Isotoner smarTouch Gloves Review

by

The cold weather is definitely here! Lately, it has been the time to break out the scarfs and gloves, definitely in the mornings over in my area lately. One thing that is really handy are gloves when the weather is cold. If you are like me and have a Smartphone, sometimes you have to take your gloves off to use your phone.

Then came a pair of  ISOTONER smarTouch® Gloves and now I can do both. I can keep my hands warm with these gloves and use my phone at the same time too!   I can now officially play Angry Birds when it is cold!

These gloves are compatible with most touchscreen devices including smartphones, mp3 players, ATM’s, gas pumps and GPS devices. Both the thumb and index finger on the gloves are embroidered with a conductive thread that conveys an electrical impulse to the touchscreen. This unique patent pending construction gives these gloves exceptional performance, allowing for pinpoint accuracy. They are also water repellent!

These will make a great gift for the holidays, especially a great stocking stuffer!

Tervis Tumbler Review

by Leave a Comment

When I am at home, I can be picky on what cup I drink my beverages in. I don’t know why, but I just am.  This past month I received a set of tumblers from Tervis and I am in love. I think I have found my new FAVORITE kind of cup!

If you are like me, you probably hate when you go to grab a cup to take a sip and there is a bunch of condensation on your cup and your hands get wet. This has been always one of my pet peeves when it comes to drinking a beverage at my desk. In the past I have gotten my keyboard and mouse wet from cups I been drinking out of.

The Tervis Tumblers that I received are awesome! What makes them special to me is that they are insulated and keep my drinks both hot and cold. These cups come in a variety of sizes and designs. You will be impressed with just how many variations of these cups that they offer. I especially like the Tervis products for kids. The tumblers that we received have lids that close. For me, this saves on quite a few spills at my house with my son always running around with a cup of milk or water in his hand.

Here are some additional fun features about these cups:

  • Provide double insulation so there is no condensation
  • Keeps your cold drinks cold and your hot drinks hot
  • Virtually unbreakable

To make these even better, the Tervis tumblers come with a Lifetime Guarantee!  They are designed so they don’t break, melt, crack, chip or shatter. If for some reason you have a tumbler that breaks, you will be able to receive a replacement. Since I have a house that has a ton of tile, I think I am liking that these come with a guarantee!

The Littlest Angel DVD Review + Trailer + Free Activity Booklet

by 2 Comments

Since the kids are on vacation this week, I have been busy finding fun movies for them to watch to keep them entertained. We received a copy of The Littlest Angel on DVD to review and I have to say that this is such a cute movie for the younger children.  This is a story of a young boy who arrives in heaven before it is his time. He his home-sick, lonely and has to travel back to earth to retrieve a gift for The Baby Jesus.

“This is a story that has made so many people happy over the years,” says Lance Thompson, one of the producers of the film. “We’ve added some new elements to this production, but this is still The Littlest Angel everyone remembers from their childhood, and one that parents will enjoy introducing to their kids. I think Tazewell would enjoy knowing his work lives on.”

It’s a modern twist on the timeless tale of an Angel that discovers the greatest gifts in life are faith, friendship and doing the right thing. This new version of The Littlest Angel features wonderful animation and great vocal talent, including Ron Perlman (“Beauty and The Beast,” Tangled), and is sure to become a holiday favorite, much like the book it’s based on. The Littlest Angel is a motion picture that will put a smile on everyone’s face, and what better gift is there than that.

This movie just came out onto DVD on the 15th and would make for a great gift for the holidays. I love the animation in this movie and love that it is based on a best-selling children’s book! This DVD has so many cute scenes that made the kids and I giggle!

Give Cheers With Cheerios To Our Military Families

by 8 Comments

I am one of those that believes in supporting our troops. Even though I am not in the military, I have family that has served. Lets just say that I appreciate all the things that our troops have done for us.

Cheerios and USO is helping everyone give some Cheer to our deserving military families with specially marked boxes of Cheerios. This month you will find boxes of Cheerios on the shelves of the store that have special “Cheer” postcards that you can cut out. These are already pre-addressed to the USO, so all is needed is a friendly greeting to be written on the card and a stamp. Remember, these are only available on shelves through November 2011, but you can mail the card anytime you want!

We received a couple boxes of these specially marked Cheerios and some extra “Cheer” postcards. I had my three daughters decorate three of the postcards that I received from Mom Central for this campaign. I had to decorate 2 myself because I wanted to send some cheer too! So today, I sent off 5 decorated postcards with our mailman for the military families that definitely deserve some extra cheers this holiday!

You can help too! Cheerios is going to be donating $1 to the USO for each of the “Cheer” postcards that they receive from specially marked boxes through November 2012. To kick off this awesome program, Cheerios has already donated $150,000 to the USO. They also plan to donate up to an additional $100,000 based upon the number of postcards that are received. These donations will help to support USO programs that help support our military families.

I wrote this review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Cheerios and received product samples to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to post.
