$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!

This 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 the "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. The 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!

Grass Trimmer Review & $50 ATGStores.com Gift Card Giveaway...

Thanks to
ATGStores.com
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. We really like the wheels it has so you can use it as a edger also. This trimmer is well built and will serve our yard well for years to come! Thanks ATGStores.com for the awesome products!

The Worx 12-inch, 4.5 Amp electric dual line trimmer is fully adjustable to suit all users and body types. Truly designed for comfort, control, and versatility, this trimmer has a head that tilts to fit in tight spaces or cut a sloped landscape. 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.

• Volts: 120V-60Hz

When in Rome DVD Review & Giveaway...

An ambitious young New Yorker (Kristen Bell), disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of those who threw them in: a sausage magnate (Danny Devito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett) and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, how will she know if his love is the real thing?

I got to review this great DVD! I love romantic comedy's! Kristen Bell and Josh Duhamel have great chemistry together. This movie has some great actors in it. Beth (Kristen Bell) ends up having 4 guys all fall in love with her because she picks up their coins out of a fountain in Rome. Then when she falls for Nick (Josh Duhamel) she's not sure if he's the one, because she finds out he threw a coin in the fountain. Danny Devito is hilarious as one of the guys that fall in love with her. Each one of the guys that fall in love with her have really funny characters. I loved watching them follow her around and try to get her to fall in love with them. Another part I really thought was funny is when Beth is suppose to break the vase at the wedding and no matter how hard she tries it will not break.

The special features have music videos and deleted scenes. I love when movies have bloopers, they are hilarious.
