Scooter With A Twist – Whiplash by Street Surfing #giveaway

November 13, 2009 By 362 Comments

 

image002 Have the style of Street Surfing with the handle of a scooter. I feel much safer with this scooter over the skateboard but my children are only 2 and 3. So their products reach out to different age groups. 

 

Street Surfing sent me a skateboard about five months ago. i used my blog to give it away and it is being enjoyed.

The winner of the giveaway sent me some photos of her husband playing with it. Hopefully she doesn’t mind them being posted here.

I mean the picture to the left is just asking to be posted right?

The Original Wave Startup Set

I hate doing cookie cutter posts but today I have to. I have no idea, well, I have some idea because I have seen the wave; but I really don’t have experience with the Whiplash and I don’t want to infer that I do. I can tell you, I’m sure you’ll have fun and you should take safety precautions and wear a helmet.

But here is a Product Description of Whiplash.  

 

Whiplash

Talk about turning heads. Street Surfing is introducing Whiplash™, The Scooter with a twist. This self-propelling, revolutionary new ride is part scooter, part Wave® (caster board) and totally  fun.

Whiplash’s™ extra wide skate inspired deck, available in black with red grip tape, is made of a webbed design carbon reinforced composite material that is supported by an extra long lightweight handlebar. The folding handle provides for easy travel and storage. Whiplash™ has a traditional 97 mm front wheel while the rear caster wheel that zips along on ABEC 7 bearings.

Molly Brown Designer Girls Jewelry

November 13, 2009 By 4 Comments

Molly Brown London makes designer Girls Jewellery. But my spell checker says that it should be Girls Jewelry.  I wonder if the spelling really matters as long as they are selling jewelry right?

 

 

 

Molly Brown sells Bracelets and Bangles, Necklaces, Charms, Earrings and has a special Christmas section.

Red Enamel Heart

This heart necklace is pretty cute in my opinion. It is in their Christmas 2009 section but looks to me like it would be a great inclusion for Valentine’s Day too. You know, as far as Holidays go we start in October with Halloween, then jump to Christmas while trying to squeeze in Thanksgiving in there somewhere.

As soon as Christmas is over, New Years eve overwhelms us and then we look at our waistline and send our husband’s mixed messages about what to give us for Valentine’s Day. The Mr. in your life can’t go wrong with a box of chocolate right, but our figures might be much happier with a piece of jewelry.

This is a European store which is why the spelling is funny to me. I love a nice English accent so I am quite spoiled by my MOMS Club because we have members from Canada, England, and Ireland. So I get to here quite a variety of culture.

Just in case you don’t know what a bangle is I wanted to show you.

A Bangle is Peppermint Aurora Bangle

 

a solid band. This must be another European term. I should ask one of the MOMS in my club. I would be so lost in the world without them.

Burlington Coat Factory has Winter Coats but is so much more #giveaway

November 12, 2009 By 1,033 Comments

Burlington Coat FactoryMy sister’s first job was working for Burlington Coat Factory and she was shocked to learn that you can purchase more than just coats. They have a very nice baby section that she looked at a lot while I was busy giving birth. ;-) , My two kids are only 12 months apart. But since it is winter time and they are The Coat Factory, let’s check out some coats.

Burlington Coat Factory has clothing and accessories for the whole family from infants to moms and everyone in between. They inspire fall fashion on a budget stories and or Holiday gift guides I remember getting a coat one year. I was so happy. Weird huh, a lot of people don’t like getting functional gifts for Christmas. I do, it kept me warm and I thought I was the stuff with my black leather jacket.. They have coats for everyone in the family under $100, men’s and women’s business attire under $150 and boots for women under $50.

What is your style?

I love the boots. I’m a boot girl, that is one of the best things about living in the Pacific Northwest. I can wear boots from September to June.

About Burlington:

The roots of Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation (the "Company") go back to 1924 with wholesale sales of ladies coats and junior suits. In 1972, the Company opened its first outlet store in Burlington, New Jersey. Coats were the primary offering at the original Burlington Coat Factory, but over time the concept evolved into a one-stop shopping experience. Extensive selections of men’s and women’s suits, sportswear, shoes, and accessories developed. Highly successful baby and youth departments were created. A linens department was added in 1987

 

Burlington is offering one of my readers a 50.00 Girt Card.

To Enter:

Visit Burlington Coat Factory and tell me what you would purchase with your 50.00. Would you use it to bargain shop or on a new coat?

Fit 2 B Mom Go Pink Active Kit for your health and fitness #giveaway

November 12, 2009 By 40 Comments

fit2BmomFit 2 B Mom is a company that is actually concerned about moms and their health. They want to encourage healthy eating and good exercise before, during and after being pregnant but most importantly they are interested in your health while being pregnant. They make clothing for pregnancy that is comfortable enough to be active in. Their active wear is made out of Lycra and Supplex and as far as I know that creates a very stretchy material. I like stretchy.

I think there are a lot of rumors that it is not safe to exercise and that you should take it easy and eat for two. Well, after being pregnant and putting on over 50 lbs with the first one I can tell you you do not have to eat like you are eating for two but your body is going to act like it’s that hungry. I chose the wrong foods and am still struggling with my weight loss.

 

There is always a balance even when you are pregnant. If you eat healthy and take care of your body you will be providing your baby with the perfect balance of nutrition and health. When you blood is pumping strongly then you’ll be nourishing the baby with every beat.

Fit2BMom includes even more support than just a sizing chart for their maternity clothing.. On-line they have a blog where you can learn more tidbits about excising while being pregnant.

And husbands, buying clothing, even maternity clothing for your wives is ok! You have a great Christmas Idea here.

 

 

Go Pink Kit

To Enter:

Fit2BMom contacted me and asked me to work with them on my site. They don’t just want to do a standard giveaway though, they want to get to know each of you. So to enter, just tell us your exercise story, or you plan when you are pregnant or if you are pregnant what have you been doing. Have you done it before and know something that works give us your advice. Or give us your worst I mean best excuse. Why aren’t you exercising? Whoever has the best story according to Fit2BeMom will win a Go Pink Active Kit valued at 52.00.

Tweeting about the giveaway and or adding it to your facebook account also counts after you have told us your story. Enter daily.

Ready Go Baby Puke Purse, Handie Hankies and Bamboobs #giveaway

November 11, 2009 By 88 Comments

ready go baby rgbReady Go Baby is another company that made a donation and sent me a review item. The set of both items is pictured below.

IMG_3219

The puke purse is the frog and is for me to keep because it is the feature item of this post. You know me though, I’m still going to donate it. The puke purse is a great idea. It’s one that helps save the environment. You use it to pick up messes and then you wash them. Insert you hand into the bag and pick it up, turn it inside out and then you can throw the debris away and use it again. Saves on plastic bags.

Ready Go baby makes soft 100 percent cotton products. They are easy to wash and based in Canada. Their nursing pads are organic being made partially out of bamboo cotton.

A Jessica Steele Apron was donated to the gift basket cause

November 11, 2009 By 3 Comments

IMG_3212I never thought of actually wearing an apron as a hostess until I saw the Jessica Steele Apron that was sent to me to review and giveaway.  This donation was added to the MOMS Club Gift Basket. I wish they offered a giveaway to go with it because boy what a Thanksgiving treat this would be to some wonderful mom in the kitchen.

 

Jessie Steele introduces the

"Black Lace" Bib Sophia, A chic classic look for Fall Entertaining”

 

IMG_3211

It is very light weight and attractive. The cut just curves around the body very well. So sorry that I didn’t have the nerve to take a photo of myself. Actually, I just now thought of it and I’m too lazy too, it’s already folder up neatly in the donation pile. But I am going to be bidding on the Gift Basket. I think a lot of moms will. Yes, I would love to have a vintage apron.

 

http://www.jessiesteele.com/photos/601-JS-55_Leopard_PotMitt.jpg

 

 

What is even cooler is that you can get all decked out with matching pots and pan holders and oven mitts. I’m just loving it. The vintage style makes wearing aprons make sense. I mean, why wear one unless you are frying up some chicken, these you want to wear when you’re not going to get dirty. (well, you can because all you have to do is throw them in the wash)

Thermos stands behind their product, Foogo Children’s Cup’s Review and #giveaway

November 11, 2009 By 134 Comments

IMG_3231

Thermos sent us some cups to review. One we are donating to the MOMS Club gift basket. The other we are using in our review.

Thermos makes great products that you can trust. One of the moms I know had one of these cups. She was unhappy with it because it became moldy even though it says that it won’t. So she called them up and complained and they replaced it with no trouble. This is a company that stands behind their product.

Product Description:

image Thermos® Foogo ® Phases™ stainless steel drinkware features interchangeable parts that fit all other Phases cups including Tritan™ plastic models. With interchangeable parts, Phases drinkware easily adapts to a child’s changing needs. Thermax® vacuum insulation technology keeps drinks cold and fresh for up to 10 hours. Foogo Phases grows with your child while promoting an active and healthy lifestyle on-the-go.

Thermos Foogo Phases Stainless Steel Drinkware Interchangeable Lid System Overview
• 7 oz. and 10 oz. stainless steel beverage bodies
• TherMax® vacuum insulation keeps drinks cold and fresh up to 6-10 hours depending on model
• Easy to clean design, and dishwasher safe
• The full Foogo Phases line offers 4 drink cups, 3 interchangeable lid options and removable handles to provide up to 24 possible drinkware combinations
• Suggested Retail: $15.99

My Description:

foogo Luckily the mom I know has the final stage in the Foogo Phases so I have seen them all. The first one is for 6+ months. The spout is soft and encourages learning to drink. The handles on the side make the cup easier to hold for hands that are still learning how to drink. It is easy on baby’s gums.

The second sippy cup is for 12 months plus. The tip isn’t as soft but it is still rubberish. It is stronger for babies that have teeth. As the baby grows so does their thirst so it is also larger in capacity.

The final size is the one that my friend had and had replaced. She still likes it enough because they use it all the time. It doesn’t leak and it has a straw. It is for 18 plus months and is hygienic. The straw is easy to sip from and opens at the touch of a nifty easy to push button.

The key feature of my family is that even though it is stainless steel it is still dishwasher safe. You have got to love that.
