October 24, 2016 By Marijean

I love to spoil my sweet kitty, Scarlet. She is a 2 year old furry ball of fun. I am always buying her new types of treats to try and new toys. I love how she actually plays with the cat toys I get her, and they don’t sit and collect dust. When I was asked to review a themed cat subscription box called WhiskerBox, I knew Scarlet would love it!

I was able to review the WhiskerBox Gift.

My box arrived very fast, and my kitty and I were very excited to open it and see all of the goodies inside!

This box was filled with the cutest cat items! It included an adorable Lion halloween costume, candy corn bowtie, 2 cat toys, cat treats, wet cat food, and even candy for us humans!

Scarlet loved checking out the box! She was sniffing like crazy at all the items.

Scarlet is ready for Halloween in her lion costume!!

Lots of goodies for one happy kitty!!

The items that came in the box were definitely of high quality. I will be ordering a subscription since this is such a fun way to treat my fur kid each month.

You can customize your box with replacing edible goodies with something non edible, and you can put in your cats weight for apparel sizing.

This is such a cute idea, and I am so happy that Scarlet and I were able to review this. What a great gift this subscription box would make for the upcoming holidays! Scarlet loved everything that came in the box, especially the cat treats! She went crazy over those. I am sure your kitty will also! Order your subscription here.

My review:

My two kids are big time Nickelodeon fans. Every time a new Nick Jr. show is aired they want to see it, each time a new episode comes out, they cannot wait! They were so excited when I told them about A Very Nick Jr. Christmas dvd. It is filled with all of their favorite shows. Perfect to watch for this holiday season. My 8 year old daughter loves the Shimmer and Shine show, so she was glued to the TV for “Santa’s Little Genies” and my son loves Wallykazam and Bubble Guppies! Each episode is full of fun graphics and amazing color. Your children will be sure to love it. Makes a great gift for the holiday season!

Make Sure your Kids are Safe with AngelSense Guardian Review

September 21, 2016 By Marijean

I have 2 young children (ages 8 and 5), we love to travel and they love to go outside to play with friends. I always worry about what would happen if my child was separated from me, or the worst fear…is kidnapped. I had the opportunity to review a GPS tracking device called AngelSense Guardian.

AngelSense Guardian protects children with special needs using a GPS and Voice Monitoring system. This device is perfect for parents and guardians who want to know where their child is at all times. The AngelSense Guardian Kit comes with a GPS device, embedded SIM card, customized wearables and a magnet key for the parent.

The AngelSense Guardian Kit is on sale right now for $59! Activation is free right now as well as shipping, and the monthly service plan is only $39.99 per month.

The monthly service plan includes:

Unlimited SMS and email alerts
Unlimited users
Listen-in with a single click
Expert support by special needs moms
Anytime access with iOS, Android and web

*After the 30-day money back guarantee period, your subscription is a 1-year contract.Additional accessories can be added after you complete your account setup.

Once you place your order you will receive an email. This email will contain important information, such as user name and password for the app. It will also give you instructions for when you receive the device. When I received my kit I looked over the included instructions. I charged the phone by a window as told and let it charge for about 8 hours. I downloaded the app on my iPhone and was ready to try it out. My daughter was heading to school the next morning and to gymnastics so I put the device in the sleeve and attached it to her shorts. She complained a bit saying it was heavy the first 2 days of wearing it, but then she was used to it. On days she wears dresses I put the device in a zipped pocket in her backpack. I receive email alerts and text alerts when she leaves the house, and arrives at a location. You can name each location and it will save and show up as that location. The app is really great!! My daughter is in a portable at school and when I use the “Google Earth” view on the app, I can actually see exactly which portable she is in. Really neat! I can also see when she goes to recess and moves around in the school. It really is nice knowing she is safe at school. When she comes home and I know she is home for the rest of the day, I charge the device to make sure it is ready for the morning. I also get text and email alerts letting me know when the battery is low.

I also have my daughter wear this device when she goes to friends houses, when we go to stores, and especially when we go to Amusement parks/Museums/Zoos. It really gives me a piece of mind that if we get separated, I can look on the app and see her location.

There are many GPS devices on the market right now. Many are the watch type ones that you may think are easier. What I love about AngelSense Guardian is that this device is hidden on the child, and you don’t have to worry about it falling off. My worst fear is having my child kidnapped and the kidnapper seeing the watch and removing it.

I am really loving using the AngelSense Guardian. I have a piece of mind knowing where my child is, wherever she may go. I highly recommend this device for your child/children!

Your Home Will Smell Wonderful This Holiday Season With Pink Zebra! Review and Giveaway #PinkZebra

September 16, 2016 By Marijean

You may recall that a few months ago that I had reviewed a line of home fragrance called Pink Zebra Soaks. I absolutely fell in love with Soaks and the company, so I decided to review their candle line. Let me introduce you to the world of Pink Zebra Sprinkles!!

So, what is a “Pink Zebra Sprinkle” you may ask? The Pink Zebra Sprinkles are a soy-based wax made up into tiny sprinkles. They can be used in many different ways and combinations to bring fragrance to your home. These sprinkles are completely non toxic, so if your pet or young child ends up ingesting them, they will be perfectly fine! They are available in 3.75 oz jars or 16 oz cartons. Sprinkles are available in many scents! From floral to baked goods, you will find a perfect scent for your home. Each jar is $8 and each carton is $25. Pink Zebra also offers a scent of the month called “Paisley’s Pick.” The month of September is Candy Corn!! You can also create you own custom fragrance. That is one of the best things about Pink Zebra in my opinion. I love to mix sprinkles and see what scents I can come up with!

Simmering Lights:

Now, what can you do with these Sprinkles? Well, many things! First, let me talk to you about the Simmering Lights. The first part to the Simmering light is the base. The base comes in 2 colors to choose from (black or antique white) and it comes with a light bulb. Each set comes with a base, liner and bulb for $25. Additional bulbs may be purchased for $4 each.

Once you pick which color you prefer you move on to the liner. The liner goes over the light bulb and included a glass dish to hold the sprinkles. The liner comes in a variety of colors. The colors are: Frosted Indigo, Frosted Bright Turquoise, Frosted Candleglow, Frosted Brown, Frosted Orange and Frosted White. A new liner that recently came out is Gold Mercury, which is gorgeous and my personal favorite!

The beauty about Pink Zebra Sprinkles is you can use as much or as little of them as you want. I usually use a cap full to scent my big open area downstairs in my home. In the jars, there are 12 cap fulls per jar and each cap full lasts about 25-35 hours when burning. One cool trick that Laurie told me about is when I am done with one scent and would like to burn another in the same dish, just pop that dish in the freezer for 10 min and the wax will easily slide right out! Then I just wait for the dish to get to room temperature and put new scented sprinkles in. So easy!!

Simmer pots:

So if you want to stay simple I would recommend a Simmer pot. Pink Zebra offers many different colors and looks of the Simmer pots. Each Simmer pot is priced at either $25 or $32.

Shades:

Ok, now you have your sprinkles, simmering light and liner… Lets finish it off with a beautiful shade! Pink Zebra offers so many beautiful and unique shades. During the holidays they will have themed ones (Halloween, Christmas etc..) that are so fun to have around the house. I want to show you some of my personal favs!

MIRROR TERRARIUM SHADE

Reflecting a mid-century modern vibe, there’s just something special about this brass framed, multi-faceted terrarium. the thin metal edging sets off silver mercury paneling, fix your gaze on this little world of warmth and light. 9” d x 7.

This shade I own and it is my personal favorite. The picture in the catalog does not do it justice! I love to change out the liners because each one gives it a different look! I have it on my granite counter in my kitchen and it looks fabulous! The price is $60.

BOO BATS METAL SHADE

Whimsical with that stenciled craft appeal, the Boo Bats shade brings out the kid in you. 4”d x 6”h

What I love about Boo Bats shade is you can change the look of it depending on which liner you choose. Below, I have the Gold Mercury liner and also the Turquoise liner. You can see how cool each one looks!

Here are some other festive shades for the upcoming holiday season!!

All of the shades in these pictures are available to purchase! Please contact Laurie Leal for more details and/or to order!!

Glimmer Candles:

If you would rather light a wick and not have to plug anything in, you can do that with Pink Zebra! Pink Zebra offers many beautiful glimmer glass for your choice scent of sprinkles or your custom sprinkle creation! Below are some of the beauties you can purchase!

There are more online to choose from. They all come with wicks, and more wicks are available to purchase!

As you can see, Pink Zebra offers so many different ways to make your home smell wonderful. I was so happy that Laurie introduced me to Pink Zebra, I just love their products and know you will too!

CozyPhones Headband Headphones Review

September 15, 2016 By Marijean

My kids love wearing headphones when they play on their iPads and when they are in the car watching TV. Finding the right pair can sometimes be tricky. They can continually slip off, fall off, hurt ears or they break. My daughter especially likes to lay in her bed and watch movies on her iPad, but she complains her traditional pair of headphones hurts her head when she does. I was contacted by CozyPhones to review two pairs of headphones and I can’t wait to share my thoughts with you on them.

My son was very excited to receive and try out the Froggy headphones. They fit his head perfectly and he was easily able to plug in to his iPad. I adjusted the headphone pieces (directions will tell you how) and he was all set. The sound comes out crystal clear and he wore them for awhile and never complained once. He loves how soft and cozy they are. They also don’t slip off his head or hurt his ears.

I had my daughter try out the sleep headphones. She is 8 and they fit her good with a little bit of slack. She played in her bed with them on and told me how comfy they are and they feel like they would be great to sleep in. The sound was nice and clear in this pair as well, she absolutely loves them.

For each pair, you can adjust the position of the flat slimline speakers so that they sit perfectly over the ears. The headbands are completely washable, so you just take out the speakers and pop the headbands into the washing machine. So simple!!

These CozyPhones Headbands are amazing and super comfortable. I definitely think your children will love wearing them. They have so many different styles for adults and children, and shipping is free on every order! To place an order click here.
