Review: TriMi The Interchangeable Tank Top

TriMi Tank is an amazing invention. After having an "A-ha" moment while catching up on back issues of The Shark Tank on Hulu, I knew I had to give this amazing TriMi Tank a try. The inventors, two energetic go-getting mom's (who both have 3 kids) just make you want to root "Snatch that up Sharks!!". TriMi Tank offers tanks and dresses with interchangeable, removable straps.

The TriMi Tank comes with two standard sets of straps on every TriMi, which are the small black beaded one and the chain. With each purchase, you get to choose another set of straps at no charge. You can purchase more for only $5 for a set. These women thought of everything, looking through the different straps the possibilities are endless. I loved the concept.

There are tons and tons of different colors, fabrics, and ribbons. This would make it perfect for wearing to your son/daughters football/basketball games. You can mix and match them as well, so live it up!

When mine arrived, I was SO ecstatic to give it a try. I absolutely loved the way the tank fit. It feels like a second skin (I HATE loose fitting tanks) so I was glad that this one fit flawlessly. There is nothing like having a tank top that you can change in a snap and be on your way.

I loved that it was SO simple to change out the different straps, there wasn't any fighting trying to get them snapped. It was easy as pie because of the big lobster claw clasps that they come with. I loved that no matter what look I was looking for, it could be achieved. I can't wait for summer to get here to be able to put them to test out in the heat! Since it's winter, I've been spicing them up wearing it with button-up shirts with the buttons open.

I love the comfort of the tank, it's easy to forget that it's there. It doesn't itch or bunch up. It tucks in nicely, so if you wear your shirts tucked in a lot- this is perfect for that. There isn't anything that can't be worn with these. I've worn them with shorts around the house, jeans, dress pants, and even mini skirts, sweats, and yoga pants! The black of the tank makes sure that it goes with ANYTHING!

They even have a dress with the same concept- that you can change out the straps! I love this as well. It could be a work dress with a little cardigan during the day- and then exchange the straps and go to a party that night! Absolute genius! I give the Tank and the straps an A+.

About TriMi:

TriMi Tanks were created by Nikki Bilski and Lindsay Johnson, both “hockey moms” of three kids, who first thought of the TriMi Tank concept at a 6am hockey practice!  Hailing from Pittsburgh, these ladies developed this mere thought into a fun and unique product idea!

According to the official TriMi Tank website, “after extensive trial and error, research, late nights and lots of laughs,” they were overjoyed to present their creation to the world!

TriMi Tanks, which were featured on the ABC Reality Show, “Shark Tank” (starring another Pittsburgher, Mark Cuban) are plain tank tops that have interchangeable straps! Their website says, “Imagine having one shirt that can have UNLIMITED looks!  TriMi Tank is exactly that.  Wear how you feel, everyday.”

It goes on to describe the products: “Each TriMi Tank comes with 3 interchangeable sets of straps — wear them together or separately. A fun double link chain and black beads accompany every shirt, YOU get to pick your favorite third choice! Endless optional straps are also available for purchase to create even more looks. Go glam, chic, or playful — YOU decide!”

A Hard Act to Follow by Henry Bushkin; 360 Guy Books

Within a year after Johnny's move to Los Angeles, he implored Henry Bushkin to join him in Hollywood. Together they carved out Henry's job description: lawyer, agent, manager, and tennis partner. For Johnny, it was more important that Bushkin be there rather than have any job or set of issues to deal with. Other than being Johnny's lawyer, of course. His job was to protect him. There was no definition other than that.

Some friends have said that the introverted Carson simply found someone who understands better than most what made him tick. Bushkin was part of a Hollywood tradition- lawyer-confidant. Bushkin and Carson then became partners, and it enabled the lawyer to gain great stature and the ability to step beyond the normal protocols of entertainment lawyers.

But after almost two decades of great success the relationship ended. It had run its course. And A HARD ACT TO FOLLOW shares with its readers the rollicking years when Carson and Bushkin shared great times together.

MY REVIEW

Every since I was in high school I have been fascinated with the psychology of Human behavior. WHY people do and say the things they do. What makes them tick. What could make them better? I definitely wanted to pursue the career, although it never happened.

More than just learning the psychology of behavior and the mind of normal people, I have always been intrigued with the rich and famous. They can't be classified with normal people because they don't have the limits that we do whether it be money, vacations, or expansive houses.

Normal people become depressed because they don't have enough money to buy the house they want, pay their car payment, or be able to stand financially on their own two feet after a lay-off.

Most of the problems that the rich have, have absolutely NOTHING to do with money. In this book we see both the bad and good sides of Johnny Carson. We see that he could be absolutely fine one moment, and then explode the next.

He drank a LOT, womanized all the time, and turned down 2 million dollars each year for only 2 days of modeling suits.. How crazy is that? Most people would jump at the chance to model for 2 days for $2 million dollars. That would be a dream come true.

Also most normal people would love to own their own movie producing studio, but Johnny didn't really need the money and didn't want to make the effort on his part. Sure- he gave money to those who needed it around him, but why turn down a chance to own something so significant?

I really liked this book. Because the author was Johnny Carson's right hand man we get to see a side of him that nobody else could have written. Henry Bushkin ended up being much MUCH more than just a lawyer to Johnny. He was basically his companion, his mess cleaner-upper, and his friend.

Henry never seen himself as Johnny's friend until Johnny himself said it, but that's exactly what it was. He tells some very interesting stories about their friendship, their vacations, and just normal days in the life of Johnny Carson.

We see him go through 4 wives and have 2 sons, all of which he could never outright give affection to. We see him love his father, and until the day she died- try and impress his mother. He was and still is the most successful Tonight Show host and she still never paid him a compliment to tell him how proud she was of him.

This is the "barrier" behind Johnny Carson's "ticks", He could never truly accept compliments from anyone because the compliment he wanted most- he never received. His problems stemmed from his cold-hearted mother.

I love looking in the past- always have. Although Johnny was hosting the Tonight show before my mom was even born (almost) I still knew who he was (who doesn't?). This book doesn't only contain insights about the famous Mr. Carson, but it also has some on some of the most famous people during the era's of 60's-80's.

My favorite movie when I was little was "The Wizard of Oz" and I loved that Henry mentioned that Judy Garland always had to be hypnotized before she went on stage.. I never knew that. He also mentions plenty of other celebrities such as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, and others.

This isn't just some other tell all book. It actually took me back to the places and the times that he describes and made me feel like I was sitting in the room with them. Watching them drink expensive alcohol and carry on while Johnny Carson told jokes at their table.

I could actually see Johnny pitching a fit when he had to wait 10-15 minutes on their boat.. I could SEE all of this because of the way the writer describes everything. I would have loved to been a fly on the wall.

This book isn't a biography per se but it shows most things that biographies don't. This is like reading someone's journal from back then..

I really liked it..!!

If you would like to read it (WHICH you should) It's a very interesting book.. You can preorder the book A Hard Act to Follow.

Review: Bedford Slims Rechargeable Vapourette E-cigarette

I received A Bedford Slims Menthol Tobacco Vapourette electronic cigarette mini-kit to review. The kit came with the vapourette battery (cigarette), three flavor cartridges and a USB charger.

The mini-kit is super affordable at only $12.00. The mini-kit only comes with one battery (which is the cigarette) and one flavored cartridge.

The kit doesn't come charged up, so you have to charge before using it. It takes 2 hours (and hooks into a USB port of your computer). The light on the charger of the vapourette turns red when connected to the USB port to let you know that it is charging correctly.

It has 3 hours of continued use before the battery runs out. 3 hours is longer than you might think. You aren't going to sit and puff on the e-cig (or any cigarette) for 3 straight hours. So it's an overall of 3 hours and not straight.

Each cartridge screws onto the battery (which is the cigarette). The cartridge is the tip of the cigarette you put your mouth on, and each one contains 300 puffs. If this were a real cigarette, it would equivalent to 2 packs of cigarettes.

If you add that up (no matter what kind of cigarettes you smoke) it pays for itself very quickly. Spending money on cigarettes can add up VERY quickly. If you're a smoker than you already know this.

The taxes on cigarettes are horrendous. The cigarettes I smoke are now $$4 dollars a pack, when just a couple years ago could be bought for 2.50.

I was watching T.V. the other day and noted that I would HATE to live in New York where cigarettes are 8 and 9 dollars a pack. It was a story about people traveling to other states to buy cigarette because they couldn't afford them in New York. Who could?

Even here in Kentucky it isn't that much better and Tobacco is grown and harvested here. The best way to avoid the high prices and nasty stares when you're in public is to go electronic these days.

The thing that I noticed first when opening the package was the design of the vapourette. It has a red/white/black plaid design which is very awesome.

The cartridges ingredients are water, nicotine, natural and artificial flavors and glycerin. There are both menthol and non-menthol vapourettes, so whatever flavor you prefer they have. The company offers three dosage strengths for their nicotine, full flavored is 24 mg, light is 12 mg and they also offer a 0 mg dosage!

The best thing about this is that you can use this in public (ANYWHERE) without the hassle of nasty looks from non-smokers. There is absolutely no smell or smoke, so there aren't any risks of second hand smoke at all.

It just has a scentless vapour that is inhaled and exhaled, and then immediately disappears. I used to hate having to carry air freshener with me in the car, I hated that stale smoke smell that comes with smoking. It lingered in the car, on clothes, and even hair. No stale smoke smell at all now, so I am one happy smoker.

Inside each of the Vapourettes contains a battery, a microprocessor and a cartridge. and flavour to give the satisfaction of smoking without the tar and and odor of a real cigarette. These three things is what heats up the nicotine When you inhale a puff of the vapourette the end of the cigarette lights up red and you can hear a distinct crackling sound.

Towards the end of the life of the flavour cartridge you will notice that it get’s harder to pull a drag off, you may also not be able to get anything at all. These are indicators that the flavour cartidge has been used up and it’s time to exchange it for a new one.

If you are just starting out with the Vapourette, you'll need to get the starter kit (which is only $34). If you don't get the starter kit, there isn't a way to charge the cigarette. The starter kit comes with the vaporette cartridge (cigarette), USB charger and 6 flavor cartridges.

BUY IT: You can buy a starter kit for $32  or a mini-kit for $13

Review: LilyBug Pretend Makeup

All little girls want to be just like mommy. I found that out a short while ago when I was getting some clothes out of the dryer and folded them. I had noticed that Adisyn was super quiet.. so I went to see what she was doing, and found an $80 mineral eye shadow stack dumped all over my bed.

There was nothing I could do about it. I sprayed it and sprayed it, but it seemed to just smear even deeper into the mattress. Now there is a mixture of purple/pink/gold blob on it and it won’t come out. No matter how long it’s been (2 months now) I still wake up with glitter on me because of the makeup.

It is funny now, but wasn’t so funny at the time. It was a huge mess.. not to mention $8- worth of eyeshadow down the drain. OUCH! You have no idea how thrilled I was to find LilyBug Pretend Makeup. This makeup looks “real” but isn’t.

It is 100% pretend, so it’s mess free. No worries, no messes, and a happy little girl who thinks she looks absolutely beautiful putting her “makeup” on. She was asleep when the mailman brought it. She woke up and I showed it to her. She said “Oh mommy, it is SO beautiful” and began playing with it.

I’m pretty sure it occupied at least an hour and a half right then and there. She was SO captivated by the thought of having her “OWN” makeup. I thought it was cute that it came with everything a “mommy” would carry in her makeup bag.

It came with: A foundation palette, brushes, a lipstick, a blush, mascara and 2 eyeshadow palettes. One of the eyeshadow palettes is a shimmer while the other isn’t.

It is absolutely brilliant. Her daddy didn’t know that she had gotten this—he was at work when the mail ran. Later that night I went to bed a bit early because I hadn’t slept well the night before. The next day he told me that he had taken away some makeup that she had gotten into. He said “she kept saying that it was hers and started crying.” I said “Adam that’s because it IS hers, it’s completely fake—TOY makeup.” He returned with “THAT did NOT look like a toy”… fooled the daddy Hehe

The maker of Lilybug pretend makeup had the same thing happen to her (which is how lilybug makeup happened). Her little girl got into her makeup and spilled it everywhere as well. I had so much fun talking to her, swapping the horrendous tales of stained carpet and bedding..

I love that they sell different packs on the website. SO no matter what budget you may be following, there is still room for a little surprise for your baby girl. There is really nothing like the look on their face when they see it. She had absolutely no idea that it was a toy.. and we had so much fun together. She gave both myself and her aunt (my sister) a makeover.. she was so thrilled.

We had toy makeup when I was little, but it was NOTHING like this. The makeup I got way back in the day looked and felt fake and it only came with a plastic lipstick. This is something that you’d have to look twice at to figure out it was fake.

If you know a curious little girl who would love to look and feel beautiful with her “makeup” you should definitely check out Lilybug pretend Makeup.

Buy It: There are packs as low as ……. but you can buy the 6 piece necessity  makeup set for $20

Make your little princess very happy with this addition to her most loved possessions! This listing is for: 1 Lipstick (Pink Taffeta) Rolls up and down just like real lipstick! 2-4 Shade eyeshadows (1 flat multi-color and 1 sparkly multi-color) 1 Blush with mini blush brush 1 Pressed powder compact w/ sponge (your choice of skin tone color) 1 5pc makeup brush set w/ carrying bag **BONUS** 1 Sheer pink carrying bag Temporarily the Pink Taffeta shade will be in the tube shown in the last picture. Please only purchase for little ones past the oral stage. Brush applicators could be considered a choking hazard. Pressed powder compact has a real mirror in it. Lipstick is made with a firm non-toxic plastic like material and is painted with 100% non-toxic and lead free paint.

Review: Rock N Learn PreSchool Ready for School DVD

Rock N Learn has the most amazing educational DVDs. You may have seen my Rock n Learn Sight Words Review a couple of months ago. We have tons of fun with these DVDs. It helps my son and then I save the DVDs and work on them with my daughter who is 2 years younger than my son.

I am loving that these DVD’s catch the attention of the kids. They aren’t just boring and bland DVD’s that sit on our shelf and are never watched. We still watch the Sight words, and the kids were excited to add another to collection.

The length of the DVD’s fit a young child’s attention span perfectly. They are about 30 minutes long and have colorful eye-catching characters. There is a boy AND a girl character, so no matter what gender your child is- they are sure to relate to them.

In this DVD, it teaches kids how to be ready for school. Although Aidan knows his colors and shapes, he doesn’t know how to tie his shoes or make his own bed.

Adisyn is only 3, so she and I watch this together when Aidan is in school. She doesn’t yet know her shapes, so this is something that we’ve been working on. She only knows her circles and triangles at this point, so I was glad to get some interactive help from Rock N Learn.

It also teaches numbers and how to get dressed all by yourself. Aidan knows how to dress himself, he just has some issues here and there about putting his shoes on the wrong feet. He knows his letters up to 10, but he gets confused after that.

We’ve been working on ABC’s and with the help of this DVD (and extra help at school) he has finally mastered it (although P still confuses him). I love that the DVD takes it slow so that he has a chance to get used to each letter before it goes on to the next one.

The problem we were having with other learning DVD’s is that they would speed through the numbers and letters, which flustered him and didn’t help him at all. I loved that they showed the letters as magnetized refrigerator letters.

We have had some silly learning fun with this DVD. They make it more engaging and encouraging because they not only TELL- they show and singsong it. Which- it what really helps kids.

Adisyn is still in her mocking stage- so she was singing these cute little songs long after the DVD was over. I am extremely glad to have gotten the chance to let my kids’ enjoy and be entertained by Rock N Learn.

Review: Starlooks December Starbox

I have been so lucky to review the Amazing Starlooks December Starbox. I know you’re saying “but this is January?” I know, I know. There was a slight problem with the Postal Service, Instead of sending it to my house, they were shipping it back and forth between Louisville and Nashville.. so needless to say- I just got the box.

I was happy to see it in the mail. I had seen the preview of the December box in my November box and was very antsy to try it. As you all know- I LOVE color, and that counts in my eyeshadow as well.
I love playing with makeup, creating different looks just to see what works with my complexion and eye tone. When I opened the box to see the amazing 15 eyeshadow palette, I was overjoyed.

The box had silver confetti on the top of the eyeshadow along with the card that explained the coloring of the eyeshadows. It was very “Decembery”. I loved the light pink coloring of the box along with the detailed silver confetti inside.

Although the box had been shipped back and forth for an entire month, it arrived unharmed. The eyeshadow was packed in the black cardboard protector that you see in the picture above. Taking the eyeshadow palette out of the box to inspect—showed that all were intact without ANY pieces breaking off or breaking into pieces! YEA!

I loved that there were so many different color choices within these 15. There is purple, yellow, brown, green, blue, red, and an orangey shade. Each comes with a glitter and non-glitter. OH did I have so much fun!

Just within these 15, there are so many beautiful possibilities that I was SUPER happy to be able to work with Starlooks. They are absolutely brilliant. Every single month when a box comes, I just can’t WAIT to see what’s inside.

If you would like to be a part of the mystery of receiving 3-4 full sized samples of beauty products a month for just $15- you can order it as well. If you would like to show someone you’re thinking of them (a daughter, best friend, sister, or niece) this is the perfect opportunity.

This is perfect because if you were to go out and buy 3-4 full sized beauty products a month you’ll be paying WAY more than just $15 a month. So subscribe and get your NEXT monthly Starbox!
BUY IT: You can buy the December Starlooks Starbox for $25

Review: TrueKare Water Wear Push up Pads & Breast Enhancers

If you’re like me and have a problem with little to almost no cleavage, then you are going to fall in love with the two products I am about to tell you about. TrueKare sent me their Waterwear Push-up Pads and their Enhancer.

The Waterwear Push-Up Pads

The Waterwear Push Up Pads that I were sent came in Nude, but they also have black. These are filled with a mixture of water and natural oil that gave me the most comfortable breast enhancement. They felt so real that I forgot they were there.

What you do is slip them in the pocket of your favorite push-up bra which is what I did. You can also fit these in the sides of your breasts so that they push your breasts together to give you that “closeness” that so many of us desire.

It feels amazing to feel like a curvy woman. I’ve always wanted those natural curves, but since I am naturally 5’3 and 115 pounds- that isn’t something that I can manage by myself, so I was glad to have the help.

These come in 2 different sizes, so no matter what size you are, you’ll have an amazing fit. They have A/B and B/C. So if you’re an A or a smaller B you can choose the A/B selection- or if you’re a larger B or C, you can choose the B/C selection.

It’s hard to go out with a low-cut shirt on without the Push-up pads. I feel so “naked” and breastless. I can’t help it, I’ve always been self-conscious about having smaller boobs. There’s a big gaping hole everytime I wear a bathing suit—so it does bother me.

I KNOW for a fact that these will fit inside the pocket of my bathing suit as well. Since they feel real and have oil and water inside instead of feeling like foam, I can definitely wear these at the pool or beach without feeling insecure.

These are completely washable as well. You hand wash them in cold water and then air dry them.. wa-lah they’re clean!

BUY IT: You can buy the Waterwear Push-up Pad for $13.99

The Enhancers

These are my absolute favorite. These are easy to clean, easy to wear, and gives the confidence of a full bust without life changing surgery. Strapless dresses, low-cut shirts, and bathing suits were never my friends before getting the Enhancers.

They always seem to mock me.. Not having enough cleavage to fill in the gaps was frustrating and made me less of a woman. People who see me still think I’m like 17 because of my body type.

I’m thinking “For heaven’s sake, I have a 5 year old son—I am NOT 17”. When I wear strapless shirts, I spend more time hiking them back up and readjusting then anything, so I usually avoided wearing them altogether.

Now that I have the Enhancers, It makes it so much easier to wear things that I avoided before. Now I can wear low cut shirts and strapless shirts without feel like I’m lacking in the bust department. This really helps in the confidence department.

The best part is that neither one of these products are expensive, and you can take them out at night. There isn’t a risk of a life-changing surgery that costs thousands of dollars.

I love how real they look AND feel. They even have the added nipple- so that if you wear a thin shirt or tank top there isn’t the old :missing nipple: problem that I’ve seen other enhancers have.

BUY IT: You can buy the Enhancer set for $23.99

Book Review: Singer Simple Sewing by Beth Baumgartel; Creative Publishing

This comprehensive at-your-fingertips reference is an essential addition to every sewer’s library. With more than 1,000 detailed illustrations, SINGER Simple Sewing covers all the need-to-know basics for garment construction and home décor. There’s also an entire section on mending and repair to help you recycle your favorite items with quick and reliable fixes.

No matter what type of sewing project you’re working on, SINGER Simple Sewing will help you sharpen your skills and find smart solutions to make each of your projects the very best.

I began learning to sew in high school home economics class. I learned how to make pillows, blankets, and even a pair of pajamas. I didn’t own my own sewing machine back then though, so when I finally did get mine I was a little rusty.

Being able to review the Singer Simple Sewing Reference book has been amazing. Even though I’ve been sewing (with my own machine) for close to 4 years now, there were still parts of sewing that had me stuck in a rut.

Mostly I just made whatever came into mind when I pulled out the fabric. I was very limited in selection though. I could only make small items such as purses, laptop bags, and random items.

I couldn’t put a piece of clothing together or do anything hard because following patterns was difficult for me. There were other things such as the different machine feet ((I wasn’t sure what was necessary to buy and what I could wait to purchase later).

I love that this book comes with it’s own DVD. You can insert it into your computer or DVD player and see the video’s that accompany the chapters in this book. It shows how to start with your machine, getting ready to start sewing, how to change presser feet, and more. It makes it a lot easier to understand (especially if you’re a beginner.)

Looking through the book was amazing.. they cover anything and everything that has to do with sewing. This is the perfect book for a beginner, but even if you aren’t *like me* there is something to be learned.

The beginning of the book consists of everything there is to know about different parts of the sewing machine and the tools that are needed to begin sewing. The tools contain everything from machine & hand needles, interfacing fusibles, pressing, cutting, & marking tools, to lining.

The detailed illustrations that come with each page make it that much easier to see what you need to do or what is what in sewing tools. The best thing about it that it doesn’t just describe what these things are, it actually tells you how to use the items.

There when I began sewing the differences between fusibles, interfacing, and stabilizers had me confused. This book is amazing because it breaks down what each one is, what they are used best with (i.e. heavyweight interfacing is best for toys, crafts, and accessories), and how to apply them.

The part that helped me best was the “Working with Patterns” part. Taking a pattern and making it your own is quite difficult to begin if you don’t understand HOW to work with the pattern. This part of the book breaks down why there are  different sizes on the pattern and how to make sure that you cut and sew them so that they fit YOU. They even show you how to measure yourself so that you know WHICH of the several patterns is more to your body type.

It breaks down each and every notch, dotted line, solid lines, and everything in between. This made me feel more confident just looking at a pattern. It helps to feel like you can accomplish and tackle something before you ever even try. If you’re frazzled before you begin, it won’t take long for something to go wrong.

No matter what you’re trying to accomplish or learn, you can do it with this book. Making ribbons & tassels & bias binding, forming gathers & adding darts, inserting elastic into a casing, pleats, ruffles, and hems.

If you look at a piece and think you might skip it overall because it tells you that you have to do something that you’re scared of, be scared no more my friend! I used to think that shortening a zipper would break my machine needles, so I didn’t even give it a try. This book firmly and efficiently shows how to shorten  a zipper so that it functions after you’ve shortened it to size!  And it even shows how to insert it if you are stuck on that part too. Amazing!

There is a whole chapter dedicated to showing how to sew up home décor items. This shows how to choose the right fabric and go about sewing shower curtains, bedding, napkins, regular curtains, tablecloths, placemats, and so much more! You’ll be sewing you’re heart away in no time!

The last part of the book is completely about mending and repair. This shows you how to examine a piece and thoroughly decide whether it’s able to be mended or thrown out. Whether it be stressed seams, holes in clothing, patching pockets, adding decorative trim, adding buttons/snaps/zippers that have popped off, repairing lining, or adding extra fabric to clothing that’s gotten too tight- this book nails it right on the head.

Whether you’re a beginner, want to become handy around the house, start your own seamstress business, or know someone who does—this is the perfect book for them or you!! If you buy it for someone else, they will thank you until the end of their days! It is a very helpful book! I love it!
