The Lovely Candy Company Review & Giveaway

January 19, 2014 Trent Rand

Lovely Candy Company was started when Jackie asked her husband, Mike, to go on a quest to find her favorite candy... licorice. Here's was a special request. It had to be consciously crafted with select ingredients, gluten and gmo free. What began with licorice, evolved into additional family favorites. The Lovely Candy Company was started with hopes to sweeten a lovely wife's' and families' world - and your's too!

I love Lovely Candy Company because I can now eat a super yummy gluten free treat.
Not only is the candy gluten free it also contains
No soy, corn, wheat,artificial anything!

I have a sweet tooth from time to time and love to be able to eat a candy I know is good for me and ok to eat. Most all sweet treats I find are not gluten free. You all know I do my best to eat gluten free. So when I came across Lovely Candy Co.'s
Caramels I fell in love.

Each bag contains individually wrapped sweet Caramel goodness. They are not sticky like some caramels I have had and each is apx. 40 calories (for those of you that count calories) When you unwrap the cute lovely wrappers you can smell a sweet caramel treat that you can't wait to pop into your mouth. You will fall in love with the first one like I did. I love caramels and now I absolutely love Lovely Candy Co.'s Caramels.
Not only do they sell Caramels they also sell:

* Chocolate Swirl Caramels

* Fruit Chews (Apple, Cherry, Blackberry)

* Super Fruit Chews (Cranberry, Raspberry, Blueberry)

Each candy is true to it's name. The Fruit Chews are sweet and very fruity. I am usually not a fan of fruit treats but these are yummy. I like to suck on them as if they were a hard candy, lol they sort of melt in your mouth. I have limited myself to 4 candies a day. If I had it my way the whole bag would be gone in one sitting. I did put some out in a bowl on my living room table for when my kids were over. Both my son's girlfriends loved them. They asked where I got them. I sent one of my son's girlfriends back home to Canada with a small bag full. She was happy.

You can purchase all of Lovely Candy Co.'s treats ONLINE or at a STORE NEAR YOU.

NeoCell Beauty Bursts Soft Chews Review & Giveaway

January 16, 2014 Trent Rand

NeoCell's a great company who's commitment to making collagen support products with the highest quality ingredients meets the strict criteria of today's health conscious individual. For 25 years, they've helped so many people worldwide live healthy and active lifestyles.

I was so excited when Jean sent me NeoCells's Fruit Beauty Burst,
Gourmet Collagen Soft Chews
After trying the sweet chews for 2 weeks now and so far like what I see.

Beauty Bursts are designed to Feed Your Skin With Delectable
Bursts of Nutrients!

Having beautiful & radiant skin has never been so easy- or so delicious. NeoCell Beauty Bursts deliver high absorption beauty nutrients in delectable, gourmet soft chews. Collagen Type 1 & 3 is the body's beauty protein & strengthens skin, hair & nails. Hyaluronic Acid is know as "Nature's Moisturizer" & hydrates the skin. Vitamin C is essential to boosting collagen in the skin. Together, these three beauty nutrients work together to build beautiful skin from the inside out.

I have noticed a huge difference in my nails. I have never been one to have long or strong nails unless they were fake. Mine just never grown, I now in my adult life know it's due to my thyroid. I never figured I would have long strong nails and sort of gave up till I started using Beauty Bursts. My nails are now strong and the longest they have ever been. I can actually file them and put polish on. This is something I have never really done.
My hair is also stronger. I seem to loose less hair with each brushing and it has a shine to it. I usually only got that shine with lots of hair products. In my 2 weeks so far of eating 2 soft chews a day I am very happy with the results.
My biggest thing I have noticed with the Beauty Bursts is my circulation. I used to use a different NeoCell product daily to help with night leg cramps (Hyaluronic Acid) and it really worked but since I started the Beauty Bursts I have stopped taking the acid and I still notice a huge difference in my legs not cramping up at night. These small fruit chews have all around done very good for my body....
My skin is also glowing, I don't have many fine lines or wrinkles but the small amount I did have a less noticeable. My face has that special glow to it that I just love.

By the way ~ each fruit chew is only 40 calories but it's 40 of the yummiest calories you will eat all day.

Click HERE to find a retailer online that sells Beauty Bursts
or buy them at a store near you there is a list of stores on this same link.

One Lucky Person will win a bag of NeoCell's Beauty Bursts.

ToiletTree Rechargable Oral Irrigator Review

January 16, 2014 Trent Rand

ToiletTree sells some wonderful products for you to use in the bathroom. From fogless mirrors, grooming products, toiletry travel bags and more. I was able to review ToiletTree's Rechargable Oral Irrigator.

Before I tell you about the product I would like to tell you a little about ToiletTree.
ToiletTree Products began with a simple holiday gift from Mom. After receiving a fogless mirror as a Christmas present in 2008, Steven, who had always loved the concept of shaving in the shower, made it his mission to redesign the mirror that failed to stand up to its claims of being fog-free and unshakable wall adherence. Fed up with frustration and uneven shaves, Steven joined forces with his father and brother to design a mirror that not only stayed attached to the wall, but, most importantly, guaranteed a fogless face for life!

After many long months of brainstorming and testing prototypes, the trio took their design to manufacturing in January of 2010, where ToiletTree Products was finally born. A fun play on the word ‘toiletry,’ the company takes its name from the category in which their creations fall: bathroom products! In only a mere six months, ToiletTree’s Fogless Shower Mirror made its debut on Amazon.com, earning the title of Amazon’s #1 top-selling beauty product by Christmas of 2010. Due to the overwhelming number of customer requests, ToiletTree’s Fogless Shower Mirror expanded its line to include the Deluxe LED Mirror, as well as one fit for travel and On-The-Go. Today, ToiletTree Products rounds out its brand with the addition of other new essential bathroom products including nail clippers, face cleanser, oral irrigator and a collection of Bamboo bathroom accessories. A family-run company, ToiletTree Products takes great pride in providing consumers with unique and innovative products of only the highest quality.

Now about the Rechargable Oral Irrigator.
I had never before used an irrigator to clean my teeth. I had only seen them in the stores and friends bathrooms. I always wondered what they did and how you used it. After receiving my ToiletTree Oral Irrigator I plugged it in to charge for a few hours and once it was fully charged I started using it.
I will say it would of been easier if there was a video on the site to show you how to use the Irrigator, but after watching a youtube video I found I figured it out.
Oral Irrigator is an easy and effective alternative to flossing. Now you can reach places brushing simply cannot and promote healthier teeth and gums from the comfort of your home.
I loved the way my teeth felt after using my Oral Irrigator. I could tell they were cleaner then when flossing. I now use my Irrigator 2-3 times a week. My in-between my teeth have never been so clean.

Professional Oral Irrigator Features:

-Cordless design powered by a rechargeable and long lasting battery.
-Large capacity water tank.
-3 operating modes for varying oral care needs: Normal, Soft, & Pulse.
-Nozzle rotates 360 degrees to reach all areas of your mouth.
-2 interchangeable nozzles included for multiple users.
-Available in 3 colors: White, Gray, and Black.

Professional Oral Irrigator Benefits:

-Easier and less abrasive than flossing.
-Helps with fighting plaque and gingivitis.
-Promotes healthier gums by flushing out bacteria from deep pockets along the gum line.
-Promotes a cleaner mouth and prevents bad breath.
-Especially effective in cleaning around braces, implants and bridgework.

Product Details:

2nd generation deisgn powered by rechargeable batteries – Universal Voltage: 100 to 240V~50/60Hz

10% larger water tank than our original version

Three operating modes for varying oral care needs: Normal Soft and Pulse

Rotating interchangeable nozzles great for multiple users

Provides and easy and effective way to support proper teeth and gum health at home

We store the Oral Irrigator in my boyfriends bathroom. Since it comes with 2 different heads both of us can use it.

You too can get a ToiletTree Oral Irrigator from Amazon.com for only $39.95 with FREE Shipping.

You, Your Teeth and Gums will be HAPPY you did.

Sneaky Pete's Oat Beverage Review & Giveaway

January 16, 2014 Trent Rand

If your looking for a excellent fruit drink with less calories then Sneaky Pete's OAT Beverage is the right beverage for you.

Sneaky Pete’s is the first refreshing oat based beverage, which tastes great. Now there is a refreshing way to easily get the fiber your body needs in a great tasting, fruit flavored, heart healthy, oat based beverage that is low in calories and all natural. Sneaky Pete’s contains 3 grams of dietary oat fiber in each 12 ounce bottle.
If your wondering why Sneaky Pete's puts oats in a beverage, there has been scientific studies that concluded that oats contain a special kind of soluble fiber that has been found to be especially effective in lowering cholesterol.
What is the difference between grain and fiber?
Any food made from wheat, rice, oats, corn, or another cereal is a grain product. Bread, pasta, oatmeal and grits are all grain products. There are two main types of grain products: whole grains and refined grains. Whole grains contain the entire grain – the bran, germ and endosperm. Examples include whole-wheat flour, oatmeal, whole cornmeal, brown rice and bulgur. Dietary fiber is sourced from whole grains, and as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. The oat bran concentrate in Sneaky Pete’s provides 3g of dietary fiber and 2g of soluble fiber per bottle.
Why are grain and fiber so important to the body?
Eating whole grains provides important health benefits: Whole grains are generally good sources of dietary fiber; most refined (processed) grains contain little fiber. Dietary fiber from whole grains, as part of an overall healthy diet, helps reduce blood cholesterol levels and may lower risk of heart disease. Fiber-containing foods such as whole grains help provide a feeling of fullness with fewer calories. This benefit helps in managing your weight.
How does Sneaky Pete’s help me with my fiber intake?
Sneaky Pete’s contains 3grams of Fiber in every bottle, which is equal to eating a bowl of oatmeal. Over 50% of adults and 90% of children do not take in the daily fiber they need.

When I first received my Sneaky Pete's OAT Beverage I thought it sounded odd and therefor it would taste gross. I was very wrong. After refrigerating my OAT Beverages for several hours I tried the Apple one, to my surprise it was EXCELLENT. I was thinking there would be a yucky fiber taste or it would be thick. It was neither of those things. All flavors can be drank room temperature, heated or chilled. It is recommended that once you open the bottle you should refrigerate what you don't drink, but trust me you will drink it all. Each Sneaky Pete’s contains a total of 3 grams of dietary oat fiber in each 12 ounce bottle. 2 grams are heart healthy soluble fiber.

For those of you that eat Kosher or Vegan Sneaky Pete’s is certified both Kosher (OU) and vegan.
The bottles will promote these certifications.

Did I mention each bottle is ONLY 40 calories

Sneaky Pete's OAT Beverage comes in 5 delicious flavors.

APPLE: An Apple a Day keeps the doctor away, giving you a fiber and flavor-packed drink. Check out all 5 Oatstanding flavors and enjoy sneaking a little more fiber, and less calories into your diet!

GRAPE: Grape Escape Escape the everyday grape juice and sneak a fiber-licious Sneaky Pete’sinstead. Check out all 5 Oatstanding flavors and enjoy sneaking a little more fiber, and less calories into your diet! (without sacrificing taste…ssshhh…that is what is so sneaky)

You can find everything you need on one site.
Since I think just about everyone on my site is female I will keep my review to female products that LubeZilla sells.
They have tons of stuff in the For Her category. Every kind of Lube you can think of. You can search by brand, base ingredient, lube function or category. Sometimes there are things you want to do in the privacy of your bedroom that you don't need everyone knowing about. Lubezilla allows you to do these things without the world knowing.

Why not go all out and try a little something different in the bedroom. Most women are scared to try anal sex thinking it might hurt but Lubezilla takes that fear away with 3 great products. Crazy Girl Wanna Be Daring Anal Ease Gel,
Intimate Organics' Adventure Anal Relaxing Spray & Pjur Analyse Me! Anal Relaxing Spray like ALL Lubezilla products no one but you will know you ordered from beginning to when it comes to your door. When you're feeling adventurous, preparation is key. Intimate Organics' Adventure gives you a safe way to relax before anal experimentation. It's an all-natural spray with certified organic ingredients, and whether you're experienced or experimenting for the first time, it's a must-have product for keeping your anal adventures safe and comfortable.
Adventure is designed to relax the muscles around the anus, allowing for easier, more comfortable penetration. Unlike other anal sprays, it does not contain any lidocaine or benzocaine. These numbing ingredients can put your body at risk by preventing you from feeling pain, and they also prevent you from feeling pleasurable sensations during anal play.
This spray is different. It uses clove bud, cymbopogon schoenanthus extract, and other natural ingredients to relax your muscles and tendons without any numbing sensations. It also has a pleasant orange scent, and it's easy to clean off with soap and water Intimate Organics' Adventure is latex-friendly and safe to use with sex toys.
Tried it, It works great. The bottle is small but trust me unless you are having anal sex daily it will last for a long time. You just use a small amount each time.

Why not start off the New Year with trying something New and Different in the bedroom. It might start a new adventure in your relationship that you always wanted but didn't know how to get it started.

In the For Her categoryLubeZilla also has for Her Condoms & Body and Beauty items. I think this is a great site. Especially if you were always leery about going out and buying this type of thing. All the prices at LubeZilla are very reasonable and shipping seems to be very fast. I have shopped in some local Adult Shops in my town and the prices LubeZilla offers are wonderful compared to in the store. Plus you can site in the privacy of your own home and read about each and every product you are looking to buy. All have full descriptions and tell you what they are made of, what they are for and how to use them.

Almondina Review & Giveaway

January 12, 2014 Trent Rand

Almondina® - The Delicious Cookie Without the Guilt, this all-natural, crispy almond cookie has no cholesterol and no added fat, salt, or preservatives and has only 30 calories.
Almondina comes with a great history.
Let me tell you a little about who they are and how they got started. Almondina® is the inspiring success story of a man whose great loves include both music and wonderful food. For generations his family loved his grandmother Dina’s most secret cookie, which she called Petit Gateau Sec. Yuval Zaliouk, an internationally known symphony conductor and gourmet chef, always had a special place in his heart (and stomach) for this exquisite, crispy wafer with the delicate flavor of roasted almonds and the natural sweetness of plump raisins. Long after his grandmother’s death, Zaliouk became aware that the remarkable characteristics of this addictively delicious but extremely nutritious cookie fell squarely in line with the growing demands of health-conscious buyers at the end of the century. Within seven years having started baking in his kitchen, the cookies, renamed Almondina® for his grandmother, were available in all fifty states, sought after in seven foreign countries, and had brought him recognition as Entrepreneur of the Year.

This wonderful cookie was born: This all-natural, crispy almond cookie has no cholesterol and no added fat, salt, or preservatives. It is wonderfully crunchy and does not have to be dipped. It is a delightful accompaniment for coffee, tea, soft cheeses and fine light wines. The rush to eliminate fat from gourmet foods too often has also eliminated most of the flavor, a fact which is in sharp contrast to this enticingly delicious cookie.
At only 30 calories a cookie you can eat 3 for less then 100 calories and feel no guilt. I love my Almondina dipped in coffee or hot coco, but I also enjoy them plain. We have taken on hiking trips, long car rides and just in case we get hungry snack for a long day out of the house. EXCELLENT snack. The taste of each one is as the package states the flavor. They come in a wide variety of flavors.
My favorite of them all was the AlmonDuo®, thin crisp cookie packed full of
almonds and pistachios. LOVE this one!

~ Original - America's all natural favorite with almonds and raisins

~ Chocolate Cherry - We combined the world's finest dark chocolate

with plump cherries to produce an irresistible, decadent treat without guilt.

~ Choconut - Rich tasting crunchy chocolate, but low in calories

~ Cinnaroma® - The original biscuit for cinnamon lovers

~ Gingerspice - Trend setting, with chunks of Australian ginger

~ AlmonDuo® - Double-nut wonder with almonds and pistachios

~ Anniversary - Award winning delight with a touch of anise

~ BranTreats® - Made with oat bran and the finest cinnamon "Cookies For Breakfast"

~ Sesame - Irresistible, exotic, flavorful

~ Seasonal Pumpkin Spice - A seasonal attraction with a delightful touch of fall spices combined with the highest quality almonds and pepitas (pumpkin seeds) My second FAVORITE

NEW LINE: Including new products:

~ Chocolate Dipped – the Original® dipped in the finest, pure, rich dark chocolate was

previously offered only certain times of the year is now available year round

~ Delights – The Original® Almondina totally encased in Milk chocolate

~ Yogurt Dipped – Brantreats® dipped on one side with a layer of all natural yogurt

Pork Chomps Review & 2 Winners Giveaway

January 5, 2014 Trent Rand

Pork Chomps are The World’s Most Perfect Chew for dogs.
Pork Chomps are more digestible than rawhide because they are made from skin not hide. Rawhide was just an inexpensive byproduct of the cattle industry, and virtually has no flavor on its own. That is why most rawhide is basted, stuffed or sugarcoated, in order to interest pets. Pork Chomps are also better than rawhide chews for dogs because of Scott Pet’s proprietary, patented expanding process wherein 70% of the pork’s fat is removed, creating a more natural dog chew that is a cleaner product with reduced grease and odor.
Pork Chomps are naturally delicious; that’s why dogs chose them 9 to 1 over ordinary rawhide in an independent taste test.

My dogs Molly & Jacky love their Pork Chomps treats. Molly smelled right through the package when it arrived. I set the box on the ground and opened it up, Molly grabbed the 1st bag and tried to run off with it. She was in puppy heaven. After opening the whole box up and seeing what Pork Chomps sent us I gave the girls each one treat. After about a week we figured out they both love the Pork Chomps Bacon Mini Twists. My dogs are small, both under 15lbs so they have smaller mouths. The Bacon Mini Twists were as they read "mini" they are the perfect size for small dogs mouths. You get 30 twists in a package for $7.99 I think that's a great value and each twist last my dogs each a few days. They are bacon flavored chew and the best part is they don't stain your carpets, like some dog treats I have purchased in the past.

My dogs other favorites were the Pork Chomps Baked Stripz they too are smaller for little dogs mouths. The package just contains pig skins, nothing more so you know what your dog is chewing on. I love that these treats have no odor. They make for a perfect baked treat for your dog. The 10oz bag comes packed full of treats for only $14.99 if you have dogs like mine this bag will last for a long time.

Molly my mini dachshund loves the Pork Chomps Premium Mini Sweet Potato Twistz, Jacky likes them too but any treat that contains sweet potatoes makes her throw up. So we try our best not to give them to her. This treat contains real sweet potatoes that are wrapped around pork skin. Your dog will enjoy this treat. 12 come in a package for $11.99 and like all the other treats they last for some time if you have smaller dogs.

I was very impressed with all the products I/my dogs received from Pork Chomps. I like that they are what they say on the package, making for a healthy treat for your pets. Everything Pork Chomps sells is 100% Rawhide Free. Pork Chomps has been around since 1975 creating innovative products that help pets lead quality lives. That is also their goal.

Reasons why Pork Chomps are better then Rawhide's:
Even if your dog doesn’t seem to have problems with rawhide, it doesn’t mean he’s feeling his best. Rawhide, which is nearly impossible to digest, stays in the system for days, seriously gumming up the works. It’s uncomfortable – and in some dogs, it can cause severe blockages, which require surgery.
Thankfully, you can give your dog what he loves without sacrificing his digestive health.
Laboratory tests show that Pork Chomps are much easier to digest than rawhide, dissolving up to twice as fast as rawhide in dogs’ digestive enzymes.

Pork Chomps can be purchased online or from many local retailers near you. You can click HERE to find a store near you.

Enter below for your dog to have a chance to try Pork Chomps Products.
Two winners will be selected to win 2 bags each of Pork Chomps Products.
Good Luck Everyone!

First, a little about Guylian:
Guylian is the world’s favorite Belgian chocolate. Guylian “ultra-indulgent” luxurious chocolate seashells are 100% pure, silky smooth, dark and white Belgian chocolate and are filled with our rich & creamy signature hazelnut filling. The Guylian brand dates back to the late 1950’s when Guy Foubert, a passionate Belgian chocolatier married his love, Liliane, who then joined names creating Chocolaterie Guylian. Today, Guylian crafts the finest authentic Belgian Chocolate Truffles, utilizing the original handmade recipe of Guy and Liliane. Our original signature truffle recipe is still made in small-batch copper kettles exclusively by Guylian’s Master Chocolatiers in Sint-Niklaas, Belgium.

Now for the review and giveaway!

The photos above show everything that I received from Guylian. As you can see, there is a lot of it there. I was greatly surprised by the generosity of this company. One very lucky Simple Side of Life reader is going to win some very delicious chocolates! Continue reading on to find out more about this wonderful company's luxurious chocolates, and how you can enter for a chance to win some for yourself!

The first thing that I noticed about this chocolate is that it is not your everyday grocery store chocolate. This chocolate is exquisite! They are still using the original chocolate recipe that has been unchanged for more than 50 years! Guylian Belgian chocolate is a unique recipe made only by Guylian in Belgium. Guylian uses 100% pure cocoa butter in their seashell chocolate truffles. The taste is rich and creamy and like no other. I love how they have marbled the Belgian white chocolate, dark chocolate, and milk chocolate together and added an amazing hazelnut filling creating the best chocolate you will ever taste. You will not fine any other chocolate that compares to this. This is definitely the best chocolate I have ever tasted. I also tried a piece of Guylian Belgian Chocolate paired with one of my favorite things, coffee. I melted a chocolate in a cup of cafe vanilla (K-Cup) and created a completely amazing flavor! Oh my gosh, there is seriously nothing like it! Since Guylian was so generous in how much they sent me and my family, there was plenty to share with friends and family. Everyone had the same opinion....Guylian Belguim Chocolates are superb!

Another thing to add, not only do they make amazing chocolates, they also care about marine conservation. When Guylian was founded, the maker of the world-renowned Belgian chocolates distinguished itself by creating chocolates in the shape of seashells. As a way of giving something back to consumers and the environment, Guylian has been the major sustaining sponsor of Project Seahorse, donating an annual fee to Project Seahorse, totaling over $1.5 Million since 1999. Every time you buy a box of Guylian Belgian Chocolates, you are supporting Project Seahorse. Project Seahorse is an international organization that aims to protect marine wildlife and stop the illegal trade in seahorses. If you are interested, you can learn more about Project Seahorse here.

Mayron's Goods Review & Giveaway

January 1, 2014 Trent Rand

Mayron's Goods makes wonderful natural & organic skincare for both children and adults. All the products have wonderful scents and come with great names like chapstuff and ouch stuff.
I love the red packaging it comes in and the bold lettering the wording has (making it easy to read)

I was able to try a few products from Mayron's and loved them all.
I was the most impressed with Ouch Stuff. At the time I received the products I had broken out with acne all over my chin and jaw line. It's very rare I break out but when I do it gets bad. I washed my face morning and night and applied Ouch Stuff on the lower part of my face, within one night my acne was dried up when I woke. I was so impressed. I kept using it every day for about a week. I noticed my skin was softer and smoother looking on my face. So from that day till now I am still applying the Ouch Stuff nightly to my whole face. ( I know this is not what it's for but it works for me so I will keep using it) I have also not broke out once since I started this nightly ritual.

The other product I liked was ChapStuff. Great product for this time of the year. My feet are always dry along with my hands (usually my knuckles) get so chapped and sometimes the skin cracks and it bleeds. I keep ChapStuff next to my bed and every night apply the deodorant like stick across my hands and feet. LOVE this product. It's made with Shea Butter and Cocoa and Orange concoction or Organic & Essential Oils. It smells great too, like all Mayron's products.

The absolute BEST smelling (not that they don't all smell good) product was the Tangerine Massage & Body Oil. I gave my boyfriend a massage using this and was in heaven the whole time from the smell. I must of rubbed his back for a hour and never got tired I just enjoyed the smell. The Tangerine Massage & Body Oil is a unique blend of Essential and Organic Oils like Tangerine, Orange, lavender and More, plus Vitamin E for healing and nurturing the skin. It went on easy and dried quick not leaving you a sticky mess.

You will love ALL of Mayron's products, they all are reasonably priced and last a long time. A little goes a long ways with each item i tried. The natural & organic to me is a big plus. So you actually know what your putting on your body or your child's.

Check Mayron's Goods out today!

One Lucky Viewer will get Mayron's Baby Oil, You will LOVE it! Good Luck Everyone!

scünci Review & Giveaway

December 10, 2013 Trent Rand

Glam up someone special in your life with scünci accessories. Or for yourself, you can finish off a holiday outfit with accessories from scünci
I got 3 wonderful products to glam up my own hair style. But of course as soon as I got them I cut 8 inches off my hair. So only one was really usable. But I loved them all and will use them once my hair grown back.

The 1st was scünci No Slip Circle Pony Clip- Allows you to come full circle and achieve the all-day hold you know and love, with a new feel! I would absolutely love this clip if my hair was long enough to keep in a pony, it almost is, most falls out right now. These Pony Clips are super cute and have great plastic griped pieces to hold the clip on any hair texture.

The 2nd clip I received is the scünci Bendini Clip with Jewel Dangle-Jewelry for your hair or bling for your holiday gift! scünci bendini clips add instant glam in just a bend and a snap! Super cute and perfect for any hair thick or thin. I love this clip. It actually holds in my shorter hair. I pull the sides back and twist my hair around, add the clip and let the jewels dangle down the side. Cute way to add some bling to your hair.

The last clip I received was the scünci Expandable Headband with Iridescent Finish- Effortless beauty adjusts to all hair types and textures. Love it, I guess I loved everything scünci. The headband has a neat finish that is sort of green, purple ton It looks cute in my dark brown hair. It expands to fit your head better, I think. I am not sure of the whole expanding part, I just fully extend it in my hair, but my boyfriend thought it was cute to try it in his hair and he only expanded it half way, it made for bigger triangle shapes on his hair. I guess it's for easy storage too. I really like this headband. It's not too heavy, sometimes headbands are too heavy and hurt my head. It will make for a cute accessory for any holiday outfit.

The above scünci® hair accessories are available in mass market and drug stores nationwide for a suggested retail value of $2.99-$4.99.

One lucky viewer will receive one of the above scünci product from winning my review. Good Luck Everyone!

Childrens AquaEars Review & Giveaway

December 8, 2013 Trent Rand

AquaEars are the perfect way for your child to protect their ears from water when swimming or bathing. Also perfect to protect ears from loud noises or when quiet time is necessary like study time.

My 80 year old boss loves these. I brought the Nemo AquaEars to her house when I got them to let her try them out. She hates when water gets in her ears when I wash her hair ( I do home health care) She usually uses a different brand of ear plugs for shower time, but agreed to try out AquaEars even though they were for kids. To our surprise these worked better then any other ear plug she has ever tried. They are bigger then the other brand so they completely fill the hole in her ear. Not allowing any water to get through. They worked perfect and she asked me to get her more. That means they get 5 stars from us. She is usually very hard to please.

AquaEars are soft, silicone earplugs to be used to protect the ears from water damage while swimming or bathing and for noise reduction. AquaEars are backed by the Good Housekeeping Seal.

Helps to prevent Swimmer's Ear by keeping water out of the ears

Crayon Rocks Review & Giveaway

December 5, 2013 Trent Rand

Crayon Rocks are super cute crayons shaped as rocks. Made by a women named Barbara Lee who taught special needs children for 23 years. She learned after a Handwriting Without Tears program how important it was to develop early a good tripod grip. Handwriting skills depend in it. Since a child's first writing tool is usually a crayon, that crayon should be one that encourages him or her to use thumb, first and second fingers in a tripod grip. This is what makes Crayon Rocks a wonderful tool for fine motor development.
I used my Crayon Rocks and thought they were excellent. Sometimes different brands of crayons fall apart easily or don't have good transfer to paper when drawing. I felt the Crayon Rocks took very little effort when putting color on my paper. They blended nice and didn't leave crayon dust or bumpy areas. Each Crayon Rock applied very rich colors and were easy to hold. So far they have lasted and not really worn out. I have used them numerous times.
Crayon Rocks would be good for any child. But I can see the benefits they would have for with grip strength problems or disorders effecting fine motor skills.

I received a red velvet bag with 16 Crayon Rocks in it. The colors were: red, pink, blue, sky, green, grass, dark yellow, light yellow, orange, peach, purple, light purple, brown, tan, black, gray. For only $8.95 these would make perfect stocking stuffers or an addition to any gift that has the need for coloring. There are other packs, check out Crayon Rocks for all the great packs they sell.

One Lucky viewer of this review will win the same 16 pack of Crayon Rocks, Enter Below for your chance.

Vinyl Disorder Review and Giveaway

You can decorate just about any smooth, hard surface with vinyldisorder.com's high quality vinyl stickers. And, they are made to last, with a 6+ years manufacturer rated outdoor life.

I ordered a beautiful wall quote for our living room that I am in love with! The quote is from the Book of John in the Bible that says, "My peace I give unto you, let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid."
- John 14:27
I absolutely love this quote and what it means, so I wanted to put it somewhere where we could see it often. I placed it on the wall in our living room and I think it looks fantastic. I couldn't be happier with it!

The vinyl decal was really easy to place on the wall. I just followed the simple instructions and in no time, our wall had a beautiful message that looked great! I wanted to get some "during application" photos, but I was the only one home when I applied this great decal to the wall and I needed both hands during the process. But, I do have "before" and "after" photos for you.

Here is my wall before:

And, here it is after!

I have a much larger wall in my office that is nothing but empty space right now and I am planning on ordering a giant wall quote for that room as well.

Vinyl Disorder is offering one of our readers their own vinyl decal. You will be able to order up to a 15" decal (No specialty vinyl) of your choice!

UberMom Review

December 4, 2013 Trent Rand

UberMom is a super cute site that sells designer containers called wipebox that hold wipes and small packets of tissues.
The containers are perfect for your purse, your child's backpack, car or gym bags.
UberMom wipeboxes come in two sizes the larger one that holds wipes is 8.25" long x 4.25" wide x 1" high perfect fit for regular baby wipes. The smaller container is 4.75" long x 2.75" wide and 1" high perfect for small packets of tissues or to keep smaller wipes moist. Both containers are made from recycled polypropylene and can easily be washed with mild soap and water when needed.

They both come in super cute patterns so you can pick out with suits you or your child. My favorite is the Orange Owl wipeboxes. They are yellow/orange in color with a cute brown owl with orange eyes on the front. I carry my wipebox mini in my purse everyday with a small packet of tissues in it. My regular size wipebox happily lives in my car, full of wipes and is used and refilled at least once a week. It's perfect for when were out and about and need to clean our hands. I love that the UberMom containers seal tight so my wipes don't dry out.

UberMom sells the Mini WipeBox & Regular Wipebox for $6.99 each they make for great stocking stuffers.

5Sparrows Chocolate, Frappe & Chai Review & Coupon Code

December 4, 2013 Trent Rand

5Sparrows is offering all my viewers a 20% discount that will be good until Dec 31, 2013
The code is ‘simpleside’ all lower case.

5Sparrows sells wonderful Chocolate, Frappe and Chai drink mixes.
All are naturally sweetened with stevia. You will love each and every flavor 5Sparrows sells.
They can be mixed easily into milk or coffee. Since I don't drink milk I did the next best thing and mixed mine into almond milk. Of course it was just as good.

The best part for me is they are all gluten free. So for me they were a great treat.

5Sparrows sent me a few different flavors to try. My favorite of the 3 was Monumental Spiced Chai. I have always liked anything chai flavor, but 5parrows is now one of my favorite. I mixed the packet with 16oz of hot almond milk and drank every bit of it. Monumental Spiced Chai is bold and creamy it is bound to become a favorite in your circle. Carefully blended spices, organic black tea and pure cane sugar are combined to impart well rounded flavors and a warm, spicy finish. 5Sparrows Chai is designed to bring joy to the most sophisticated of palates.
My second favorite was House Chocolate. I actually shared this one. Rich and smooth 5Sparrows all-natual House Chocolate is a revolution in decadence. A blend of cocoa, pure cane sugar and real vanilla artfully combines to wow the most discriminating chocolate lover. Made from a blend of cocoa, pure cane sugar and real vanilla. Any chocolate lover will love House Chocolate.
My last favorite was Sugar Free House White Chocolate. I am not a fan of white chocolate but did like the taste of the coco. I added it both in milk and saved some to add in my coffee. I liked the taste of it better in my coffee- decaf of course. It has a perfectly sweet yet creamy taste of white chocolate.

Another good part of all 5Sparrow products is they either
sugar or sugar free so you can choose what best suits you.
The products I tried were all sugar free

Here is the lowdown on Stevia:
Stevia is made from a plant that is a member of the daisy family. It is an all-natural sweetener with zero calories, zero carbs and a zero glycemic index value (it doesn't impact blood sugar levels when processed through your body). The stevia in our product is a purified form, known as Stevia SG95.

Xylitol is a natural, plant derived substance that looks and tastes very similar to sugar but has less than 1/2 of the calories of sugar. It has a low glycemic index as it obsorbes slowly into the blood stream and does not cause a spike like sugar . It is used to sweeten all kinds of chewing gum as it is known to reduce the incidence of tooth decay. Why isn’t Xylitol the natural sugar substitute of choice? It’s far more expensive than sugar or artificial sweeteners, and knowledge of the product is limited in the U.S.

Both stevia and xylitol have been popular in Japan and Europe for decades. Since they are naturally derived, there is no "sugar free" aftertaste and they are excellent natural alternatives.

5Sparrows is offering all my viewers a 20% discount that will be good until Dec 31, 2013

ShaveMOB is not only super cheap, they also offer FREE shipping on ALL orders and you get your razor in a 100% recyclable low impact packaging.

I received The Perfectionist Razor and Handle from ShaveMOB and loved it. I felt it was very high quality and soothed my legs and I shaved. The handle is very study and I like that it has grip type material on the bottom part to help so your hand doesn't slip when wet and soapy and cause you to cut yourself. It consists of 6 blades that help you get your legs shave quickly. Leaving your legs silky and smooth. The head part of the razor is flexible and moved to cut any part of your legs easily. It glides and bends over knee cap areas with ease. There are strips on the razor that contain aloe, Vitamin E and lavender oil. That is what leaves you with a silky smooth feeling after you shave.

Not only is this the perfect razor it comes with the perfect price. Only $3.33 a month.
