FlyLine RC Complete Flight System Blog Giveaway #FlyLine & Review

Blazing Babe

I was excited to head to NYC last week to attend  a pre-holiday season event called The Big Toy Book Biggest Day of Play.  They featured a ton of hot toys for Christmas 2012 including the FlyLine Flight System RC Racing and Combat Systems. What a fun toy!  If you are looking for a great RC flying system to keep your boy or girl active, The FlyLine System is for you.  I was impressed to see that in addition to being included in TheBigToyBook this year, FlyLine is also listed as part of the ToysRUs Hot Holiday Toy List for 2012.

It was fantastic to see the FlyLine RC planes in action.  Children of all ages were working the controls (the little ones with some help from mom or dad) and loving it.  The big smiles were everywhere as the kids saw the planes glide through the air and go around and around.  The FlyLine Flight Systems are recommended for ages 8-108 so don't discount Gramma or Grampa either.  This is definitely a fun gift for anyone.  I saw the Blazing Babe Air Racer in action and it was something else!

Some of the key features of the FlyLine Complete Flight Systems are:

• 2 channel digital proportional control
• interface-free 2.4 GHz frequency transmitter
• 2 rechargeable LiPo batteries
• tangle free technology
• tether filaments in 4, 6 and 9 foot lengths
• complete patented anchoring base system with decal stickers

FlyLine planes look really easy because the planes are tethered to an anchoring base system but it really does take practice to get good at flying the plane accurately. The great part is that it is easy to learn the basics right away so you can have fun from the get-go.  You can learn to really learn to master take-offs, landings, climbs, loops, dives, double-loops and knife-edge flight with time.  You can practice more and even learn how to do some crazy stunts, battling maneuvers and cool tricks. Flyline RC planes are fun to operate on your own or you can gather a friend or two and challenge each other to flight competitions! They have Expansion Packs as well.

One of the things I really personally love about FlyLine is that it is a great opportunity to get your kids up and out of the house and away from the computer and tv and spending some quality time outside in the fresh air.  What could be more fun?  You can find FlyLine Complete Flight Systems at Walmart, ToysRUs, Target and tons of other great retailers. You can follow FlyLine on Facebook and Twitter as well. Let me know what you think!

It's Slinky Song Musical Box Review-Remember the fun!

I was recently reintroduced to Slinky® , one of my fave toys from when I was a little girl.  I was lucky enough to get an invite to The Big Toy Book Biggest Day of Holiday Play in New York City on Saturday, December 10. POOF®-Slinky®, Inc. was there with the original Slinky® plus all of their new Slinky toys! 

POOF®-Slinky®, Inc. had the most adorable toy ever, It’s Slinky® Song Musical Box, which was recently released in honor of the 60^thanniversary of the “It’s Slinky® Song.” Did you know this was the longest running commercial jingle in television history?  I didn't until last Saturday! The It’s Slinky® Song Musical Box features a Special Edition Rose Gold Slinky® in a singing box that plays the “It’s Slinky® Song” when you open it.  Who doesn't love a music box?  This definitely is a fun Christmas present or holiday gift for people of any age. It is not too big so I would even suggest it as a good stocking stuffer!

The It’s Slinky® Song Musical Box commemorates Slinky®’s place in American culture with a special edition Slinky® accompanied by that jingle that we all know and love. Just like all Slinky® products, the It’s Slinky® Song Musical Box featuring Special Edition Rose Gold Slinky® is made in America.  Don't you love that??

Slinky® is a fun retro holiday gift idea for anyone. They even have a luxe slinky version below in gold that comes in that beautiful box that would make a great corporate gift for that client who is a challenge to buy for. 

As  POOF®-Slinky®, Inc. says, Slinky truly is a classic piece of Americana and a quintessential childhood toy.  Everyone loves Slinky®....you just can't help but smile when you see it.

Savvy Sampler R.W. Knudsen all-natural Lemon Lime Spritzer Review

Naturally Savvy had so many complimentary goodies included in my box...one of them that I was particularly excited to see was from R. W. Knudsen.  They included a sample bottle of their Lemon Lime Spritzer.  Lemon-lime is one of my favorite flavors too.  This is a refreshing, sparkling beverage that is all natural with no sugar added. There aren't any artificial sweeteners added either. How refreshing---really!! It is also gluten free.

I have to say the spritzer went down easy and it was really refreshing.  I liked that it also contained 60% juice.  I would look for these the next time I went shopping.  Nice to have for  little refreshing treat sometimes.  I can also see using these as a base for summertime cocktails. Sometimes Glamamama just need a little fancy cocktail on the weekends to relax a little after a hectic week.

Savvy Sampler Oscillococcinum Flu Remedy Review and COUPON!

I was pleased to see a box of Oscillococcinum included in the box of goodies from Naturally Savvy.  It is always good to have an extra box on hand.  I have been using Boiron Oscillococcinum since I was in college and living in Italy. It really helped me through one bad fall episode of flu when I lived abroad. It was my first introduction to homeopathy and it really was a positive one! 

I have used Oscillo so many times for myself and for my family to help us get through the flu. It really seems to help reduce the severity and get us back on our feet sooner!  I keep a little "Flu Emergency Kit" in my home including tissues, Tylenol, Advil (kids and adults), a thermometer and Oscillo so we are prepared for any event.  Let me know if you have any other ideas to add to my emergency kit.  We have been lucky so far this year but so many people have been hit you can be sure I have Oscillococcinum ready in my medicine cabinet just in case.  I have my fingers crossed but as a mom, you always need to be prepared. 

Oscillococcinum is a trusted remedy for helping to reduce the severity and duration of flu like symptoms including body aches, headache, fever, chills and fatigue.  It is non-drowsy, no side-effects, no drug interactions and it works naturally with your own body.  There are formulations for adults and children alike.  Boiron has been a world leader in homeopathic medicines for years now so you can trust them too.

Oscillococcinum is indicated for adults and children 2 years of age and older. Always consult with your doctor as well.  There is even an offer right now for a $1.00 off coupon on your next purchase so hurry on over and stock up on your Oscillo.
