TheraPearl Review & Giveaway



Last October after one of my golf lessons, I noticed that every time I reached forward, my shoulder would pop. It was unusual and persistent. Then, along with the popping, came pain. I thought I had torn my rotator  cuff. I went to a specialist and they sent me for an MRI. Apparently, when my bones grew and formed, they didn't do a very good job. My acromion bone grew downward instead of straight out. All in all, my bone is rubbing and pinching on places it shouldn't. I was told that eventually I would need surgery to shave the bone down. Until then, I have to keep that shoulder strong and live with it. That is where TheraPearl comes in.


TheraPearl sells hot/cold packs. The packs are made with Pearl Technology. Here is a little about the Pearl Technology:



The Pearl Technology contained in every TheraPearl pack is game changing innovation born of an age old therapy. Crafted by a doctor who knew she could offer her patients something better than a bag of frozen peas, TheraPearl was designed with you in mind. Whether chilled or heated, Pearl Technology™ conveniently holds its temperature for the doctor recommended time of 20 minutes and conforms to your body to deliver the perfect relief from your aches and pains.
Easily pliable when frozen, our Pearl Technology™ is cold enough to offer targeted ice therapy without sacrificing flexibility. Not stiff, jagged or uncomfortable, chilled TheraPearl packs stay smooth and soft on your skin as they conform to deliver soothing relief.
When conveniently heated in a microwave, the Pearl Technology™ in your TheraPearl pack is the perfect solution to relax stiff muscles and encourage blood flow and healing. Delivering consistent heat therapy directly to your desired relief area without a mess, the reusable packs are combination therapy in one convenient product.
At TheraPearl, we recognize it’s all about giving people the opportunity to see and interact with our product.  When they do, they love it.  Unlike other products, our high quality clear packaging showcases the product inside, and our poke hole allows people to feel the difference for themselves.  The distinct ornamental appearance of our pearls is our trademark, and it’s how consumers recognize our product in stores.

I received the neck wrap to review. The neck wrap isn't just for necks. It can be used for stiff necks, sore shoulders, spine pain and more. I obviously use it for my shoulder. It is so nice that it can be heated and cooled. It saves me from having to go back and forth from a heating pad to a bag of ice.

I love the fact that no matter what, the wrap stays flexible. I have always remembered using the ice packs that were basically a big block of ice. Those are horrible! You can't get the coldness on the direct spot you need it in. Plus, it was always so hard, it just hurt to put it on the hurt area. No more of that with TheraPearl! I can put it where I need it, and it conforms to my body. No hardness!

TheraPearl also sells a sports pack, an eye mask, a back wrap (which would be great for the hubs!), a contour pack, and a pack that they call pals. The pals are for kids and they are so cute! They come in Pearl the Pig, Buddy the Puppy, Ping the Panda and Ribbit the Frog. My boys would love these!

With prices ranging from $5.99 to $29.99 I think these are a fantastic deal, and so much better that using frozen food or a bag of melting ice!

One of my lucky readers is going to win a TheraPearl neck wrap of their very own! Good luck!

Bra Tree Review & Giveaway

My top drawer in my dresser is a disaster! I use it for socks, underwear and bras. For a girl, that is a lot of stuff in one drawer! I try my hardest to keep it all separated and organized, but that is almost impossible! My bras usually get tangled up in my underwear and my socks end up under everything else.

Thankfully, I was able to review the Bra Tree! The Bra Tree is like two hangers joined together with hooks on it. You use the hooks to hang your bras on and get them out of that awful top drawer. It keeps them all separate and untangled. No more struggling in the drawer, or leaving your bras hanging on door knobs!

I was sent the silver Bra Tree to review. When it arrived, it was in a couple different pieces. It was super easy to assemble. You just have to screw the pieces together and you are done! Most people would probably hang the Bra Tree in their closet. In my case, I have a hook behind my bedroom door. That is where I hung mine. My door is always open, so no one can see it.

Bra Tree has made my life so much easier! Now, in the evenings when I change clothes I just hang my bra right on the Bra Tree and go to bed. In the morning, I know right where my bra is and simply grab it off of the hook!

I have also been using the Bra Tree for my bathing suits. I used to have them on the top of my closet. Once again, there was too much going on in my dresser to put them there. The closet was the only alternative. Now, I just hang them on my Bra Tree. I was always searching for both matching pieces and now they are hung together and easy to find.

The Bra Tree is only $24.99 and comes in Pretty Pink, Elegant Black, Smokey Silver and Hot Red. You can join their email list (right hand side of their page) and receive instant coupons and newsletters!

One of my luck readers is going to win a Bra Tree of their own to organize their 'top drawer'! Good luck to all!

KLUTCHclub Review

I was super happy when I learned I would be reviewing for KLUTCHclub! I had been seeing these boxes all over the place and was really curious to see what all the rage was about.

KLUTCHclub sent me their May box to review. The May box was called "Get Ready for Summer". I was so excited to get into that box and see what I got. It was almost like it was my birthday or Christmas! I actually loved the way it was packaged. It was quite simple, yet it still kept me intrigued!

Here is what came in the box:



Hydroxatone's Instant Effect 90 Second Wrinkle Reducer will help your skin look radiant even after sun exposure. This is THE product for all those pictures you'll take to capture summer memories. Forget Botox and try this one-of-a-kind $70 serum risk-free!










ONE coconut water will help you miraculously replenish electrolytes after those hot, summer workouts! And you already know why everyone is going Coco for coconut water!  











Moving Comfort sports bras will keep you well-supported this summer during all of your athletic adventures. Share the KLUTCH and give one of your gift cards to a friend. 










Yoga Download classes make working out at your home, office or hotel room easy- perfect when you're too busy or traveling this summer and can't get to a yoga studio.










Think Thin bars help you snack intelligently, giving you a good source of portable protein and no refined sugar. Try two different flavors to see which one you like best. 










A KLUTCHclub water bottle will help you stay hydrated this summer- sure to become your new buddy for bike rides, hikes, or any other outdoor activities you've got planned for those dog days.







Overall, I am very happy with KLUTCHclub! Each month they have a different box with a different theme. August's box is "Health On-the-Go"! It looks like a really good box!

Each box contains $50 or more worth of cutting edge products. All you pay is $18 or less a moth to enjoy it all! I'm sure this wont be the last KLUTCHclub box I get! It's too good of a deal to pass up! These boxes also make great gifts!

You can:
Follow KLUTCHclub on Pinterest
Follow KLUTCHclub on Facebook
Follow KLUTCHclub on Twitter
and visit their website!

Also, if you 'like' them on Facebook, you can enter to win $500 in skincare products!

Nature's Sleep Review & Giveaway



Like all military housing, my house does not have carpet. I have hardwood floors. If I am up and cleaning, constantly walking from room to room, my feet start to hurt. Like I said HARDwood floors! Luckily, I was able to review for Nature's Sleep!

I was sent a pair of open toe slippers to review. I love them! The soles are lined with memory foam. It literally feels like you are walking on marshmallows! They are also made with soft terry fabric. Add the memory foam and the terry fabric together and you have dream slipper for your feet!

Now, when I am cleaning house, I just wear the slippers and my feet do not hurt! Since the bottom of the slippers are not soft, I can even wear them outside to throw trash away, or sit on the porch! They even distribute your weight to reduce pressure points and improve circulation! That is great for me. I have poor circulation in my feet, they are constantly cramping!

The open toed slippers come in lavender, pale blue and mocha (that is the color I got). You can also get closed toe slippers! They come in pale blue, pink and sand. Overall, I am very satisfied with Nature's Sleep and their slippers! I would definitely recommend getting some yourself!

Nature's Sleep also sells memory foam toppers for you bed and pillows! They even have pet beds for your furry friends. I know my dogs would love to have one of those! Nature's Sleep also offers warranty's on their mattresses, pillows, foundations and e-frames. You can not get much better than that! I think, for the quality of the products, Nature's Sleep items are very fairly priced. Most of those items would be twice as much in a regular store. 

One of my lucky readers is going to win a pair if Nature's Sleep slippers like I reviewed! Good luck to all!
