Boogie Wipes- Review and Contest!

Ah, cold and flu season. We all know it! Have had it, maybe have it now? (Wish it would go away and never come back, taking it’s lovely friends “mucus” and “congestion” with it?) One of the annoyances that come along with colds is the constant runny noses! As an adult, it’s bad enough. But when I see my Little Man with that red, chapped nose? I feel so bad! I can’t stand it when he gets worked up over a tissue- he doesn’t want me to wipe it because he knows it’s going to hurt his nosie. Poor bubbie! So what’s a mommy to do? Often, I end up using a wet wipe, like one that is made for “diaper messes”. But there is another kind of wipe- called “Boogie Wipes” that I just got to try out. Made just for runny noses, they don’t chap them like a regular tissue does. They are soft and sensitive, and come in 3 varieties- Unscented, Aloe, and Grape (LOL, like you are going to eat them!) They are really big, too- so if you have a GIANT boogie mess- you are good to go! I usually ended up cutting them in half, because I don’t like to waste, and they are too big for your average nose wipe. But it is good to have the option of the GIANT MESS WIPE if you need it- because we all know they come, don’t they?

Boogie Wipes are made with natural saline to dissolve boogies (mucus) caused by the common cold, allergies or otherwise booger-filled kid moments.
Extra soft, alcohol, phthalate and paraben free, Boogie Wipes are available in Great Grape, Fresh Scent, Magic Menthol and Simply Unscented. Recommended by pediatricians as a gentle, effective alternative to a dry tissue.

I get to tell you about 5 FABULOUS bloggers today! What a fun post. And where to begin! There are so many blogs that I love, it’s super hard to say what my favorites are. So, I am just going to talk about bloggers who are fabulous, and also write blogs that I love, LOL.
You all know I love Blessed Elements– and Miss Grace is one of the sweetest people that I know. She writes inspirational posts, as well as stuff that is just plain fun! I love her photos of family life, and stories about things that are going on (or have gone on!) Once in a while she does a review- just to be versatile! But her big loves are art and spreading the love. And Miss Grace, you are loved!
Energizer Bunny’s Mommy Reports is another fun giveaway site. She has so many awesome giveaways, that I am often very jealous, LOL. She is also one of the nicest people in bloggy-land. When I first started this little blog-o-mine, she was such a big support and help to me, and I annoyed her countless, countless times. And she still put up with me! 🙂 (I still bother her on the regular- and she is still nice enough to answer my emails! Thanks EBMR!)
She is also the Train Queen- if there is a train that exists in the world, you can be assured that Energizer Bunny Mom has reviewed it!

Total Fitness DVDs- Review and Contest

OK, so it’s January. How is that New Years Resolution going? Have you found a fitness product or workout routine that you love? Variety, I believe, really is the spice of life.

But I did find a fun one! Anyone who wants to try a fun workout, that is interesting, different, and something you will look forward to doing- this is one for you! I love Pure Barre Pershing Square 2 DVD, by Carrie Rezabek. Total Fitness DVDs has some really fun and interesting workout options- I have never heard of this one!- and when I got the chance to do a review of Pure Barre, I was super excited! I am not graceful, I am not (and never have been!) a dancer or enrolled in a dance or gymnastics class.
And, let me state this- IT IS REALLY HARD! Not because you need fantastic dance moves, or hard in the way that you will not want to do it, but it will definitely make you work. Like- the next day? I was sore in places I didn’t remember that I had, and I found myself muttering unkind things at the instructor under my breath as I went through the routine (hehehe). I also must confess- I didn’t make it all the way through the first time. But you know, I kept at it- and I did get though it after the third try. I am not going to hurt myself or kill myself over losing weight or getting “fit”- you can’t get fit if you can’t move, LOL!
I’m not in the best shape (I used to be a competitive athlete, and I was a paid model at one point long ago and far away!) but I know I can get there. Pure Barre definitely made me work- but isn’t that it’s “job”?
I do really like it. I posted a few times on Facebook and Twitter about how it is going- and if you are followers there, you know that I’m loving it! It’s hard, but so far it has been one of my favorites. I also Bookmarked “Total Fitness DVDs” for future use- they have such a great selection, and I know I am going to want to shop there the next time that I am on the lookout for a new “something” to get me moving!

Toggle Bandz, review and contest!

Toggle Bandz were thought up by a stay at home military wife, who was frustrated by so many headbands falling out of her daughter’s very fine hair. She decided to put a toggle (like at the end of a coat) on the end of a ribbon. They come in lots of sizes and colors, with many design options to choose from. Some are thin, some are thick.
I didn’t like them in my own daughter’s hair, because her hair is super short, and you can see the toggle in the back. And the ribbon was so much longer then her hair, so it looked funny. Kamikaze also has super fine, thin hair, so I can understand the maker of Toggle Bandz‘s frustration! It did stay in my hair, though- this is me, with one of the thicker Toggle Bandz in my hair.

About Toggle Bandz- “Toggle Bandz were created by myself(stay at home military wife) having had found frustrations in market headbands and hair accessories. My 5 yr old daughter has thin fine hair and they would slip or roll right off her head. So I developed Toggle Bandz adjustable headbands. I make them all sizes,widths,colors and themes, Custom orders are always welcome.
