BetterGuard Mobile: Security & Privacy For Your Android Smartphone Review

As technology progresses, so does the need for a heightened level of security for our everyday electronic devices. A popular device used and commonly seen held in the hand of almost every individual is a mobile phone. The latest rage is the Android cellular phones, that are available from almost any cellular carrier. When a new line of phones is released, so is a new line of viruses and hacks, especially where the Android is concerned. The Android phone market has seen such a rise in popularity that there is a increased need for a application to protect the user's privacy and provide a high level of security. One of the best Android Privacy App, available for the low cost of $1.99 a month, is the BetterGuard Mobile App.

I've had five different Android phones, since the Android was released, and have tried numerous security and privacy apps, but none have provided such a intense sense of comfort and safety as this app. This app allows the user to find out what specific apps on their device are capable of accessing the users contact list, find out the individuals location, copy the person's cellular number and device id, and capable of submitting the users personal data to another location. BetterGuard Mobile will use a one to four bar scoring system to judge how dangerous an app on your phone is to violating your privacy.

After I scanned each app on my Android phone, I quickly removed all apps that showed a result of 3 to 4 bars. BetterGuard Mobile gives me back my privacy and provides me with an effective and genuine amount of security. If you have an Android device, I suggest you subscribe and try it out for yourself!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Cute and Fluffy Plushys Review

http://www.etsy.com/shop/cuteandfluffyplushys

When I was a child and I was crying because I had a rough day at school, there was always one thing that cheered me up every time...a new stuffed animal. If it was fluffy and cute then I was happy. I slept with them, decorated my childhood room with them, and took them for car rides. The best stuffed animals were the ones my great grandmother made for me as a child. They were the softest, plushest, must cuddly stuffed animals ever. I kept these homemade plushys in a keepsake box for my future children. Chase has come to a age where if he can chew on it then he loves it. I wanted to give him my plushys but I feel I should wait til he's in a less destructive age. I do want to give him Baby Mickey themed gifts for his upcoming first birthday party, so imagine how thrilled I was when browsing Etsy, I found a woman who makes homemade plushys just like the ones my great grandmother made for me as a child, and she had Baby Mickey plushys! I immediately sent a message asking if she'd be interested in a product review and she said yes! I could not wait for these items to arrive in the mail!

Chase of course just wanted to play with them when they arrived and I quickly had to double knot the bibs because he kept untying them. It took some effort to get him to stop playing with them long enough to take some pictures. I could not get over how cute and crafty these are. The woman makes the fabric plushys and what I call Pom Pom "pill" plushys from scratch. The prices vary depending on the item. For example, the Fabric Baby Mickey is available for $16.00 plus $12.00 for shipping. The Pom Pom "Pill" Baby Mickey is available for $10.00 plus $7.00 shipping.

The seller does offer combined shipping rates. In my opinion, the prices are fair for the amount of work, finesse, and detail put into them, plus they are top quality items, and safe for children to play with and chew on. The stitching is immaculate and flawless. These are not items that could be found anywhere else but online. They are the perfect personalized gift for a birthday, wedding, baby shower, or just everyday gift. There are a vast amount of characters, animals, and prints to choose from or a person can do a custom order as well. Once ordered, a tracking number is provided, and the item arrives in a box and bubble wrapped, so no damage will come to the item. The seller is a excellent and quick communicator, and is very friendly and willing to work with the buyer.

Chase loved these Mickey's and I plan on keeping them in his keepsake box once he is too old to play or be interested in them anymore. I can't wait to give these to him for his first birthday as gifts. I'm hoping he'll be a little less rough with the Mickey's then. He kept chewing and drooling all over them because he's teething. He also kept trying to figure out how to untie the bibs. Which is why he doesn't get to have them again until his birthday party. I hope he loves them and is as interested in them as he was when they came today. He could not stop giggling and when I took them away he cried.

I seriously could write for days about how soft these items are, how well made, how cuddly, and utterly lovable but I will end with saying check out Cute and Fluffy Plushys now! :-) You won't regret it, I promise :-)

Pixiebola Designs Review

http://www.etsy.com/shop/pixieboladesigns?page=1

In this current day and age technology runs our lives. We no longer go to various stores searching for bargains, we go to http://www.google.com, type in what we are looking for, and explore the results. We are also an environmentally conscious society.  We shop for organic products, we look to save paper, we check for animal cruelty free labels, we look for biodegradable products. Which is why http://www.etsy.com is such a amazing site, most shops feature invitations, banners, labels, candy wrappers, even ribbons, that can be put into PDF format, JPG format or into a ZIP file, emailed, and printed out numerous times. This not only saves time and money but also can be printed on whatever material is preferred by the purchaser. So an individual may use biodegradable, environmentally friendly paper without the extra cost of having the preferred item made. Instead, the person can purchase the design for a low price online and print it unlimited times. I use Etsy for everything but I'm very picky on whose stores I shop at and for what items. As my readers know, my family are huge Disney fans, and Chase's 1st birthday is coming up, it's Baby Mickey theme. I actually found a shop that sells literally everything I need for Chase's party and I can print all of it at home for a very low reasonable price.

The shop is called Pixiebola Designs and carries birth announcements, thank you cards, party decorations, wedding invites, birthday invites, baby shower invites, bridal shower invites, and posters/art.  All items are printable, custom made to order, and can be personalized, also if you go to http://www.facebook.com/pixiebolaDesigns and hit "like" you will receive 10% off your total purchase! The items range anywhere from $2.00 to $50.00 because all these items are printable you don't have to pay for shipping because the items are emailed to you!

I love that they offer a party bundle, for the low price of $25 to $30, that includes everything I need for Chase's party. Each party bundle consists of:
-2 different sets of Cupcake Wrappers
-Party Hat
-2 different sets of Tent Cards (Foldable Tent Labels 5" x 3.75" -when folded in half 2.5" x 3.75")
-2 different sets of Cupcake Toppers (can be used as tags)
-2 different sets of Water bottle wrappers
-Happy Birthday Banner
-Candy Wrapper
-2 different sets of Treat Bag Toppers.

This bundle can be printed out unlimited amounts of times and could not be any cuter. The fee charged is substantially less then what would be paid in stores. I give Pixiebola Designs a 10 out of 10 and recommend checking it out today!

Chase's Trip To The Zoo

Today my husband and I took Chase to Sacramento Zoo. This was Chase's 2nd zoo trip. The first time we took him he was three months and slept most of the zoo visit while I took countless photos. This zoo trip though Chase helped daddy feed the giraffes, he babbled to the monkeys, giggled at the tiger, and rode the carousel with mommy for the first time. I took many photos and apologize for not blogging or doing any reviews. Tomorrow we are taking Chase on his first trip to Sacramento River, for a picnic by the river. I plan on writing a few reviews and being more active once again on Wednesday and Thursday. I'm trying to spend a significant amount of time with my husband and son before my college semester begins again August 25th, while also meeting blog product review deadlines. Thank you for being loyal readers and so kind hearted.

Grammys Snugglys Review

Grammys Snugglys is a adorable Etsy shop that carries handmade washcloths, bibs, burp cloths, and made to order baby or toddler crib size 40"x60" flannel quilts/blankets. I received a Mickey Mouse washcloth to review and I have nothing but positive things to say about it! The material is medium thickness, incredibly soft, durable, just the right size, and has flawless stitching. When I opened the package, Chase immediately took the cloth from me and begin babbling and playing with it.

Chase decided the washcloth looks just like the little baby blankie he sleeps with and when I tried to take it from him he began to cry. I think it's because the material is extremely soft and has Mickey on it. He's used to the rough store bought washcloths. So the washcloth became a mini blankie, currently he's decided to sleep with it in his crib. Tonight I will be giving him his bath using the washcloth to teach him that this is not a security blanket, as he assumes. I love that this is soft on babies skin and won't chaf or hurt his sensitive baby body.

I will not be posting bath pictures because I am uncomfortable with posting photos of my child unclothed. Chase's bath went well, he's teething, so he spent half of his bath chewing and sucking on the wash cloth and half of his bath being washed with it. I've decided this will be his official bathing wash cloth because I prefer this material over the store bought material. The wash cloth absorbs water very well and is effective removing impurities from Chase's body.

The purchaser can request a custom order if the material or print is unavailable in what they prefer. The wash cloth may be purchased alone, in boy or girl print, or as a set that includes a wash cloth, burp cloth, and bib in a set for $17.97.

My son loves this wash cloth and enjoys it as a small personal blanket, as well as a wash cloth. He has yet to let it out of his sight since we received it in the mail yesterday. If you haven't checked out Tanya's shop at this point, go now! You won't be disappointed!

Worst migraine ever

I woke up this morning with the worst migraine and it still hasn't gone away! I planned on writing at least three product reviews today but I now must postpone these reviews. I get migraines that are so horrible that I have a prescription for Ibuprofen 800mg. Sadly my prescription had no effect today, nor did trying to sleep, nor a hot shower, nor having my parents take Chase for the day. I just want no light, no sound, and a cold ice pack on my eyes. I apologize to my followers and those waiting anxiously for me to write reviews for them. I promise to have them done by the end of next week hopefully. Thank you for understanding.

Looking to Adopt A Second Dog

My husband and I have decided that we would like to adopt a second dog. This dog has to be okay with babies and small children, small dogs, and very friendly. I'm leaning towards getting a Boxer but I would love to hear anyone's recommendations! We want a medium to large breed, short hair, well tempered, medium energy dog that does great with babies, small children, and small dogs. We plan on taking this dog to obedience classes and wish to adopt a puppy. Any advice or input would be fantastic. And if anyone knows any Sacramento or SF Bay Area breeders that come highly recommended please let me know as well!!! Thank you.
