Mirra Review and Giveaway

Lisa — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:09:53 +0000

Who doesn’t want to look their best? I don’t know any women who don’t, and that’s how mirra was born. Mirra has natural ingredients such as olive oil, aloe leaf juice, and cranberry. The best part is that they also use scientific technologies to make sure that their products are some of the best on the market. For example, they use oleosome emulsion technology to deliver long lasting moisture that keeps protecting and nourishing your skin long after you put it on (which is something I personally need because I have consistently dry skin).

I was given a basket of products to try at my house. My favorite products have to be the shampoo and conditioner though. Coming out of the bottle, it does smell a little perfumey. However, once you wash your hair with it, you aren’t smelling it the rest of the day (which is something that my husband likes. He doesn’t want his hair to smell like anything especially if it’s sweet smelling). The conditioner makes my hair nice and soft, so I do like that too. The body lotion was non greasy and the day cream was awesome.

Since I like these products, I have arranged for one lucky winner of mine to win some of these beauty products also! Here’s what you need to do:

Tell me what beauty product you need! Is it your moisturizer? Your hair gel? Your special lotion? Or is it something else?

The Fox and the Hen

Lisa — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 12:34:28 +0000

Another great children’s book to check out is The Fox and the Hen. The story is pretty simple — Henrietta Hen laid an egg and the Red Fox tricked her into giving it to him. The book is about getting the egg back, and how Henrietta plays her own trick. As an adult, I couldn’t really figure out why Henrietta Hen traded her egg away and then wanted it back. However, my kids like the story. Each page has a few sentences on it with a corresponding picture, so it was great for my new reader. What she couldn’t read, she was able to work through by looking at the pictures. Since each page is short, it is great for kids with short attention spans. My kids did enjoy the end where he tried to cook what he traded for.

The Fox and the Hen is a fun book for kids.

Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey Review and Giveaway

Lisa — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 01:06:39 +0000

Did you enjoy the first Curious George movie and soundtrack? If so, you will be super excited to know that there will be a Curious George 2 movie and soundtrack that will be released worldwide on March 2nd! This movie will be about Curious George and the man with the yellow hat heading across the country to reunite Kayla, a homesick elephant, with her family. Our kids will learn that with family, friends, and determination, you can overcome anything. Like the first movie, the soundtrack is top notch and gives a great feel for the movie. The tracks included are:

1) “Life Less Ordinary”                Carbon Leaf
2) “The Friendship”            Carbon Leaf
3) “California Sun”            Brian Wilson
4) “On A Roll”                 Carbon Leaf
5) “Heart Of The Day”          Carbon Leaf
6) “Let Your Troubles Roll By” Carbon Leaf
7) “Walking In The Sun”                Carbon Leaf
8) “Follow That Monkey”                Jackie Greene
9) “Moon Man”                  Heitor Pereira
10) “Going East”                       Heitor Pereira
11) “Giving A Hand”            Heitor Pereira
12) “Zoo”                      Heitor Pereira
13) “Friendship”               Heitor Pereira

This is definitely a soundtrack that your kids will get up and dance too (well, mine did). I have to admit though, my personal favorite has to be Life Less Ordinary. Since we liked it so much, I’ve arranged for one lucky winner to win the Curious George 2: Follow That Monkey soundtrack! Here’s what you need to do:

Head over to 429 Records and tell me which song on this soundtrack you think you’d like best.

The Cruising Caddy

Lisa — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 12:11:35 +0000

The Cruising Caddy is a great purse to have around. It is both a travel tote and water bottle holder. That being said, you also have a enough room to hold all your items. I love it because I use it to hold sippy cups in my house. This is way more stylish than using a diaper bag! The front pocket is pretty deep and gives you plenty of room for your credit cards, cash, license, etc. and is held shut by Velcro. If you aren’t comfortable with that, there is a great hideaway inner pocket. There is a 54″ adjustable strap with this which allows you to wear it over your shoulder or sling style. It’s also non-girly, so you can give it your husband to use or hold without him being embarrassed. My favorite part of this purse has to be the key clip. I hate losing my keys all over the house, and this solves that problem!

The Cruising Caddy is a great purse for travel or if you have kids!
