Glow Stick Bracelets - 100 Bracelets Review #glowsticks

If you have kids you know how much they LOVE glow sticks. It doesn't matter how young or old they are, they never get tired of seeing a big container of glow sticks. It just makes any event that much more exciting. From Sweet Sixteens, to Bar and Bat Mitzvahs to beach parties, glow sticks add that extra special fun to any event.

There are so many fun things to do with Glow Sticks from party decor to special lighting for any occasion. Think about all the fun you can have between now and Christmas. We had fun with them camping out this weekend at a Scouting event.  The kids had so much fun hanging out by the campfire glowing in the dark with their bracelets. Some of the kids looped a bunch together with the connectors to make a cool glow in the dark circle multi-color necklace too.

How else are we going to be using the rest of the glow sticks? I reserved a few with Halloween on the way. They are going to complement all the kids Halloween costumes too from the green M+M one to the Harry Potter.  A perfect way to light up the night when running around the neighborhood.

They come in a great reusable tube with the glowsticks on one end and if you turn over the tube on the other end is a whole bunch of small connectors.  You can use them to make tons of novel creations with your glowsticks. Have fun this holiday season!

You can buy these fun glow stick bracelets right on Amazon too

Key West Health and Beauty USDA Certified Organic Raw Shea ButterReview #sheabutter

My skin is always so dry no matter what the season. I have tried so many different creams and lotions over the years. I recently heard about a simple but truly effective organic moisturizer called Shea Butter.  I had always seen it as part of  ingredient lists but never thought about using it by itself or as part of DIY beauty creations. Key West Shea Butter is 100% organic which makes me happy right from the start.  It gives me natural relief for my dry skin too. Shea butter is extracted from the nut of the African shea tree. The purest form of shea butter is in its raw or unrefined state.

If you didn't know, natural shea butter is an excellent moisturizer for the face and body and is widely used for hair treatments of all kinds.  It is also well known for its natural healing properties. It is also a great natural option that many ladies use to relieve stretch marks from pregnancy.  I really wish I had known about it back then when I was pregnant...I would have used it 10x every single day!

This raw, unrefined, organic African shea butter is available in a large 14 oz size, which is nearly a full pound of shea butter.  I love this reclosable tub too. It makes it easy to take out exactly how much I need. It melts quickly once it touches warm skin.  I have already used it for DIY hand creams and moisturizers this week. I add a bit of lavender oil and blend...just amazing...my skin is soft and beautifully scented too. 

You can pick up this wonderful organic raw shea butter and have it at your door quickly.

Sports Armband by Spartan Five for iPhone 5 Review #Spartanfive

Well, I finally just got plain tired of running outside, on the treadmill or endless time on the elliptical with no music. I just worried too much about dropping that expensive iPhone every time you exercised. I decided it was time to exercise my right to check out the Spartan Five armband.

This great armband even has a longer strap to fit all arm sizes. I am petite so I actually have no problem with fit but that is super for motivating anyone to get out there and exercise. No need to purchase additional straps. This armband has a top quality "pleather" case with scratch resistant clear cover so I have easy access to all my front device buttons on my iphone 5. It is hand washable and water resistant so no worries...sweat away! It has a Velcro closure for easy single handed action too plus a safety reflective strip on the front.

It is well constructed for frequent use too. It is made of lightweight water resistant lycra covered neoprene which means that it is flexible yet sturdy, this case fits nice and snug on my arm even when I am running or jumping. It is compatable with several kinds of devices for convenience. It fits Apple iPhone 5/5S/5C/ipod 4/5 and the strap fits 17.5 inch arm circumference so you have a great fit no matter what your size.

It is easy to install your device in the Spartan Five and even remove it fast. You just slide the device in through the convenient opening in the rear, then you select the correct strap length.  All you do then is tighten and secure the strap snugly on your arm. You are ready to rock and roll, run or whatever you do to work yourself out.

They have even upgraded the Spartan 5 in response to consumer comments. They were told that the volume buttons on the device were hard to operate so they have included a FREE set of ear buds with volume control.  Isn't that wonderful? Spartan Five wants you to enjoy your music and get your fitness in so they do everything they can to make the experience 5 star.  You can pick the Spartan Five sports armband up like I did on Amazon for the ultimate in online convenience.

Beauty Box Five October 2014 Effortless Allure @beautybox5 #spattydaddy #bellapierre #chapstickplease #nanacoco #lashem

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample of the products for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.

I love it....Beauty Box Five has the most amazing outlook no matter what the season.  I can manage to keep it all together at work and at home with BB5 to help out my glam look.  BB5 shows you how you can project some effortless allure right into fall with a smart new beauty look.  Check out all the trendiest of fall fashions and hot colors...don't forget to bookmark your fave finds and share with friends too. Everyone loves getting the inner scoop. I like trying new beauty products from sunscreens to lipsticks and find that I often find new faves.  That is one of the great things about BB5.  You can try lots of new things and sub in new favorites without being stuck with a huge bottle of this or that. I happens to the best of us even with green intentions. Sometimes I look at a product in the store but I worry it might not be for me and I don't want to spend all that money if I don't know that I really like it.  Who needs something else to sit on the bathroom shelf or take up more room in a drawer? I would always feel guilty. Every once in a while you get lucky and the store has a sample or perhaps a beauty company sends you a sample and you get to try it first.  That is the premise behind BB5.

The ideal solution for all of us is brought to you by Beauty Box 5. They understand  and created their great sampling box program. Beauty Box 5 is an amazing subscription beauty box sampler that is delivered right to your doorstep (or mailbox) filled with a combination of 5 brand new cosmetic samples monthly, quarterly or annually. You can start out at just $12 a month or save more by getting a longer subscription. Signing up to receive Beauty Box 5 each month is a great new way for anyone from teens to moms to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you.  Each month they include tips and tricks for the products on the back of this little card below to help you get the most out of your beauty samples each month.

Beauty Box 5 is always on the lookout for the latest new items to make the best matches for your own personal taste and lifestyle.  The prices are reasonable too. You can get a Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12, quarterly for $30 or annually for just $99.  Shipping is always free.  A fun way to check out lots  of the new beauty stuff out there without a whole lot of $$ investment. The great part is that if you like something, you can just up and buy the full size item, right?  Much better than buying a full size you-know-what-beauty-item and paying a fortune and then it sits in the makeup bag gathering dust because it doesn't work for you.

Beauty Box 5 mixes it up with their brands and keeps things adventurous. They source from a mix of niche, luxe, regular drugstore, vegan and eco-conscious brands.  One month you might get hair care, nail care, makeup, skin care, fragrances or even beauty accessories or a mix of any of the above.  I love the suspense!  You will get a carefully curated blend of travel, full-size and deluxe samples from their most current collection.
  

I just received the October Effortless Allure Box this week.  The team at Beauty Box 5 wants to celebrate the change of seasons and not by hiding behind layers and layers of dark clothes. Go big. Take care of yourself and add those special touches. If I can do the Glamamama Balancing Act then you sure can. Sometimes it is a challenge, yes it sure is but I do it. You have only one YOU and each one of us is special in our own way. We deserve to take a little bit of time to beautify and keep our look fresh. Beauty Box 5 is here with a few special treats to help you along the way.  Here is the scoop on the amazing treats that were in this sweet sea blue October box:

As always It was chock full of amazing goodies that I could not wait to try. There were goodies for my nails, face, lips and eyes tucked in there.  Lots of special items to keep me looking fresh and alluring wherever my fall days take me.  They take me all over too....from the the mid-Atlantic to Washington, D.C. and to Florida. I am one busy mama!

The first treat in this box is an Extend Your Beauty Cosmetic Tool.  The perfect solution of how to extract the last bit of the expensive cream out of the jar or container. Who hasn't been in this situation. Sometimes you feel a little bit thrifty trying to come up with solutions but that doesn't stop me. I buy some luxury products and I want to get my bang for my buck. I have tried q-tips, butter knives, chopsticks...you name it. None of them really were super effective but I had to try. Now I have something that really works. It is even dishwasher safe too. What an amazing invention. I will be squirreling this little tool away for the next time I need it...I am sure it will be soon. Retail: $5.49/1 tool

The next product in the box is perfect for my 40-something tired eyes. Lashem Picture Perfect serum is amazing. If this can wake up my exhausted eyes and make me look good than it can work for anyone. It is a light serum that feels cool and refreshing. It reduced the fine lines and softened them fast. I applied it to my just cleansed skin as directed.  It felt lightweight and it didn't cause any irritation. I put on my makeup over it and used it as a primer for my eye area and I looked wonderful. I plan in picking up an extra one at 0.5 oz it is a great size to stash right into my makeup bag ready for a long work day or a business trip.  A super steal at $3.95 for 0.5 fl oz

Who hasn't tried ChapStick? This isn't your old ChapStick though.  This is Chapstick Hydration Lock. It doesn't just moisturize, it lets you choose to moisturize and or to renew. I like to use both in the morning under my lipstick or on the weekends just by itself. At night I like to just moisturize so I wake up with super soft lips. Options, options...hmmm, how do you choose? A little tip that BB5 shared is to use it as a base under lipstick to make it go on super smooth. It worked like a charm for me. Even the price is ChapStick reasonable at $2.99/0.154oz. 

Who doesn't love a double duty makeup product? Bellapierre Cosmetics Cheek and Lip Stain in Pink is a hard worker for any busy lady.  This is a winner for me especially on those busy days. It stays put on my lips and my cheeks and makes me look fresh and awake. It goes on easily with the tip of your finger and is my best friend on the days I am just running plain late. It is on your lips and cheeks and you are out the door before you can say FAST.  This is staying right on top of my makeup bag...ready when I need it!   An amazing deal at $19.99/0.31 oz

The last item in this exciting October box for a final shiny treat is the luxury Nanacoco  Nail Polish in this shiny blue shade called Mermaid Lake.  I tried it out yesterday and this gorgeous nail lacquer goes on smoothly for shiny finish. Go stylish and trendy and say goodbye to your boring nails with this pretty color that is perfect for any season. By the way, blue and orange are so amazing together. I found it easy to do a pretty mani  and look like a pro.  Retail: $3.95/0.5fl oz

So, are you ready to get in on the fun? The ladies from BB5 have put together another really amazing box full of beauty fun perfect to take you straight into Fall. Don't forget to join Beauty Box 5 and get in on the goodies to keep you looking fab all four season.

Do you love to discover amazing music? I do and so does my family.  I recently heard about Manic Drive and just love this band. They have really upped their touring and with their recent new releases they have just become so popular. 

ABOUT THE BAND:

Manic Drive has been widely known as a Canadian band who always delivers a great show, but over the past few years and project releases, they have added to their extensive touring of Canadian and US markets multiple Billboard Top 10 & 20 singles on CHR & Christian Rock Radio. Manic Drive is clearly very intentional about reaching their generation and inspiring them to pursue a deeper walk with Christ and to get involved in changing the world they are inheriting. And they are uniquely equipped to do so. The band members, all in their early-mid twenties, have made sacrifices to pursue God’s call on their lives. Their life experience, spiritual maturity and ministry have opened doors to speak into the lives of their own generation and that is perhaps the most defining characteristic of this group of guys.

You can learn more about the band and check out some of their songs on their YouTube channel below.

Heart On My Sleeve album from Mary Lambert #HeartOnMySleeve #O2O

I participated in the Mary Lambert Heart On My Sleeve album review program as a member of One2One Network. I was provided a free album to review but all opinions are my own.

You probably have heard of Mary Lambert by now if you haven't been living in a cave. I think her luckiest break was when she decided to take on the task of writing and singing the hook on the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’ marriage equality anthem “Same Love.” That just changed it all forever for this funky Seattle singer-songwriter who kept the lights and heat on as a brunch waitress and bartender.  The time was just right...right time for her and Mary Lambert had herself a big ole label (Capitol Records) and an EP "Welcome To The Age of My Body."  I forgot to mention that she also got nominated for two Grammy Awards “Song of the Year” and “Album of The Year." That wasn't quite enough though because she also performed on the historical Grammy telecast with Macklemore, Lewis, and Madonna, while Queen Latifah memorably married 33 same-sex couples. 

Mary Lambert is an amazing songwriter and musician with a real purpose. She had lofty goals with Heart on My Sleeve.  She wanted to do more than just create an amazing album. She insisted on creating something that positively impacted the world. Of course, she wanted to have fun doing it, stay true to herself and make a little bit of cash. Nothing wrong with that though... songwriting is hard work and she wants to do more than just squirrel it away for herself. She said, “I want to buy my mom a house. I want to start a charity that offers free mental health treatment. I want to tip brunch waitresses hundred dollar bills!"  She wants to do good with her music while making tunes that people will enjoy.  Lambert said,  “I wanted the songs to be poignant and raw, but I want to hear them on the radio. I like to describe Heart On My Sleeve as a pop album with a conscience.”  I think the album really fits her description.  

I love the way Mary writes about what she knows. All her music is straight from her heart and her life. She wrote all the lyrics and produced the album along co-producers Eric Rosse and Benny Cassette, and songwriter MoZella. Heart On My Sleeve is an honest depiction of where Lambert is now. She says,  “This year has been the best of my entire life, which is not to say it hasn't come with its fair share of hurdles, heartbreak, and harsh lessons,” she says. “I can only write about the experiences I've had. This album is inspired by the depth of all of that love, and the journey that it takes to get there. It’s a moment for me not to be a doormat anymore and to feel powerful and hopefully inspire that in other people in a way that's fun and makes people feel something. I think that's the message of the whole thing.”  You really sense that coming through on the different tracks too. I loved "Secrets."

Each song on Heart on My Sleeve shares her personal experiences like, “Be With Me,” which she wrote around the time she met her girlfriend.  You feel what she is feeling and all the emotions that accompany those new experiences.  It doesn't really matter what your sexual orientation is...you can connect with it. You really get to peek a little bit inside Mary's soul with that song.  “So Far Away” is another song about her relationships and how she tries to makes things work long distance.  Who hasn't had a long distance romance? You feel her pain and struggles.  I just loved her cover of the classic 1980's song from Rick Springfield, “Jessie’s Girl.” It is a great song which is totally switched up in Mary Lambert's version.  It is a 2014 version which is much darker and very interesting. 

I was eager to hear the title track, “Heart On My Sleeve.” This is a love song that Lambert says summed up how she approached writing the lyrics for the album. It really fits the whole album perfectly. The album’s first single, “Secrets” is another great song that totally resonates with me. It will hit home for so many people especially teens.  The lyrics go,  "They tell us from the time we're young / To hide the things we don't like about ourselves / Inside ourselves / I'm not the only one / Who spent so long attempting to be someone else / Well I’m over it / I don't care if the world knows what my secrets are." 

Mary Lambert opens up so much in this album and you feel like you really get to know her through all her songs. The vulnerability and sharing in each song resonated with me and really added to my enjoyment of the album. This is a great first album that I think is going to resonate with alot of other people as well. Everyone has gotten stabbed in the back or been vulnerable at one time and you feel a kinship with her when she includes that in her songs. As Mary says, "There is so much shame and guilt in our society, and I think it has deprived a lot of people from living fully. We're all facing battles. We've all had someone who has hurt us, so let's talk about it. I believe vulnerability is what will save the world. I wanted to point the lens at myself in hopes of inspiring others to do the same. This song is my dirty laundry, and that's actually really freeing. Now I can walk around with accidental pieces of bagel in my bra and eat it anyway.”  Don't you just love her attitude too?

Skintimate Happy Legs Crowdtap Party #SkintimateHappyLegs Hosted Party

Disclosure:  I was recently chosen to participate in a Skintimate Happy Legs Party event through Crowdtap. I received complimentary products and promotional gifts in exchange for my honest opinion. 

What could be more fun than a GNO---oops I mean in not out. As in SPA PARTY? Thanks to Crowdtap I had the opportunity to host a bunch of friends for a pampering party.  Crowdtap knows that all of us ladies work hard and they were determined to do what they could to help us to feel confident and ready for anything.

They sent me an amazing Skintimate Primp, Protect, Pamper kit to help us tackle whatever challenges lay ahead of us. After the ten of us ladies finished pampering ourselves we totally felt refreshed and ready-to-go. Some appetizers, a few glasses of wine and some desserts also helped things along just a wee bit too.

After trying the Skintimate® Raspberry Rain® along with the Schick® Quattro for Women® Sparkle, I have to say that prepping my legs for the day is as easy as Primp, Protect, Pamper. It is a nice way to take care of your body and your senses at the same time. Take a peek at the kit I was sent to share with my girlfriends:

• 10 Trial-Sized Samples of Skintimate® Raspberry Rain®
• 3 Schick® Quattro for Women® Sparkle 4 ct.
• 1 Exfoliating Scrub
• 1 Post Shave Lotion
• 1 Nail Polish

I told everyone to come as they are this weekend...I also gave all of them instructions not to bother to shave for a few days either because I had a special surprise for them. When they saw everything laid out in the bathroom they were so surprised and actually kind of excited. 

My friend Stacey said it would be great to have her legs exfoliated, shaved, moisturized and toes polished so she would be ready to go come Monday morning. Tammy said that she was totally on the mark and grabbed a glass of wine. Deb just sighed happily. We really had a lovely time chatting, exfoliating, shaving, moisturizing our legs and polishing our toes.

The scent in the guest bath was just intoxicating.  Everyone was so thrilled they got to take home a bottle of Skintimate® Raspberry Rain® and a Schick® Quattro for Women® Sparkle razor of their own. Our legs were super smooth and ready to go for the beginning of the week by the time everyone was leaving.

Ragu Makes Dinner a Success even on the Busy Days or Evenings #NewTraDish #RaguSauceMasters

Disclosure: I was recently chosen to participate in a Ragu Sampling event through Crowdtap. I received a complimentary coupon in exchange for my honest opinion.  

So Ragu told me that it is time to take my Ragú® Sauce Master status to the next level and create a Ragú® #NewTraDish recipe of my own. That’s right, I was up for the challenge to take a few minutes to create my own delicious spin on a Ragú® classic dish to share with friends and family!

Ragu makes it easy to pull a yummy, hot meal out of the oven on any day of the week. Trust me, I am one busy momma. I work, I have kids, I cook healthy meals but it is a challenge. I need all the help I can get. Sauces like the ones Ragu has in the local supermarket make my life a lot easier. I always have them in the house.  I like to stock up when there is a sale then when I am pressed for time I can put together something yummy and homemade in a flash. It is healthier since you avoid that fast food trap too.

I boiled up some whole wheat rotini and drained it. I put it in a casserole dish and poured a container of Ragu over it. Add grated Grana Padano cheese to taste and a can of organic white beans. I added two cups of fresh organic chopped spinach and a can of organic black olives. I baked it for 25 minutes until it was bubbling then I added some low fat mozzarella on top. Dinner was delicious. I invited my friends Amy and Ben over and my tween had her friend Liz as well.  Liz's mom came later and sampled my dish as well. Everyone loved my quick creation and it was healthy to boot. Try Ragu in my easy recipe and let me know how it turns out.
