You'll find elegant chrome accents, sharp high-gloss or leather-like embossed finishes and beautiful designs and colors so attractive you'll want to display them as decorative accents right where they're used. Snap-N-Store® products are unique because they assemble quickly with a "snap" and fold down easy for transportation or storage when not in use.

Magazine File, Scroll

Magazine File, Scroll - Scroll Pattern - Snap-N-Store - SNS01837

Shelf, desk, or counter-top storage for brochures, manuals, or magazines.

  • Metal label holder makes locating contents easy
  • Grommet in spine simplifies removal from shelves
  • Constructed of heavy-duty fiberboard
  • Attractive, leather-like PVC laminate
  • Stores flat and snaps together when you need them
  • Scroll Pattern

I am loving this. It is VERY sturdy. I TRY not to cram folders full, but when they are holding business files and craft tutorials, sometimes it just can’t be helped. I LOVED these. They are SO dependable, never ONCE giving in and collapsing, swaying, or threatening to break under the pressure!

I love that this can just slide right on my desk so that I can have it right at my fingertips when needed. Everything is just so easy to find and keep up with and when you’re working from home organization is absolutely essential.

In this- I store a reusable folder that has all the press releases from companies, 6 different 1 subject notebooks labeled with; Kids, Beauty/Fashion, Electronic/Gadgets, Home/Office, and Contacts. I leave the extra one for writing down when something is supposed to be coming in the mail.

I LOVE being organized. It has helped me stay on track with getting work done. I spend more time ACTUALLY working then I do looking for something and then losing hope because I’ve got so many papers piled on top of each other.

The more organized I stay, the more productive my work flow is. I have noticed that SnapNStore is ABSOLUTLEY the reason for this. If you work at home, have kids who are in school or college, or maybe YOU have went back- these items are MUST HAVE’s.

BUY IT: The magazine holders are only $5.99 on the website.

Letter-Size File Box, Scroll

Letter-Size File Box, Scroll - Scroll Pattern - Snap-N-Store - SNS01836

  • Perfect for desktop, countertop, or for longer term storage
  • Leather-like PVC laminate
  • Chrome accents
  • Steel reinforced top edges are sized to accommodate letter-size hanging file folders
  • Heavy-duty fiberboard walls are durable and sturdy
  • Ships and stores flat, but snaps together in seconds for use
  • Chrome-steel handles for easy carrying, and chrome card holder for labeling
  • Scroll

When you’re digging and digging looking for a paper you need, something MUST be done. I have tried and tried forever to store all my business and craft info in binders- but there were so many different binders, that it was just the same thing. Searching and searching.

Maybe it wouldn’t be such a problem if I had the space to visibly line every binder and book up by sections. It would certainly make it easier on me. But this is real life and I don’t have a library located in my house, I would certainly need one. =D

Not only do these make my office space absolutely beautiful because of the stunning designs on these boxes, but it actually looks like an office instead of a hoarder hole with paper everywhere.

Now that I have all my files in one spot, I can easily find ANYTHING I need. I used this one for my review items. I have labeled hanging file folders that I bought at a yardsale and kept everything neat and tidy. Now when I get done with a review, I just locate where the paper needs to be and store it. Simple as that.

I am loving that these have metal handles on the side, so if I need to bring them closer to me, I can just grab the handles and do it. I don’t have to worry about packing it like a box and it accidentally slipping out of my hands and spewing files and folders everywhere. Gosh! what a mess that would be.

These are very roomy and I stack the smaller letter file holder on top of the Legal Letter Holder. They can slide right under my desk or be stacked on top of my shelf for easy as pie access.

I have already had tons of friends ask me where I got these. These would be absolutely PERFECT gifts for the business mogul in your life, at home entrepreneur, college student.. or even someone looking to store recipes or magazine clippings. You CANNOT beat the quality for the price here.

Nothing on the website is over $20, most even under $12. They have plain colors- so this is EVEN for the MEN in your life, As a Book Lover, Writer, Crafter, and Work at home Mom- these products have saved me in more ways than I can explain. I actually got excited when these arrived in the mail.

BUY IT: This is only $9.99 on the website

Letter / Legal File Box, Scroll 

Letter / Legal File Box, Scroll - Scroll Pattern - Snap-N-Store - SNS01835

Keep your important files close at hand.

  • Accommodates letter or legal-size hanging file folders
  • Desktop, countertop or archival filing
  • Leather-like PVC laminate
  • Chrome accents
  • Heavy-duty fiberboard walls are durable and sturdy
  • Ships and stores flat, but snaps together in seconds for use
  • Chrome-steel handles for easy carrying
  • Chrome card holder for labeling
  • Scroll Pattern

These arrive flat, and they didn’t even take a full minute to get all 3 up and looking absolutely divine. The inside of these are extremely durable. There is absolutely no way that these are going to bust or break due to thin inexpensive material. These are top notch items all for very VERY cheap.

I had been looking for something like these forever, but nothing was within reason. They all looked very low quality yet were expensive in comparison to these. I am definitely going to be adding more of these to my collection. I love how they can stack up without the worry of bending the tops in and ruining all of my work.

I was surprised at how fast these arrived. They were SUPER quick at getting to my house. That made it even better. I was daydreaming about these and how awesome they would look.! The snaps make them so easy to fold flat and store if you happen to move or something.

Everything about these products are so innovative and designed so elegant. I love that they didn’t just offer black and white. These look beautiful in my office and I just love walking in there now and knowing that my files aren’t only protected but  sitting in something beautiful.

BUY IT: This is only $10.99 on the website.

Review: Wexy Lunch & Munch Bags

Biodegradable and BPA Free

Four Funky Monsters to excite your kids, Opaque bag with Bright Fun Monsters On the Front

Disposable or Reusable

Made in USA

FUN SNACK BAGS FOR KIDS!!! Meet WEXY'S Funky monsters.. SAMMY, BAILEY, SCOUT AND DUSTY...Inspired by kids and created by moms, made in the USA, WEXY bags fits into kids lunch boxes and is the perfect way to get your kids to eat healthy snacks such as raw food, organic snacks, gluten free or any other healthy snack recipe.

Aidan started Kindergarten this year, and he gets to have snack at about 1 o’clock. I was sending Tupperware  and fabric snack bags with him until they stopped coming home with him. I went to the school to try and pick them up. I thought that he had left them in his cubby or something. NOPE I’m pretty sure some other family is now enjoying Aidan’s snack packs at home.

image

So- when I got a chance to check out Wexy Lunch & Munch Bags, I was excited. The box of Wexy boxes come with 4 different monsters printed on a total of 28 bags. So 7 bags with each monster on it.

As a mom I couldn’t resist that it is BPA free, biodegradable OR reusable. If you want to reuse them- just rinse them out, set them upside down in the drain rack. If you want to pitch them, go ahead- they will decompose unlike other plastic bags.

The bags are big enough to put SO many different types of foods inside. Raw carrots and a ranch cup, cookies, grapes, chips.. there are unlimited number of snacks! They are the perfect size for a snack portion and easy to open for small fingers (unlike sealed plastic bags).

Even though Aidan is the only one in school this year, Adisyn wants a packed snack as well. We even bought her a backpack so that when Aidan is taken to school, she can ride with her backpack and packed snack and feel like a big girl as well.

Both the kids LOVE them and of course, Adisyn wanted all the pink monsters “It my favorite color mommy” she said. Aidan liked that he didn’t have to worry about toting the snack packs back home with him in the afternoon, and I was glad that I didn’t have to send tupperware to school for it to never be returned.

Meet the Monsters:

Sammy the Surfer eats foods that are gluten and dairy free!

Scout the Soccer Player loves making healthy snacks!

Bailey the Bubble Maker loves to eat organic foods!’

Dusty the Diver loves to eat raw foods!

How Wexy Bags were born:

Inspired by kids and created by moms, WEXY snack bags are the perfect way to change the very image of “healthy” food for your kids. Motivated by their desire to restore natural childhood fun to snack time, Carie and Tracey created WEXY monsters with their own children driving their vision. They want to help our earth, too. That’s why WEXY snack bags are as good to the globe (eco-friendly) as they are to your child’s body. With their commitment to organic foods and practices, Tracey and Carie believe that sustaining our health means sustaining the earth as well. WEXY bags are biodegradable, BPA Free, disposable, recyclable, and reusable.

Review: Toe Juice

Just because fall is here- doesn’t mean you still won’t see me sporting flip flops and cute sandals. I am always fighting dry skin on my feet though. I have been using foot soaks, scrubs, and files to banish the dry skin. Who wants to have dry, rough feet? NOT me!

clip_image001

I was recently introduced to Toe Juice, which helps take care of all that dry skin! It is a fast drying liquid that you squirt on your feet and rub in. After using it, it makes your feet OH so soft and lovable!

Created by a high school chemistry teacher in the 70′s, Toe Juice also stops itching, burning, and irritation from such ailments as Athletes Foot, psoriasis, ringworm, foot fungus and eczema.

Don’t let the name fool you though, it isn’t just FOR your feet. You can use this virtually anywhere; hands, underarms, arms, and legs as well. You have the choice of applying by hand, or by a cotton swab. I just put it on with my hands, it’s totally safe.. and you can just wash your hands (after touching your feet) and reapply it to your hands!

When I first seen the bottle of Toe Juice I instantly thought it looked more like a hand sanitizer, but it isn’t. It doesn’t have the alcohol feel of a hand sanitizer (and alcohol can be drying to the skin).

I am VERY pleased to say that Toe Juice has absolutely revitalized my dry and almost cracked feet. They were so dry that I would get shivers if they touched the covers. I would be putting lotion on them ALL the time. I can’t stand dry skin!

I constantly wear socks if I’m not wearing flip flops or sandals. I can’t stand to walk around barefoot. <UGH, MORE dry skin>. When I applied the toe juice- it did seem as if they were drier at first, but it also kicked the itching sensation. After the first use though- it DOES soften and rejuvenate feet and toes! WOO HOO

What is Toe Juice?

Toe Juice with DermaVine is a natural, plant based product that was designed to relieve dry, cracked feet in Royce, the inventor’s infant son. However, Royce quickly found that it was actually beneficial for many other skin conditions, and its popularity took off from there. The proprietary DermaVine part of Toe Juice consists of willow bark, lemon peel, and Cinnamonum extract; all of which are pretty well known for their anti-inflammatory skin benefits.  It does contain alcohol, but only as a medium to hold the all-natural ingredients. Once you apply it to your skin, the alcohol evaporates and all the good stuff is left behind.

The most common categories Toe Juice is used for:

  • Acne
  • Athletes foot
  • Cold Sores
  • Diabetic
  • Eczema
  • Foot Problems
  • Ichthyosis Psoriasis
  • Insect Bites
  • Jock Itch
  • Jungle Rot
  • Misc. Skin Irritation
  • Rashes
  • Ringworm
  • Warts

From the makers of Toe Juice

Hog Wash hand sanitizer - 8 fl. oz. Bottle

comes comes Hog Wash. Hog wash IS a hand sanitizer but it isn’t drying like other sanitizers. Hog wash was created by nurses who had been using Toe Juice and found that washing and sanitizing their hands so much during a long day at the hospital would often leave them red, cracked, and almost bleeding.  AND hog wash was born!

Hog Wash infused with DermaVine is a specially formulated hand sanitizer designed to naturally promote new skin growth, leaving hands clean, soft and hydrated. I have been keeping this inside my purse to put on the kids after we get done at the park before we can get home and wash hands.

This product is natural and doesn’t burn my kids hands like alcohol infused sanitizer. The bottle looks cool and has a pig featured on the front. The name is unique and really does work!

About Toe Juice:

In 1970, Royce Garner, a high school science teacher in Boise, Idaho, produced his first batch of Toe Juice®. His endeavor began when his infant son had flaking, dry, cracked feet. The many lotions and creams were ineffective and messy. So Royce did some research, went to his lab, and came out with a revolutionary new product. Not only did it fix and prevent further complications with his son's feet, but over the years many friends, family, and acquaintances have benefited from the strength of Royce's Toe Juice®. Those who benefited from the fast drying liquid, often encouraged Royce to take it public." ~ToeJuice.com

Review: Packaways

clip_image001

I have to admit that I am quite the hoarder. I have tons and tons of clothes, shoes, makeup, skincare, books, and binders. As we are living in a smaller home right now, I have to pack some of up until we move back into a larger home.

When we moved I used cardboard boxes to store our stuff in. I absolutely despised it. They are hard to carry because it’s hard to bust through the push in handles. The bottoms busted out of them EXTREMELY easy. I went to the storage shed to move some stuff around so I could bring out the winter clothes and put up the summer.. and when I picked up a box of books, they went EVERYWHERE.

I am a book NERD and I simply do NOT want my books to smell like they are old, get wet and mildew, or be eaten by mice. Have you noticed that mice can just either find their way into a small hole in the box (either at the top or the handles) or chew right through cardboard?

I did. My Christmas ornaments were chewed all to pieces about 5 years ago when we moved. I stored all my stuff at my grandmas in the shed, and when I went to pick it all up- there were mice bite marks EVERYWHERE, and everything was chewed to pieces.

That’s what I really like about Packaways. They are a brand new storage tote made from durable corrugated plastic that simply fold away when not in use. I am certain that mice can’t chew through them and they protect my stuff. I know that my books are safe in these storage totes because they don’t cave in like boxes.

Instead of having to stack totes inside totes when they aren’t in use- these fold flat and slid against a wall in a closet. I love that they not only save space when they are in use, but they also save space when NOT in use.

I LOVE the colors. I looked everywhere for colored totes before, and didn’t see any that weren’t so tiny that I couldn’t fit even 2 pair of shoes inside. These are large enough to accommodate my summer clothes and the kids.

2012-06-08 18.36.492012-06-08 18.36.572012-06-08 18.36.212012-06-08 18.36.28

I ended up receiving 2 boxes. A lime green one (SQUEAL) and a blue one. I LOVED that they had green. Green is my favorite!! ♥

When you get them they are completely flat. So to open them up to look like the above pictures- you just press the bottom sides down and in to each other and they buckle in to place. Very VERY simple to do.

clip_image001[6]

They have the easy push in handles on the side- so that they are very easy and conveniently moved when they need arises. They aren’t 100% waterproof, because water COULD leak in the handles and through the opening in the top. BUT if you are using a storage shed, storage bin, or your garage- water isn’t going to be getting in or on them anyway.

These can be used and reused time and time again because of how sturdy they are when they are broken down. I LOVE these bins, I really do. I am definitely going to have to get some to put my fabric and yarn in..

They have wipe off panels on the front so that you can use a dry-erase marker to write what’s in them, wipe it off, reuse it for something else, and re-label. How cool is that! They are easy to use, and then easy to re-collapse and store.

The bins also come in Pink and White- so a total of 4 different colors!

Packaways are made here in the USA! Two thumbs up from me for that! Prices for the Packaways start at $8.75 each, and have free shipping on orders over $49.

Great Fall Projects for Toddlers



Fall is the time of year when people begin thinking about cooler weather and the changes taking place outdoors. This is a great time to bond with one’s toddler-age children as older children are returning to school and the house is emptier. Toddlers love activities that are colorful and require the use of their hands and their imaginations. No matter what interests a child may have, one of these great fall projects is sure to stimulate them and create a day to remember.

Art Projects

§ Finger painting is a great activity in the fall since it can be done indoors on cold or wet days. The colors of the autumn can be great inspiration here as children mimic the bright colors of leaves. To make an individualized tree for finger painting, the child can dip his hand into brown paint and create a great tree with five finger branches.
§ Crafts with real leaves, pinecones, acorns and more are a perfect way to celebrate the fall. Create a wreath made of pinecones glued to a Styrofoam circular wreath form. Glue leaves onto construction paper or poster board, then laminate both sides for unique autumn placemats.
§ After choosing a pumpkin at a local pumpkin patch, the toddler can use finger paints or large foam paint brushes with washable paint to decorate the pumpkin safely. Finish the pumpkin by gluing on craft eyes and a felt mouth.

Outdoor Projects

§ Picking apples at an orchard is a great way to get into the crisp outdoor air while teaching the child about how apples grow. The apples can be eaten with peanut butter for a snack or can be made into applesauce.
§ Raking leaves is a fun and necessary fall project. Even a toddler can help with a child-sized rake. Make it a vigorous activity by jumping into the pile afterwards, or create a game by hiding a toy or sucker in the pile of leaves and searching for it.
§ Nature walks are easy to do at multiple state parks, in city parks or around the yard. The child can use simple white printer paper and colorful crayons to make leaf and bark rubbings.

Cooking Projects

§ Baking cookies is a fun way for a child to get involved in the kitchen with mom. The child can mix dry ingredients together, help mom use a measuring cup and shape cookies into balls.
§ Rice crispy treats are fun for a child to shape into fall objects like acorns, pumpkins and turkeys. The treats can then be decorated with sprinkles, frosting or other goodies to make personalized designs.
§ Caramel apples can be made with apples picked at a local orchard. Although children should not be allowed to heat up the caramels, they can help put a stick in each apple, dip the apple and decorate it with sprinkles and other fun baking accessories.

Holiday Projects

§ Helping create Halloween costumes is a great way for a child to become involved with something created just for him. Creative costumes can be easy and homemade by using leftover material, duct tape, string, fabric paints and other household staples.
§ For Thanksgiving, toddlers can help to make table decorations. Making a tracing of their hands on construction paper and cutting them out can create the feathers of a turkey. Other projects include construction paper pumpkins and paper cornucopias filled with candy pumpkins. Letting the child become involved in each place setting will give him the feeling of involvement and importance.
§ Stuff a scarecrow for the yard with old work clothes, a straw hat, some burlap and hay from a local farm. Toddlers will love to create a decoration for the yard and will enjoy personalizing the scarecrow’s face.

These are just a sampling of some of the fun projects that toddlers will especially enjoy in the fall. Family living websites have other specific arts and crafts projects specifically designed for toddler-age children. One example with numerous ideas is http://www.busybeekidscrafts.com/Fall-Crafts.html. To find apple orchards, check out http://www.orangepippin.com/orchards. To find pumpkin patches, hayrides and other fun outdoor activities, go to http://www.pumpkinpatchesandmore.org/ and click on the specific state. Toddlers love having their imaginations sparked, and any of these fall projects will do just that.

Review: Earthlust Stainless Steel Water Bottle

clip_image001

This bottle is absolutely AMAZING. It is so beautiful compared to just a regular stainless steel water bottle. This is perfect for those ladies in your life (or maybe even yourself) =D

Whether you hike, job, bike, or just need something to keep you hydrated at work- this will definitely do the trick all while looking stunning! I wanted a simple solution that wouldn’t leave me feeling bad at the end of the day for using so many plastic water bottles.

I have said this before “I HATE the taste of tap water”. I don’t know if it’s just the town I live in or if it is everywhere but I can taste the chlorine or the chemicals in the water.

So now instead of buying spring water in non-reusable plastic bottles, I use my Mavea Water Filter Pitcher and pour the water in this 20 oz. Poppy Bottle. I can take it wherever I need to go. It fits inside the cup holder in my car. (Which is a huge plus for me) Most reusable water bottles are either too big or are shaped weirdly and don’t fit.

There is no enamel, BPA, or parabens inside or outside of the container, so you can drink your water without thinking you could possibly die in 10 years from chemicals inside.. =D I am loving that it is so beautifully designed.. I am loving the poppies!

These aren’t supposed to be washed in the dishwasher, but how hard is it to clean out a water bottle? It’s not like there was something with sugar inside—So I just dip it in the hot soapy water for a few seconds, slosh some of it around inside, dump it out, rinse it out, and let it air dry!

I have been using this over a month and there is NO chips & no peeling paint.  Very durable and very smart. Every woman should have this, without a doubt. No more carrying around plain jane bottles, these are all about ECO smart style!

It comes with a snap clip which can be put on backpacks, purses, messenger bags, yoga bags, your belt loop.. ANYWHERE.

About EarthLust:

EarthLust eco-friendly bottles are hand made from high quality #304 (18/8) food grade stainless steel, which is naturally safe unlined. We use non-toxic paints and BPA-free safe polypropylene #5 caps to further ensure nothing harmful gets in the water you are drinking. Our stainless steel bottles feature custom designs; these are not boring, stock or one-color bottles. Since Earthlust creates their own designs, most of the line is limited edition - new art will arrive soon! Select from our 13 ounce steel bottles, 20 ounce bottles and 1 liter water bottles. Each bottle comes with a high quality carabineer plus optional tops are available for all sizes to create your very own custom, stainless steel sports bottle. We are happy to bring the EarthLust line to a store near you - every water bottle helps to eliminate waste and gives you a safe and stylish way to have a cold beverage near you at all times! No need to worry about Bisphenol-A, Phthalates or PVC with our stainless steel water bottles! From the BPA-free plastic caps to the food grade stainless steel, our water bottles are as safe as they are stylish. We recommend using a baking soda or diluted white vinegar wash to preserve the clean, neutral taste over time (brush as needed).Earthlust bottles are ethically made in China and designed and tested in California.

Book Review: Marriage Bargain by Jennifer Probst

The Marriage Bargain

A Marriage in name only…

To save her family home, impulsive book store owner Alexa Maria McKenzie casts a love spell. But she never planned on conjuring her best friend’s older brother-the powerful man who once shattered her heart.

Billionare Nicholas Ryan doesn’t believe in marriage, but in order to inherit his father’s corporation, he needs a wife and needs one fast. When he discovers his sister’s childhood friend is in dire financial straits, he offers Alexa a bold proposition.

A marriage in name only with certain rules. Avoid entanglement. Keep things all business. Do not fall in love. The arrangement is only for a year so the rules shouldn’t be that hard to follow, right?

Except fate has a way of upsetting the best-laid plans

Entangled Publishing LLC

Meet The Author:

Jennifer Probst wrote her first book at twelve years old. She bound it in a folder, read it to her classmates, and hasn’t stopped writing since. She makes her home in Upstate New York with the whole crew who keep her active, stressed, joyous, and sad her house will never be truly clean.

My Thoughts*

I absolutely FLEW through this book. I couldn’t seem to put it down. The characters are so enticing and just make you love them. This isn’t your everyday romance novel. This brings laughter AND tears, aggravation and excitement.

As I am reading through this book, I actually felt like I was reading the life of a friend- I totally got lost in the characters, especially the main 2. The words and characters just wrap themselves around you and put a spell on you..

I couldn’t break away from this book. I took it with me to pick my son up from school and sat in the car reading it. Usually it takes forever.. this time I was actually thinking to myself “My god that was fast” as the traffic started moving forward.

This is an absolute MUST read, even if you don’t read romance novels. This isn’t some kissy face book that can’t hold a candle to real life. This is all about REAL and I believed every single bit of it. Yes, it does include romance, but the fiery love romance- not some muscled up man loving a raven haired beauty that he spotted from afar..

I just don’t usually dig romance novels, but I’m telling you—I LOVED this book!

Review: Whitening Lightning & Color Your Smile Lip Gloss

clip_image001
As a mother of 2 small kids, there is no way that I can go to the Dentist and get a professional whitening. I have noticed over the years that my teeth haven’t stood up to all the coke, tea, and coffee I consume. So, of course I get self conscious about this, and wanted to do something about it.
clip_image001[9]
When I heard about Whitening Lighting I was excited. It is an at home teeth whitening kit that only takes 20 minutes to use! Called, Dial A Smile by Whitening Lightning, it makes whitening teeth a breeze.
I have been using this for about a month now. This is absolutely painless, and very simple to use. All the tools I needed were provided in the kit. It comes with a shade finder, so you can track the progress of how far you’ve come in lightening those stains and the yellowing that comes with caffeine.
You coat your lips and teeth with the Vitamin E swap that is provided, and then brush on the whitening gel. The gel tastes a bit like using a peroxide toothpaste, but isn’t strong. It never once irritated my teeth, lips, or gums.
While it’s on I could still go about my daily routine of giving the kids a bath and helping Aidan with his homework. While I was doing this, my teeth were getting pampered, COOL huh?
After your 20 minutes is up, you brush off the gel and check your teeth. I could instantly see that they were already 2 shades lighter. After using this for the entire month, I can now say that my teeth are a happy and vibrant 7 shades lighter. The more I use it, the lighter my teeth become. I LOVE that I can do this in the comfort of my home while taking care of the kids.
If you’re a mom, you know how hard it is to get an appointment for yourself even if you CAN afford the high prices on a regular whitening treatment. Everytime I go to the doctor or dentist, I have to bring my kids. There aren’t many people in my life that help me out watching them. So I have to bring bags of snacks, drinks, crayons & coloring books, & toys.
So, it makes it extremely hard on me. So, something that lets me stay at home without having to deal with all the frustrations of watching them while getting a treatment in an absolute DREAM!
clip_image001[11]
Whiten your teeth at home in only 20 minutes.
  • Contains 3 complete professional whitening treatments
  • Whiten your teeth at home
  • Takes only 20 minutes
  • Painless
  • An outstanding value- Don’t pay $1500 for 3 whitening treatments from a dentist
  • 4-7 shades whiter per treatment on average
  • Great for smokers, wine, and coffee lovers
  • Great for teens that just got their braces off

Super Booster Pen
You use these pens like you would a lipstick. You turn the bottom (you hear clicks) until you see the gel poke out at the top of the pen onto the bristles. Then just apply it to your teeth and wait until it dries up.

Whiten your teeth while you sleep with a Whitening Lightning Teeth Whitening Pen
  • Up to 7-10 shades in 14 days
  • Works while you sleep
  • No unpleasant taste
  • Just paint it on
  • No sensitivity unpleasant taste

Airbac Backpack Review

image


95 Days Til Christmas

Holiday Gift Guide 


Finding a Laptop Backpack for a 17” laptop is pretty hard. When I got the laptop, I looked everywhere for something to store and carry it in. They didn’t have any at walmart, target, or best buy. I was saddened.

Then when I seen that Airbac had a backpack that not only would fit my huge laptop, but would also help protect my back from all the heavy weight, I was IN and totally excited!
With a regular backpack, there tends to be a ton of weight shifted onto the back, shoulders, and spine. This is giving kids, teens, and young adults back problems not only more frequently, but at a younger age.
This Airbac backpack helps to disperses the weight evenly, so I am not being weighed down and hurting with shoulder pain. This has something called “an Air-bladder” which is in the lower part of the backpack and sits on your lower back.

It helps the backpack to sit more evenly with your body instead of having issues being too high, or too low. The shoulder straps are also padded, so if you carry your laptop and textbooks, the shoulder pads help protect your shoulders from being cut into.
This backpack is like a dream. I SO wish I had this when I was in high school. I don’t know how many days I come home with an aching back because I had homework from every single class. All the books were pulling on my shoulders, causing major pain in my neck and back.

This helps with the weight, it’s comfortable, AND stylish. I love how this backpack looks. I love how many pockets it has, and how it protects my laptop. When you sit this bag down on the ground while you’re in class the “air-bladder” protects the laptop and keeps it from touching the actual floor.
It comes pre-pumped with air. It holds the air for a year, and it can be pumped with a regular hand pump or an electric one. You just put the pump tip into the little circle and refill the air.
Not to mention that it’s protected by the extra insulated laptop sleeve that is inside the backpack. It has a velcro strap that lays over the laptop and velcro’s the laptop in.

There bigger zipper compartment with the 2 zippers is a store all pocket. It has a smaller version of the major compartment. It has a space to put a tablet or ereader, pencils, pens, smaller notebooks, a calculator, anything you need.

There is an even smaller pocket in the front that I am SO glad is there. I can stick the charger to both my laptop and the charger to my camera, so that if one of them start to die I can just break out the chargers and not have to worry about it.

The two side pockets can hold wallets, sunglasses, or anything small. I use these two pockets to store my USB plug-ins and SD cards, so if I need my blog designs or pictures they are right at my fingertips.

The backpack comes in red and blue. This is the PERFECT gift for high school students, college students, or working people who have to take their computers and tablets with them.
This will not only benefit the health of their back, but it protects their electronics.
I LOVE this backpack!
BUY IT: You can buy the Ring Backpack from the Airbac website for $69.99

Review: Made from Earth Peppermint Conditioner

clip_image001

MadeFromEarth has an amazing line of skin and hair care that contains NOTHING but the highest possible levels of organic ingredients that come directly from organic farms. There are no toxins, paraffins, or synthetic ingredients. So no worries as you clean you face or wash your hair.

I was ecstatic when I was given the chance to review the Peppermint Herbal Conditioner from MadeFromEarth. I had never had the experience of using a peppermint conditioner before. It is known for it’s ability give relief from depression, stress, and mental exhaustion.

The oil in the conditioner is amazing. The peppermint works amazing at providing a cooling effect to the scalp, and it leaves a “waxy” coating on the hair. It provides a protective barrier over each individual strand,all while trapping in the moisture to replenish hair. There is REAL peppermint oil in this conditioner.

I really liked this conditioner because it had a long lasting moisturizing effect. It didn’t just leave it soft and moisturized for a few hours, only to leave me hanging in the end. This has the FOLLOW THROUGH. My hair didn’t need to be washed daily, because it didn’t weigh my hair down.

The peppermint scent was DIFFERENT than other conditioners I’ve used, it did have a calming and relaxing effect. When I squeezed the conditioner out of the bottle, the peppermint smell was a little overwhelming at first, but as I rubbed in my hair- and after I blow-dried it- it wasn’t so strong. It was only a lightly scented enjoyable peppermint scent.

I love that all MadeFromEarth products contain only plant-based vitamins. There is nothing harmful about this conditioner. You don’t have to worry about chemicals or synthetic ingredients. '

Ingredients: 

Organic Aloe Juice, Organic Lavender Distillate, Organic Roman Chamomile Distillate, Cetearyl Alcohol, Castor Seed Oil, Stearalkonium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Hydrolized Wheat, Mentha piperita (Pepper mint) Essential Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Essential Oil, Panthenol Vitamin B5, Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Rosehip Seed Oil, Organic Black Willow Bark Extract.
