August 14, 2017 by Leave a Comment

My son takes both vitamins and probiotics every morning. I want to make sure his daily needs are met, and I feel that they help him stay healthy, to stave off illness, and improve his overall well being. we recently had the opportunity to try Coral LLC Gummies—he liked both the flavor and texture right off the bat.

            They are available in two varieties: Organic Hawaiian Red Turmeric Gummies for adults, and Natural Calcium Gummies for kids. We only tried the child version, but he liked them (and I tried them as well, they have a “fruit punch” type flavor, and a heavier or thicker gumminess (yeah, maybe not a “real” word, but accurate) then, for instance, a gummy bear type treat.

No resistance to them. I liked the flavor and texture as well- I can’t see kids giving any issue taking them.  They have different supplements in them then some other vitamins, so check them out to see if they might be what you are looking for in your/your child’s diet(s).

Helpful renting tips

Before booking your trip anywhere in the country, there are some important things you need to consider first that will make your travel easier to these luxury self catering rentals.

Top Women’s Fashion Trends For Fall

August 11, 2017 by Leave a Comment

When you’re a busy mom, you probably don’t have time to scour the pages of Vogue for the latest trends, and even if you do, they might not necessarily be realistic for your life.

With that being said, it is fun to feel like you’re on-trend at least some of the time as a mom, so below is a brief rundown of the top fashion trends for fall 2017. They’re some of the trends that will actually work for real women’s lifestyles, rather than the ones that look like they’re exclusively reserved for the catwalk.

Statement Glasses

A lot of us moms need glasses for one reason another, whether it’s for working on our computers long hours, or just for general vision correction.

Regardless of why you need them, let them be your must-have fall accessory. Shop retailers like Glasses Gallery to find some of the best trends that will completely change even the simplest of outfits. Some of our favorite trends right now include round frames, tortoise shell patterns, and unisex glasses.

Bright-Colored Faux Fur

Most of us probably aren’t heading to school pickup wearing real fur, both out of principle and because of the price, but luckily there are some great faux fur options that are budget-friendly and lots of fun to experiment with as the weather cools.

This season, go for bold colors such as bright greens and pinks. A fur vest is always fun to add to an outfit, particularly if you want to infuse some color.

Cold-Weather Florals

When we think of floral patterns we probably generally think of wearing them in the warmer weather months, but new trends are introducing them in cold-weather friendly options. Bright and large-print florals are particularly popular on sheer blouses and on top of dark colors like black.

Denim on Denim

Did you think we’d come back to a point where denim-on-denim was such a trend? But, here we are, and it is.

Denim on denim was seen on many runways for Fall 2017, and it’s great for moms because you can go casual, simple, and of course, denim is durable and can stand up to a busy life. If you’re not sure you’re comfortable with denim-on-denim you can always do a nice denim button-up shirt with a pair of fun-colored pants for fall.

Joggers

There might be no trend that moms who value comfort and functionality will like quite as much as this one: joggers. Joggers are somewhat of a European-inspired pant trend, and it refers to pants with a looser and more relaxed fit, along with a cinched ankle and often a drawstring waist. Joggers are cute and chic, but also comfortable and versatile, so what more can you ask for?

Pair them with some of the season’s trendiest sneakers, and you’re ready for whatever your day might throw at you.

Finally, we love slip-on mules right now as well. They’re the perfect shoe for fall weather, you can slip them on in a hurry, and they work well in casual or dressier situations.

It easily seals up after filling.  When it is thrown, it hits your target with a splash and can be refilled again and again for loads of fun. No knots required.

We have found the Water Wubble is easy to fill in the pool, at the beach and the hose all just the same.   These are a lot of fun, and who doesn’t love a water fight in the heat of the summer?  The coolest part of the Water Wubble is its re-usability.  Each Wubble can be filled hundreds of times and seal up easily and can be used again and again.

Looking to make a mess? We’ve got you covered. Compound Kings is all about the Slime- and I’ve got to say, there is something oddly satisfying about it. (Ages 4 and up)

Compound Kings™ Fluffy – Squishy like slime, but with a little poof, this fluffy stuff comes ready to be used and in a wide array of bright colors. It’s crazy stretchy . Prefer to make it? Get the powder version! All you need to do is add water and you will get a slime that is ready in just a few minutes. The container it comes in doubles as storage, so there isn’t a mess afterwards. Don’t leave it out, that gets all sorts of ew. You can also get a DIY kit that has 13 different packs of powder and “make your own color” compound. You can even do glitter, hey now- maybe they won’t want to tell their little sisters.  You can pick them up in single packs and 3 packs as well, and in all sorts of colors, including neon. Prices from $2.99 and up in stores like Michaels.

And for my fellow 80’s babies (and everyone else), this is more of a look ahead- but I’m excited. As you might remember from our Toy Fair shout outs, Teddy Ruxpin is soon to make a comeback, new and digitally remastered for the more technologically demanding child of today.  After his new hi-tech makeover (sorry, no more  cassette tapes in his back) and an LCD eyelift, he’s ready to go for the Fall season. I personally can’t wait, he was one of the most treasured toys of my childhood.

Coming at you from Wicked Cool Toys, who have been very into the “what’s old is new again” retro toys, Teddy Ruxpin will hit shelves in time for holidays (but I have to tell you I already saw them on Toys R Us and Walmart websites for $99 and $94, respectively).

Visit http://www.teddyruxpin.com/ to find out more and to get your hands on one. These are going to go fast, so if you want one, you are going to need to move fast.

The Best Areas In Your Home To Put A Smoke Alarm For The Best Safety

August 8, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Smoke alarms are an important part of monitoring the safety of your home. As many as two-thirds of all fire related deaths occur in homes without smoke detectors, or with smoke detectors that are not functioning due to improper maintenance. In order to reduce death and injury, you need to have enough smoke detectors throughout your house, and to make sure that they are installed properly.

Types Of Smoke Alarms

There are three primary types of smoke alarm: Ionization, photoelectric and combination.

  • Ionization Alarms – Ionization alarms contain small amount of radioactive material that creates an electric current within the alarm. When smoke enters the detector, it disrupts the current, causing the alarm to sound. These smoke detectors are best at detecting fast-burning fires.
  • Photoelectric Alarms – Detect smoke by using a light source. The light becomes scattered by smoke particles, activating the alarm. Photoelectric alarms are better for detecting slow-burning fires with low flames.
  • Combination Alarms – As the name suggests, combination alarms combine both technologies in order to detect both category of fire. Fire protection units recommend using combination alarms, or to install both types of alarms throughout your home.

Older models of smoke alarms are actually heat detectors. They are not as effective at rapidly detecting fires as the more modern alarm types.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors

With modern alarms you also have the option of getting a combination smoke and carbon monoxide detector. You should also have a carbon monoxide alarm on each floor of your home if you have any fuel-burning appliances. Purchasing a unit that is able to detect both can reduce the amount of total units you need to install throughout your home.

Alarm Placement

For optimal protection, you will need multiple smoke alarms. Most homes don’t have nearly as many smoke alarms installed as is recommended.

Smoke alarms should be installed:

  • On every floor of the home, including the basement
  • Inside each bedroom
  • Outside of each bedroom – one in the hall outside multiple bedrooms is alright

Be sure to read the manufacturer’s instructions on the unit that you purchase to determine whether the detector should be installed on the wall or on the ceiling. The most common units require ceiling installation with a few feet of space between the detector and the wall.

The instructions will also inform you how much square footage the alarm covers. If you purchase less powerful detectors you will need to install more of them throughout you home.

Connecting your fire alarms with an interconnected alarm system can also be important, especially for large homes. In an interconnected system, if the alarm sounds in the basement, the alarms by the second floor bedrooms will also sound, providing you with an early alert.

Alarm Maintenance

Smoke alarms may be powered differently and therefore require different maintenance. Testing on a weekly, or at least a monthly basis, can help to ensure that your alarms are functioning and will detect smoke in the case of a fire.

Alarms powered by 9-volt batteries are common due to their low cost. The downside to these alarms is that the batteries need to be replaced frequently. Weekly testing is recommended for optimal safety with these alarms, or to change the battery twice per year in combination with monthly testing.

You can also purchase alarms that take a 120-volt battery or a 10-year lithium battery. While these are more pricey, they are more reliable. Some townships require a minimum 120-volt battery.

If you are living in an older home, you will likely need to install more alarms, and may need to replace any existing ones. Check the existing models to see if they are heat detectors, rather than smoke detectors. If they are heat detectors – you should replace them with smoke detectors or install additional smoke detectors for optimal safety.

Conclusion

In order to protect yourself and loved ones from fire and carbon monoxide injury, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors need to be installed throughout your home. Do your research when selecting alarm units and be sure to purchase different types of detectors, or opt for a combination alarm. You should also make sure that the units you purchase have been tested by a recognized laboratory to ensure efficacy.

Install your alarms per the manufacturer’s instructions and make sure that you have enough throughout your home. With proper maintenance and battery monitoring, you will be as safe as possible in your home!

The top 3 Loans That Can Help You Eliminate Debt Fast

August 7, 2017 by Leave a Comment

Unpaid debts can be really stressful. If you don’t take care of it soon enough, it will catch up with you. Debt has become a part of today’s culture and comes in different forms for different reasons. Paying off debt, is perhaps, one of the most common personal goals among different people. And while some may think it is hard, it only requires some good strategy and enormous discipline to finally get out from it. Sites like MTP Loans provide loan choices for people who want to pay off their debt.

There are various types of loans that one can get to help pay off your debt, here are some of them:

  1. Personal Loan

Personal loans are one of the many loans you can borrow from the bank. It is an unsecured loan that can be paid on agreed terms. This can be used by the borrower for whatever purpose. If your credit ratings are good enough that you can borrow a money, this can be used as a debt consolidation loan. However, there maybe instances that you will be allowed to borrow a small amount, a big amount of higher interests, or not be approved at all due to bad credit score. Secure personal loans from a bank you trust and settle for payment rates that are doable for you. This will take the stress off your loans.

  1. Home Equity Loans

Home equity loan is taken out using your home’s equity as a collateral. To qualify, you need to have a good amount of equity in your home and a good credit score. Home equity loans have very low interest rates because of its secured nature. You can also borrow money big enough to pay off your other debts. However, many are cautioning against this to be used as a debt consolidation loan because of the risk involved. Once payment becomes too expensive and you are not able to pay it, your house will face foreclosure and lose it.

  1. Debt Consolidation Loans

In past years, the needs for bigger loans were so high that banks started to offer debt consolidation loans. This is offered for the purpose of combining your debts. There are many types of debt consolidation loans and you need to choose wisely what to pick. These types of loans have usually lower interest rates than what you pay monthly, but you need to set terms strategically. Low interests rates are achieved through extending the period of repayment.

 

There are many options to pay off debt, but you need to be smart and careful as to which you choose. Find terms that will not burden you anymore than being burdened with your current debts. As well, make sure to know the terms and conditions of each loan so as not to encounter any surprising problems that may arise from missing payments and other situations. Finally, stop accumulating more debt once you start eliminating them so as not to be buried with more debts in the future.

Clean with Mean Green in 2017

August 4, 2017 by Leave a Comment

There are quite a few items in the Mean Green family of cleaning products, all of which help make your home cleaner- more quickly and easily.  2017 is going to add a few more items to its already robust line of products.  These are Heavy Duty Super Strength Wipes, Auto and Garage Cleaner and Degreaser, and the Car Wash.  All work great in the garage, outdoors, and so many other messes (even your car).  The wipes are a favorite, being so “ready to go” and remove grease, grime, oil, adhesives, and other gross stuff with little effort.   They an be used all over the home, from the garage to the kitchen to the bathroom and beyond.  I would of course use a different wipe for each room…

Use by spraying down the walls and crevices after you shower, and keep mildew from growing in your bathroom. Bonus? No scrubbing required.

The Car Wash is made to work into a  rich foam that removes dirt and grime, cleaning the exterior of your car easily.  We tried out out the auto and garage cleaner and degreaser.  This cleaning product is made specifically to cut through tough messes that gets on your car, like petroleum based grease, grime, and oil.  It works on concrete, metal, tools, outdoor furniture, grills, and pretty much all outdoor surfaces you can think of as well.  The Auto and Garage Cleaner definitely cuts through the grease quickly and easily, making quick work of spilled oil or fluids from a leaky car, or from a home auto repair job.  This also works well at cleaning up that “fix it” corner of your garage where paint is sometimes used (and spilled), and to clean up adhesives, or fuels.  This would normally take a lone time to clean, or with some special hack or trick, but now all you need is one cleaner to tame your yard and garage.  Boom, hack that.

Easy to use, and effective, Mean Green works well on sinks, floors, bathtubs- and beyond. Better yet? The first time.

The entire Mean Green line are great cleaners and work great for their specific specialties.  I would highly suggest grabbing a few at your local retailer.
