I turn 32 on Friday of this week and have now started worrying about my age.  Actually, I don’t care how old I am — I just care how old I look.  One of the easiest ways to keep looking young is to use products like WrinkleFree Eyes.  This product is so easy to use.  Once a week, you use the 20 minute micro-charged eye patches.  You wear the patch for 20 minutes and that’s it!  Once a day, you use the 24 Hour Face Lift Wrinkle Filler.  Then, every night, you use the Retinol 4X intensive cream.  If you get any side effects, you are looking at some possible tingling and redness.  That’s it! This is clinically proven to reduce your wrinkle appearance up to 85% in only 20 minutes!  This works through a process called “lontophoresis”.  This basically means that this activites on contact with your skin, and it drives the Retinal 4x deep into the skin.

Now, does it work?  For me, yes.  I don’t have a lot of wrinkles yet, but what few I do have, this worked like a charm on them.  I can definitely see  myself using this when I know I have something important coming up like a school reunion, family reunion, wedding, you know, anything like that when looking my best is important.  This is a product that you can get at stores like WalMart, Walgreens, and Target and priced at $29.99 which is quite affordable.  If you are looking to get rid of your wrinkles, you definitely need to try out WrinkleFree Eyes.

If you are looking for a very affordable gift for kids ages 3 – 7, then you must get the Poingo.  With the Poingo, you are able to touch pictures and/or the text, the their favorite characters are brought to life with either music, sounds, and words.  The best part is that the Poingo starter kit is $34.99 and is available at Target, Toys R Us, Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club, and BJ’s Wholesale Clubs.  It comes with the pen shaped Poingo and two large hardcover interactive storybooks.  This is definitely affordable, and the starter kit is awesome.  You don’t have to automatically buy another $100 worth of books right off the bat.  You have a working system right from the start.  The book choices are excellent.  The books that came with ours are Cars and Finding Nemo, so it was definitely right up my kids alley.  These movies are favorites in our house, so my kids had a definite interest in the books.   They also have Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and Winnie The Pooh.  The pen itself is simple to use.  All you have to do is click it on the part of the book with the words, and it will read that whole section.  You can also click on the images and for sound effects.  There are words that are highlighted also, and you get a definition of the word.  You can also click on images and find out what they are or get a cool sound effect.  Madison is actually able to take this and read the book by herself.  She loves having that kind of independence.  My kids love to read, so this is really a naturally progression for them.

This is one of the best affordable educational toys on the market for kids.  I recommend checking it out — you can even try a demo here.

Up until recently, I had never heard of the Only Hearts Club.  The Only Hearts Club are real dolls for real girls. There are eight culturally diverse dolls.  They dress like real kids, are poseable, and are nine inches tall.  Their names are: Taylor Angelique, Karina Grace, Olivia Hope, Briana Joy, Lily Rose, Anna Sophia, Kayla Rae and Hannah Faith.  These girls form a club together called the Only Hearts Club and their motto is to “listen to your heart and do the right thing.”  For our house, these fit perfectly into Madison’s dollhouse.  There is another kind of doll out there that I cannot stand (I won’t name it), but these are a welcome alternative!  I love the positive message they are sending out to little girls.  They also have soft bodies which is great in my house (not that the kids are going to whack one another with them, but you never know).

They also have a line a books for your daughters to enjoy. We have the hardcover It’s Hard To Say Good-bye book.  The book about one of the girls losing her dog. One of the other girls goes to find another puppy for her and falls in love with the puppy herself.  I won’t tell you about the rest of the story, but it is about how the Only Hearts Club came about.  It is a cute short story and just the right length to hold young girls attention spans.  It also taught some morals without being obvious about it.

They even have Only Hearts Pets.  They are 2 1/2 inches tall and really cute.  They are really soft and each pet has its own name.  It also comes with a backpack clip.  The paws of each animal also have Velcro on them, so you are able to have them hold small objects like a pen or you can create a bracelet with secerql of them.  There are all sorts of pets also:  dogs, cats, monkeys, cows, pigs, frogs, and elephants.

All of these Only Hearts Club products are perfect for the little girls you have in your life.  They can be found at Target or online at The Only Hearts Club.  The Only Hearts Books retail at $3.99 each. The Only Hearts Club dolls retail at $15.99 each, and the Only Hearts Pets retail at $3.49 each.  These prices make this a very affordable present this holiday season.

Have you ever went to the Build A Bear Workshop?  If so, you will know that it is one of the coolest places around if you have kids.  It is seriously like watching magic happen as you watch your bear being made.  It is awesome that you can personalize it and everything.  However, when we moved from Aurora back to Chicago, I didn’t realize that we were going to be leaving our beloved Build A Bear Workshop.  I have no idea where one is now. That being said, there are a couple of ways for me to get my Build A Bear fix.

First, there is a celebrity auction going on right now! They will be auctioning off celebrity-built Build-A-Bear Workshop bears along with autographed copies of the Build-A-Bear Wii game. These bears and signed games will be on eBay’s Giving Works to raise money for the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Southern California. The bears were built by celebrities like Tori Spelling & Dean McDermott, the Jonas Brothers, James Gandolfini, Melissa Joan Hart, Bonnie Hunt, Mitchel Musso, Meaghan Jette Martin and more.  This would definitely be a talking point for your house!

If that isn’t enough, Wii has come to the rescue for those of use who don’t like by a Build A Bear workshop!  They now have a game called Build-A-Bear Workshop® A Friend Fur All Seasons.  Up to four players can play and you can name, feed, and dress your bear.  You can even go on adventures with them!  This game is rated E for Everyone, so you can enjoy it no matter what age you are!  You can buy this game at places like Walmart, Target, and really any game retailers.  However, I have a great giveaway for you!  How would you like your own Build A Bear game?  Here’s what you need to do:

I recently came across a ton of items that I can definitely use in my kitchen, and I know you can too!  These are all made my Weiman Products and should be every kitchen!

First, the Weiman Stainless Steel Wipes work great and work on pretty much every stainless steal product you may own.  They clean, shine, polish, and protect.  It leaves a greaseless streak free shine.  It also repels fingerprints (which is a huge thing for me with two little ones who like to touch everything), watermarks, dirt, and dust.  I love that you can use it both indoor and outdoors.  You can find them at Ace Hardware, Expo Design Center, Kmart, Target, True Value, and Walmart.

Next, I tried out the Weiman Granite Wipes.  I don’t have granite counter countertops in my kitchen.  However, these worked excellent on my laminate countertop.  However, I do have a granite sink in my bathroom, so I have been using these there.  The granite wipes easily removed grease, grime, dirt, and toothpaste.  This workds well on Corian, cermanic, chrome, and fiberglass.  It is also certifited Kosher.  These can be found at Target, Walmart, True Value, Kroger, and Publix.

One of my all time favorites is the Weiman CookTop Quick Wipes.  I hate cleaning my stovetop off and having a ton of streaks!  Now, these wipes are the nation’s top rated brand for glass cook top wipes according to IRI and ACNielsen.  They clean, shine, and protect with just one wipe (which is exactly what us busy moms need!).  This won’t scratch and actually helps prevent food from sticking.  This is also certified Kosher.  These are available at Target, Walmart, Ace Hardware, True Value, Expo Design Center, Kroger, and Publix.

My other most favorite product of theirs has to be the Weiman CookTop Scrubbing Pads.  Since my stove is fairly new, I had to use anything that might even scratch it.  However, no matter how careful you are, stuff gets spilled on your stove.  It just happens.   The scrubbing pads are guaranteed not to scrach and are safe for all smooth top range.  These also reduct clean up time by up to 50%!  I use these in conjuction with the Cook Top Cleaner, and you don’t have to use a lot of elbow grease to get the food up. These can be found at Ace Hardware, True Value, and Walmart.

I always feel that if you find a brand that works, you should stick to it.  This is a brand that works, and it works great!
