Review: Eraselet- Bracelet Eraser

REVIEW: I have to say what a cute product. Erasers are always being lost at our house- not even sure where they go but hey these Eraselets have worked wonders all week.  I even caught my 10 yr old using one the other night when he told me earlier those are too babyish for him.  I showed my daughter to turn it inside out and use a finger to help erase, it took her a couple times but now she is PRO!   She wore a couple the other to school and when she came home she didn't have any on, she gave them out.  I recommend Eraselet Braclet Eraser!

Want to WIN your own Eraselets:  ENTER HERE

PRODUCT INFO: The Eraselet® was designed for porous paper such as notebook paper, elementary lined paper, construction paper, low-end copy paper, newspaper; paper that kids use everyday in schools across America!  The Eraselet® is not recommended for laser copy paper, glossy paper or paper that has a film on it.  The most common way to use the Eraselet is to simply stretch it to the tip of your thumb or index finger and erase- use it inside out though so the outside stays clean :)

Please check out their site at : http://www.eraselet.com/

YouTube Video on product: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Al8tz8p823Y

They also have a non-profit that they founded called Erase World Hunger.  10% of net profits will go to Erase World Hunger.  http://www.eraseworldhunger.org 

Where you can get Eraselets: Retail packages are available at the on-line store @ http://www.eraselet.com. They also sell individual Eraselets on website starting @ 1.00 each w/a minimum order of 3.00 and FREE Shipping!  OR you can find Eraselets at the Dollar General Market Stores for 1.00 each, a link to their locations is on website.

Customize Your Eraslets: Have custom spirit items made for your school or use Eraselet to bring awareness to your cause, “Erase Your Cause” w/Eraselet.

Wholesale: I'm also on our School's PTA so I will share this info with them because this would make a great fundraiser for schools.  They offer packages for at wholesale prices to school/teachers/pta to enable them raise funds for their school or classroom.  Schools can earn a 50% margin and 100% profit on a fun product.  I think this would work well at our weekly Bake Sale.

REVIEW- Ouidad Climate Control Frizz & Flyaway Fighter

I received a sample of Climate Control Frizz and Flyaway Fighter and  Climate Control Shampoo and Conditioner.  I have to say I really love this product.  I used it for both my hair and Lil Mama's hair.  If you have Curly Hair please try Ouidad products I know you won't be disappointed.  

My hair is so long and thick  right now that I get mad everyday trying to style it so its usually in a rubber band on top of my head.   The past 3 days (since using these products) my hair hangs so nice and NOT FRIZZY!  Yesterday,  I went to the grocery store and 4 people came up and told me  "What beautiful hair you have"  one lady even touched it and said she always wished for hair like mine.  My hubby even noticed the NO FRIZZ and asked what I did different.  Sorry to say I'm not going to post pics because I don't like having my picture taken with my double chins, LOL!   With the compliments I've received I'm going to tell you that it works just wonderfully on my thick wavy long hair! 

Now my daughter's hair is a big thorn in my butt because everyday it starts dreading up no matter what, so its usually in pony tails or braids.  I love her hair down but it takes a lot of work and within a couple hours its all dreaded and frizzy again.  Yesterday,  I washed her hair with the Climate Control Shampoo & Conditioner then combed through it with no fight!  When I was done I sprayed the Control Frizz and Flyaway fighter and BAM this is what she looked like!  We all loved her hair!  All night I was saying "Oh I love your hair".  When she got up this morning I just had to spray some water and the Frizz control on it and she was ready to go!  That hasn't happen all school year!  

I highly recommend Climate Control Frizz and Flyaway Fighter and Ouidad's Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo /Ouidad Climate Control Defrizzing Conditioner .

Review: Perfect Energy- New Chapter Organics

Last week I received a 5 day supply of PERFECT ENERGY and PERFECT CALM.  I decided to do "1" each week so last week I did Perfect Energy and I loved it.  In the past I've taken energy "vitamins" and felt jumpy and jittery all day but Perfect Energy didn't do that so THANK YOU New Chapter Organics.  

I took one 3 times a day (morning, afternoon and evening) and I was very productive through out the whole day.  My house was clean everyday and I'm not saying that it gave me energy to SPRING CLEAN (lol) no but I kept up on everything everyday with little effort.  Usually, I pick 1 or 2 days that I do housework but last week I did something everyday and wow that felt good.  What felt the best is I wasn't wanting to sleep after I got off work or just veg out in front of the TV. Also as some of vitamins that I have taken in the past I had a hard time falling asleep at night, not this time. 

 I was very productive last week and I have Perfect Energy to thank for that!  This week I will be testing the Perfect Calm. 

PERFECT ENERGY:
Product Info:  A complete multi-vitamin, Perfect Energy contains a combination of 23 whole-food vitamins and minerals formulated to promote optimal health while targeting the nutrients your body needs to sustain energy production, like whole-food complexed Vitamins B, C, E, and Selenium.* Yet another unique feature of Perfect Energy is the Vital Rhythms blend of flower essences which encourages mental focus, fortitude, and perseverance during times of stress.

Next Monday I will post my review on the Perfect Calm.  I will need it this week for sure~ I have a Book Fair I need to get ready for, finish off the Read-a-Thon this Friday, PTA Meeting on Thursday, plus all the other 100 projects I have going. 

Want more info on New Chapter Organic Products: http://www.bestpricenutrition.com/new-chapter.html

I did receive a 5 day Free Trial of the Perfect Energy and Perfect Calm and my view on this product are my very own.  I will not endorse a product that I haven't tried myself.

Drive-In Movie Theaters ROCK!

Last night we went to a Drive-In Movie Theater with some friends and had a blast. I grew up on Drive-In Movies and was so excited when I found one in our area (have to drive about 30 minutes but so worth it). The LORAX was playing and so we made it happen. What a BIG DIFFERENCE in cost though- for myself and 2 kids it was $9.00 total to get in. We brought our own dinner (Subway) and bought snacks there but to save money BRING YOUR OWN EVERYTHING! The volume comes through a radio station so no more of those boxes we had to put on our windows back in the day. I recommend pillows and blankets too! We saw people BBQ'ing and just having a good time. So check if you have a Drive In near you and I highly recommend going and having a AWESOME FAMILY NIGHT for little money!

BTW the LORAX was a wonderful movie!

Mom Does Reviews-Soda Stream Giveaway

Make your own Soda in under 30 seconds!

The Soda Stream Product:

Making carbonated water and soft drinks is simple! Turn tap water into sparkling water in under 30 seconds, with no clean-up. Enjoy the freshness and convenience of homemade soda and protect the environment at the same time. No heavy bottles to carry, store at home or throw away. Fizz to your taste and add the flavor of your choice to make your favorite drink. Simple to clean and reuse. With a variety of colors and silhouettes, you'll be sure to find a soda maker to match with any decor. SodaStream is an "Active Green" product, meaning that consumers are actively reducing their CO₂ footprint every time they make soda or sparkling water at home instead of buying it from the store. The more the system is used on a daily basis, the more CO₂ footprint the user actively saves. Using your own soda make means:

• Less packaging waste from cans and bottles.
• Less pollution caused by transport of bottled beverages.

One SodaStream carbonator makes 60 or 110 liters, equivalent to 170 or 310 aluminum cans! When empty, the carbonator is refilled and reused, ready to make more fizzy and tasty soda whenever you want it.
; Review by Mom Does Reviews: I was so excited to receive my Soda Stream in the mail. But, I think my son was even more excited! He carried one of the heavy boxes up 2 flights of stairs to open it. ( He's only 9, and most of the time complains about carrying groceries up the stairs.) I was very impressed with the packing of the Soda Stream. Everything was secure and protected, nothing could get broken in shipping. I unpacked both boxes and I must admit, I was a little overwhelmed at first. It seemed like there were so many pieces to assemble. Here is what came in my two boxes: Normally I let my husband assemble things, but I wanted to put it together on my own. If I can put it together, anyone can! The instruction booklet was very thick, that made me nervous at first, until I realized it was in 10 languages. The only pages that applied were the first two. Soda Stream makes it easy for anyone to put it together. It has step by step directions with pictures and with text. If I questioned myself just by looking at the pictures, I read to text too, just to be safe. So, after all my nervousness, it only took my 5 minutes to put it together. The carbonator had to be screwed in just right and the two main pieces put together. That was about it for assembly! The fun part is making your own soda. The special liter bottles that come with the soda stream need to be filled with tap water to the fill line. You place the bottle under the carbonator and screw it in place. Then you press the button 3 times for average amount of fizz. I wasn't sure if I had done it quite right, so I pushed the carbonator button about 5 times for our first liter of homemade soda. Needless to say, our Black Currant/pear soda was extra fizzy. But it was delicious! Remember to put the in flavoring after you carbonate the water. Pour it in slowly with the bottle tilted and shake slightly. Pour your homemade soda over ice and enjoy! My son got creative with his flavor. He mixed half Cola and half Cranberry/Raspberry. I liked his "Berry Coke" better than my Black Currant/pear soda. Kids are smart and they know what they like. He loved it! Overall, I would highly recommend The Soda Stream to anyone who is interested in making their own soda. Other than the great taste, it has many more benefits. It saves on buying soda at the store. It saves your back, no more lugging soda from the grocery store, to the car, to the pantry. It is so convenient, no need to go to the store to buy soda, you can make your own! It helps out environment: think of all those 2-liter bottles that aren't being thrown away! It has a third of the calories compared to regular Pepsi or Coke, for example:

	Calories	Carbs	Sugar	Sodium	Caffeine
Pepsi®	100	27g	27g	25mg	25mg
Coca-Cola®	100	27g	27g	35mg	23mg
SodaStream Cola	34	9g	9g	2mg	15mg
7-UP®	100	26g	26g	50mg	0mg
Sprite®	100	26g	26g	45mg	0mg
SodaStream Lemon Lime	36	9g	9g	25mg	0mg

All SodaStream regular sodamix uses a mixture of Splenda® and sugar. Diet flavors are sugar-free, sweetened with Splenda® brand sweetener. Comparison is based on 8 fl. oz. serving size (0.34 fl. oz. of SodaStream sodamix per 8 fl. oz. of water).

Mom Does Reviews gives The Soda Stream 5 out of 5 stars!

Evelyn Kate Designs

This weekend I did try a AMAZING CLEANING TIP from Life, Crafts and Whatever and OMG it worked. She tells us how  Dawn + Vinegar = Soap Scum KILLA II tried it but I do have to admit I didn't have BLUE Dawn Soap but it was GREEN and it worked lovely!  My hubby was impressed when I showed him.  The only thing that bothered me was the vinegar smell but it went away after couple hours or it could have been the candle I placed in the bathroom too! 

How do you USE PINTEREST????  

If you need a need a invite- email me at pamallen68@gmail.com and I will send you one :)

Peace and Quiet- A Mom's Dream!

Or maybe it is just my dream!  Every so often my family goes out of town to visit my hubby's family- darn I have to work so I have to stay behind.  This weekend they left me and to be honest I couldn't get them out the door soon enough.  I know a bit mean but I had a migraine and I needed quiet.

Last night was awesome- I sat in pure quiet for hours (no TV, no music-NOTHING) just relaxing and trying to get rid of the headache.  It felt great.  Then at night I was able to watch all my goofy shows that no one likes and NO INTERRUPTIONS.  Usually at night the "Mom Referee" has to emerge to stop the fighting over toys, books, and the TV!  I didn't have to yell (lol) or roll my eyes or send someone to their room for hitting!  It felt good almost like a detox of some sort.

Today I got up and was able to get to work on time with little effort.  Usually I have to fight to get out the door with one kid attached to one leg and the other asking if he can play video games at 7:30 in the morning. I went to work and had a great day.  Then the best part was walking into the house that was CLEAN and I didn't have to hear " Sahara did this....." or "Ronnell called me a ......" it was pure quiet!  Did I say clean house...YES!   The vacuum lines are still showing- I love vacuum lines (I know a bit weird).

Tonight I plan to read my book I bought a couple weeks ago and watch a movie I want to watch- what more could I ask for!!!  Loving my peace and quiet for these 2 days but to be honest that is all about I could handle. I need my hugs, kisses, and loves from my family so I do miss that!  But don't get me wrong you know I'm going to enjoy every minute.

Elfishki and The Giant Cake iPad Review

My daughter and I really enjoyed this APP for iPad a lot.  The story was very colorful plus interactive.  I love that it asked questions on each page that made my daughter think!  Plus the questions asked them to count or find certain objects, letting them get involved with the story. My daughter can read but she also enjoyed when the book was narrated by a beautiful voice.  I think she has read or listened to this app everyday.  But the best part was the CAKE GAME (according to lil Mama)! My daughter spent some time making beautiful cakes and silly cakes. She made a cake for me and sent it by email when I was at work, that made my day!   She plans to make a cake for everyone this year on their birthday.

Review: Cook'n Recipe Organizer

Cook'n Recipe Organizer

If you want to get 50% off this program use this code during checkout: mb-pinkmama  at http://www.dvo.com/gcookn.html

My Review:


Search:  I can do a search on the Internet and find recipes I want and click CAPTURE and there it is in Favorite Recipe or my Go To Cookbooks!  You can name your own cookbooks.  Plus I can input the ingredients I have in the house and it will bring up all recipes for those ingredients- how cool!


Organize:  This is the coolest part!  If you are like me you have recipes in the kitchen, on the desk, in a file folder, saved somewhere on the computer but can you find "that" recipe when you need it?  Not me!  This program saves everything in one place.  You can organize by different cookbooks.  Right now I have Pam's Fav's and Pam's To Go cookbooks.  But I do plan to add more. I love this program!


Edit: Let's say I need to double a recipe or triple (bake sale stuff) so I pull up the recipe and add how many people this needs to serve and guess what...it does all the math for you!


Menu: Plan ahead- what is that?  Well I can do it now with hardly any thinking.  It allows you do it weekly, monthly,and 3 months.  I'm going to really enjoy this feature this week since it's shopping week.


Shopping list: This is probalbly my favorite part- it creates a shopping list for each recipe.  I can print the list or save on the computer and send right to my phone. Plus it gives you all the nutritional info too and now that I'm eating healthier this is very important.


Manually Add Recipe:  I have some recipes that go way back and are on index cards and now I can input them on this program and this helps me by keeping ALL recipes in one spot!


Print: You can print out recipes, menu plans, and cookbooks.
****************************************************************


Overall this is a WONDERFUL program that I think every household should have!  It also has tons of recipes already in the program plus they have over 100 cookbooks to buy! I have used it every day that I have cooked.
