characters that can be purchased separately to be used with each playcenter and animals and pets as well.  The Pop-On Pals Playcenter retails for around $34.95 and can be purchased at multiple stores including Target, KMart, Sears, Amazon among others.</p>
<p>I will be watching for other <a href="http://www.poponpals.com/">Pop-On Pals</a> Playcenters to come out soon, and I know my son will love them all!</p>
<address>Thanks so much to Team Mom for this review opportunity.  We received the Pop-On Pals at no cost to us for review purposes, and the opinions are all mine, I haven&#8217;t received any monetary compensation for this post.</address>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Anyone else love a yummy ice cream treat?  If you are anything like me, then you do, and you will especially love <a href="http://www.smoothanddreamy.com/">Breyer&#8217;s</a> Smooth and Dreamy treats.  I just tried these cool and creamy delicious snacks and I have to say, I&#8217;m hooked.  And the best thing about these treats is that they are only around 130 calories apiece, so I can have 2 if I want and not feel guilty at all!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I tried the Triple Chocolate Chip bars, and let me tell you they are smooth, and dreamy, they definitely live up to their name.  These treats taste like they are laden with calories, and have a rich chocolate flavor.  The other varieties of Breyer&#8217;s Smooth &amp; Dreamy treats are Vanilla Fudge Brownie Sandwiches, Chocolate Caramel Brownie Sandwiches, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Sandwiches, Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bars, and Vanilla Caramel Chip Bars.  Yum, that&#8217;s quite the lineup, and I can&#8217;t wait to try them all!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Right now on Breyer&#8217;s Site you can play the <a href="http://www.smoothanddreamy.com/">Wheel of Delights Sweepstakes</a> game for an opportunity to win up to $10,000!  There are also 100&#8217;s of other instant prizes to win, and you can spin 3 times a day.  Sounds like a fun way to try and win some great prizes.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I have a tendency to use my iPhone to occupy my kiddos when we are out and about running errands, and such.  My 3 and 5 year old children know how to operate my phone like a pro, and have a few special apps that are just for them!  A new app we recently were able to try out was My Living Stories, which features a cross between old classics, along with new original stories.  The My Living Stories App has a few different versions including: Princess &amp; the Pea, King Midas, the Tortoise &amp; the Hare, Little Red Riding Hood and Goldilocks and the Three Bears..  My children&#8217;s favorite Living Story is Little Red Riding Hood.  The stories have beautiful illustrations, and are narrated to provide lots of entertainment for the youngsters.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Another thing we all love about the Living Stories apps is that they are interactive and initiate the imagination.  I am really glad we were introduced to these fun apps, I&#8217;m always seeking new and entertaining apps for my children, and these were just right.  Also, the price is right at not more than a couple of dollars per app, that rocks!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I love for my children to join together and play using their imagination, instead of just sitting in front of the television all day.  We recently received a play tent from <a href="http://www.discountschoolsupply.com/">Discount School Supply</a>, and it has been a big hit in our house so far.  We set it up in the living room, and all four of the kiddos wanted to join in the fun.  Even the teenage son was playing in the play tent (shhh, don&#8217;t tell his friends) and they even requested to sleep in the tent.<img class="size-medium wp-image-2528 aligncenter" title="SANY0618" src="http://lizzydearslife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/SANY0618-500x375.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="http://www.discountschoolsupply.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?newdssredirect=true&amp;product=28285&amp;category=178&amp;CategorySearch=&amp;Brand=&amp;Price=">play tent</a> came in two separate nylon bags and was extremely easy to put together.  And as soon as the kiddos were finished playing with it, the poles went into their bag, and the tent itself folded easily and was stored in it&#8217;s bag.  The bags can easily be stored in a closet, or under a bed, so they don&#8217;t take up much space.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="http://www.discountschoolsupply.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?newdssredirect=true&amp;product=28285&amp;category=178&amp;CategorySearch=&amp;Brand=&amp;Price=">tent</a> is designed to look like a house, with windows, and all the embellishments to make it look realistic.  The doorway to the tent was even large enough for me to climb into and have a look around.  I believe this tent would be sturdy enough to play with on a patio or porch, but it&#8217;s definitely not for long term use outdoors.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Overall my children are very satisfied with this cute tent from Discount School Supply, and I am too.  The price isn&#8217;t too expensive, and it is great for rainy day&#8217;s inside, or imaginative play.  Check out all the fun toys, furniture, and other items you can find at <a href="http://www.discountschoolsupply.com/">Discount School Supply.</a></p>
<address style="text-align: justify;">I received a playhouse tent at no cost to me from Discount School Supply for review purposes.  I have not been monetarily compensated in any way for my post, all  the opinions are mine!</address>

<p>My spoiled little girl Mika just received a cute little swimmer doll recently.  I instantly liked the idea behind the Go! Go! Sports Girl doll, and it is a perfect mix of doll, and sports for my little tomboy.  Another great thing about the Go! Go! Sports Girl dolls is that they encourage girls to be athletic, and involved in fun activities that sometimes girls are hesitant about joining.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a rel="attachment wp-att-2461" href="http://lizzydearslife.net/2010/07/go-go-sports-girl-review.html/img_0066"><img class="size-medium wp-image-2461 aligncenter" title="IMG_0066" src="http://lizzydearslife.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/IMG_0066-375x500.jpg" alt="" width="375" height="500" /></a></p>
<p>The Go! Go! Sports Girl dolls have been featured on The Today Show, and I can see why.  The soft plush doll is darling, and comes with a few accessories that suit her sport.  Each of the eleven choices of dolls has her own name, and assigned sport.  There is sure to be a doll for every little girl.  Whether your child is in to basketball, softball, swimming, golf, dance, or even gymnastics, there is a doll for her.  Another benefit to the Go! Go! Sports Girl Dolls is that they encourage confidence, a healthy lifestyle, and to dream big.  These are attributes I hope my daughter grows in to. Please check out all of the fun <a href="http://www.gogosportsgirls.com/">Go! Go! Sports Girl Dolls</a> on their site.</p>
<address>I received a Go! Go! Sports Girl Doll at no cost to me, for review purposes, all opinions are mine, and I haven&#8217;t been monetarily compensated whatsoever.</address>
