Waterpik Review & Give-a-way ends 12/18/2011...

GIVE - A - WAY #20



We are a huge fan of Waterpik products here at the Jackson household! I'm not sure if you are all aware of the many products that Waterpik offers. They not only have Oral Health products like Toothbrushes and Water Flossers but they sell many others like Showerheads and Sinus Health products.

Waterpik recently sent us one of their Showerheads for review and we were so excited to try it. They sent us the PowerSpray+ Easy Select Hand Held Shower Heads with 5 Spray Settings ($62.99).
Let me tell you that we LOVE showers in this house. We probably spend way to much time in the shower but there is just nothing better than a hot shower whether it be in the morning to wake you up or at night to help you relax before bedtime. Even our 3 and 6 year old boys prefer a shower over a bath, must take after their mommy and daddy!

So let me tell you a little about this shower head - first and foremost installing this was very easy. My husband put it up in no time which is always a plus when replacing something in the house. The next thing that we really like is that the hose is 5-foot long and very flexible! This means you can wash every part of your body without any problem, you can give the dog a bath easily and spray your kids down!

We love the 5 spray settings: Full-Body Spray, PowerSpray, Circular Massage Spray, Mist and there is even a Water Saver mode which is great for things like shaving your legs. My favorite is the Circular Massage Spray, oh my talk about a massage in the shower! It is so easy to use with the Spray Selector right on the handle, just turn it and the setting is easily changed.

Watch this video to learn more about Waterpik Showerheads and find one that is perfect for you!

MyPublisher Holiday Cards Review and Giveaway ends 12/10/2011...

GIVE - A - WAY #19




I love designing our Christmas cards every year. I get the boys dressed up and take a photo of them for our cards. It's just more personal sending out a card with a photo on it and it's something that our friends and family really look forward to receiving.

This year we used a new company called


MyPublisher offers so many neat card designs by various designers. They also offer Photo Books, Stationary, Photo Calendars and Scrapbook Pages.

I was excited to get started on my design. I had fun browsing all of the different cards. Here are a few of my favorites...


If you love animal prints then you will LOVE this Holiday: Gentle Giraffe Card that is available in this fun green color, also available in pink, orange or red!



I love the simplicity of this Holiday: Joy Card.



I think this Holiday: Holiday Ornaments Card is just adorable! If I had little girls I definitely would chose this card!



Now let me show you the design that we chose for our Christmas Cards this year - we chose the Holiday: Merry Marquee design below! It is available in red, blue, light gray and dark gray which we chose.


This is what the box looked liked when I opened it - TA DA! - love that!


And this is our beautifully designed Christmas Card this year! I absolutely love the finished product and can't wait to get these in the mail!


It was so easy to pick out a card, upload our photo and add our own personal text to it! I love that most of the cards come in a variety of colors and you get to choose the finish too: glossy, matte or textured matte. You can change the text font and color to your liking. You get to pick out your envelope liner (we chose polka dot, so fun!). You also get to add your address to the back of the envelope so you don't have to use any of your own shipping labels, just an added bonus in my opinion!



Right now they are offering 30% off all holiday cards AND free shipping when you use code

CYBERSAVE

I am very pleased with MyPublisher and will definitely be ordering more from them in the future!

Monkey Brains Hair Collection Review and Giveaway ends 11/27/2011...

G I V E - A - W A Y #17

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!




There is one question that I get asked all of the time and it's "What products do you use to get your boys' hair to stand up like that?" I get e-mails all of the time from followers asking this and whenever we are out people always say "oh my goodness their hair is so cute!"


Being a former hairstylist I will tell you that I am very picky when it comes to styling products. I used to always use professional gel on their hair, that is until we tried Monkey Brains Hair Products.

If you are not familiar with Monkey Brains I will tell you a little about them...



Monkey Brains is a new collection of hair care that allows you to express yourself. To be fun, be cool and be yourself! Look around. How many styles do you spot everyday: spikes, fauxhawks, and controlled messiness... Everyone you see is sporting an individual look!

With 2 Gels, 2 Glues, a Pomade, a Hair Refresher and a Shampoo and Conditioner you will be able to rock whatever hairstyle you're feelin' at that moment.One day you don't feel like getting in the shower and the next you're searching for the hair gel. But you're confident about how you want to look on any given day. Monkey Brains gives you the tools to look cool and have fun doing it.


So back to the big question? What do we use to spike their hair?


It's the Monkey Brains Twisted Sticky Hair Glue! Oh my goodness does this product hold. It not only holds but smells amazing!!




We also the love Goop Out Shampoo and Super Softy Conditioner. Again they smell great and do their job of getting the products out and give them squeaky clean hair!



The boys also love the Gone Bananas Hair Refresher which is a waterless foaming shampoo. They are always getting into this and rubbing it on their heads. Again smells amazing and is perfect for making their heads smell a little better - hey they are boys and they play hard, get sweaty and could use a shower 500 x's a day but with this it just refreshes them without having to take several showers or baths in the same day!

A few other reasons why we love Monkey Brains so much - they contain premium ingredients, are alcohol-free and are very affordable at around $3.99 a piece! We also love that you can pick them up at stores you shop at on a daily basis like Wal-Mart, Kroger and Walgreens to name a few!

Monkey Brains products would make awesome stocking stuffers this year!

The Soap & Paper Factory Review & Giveaway ends 11/26/2011...

G I V E - A - W A Y #16

Needing a gift for those hard to buy for family or friends, maybe a teacher that you don't know very well or maybe you just need a little something extra to add to that already purchased gift...

Well let me introduce you to The Soap & Paper Factory - where you will find natural, beautifully scented, handmade gifts like Soy Candles, Shea Butter Soaps, Hand Cream, Solid Perfume, Room Diffusers and Room Spray. All products are wrapped in exquisite, earth friendly packaging, inspired by nature and finished with a modern flare.

The Soap & Paper Factory were kind enough to send me 2 products to review so let me show you what I received!



The first product is the Beautifully Fragranced Roland Pine Oil Diffuser $32 - Feel like taking a walk through a dewy pine forest? Go ahead! Hold Roland's hand and let him guide you into his world. Clean, crisp air, rugged and strong yet soft and sensitive! Roland Pine is simply the best pine fragrance EVER! Literally, when you open this bottle, you will feel as though you are hiking in a forest with hunky Roland!



I love room diffusers and this is quite possibly my favorite! Oh my, from the packaging to the actual product everything is just perfect. I love modern and am very picky when it comes to decor - with The Soap & Paper Factory products you don't have to worry about anything less. It's simply modern luxury and the scents are amazing! I also love that these oil diffusers are oil based, biodegradable and phthalate free.






The second product sent for review is the Verbena Delicately Perfumed Soy Candle (Candles range in price from $11 Votive to $36 Patch NYC Candle) - Seriously, this is the most glorious verbena fragrance ever! Did you know that verbena represents blessing and love! It has woody floral notes, with a citrus top note to bring balance, relieve anxiety and stimulate the senses. Verbena uplifts the heart - so snap to it, light the flame and bring on the love!

The Soap & Paper Factory has so many luxe products - all hand crafted with the best oils at their factory in New York. Each fragrance is designed to stimulate the mind, body and spirit. I love that their line of products are all designed with the environment in mind. They never test on animals, use organic when possible and never use petroleum, parabens, or phthalates.

Reisenthel Mini Maxi Shopper Review and Giveaway ends 11/26/2011...

G I V E - A - W A Y #15

- REISENTHEL -




Have you started your Christmas shopping yet? Whether you are looking for the perfect stocking stuffer or you are the one out shopping for gifts the Reisenthel Mini Maxi Shopper bag ($6.99 - $7.50) is great to give or have yourself!


The Reisenthel Mini Maxi Shopper may look small when you first get it, but in reality it's huge! Huge volume from a tiny package that is! It's the perfect bag for all of those purchases you make - it's so great because it folds up into a tiny little rectangle so it's easy to carry with you at all times. When you are ready to carry all of your purchases, just unfold the Mini Maxi Shopper and you have a huge bag ready to carry everything.

Since 2001 the Mini Maxi Shopper has been saving the environment one shopping trip at a time, each Mini Maxi Shopper will replace 1,000 plastic sacks! Mini Maxi Shopper's are great for the environment, easy on your wallet and the best part is they are absolutely adorable! They are very affordable at about $7 a pop and come in about 19 colors!
Reisenthel sent me a Mini Maxi Shopper in the color Crystal Carrot (shown above) for review and I just adore this bag! I have used it so much - I have used this bag to carry our library books, I've taken it on shopping trips and to the grocery store. I love that it folds up so small and is held with an elastic band. I can throw it in my purse or car and pull it out whenever I need some extra carrying space. The long handles are great too!

Everyone should have at least one of these cute bags - they would make a wonderful gift or the perfect stocking stuffer this year as would any of the Reisenthel products! Let me show you a few more of their adorable products before telling you about the giveaway...I am loving the SHOPPER XL ($29.99) - perfect for a day at the beach, carrying your workout clothes or a trip around the world!

Speaking of traveling the world, check out this Allrounder M ($29.99) which has a compartment for everything!

Don't forget your matching Luchbag! Another great gift idea - available in grey and ruby and very affordable, only $12.99 each!
