Wubble Ball Review of Two New Types – Wubble Fulla Slime and Wubble Fulla Marbles

March 29, 2018 by Leave a Comment

The company behind the infamous Wubble Bubble Ball has come out with two new, must-have toys – Wubble Fulla Slime and Wubble Fulla Marbles. Each is available in three different sizes which means you can have hours of fun for the whole family!

Wubble Fulla Balls come ready to play with right out of the package - no blowing up or filling required!

Wubble Fulla Huge are 5 inches, the Bigs are 4 inches, and the Tiny ones are just 2 ½ inches so whichever size you prefer, there’s an option for you. Whether you prefer large and heavy, more easily tossed back and forth, or hold-in-your-hand small, Wubble Fulla has you covered. These come ready-to-go unlike previous Wubbles – open the box and pop them out and play away.

You will be able to find Wubble Fulla toys whereever Wubble balls are sold, on the official Wubble website, Target, and other retailers. My kids love the Wubble Fulla Marble Tiny to hold in their hands and play with during read-aloud or homework time. I think the texture is soothing to them and I appreciate that it’s so much quieter and less annoying than a fidget spinner. In the Wubble Fulla Slime they much prefer the Huge because of it’s heavy ooey-gooey-ness.

Wubble Full Huge is a very large size that is super fun for kids to play with.

But be sure you get enough for all your kids though or you will have a fight on your hands. Guaranteed! But any time I can find a ball that will give my kids so much enjoyment I am happy to do so. I love seeing them spend time together and having fun with active play instead of spending time in front of a screen. Your kids will find the same enjoyment with their Wubbles too.

I was sent Wubble Fulla balls to review but all opinions and kid-fights-over-who-gets-which-Wubble are entirely my own.

WIN Salonpas® Lidocaine Plus Pain Relieving Cream and Liquid

February 9, 2018 by 74 Comments

Have you heard of the new, cost-effective solution for pain management? This new, over the counter treatment awaits aching sufferers with the introduction of the Salonpas® Lidocaine Plus Pain Relieving Cream and the Salonpas® Lidocaine Plus Pain Relieving Liquid.

 

“Hisamitsu’s goal is to provide strong, safe, long-lasting pain relief through the use of affordable topical medicines,” says John Incledon, President  & CEO, Hisamitsu America based in Florham Park, New Jersey.  “We do this by concentrating and specializing in creating new research-driven medicinal products and formulations based on topical drug delivery systems. We developed the Salonpas® Lidocaine Plus Pain Relieving Cream and theLidocaine Plus Pain Relieving Liquid with two powerful anesthetics: 4% lidocaine which is the maximum strength lidocaine allowable without a prescription and 10% benzyl alcohol which is fast-acting.”

“Hisamitsu, the manufacturer of the Salonpas products, sent over samples of the new unscented Salonpas® Lidocaine Plus cream and liquid productsthat are now available in retail outlets,” said Dr. Bob Arnot, award-winning broadcast journalist, author and paddleboard champion.   “I like that I can easily apply Lidocaine Plus Pain Relieving Liquid, with its roller ball applicator, after a paddleboard session without any sticky feeling.  The Lidocaine Plus Pain Relieving Cream helps address my ‘tennis elbow’ and general pain management issues.  Both products include the maximum strength lidocaine available without a prescription along with Benzyl Alcohol which works quickly to desensitize aggravated nerves.”

 

“Lidocaine is a highly effective pain reliever with unique non-narcotic and non-addictive properties that make it a safer alternative to the range of systemic pain options, which can have serious side effects,” adds Dr. Arnot.  “Prescription lidocaine patches are only indicated for post herpetic neuralgia, also called shingles pain and is classified as an orphan drug.  Studies have shown that a high number of lidocaine prescriptions were used for conditions other than post herpetic neuralgia. Medicare and many insurance companies are no longer providing coverage for off-label use of lidocaine so the availability of affordable OTC lidocaine products is very positive for pain sufferers.”

Hisamitsu America is the US division of Hisamitsu Pharmaceutical Co., Inc., founded in 1847, which has specialized in patch technology since the introduction of its Salonpas line of patches in 1934. Salonpas®, which gained early acceptance in Japan and now sells in over 50 countries, has pioneered the development of topical patches to relieve everyday aches and pains. Today, the Salonpas® Pain Relief Patch is the first and only FDA-approved OTC pain patch.

One of you can win these to try out yourselves- just leave a comment in the below RC form if you’d like to enter. Good luck! Ends Feb. 23, 2018.

You can see where you stand after competing against your peers and rising to the challenge. I am for sure going to give it a try! For the little ones there is a whole section of kids activities to enjoy so everyone can get involved in the games.

There is plenty to see and hear with piping competitions, drums, dancing, and at night the Greyfriar’s Pub for live entertainment and a few cold pints. The athletic displays are more than just those involving pitchforks and sledgehammers. The dancers are there to compete as well with the Highland Fling, the Sword Dance, and the Scottish Lilt.

Food and other venders fill the rows of the Scottish Market offering traditional wares and tasty treats for visitors. You can take home your very own kilt or other authentic garb so when you come back again next year you are ready to rock it. Find out more at the Queen Mary site – Queenmary.com or on Social Media – Facebook – Twitter – Instagram

So one more time – Enter here to win 4 General Admission Tickets for Saturday February 17th to the Queen Mary’s ScotsFestival in Long Beach California. Be sure you are close enough to travel to the Queen Mary before you enter!  Giveaway ends February 13th.

Really Tall Man? Try TallOrder.com (And Enter to WIN! )

January 24, 2018 by 74 Comments

 

Got a really tall guy on your shopping list? TallOrder.com isan online fashion brand that caters to the big and tall market, provides socks for men with big feet, shoe sizes 12-20. It’s a category that has been severely underserviced – until now. Family, friends and significant others with tall men in their lives can gift them with an accessory that helps them express their personal style.

 These socks are soft and comfortable to wear, as well. Long enough to cover as much as you would want to, and fun themes and patterns to choose from. A portion of your purchases will also go to “Tuesday’s Children”, a nonprofit organization that helps children after traumatic events.

A little bit about the founders;

“Standing at 6’11” and 6’9”, twin entrepreneurs from Long Island, Mike and Dan Friedman, have been reaching new heights all their lives. Growing up, the brothers stood out for their size and were commonly referred to as the “Twin Towers.” Sadly, this nickname would take on a much different meaning when they were 11 years old and lost their father, Andrew Friedman, in the World Trade Center attacks.

The Friedmans were overwhelmed by the unwavering support and kindness they received from their community and several amazing charities, including “Tuesday’s Children,” an organization that played a vital role in their lives after 9/11 and supports youth, families, and communities impacted by terrorism and traumatic loss. While caring for the families of nearly 3,000 victims of 9/11 was truly a “Tall Order,” people went out of their way to show The Friedmans their love and generosity.

In this spirit and by recognizing a niche in the men’s market, Mike and Dan created TallOrder.com to offer their fellow “Tall-Stars” stylish socks for large-sized feet, while also giving back to “Tuesday’s Children,” an organization that has deeply impacted their lives. Ten percent of TallOrder.com’s profits will be donated to “Tuesday’s Children.”

You can view the entire collection here.

Customers who purchase Tall Order socks are also giving back – proceeds from TallOrder.com are donated to Tuesday’s Children, a nonprofit that offered support to co-founders Mike and Dan Friedman after losing their father on 9/11.

You can also enter to win here- feel free to enter using the RC form below.  Ends Feb. 8, 2018. Good luck.

Win Tickets to The Liberty Science Center #LSCStarShow

January 10, 2018 by 1 Comment

 

The Liberty Science Center in nearby Jersey City, NJ has a ton to do for kids and families. They recently opened the Largest Planetarium in the Western Hemisphere- not too shabby, ay?

 

“Its diameter is almost twice as long as a bowling alley lane. Its screen is taller than four giraffes. It offers a true 8K projection. Its lights produce trillions of colors. And it will provide breaking space and astronomy news and discoveries in real time.

It is Liberty Science Center’s greatest experience yet–the largest and most technologically advanced planetarium in the entire Western Hemisphere. The only three that are bigger are in Beijing, China, and Nagoya and Niihama, Japan.”

Liberty Science Center, the largest interactive science center in the NY-NJ metropolitan area, officially opened the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium on December 9, 2017.

The kids had an amazing time watching the live show in the domed theater. The seats we were in were pretty high up, but you can choose seats closer to the ground should you want to. The speaker used a laser pointer to show different stars and constellations in the sky, and made the sun rise and set as you watched in just a few seconds. He was also able to zoom in and out of very specific locations- one of which being the science center itself. You and your kids can see the stars at different times of the year as the speaker zooms around and gives explanations of each constellation.

“You can fit any other planetarium in the Western Hemisphere inside the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium,” said Hoffman. “Add in the state-of-the-art technology and you have a spectacular unique theater like none other in the world. Visitors will be able to fly through the universe, experience the grandness and vastness of space, roam planetary surfaces, navigate asteroid fields, and watch the latest full-dome movies.”

 

Other unique features of the Jennifer Chalsty Planetarium include:

• A dome that has a diameter of 27 meters, or about 89 feet. That means if you made a straight line from one end of the dome to the other, it would be 1.5 times the length of a bowling alley lane.
• From the bottom of the theater to the top of the dome screen is 60 feet, the same height as 4 giraffes.
• 588 perforated aluminum panels are seamlessly joined together to form the domed screen with a surface area of 1,145 square meters, or 12,345 square feet. That’s a nice size four-bedroom, two-bathroom home in terms of area.
• The 10-projector system features an 8K resolution of 88 million pixels.
• The sophisticated software allows for downloads of the latest animations and images from NASA to keep up with breaking science news.
• The lighting system can produce over 281 trillion individual colors, which can allow the planetarium dome to look like the blue Earth daytime sky, the red sky of Mars, or a rapidly changing pattern to enhance laser shows. A human can see about 10 million colors, while a computer screen displays about 16.8 million colors for a “full-color” image.
• In addition to out-of-this-world planetarium experiences, guests will also enjoy immersive 8K films on the wraparound dome screen courtesy of a brand new digital projection system.

Find out more info here.

 

Also available is the new rotating exhibition, Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience.

“In this interactive, immersive exhibition based on one of the world’s most popular sci-fi series, you’ll step into the shoes of a newly minted cadet in the 26th century. As you travel through nine different zones, you’ll receive the necessary science, engineering, medical, and command training to navigate your way from orientation through graduation.

Both Trekkies and non-Trekkies will be engaged by the science behind the science fiction. Learn how Star Trek paved the way for many of today’s cutting-edge technologies—such as a functional tricorder, NASA’s warp drive theory, and experiments involving phasers and teleporters—and even get a glimpse into the future of Star Trek science.”

Star Trek: The Starfleet Academy Experience will be at LSC through May 28, 2018.
