THE PEE POCKET Review + GiVeAwAy #thepeepocket

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

If you have ever been to a concert or festival indoors or outdoors you are reading this and saying, "Oh, yeah I wish I had that when I was at _____________."   I know you are. Trust me. We were at Jazz Fest last year in New Orleans and I wished that I had the Pee Pocket. So did my kid. Those porta potties were beyond yucky. Hold your breath and close your eyes yucky. Need I say more?  The Pee Pocket is an ingeniously simple idea that lets women stand when they pee so they can avoid so much of the yuckiness that comes with thouse dubious porta potties and even some bathrooms. A team of doctors with kids developed the Pee Pocket to be a simple solution for any woman on the go who has to go.

The Pee Pocket is a female urinary device that is perfect for athletes, travelers, the elderly, disabled, pregnancy, parents of young girls, post-surgery patients...any woman who might have to go while on the go.  This is a perfect option for active women who enjoy the outdoors, sports, music festivals, camping, hiking, biking, traveling.  I am bringing my Pee Pocket with me when we go hiking in a few weeks up in the Adirondacks.  They fold up to almost nothing so you can stash the Pee Pocket right in a purse or backpack too.
      

I know you want to know how it works. So the Pee Pocket is a single use, waterproof disposable funnel that allows women to pee while standing. It’s convenient tri-fold design easily fits in purse or pocket and it even includes a hygienic tissue wipe and disposable bag. You can use it without getting your hands or any other body parts wet.

This smart little device comes in single pockets for $1.75 or three packs for $4.95.  I know you want to know more about this so for more information, please visit their website The Pee Pocket to learn more.

Litter Genie Review #LitterGeniuses #MyLitterGenie @crowdtap

Disclaimer: I received the Litter Genie as part of a Crowdtap Sampling Program.  My opinions are my own based on my personal experience with the product.  I was not financially compensated for this post.

I remember being so excited when I had a baby a few years back (okay so it is a few more than a few years back but who is counting?) because there was something new out there to contain the stinky diapers called a Diaper Genie. It really worked.  We used that up a storm until the mouse was out of diapers then off it went. Meanwhile, back at the ranch here I recently heard about something called a Litter Genie through my membership with Crowdtap. What is a Litter Genie? It is a litter disposal system. Similar idea to the Diaper Genie. It comes pretty much all set up you just have to put the baggies in there and go to town. You tie a knot in the baggie and you just keep putting the dirty litter in there up to 14 days. No smell. Everything is contained in the Litter Genie. It even comes with a convenient scoop and scoop holder on the side.  It looks very modern and sleek and I must say, it really works!

You do need to buy the scoopable litter but it just makes it easier and more convenient. It is a much better way to contain the odor too. It takes up almost no space right next to the litter box too.  This is something everybody that has a cat should own. I have a few friends that have more than one cat. They need one of these too! The Litter Genie is a bargain too....it sells for about $15.00 or less at most major stores.  You can pick up refills for the bags for about the same price. Very reasonable considering it resolves a very stinky problem for cat owners. Honestly, I can't even put a price on fresh air but since it is so low it is not an issue.

The Litter Genie was a breeze to set up. The instructions had good pictures and instructions on how to set it up and refill it.  I really like the built in scoop and a scoop holder too.  My hubby and I set it up together for Miss Charlotte. He even thought it was a excellent idea. All you have to do is scoop the poop, lift the lid and drop the clumps in the Litter Genie. Then you close the lid and pull on the handle. Done. Seriously, you just open the Litter Genie right in the middle, use the built in cutter to cut the bag off and tie it, then you pull down the plastic to the bottom, tie another knot and close it back up. The icky clumps are now sealed in your Litter Genie for up to 14 days.  It is almost as simple to empty the bag as well. Give yourself a few minutes to practice this part especially using the built in bag cutter. It is a little learning curve I think to get this part but after a few times it was super easy. You have to make sure you are giving yourself enough film to tie it off when you are pulling it down.  Just like anything it takes a few times to get comfortable with it and then it is a breeze.

Let me know if you have a Litter Genie and how it is working for you and your cats.

Vow VoxBox Review #VowVoxBox @InfluensterVox

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

Wow, it is always exciting to get in on a Vox Box. It has been a while so I was thrilled to hear I was getting a #VowVoxBox.  This is a perfect box for brides, bridesmaids, mothers-of-the-bride, wedding guests and wedding crashers of the Influenster Nation. I fall into the last category but I did get married a few years back and I have a friend's wedding coming up next month so I guess I fit into two categories! Lots of goodies to share here.

I have been a long time Olay user for years.  The Regenerist line just keeps expanding and for good reason. The product work and the price is right. You don't need to go to Nordstrom and pay a bundle for good skin care. March yourself right on down to Rite Aid or CVS or even Walgreens and pick this one up. Fade those dark spots in 8 weeks with Luminous Tone Perfecting Cream. This one goes 10 layers deep into your skin. Don't forget to pair it with a good facial sunscreen every single day. @OlayUS #BestBeautiful

We all need smooth legs that is a fact. If you don't need smooth legs, well, I guess just skip over this one. I don't know what to say. Pure Silk Moisturizing Shave Cream is packed with aloe and extra moisturizers to keep your legs soft and silky. 7 varieties ensure that you will find one with a scent and a formula just perfect for you. #PureSilk @PureSilkShave

 I have used this for a bunch of years now. There is ALWAYS one stashed in my car. I pack one in my suitcase for biz trips too. I didn't know that Tide to Go is the #1 instant stain remover though. Why not....it really works. I just didn't realize that so many peeps knew about my little tidy secret. @Tide #TideToGo

Sally Hansen is my go-to for nail polish. I love to do my own manis and pedis because the fact is, I usually do a better job than the ladies in the salons. I am THAT GOOD. I have been doing my own nails since I was a teenager. Skip the salon and save some moulah. Go buy yourself a fancy cocktail instead. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure is going to make your nails look amazing and I must say this Barracuda looks so pretty for the summer. It is a light blue-grey color. Goes on super smooth and lasts up to 10 days. Remember the base and top coats too. @CSMHaveItAll @SallyHansen

Ice Ball Mold Perfect for Summer Cocktails and Beverages #sphereicemold

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

I was excited about using these StyloPhora ice balls for an upcoming party but I had to try them out right away. The product is designed for making large perfectly round ice balls to make great looking drinks for parties and also is great for whiskey drinkers.  I remember our big dog used to love playing with ice so StyloPhora suggested you could make these to put in your dog's bowl too...excellent to keep your pooch cool in the summer heat too. I don't have a dog but I do have parties and I entertain a lot so these are super for me.

The round silicone molds come in a pack of 3 and include a silicone funnel in the pack. StyloPhora packs these ice ball molds in a great clear tube packaging and they have easy to follow instructions. The funnel can be used to fill the molds without mess or spilling your choice of liquid, it is also very useful for other applications in the kitchen.  I found it easy to fill even without the funnel but if you are filling the molds with expensive whiskey I can see how the funnel would be a definite benefit.

The molds also have fill lines printed on them so that they can be easily filled with the correct amount of liquid.  As I said, the molds come in a big tube which is also great for storage when you are not using them. First of all you must wash them first with soap and water and the instructions suggest that as well. Fit the top onto the bottom (it is very easy) Fill them up with water directly from the faucet or you can use the enclosed funnel to fill them with a beverage of your choice. There is even a fill line where you can tell you need to stop. They freeze up super fast in a few hours and you just pop out these huge bigger than a golf ball ice balls. Perfect for a punch bowl or drink dispenser or even for whiskey or other cocktails. They are so huge they take a LONG time to melt. Very cool invention.
