Just For Men Autostop

Just For Men Autostop

Coloring  my own hair has been something I have always done and really enjoy. At 31 I mostly dye my hair to update the color for a fresh look. My husband on the other hand has been going crazy with his gray hair that has began to show. He is not the kind of guy that has ever dyed his hair but he has come to a point where he feels that he would like to go back to his natural pre-gray color. For that we tried Just for Men .He was a bit hesitant at first but after convincing him to wait and see the results I think he was kind of excited.

Just for Men Autostop comes in 5 shades making it easy for you to find the right color for the man in your life. My husband was closest to the Dark Brown. I have colored my friends hair in the past but coloring my husbands hair was totally something new for me. We had a lot of fun doing it and could not wait to wash it out and see the results. After fully reading all directions we were ready to start. The directions were easy to follow and I did help my husband but he would have had no problem doing it himself.  The results were pretty good. It colored most of the gray and was a great match to his normal color. I think it would have covered all the gray if he would have left it on a bit longer. He is excited to use it again in 6-8 weeks and with its affordable price there is no reason to not give it a try!

Space Bag High Capacity Storage Tote Giveaway

Space Bag High Capacity Storage Tote Giveaway

I often hear most of my friends being less than happy with the idea of spring cleaning. I have always been the kind of person that enjoys spring cleaning. I have always tried to embrace it and look for ways to make it better.

One of the first things I do in my home is de-clutter every room in the house. I often find myself cramming old things in a box not giving it much thought to how its stored. This year I found a better way to store things like bedding, winter clothes, out grown clothes and more. The first time I heard of  The Space Bag I think was on a late night infomercial. I always wondered if they worked as advertised. I have a few heavy winter king size bedding comforters that every year I cram up in the closet. This year I decided I would test the Space Bag Tote on a few things. well actually a lot of things:) I was able to fit 2 king comforters, 2 sets of sheets, 2 sets of curtains, and like 5-6 kids size blankets in the Space Bag Tote. At first you wonder how on earth will all this fit. With just a few minutes with a vacuum it sucked out all the air while compacting everything down. After that it was ready to zip up and ready to store.I was impressed with how much it stored.

If you are looking for a great product to store things after spring cleaning I would totally recommend the Space Bag. You can find out more on their website. Be sure to like them on Facebook and enter to win one of your own below!

Fijit Friends Newbies

Fijit Friends Newbies

My kids always seem to be the first to know about new toys, long before I even hear of them. It was a few weeks ago that my daughter came home from a playdate raving about a new toy. It was a Fijit Friend. Crazy name right? Well after 45 minutes of my daughter going on and on about it I decided to check them out for myself.


They are the cutest interactive, dancing and talking robots. They can tell jokes, answer questions and even dance with you. Right about that time I was able to review one of them along with the Fijit Friends Newbies. I can tell you the excitement around the house has been crazy. My daughter has been playing with them non-stop. The Fijit Friends Newbies can interact with other ones as well as the original Fijit Friends. Nurture Fijit Friends Newbies to get them to sing. The more they are nurtured, the better they perform. My kids love singing and dancing with them. This is one of those toys that get more play time than closet time. I think they make a great interactive toy and are really affordable.

You can find out more about them and see the entire selection on their website.

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Mattel and received two Fijit Friends Newbies and one Fijit Friends to facilitate my review.”

The MOGO Shades are sure to be the new trend for girls. The fun bright colors are just part of what my girls loved. Each pair of the retro neon shades can hold two charms, one on each side.

Each bracelet is adjustable and can link together to create wrap bracelets, headbands, belts and more. With so many charms to choose from you can really make something unique to fit your style and mood.

Munchkin

Munchkin

I have always loved Munchkin products. Their feeding supplies and cups for little ones have always been a favorite. Their products are not only affordable but durable. My kids love using their plates and cups for meals. Their vibrate fun colors make them really great for kids and get my kids more excited to eat.

They also have really fun toys for babies and toddlers. My kids have loved playing with their Bath Star. It is a battery operated fountain for the bath. It also has lights on it making it really fun for kids. My kids could play with this for hours and it has made bath time so much more fun.
Another favorite is the Lilypad Launcher Bath Toy. They love flipping the frogs off the lilypad. My kids have had a blast with this bath toy. Munchkin toys have made my kids bath much more fun for them. You can check out their website for all their fun and functional products and find them on Facebook as well!

Dr.Sears Family Essentials

Dr.Sears Family Essentials

I love great products for babies and kids. Although I technically do not have any babies I have enough pregnant friends that I am always on the lookout for great natural products to recommend. As a mom of 3 I know how important it is to have great products to care for your children’s skin.


Some of the products I love are from Dr.Sears Family Essential line. We received Baby Lotion, Diaper Rash Cream, Baby Wash and Shampoo, Wipes and even Stretch Mark Cream. The first thing I noticed was the products are made with non-irritating, natural ingredients. I have enough things to worry about as a mom, and love that when using their products I don’t have to worry about harmful ingredients. I really loved the Baby Wash and Shampoo. Followed by the lotion after a bath and my kids skin was so soft without being greasy.

I would defiantly recommend Dr. Sears Baby Products to moms and expectant moms. They have may more items on their website and you can check that out here. Be sure to also follow them on Facebook and Twitter.
