Fiber One 50 Calorie Yogurt Review And Safeway $50 Giveaway
For the last few months I have been trying to eat a more healthy diet. This included cutting back on eating out at fast food restaurants. I have been clipping coupons and saving money by preparing budget friendly meals for my family.

One thing that I try to eat often that is affordable is yogurt. I have heard the benefits of yogurt so I have let it be one of those foods that are kind of guilt free for me. Have you heard of the new Fiber One Yogurts? Is is the only leading nonfat yogurt with only 50 calories and 5 grams of fiber. Don't forget it is also a good source of calcium and vitamins A and D. Again, I think this should be a guilt-free treat for many of us. Even best-selling author and food expert Lisa Lillien, Aka Hungry Girl has given the new Fiber One Yogurt her "seal of approval".

What I like about the yogurt is the variety. My all time favorite is the Key Lime Pie. Oh, so good! This yogurt is nice and creamy, just how I like it. Now through February 9th, the Safeway family of stores has a special deal where you can purchase two 4-packs of Fiber One yogurt for only $4! You should also take a peek at the other sales that Safeway is currently having. I seen the ad for my local Safeway today and will be taking a shopping trip there tomorrow.



Guess What? Thanks to My Blog Spark, I am able to offer one of my lucky readers a gift card to Safeway family of stores for $50.00. Now you could stock up on a ton of yogurt with that but of course you can purchase whatever you like with it!

Nipple Seal Review
If you have a child that packs around a bottle, you probably have experienced leaky bottles. I know that many bottles come with a top, but I always seem to lose them.  A solution that I have found is the Nipple Seal. This handy bottle accessory was created by a mother and a father who spent months looking for the perfect "bottle" products. The Nipple Seal has been designed to keep diaper bags, purses, furniture, strollers and carpets from getting soaked with fluids that drip from the bottles. I would have to say this is great for the car too! If you were to get in my SUV a few months ago, you would definitely know which side my son sat on. I have had many times that the diaper bag has tipped and caused a leaky bottle. The Nipple Seal will help if this should occur.

The Nipple Seal comes in a variety of colors too! There are currently 13 different strap colors you can choose from. I have the Brown With Polka Dots. I will definitely pass this on to a friend or family member when I am done with it because it has came in handy. Might make a great baby shower gift too! I know I like giving "unique baby shower gifts".

You can purchase the Nipple Seal by visiting: http://www.nippleseal.com

Until Next Time

Girls Night Cosmetics Review And Giveaway

One thing that this Diva here loves is cosmetics and bath and body supplies. I can't ever have enough products that make me feel good and even smell good when I use them. You would understand my love for these types of products if you just happened to see my bathroom just once. I got shelves of it. I also have three daughters so lets say it my stuff gets used.

Last week I received a package from Girls Night Cosmetics. This is a brand NEW company that recently just launched that has a goal to bring mothers and daughters together with a cute product line that is geared towards the tween age group. They have a focus of bringing mothers and daughters together through fun parties and of course the cute and fun product line.


I received some of their cute little bottles of their Girls Night Nail Polish. Don't you know that I had to put some on my toes right after taking them out of the package. The polish seems to be lasting long too without chipping. That is a PLUS! The colors of the nail polish are very pretty. I think my daughter Ariyona might want to claim them though!

The Girls Night Cosmetics have more than these cute little bottles of nail polish. They have bath beads, bath salts, bath fizz powder, bath tints, bath confetti, bath bombs, lip balm, soap, body balms, lotion bar & more. All of the products are not on the website yet, but they look amazing in the catalog. I am sure my daughter is going to be hinting for things she wants when she gets her hand on the catalog.

If you are looking for a way to make money at home, they offer a representative program. I am not sure on the details, but you can visit the site to find out more information.

Guess What? Girls Night Cosmetics is offering one of my LUCKY readers the chance to WIN a 7 pack of these cute nail polishes. This would make a great gift too!

ID On Me Review

If you have small children, you are most likely like me when it comes to taking them into BIG crowds, nervous. Every year we try to go to the California State Fair. There are thousands of people there and I am always nervous whenever my kids are not right by my side. Even when they get older, you worry about their safety.

Check out these alarming stats:

  • 1,315,600 children were missing from their caregivers during 1999 (OJJDP, 2002). That is over 3600 missing children every day, one every 24 seconds. Of these, 797,500 were reported missing to the police or other agencies, and 198,000 were lost or injured.
  • Every day, more than 39,000 children are injured seriously enough to require medical treatment, more than 14 million children each year (National SAFE KIDS Campaign, 2002).
  • During the year 2000, 387,000 bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages were injured in accidents, 129,000 of them traffic related (USDOT/FHWA, 2003).

One thing that I have that helps me feel a little better about this type of situation is some very neat ID bracelets we received from ID On Me to review. These are fashionable little bracelets that have a spot that opens that holds a piece of paper with important information. These bracelets are comfortable and also water resistant. You can put emergency information, medical and family contact information in them that would be needed in case of an emergency. 

These ID bracelets are not just for children. They are adjustable which means they are for adults too. They come in a large variety of colors. They are great for kids and travel outdoor enthusiasts. Each bracelet comes with 4 information inserts in case the information needs to be changed or updated.

So now when we go to the fair this year or any other place that I might be concerned about, my children will be sporting their ID On Me bracelets. Take a peek at the variety below....

 
Pretty neat huh? A mom just like me (Marie Fishman), designed these handy bracelets when her sons were young. She wanted to be able to have something her boys could wear all the time that would contain all her contact information. She has also deliberately kept her prices low on the bracelets to help those large families with a limited income have the ability to purchase these.

You can purchase the ID On Me Bracelets by visiting: http://www.idonme.com/

Make Money With Big Crumbs - FREE Membership

For those that shop online, I found another site that allows you to earn cash back while shopping online. This site is called Big Crumbs. Membership is FREE and when you join, you have access to exclusive deals and can earn cash back at top retailers and member stores. I can't believe I have not joined this one sooner. Not only do you earn money on your purchases, you EARN MONEY for referring others and make money with they shop.

What is neat about this program is they give you the option when you join to become a Crumb Saver or a Crumb Earner. If you don't plan on referring people and plan to earn money back by shopping, you would want to choose the Crumb Earner because you earn a higher percentage back. The Crumb Earners are those like me who want to try to earn money by referring others to the site to earn. So with this program, you can MAKE MONEY by others purchases as well as your own.

Another bonus with Big Crumbs is the large number of BIG merchants involved. If you are an eBay seller, you have access to promotional tools that allow you to post deals and listings directly to members of the site.

My daughter Hannah who is now in kindergarten just turned in her first batch of Box Tops a couple weeks ago and was so thrilled when the librarian gave her a Tinkerbell bookmark, pencil and eraser.

    White Sands Review

    I am one of those women that HAVE to shampoo and condition my hair every single day if not twice a day. I had a hair stylist that used to tell me to do this only every other day. NO WAY! I have to have my hair feel clean at all times. I am also picky when it comes to what shampoos and conditioners I use. 

    This past week I have been using a shampoo and conditioner by White Sands. This is a company that uses ingredients that create heat shields that protect your hair from UV Rays and thermal stress. They also blend botanicals such as Heliogenol, lemon grass and chamomile to provide hair color protection as well as enhancement. 

    The shampoo that I have been using is their Hydrating Shampoo. This product has a very pleasant fragrance and a little goes a long way. It has been developed to delicately cleanse your hair while maintaining an essential moisture balance for extremely dry and thirsty hair. 

    I also have been using the Hydrating Conditioner. Again, this one has the same pleasant smell and I was able to use a small amount on my hair. It is a light weight creme that is enriched with essential moisture to help those with dry hair. The real test was when I got out and brushed my hair. Yes, it was soft and manageable. I am definitely giving this conditioner a thumbs up.

    White Sands offers a whole line of products for your hair. If you are a Diva like me, you are going to want to check out their stuff. Not only do they carry shampoo and conditioner, they have styling sprays, styling products, treatments, accessories and more. 

    You can view all of the awesome White Sands products by visiting: http://www.whitesandsproducts.com
