Win With Blu Frog Energy Drink

2009-07-09T15:22:00.000-07:00

Have you heard of the BluFrog energy drink yet? I am a big fan of energy drinks but I am sort of picky what ones that I drink. From what I have read online, you can make money with this energy drink. You can't make money with the other energy drinks at the supermarket. What you will enjoy about this energy drink is you will not have a crash in energy as opposed to the many other energy drinks. This drink contains 80 mg of caffeine from Guarana, 10mg Choline Chloride, 1000mg of Taurine, 50 mg of Inositol, 200 mg of Quercetin, B vitamins, Tongan Limu Moui extract, Papaya puree, Mango puree, pear juice, and apple juice. Blu Frog is sweetened with only Fructose so it has only 68 calories and 17 grams of sugar and carbs. I am one that watches my carbs and most energy drinks are loaded with them.

If you are one that likes entering contests, right now you can enter to win some very cool prizes from BluFrog. You can win a BluGamer Ultimate Gaming Package, a Happy Blu Year trip to New York, a trip to Lollapalooza in Chicago, a Richard Petty Driving Experience in Florida or a trip to the Winter X Games in Aspen. Of all these prizes, I would want to win the trip to New York. I have lived in California all my life and have always wanted to take a vacation to New York.

There are three different ways that you can enter to win the BluFrog contest before it ends. You can leave a blog comment on the website telling which prize you would want to win. You can Tweet about it to your Twitter friends. You can also create a post on your blog about the contest and what prize you would want to win.

Haven's Sweet Scents Review

2009-07-09T14:13:00.000-07:00

Do you love using handmade bath and body products? I remember when I used to make my own handmade soaps to use and give for gifts. I recently received some soap from Haven's Sweet Scents for review. I received some of Haven's Lavender Natural Handmade Soap. I am a fan of the lavender scent, so I really enjoyed using this soap. It is made with saponified oils of olive, coconut, palm and castor. It also contains shea butter and lavender essential oil. After using this soap on my hands, it left them soft with a nice scent.

Haven's Sweet Scents offers a variety of natural handmade soaps. Some of these include rosemary peppermint, citrus explosion, sandalwood sage, orange, bergamot and honey oatmeal. Each of these bars are 4oz and sell for $5.95 per bar.

You can also find handmade skin care products at Haven's Sweet Scents too! You will find handmade lotions, bath salts, lip balm, lotion and lip bars. You can view the different products available by visiting her site at: http://havenssweetscents.webs.com

TSP Spices Review

2009-07-09T10:28:00.000-07:00

If you love to cook, I am sure you have seen many recipes that call for 1TSP of something that you may or may not have. There have been many of times where I have not been able to make a recipe I have found because I am missing one of the ingredients. When this happens, I will sometimes try to make the recipe without it or substitute it for something else.

There is an online store called TSP spices that sells spice in 1 teaspoon packages. I received a box of their organic Sweet Heat which includes 24 one-teaspoon packages of true cinnamon and crushed ancho chile pepper. The set comes with two cute little tins of 12 packages each of these two flavors. The organic "true" cinnamon has a lighter and more delicate flavor than your regular cinnamon you buy from the grocery store. If you love a little heat in your food, you are going to love the crushed Ancho chile.

I think the idea behind this company is genius. The products that they offer will also make a great gift for those of you that know people who LOVE to cook. They have a variety of spices you can choose from. They even have a whole set of their 24 different tins you can purchase. If you don't want to buy a set like the set of two I received, they sell each of their spices in individual tins of 12 packets. They have some of your favorite spices like organic coriander, organic cumin, organic dill weed, organic ginger, organic fennel seed, organic rosemary, organic sage and more.

You can view all their different products by visiting the TSP Spices website at: http://www.tspspices.com

Thinking Of Buying Another Vehicle

2009-07-08T18:51:00.000-07:00

With a family of six, I can't just buy any vehicle that I want. Most cute and affordable cars only seat four or five. When I had my son last year, we had to purchase a Tahoe SUV to fit my family. My SUV actually fits my whole family and a friend. The only bad thing about this vehicle is that it is a big gas hog. I think I am only getting about 12 miles to the gallon. I am lucky that I work from home and don't have to drive much, but when I do the gas goes pretty fast.

I am thinking of buying a second vehicle to use when my whole family is not with me. There are times when the kids are in school that I don't need to drive my SUV. I really like the new Chevy Camaro. I actually have wanted one of these for years. Out of all the vehicles I have owned, I have never owned a Camaro. My husband had a Honda Civic that got great gas mileage. I pleaded with him to keep it, but it just was not his style. Those cars are so economical that I wish we still had it. He ended up selling the Honda to buy an old classic car. Another thing that I have never owned is a Jeep. I am not sure what type of gas mileage those get, but they look like a fun vehicle to have for the summer!

Kids & Sports

2009-07-08T16:50:00.000-07:00

Out of all my children, I am hoping that my son is going to be interested in sports. My two oldest daughters are 12 and 10 and they have never had an interest in playing any type of sport. They are more for hanging out with their friends and playing video games. My daughter Hannah is about to be 5 and I am not sure if she is going to have an interest or not. Our neighbor's daughter plays softball, soccer, basketball and even karate. My son is only 1 1/2 so I have quite a way to go. I am hoping he will want to play baseball because I played softball when I was young. I will be able to him some baseball tips, whereas I have never really played any other sport besides in school.

Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters Review

2009-07-06T09:27:00.000-07:00

I am a big fan of anything granola. I even love granola cereal. When I received a box of Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters from MyBlogSpark to review, lets say I was a little excited. I received four different varieties of these tasty treats.

I thought I was going to be sneaky and hide the box of these granola nut clusters on the bottom shelf of my desk. That day I had to run an errand so I secretly grabbed a bag out from the box, put it in my purse and put the box back on the shelf. I didn't think anyone in my household would even notice because I get packages all the time. Well, when I came home my husband was sitting at my desk with another bag of nut clusters on my desk. I asked him "oh so you got into my snacks huh?". He told me he had watched me grab one out of the box and put it back so it had to be good. He had not had a chance to try the bag he grabbed so I gave him the bag of Nut Lovers that I had already opened. I read on the box that a serving size was about 4 1/2 of these so I ate 5. I wanted to save some for later because they tasted so awesome. Once I gave him the bag, it was all over. He ate the rest of the bag all in one sitting.

The next one I tried was the Roasted Cashews. While it was good, it still was not as good as the Nut Lovers flavor in my opinion. My husband is a big fan of cashews and preferred the Nut Lovers as well. We then tried the Honey Roasted Peanuts. I really enjoyed these and so did my kids. To my surprise, my three daughters were eating these just as fast as I was. The last bag I tried was the Roasted Almond. Since I love almonds, I found this one to be my second favorite.

While all four of these were very good, the Nut Lovers is our favorite and will be the one we will buy the most from the store. I will have to admit that these are very addictive. You probably will not just eat one serving as I first tried too.

I Am Finally An Auntie!

2009-07-05T15:25:00.001-07:00

I am happy to announce that I am officially an aunt! My sister-in-law just had my "first" niece a couple days ago. I have many cousins in my family, but since I am an only child, I have yet to be an aunt until now. I am so excited! One of my best friends is about to have a baby next month too! I also have another friend who is pregnant and due in a few months. It seems like more and more women are getting pregnant lately. While I am done having kids, it is always fun to have a new baby in the family.

My friend who is pregnant is having a baby shower next week. While I have got her a few gifts, I was thinking of getting something that will be special that nobody else probably has thought of yet. I did not do birth announcements with my son and would like to buy some nice birth announcements for my friend. There are so many different websites that provide this type of service. The site DoodlebugDezigns.com has some very cute designs that I am interested in. The only hard thing would be deciding on which design to choose.

PeaceKeeper Cause-Metics Review

2009-07-01T22:54:00.000-07:00

If you love to buy makeup, you are going to want to check out the products from PeaceKeeper Cause-metics. What makes buying cosmetics from this company different from any other is the fact that they donate their after-tax distributable profits to women’s health advocacy and urgent human rights issues. By buying your cosmetics from PeaceKeeper Cause, you are helping out a good cause! I received four different products from PeaceKeeper Cause-Metics.

The first product is the Peace-Keeper Nail Paint. I received the "Paint Me Tranquil" color. This is a neutral color which my daughters really liked. They have 9 different colors to choose from. Their nail paint has been rated by the Environmental Working Group as the Safest Paint-Based Natural Nail Polish. It is formaldehyde, toulene and animal testing free.

The second product is the Eco-Sensual Balm. This is an natural lip balm made of organic palm oils, organic extra virgin olive oil, candelilla wax, organic jojoba oil, organic coconut oil and other natural ingredients. This is a clear lip balm that really moisturizes your lips. It is so good it was the winner of the Healthy Beauty Awards Best Lip Balm! This is a product that even men can use! They even have a pink "Perfect As Is" lip balm that has organic rose flavor. I have not tried this one yet.

The third product I got to review is the PeaceKeeper Lip Gloss. One thing I noticed about this lip gloss was the fragrance. It actually smelled good. Normally lip gloss has a funny scent to me. I received their "Stillness" color. Stillness is a neutral peachy-beige and gold shimmer color. This stuff is light, creamy and looks really good on my lips! This stuff comes in five different colors.

The fourth product I reviewed is the PeaceKeeper Lip Paint. Lipstick is one thing that I love to wear. I have to apply a lip liner before I apply my lipstick though. I received the "Paint Me Intuitive" color. This actually is a color that I like to wear. I don't wear pink or red lipsticks, I prefer the brownish colors and wine colors. This lip paint is creamy and long lasting. It is currently available in 12 different colors.

PeaceKeeper also has a nail polish remover that I have not yet tried. If you are looking to purchase new lipstick, lip gloss, lip gloss or nail polish, check out their selection of products. You might feel better about your purchase if you know some of the money went to a good cause.

CoverBee Laptop Sleeve Review

2009-06-29T16:49:00.000-07:00

If you have a notebook or laptop computer, you probably want to keep it protected if you are to take it somewhere. I know when I take my laptop out of my home, I want to make sure it is protected as it is one of my most valuable possessions.

CoverBee has created some very cute and stylish laptop sleeves I have seen yet. I was lucky enough to receive one of their Posh Leopard Sleeves. It is so soft that I wish it was a sleeve for one of my pillows. The inside is made up of a quilted gold linen. When I received this, my daughter Hailey wanted one for her laptop. I think that may just be a nice item to put on my Christmas shopping list for her.

These stylish laptop sleeves come in a variety of designs. I happen to like all of them but favor the Posh Leopard design the best. They come in different sizes too, depending on the size of your laptop. Coverbee is located in Holland and offers FREE Shipping when you purchase on of their sleeves.

Cute Little Hummingbirds

2009-06-29T15:54:00.000-07:00

When I spot a hummingbird outside, I am always amazed with how fast their little wings are flapping. You don't get to watch them very long before they fly away. I recently had a sprinkler going in my backyard and was so amazed to watch this cute little hummingbird try to drink out of the water coming out of the sprinkler.

I was reading online that hummingbirds migrate. Their migration is part of their lifecycle and necessary for their survival. Now this was some information I never knew about these birds. Since I don't have a big dog in the backyard or any cats, I would like to buy some hummingbird feeders for my backyard. It would be fun to see if they come to my backyard to eat!

I Want A Pool Like NOW!

2009-06-27T17:34:00.000-07:00

Today is a very hot day here in California. I don't even want to leave my house because it is so darn hot. I have A/C in my SUV, but that means draining my gas tank going anywhere. I envy all of my friends and families that have pools in their backyards. I yearn to have a pool in my back yard, even if it is not a built in pool. There are many pools that are affordable now that are not the built in the ground.

If I had lots of money to spend, I would buy one of those aquatic therapy pools. Since swimming is very good exercise, I would definitely get my money out of it. HydroWorx has the ultimate pools for your home. They have the rehab pool and the swim spa. They are not in my price range now, but something I would want when I have the money!

Earth Mama Angel Baby Review

2009-06-27T11:04:00.000-07:00

If you love organic products, you are going to want to check out the Earth Mama Angel Baby website. They have a very neat and unique product line for pregnancy, labor ease, postpartum recovery, C-section, breastfeeding support and more. I wish I would have known about this website when I was pregnant this last time with my son. I would have loved to use some of the pregnancy products.

I received a bottle of the Happy Mama Spray. This is a naturally uplifting aromatherapy mist for morning sickness and "The Baby Blues". While I am not pregnant, I still enjoy using the spray while I am working to feel more relaxed. I love aromatherapy products. Happy Mama Spray is made with a safe, proprietary blend that includes lime and ginger pure essential oils. You can use on bed linens, in the air, or any time you can use a pick-me-up (especially if someone is howling to be picked up)! This stuff smells great!

Time To Start Gardening

2009-06-26T17:21:00.000-07:00

Now that it is getting hot, I am having to water my outside plants almost every day. I used to have just a few plants until my mom decided to bring me a ton of different plants in different size planters. I woke up one day to having about 10 times the amount of outdoor plants in outdoor planters than I had the day before. I have been wanting to plant some more bulbs in one of my flower gardens. I love when I plant something then I wait for months and a pretty flower blooms. I just love bulbs! I also have two big window box planters that need more plants.

I think I am going to pick a day this month to plant a bunch of new outdoor plants with my kids. I think they would enjoy watching flowers bloom that they helped plant. It will give us something fun to do for the day. I recently wrote an ebook on plants and learned a bunch of helpful tips while I was researching for the ebook.

Celebrity Deaths Today

2009-06-25T15:58:00.000-07:00

While I went to take my daughter to get something to eat, I had heard on the radio that Michael Jackson was in the hospital for cardiac arrest. When I got home I logged into Facebook to see posts that he had actually died. I then seen that Farrah Fawcett died as well as Jeff Goldblum. What a devastating day this has been for so many people. It is hard to believe that Michael Jackson is really dead. I was a fan of his when I was a child through my teen years.

My heart goese out to the friends and families for all three of these celebrities.

For The Stock Trading Moms

2009-06-25T11:08:00.000-07:00

I have never actually traded stocks and bonds besides the ones that were involved in my past 401k funds. I have family and friends that have made money in the stock market in the past. If I was to invest in stocks, I would need someone to show me the ropes.

If you want to do online trading, with Firstrade you can transfer for free. Dealing with an online broker might be an easy way to setup an account and start stock trading. What is cool is their program where you can earn $50 for referring a friend. This might be a way to make some extra money too! You can receive 100 free trades, $100 cash back, $100 transfer rebate and more.

Got Summer Plans?

2009-06-24T09:21:00.000-07:00

Now that summer is here I am going to be looking for fun things to do this summer with my family. I live in Northern California, so there are places we can visit, we just got to take a road trip. I could buy Angel Stadium Tickets if I wanted to drive to Los Angeles to watch the Angels play. There is a game scheduled for 7:05pm tonight, don't think I am going to make it. Or I could buy Dodger Stadium Tickets to watch the Dodgers play. There next game is on Friday. Not sure about that one either. Los Angeles happens to be an 8 hour drive. Now I might be able to get some Minute Made Park Tickets in August. We are thinking of flying with Hailey back to Texas in August and might just want to watch a game while we are there.

Do you have any exciting plans for the summer?

Which TV Service Do You Use?

2009-06-22T12:40:00.000-07:00

I have a family that loves to watch TV. We have to have more then just the basic channels. Our kids love to watch The Disney Channel, Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon.. I love to watch TNT, Lifetime and of course VH1 and MTV. Then my husband has his favorite. He loves to watch the Speed Channel. I am sure you know that you don't get these channels by just plugging in your tv set.

I recently was approached by someone who was a representative for Direct TV. He showed me the different channels that they had to offer. While they provided the channels that my family loves to watch, they also seemed to offer more. I was contemplating on switching over to Satellite Directv.

I am one that does not like too much change in my life unless it benefits my family. I currently use a different provider then DirectTV but was really thinking of changing. The salesman showed me how I could save by switching. While I am up for the savings, I still am not sure about changing my service. So I have to ask, which tv service do you prefer?

Very Cool Dry Erase Calendars

2009-06-20T19:13:00.000-07:00

When you have lots of stuff to calendar, the dry erase board calendars come in very handy. I just love these types of calendars because you don't have to buy them each year. You just wipe the month away and start over. I have been using these kind of calendars for years for my business.

I found a site online that has some awesome dry erase calendars. They have ones that have a business theme, but I love the animal themed calendars. They have a bunny, cat, dog and snake. It would be hard to pick which one I would want to buy. They even have specialty restaurant calendars too!
