Bridge Lane boxed wine review

     Bridge Lane wine is  a small Long Island New York farm company that creates their wine in small batches in a 5 wine flavor, bottle, keg, box variety that will keep you wanting more. The box is 3L which is the equivalent of 3 wine bottles, just boxed for convenience.

     I was luck to receive my boxed with hints of strawberry and grapefruit through a discount that left me with only $10 to pay off a $40 box! I have shared a $10 off link generously through out my social media networks and I hope many people have enjoyed it =).

     I enjoy my wine chilled. This wine says to be dry but I didn't  really feel like I was drinking hot air and at 11.9% alcohol who really cares right ;). I paired it mostly with desserts as it is a dessert  wine (and tasted horizon with cheese and crackers) I would suggest cheese cake, strawberry  cheese cake, blueberry cheese cake, any sweet desert will definitely do the trick. There are 5 other flavors I am sure you will figure out which to try first =) .... Enjoy and drink responsibility  =)

Glad OdorShield® with Gain™ scented bags product review

     I recieved Glad OdorShield® with Gain™ scented bags from the Glad in exchange for an honest review after testing. 

     These Glad bags did come with a draw string and were considerably  strong. But what I liked most was the lack of smell left be find at the end of the day and the slight aroma of febreze near the can.

     If you are a Glad,Gain or Febreze lover, this is definitely the product to try! These garbage bags cancel and neutralize almost any horrific smell your garbage can could create (from experience). 

     Glad OdorShield® with Gain™ is sold exclusively  at Target,Walmart, Family Dollar and Dollar General. There are 2 fragrances, original and island fresh, box sizes are frequent in 40 or 60 bags(among other amounts) in 13 gallon and the price varies from $10-$17. 

*I was also given a $25 gift card and I brought a box of Glad OdorShield with Gain along with Gain fabric sheets and Glad air fresheners. Unfortunately I became very sick and forgot to take pictures for later, hopefully they won't hold this against me =)

Vitamin C Lotion [Natural & Organic] by Foxbrim review

     This is an awesome product!!!! I absolutely love it! I received this product at a discount from the company and even though I don't have wrinkles, I have extremely dry blotchy skin and constantly get break outs on my cheeks. Which are incredible unsightly and make me self conscious or I can gladly say I did. I used a very small amount in morning and night after washing my face. I used this lotion from February to date, and just ran out of this little bottle earlier this month. If you have not found a moisturizer that takes care of your problems then check this one out. No perfume, thick but light weight, no pore clog, animal cruelty free, made in the US and absolutely worth the $17 =)

This product kept my skin looking like I had a full nights sleep, through my first year of City wide standard testing for my 3rd grader, blogging, little or no sleep nights and a horribly awful stomach virus that traveled through the school like a cupcake sale =| It is a great product , I haven't found one like it in the stores yet.



On top of using this cream I drank plenty of water and cut more fat off my foods and slightly changed my cooking methods to better my life and skin. (But I am still a foodie, that will never change =] )

+LifeGuard Mini portable charger review

 

     +LifeGuard is a new company with the first product being this mini 3 1/2 inch charger. I received this charger with a discount in exchange for a honest review. The product does exactly what it is suppose to do.

     When I charged the product the first time through a wall adapter ( I have 3 devices charging on my computer, wall outlet adapter not included) the red light didn't come on like the instructions said it would. But every recharge after that, the +LifeGuard's red light went on. I let it charge over night each time.

      The charger charged my cell phone or tablet in 1 to 1.5 hrs to a full 100% from a usual 13%. I have used my phone while plugged in the charger and it still charged it, just took longer and not to a full charge (I don't think I ever expected it to). 

      The product comes in Blue, Black, and Pink. It also comes with a small manual and 2 cable wires, one for apple products and one for us "others" ;) . Make sure you check to see if yours is compatible. 

     Overall I really like this product, it is very handy and useful and the wires are very short =) . If you think you might need one, just get one, at least you will have it have around "just in case" =)  

 Price $21.97

NeeBooFit Resistance Loop Bands 6 Piece Set Review

 

    NeeBooFit Resistance Loop Bands 6 Piece Set is a great product. I received these loop bands in April in exchange for an honest review. Over the past month I have used most of the 6 pc pack and am very satisfied. It comes with a little booklet that shows you with actual pictures and directions on how to do 8 different exercises. If you lose the print out you can always print out another one from their website. 

     What I liked most besides the fact that you can store this small bag anywhere; was the level of resistance I got with using these bands. I used the medium and the heavy the most during stretches and Pilates to increase my flexibility and increase my muscle mass. The band should only be stretched 2 to 3 times its length, which is 12'' x 2''. The weight resistance is 7,10,13,16,21,28lb and you can combine them to increase the resistance level. I do wish that they were just a little longer though, they can stretch from 24'' to 36''  but, only because it was slightly uncomfortable doing extended leg lifts on the floor, I felt I wants getting enough range. I am 5' 9'', I think that's average, so I think shorter people would benefit a little more. 

     Their email customer service was excellent. I received 2 yellow bands and no blue band with the first delivery and they quickly sent me a new set with the correct bands in the matter of 2 to 3 days. There is a life time guarantee that if something happens with the proper usage they will replace the resistant loop bands.

      These resistance loop bands are sturdy and made of eco friendly latex. It is advised if you are allergic to latex that you should not purchase this product. You should consult your physician if you are not sure how or if you should use this product. You can use this product to strengthen and elongate your muscles, joints and you can use this product to help recover from an injury.

   

 There is a code that you can use to reduce the current price of $16.97 to $12.73 until May 31, 2015 at it is BLOG2MAY you can use the code on amazon.com at :

Flossy Cloth Microfiber Cleaning Cloth review

     Who is Flossy Cloth? Flossy cloth is a product created by Wilson Enterprise Inc. in New York city and this is a product of Germany. I am assuming that means that all ideas were over there and created over there in Germany by the Wilson Enterprise.

     What is Flossy cloth? It is a 70% polyester, 30% polyamide cloth that is woven together but can  be easily cut without creating fray ends. Over the woven material there is a layer of more fabric that looks like a stretched out spider web which keeps everything in lock.

     I received this product for free through tomoson.com promotion for a honest review but you can purchase  Flossy Cloth  microfiber cleaning cloth for $29.95  at amazon.com through this link : Flossy Cloth

     I have used this microfiber cloth many times and have cut it, just because I wanted to see if it would fray, and with it coming in a pack of 12 reusable 15in x 16in cloth, I figured I could experiment with at least one =) !

     The promises are: No Fraying, No Lint, No Odor, No Streaks or Scratches or need for chemicals.
So far after weeks of use to clean windows inside and out, computer screens, wipe down wood and metal furniture, tv screens, glass tables and mirrors ; I have found these promises truthful.

      When you order Flossy Cloth through amazon Wilson sends you an email including instructions on how to use the cloth. It is suggested to first wet and wring out the cloth allowing to dry before using.  And washing the cloth in the washing machine after use with out softner is suggested ( I use softener on everything,nothing bad happened to my cloths).

      I did find the Flossy cloth hard to grip and slightly rough even after the first wash but I just crumbled it a little while holding it instead of a flat wipe technique and it was fine. The roughness washed out after a few washes but the material was still very good. I have been using Flossy Cloth since April and I like it very much even with my cons. I love the fact that they are reusable and I think they are better then using a cloth because it doesn't leave lint and I can use just water to clean with (but I do use Windex every once and awhile, no difference, just a preference ) .

     I would definitely recommend this product for housework and for everyday cleaning, wiping and polishing jobs..... enjoy =) !



     It currently comes with a Dash Stick non-slip pad as a gift, but I don't know anyone with a car so I couldn't really test it, but it is very sticky and placing it on different surfaces in my home it has not left any nasty residue behind.

Number Game by Rebecca Rode Ebook review

       Number Games is a great book! It starts off with a group of kids that have to graduate to adulthood but receiving a rating on ... their forehead, of all places, for the whole world too see. The book takes place in the new America where one of the biggest triggers of war is outlawed... food. Everyone takes nutrition supplement pills, the higher your rating the better your pill. The higher your rating, the better your life. In the slums of the city, in a corner that the lowest class the "reds", called this because their low number is red rather then  the yellow, green and orange, smuggle food for many reasons. Many people believe that the laws are wrong, but many say nothing and others believe that it makes life better, more organized and necessary.

     So the reds smuggle food with a select few upper class people and try not to get sent to a concentration camp, with the help of rogue people of clans that chose to live out side of NORA the new America.
The reasons to smuggle? Because food is better then pills, the pills the poor are given suck, and because many are reformed rogue clan members "integrated" into society for civilized, salvaging reasons. The small sliver of hope for anyone unhappy with their life is to work really hard, get noticed for it, and hopefully your rating will increase electronically through that plate under your forehead.... but the ratings work both ways. Bad behavior or just a decreasing need in your services as the empress finds out, can decrease your number and change your whole life.Violators face electric shocks through a tag bracelet and some just disappear, NORA has no tolerance for violators and no one cares about a red anyway.

      Here enters a girl named Treena, who pushes herself to succeed at everything in order to get a good  number rating in order to have the life everyone dreams of. She does it for herself, her mother and most importantly to her at the time her boyfriend. But on rating day the whole auditorium is shocked to see that while her boyfriend has the highest rating ever seen in history, surpassing the Empress, she receives one of the lowest rating in history and her total life and dreams is destroyed. Everyone assumes that low ratings are given righteously and she is soon outcast and people believe she has done something hideously wrong in order to be placed with the lowest people in the domain. Most never make it to the slums and just jump off the tallest building with shame.

     Treena soon finds out that while her mother and father are in the higher levels her real father was in fact a rebel which caused her to get a low rating. A rogue man that refused to bow down to a pyramid new order. Teena decides to take matters into her own hands and chases after the one person she thinks can help her the empress, but she has her own agenda for Treena. After being tricked into a suicide mission Treena starts to doubt what her beliefs and learns that what she thought she knew and what she thought was right, was totally wrong. As Treena struggles with trying to return to a life she had and finding the truth about what is really going on, she finds unlikely Alias, a childhood friend who is in fact a smuggler and a  labyrinth of trues and lies that will make you turn pages lost in a new land where Treena tries to find a real, true perfect world.... or just tries to make it back home with her eyes wide shut....

 This is book one in a new series so don't get left behind!

Terry Treetop and the little bear by Tali Cami Ebook review

    Terry Treetop is a young reader book series that explores nature through the eyes of an eager and curious young boy.

    I believe the Terry Treetop series is getting better with each book. The illustrations have more details in them and young children will like the actions of background characters while older children will like the dialogue and independence of Terry on his adventures.

      Terry's back yard is a near by woods. In this book Terry finds himself over joyed with the fact that winter is over. Terry starts exploring signs of spring from his tree house. He sees an well detailed snail and a pair of pigeons. As Terry looks outside of his tree house he sees violet crocus flowers in his garden.
Terry breaks out in song and rhyme. Terry sees a curious bear cub and they begin to play from a distance.  When Terry's new furry friend "Barry" is called back into the safety of the woods by his mother, Barry gets in trouble and Terry has to help him out. Terry uses tools in his environment to problem solve the situation and the mother and baby bear are reunited.

     My daughters 6&8 enjoyed this book and we would definitely recommend to other children and librarians. This is a great read aloud and the illustrations are beautiful and boldly colorful. You can purchase this book on Amazon.com for a $1.00 for Kindle or a paperback book, large print for $7.55 or free for kindle unlimited members at : 

Terry Treetop and the little bear by Tali Cami

     I find that the Terry Treetop  series is adequate in length and my 6 and 8 year old daughters love it. We find this series to be fun and informative about animals, their habitats and how a human should react when encountering one; whether they are in danger or like us, curious. Like I stated the illustrations  are far better in this latest addition as well as character history and details. It is a very enjoyable series and has a sister series for a more scientific, slightly older crowd with a main character called Abigail. Abigail rides on a magical bicycle with a picture book of different places on earth. She problem solves and learns about different terrains and cultures.

Here is a link to my review of Abigail's most current adventure as of this post date :

Willakaville by Matthew Heinecke e-book review

     Willakaville: Amazing Adventures of Astronomical Awesomeness by Matthew Heinecke is a weird and extremely entertaining book.

     My oldest daughter read it on her own and loved it, she kept rereading it and reading all the "good" parts to me (which was the whole book) and I read a few chapters on my own just because it was so funny. I found the book to be weird and humorous, extremely enjoyable. I would say this book is similar to the "My weirdest school" books and I would recommend this book to all ages over 6 and both genders. 

    My 6 year old was unable to read it on her own but listening to the stories. It all started with a leprechaun that handed out mayonnaise for a good deed done. That same mayo making people crazy and the town was taken over by experimental mushrooms, no relation, there are many happenings in between that will make you laugh out loud...

     The book also had vital information with out sounding to political, like a young girl standing up and speaking about censorship and freedom of speech. Over all we all enjoyed this book.

Willy Wonka's Randoms gummies

     I have purchased a few bags of these gummies but can never have them long enough to take pictures! The part I loved most about these funnies over many others that I have tried is that the filling is not over whelming. I there is just enough juice or should I say jelly or "jam" in the center of the funnies to make it interesting.

      There are many flavors such as strawberry, grape, orange. Shapes like fire trucks, tea pots and pirate ships. And Some come with marshmallow backs as one of the 3 textures, plain and jam filled being the others. I would say that the textures and flavors are evenly numbered.

     You can purchase Willy Wonka Randoms at Walmart and Target for under $3.00 They are awesome and fun to eat, you should try them with Cheez-its (I know weird but great ;) #yummy :) )

 I received 2 bags free to sample and review from Smiley360 and here is a lovely link if you want to sign up too:
