Chase had to go to the ER

My son Chase was sitting playing with his baby toys and fell forward onto tile (we have no carpet) and when I went to pick him up his mouth was all bloody. I freaked. My husband is away at work until Sunday, so I called my mom to go with me to the ER. We had to go to ER because it was after Chase's doctor's hours. After a hour wait, that consisted of me holding the boo boo bear ice pack to Chase's mouth, we were finally admitted. Luckily, he just has a bunch of abrasions and no lacerations. The doctor said to just keep giving Chase ice and Tylenol, that he should heal quickly. Chase now has his first fat lip, it looks like he got into a fight. I'm just glad he didn't need stitches and that there is no permanent damage.

Fancy That Creation Review

Although I have a son, I adore receiving girl products to review and give to my nieces. I have a two month old niece and a two year old niece. I received, from this very glamorous Etsy shop called Fancy That Creation, a Pink and Black double layered tutu, a stretchy pink headband, a bow clip to attach to headband, a black flower with a rhinestone in the center clip to attach to the headband, and a Mickey Mouse wipes holder. I planned on taking all but the wipes holder to my nieces yesterday but sadly they both have terrible colds. Thank goodness for keepsake boxes! I took out one of my childhood dolls and dressed her in the tutu and headband. I still plan on gifting all the items but the wipes holder to my nieces once they feel well.

As you can view in the above photo, Isabella is wearing a double layered bubblegum pink and black tutu with a wildly cute pink cheetah ribbon. The tutu adjusts in the front, just untie the cheetah bow, place around child's waist, and retie cheetah bow. I love how frilly, gauzy and fairytale princess like it is. The tutu's are priced starting at $15 and going up to $25. Shipping for all items ranges from $2 to $4.

The pink headband on Isabella's head is a stretchy elastic headband that hair clip accessories can easily be attached to, to add glitz and glam. In this photo, the black flower with the sparkly white rhinestone is attached to the band. I love how soft the band itself is and how wide it stretches.

Seen in the photo above is Isabella wearing the pink stretchy elastic headband again but this time she has the floral bow clip attached. I just love girly girl accessories!

Last but not least is the Mickey Mouse wipes holder. I love Mickey. My son has a Mickey nursery and has Disney everything. I was extremely pleased to receive a Disney item that is not only adorable but a much needed item to be found in any diaper bag. Wipes Cases make it much easier to find wipes when frantically trying to search for wipes through a diaper bag and watch your child at the same time. This case is very well made and could easily be found in a retail store for twice the price or more. The material is soft and vibrantly colored. The case easily opens and shuts without a struggle. Wipes Cases are available at Fancy That Creation for $10 with $2 shipping.

If a pattern or design is desired but cannot be found on Fancy That Creation site. I'm sure you could send her a request and she'll try her best to fulfill your needs. Please check out Fancy That Creation today at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/Fancythatcreation

Katherine Paige Design Review

The best part of my week is getting product review items in the mail, I'm like a little kid on Christmas day, what could it be! This week I received the most adorable cupcake wrappers in the mail! The newest fad for parties is to bake cupcakes and then place them (after baking) in cupcake wrappers, that can either be homemade or store bought or of course Etsy bought. As everyone knows, I am a huge Disney fan, so imagine how happy I was when a few of the wrappers were Mickey Mouse themed!!!

 

I checked everywhere for Mickey wrappers for Chase's party. I practically clapped my hands in glee. Katherine Paige Design was kind enough to send me a wide variety of cupcake wrappers. I didn't get a chance to use them but I plan on using them in October for my 25th birthday and for Chase's birthday in January. 

Katherine Paige Design offers a wide variety of cupcake wrappers, as well as cupcake toppers, paper cakes, various event invitations, and supplies/paper.

Cupcake wrappers are available anywhere from $3.00 to $16.50. These wrappers are self closing and do not require a sealant. They are made on thick custom designed paper. These wrappers will fit any standard size cupcake. You do not place the wrapper over the top of the cupcake, you place the cupcake in the wrapper, not the wrapper over the cupcake. These are very simple to use, just place the cupcake in the wrapper, and serve to guests!

Katherine Paige Design can change the colors of most of the custom print wrappers to compliment a customer's event and even custom design additional items- they recently did a 1st year photo banner and an "I am 1" banner to match the cupcake invitations. They will also look for paper to match your theme, so if you don't see what you're looking for, just ask. The other items offered vary in price according to the item desired and custom orders are accepted. Please check them out today at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/KatherinePaigeDesign

Excelerol Review

Excelerol is a dietary supplement that boosts brain activity by increasing concentrating and alertness. I received a 30 capsule box and it suggests taking 1 to 2 capsules a day. First of all, I love that these pills are animal product free, wheat free, egg free, gelatin free, and dairy free. I don't consume animal products and I'm also lactose intolerant, so I always have to read all product labels very carefully. I tried this product by taking one pill a day in the morning with a meal and a glass of water for two weeks. I found that as long as I ate and drank water with the pill I was fine but if I didn't I constantly had to use the restroom or I felt shaky. I am a full time stay at home mom who has adult ADHD, needless to say I was very hopeful to see results! The first day I felt like I drank a very potent energy drink, I had to remain busy constantly because I had all kinds of energy and my mind was racing a mile a minute.

The next day, I sat down to write out Chase's schedule for my friend who would be watching him during my morning gym session, and for once my thoughts were on task, focused, and clear. It was awesome! Normally, I carry post it notes with me throughout the day because I have horrible memory and will sometimes even zone out and forget where I am. I was able to remember everything all day without making one single note! I had better memory, better focus, and lots of energy to get daily tasks done without running out of steam. I considered that this could be me wanting the product to do as the package says until this kept on occurring for the entire two weeks I took it. While it is expensive, a 30 capsule box is available on Amazon or Excelerol's website for $49.99, I definitely would say it is worth it if you can't seem to focus, keep your thoughts organized, and have trouble remembering various things.

I've taken nutrition classes because they are a requirement for my nursing program and I am pleased to say that I recognized over half of the ingredients without cheating and checking my book or Google. It's always a good feeling when you aren't struggling to pronounce a products ingredients and have to constantly check online to see if it's a okay ingredient or not. The pills themselves are medium sized, easy to swallow, and liquid vcaps (similar to gel caps). They also leave no nasty aftertaste or residue. If they were to fall, they would be very easy to find because they are lime green and navy blue colored.

Although Excelerol has PS from Soy there are no Soy Proteins, which is typically what those with soy allergies are specifically allergic to, so it's safe to use for those worried because they are allergic to soy. You should definitely speak with a doctor before taking this pill if you are pregnant or nursing or have serious health conditions. This product is not available in stores and can only be purchased at http://www.excelerol.
com  and at http://www.amazon.com. This is a product meant for adults and should not be given or left within reach of children or babies. I hope you will try this product and let me know if your results were as great as mine!

OMGaparty Review

I originally had taken many photos of the samples I received but it appears my husband has misplaced the samples and the photos. I am not pleased with this but he was unaware of the importance of what he misplaced, so he was forgiven. I will instead be writing a review and posting photos from OMGaparty Etsy shop of the samples I received. I received in the mail the following Baby Mickey themed items: Baby Mickey Mouse Party Bags & Tags, Baby Mickey Mouse Cupcake toppers and Cupcake Wrappers, Baby Mickey Lollipops, and Baby Mickey Mouse Personalized Candy Bar Wrappers.

The Baby Mickey Party Bags and tags (when purchased for $5.80 for a set of eight plus $2.00 shipping) consists of a full set of eight clear party favor bags, eight ties with eight baby mickey tags (as viewed in photo). The bags are large enough to fit a large handful of candy or small children's toys, or any other small to medium size favor(s). These bags are sturdy, strong, high quality, and very durable. The twisties blend in with the bag, so they don't awkwardly stand out. The tags are perfect for any Baby Mickey themed event and are well crafted and adorable. The back of each tag says "Thank You For Coming".  If more then one set of eight is needed then the seller may be contacted to discuss your needs and wants.

The Baby Mickey Cupcake Wrappers and Cupcake Toppers includes eight cupcake wrappers and eight cupcake toppers for the low price of $8.00 plus $2.00 for shipping. The cupcake wrappers come with glue dots to seal the wrappers with. The cupcake toppers are Baby Mickey tags glued to cupcake topper sticks. These items take boring vanilla store bought cupcakes and add some serious pizazz! They take your party from blah to wow in seconds! I highly recommend them and of course as always if more then one set of eight is needed then please contact the seller with your requirement specifications.

At parties, once the snack table has been consumed, guests quickly search for the dessert table. What cuter dessert could be offered then a kid and adult friendly lollipop featuring Baby Mickey? These Baby Mickey Lollipops can be purchased for the low price of $10.00 for a set of eight plus $3.00 for shipping. If more then one set of eight are needed then the seller welcomes potential buyers to contact her with all questions, needs, and details. Each lollipop is hidden inside a lollipop size Baby Mickey Candy Wrapper with a super cute ribbon tied around the lollipop sticks. The lollipop flavors do vary. If desired, a personalization may be added to the back of the lollipop wrappers.

After the party ends, it is common to have a table featuring favor bags and/or thank you for coming gifts. One great gift idea is regular sized candy bars but rather then stack twenty 1.55 Oz. Hershey bars on the table, why not spice it up a bit and place each 1.55 Oz. Hershey bar in a Personalized Baby Mickey Candy Bar Wrapper? For the ultimate low price of just $8.00 for a set of eight plus $2.50 shipping, this dream can be made a reality! You can have the party that everyone is talking and gossiping about in a positive manner! Each wrapper features any personalization that the buyer desires, a sweet Baby Mickey tag, and a ribbon that the Baby Mickey tag is attached to.

OMGaparty does not only sell Baby Mickey themed party items, they also have over eighty other characters and themes to choose from. They are a great shop with reasonably priced items that take your party from forgettable to epic!!! Check them out today at: http://www.etsy.com/shop/OMGaparty

Clean Your Blow Dryer or Burn!!!!

Hubby, Chase, and I just arrived home. Monday we went to Tahoe and Reno. Tuesday we went to Tracy and Patterson. Hubby, Chase, and I are super sleepy. Backtracking...Sunday the Rainbow vacuum salesman came to show off his product because if my younger sister talked four friends or family members into permitting this man to do a hour long demonstration she received a prize. Granted I was not about to purchase a twenty five hundred dollar vacuum, despite all its gizmos and benefits. The gentleman did make an intriguing comment though, he asked if I ever cleaned my blow dryer, when I gave him a strange look, he responded that a blow dryer needs cleaned just as often as a vacuum. Of course, I had to Google this, and he was right! Apparently if a blow dryer is not cleaned at least twice a month than dust and grime builds up and this can cause the blow dryer to spark or start a fire! Let's just say I freaked out. I followed the ehow instructions on how to clean blow dryers to prevent fires. I quickly, while my husband watched me curiously, removed the grill that is on the back of the blow dryer (with the blow dryer unplugged and away from anything wet). When you remove the grill you notice that, just like a vacuum, there is a filter that intakes everything...like a vacuum. One can only imagine how gross this thing looked. I then grabbed one of the toothbrushes, my dentist is so kind to gift me after every visit, and brushed away the dust, the hair, and the unidentifiable substances inside the filter and on top of the filter screen. I, being little miss germ-a-phobe, then took a baby wipe and wiped down the outside of the blow dryer as well. I waited for this to fully dry before I used the blow dryer. Before I cleaned my blow dryer, it smelled like burnt hair or someone getting a perm (when it was being used), but after I cleaned it the blow dryer gave off no odor what-so-ever (when it was being used). I guess a blow dryer is supposed to be cleaned 2-4 times a month. I wanted to post this on my blog because I wasn't sure if I was the only woman unaware that blow dryers need cleaned. Plus nobody wants to see sparks fly (unless it's romantic sparks) or a fire burning down their restroom!

Reno Bound!!!

I have three Etsy shop reviews and two company reviews currently waiting on my desk to be photographed and written. I also have about ten product reviews that are being shipped to me. I try to provide everyone with the best reviews my mind can type up but like any human being I sometimes require a break. My husband began to notice I was a bit moodier then usual and suggested we go on a mini low cost vacation. Neither of us have been to Reno before, so we are taking Chase on an adventure and driving there tomorrow. I'm hoping for low stress, low cost, relaxation, and fun. Sadly, one of our rules is no cell phones unless it's an emergency and no other electronic devices. This means no blogging or playing on my Kindle or any other common distractions. I will be returning Wednesday night and hopefully writing up a few wonderful reviews. I appreciate everyones patience and understanding. Be back soon!!!
