Aerobie Skylighter Lighted Disc Review And Giveaway

Skylighter Lighted Disc By Aerobie
Review And Giveaway
Aerobie, the maker of an assortment of wonderful and fun sports products, has taken frisbee to a whole new level with their Skylighter lighted disc!  This fun lighted flying disc uses powerful LED lights to illuminate the disc's clear center and the translucent colored rim to make this Skylighter light up the night sky.  Not only for night time fun, the Skylighter can also be used for play without the light feature in the daytime!  

The Skylighter is easy for all ages to enjoy with its soft rubber rim that provides for easy gripping and catching.  This disc comes in colors yellow, red, blue, and green!  The Skylighter comes with the 2 lithium batteries required for use, and provide for long lasting fun.  Aerobie products are also proudly made in the U.S.A.!


I had the wonderful opportunity to review the Aerobie Skylighter disc with my family.  This lighted disc is so much more exciting than your average frisbee!  At night it lights up the sky for entertaining fun for the whole family!  I was really surprised how bright it lit up.  The LED lights really make it bright, able to stand out and successfully play a game of frisbee at night.  When these summer days turn into night and we just want to cool off as the temperature goes down in the evening, we now have a fun activity the whole family can join in on!

The soft rubber rim that surrounds the outside of the disc makes for easy catching!  It also seems to pad you a lot easier from accidental run ins from missed catches, unlike the hard plastic frisbee alternative.  It's surprisingly durable as well!  My kids are still younger and not quite the pros of throwing and catching discs, so the house/street/car all took some hits, but the disc stayed working perfectly and the rubber rim prevented any damage to anything.  I think the Skylighter is a great way to get out and spend some time as a family.  We have been making it a regular activity to go out and do at night since we received ours!  The Skylighter gets two thumbs up from this mom!

Montagne Jeunesse Facial Masque Review


Montagne Jeunesse Facial Masque Review

Want to feel like you just came from the spa but don't want to pay those spa prices?  Maybe you just want to relax and pamper yourself.  Montagne Jeunesse is ready to help with their wonderful line of facial masque products, designed with your skin, and budget in mind!  This unique line of facial masques boast natural ingredients that cleanse, purify, refresh, and pamper your skin to help you put your best face forward!
 

I had the exciting opportunity to review some Montagne Jeunesse facial masques for myself!  I was sent their Cucumber Anti-Stress Peel-Off Masque, the Exfoliating Honey Crystal Masque, and the Deep Pore Cleaning Crushed Raspberry Fruit Smoothie Masque to try for myself!  The Cucumber Anti-Stress Masque is good for problem skin and removing blackheads and impurites.  The Exfoliating Crystal Masque uses sugar cane crystals and dead sea salt to exfoliate and balance the skin.  The Fruit Smoothie Masque smooths, softens, and unclogs pores.  This masque contains 3 times the anti-oxidant properties of red wine!
 

I will start off by first saying that these are by far the best smelling facial masques I have ever tried.  While most facial masques I have tried usually have a chemical smell to them, these masques smelled sweet and fragrant!  While I enjoyed trying each of the different masks, my favorite hands down was the Crushed Raspberry Fruit Smoothie Masque.  The sweet smell of raspberries while I had the masque on was so relaxing and pleasant.  My skin felt so soft after this masque, no joke!  If you're looking for a fantastic product to keep your face smooth, clean, and rejuvenated - this product is it!  

You can find Montagne Jeunesse Masques at:
  • Walmart
  • Ultra Beauty
  • and other fine beauty establishments!

Designerliners Review And Giveaway




Designerliners
"Dress The Mess!"

Designerliners are eco-friendly and super stylish biodegradable trash bags that help you to "Dress The Mess" with a wonderful array of decorative patterns.  With Designerliners you can dress up any trash can in your home, and at the same time feel good about helping the planet!

Muriel Weiner is the wonderful woman behind Designerliners.  As one of New York's most successful executives in the advertising business, she has revolutionized the way we look at our trash!  Muriel's stance is that if paper towels can be dressed up with pretty designs, why can't our trash bag liners?  Then came the ingenious idea of Designerliners!
Designerliners Color/Pattern Combos
 * You can purchase Designerliners at Designerliners.com, eBay, Amazon, and Alice.com *

Two other patterns are available only on eBay and Amazon; the 7 gallon size Green Gingham and Brown Leopard.


I had the wonderful opportunity of reviewing the Red Gingham 7 gallon size trash bags.  The bags came in a pack of 12.  First impression was that I loved the packaging.  They didn't come in your average trash bag box, which was nice and unique!  I also loved the Red Gingham print, as my home is decorated mostly in Americana decor, so these liners match perfectly!  The whole idea of a decorative trash liner is so refreshing to me.  Now that I have been using the Designerliners, I love the look of my waste baskets.  Did I just say that?  Yep!  I truly do!  I can't think of any reason to want to go back to the plain white trash bags again.  With all the different patterns Designerliner has to offer, you can change up your look often, or accessorize the waste basket in each room of your home to match your decor.  It's ingenious!

Where To Buy:  Designerliners come as a 12 pack for $9.95 and can be purchased through designerliners.com, eBay, Amazon.com, and Alice.com.

My Buddha Board Creation

I had the wonderful opportunity to have a chance to review the Buddha Board!  Set up was super simple.  I just put some water in the tray, set the board in the easel slot of the tray, and started to paint!  I love the way it truly does help put you into a relaxation mode.  I decided to start my creation after the kiddos went to bed, so it was truly a relaxing experience to just let my mind wander and paint whatever fun things came to mind!  Even better, my creations disappeared like magic into thin air so that I could start over and over again!  This is simply a product you have to try for  yourself to experience the joy of it.  I would definitely recommend this to everyone.  I mean, who couldn't use some stress relieving?  I think this would be a fun gift idea as well!

Prefense Hand Sanitizer Review And Giveaway


Prefense Hand Sanitizer Review And Giveaway

Prefense hand sanitizer is a completely unique and alcohol free, moisturizing hand sanitizer.  Safe for adults and children, just one application daily protects you and your family from germs for 24+ hours!  With the arrival of back to school, keeping germs from traveling home with your child can be a challenge.  The 1.5 oz. bottle of hand sanitizer is a great and portable sized choice to have your child keep in their backpack at school.  

Prefense foaming hand sanitizer dries into an invisible, protective film that acts as a barrier against germs all day!  Prefense works by slicing the cell wall of pathogens you may come into contact with for up to 10 hand washings.  Prefense also contains a silica complex that will keep your skin feeling moisturized, not dried out like other hand sanitizers.

* Prefense Foaming Hand Sanitizer has been tested against strains of Staphylococcus aureus and drug resistant MRSA strains *

I had the wonderful opportunity to review a bottle of Prefense Hand Sanitizer for myself.  I also let my kids try it out, since it is kid friendly!  I reviewed the 1.5 oz. size bottle that is good for 120 sprays!  The first thing I checked for when I applied the product was its ability to easily be rubbed into my skin.  I really dislike some of the other brands of hand sanitizers out there that are very oily feeling and seem to take too long to get worked into the skin.  Prefense passed the test on this part!  The product did not feel oily at all, and it easily blended right into my skin.  

Another thing I checked for right away was the smell of the product.  I was pleasantly surprised to find that Prefense has a very neutral, mild scent.  The faint hint of smell I did pick up was one that smelled clean, like fresh washed hands!  Next I let my kids apply the product to get their opinion.  They were easily able to apply the product and they all mentioned that they liked the smell.  For us, this product passed the test of what we would look for in a trusty hand sanitizer!  I love how I can apply it just once a day to all of us and it will protect against germs all day long!

Buy: You can purchase Prefense products directly from their website, or through Amazon.com

5 Fantastic Lunch Ideas For Back To School

5 Fantastic Lunch Ideas For Back To School


If your kids are like mine, they don't always want what's on the school cafeteria menu for lunch.  Thinking of how to get creative with a "brown bag" lunch can be challenging.  This summer I have been brainstorming up my own ideas, as well as scouring the internet, for a world outside of PB&J and bologna sandwiches.  I think I have found some winners!


1)   Pita Pocket Sandwiches - I love this idea!  Lined with some pesto or hummus and stuffed with some fresh veggies, cheeses, and/or cold cuts, these are a fresh twist on the old sandwich.

2)   Pasta Salad -  This one is easy to make the night before and then refrigerate in a reusable Tupperware container.  Use some cooked tri-color pasta and add some peas, olives, and cubed cheddar cheese.  Top off with a splash of low fat Italian dressing.  Just don't forget to pack the fork!

3)   Bagels Turned FabHere's another sandwich alternative, the bagel!  The combos for bagel sandwiches are endless!  Parents magazine recommends a bagel topped with veggie cream cheese and cucumber slices.  My kids love salami, so I thought a salami and low fat cream cheese duo would be a fantastic idea!  How about a mozzarella and sliced tomato bagel?

4)   Rice Roll Ups - This one I found on Parents.com and you must check it out!  With some cooked rice, deli roast beef, avocado, red pepper, and carrots - you can have a healthy roll up that looks fun and tasty!  Check it out here.

5)   Bell Pepper Chicken Salad Cups - This is one I came up with when I thought of ways I could change up one of my kids' favorites, chicken salad!  Instead of serving the chicken salad on a sandwich, I thought why not use a hollowed out green/red/or yellow bell pepper?  Nothing wrong with getting a little extra veggies in that lunch pail!


* I would love to hear any other ideas my wonderful readers may have for creative back to school lunches, so comment below and share the love! *
