TriCalm An Itch Cream

January 11, 2013 By Anne

My daughter always has some sort of bite that she wants itch cream on. I guess it started in the summer with all the mosquitoes. I have this serum from Mary Kay, from a long time ago that soothes the itch. I have since tried a few other itch creams and they all kinda work the same. I think it might be more of a placebo effect for my daughter most of times.

My daughter also has an eczema patch on the inside of her elbow, that I have to have a medicated cream for. I do not use the itch creams for that one.

When asked by Moms Meet to try a new itch cream, TriCalm, I thought great! Another one to try.

After having the TriCalm in our bathroom for a week or so, my daughter complained about an itchy spot. So I got out the TriCalm and applied it.

She did not like it, said it made it hurt. Will I try it again on her or my son? Yes. I just haven’t needed to yet. I like that it’s a clear gel. Nice and thin and there is no odor.

If you or your kids get bit a lot, like our family, I would give it a try. It’s good for itching, burning and stinging. I know this summer we will have lots of that with all the mosquitoes we get around here.

TriCalm offers powerful relief from itching, burning and stinging caused by rashes, hives, sunburn, allergic reactions,
bug bites, poison ivy and other skin ailments. A steroid-free anti-itch gel, TriCalm works on contact to help alleviate
discomfort associated with minor skin irritations.

My Chevy Camero Experience.

January 9, 2013 By Anne

I have been wanting to try out one of Chevy’s new eco-friendly cars since I attended their Moms Night Out almost two years ago. But when I heard from the rep, she said they had none available and would I like to drive a Chevy Camero for a week. I was kinda flabbergasted and I said yes!

I wasn’t thinking that it was a smaller car and not great with small kids (car seats and all). But it was delivered and wow! was it beautiful!

It’s a 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS Convertible with a 6.2L V8 Engine and 6-speed Automatic Transmission. Which doesn’t mean a lot to me, but my husband all the guy neighbors were quite impressed.

I was more interested in the interior features….OnStar Directions & Connections, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Chevrolet MyLink with 7” diagonal color touch screen. The screen was awesome and big and colorful!

Also included was Rear Park Assist, which I did not test out. Heated leather-appointed driver and front passenger seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, again I did not test, as it was warm in Florida and no need to. A remote start and USB port.

Here you can see there is not much leg room in the back. Once you strap a car seat in there, there is not a lot of room for legs.

I did take a group of friends to The Women’s Show and we did fit and it was okay back there.

My favorite feature was how the MPH were projected on the window, so I did not need to take my eyes off the road to see how fast I was going. I think all cars should do this.

Doesn’t it look nice on my street? The convertible was fun to use. Savannah kept asking me to take her to school with the top down!! I was one hot momma at school that week!

I loved driving the Camero around town for the week, but it is definatly not a family car.

Here’s a picture of the girls and I in it for the Women’s show.

I received the above car the week loan. All opinions are my own.

KQC X-Heat Flat Iron – Holiday Gift Guide

November 30, 2012 By Anne

My hair has always had that funky wave to it that doesn’t really look great. Unfortunalty my daughter got it too. Of course it looks cute on her now…..

So every once and awhile I like to either curl my hair or flat iron it. I had one of those big flat irons that were popular years ago, but I needed a nice thin one like the salon uses. So I contacted Flatirionexperts.com and asked what their most popular flat iron was.

They sent me out the KQC X-Heat Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron. It has been rated one of the Best Flat Iron on the market and preferred by top hair stylists around the world. I can see why! With the KQC X-Heat I can straighten, flip, curl my funky hair! It has ultra Korean Ceramic Heaters that gets you a precise temperature. Plus it heats up super fast!

I’ve been told that using Ceramic will distribute heat more evenly and eliminates damaging hot spots. The ceramic also emits a natural source of negative ions and far infrared heat that helps your hair. And:

1. Preserve more moisture within the hair shaft

2. Eliminates frizz and close the cuticle to create smooth and shiny hair

3. Causes less damage to the hair cuticle during styling

So here I am using the KQC X-Heat Flat Iron.

And my wonderful results!

Check out FlatIronExprets.com for more style accessories and on Facebook and Twitter too!

I love finding unique gifts. I always try to find that gift that no one else has or one that you can’t find just anywhere. Where can you find such gifts? Red Envelope that’s where.

Red Envelope has gifts for every person and for every occasion. You can purchase gifts for babies, children, weddings, birthdays and anniversaries. You can also get your gift personalized.

But while I was looking around I found this fun Hootch Owl Corkscrew. I have a thing for owls so I just had to get it!! It’s made of vintage style metal with a double level style opener. It looks like something you’d see from the 1930’s.

Once I received it I just had to try it out!!
