Just a note

2010-12-03T07:05:00.000-06:00

I just wanted to take a minute to pop in and talk to you guys for a minute. My mom will be getting here tomorrow from Texas and she will be here for a week, so I won't be blogging that much. Anyway, to my point, I wanted to talk to you guys about giveaway entries.

There are some people, even though I state that you need to leave your email address in at least the first entry, that are not leaving their email address at all. I'm a pretty laid back person and usually, I will just go to that person's profile and get their email from there. Well, not anymore. I'm not trying to be mean, there is just a lot to do in one day and I don't want to have to search for an email. It'll take you all of 2 seconds to add it to your main entry!

If you enter without leaving an email address, I won't delete the entries, but if you are randomly selected as the winner, I will choose a different winner. Please pay attention to what you are doing! I hate to pass on a winner for something so dumb as not putting an email address!

One more small note about entering. When I saw in my entries, Subscribe via email, that's what I mean. Not in a reader, EMAIL. I DO check subscriptions and I'm getting tired of people saying they are subscribing and they actually aren't. I've been emailing people back telling them that they need to verify their subscription in order for the entry to count, but that is done too. You don't subscribe completely, you don't get the extras. It's only fair to those people who actually do!

All I'm asking is to read the post you are entering all and make sure you follow the direction. It's not very hard considering that I use the same entry part in EVERY giveaway! For those of you who have been entering correctly, thank you! I hope everyone has a good day and a wonderful weekend!

Name Frame Review & Giveaway

2010-12-01T11:02:00.001-06:00

I love personalized items! I don't really care what it is, but if it can be personalized, I want it! That is why I was so happy to run across Name Frame!

At name frame, everything about the item you are purchasing is custom! You pick the name, the font, the color frame, the color matting, you can even add ornaments to the matting! Behind whatever text you want, are the pictures you choose to put in!

I received a code to make my own Name Frame for review. The process was so easy! I put all the pictures in I wanted and was able to position them exactly where I wanted them! It was so much easier than just getting the frame with the name and putting the pictures in myself. That is a lot harder! Cutting the pictures and trying to make them stay where you want them while trying to put the frame back together!

With Name Frame, it's all done on the site with a few clicks of a mouse! Once it arrives to you, you can hang it right up, or give it as a gift!

I made my Name Frame for my sister-in-law. She is like me and loves personalized items! So, when I gave it to her, she was overwhelmed with joy! I don't think I have seen someone so happy about a gift! She kept saying thank you over and over again!

The Name Frame is perfect for a nursery, child's room, or even getting the family last name with family pictures in it! The possibilities are endless! Name Frames are $59.99 and they ship to the US and Canada! Lucky for my lovely readers, Name Frame is offering you guys a 15% discount! Just use the code LCGW11 in the "How did you hear about us" field! That is a great deal!

WIN IT
One (1) lucky reader will win a free Name Frame to customize!

MANDATORY ENTRY
Tell me who you'd make the frame for if you won! Please be sure to leave your email address in the first entry. I don't want to have to search for it! *You MUST do the mandatory entry! All bonus entries will be deleted if it's not done first!*

me4kidz Review

2010-12-01T10:49:00.001-06:00

Having two little boys ages 4 and 5 means that there are a lot of "boo boo's"! My boys are always getting into stuff and hurting themselves! Luckily I ran across a company called me4kidz!

me4kidz sells first aide kits for parents who have accident prone kids like I do! I am constantly looking around the house looking for band aids and ointment for the latest scrape and cut. The worst is when we are away from home and there is nothing in my purse for a "boo boo"!

I was sent a medibuddy for review!

The medibuddy is perfect to put in your purse, car, stroller and backpack for those little emergencies! I have mine in my car. I can't count the number of times we have been somewhere and one of my boys have hurt themselves. Blood ends up everywhere and I have to rush home to fix them up! Not fun at all!

Now I can be out and about and not worry if we have an accident. I will have them taken care of in no time! The kit comes with 40 items! 1 knee and elbow bandage, 15 kid-friendly bandages, 1 sting relief pad, 4 2"x2" gauze pads, 3 antiseptic wipes, 1 burn relief cream, 2 antibiotic ointment, 12 kid-friendly fun stickers, and 1 carry case!

That is everything you need to take care of your little one! The stickers are a great idea! It's amazing how a sticker can make a child magically feel so much better! With my medibuddy, I now have the piece of mind that my boys will be happy and safe!

me4kidz also has two other products. The medibag which is a full first aide kit with LOTS of items. It also includes a coupon for a refill kit! They also have the diaper bag buddy which is perfect for your precious little baby!

With a price of $12.95 and $4.95, these kits are a great value! Click HERE to find a location near you to pick one up, or order online!

191 Unlimited Review & Giveaway

2010-12-01T10:45:00.001-06:00

My husband had no style what-so-ever! When he tries to dress up, I give him a sideways look and ask him as nicely as possible if he is really wearing that. That is most guys though! Most don't really care what they look like! Especially if they are married!

191 Unlimited is here to help them! They sell trendy clothes to get your man (or self) the style they need! With everything from jackets to striped shirts to bottoms, he will be looking good in no time!

For review I received two shirts. They are both so nice! I was thrilled to open the box and find stylish button down shirts! My husband has one button down shirt that doesn't even fit him! He likes to wear button downs, but won't go shopping for them!

Wifey to the rescue! I gave him the shirts and his eyes lit up a little! Good sign! But, the real task was getting him to put them on and like them!

Ok, so it wasn't a task after all! He tried them both on and loves them both! And boy does he look good in them! The fit is absolutely perfect! I have never been so happy to see him in new clothes! My mom will be here this weekend and we always go to a restaurant every time she comes. He is anxiously awaiting that dinner so that he can show off one of his new shirts!

The quality of the shirts is marvelous! The colors are great! Very subtle for a guy. And the material is nice against the skin. Overall, my husband and I are both very happy with the shirts and the company! Looks like I'm going to be doing some more shopping for him at 191 Unlimited!

WIN IT
Three (3) lucky readers will win a shirt from 191 Unlimited!

WarmlyYours Review

2010-12-01T09:42:00.001-06:00

I'm sure you guys have all seen me mention how much I love winter. You have also seen me say how easily I get cold. Sitting here at the computer for a long amount of time, I usually end up wrapped in a blanket with my feet up in the chair! It's cold under this desk!

WarmlyYours has solved my problem! For review I received an under desk heater!

As soon as I received it, I put it under the computer desk right away! It fit perfectly under the desk! I turned it on and waited. Within 5 minutes, the mat was warm to the touch. At about a half an hour, it was fully heated and my feet and legs were nice and toasty!

I love the color and feel of the heater! The color blends well with my floor so it's virtually invisible! The carpet itself is very soft! Who doesn't love something soft on their feet!?!

The Under Desk Heater provides the same level of comfort and warmth as a standard space heater at a fraction of the energy use! I try not to use space heaters very often because they do use a lot of energy, but I do love the heat they put out. The Under Deck Heater is the perfect alternative!

The Under Desk Heater comes in two different sizes. 18" x 24" for $89.00 and 24" x 36" for $139.00. If you get cold easily like me, then that money is well worth the comfort you get! Use it at home, or at your office!

WarmlyYours has other products too! They have floor heating products, comfort products and even snow melting products! What ever your warming needs are, WarmlyYours won't disappoint!

Imagination Box Co Review & Giveaway

2010-12-01T08:02:00.002-06:00

Did you like playing with boxes as a child? I know I did! I would have a blast creating something out of an ordinary box! Imagination Box Co has taken that concept and made it better!

Imagination Box Co sells green toys that are made with sturdy double-walled corrugated board. This makes them very strong! Which means this is a toy made to last! That's a big deal for me and 2 little boys!

Each design is printed inside and out bringing it to life! The wonderful thing is, is that they come black and white! That way, your child can use his or her imagination to color their toy the way they'd like! The toys even come with washable, non-toxic water color paints! If they don't want to paint it, you can also use crayons, markers and stickers!

I received the Castle Tower for review.

This is one of the best toys ever! My boys have had a blast with the Castle Tower! We assembled it together. It was super easy! I was amazed at how easy it was! Once it was all put together, my boys squealed with delight when they saw the Castle Tower!

Right away they started painting! It was fun watching them use their creativity to bring the Castle Tower to life! Once they were done they were ready to play! They grabbed a whole bunch of action figures, horses and even little Army men!

I put the Castle Tower in the middle of their room and they started playing! I did not see my boys for the next 2 hours! They played and played and played! I loved it so much! It was nice seeing them use their imagination instead of sitting around watching TV! They have played with it almost non-stop!

Imagination Box Co has other designs other than the Castle Tower. There's a barn, a cottage, a firehouse, and a schoolhouse! All products are made from 45% post consumer materials and 100% recyclable, they are environmentally friendly and safe for Mother Earth!

One of my favorite things about the products is that they are made in the USA! I love products that are made here! Also, right now they are having a holiday gift sale! All products are 20% off through the holidays! That is wonderful! The products are already a great price! Add the 20% off and you've got yourself a deal you just can't pass up!

WIN IT
One (1) lucky reader will win a design of choice from the Imagination Box Co!

MANDATORY ENTRY
Visit Imagination Box Co and tell me which design you'd pick if you won! Please be sure to leave your email address in the first entry. I don't want to have to search for it! *You MUST do the mandatory entry! All bonus entries will be deleted if it's not done first!*

Zippo Candle Lighter Review

2010-11-29T12:51:00.000-06:00

I am so happy to tell you guys about another wonderful product from Zippo! It's the Zippo Candle Lighter!

You know how hard it can be to light candles! Especially once they get down to the end and you have to figure out a way to get it lit without burning yourself! There are those longer lighter that are used for BBQ pits and fires. Those just don't look very nice sitting on your mantle or counter!

With the Zippo Candle Lighters, all of that is solved! Not only are they long enough to light those old candles, but they add elegance to your decor! For review I received the Snowflake Candle Lighter and Butane Fuel!

I love this lighter! It is so pretty! I love that I got a Christmas themed one as well! I usually only light candles around Christmas, so this is perfect! I have also used it to light my fireplace! And it doesn't look bad sitting on my mantle! Also, I have NOT burned myself lighting any candles!

About the candle lighters:

7 unique styles perfect for any room or occasion
Zippo lifetime guarantee
Sleek ergonomic design
patented safety child button
Fuel-level indicator
Adjustable flame dial

I love how super easy it is to refill! You just insert the butane fuel into the bottom of the lighter, let it fill and you're done! Also, the child safety button is wonderful! With two little boys in my house, I need all the safety features I can get! Little boys get into everything! The child safety button gives me the piece of mind that my boys won't burn down the house! :)

The lighters come in 4 classic colors (Cabernet, pink, sae foam and pearl) and 4 stylish designs (Asian floral, snowflake, cheetah and patriotic). They are only $14.95 for the classic colors and $19.95 for the stylish designs! Perfect gift for a stocking stuffer! Click HERE to order yours today!

Zippo Hand Warmer Review

2010-11-29T10:31:00.000-06:00

I love the winter! It's a nice change from the southern heat! My problem is, my hands get cold FAST! Even when I wear gloves, I can't seem to keep my hands warm! the Zippo Hand Warmer has really helped me with this!

I bet when you think Zippo, you think lighters! Well, they have other product too, including the hand warmer! I received a Zippo Hand Warmer and Lighter Fluid for review. This thing is great! It's so easy to use and lasts a long time!

To get the hand warmer going is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Open it up, put the fluid in, close it, light it, put it in the bag, and enjoy the warmth! It comes with it's own filling cup that is marked. With the filling cup, you won't have any spills! You can fill the cup half way for 6 hours of heat, or fill it all the way for 12 hours of heat!

The hand warmer also comes with a warming bag. This bag is to keep it from overheating and also is perfect to hold on to! Once the warmer is lit, heat is provided by a catalystic process which means there is no flame! One less thing to worry about!

Here are a few things about the hand warmer:

Rugged metal construction
Sleek and compact design
Reusable with Zippo premium lighter fluid
Virtually odorless- great for hunters
12 hour burn time
Includes convenient filler cup and warming bag
Ideal for hunting, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and outdoor sporting events

I'm not a hunter, but I'm sure this would be perfect to use for hunting! I'm a soccer mom, so using it at a game or practice is great! My husband has even taken it to work with him! Since it burns so long, it is ideal for any long amount of time out in the cold!

The hand warmer only costs $19.95! Believe me, it is well worth it! This would make the perfect stocking stuffer! Click HERE to order yours!

Foul Mouth Shirts Review & Giveaway

2010-11-27T15:12:00.001-06:00

Don't you just love funny t-shirts!? Between my husband and I, we have a pretty nice collection of them! I just love the reaction you get out of other people when they read them! And now, my husband has one more to add to his collection! It was from Foul Mouth Shirts!

He received this shirt:

I love the saying on this shirt. Too bad he has to be in uniform when he's at work because I know he'd love to tell some of the guys this! The shirt itself is awesome! It fits him perfectly and is very well made. Which is good because he wears his shirts for YEARS upon YEARS!

As soon as I handed him the shirt he just cracked up laughing and told me I did a good job picking out the shirt! He went right away and put it on. I told him that if he wanted more, to go to the site and pick out some more for Christmas.

There are loads of shirts to choose from at Foul Mouth Shirts! You could literally be there all day looking at them! There are 28 categories you can choose from! Everything from attitude shirts and political shirts to Christmas shirts and sexy underwear! And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

Parents, viewer discretion is advised! They don't call it Foul Mouth Shirts for nothing! Anything from FMS would make the perfect gift this holiday season because the prices are so nice! So, go get shopping today!

The ellie Review & Giveaway

2010-11-27T11:50:00.001-06:00

Women (as most of y'all are) have a hard time finding jeans that fit well. I know I do! For me, they either fit in the waist but are too short, or they are long enough and they swallow me whole! Well, The ellie jeans are my new favorite jeans!

The ellie jeans are designer jeans made in Los Angeles USA and benefit the ellie fund. The ellie fund is a non-profit breast cancer foundation that provides free support services each year to more than 600 women and families who are undergoing treatment for breast cancer in Massachusetts.

For review I saw send two pairs. The curvy bootcut, and the high rise straight leg.

I love these jeans. They are the most comfortable jeans I have worn. I wore the curvy bootcut pair on Thanksgiving. I stuffed myself that day and I never felt like the jeans were cutting off circulation! :) I didn't have to unbutton them or anything! I was impressed!

The great thing for me about these jeans is that they are long enough for me! I'm only 5'8", but I'm all legs! These jeans are long enough, plus some! Yippee! I also really like the darkwash color! It looks so "fancy"!

The only problem that I had with the jeans was the sizing. The sizes run in designer jeans sizes. Ok, I am not used to that! I had to look up a size chart and then pray that when they got here that they fit! The bootleg jeans fit, but the straight legs were a little big. I guess the straight legs run a little bigger because I got them both in the same size. I'm hoping that when I wash them, they will shrink some! I need a pair of new straight legs, and the ellie ones are lovely!

Supporting a good cause has never been so fashionable!

Happy Thanksgiving!

2010-11-25T07:26:00.000-06:00

I just wanted to take a minute to tell you guys Happy Thanksgiving! This year I am thankful to have all of my family home! It's our first family Thanksgiving. We usually drive home to Texas. I made my very first turkey! :) I am also very thankful for the men and women who are serving our country and can't be with their families today. That's why a few of the single guys that my hubs work with that don't have family here are coming to my house today! That makes me happy! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Gobble gobble!
