Tollytots My First Disney Princess and HUGE PRIZE PACK Review and Giveaway #GiftGuide @Tollytots

December 3, 2012 by 81 Comments

This is a co-review by Samantha and Danielle. Danielle reviewed the Disney doll, and Samantha reviewed the toys she saw at Tollytot’s Playdate in the city, which some of you may remember from previous posts. Thank you, and please feel free to enter this fantastic giveaway 🙂

With an 8 month old and a 2 year old, I definitely need some tools under my sleeve to help them put themselves to sleep. Luckily, both of my girls are pretty good at putting themselves to sleep! Ava has just recently learned this skill, and I can definitely say that My first Disney Princess Lights & Lullaby Bedtime Baby Aurora has made Ava’s job much easier.

About Lights & Lullaby Bedtime Baby Aurora

Naptime is a dream with this Lights and Lullaby Bedtime Baby Aurora doll. Made for hugging, this charming 12-inch doll has a soft, snuggly body that will soothe and comfort your little sleepyhead with a gently glowing light and magical music. Choose normal mode for lights and music or night-light mode for a soft light that automatically turns off after three minutes.

Normal Mode: You push the tummy once to activate lights, again to activate music, again to turn lights and music off. The doll will automatically enter sleep mode once music has looped four times.

Night Light Mode: Push the doll’s tummy to activate soft light, (the light will not change colors in night light mode). The light will remain on for 5 minutes, then light will turn off and doll will enter sleep mode. If you want to turn light off sooner, press doll’s tummy once.

My Thoughts:

This is definitely the go to doll for your younger children. Both of my daughters were huge fans of it, but I did intend for this doll to be more for the baby than for my older daughter.

Ava & Ella both greatly enjoy playing with baby. Ella is always playing with a baby, so Ava is very happy to have her own baby to play with. She also has quickly become attached the baby and likes to drag her along wherever we might be going.

I love how we can pick and choose which mode we want. We use one mode at nap time and one mode at bedtime to help her to better know which time it really is.

I think that this would be a great doll for any young girl you have on your list, I’m sure that they would love [Read more…]

Veggietales Ultimate Christmas Collection Review and Give It Away @VeggieTales

November 30, 2012 by 32 Comments

When you think of Christmas, I’m pretty sure the last thing you think of is a pile of wholesome vegetables. And that is the way it should be honest, but I ask you for a short time to think of vegetables at this time of year, especially those delivering a message. The Veggietales have released a “Veggie Christmas Marathon” in the form of six holiday movies and one CD packed with 25 songs. This collection is Veggietales’ “The Ultimate Christmas Collection”. This collection is full of fun from the “It’s a Wonderful Life” inspired tale, “It’s a Meaningful Life” to the A Christmas Carol inspired “The Star of Christmas”.

Win Body Rolling #Yamuna #Health @yamunabody #Yoga

November 29, 2012 by 18 Comments

Today we are featuring Body Rolling. Body Rolling is a technique taught by Yamuna, where you yourself are the therapist and your tool to help you work your body into alignment is a ball. The ball provides traction, movement and release. Body rolling is a form of therepy which follows the techniques of Yamuna Body Logic.

Yamuna Body Logic is a way of aligning your muscles and skeletal system in such way where pain is relieved and stress dissolves. The interesting part of this is there is an emphasis on self-reliance. That is after a few initial visits you are taught how to align yourself. This is of course after an expert has properly diagnosed and assessed your body. Body Logic can improve posture, increase range of motion, align all the parts of the body, increase muscle tone, increase flexibility, and improve organ functions.

“Yamuna Body Logic creates space between muscle and bone, allowing the body’s perfect circuitry to fire in logical and correct order. This, in turn, [Read more…]

Oransi Ionic Fridge Air Purifier & Robby Laundry Ball Review & Giveaway

November 27, 2012 by 4 Comments

Ionic Fridge Air Purifier by Oransi Do you hate the nasty smell that you sometimes get in your fridge? Do you get tired of changing your box of baking soda all the time and that not really helping either? Well, I definitely have a solution for you! I was lucky enough to be able to review the Ionic Fridge Air Purifier by Orasni. Air Purifier Features

  • No replacement features, just 2 batteries to make it run
  • Silent
  • Effective at removing odors and bacteria.
  • Small and compact to fit anywhere in your refrigerator
  • Easy to run
  • Approx. Operating Cost: $1/month

My Thoughts:

I was impressed at how it silently cleans the air in my refrigerator. It also really does remove all the food odors and bacteria, to help keep my fridge smelling fresh and clean. I was also a big fan of the fact that it is very small, smaller than a can of pop. It only takes two AA batteries to run. It also has a cycle, to help make sure that you are not wearing down your batteries. They said that you need to replace your batteries about every 90 days. I haven’t had to replace them as of yet, so I can’t vouch for sure on that fact.

Purchase:

If you are interested in purchasing the Ionic Fridge Air Purifier, you can from their website for $29 (regularly $39) Oransi Robby Wash Laundry Ball Review Do you dread doing laundry? It is one of those things that used to not bother me, but now with 3 more people to do it for, it really is tedious, and one of my least favorite activities. I was asked to review the Robby Wash Ball, and I was very happy to give it a try.
