Dropper Boppers Collectible Plush ~ Cool Drop Giveaway ~Closed

I was thrilled when I found out that I was going to be able to review and giveaway Cool Drop the first release of the newest limited edition plush craze.  When Cool Drop arrived at my house my tween and my hubby gathered around.  It was securely packaged so I was careful while opening it.  The suspense almost killed them.  As soon as they saw Cool Drop they exclaimed at the same time "for me".  They proceeded to tell me how cool he was.  Yes, that's why his name is Cool Drop.  Cool Drop is a collectible for anyone any age.  He is small enough to occupy a desk, office, child's room, they possibilities are endless.   I was immediately impressed by the super low price point of this adorable series.  They are under $10 and come in a custom paperboard box and a certificate.  Currently you can visit the official website DropperBopper.com and pick up one for the sale price of $5.99!  Cool Drop would make a great gift for any occasion.  He would also be a great pick me up when visiting someone who is sick.

Customers can save $1.00 off their order by typing in the coupon code droppersaver during checkout at http://www.dropperbopper.com/WhereToBuy.html

InstantPeel by Earthen Review

I received InstantPeel by Earthen to review.  I will be one of the first to admit that I am not a skincare junkie and have never been to a professional spa.  Don't get me wrong,  I have tried a number of skincare regimens but haven't stuck with them for one reason or another.  I have what I would describe as dry skin and have found some products to be extremely to harsh for me.  I was a little leery of a facial peel but InstantPeel is advertised as a "natural exfoliant" and is said to be safe for even sensitive skin.  InstantPeel is also attractive to me because I can use it in the shower without interrupting my normal schedule. 

I opened the individual treatment packet in the shower and followed the instructions.  I used the product on small areas working my way from forehead to chin (avoiding sensitive eye area).  There was absolutely no stinging, tingling, burning at all.  It was a little icky feeling the skin peel off as the treatment worked.  It also left me a little frightened that I may exit the shower red faced.  I was pleasantly surprised no redness at all.  My skin felt very smooth and looked even better.  I had just two small dry patches on my cheek and used my normal moisturizer. 

InstantPeel is an easy and affordable alternative to spa treatments.  Check out all of the products offered by : www.earthen-products.com

Thank you.  You're input is appreciated!

Printed T Shirts

I was given the opportunity to review a unisex t-shirt from http://www.tshirtprinting.net/ .   The shirt I received was the white t with their mascot monkey on the front.  I ordered a size small and my eyes lit up a bit thinking it was going to be too big especially in length.  Once washed my doubts were erased.  I didn't try it on prior to washing but just by looks I'd recommend ordering  to allow for normal t-shirt shrinkage.  I want to tell you about the quality of the screen print.  As mentioned,  I washed the t shirt upon receiving it.  I turned it inside out and washed and dried (medium water temperature and medium dry) with my usual laundry.  The design came out perfectly.  There wasn't any fading, craking or peeling of the print.  It is very vibrant in color and I expect this t shirt and the design will last for a long time.  Also even though I received a white shirt the weight of the shirt is thick enough that you do not have to worry about it being see through. 

I was very pleased with this product.  The unisex t shirt is only one of many products that http://www.tshirtprinting.net/ offers.  They will also do printings in quantities as small as 12.  If you have printing needs stop by http://www.tshirtprinting.net/ and see what they have to offer.

Dishwasher and Laundry Safe Labels for Kids and Baby!

I recently had the opportunity to review Applied Labels™  the best selling product from Applied Labels LLC.  I chose a label with my daughter's name and the butterfly icon.  Where was Applied Labels when my daughter was an infant???  I can't tell you how much masking tape I used on bottles, sippy cups, bags etc.  Applied Labels has made labeling your child's items so much easier and much more fashionable. 

When the labels arrived I couldn't wait to get them out and go to labeling.  We labeled my daughter's school supplies including: Her daily (glossy) folder, fabric pencil pouch, outside of nylon lunch bag and inside of her backpack.  I have been most impressed with the labeling of her lunch box.  Her lunch box is nylon and has been surface washed several times and the label still looks like new.  In addition this label came in handy very soon after we applied it, my daughter left her lunch box in the school office and was able to pick it up there the next day saving her lunch box from the smelly lost and found.  I will say that the label I placed in her backpack did not hold very long but want to say that I think that was entirely MY fault.  When I labeled it my daughter even told me that wasn't a good place to put it because she has to pull her 3inch 3 ring binder in and out of her backpack several times a day.  She scraped the label off with her binder.  I think I will use the iron on method next time for her backpack.  The other labels are holding strong. 

Overall I was very pleased with applied labels.  The printing and icon looks much better than my previous masking tape labels.  If you need labels check out :  Applied Labels LLC .  You may also want to follow them on twitter at @appliedlabels or like them on facebook.

 

Applied Labels you can help to make sure your child is able to make it home with their own belongings no matter where they are.  We all spend way to much on our children so why not insure our investment by labeling it.  Don't forget Applied Labels for: Day Cares, Mother's Day Out, Play Dates, School, Sports, Camp, etc.
