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.

Super Wubble Bubble Ball Review @superwubble

September 10, 2016 By Marijean

*This is a sponsored post

My kids love to play with balloons. They could play for hours with them, but they usually always end up popping and then we have sad faces. I’ve always said I wished someone would make super durable balloons so they don’t pop when you play with them. Well, I have found something like that! Let me introduce you to Super Wubble bubble ball!

About Super Wubble Bubble Ball:

So what makes the Wubble bubble ball so special? It’s made from top-secret super-thermo-stretch-tacular stuff that makes it squishy, squashy, super soft and lightweight and allows it to be inflated to a gigantic THREE FEET TALL. Use the battery-operated air pump (included) to inflate your Wubble bubble ball in just two minutes and when you’re finished playing, just deflate the Wubble with the deflation tool (included) and stick it in a drawer for next time. The best part is that the Wubble is fun to play with indoors or outdoors, all year round.

We received the Super Wubble Bubble Ball in color red. They have 4 colors to choose from. Red, Blue, Green or Pink. The package includes: Instructions, Super Wubble ball, Patch kit, Pump, Petroleum Jelly and Nozzle. What it does not come with is 4 AA batteries for the pump. The instructions are very easy. We had the ball inflated within a minute. My kids were super excited to play with it! Make sure the desired size of your ball is less than 3 feet per instructions. We inflated ours to about 2 feet.

We took the ball outside for some playtime. The kids were loving throwing it to each other and rolling it on the grass. They even fell into it a couple of times (with me panicked it would pop haha) but it was perfectly fine! They even squeeze it, this thing can withstand a lot!

I even pinched it and squeezed it, really put it to the test of an adult playing with it. As much as I pinched and squeezed, the ball didn’t tear or pop.

Your kids will definitely have a blast with Super Wubble! It is durable and my kids have been having a full week of fun with it so far. They can play with it for hours and not get bored with it! This would make a great gift as well with the holidays coming up, even as a birthday present!

You can purchase your Super Wubble for $19.99 plus $8.99 shipping when you click here.

Super Wubble is also available at Target, Walmart and ToysRUs.
