Slicker Dog Grooming With Free Flea Comb And Bag Review

The dog grooming brush helps to eliminate dog fur shedding and reduce future shedding. I've always been very picky with what products I use on my puppy. I want only the best for my little furbaby. She is a hound mix and currently weighs forty five pounds. She has very short hair and I never previously noticed her shedding. When I brushed her with the brush she was very calm and began to fall asleep. I was very surprised to see how much fur the brush collected. She also itched quite a bit less afterwards. My dog's fur is too short for tangles but the product does promise to remove matting and tangles. I do believe that it removed dead fur and dead skin cells because my puppy went from constantly itching herself to little to no itching. She has extremely short fur so I wasn't able to judge if it made her coat appear fuller. I did notice her coat appeared much shinier.

I currently treat my puppy with Advantage ii for fleas, ticks, mosquitoes, and biting flies. I have never found any of these on or in my puppy's fur. The bonus flea comb is exactly like the flea comb my vet uses. I was easily able to check for fleas without worrying about causing my puppy discomfort. Which aids in proving how effective her flea preventive is.

Both items fit in a very nice storage bag to keep both products clean and if you're like me...keeps them from getting misplaced or lost!

I really have nothing to negative to report about this product. I love using it and my dog looks forward to me brushing her fur now.

The RollinPets Slicker Dog Grooming Brush, Removes Loose Undercoat Quickly And Pain-Free INCLUDES FREE Flea Comb by RollinPets can be purchased on Amazon.com for the low price of 19.99.

Grocery and Shopping Cart Cover by Croc N Frog Review

First of all the stroller hooks are genius! I used them to secure the cart cover on the shopping cart. I was being crafty! My daughter couldn't figure out how to break it or to pull it off the cart. She eventually gave up and willingly sat on it during our shopping trip. 

It's well padded too. Which is great because sitting on shopping cart bars doesn't sound pleasant. 

I also love the cart cover because it prevents my daughter from coming in contact with nasty shopping cart germs. 

The design of the cart cover is gender neutral and adorable as well. 

I like that this cart cover fits on all shapes of carts. My previous cart cover would not fit on Walmart or Target shopping carts because they were too wide.

I also use this cart cover when I go to a relatives house for my daughter to lay on and play with toys.

 I use it as a changing pad cover in store bathrooms too.

This cart cover can be purchased on Amazon.com for the low price of $26.98.

Food Grade Silicone Slow Feeder for Dogs Review

Recently, I was sent the pink silicone slow feeder from the company DevotedDoggy. When I first received the product all I could think is my puppy is going to think this is a chew toy. 

Much to my surprise, Dolche enjoyed her new dog food feeder. She carefully ate around the ridges. She didn't try to chew the feeder at all. She actually chewed her food instead of swallowing whole pieces.

Dolche ended up eating all of her food. It took twice as long as her normal food dish because she was actually chewing her food and taking the time to eat around the ridges.

She ended up taking a nap after she consumed all of her food. She is a very active eight month old puppy and I was more than happy to let her sleep after her mini workout.

The box also contains a bonus travel bowl. It easily folds down flat and can be popped back up.

These items were super simple to clean. I just put them in the top rack of my dishwasher with my other dishes. When I took them out they were good as new. 

I love that this product is made from FDA food grade silicone because this material will not damage my dog's nose or retina. I also like how firmly it sticks to my kitchen floor. My dog could not move it. Third, I love that it helps promote healthy and safe eating. My dog has to chew her food slowly and this helps prevent bloat, obesity, and regurgitation.

The Devoted Doggy Food Grade Silicone Interactive #slowfeeder - Anti-gulping Bloat Stop - Foldable Travel Bowl Included can be purchased on Amazon.com for the low price of $7.95. It comes in either pink or green. It contains both the feeder and the travel bowl.

Why there have been no recent reviews

While I am not one for creating false excuses as to why I have not been writing any recent reviews, I am one to clearly state facts explaining why this travesty has occurred.

My son has a learning delay and due to the circumstances surrounding this I have been pressed by many educators at his school to devote my time to assisting in his learning environment on campus. I have also received requests to work with him outside of school, as well, to ensure he is on par with the other children. I am also striving to prove that my son is special; but can adapt and exist in a regular preschool atmosphere, without requiring placement in a special needs classroom.

The Butte Fire raging in California is a mere 20-30 minutes from where my house is located. I am constantly checking to make sure that I do not need to evacuate my home. I have already packed what I may need for my children, my husband, our pets, and myself if our house gets evacuated.

While these may sound like mediocre excuses to many, I am hoping to have a few who understand where I am coming from. Please do not mistake this as my resignation from writing reviews. I have a list of reviews I still need to write and products that I need to promote. I plan on doing so as soon as possible. I am not one to fail my fans and the companies trusting me to get their name out.

I do sincerely apologize for any inconveniences that I may have caused.

Reflective LED Safety Belt Review

I really like that I can charge this with a USB. I also love how highly reflective it is. I now feel safe walking my dog at night and taking her outside to do her business at night. My husband likes that he can work outside in the dark and not worry about being missed by passerby. I also like how widely adjustable in size it is.

Bellemain Thermal Slow Cooker Carrying Bag Review

When invited to gatherings, where bringing a dish is suggested, I am always eager to "show off." This involves finding the perfect slow cooker recipe and hoping the food safely makes it to the gathering. The Bellemain Thermal Slow Cooker Carrying Bag eliminates the concern of my slow cooker leaking or my food not staying hot. It's insulated, so food stays hot or cold. It zips shut and is easy to open and close. The bag opening is large enough to insert and remove my slow cooker without any issues. It also has extremely heavy duty carrying straps that aren't about to snap or fall off. The carrying bag does have a downside, it only fits 6 quart Hamiliton Beach brand slow cookers. I wish the company would release a bag that is universal to all brands. I do like that the bag comes in two different sizes. The consumer can either purchase size medium for the Hamilton Beach Set 'n Forget Slow Cooker, 6-Quart Model 33969A or size large for the Hamilton Beach 33967 Set 'n Forget 6-Quart Slow Cooker. If you have either of these models, then this little gem is definitely a must have!

Shaidee & Shaidee Bug Review

It is always a conflict when my son is worn out at the zoo and wishes to be carried, rather then be in his stroller. He's still in the weight range to fit in my Beco Baby Carrier. So I often carry him in that. On hot days he becomes agitated though because there is no shade available. When I was asked to review the Shaidee & Shaidee Bug, I was ecstatic. I love that the Shaidee keeps the sun out of my child's eyes and I love that the Shaidee Bug keeps the bugs out too. My only conflict is I believe both products are meant for smaller babies. It's obvious in how tall the products are in height. I wish they came in different size heights. I did find both products to be very effective. I just wish they came in different heights.

Stroller Organizer Review

I love that this fits all of my necessities inside of it. It also attaches very easily. I have a Graco Ready2Grow Classic Connect LX Stand & Ride Stroller. As much as I love how well my stroller holds my infant and my toddler, it does have limited storage access when both are in the stroller. The Super Stroller Organizer eliminates this dilemma by giving me ease of access and comfortable space to store items I need to have 24.7 access to. It truly is a genius product and one I highly recommend.

Immortal Sleep Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Do you find yourself tossing and turning at night? Have you tried everything under the sun and still can't fall asleep? Well look no farther because I have found quite the little gem of a product!

The product is called Immortal Sleep. They are all natural sleeping pills in a gel capsule form. These pills are a herbal remedy that are often used by Chinese doctors. Chinese doctors use these pills to treat insomnia associated with palpitation, amnesia, and stress. The active ingredients in these pills are zizyphus, L-theanine, and natural herbs.

I, myself, suffer from insomnia due to stress and anxiety. I have tried many different store sleep aids but none have had immediate or desired effects. It's almost as if my body fights the sleep aids. These pills are the first capsules that I have had do exactly as they say they will do. I take three capsules thirty minutes prior to bed. After about twenty minutes I find myself feeling calm and relaxed. After thirty I fall into a deep sleep. I tend to wake up eight to ten hours later. When I awaken I do not feel tired, light headed, or woozy. I feel refreshed and ready to start my day.

I also notice that I am happier and much less moody. I no longer feel irritable, unfocused, and easily agitated. I can take care of my child now with the patience and kindness that my son deserves. It feels great being able to function like a normal human being again!

The Immortal Herbs company is so confident about their product that they offer a ninety day money back guarantee! A bottle of Immortal Sleep can be purchased for the low price of $34.95. The bottle consists of 90- 500 mg capsules. Immortal Sleep can be purchased at: www.immortalherbs.com

Product To Review: Sprout Cups

Before my son, Chase, was born I researched buying baby food jars versus making baby food at home. I quickly came to notice that the benefits of making baby food at home far outweighed those of purchasing jars of food. So I went and purchased a bullet to make Chase's food with and, until he was eating solids, used the bullet to make his baby food at home. I used tupperware to store his food. I wish I had known about these Sprout Cups then because gosh they are handy.

Sprout Cups come in a pack of six and come in sizes 2 oz. or 4oz. They also come with a handy tray and a dry erase marker. They lids screw on and don't pop off like many other containers. The dry erase marker enables parents to easily record what the container contains and the date it was made. Best of all, these cups are microwave, freezer, and dishwasher safe. These cups also are BPA and PVC free.

The cups can easily be interlocked with one another and also to their tray. Both sizes of these cups can be purchased on Amazon for the low price of $14.95. These cups are great for parents and safe for baby. I cannot stop raving about these to all my new mom and mom-to-be friends. I will definitely be using these with my second baby.

Sambazon Superfood Smoothie Review

I was recently given the opportunity to try Sambazon Superfood Smoothies with my mom's group. The group consists of me and six mom friends. The group also includes our infants and toddlers. I was given five coupons. We all went to the grocery store together to select which five flavors to try. We decided to try the flavors: Acai Blueberry and Pomegranate, Energy Mocha Java, Protein Acai Berry and Chocolate, Acai Berry and Vanilla, and Supergreens Kale and Ginger.

The Acai Blueberry and Pomegranate tasted very sweet and fruity. My almost two year old had a sip and he wanted more. All the mom's agree that this is a great smoothie to drink with or as breakfast.

The Energy Mocha Java tasted like Starbucks. One mom came up with the great idea to pour it over ice. So it was just like drinking iced coffee. We also immediately felt more awake and alert.

The Protein Acai Berry and Chocolate tasted like a fruity chocolate shake. Our group kept calling this candy because it tasted just like a candy bar.

The Acai Berry and Vanilla was a bit boring and overly sweet for me. I added caramel to my little Dixie cup. The other mom's liked it though and said it tasted like a vanilla smoothie.

The Supergreens Kale and Ginger was something unique and different. It tasted very similar to the Odwalla version. It isn't a flavor I would drink on a regular basis. It was very bland and tasted like diet food. One of the mom's is on a juice diet though and just loved it.

A little about Sambazon:

In the Sacramento, CA area; Sambazon can be purchased at Raley's, Belair, Sprout's, Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market, Costco, and Wal-Mart Supercenters.

Product To Review: Eclipse® Sun Sleeves

I recently was given the opportunity to test out a genius new product called Eclipse Sun Sleeves. If you're like me, then you have sensitive skin that burns even after applying thick layers of SPF 75 sunblock. So when I was asked to try this product I was happy to oblige. These sleeves are designed to cover the backs of hands and your arms because both are very vulnerable to sun exposure. They are very light, soft, and stretchy. I often forgot I was even wearing them. I would wear a short sleeve top and have these underneath to make them look trendy and not out of place. They really do work! I am burn free! Now if only they would create tanning sleeves!

These sun products come in two options. You can either purchase sun sleeves or sun gloves. Both are available at Amazon.com and at eclipsesunsleeves.com. These sleeves come in multiple colors and sizes for the low price of $26.99. 

All Eclipse Sun Products are made of sun guard performance fabric. They are UPF 50+ and block at least 98% of UV rays. They are quick drying, odor resistant, and they are great for both warm and cold weather. One thing I love is on hot  and humid days these didn't stick to my skin or make me over heated. They are very lightweight and sweat resistant. I also like how soft they are because I hate itchy fabrics. The fabric is made of very sheer polyester/spandex. The best part is that these are machine washable! After using them, just wash and tumble dry, and they are ready to be worn again!

Another nifty note is that I was able to wear my driving gloves over the hand portion covering of the sleeve. I have a leather steering wheel that heats up quickly in the heat. So wearing my driving gloves is a must. 

The hand portion covering also keeps my hands and palms from getting clammy and sweaty from the heat. I love love love this product. I have nothing but great things to say and I highly recommend you try it today!
