Teddy Bears Personalized Review & Giveaway

Recently I was in the market to get something unique, cute and perfect for my “not quite” Sister-In-Law for Mother’s Day.  It was her first Mother’s Day (sorta, cuz she’s been a step bonus Mom for a few years, but she just had her first baby last Nov.)  So Steve and I wanted to get her something really good for her.  Luckily we found something absolutely perfect!

click on picture to see close up of stitching

Teddy Bears Personalized gives you the ability to pick a bear out, pick out the clothes, and then have a message or name embroidered right on the clothes.  We picked out a “Funky Friends” Polar pal, with a light blue hoodie.  Then we had embroidered on the hoodie this message, “Happy First Mother’s Day Julie & Nathaniel.  From Steve, Chris, Roger and Jack”.  We ordered the bear in the evening on May 3rd and it arrived at our door in the afternoon on May 5th.

I was shocked at how soft the bear was.  It felt like that wonderfully soft microfiber stuff.. the material that makes you want to keep touching it forever!  It was soo amazingly soft!  It stood about 8 inches tall, when sitting on the desk.  The embroidery is amazingly beautiful!  I just absolutely loved it!  I couldn’t believe how quick it got to us also.  Julie and her little guy loved the bear as well!  So it ended up being an absolutely perfect mother’s day present for Steve’s sister!

I would highly recommend getting a personalized teddy bear from Teddy Bears Personalized to anyone!  They are perfect for kids and adults of all ages.  No matter the occasion, who ever you want to get these bears for will love them!  And because you can embroider a message on the teddy bear’s outfit, they instantly turn into keepsakes!  The price is great too!  Our bear only cost $32.99 including shipping & handling.  It was totally worth every penny!

Now for the really fun stuff!  I happen to know the owner of Teddy Bears Personalized and asked him if he wanted to sponsor a give away on my blog when I did this review.  (He didn’t know we were going to buy the teddy bear until the order went through… which was a nice little surprise for him!)  After seeing how fantastic the bears are, I knew I was going to do a review of them on my blog!  And what better way to get MORE people wanting to buy these great bears, than to have a giveaway!!! So here are the giveaway details!

Win a Design A Bear from Teddy Bears Personalized, Just like this one (pictured above).

What:  Winner will receive their choice of a Design A Bear, with ability to choose color of bear, jumper and personalized message that is embroidered onto clothes.  Retail value of  $29.99 inc. s/h.

When: From now (Wed. May 12, 2010) until May 19, 2010 at 9pm PST – winner will be chosen by using Random.org’s random number integer and then announced here on this blog on May 20th.

Where:  Right here at my blog (leave a comment for each action you take)

Who:  Anyone in the US or Canada

How:  Main entry, which MUST be done to be entered into the contest, Visit Teddy Bear Personalized website, and tell me which one of the bears is your favorite in a comment below.

Extra Entries:

Disclaimer:  I did not receive any paid compensation or product for this review.  I paid full price for the Teddy Bear pictured and talked about in this review.  All opinions are 100% my own.  I do know the owner of this business, but that had no bearing (pun intended) on this review at all!

#Titillating Tuesday Review – Aphrodite Vibrator by Laura Berman & Giveaway from @My_Pleasure

Welcome to another Titillating Tuesday!

If you’re a family member you may want to stop reading now, this will become very intimate!  However, if you’re not related to me or Steve in any way, then you might want to keep reading.  I received a new sex toy in the mail, and I’m going to get to tell you all about it, plus I have another giveaway for a $25 gift card to My Pleasure.com!  Read through the review and then find out about the giveaway!

Aphrodite Vibrator by Laura Berman

About the Product:

I received this vibrator a little while ago and have played with it a couple of times.  It is a hand-held, rechargeable vibrator that comes with three different “heads” and has 2 different speeds, with the lowest setting having infrared heat added to it.  The speeds are high and low, and the heat is either on during the low speed or off during the high speed.  The three “heads” are soft gel types, with the shapes of “pin point” which has a round tip, smooth, and “nubby” which has small rounded nubs all over the head.  These can be changed with a simple snap onto the massage head.

Noise Level:

This is noisy!  Although with the doors closed and it set to high, I could barely hear it buzzing on the outside of the bedroom.  I still would feel super self conscious about using it while the kids were awake in the house.  Maybe with other noises going on around it might be even less noticeable.  However, it is definitely loud enough to wake someone up in the same room!  So no playing with it while hubby is asleep!  hehe

Vibration Level:

The speeds say “Low” and “High”, but they should say “High” and “Slightly Higher”.  There really aren’t two separate speeds on this thing.  However, the speed of the vibration is pretty good.  I would have liked it more if it had more various speed controls and if the heat was separate as well.  The way it is set up, the heat is only on if it’s on “Low”.

My Opinion:

Overall, I’d say that this was an “ok” toy.  Not my favorite and maybe not one I’d use often.  There’s very little control on the variation of speed and the heat was almost non existent.  Without being able to really control the variations of speed or the heat, this is a little bit disappointing.  If you just want clitoral stimulation then this does have a good speed for that and it’s easy to use one handed.  But if you’re wanting more than just a simple “rubbing”, then this is not really a toy I would see using often.

On top of the lack of speed control, the attachment “heads” seem odd to me.  The one with all the nubs on it was too hard and uncomfortable.  It didn’t really add to the sensations.  The “pin point” head wasn’t bad, not really for more than clitoral stimulation though.  The “smooth” head seemed pointless though, and I couldn’t figure out why it was there.  I was a bit disappointed in these attachments.  I think that they should have a wider variety of “heads” that you could use for a “deeper” massage.

Recommendations:

Who would I recommend this vibrator too?  Well, If your not looking for anything too “deep” of a massage and you don’t need a lot of control over the speed, then I’d say this vibrator might fit you perfectly.  However, if you like more control over speed & heat, and would like something that goes a little further… then I’d say this was not the best vibrator for you to buy.

My rating: 2.5 stars

Review- Twist Loofah Sponge & Elsie’s Original Germ Fighter Spray & Giveaway!

Twist Loofah Sponge & Elsie’s Original Germ Fighter Spray

About The Product:

Twist Loofa Sponge – Unbleached, undyed white cellulose and tan, scrubby loofah. And it’s biodegradable, just like the food it cleans up after.

Elsie’s Original Germ Fighter Spray – Elsie’s Original Germ Spray is meant for bigger jobs like high chairs, toys, counters, table tops, and anything and everything your baby may touch. The same wonderful solution used for the Germ Fighter Wipes in a convenient 8 oz. spray bottle. Each bottle contains organic lavender, chamomile and Vitamin E essential oils.

My Opinion:

I received these two items in the mail from EcoMom.  I love natural products, not because I’m a “Greenie” and “Environmentally conscious”, though I am at times to a certain extent.  I love natural products because they are healthier for people and tend to aggravate my allergies less than most chemicals.   I’m very sensitive to chemicals and plastics, so I have to be careful about what I use to clean my house.

So the fact that Elsie’s Original Germ Fighter Spray is made with organic lavender, chamomile and Vitamin E essential oils, made me very happy.  I’ve actually made similar cleaning sprays myself, but it’s no easy task, and I”m kinda lazy.  So I love that this is already made and inexpensive too!  You can purchase this spray for $13.20 (or use my discount code through May 31, 2010 SBBL204 and get 15% off  your first order!)

I used the spray in conjunction with the sponges to clean my kitchen counters.  I was very pleased with the results.  I have white tiles on the counters, and as anyone with tile knows, the grout gets dirty easily.  This spray and sponge not only got my counter nice a clean, but it cleaned up the grout as well.  Of course I had to scrub a little harder, natural products don’t make it easy, but it did the job still.  Plus, now there is a lovely smell of Lavender & Chamomile in my kitchen.

If you like using natural products with essential oils instead of chemicals, then I would suggest these two items.  They are as good as most cleansers, have a wonderful smell, and the sponges are biodegradable.  You can feel good about cleaning your house and keeping the environment clean at the same time.

My rating: 4.0 stars
****

Now for the fun part.  If you’d like to receive your OWN set of Twist Loofah Sponges & Elsie’s Original Germ Fighter Spray, then here’s your chance!  EcoMom is allowing me to giveaway a set to one of my readers.  Read below for what you have to do to enter!

Giveaway – Eden Fantasys $25 Gift Card

Sex toys - EdenFantasys adult toys store

Eden Fantasys $25 Gift Card

Over the weekend, during the crisis of our email/web server crashing on us, I got some absolutely fantastic news.  I am going to start doing product reviews for Eden Fantasys!  Now, for my family, they may want to stop reading right now, because I’m going to start talking about sex.  :P   But the rest of you, well stick around, cuz we’re gonna have some fun!

I’m a healthy woman in her late mid thirties.  So I have a healthy sexual appetite.  Luckily I also have an incredible partner, who not only is a lot of fun no matter where we are, he’s also a lot of fun in bed.  We have a pretty good sex life.  But that doesn’t mean there aren’t times when we like to play around too!  So when Eden Fantasys asked me if I’d like to review some of their wonderful products I was thrilled!  This was a chance to start REALLY exploring.

Some of the great things they have on the site are sexy lingerie & costumes, vibrators, lotions & oils, books, DVDs and many other products for your pleasure.  Below you can find a few of the products that looked fun & interesting to me.  (Especially the Bondage Duckie Vibrator!  HOW CUTE!!!) Though when I was looking through their online catalogue I felt like a kid in the candy store!  I want to try everything out!  LOL!

Get Adobe Flash player

They also have a great  a magazine, SexIs!  If you know who The Bloggess is, then you may have read some of her articles and “Advice” columns in their magazine.  I love it!  The Magazine is always fun and interesting to read.  With great articles by renowned doctors and sex experts, great “how to” articles on sex of all sorts, sex humor and much more to read.  You can even get it in print or online!

Sexis - a provocative sex magazine at EdenFantasys.com

On the website, Eden Fantasys, you’ll find interviews with Porn stars, Sex Doctors, and many other experts that the entire community on Eden Fantasys has been able to submit their own questions to.  It’s fun, informative, and a great way to learn new things.  There’s also a great Community Forum, Sex Toys Reviews, and a heck of a lot more on the website.

Eden Cafe

Then there is Eden Cafe, the main blog for Eden Fantasys.  You’ll find a lot more interesting articles on sex, politics, current events and much more from some of the popular authors and reviewers of Eden Fantasys.  So whatever you’re looking for from a sex website, especially for us women, this is the place to get it!

Next week, I”ll be doing my very first Eden Fantasys review of some body frosting called Sugar Kiss!  Steve and I should have a ton of fun trying it out, and you’ll get to find out how it goes.  I’ll always be extremely honest about the products I am reviewing.  I may be getting the products for free, but that will never influence my review.  Though I try to be as positive as I can, it will be unbiased and totally 100% MY VIEWS!  So never fear that I won’t give it to you straight!

National Napping Day Giveaway From Protect-A-Bed

Happy National Napping Day!

Today, March 15, is National Napping Day.  This is a relatively new “holiday” that was started in 1999 to counter act the horrible affects of the miserable Daylight Saving Time.  National Napping Day is always the Monday after Daylight Saving Time in the spring because we have to change our clocks forward one hour.  We all need the nap time!  I know I do!



Everybody naps… much like the book “Everybody Poops”, everyone needs to take a nap now and then.  The cat at the top of the page is Midnight, our three legged black cat.  This is my mother in law’s dog Beau.  And below you’ll find pictures of our African Grey Parrot, Pepper, My sons, Roger & Jack (who is under the covers), and me.  We’re all napping.  Since I had to get up extra early today because of my business, I may take a nap later as well (but no pictures!  LOL).

I hate Daylight Saving Time.  I would consider moving to Arizona just to keep from having to change the clocks back and forth twice a year.  Usually I’m all confused and bothered for at least a week after the time changes.  Naps are a great way to get yourself back into the swing of things though.

I love naps!  I can take a nap just about anywhere too!  Protect-A-Bed is having a twitter party, asking where is the funniest place you have ever taken a nap.  My entry is in a Jeep 4 wheeling in the desert.  And yes, that was while the jeep was moving and bouncing around!  LOL!  Not only was I napping, but evidently I was snoring too!  LOL!  Or at leas that’s what Steve and the Boys told me.


To help celebrate national Napping Day, Protect-A-Bed is having a twitter party today and sponsoring this wonderful mattress cover giveaway here on my blog!

Protect-A-Bed® supports the art of napping on National Napping Day

Company’s mattress protectors create a comfortable, allergy-free nap environment

CHICAGO (March 15, 2010) – Napping is an art – an art studies show bolsters health and creativity. History has produced a legion of great nappers. Among them are Leonardo Da Vinci, Thomas Edison and Lord Byron, who after sweet slumbers achieved great feats of art, science and literature.

Is this a coincidence – this combination of greatness and napping? On this Napping Day, we at Protect-A-Bed think not. Napping Day is the first Monday after daylight saving time begins. It’s the day when the majority of us, a bit weary from losing an hour of sleep, desperately long for a short siesta. And, those of us at Protect-A-Bed believe you should cave to that longing.

Studies abound tout the benefits of napping, from enhancing memory and learning, to improving work performance, and increasing mental acuity and overall health. That’s why on the first Monday after daylight saving time begins, it’s fitting to celebrate the benefits of the nap and those who take them.

However, those who nap the best understand a sleeping place needs protection from allergens and dust mites. After all, waking from a nap with the sniffles is no way to wake up at all.

Research shows 10 percent of the general public and as many as 90 percent of people with allergic asthma (depending on the study you read) have an allergy to dust mites. And, dust mites love spoiling our napping refuge, taking up residence in mattresses and pillows. In fact, as many as two million dust mites can thrive in an unprotected mattress.

Besides dust mites, it’s not unusual for other allergy triggers like pollen and pet dander to become trapped within mattresses. By using a mattress protector, allergy sufferers can create an impermeable barrier between themselves and the allergens within their bed. By coupling mattress protection with pillow protectors that seal allergens within pillows, people can create a virtually allergy-free nap space.

So today, harness the creative power that comes from napping, and embrace your inner Da Vinci. And remember, the art of napping needs a canvas, and that canvas comes from Protect-A-Bed.

The Giveaway

Since Protect-A-Bed feels that everyone should be able to take a great nap they are sponsoring a wonderful giveaway here on my blog.  What you’ll receive is a Queen Size Protect-A-Bed Premium Mattress Cover (retail value $79.99 pictured above)!  Follow the simple rules below and enter for your chance to win!

Dreamcatchers/Patches the Bear Giveaway
