Review: It's Alive Pumpkin Light

noreply@blogger.com (nhertel85) — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 16:56:00 +0000

It's Alive! Pumpkin Light uses 3 super bright red LEDs to bring your pumpkin to life. 3 LEDs slowly pulse on and off, creating an organic "breathing" effect that gives your pumpkin a mind of it's own!

Show off your latest pumpkin creation with the proper lighting solution. Lighting can impact how well your jack-o'-lantern gets displayed. Pumpkin Masters offers a variety of lighting products including low-profile oversized tea lights, battery operated lights, strobe lights, and candles with holding anchors. Don't just use an ordinary candle with your extraordinary pumpkin.

We decorated our Halloween pumpkins last weekend and the night we received this product my son and I went out on the porch where we have our pumpkins and I put the It's Alive! Pumpkin light in and he was so excited. It looks great and the kids love it!

Review: Clinere Ear Cleaners

noreply@blogger.com (nhertel85) — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 17:08:00 +0000

The most widely used method of ear cleaning is by the use of cotton swabs. Cotton swabs generally always smear wax, dirt and debris back into the ear creating more of a dam condition than a Cleaned Condition. A story that describes the true performance of a cotton swab can go like this. A bucket of ice cream has a remainder of ice cream lining the sides of the container. A cotton swab is like trying to scoop that ice cream out of the container with the round end of a baseball bat. (A similar shape to the cotton swab.) Though the bat would have ice cream residue on it, it obviously wouldn’t work very well! It gets more interesting. The user actually gets rewarded with success when looking at the residue of earwax found on the cotton swab. Believing this has successfully cleaned the ear the user continues to do this nearly everyday. In fact, the cotton swab has more likely smeared most of the wax, dirt and debris back into the ear.

Cleaning the entrance area to the ear canal can sometimes help allow and support the ears naturally occurring ear canal migration of earwax and debris to continue out from within the ear. Clinere Ear Cleaners help scoop, scrape and extract this wax, dirt and debris from this area.

This product works wonderfully. I'm very impressed. I used to use Q tips on a daily basis but now I'm considering changing over to Clinere Ear Cleaners. They were able to clean over my ear instead of with Q tips just moving the wax around my ear. I also get at least 2 ear infections a year and I actually received these to review while I has a ear infection this helped get rid of wax from my ears draining.

WALMART • WALGREENS • CVS • MEIJER

Review: Sand Gone

noreply@blogger.com (nhertel85) — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 22:14:00 +0000

SAND GONE is a dry body powder that, when applied to sand covered skin, removes the sand and leaves the skin soft and smooth while feeling fresh and clean.

Sand Gone comes in an attractive eight ounce jar with a screw-able lid. Within the jar is a microfiber applicator. It is extremely soft but also durable. It can be cleaned by household washers and dryers when necessary. The applicator also has a strap across it to help secure it to the user's hand as the powder is applied.

The dry, white powder is both non-toxic and non-talc. It also contains a hint of coconut fragrance. Sand Gone is best used when cleaning up while leaving the beach. However, Sand Gone works perfectly well when cleaning up after the sand box, playground or wherever one encounters sand. It is like having a "dry shower" from a jar. In addition to removing the sand, Sand Gone also removes the salt from your skin after a day at the beach. No more uncomfortable "scratchy feeling" under clothing during the drive home.

After using Sand Gone, you will quickly find that it becomes one of those must-haves at the beach, sandlot or park. You will know to bring your sunblock and shades...but also your SAND GONE.

I recently tried Sand Gone. I really wish we had it back in June when we went to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! We used it at home though. My son has a sand table and it gets everywhere. So I used the sand gone before we went in the house and the sand was gone. I can't wait to use it on our next vacation!

Review: Meet The SqueeGees Cd

noreply@blogger.com (nhertel85) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 20:10:00 +0000

Rescuing legions of parents from the torturous children’s music of the past, provide an irresistibly playful musical adventure for the entire family. Parents love the positive messages emphasized in their songs, including environmental awareness, animal rescue, and healthy eating, while the band's younger fans have a blast singing and dancing along to such tunes as “Apples, Oranges and Peaches”, “Nala the Chihuahua”, “The Elements of the Earth”, “Making Noises”, and “Rules of the Road.” Featuring eco-conscious songs, liberating songs, sweet songs, and most of all, fun songs all arranged for vocals, acoustic guitar, and a shaker or two. All of their music is appropriate for infants, toddlers, and the parents and grandparents who love them.

My son and I just adore this "Meet The Squeegees ." We have listened to it two days straight in the car. His favorite song from the album is Bubbles. I really recommend this album for everyone that have young children.

You can purchase "Meet The Squeegees" at Target, target.com and Target at iTunes starting September 21st.

Review: Find A Way By Merril Hoge

noreply@blogger.com (nhertel85) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 18:15:00 +0000

From a young age, Merril knew it would be up to him to act on his dreams. He suffered abuse at the hand of his father, lost his mother at age 19, and was considered "too small and too slow" to play professional football.

He proved his critics wrong. Merril played eight seasons in the NFL before retiring in 1995 after a series of concussions. But in 2003, he faced his biggest challenge of all: cancer. Diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Merril took on chemotherapy with the same tenacity that got him to the NFL.

With every obstacle, Merril returned to the boyhood motto pinned on his bedroom wall: FIND A WAY. His experience is proof that what separates the extraordinary individual from the ordinary one is the will and determination to find a way to succeed. This book will chronicle Merril's personal battles, but it will also help others gain courage, resilience, and an undying spirit--motivating and inspiring readers to overcome any obstacle in their lives.

I'm a football fan so when I was asked to review this book I was excited even though my husband took the book and read it first. I thought it was a inspiring book showing how to overcome obstacles in your life because in all truth we all have gone through something life changing. So this book is great for everyone not just football fans!

Review & Giveaway: Golden Hustla by Wahida Clark

noreply@blogger.com (nhertel85) — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 22:14:00 +0000

All of Georgia law enforcement is aware that WMM Advertising-also known as "We Make Millionaires"-is one of the biggest and hardest-to-penetrate fraudulent telemarketing firms in the state. But when a tape recording of a man's death surfaces that may involve WMM, Atlanta homicide detective Danny Houser realizes that he may actually have the smoking gun needed to go after the firm. All he needs is someone inside WMM to sniff out the company's secrets. Soon he sets his sights on Alexis Greenspan, aka Nina Coles, the telemarketer's top sales associate. Approaching retirement, Houser will do everything in his power to manipulate Coles and solve this one last case...no matter who gets hurt in the process

Review & Giveaway: Dare to Take Charge by Judge Glenda Hatchett

noreply@blogger.com (nhertel85) — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 21:46:00 +0000

For nearly ten years, Judge Glenda Hatchett has delighted TV audiences with a brand of justice that turns the everyday into something eminently watchable.

Her message can be distilled into the following two words: Dare Yourself. Whatever obstacles or fears one faces, Judge Hatchett's prescription implores readers to write their own story in this life. With care and conviction, Judge Hatchett uses real life stories from the courtroom and her personal life to counsel readers. Shows them how to find their true purpose and gifts, to be real about their reality and its potential outside of challenging circumstances, and to always be true to themselves.

Interactive as well as inspirational, DARE TO TAKE CHARGE challenges the reader to ask self-reflective questions that lead to moments of self-discovery and a defined pathway to healing. Daring her audience to study the positive with the same interest and intensity that they study the negative, Judge Hatchett uncovers the potential for grace and success in lives that are now punctuated with despair and unfaithfulness.

This book was very inspirational to me to only think positive not negative. Anyone wanting to read a good uplifting book this is for you.

Review: Melissa and Doug Ramp Racer

noreply@blogger.com (nhertel85) — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 21:13:00 +0000

There's so much fun for everyone! The Ramp Racer is an exciting game of speed for one or two players! Choose the police car or the taxi, then individually release the starting levers and watch the wooden cars speed through colorful cityscapes and down the brightly colored wooden ramp.

Thanks to CSN stores for this awesome product! My son loves it! He plays with this toy constantly it's great with friends or just by yourself so that gives it an extra plus!
