$100 Amazon Gift Card Giveaway sponsored by KartMe

I was excited to be contacted by a cool company called KartMe!

KartMe helps you save everything in online lists called "karts", that you can keep in one spot. You'll no longer need to cut'n'paste, email yourself, or keep notepad files!

Thi
s is great for my family and I! We've found this to be very helpful and fun!

More about KartMe...



Members use KartMe
to share their recipes, kids toy wishlists, crafts projects, DVD collections, home design files, travel tips, reading lists, anything you'd ever want to put in a list. Karts can be shared with friends and family or kept private.

Unlike other online organizers, KartMe helps you take action. Technology automatically seeks out deals, puts maps on your phone, helps you debate with friends, and suggests new lists.
Your husband, grandparents, and friends can follow your Karts--so they'll see what you're adding. You can collect on any website with a click of th
e "Klipper". KartMe's technology automatically grabs links, pictures, maps and more.

Over 12,000 favorites have been Kart'd in 2,000 lists since it opened to the public in late 2009. KartMe Won a "Staff Pick" from Apple for the app, available at http://itunes.com/apps/kartme and the site for Droid & BlackBerry users at http://m.kartme.com. Th
e mobile app instantly accesses what you've kart'd online, so you can bring a look to the hairdresser or store.

KartMe has been featured in The Washington Post, Smashing Apps and TechRadar, to name a few. KartMe was started as a personal organizer so
that Phil could stop emailing himself, putting links in notepad docs, and losing bookmarks.

Here's a couple neat karts to check out...

Miraclesuit Review and Giveaway...

Thanks to Miraclesuit I got to review one of their swimsuits! I got the Miraclesuit Solid Sideswipe Swimsuit in black! I not only LOVE this swimsuit but I LOVE this company! I talked to them and had my swimsuit the NEXT day! This swimsuit is awesome! It gives me great support and is modest! I have been looking for a swimsuit I can wear to the pool. I wanted something I can wear around my boys and not be hanging out of it and this is perfect! It also is very slimming! Thank You so much Miraclesuit for the great products!

Miraclesuit offers a perfect solution to the swimsuit dilemma, providing maximum all-over control knit right into the fabric itself, and fashionable designs that draw attention to the right places.

The magic of the Miraclesuit® begins with Miratex®, a proprietary blend of fabric that delivers three times the holding power of ordinary swimsuits, without relying on inner linings and constrictive control panels to shape and trim. You get maximum control, without sacrificing comfort - triple the holding power - without the feel of a girdle.

Miratex®, was developed after years of research. The silky texture feels soft and luxurious to the touch - something very unusual in a control garment. The high percentage of Lycra Spandex means that Miraclesuits keep their shape - and yours - without stretching or sagging.

Because the fabric boasts a 4-way knit, it moves with you, and provides support in all directions. Instead of the "sausage effect" of being squeezed in the middle, as will happen with 2-way stretch garments, you get balanced control in all directions -- which is why, wearing a Miraclesuit® bathing suit, you'll look 10 lbs lighter in 10 seconds - the time it takes to slip one on.


  • Minimize Waist
  • Slenderize Hips
  • Support a Full Bust
  • Low Scoop Back
  • Underwire Bra
  • Moderate Leg Cut
  • Square Neckline

Simple, Slenderizing and Sensational - That describes the Miraclesuit Solid Sideswipe swimsuit. This classy and comfortable Miraclesuit swimsuit offers wide straps, a square neckline and hidden underwire bra to shape your figure. Miraclesuit's patented Miratex swimwear fabric slenderizes your figure, while a silky overlay gathers at one side to provide beautiful waistline definition.

Now here's the really exciting part...

Thanks to Miraclesuit I get to give away a Miraclesuit Solid Sideswipe Swimsuit to a lucky winner!

Scentsy Review and Giveaway...

Thanks to Lani with Scentsy I got to review the Basketball Full Court Warmer! It's a BIG hit here at my house with all boys! My boys love and play basketball so of course this is the one we picked! They also have some other cool sports warmers you can see below. Perfect for Father's Day, or anytime! I also got some Scentsy bars and love those too! They sure make my house smell yummy :) Go visit Lani and check out all the cool products! She is awesome to work with and makes sure you get your items safe and fast!


How the Scentsy Warmer Works... How Scentsy Works
There's no wax evaporation, burning and ZERO carbon emission so it's perfect for people with allergies or sensitive lungs. The Scentsy Candle Warmers only warms the wax. The wax is not burned like the traditional flame-based candle. The warmer melts the wax a very low temperature using a 25 watt bulb (included with each warmer).
Company Profile
Founded : 2004
Mission Statement
To bring value to the world by providing an industry leading, family-friendly business opportunity selling creative, artistic, high-quality products that warm the heart, enliven the senses, and inspire the soul.
Scentsy Story
Scentsy “Makes Perfect Scents”. They are pioneering the move away from the smoky, sooty candles of today to safe, healthy, fun and creative ways to bring the scents that make us happy into our lives. They offer over 80 high quality fragrances delivered in a variety of ways. Their flagship product is the Authentic
Scentsy Bar, an impressively fragrant wickless candle bar that is warmed in a warmer rather than burned with a flame.

Each year thousands of homes are damaged or destroyed by burning candles. The enthusiastic response they receive from their customers, consultants, and more particularly fire-fighters, reflects the nationwide concern over the devastation burning candles can cause. This was their initial motivation – to create a safe alternative to burning candles. Their passion has grown from offering a safe alternative to offering a better alternative. Going wickless has allowed them to offer the public a better, more cost effective method of scenting their world.
A secret combination of ingredients is used to create a pool of melted wax, which is transformed into a wickless candle bar. Only the finest scented oils are hand-picked to give an array of aromas. The melted wax is poured into reusable containers for easy storage.
The wax is poured in an assortment of containers, giving the consultants party testers, basket testers and of course, Scentsy Bars to share with their customers. Room sprays and car candles are also produced in the warehouse.
Scentsy hand packs each order, ensuring the correct items come right to your door in a timely manner. By using UPS, your order can be tracked the moment it leaves the warehouse. Orders are typically shipped directly to the hostess, or can be shipped direct for a minimal cost.
Their hand-picked staff adds a little bit of Scentsy Spirit into each hand-packed box.
Scentsy believes that every employee, consultant, hostess and customer are part of the Scentsy Family.

Authentic Scentsy Candle Bars melt in your plug in candle holder releasing the fragrance without using a flame. This wonderful way to enjoy an aroma filled home is a clean, safe and convenient way to use a candle.

Sports Collection

Full Court Scentsy Warmer

Game Day Scentsy Warmer

Lani with Scentsy I get to give one lucky winner your choice of a warmer and 3 Scentsy bars!

just in time for Father's Day we got to review their WORK WG112 Grass Trimmer! This dual line trimmer does a wonderful job on our yard! It's great how it's adjustable for all that use it.

The auxiliary handle and telescoping shaft adjust to the user's preference, and it's easy to convert this trimmer to an edger -- all you have to do is flip the head and turn the handle and you're ready to tackle a sidewalk, driveway, or patio's edge. It has a foldable spacer guard that helps protect flowers and ornaments along with a 100 percent automatic twin line feed.
