Smarty Rents Review and Giveaway!!

Smarty Rents!!

What a wonderful website to rent educational games for your little one! I know buying games for you child can be expensive. Then once you buy the game your little one doesn't care for it anymore. All that money wasted. With Smarty Rents you don't have to spend a lot of money to find fun games your child will love! It's always smart to try it before you buy it. What I love about this website is that it has every game imaginable, even discontinued ones. When you shop at Blockbuster or Best Buy they only have a few games for kids 9 months to 10 years old. Most stores carry Playstation, Xbox or the Wii which cater to teens. It can be frustrating.

If you use Nexflix then SmartyRents runs the same way. You choose the package you want, keep the game as long as you want, then return it to get another game in it's place. Packages start at $9.99. Not bad! All with FREE shipping.

To become a member, go to My Account or choose the START NOW button located on any page.  Choose a membership package and enter the necessary information on there secure server to begin your child's educational adventure today.

The best part I'm offering a SmartyRents promo code worth 1 FREE month of the 1 Game at a Time package or $9.99 towards the package of their choice!! How awesome is that??  

Promo Code: d1cbdd
Expires: 8/31/10

Kidco PeaPod Travel Bed-Review

My husband and I travel a lot. My family lives in Michigan and some of my husbands family lives in Texas. Now that we have a 13 month old trying to find a good bed for him to sleep in can be a challenge. We use to just place him in his playpen but the floor was just too hard. We tried using blanket to help but he still work up in the middle of the night crying. Most hotels don’t have a portable crib and when he needs to take naps I need a nice dark place for him to sleep. I knew there had to be something online that would be perfect. I found the product by Kidco. It’s a portable travel bed that’s like a personal tent. Perfect for outdoor and indoor use. Has an easy carrying case and small enough to store in my closet or suitcase. Perfect!! When my Kidco Peapod arrived I had to test it out. I opened the tent and blew up the mattress. Easy to assemble. My son wasn’t sure what to make of it till I put him in it. He LOVED it. He climbed in and out. Was large enough for him to play in and put a few stuffed animal in with him. The real test…Houston, Texas. Next week we are traveling and this is when I will truly test out this bed. So far it seems to be a great buy and it’s perfect for him when he grows up to age 6.

COMPLETE PORTABLE TRAVEL BED SYSTEM

• PROTECTS BABY FROM COLD, HARD FLOORS
• PROVIDES A COMFORTABLE PLACE TO SLEEP
• UV PROTECTION AND WINDSCREENS FOR OUTDOOR USE
• INFLATABLE MATTRESS WITH PUMP

New England Coffee Review

I contacted New England Coffee company and asked to review there wonderful coffee. How can I pass up a new coffee I've never tasted before? I'm a coffee nut. Love it and I'm always looking for new flavors. To my surprise I was sent several different flavors! Blueberry Cobbler, French Roast, Breakfast Blend (which I'm sipping now as I type) Breakfast Decaf and Vanilla Decaf. WOW!

So far I have tried the French Roast and Breakfast Blend. Excellent coffee's with a smooth rich flavor. I'm excited to try the Blueberry Cobbler and create an iced coffee treat for me this summer. I also brought a bag with me to work so I can brew my own coffee. Yum! Saves me time and money.

On the New England Coffee website they have a page with great coffee recipes. They offer coupons, coffee news, testimonials, tea, novelty items and a wonderful history about New England Coffee.

I've posted below the Iced Blueberry coffee recipe

Skin Care Review and $30.00 Gift Card Giveaway!!

CONTEST HAS ENDED-I had the pleasure in reviewing some products from SkinFree.net and BlueRidgeGypsy.com I was very impressed with what I received in my care package. The Green Clay Mask for Blemish Prone Skin is my favorite so far. I enjoy the feel of the clay mask every night on my skin. The scent is light and refreshing. My skin feels soft and smooth after every use. I’m 34 and I know that wrinkles are not far away. I also have an oily face that is very prone to blemishes and the occasional zit. (I thought they went away after high school?)

I like this product because it has natural oils, doesn’t over dry my face, washes away clean, easy to apply paste and has a light scent. Most overnight creams or lotions are messy, don’t rinse away and can be expensive. This is a great product for a spa like facial at home.
 

I also tried the Brand New Baby Gift set. Included in my gift set were Extra Moisturizing Liquid Soap, After Shower Moisture Spritz, and a Niaouli Butter Stik. Since being a new mom my skin has taken a beating. My feet are dry can cracked and my chest, legs and arms or in need of help. The Niaouli Butter stik is great for dry cracked elbows and feet. I used this product on my cracked heals and felt a HUGE difference in less then 2 minutes. The stick is easy to apply and not messy. Just rub into dry cracked skin and massage. The moistening liquid soap I used in my soap pump for daily use. This is great for keeping your hands clean and dry. This is a great gift pack for baby or mom!

At Blue Ride Gypsy Products I also received there Reed Diffuser - 6 oz in Truest Rose scent. Blue Ridge Gypsy is an affiliate company. They work together to provide you great products for a spa like atmosphere in your home. The scent of the diffuser is like being in a rose garden. It’s easy to renew the scent by flipping the diffuser sticks over. It lasts 3 to 4 months, much longer then any plug-in. You must come and visit these two websites and see for yourself!!

Now for the awesome part! You can get a $30.00 gift certificate to try one of these great products I mentioned at SkinFree.Net or BlueRidgeGypsy.com

The giveaway starts today, July 17, 2010 and ends on Saturday, July 31, 2010 at 5:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. You can have your name entered multiple times depending on how many different places you promote the giveaway or our website.

We are Remodling Our Dining Room and Giving YOU Gift Card Giveaway!!

CONTEST HAS ENDED
This week my husban and I are tackling our dining room. Right now it's in shambles. We are currently removing the popcorn ceiling and painting it flat white. I don't know why older homes have this type of ceiling but it's not popular and a real mess to take down. 

One thing I have come across when decorting any room, (my favorite part of remolding) is picking out unique and pretty paint, curtians and lighting fixtures.  Recently in my search for lighting fixtures I came across some beautiful wall sconces.  When I found these fixtures it didn't even occur to me to put them in the dining room. I was looking for chandlers.  This is a really creative way to decorate your room and another way to light the room creating a romantic feel.  These are some of my favorite wall sconces. Now I just need to decide which one??

Of course with any newly remodeled dining room we need little nick nacks, rugs and other accesoriess to complete the room. You don't have to spend a lot to make your room look like a million bucks. Shopping online is a great way to save time and money. I found these great dining room chair slip covers. Perfect if you can't afford new chairs or a dining room set.

 

Now for the really good part. We're having a giveaway for a $30 gift certificate that can be used at any CSN store. You can find a list of stores at www.csnstores.com/ourstores.asp. So if you want to use your gift certificate to buy something for your home you can, or you can use it on yourself! It's your choice.

The giveaway starts today, June 23, 2010 and ends on Friday, July 16, 2010 at 5:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. You can have your name entered multiple times depending on how many different places you promote the giveaway or our website.
