THINK AGAIN! Perfect Party Game or Family Game Night Activity Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. I was not financially compensated for this post. I received the product for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the product.
Do you have family game night? Do you enjoy Game Night with friends and family every week or even on a monthly basis?  Maybe you have considered starting a regular Game Night but never found a good game to start with. Spring is coming and so is a great new game that was just released from iello called THINK AGAIN! Set up your own weekly Game Night and try this fun new game.  It is a good opportunity to take some time to relax with your friends or family, enjoy some snacks and drinks and lots of laughs with THINK AGAIN!  You can even get the older kids and tweens in on it because this is a game perfect for anyone age 10+

So, of course you want to know all about how the game works.  THINK AGAIN! is simple, but believe it or not very tricky. Each turn, the person reading the card asks a very simple question to the other players. While they are asking, the reader shows the back of the next card.  This tells the players to shout out the correct or totally wrong answer. For example, if the reader asks, “What  color is milk?” and shows you a  “Wrong” sign, answer fast with “Orange!” or “Purple!” If you shout out the correct answer, “White” you just lost yourself a point. The first player to give the correct wrong answer scores 1 point. Kind of crazy right?  You see how it can be very tricky and very fun too?  Your correct answer could be totally wrong. You may just have to THINK AGAIN! It was a surprise who was really good at this game and who just really kept getting themselves mixed up. We were just slapping our heads each time we got mixed up again and the kids were hysterical.


THINK AGAIN! is a super party game by veteran designers Bruno Cathala and Ludovic Maublanc (creators of the fun Cyclades and Dice Town games).  THINK AGAIN! is a family game appropriate for 3-10 players ages 10 and up. The tweens and teens will love it.  It is very easy to learn the basics but totally unpredictable every single time no matter who is playing.  You mind will get so mixed up you won't believe it. We were laughing at ourselves and one another so much when we played this past weekend.  It is great because you can play a game in 15 minutes..or go longer. You will definitely want to play more than one game though.

THINK AGAIN!  contains 50 question cards (for a total of 300 questions!) and six rule cards for hours of laughs, wrong or right.

THINK AGAIN!
A party game for 3-10 players.
Ages: 10 and up
Playing Time: 15 minutes
MSRP: $14.99
On sale February 2014 in game stores everywhere!

LAC Taut Gold Standard Collagen Facial Masks LUXE Giveaway and Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I love to discover new skin care secrets.  I really try to take the best care of my skin I can. It can get somewhat expensive though and I feel guilty sometimes. Everyone knows you need to buy and use quality products to really see a difference.  There are some areas that I just won't budge. Beauty care is one of them. I am always looking for new solutions that work within a reasonable beauty budget but give me the results I deserve.  I recently found a new option that is definitely worth sharing with friends.

I recently discovered a wonderful, totally luxe at home facial mask from LAC that is truly amazing.  Luxury salon quality beauty care that you can use at home.  This is the kind of beauty treatments that celebrities use before events. You know how amazing those stars always look before those red carpet events? Stars know all the beauty secrets. I was in heaven when I saw how this mask renewed and totally transformed my facial skin at home before a wedding recently.  You can do it too....with LAC’s luxurious Taut Gold Standard Collagen mask in your own home. This is a salon-quality mask too...super rich with nano-sized collagen molecules that deliver instant skin rejuvenation and celebrity style skin radiance.  You know what I mean too!  I looked so unbelievable when I went to this wedding even the bride commented. Now she looked fantastic herself....but for her to notice....this mask worked wonders. The professional quality collagen mask from LAC is specifically formulated to target your major issues: sagging, dehydrated and dull-looking skin. LAC uses a proprietary blend of hydrolyzed collagen, botanical squalene, hyaluronic acid and anti-oxidants to penetrate deeply into the skin.  This mask is very effective and provides hydration, tones, and brightens in just 15 minutes.

This mask is so easy and relaxing to use too.  I tried it right before my friend's wedding this past weekend and I just looked fresh and youthful all night long.  The comments were non-stop on how beautiful I looked. You can imagine how beautiful I felt! All you need to do is open up one of the five packages that come in the box, un-fold the cloth mask and gently place it on your face.  You leave it on for about 10-15 minutes, then gently take it off and rub in the remainder of the product into your skin.  It looks a little weird while the mask is on but get over that because you will love the results.  It feels good on and just think about the results that you will see.

When you place the Taut Gold Collagen Mask onto your face it feels very soft and cool.  You will feel really relaxed so take the 15 minutes to close your eyes (like I did!) and rest on the couch or read a book.  I actually left it on about 20 minutes since it felt so good.  I finally took off the mask, rubbed it in the excess and my skin was glowing and looked super hydrated.  Now I know why celebrities flock to those luxe LA salons before the awards ceremonies for masks like these.  Like I said, I am definitely adding my LAC Taut Gold Collagen Mask onto my to-do list before every event and even sometimes just because I deserve it on a relaxing weekend so I can look great. I would absolutely use this for all kinds  of special occasions and I already told my sisters and my mom about it.  They saw the pictures from the wedding and they were pretty impressed. I know they are going to love it too.


You can purchase a box of 5 masks, and the complete collagen system, at Fred Segal and on the TautCollagen website for $55.  That is an excellent value considering how much you would pay for one treatment at a salon.  Let me know how the mask works for you when you try it for yourself. LAC was kind enough to let me host my own giveaway for Glamamama's readers. One of you is going to get lucky so enter the Rafflecopter giveaway below for your own chance to win 2 masks. Good luck!a Rafflecopter giveaway

CLICK Espresso Protein Drink® Giveaway and Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial. Always check with your physician before starting any supplement product and specifically CLICK protein supplements. These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Consult your healthcare professional prior to use if you are pregnant, nursing, taking any medication or have a medical condition.  Keep out of reach of children.



 

You know me by now. I am one healthy girl. I work hard and work out hard. I really try to eat a clean diet. It gets challenging sometimes when I am on the go though. Geez, that is practically all the time. I keep a few healthy snacks in my purse and in the car but when I heard about the opportunity to review a new protein drink called CLICK I was super excited. This seemed like a perfect solution for my busy mornings and afternoons.  Sometimes I just have to get to appointments so early all I have time for is coffee with skim milk. It just is not enough. CLICK would be the perfect antidote to this problem. The reason is that CLICK Espresso Protein Drink®, known as the coffee lover’s protein drink™, is a frappe-licious, nutritious, all-in-one, coffee protein drink mix that boosts your energy, burns fat and curbs your appetite so you can keep CLICK’n throughout your day! That works for my busy days.


My canister of Mocha Click, a branded shaker and several sample packs of Vanilla Latte arrived this week and the timing was right. Another craaaazzzy week at work…gee what a surprise. The other morning all I had time for was that coffee and skim milk. Well, you know what, I added in a scoop of my CLICK and ran out the door. I was really happy because I knew I was doing my body some good to get that healthy protein packed in. Protein helps keep you feeling full longer.  A nice fresh cup of coffee full of caffeine plus CLICK protein kept me going all morning long. I am pleased with my new option that works great even when I am super busy.


I tried CLICK another day when I had a few more minutes and blended it with ice, a frozen banana and a spoonful of peanut butter powder. Think back to those yummy chocolate covered frozen bananas of your childhood. This was super delicious and I made a mental note to try this combo again. 

Nutritionally CLICK is an excellent option.  It tastes great, is low in fat and calories but high in protein. It even has vitamins and minerals too.  Each serving of CLICK is totally packed with nutrition. Each serving contains 15 g. of protein, double-shot gourmet espresso coffee and 23 vitamins/minerals and has a decadent taste that is a taste contender with those big coffee house drinks.


CLICK is great as an all-in-one breakfast meal replacement, mid-day, appetite curbing, pick-me-up snack. You can blend it with water, water and ice or add it to coffee or another beverage.  Consider CLICK’s unique coffee protein combination as your pre or post workout support drink.  They even have CLICK decaf for those who are sensitive to caffeine or want to enjoy CLICK as an after dinner, protein-packed dessert drink.  CLICK protein drinks are so versatile, you can drink it hot as well as cold or blended.  CLICK comes in a 14-serving canister and is available in 3 coffee-house delcious, coffee-house flavors; mocha, vanilla latte and our new caramel!  
CLICK has generously offered a CLICK Starter Pack to one of you lucky ducks. Enter below on my easy Rafflecopter giveaway and good luck to all.a Rafflecopter giveaway
