There are many days when it is sunny outside that you will catch me wearing long sleeves. Not because I am cold, because I want to protect my sun from the skin. There are so many people that have skin cancer or going to get skin cancer that is scares me. I used to use a tanning booth to get color on my skin until I read a magazine article on a flight home last year about a young lady that got skin cancer from continuous use of those lights in the tanning bed.

Coppertone has a product out on the market called Tattoo Guard that contains UVA/UVB sunscreen to help protect against UV rays that can fade or blur tattoos. If you have a tattoo that you like, you will probably tell me that it hurt getting it. You probably also don’t want that tattoo to fade, especially if you spent a pretty penny on it. Tattoos can be expensive and with exposure to the sun, can fade and not look so pretty.

You can currently purchase the Tattoo Guard from Coppertone in both the lotion for and sunscreen stick. Here are some of the features you might want to know:

When it comes to plastic storage containers, I absolutely LOVE Tupperware. This is one of those brands that have been around my entire life. Its one of those brands where you think of the word Tupperware when you see plastic storage containers, even if it that plastic container was made by another company.

When I was younger I used to sell Tupperware. Sometimes there were months where I probably bought more than I sold. Even though I really enjoyed selling the product, I had to stop because it was too expensive for me. I wanted at least one of all their products. Right now I am loving their new product lines that they have now. But don’t get me wrong, I would be excited if my grandma gave me all her Tupperware she has had for years.

Tupperware Brands has incorporated new technology into its FridgeSmart containers to keep fall produce fresher for days longer to save consumers time and ensure that their money is well-spent.

The redesigned FridgeSmart Containers offers better air circulation and advanced moisture protection. To choose which of the three options works best for what you are trying to store, view the handy storage chart on the side of the container.

The storage chart is relocated for easier viewing, while an improved venting system moves to an easy-open seal. The containers are available in five different sizes to accommodate different types of refrigerators and storage needs.

I have a few of these Fridgesmart containers and think they are awesome. I normally don’t store product too well in the fridge, so these containers have been making the produce I buy definitely last longer. I am also using my largest to store my flour in the kitchen since I learned in baking class about flours going bad if you don’t store it right.

One of my favorite uses for these is to keep my fresh cut watermelon. I buy the watermelon and take it home and let it sit in the fridge for a day to get cold. I then cut it up in small chunks and put in my medium size FridgeSmart Container. It keeps my watermelon looking and tasting fresh for almost a week!

You can buy these containers individually or you can buy set of 4 for only $84.00. For more info or to make a purchase visit: www.tupperware.com

I remember years ago winning a package of Peet’s Coffee online. When I entered the sweeps it was the first time I had heard of the coffee. I remember telling a co-worker about the coffee and she told me it was her favorite coffee.

Now I not only do I see the coffee when I am grocery shopping, Peet’s Coffee also has retail stores where you can go grab a cup of hot fresh coffee. I prefer to make my own coffee at home. For one, it sure saves a ton of money. I also like to be able to add my own little extras like whip cream, chocolate or caramel without having to pay an extra fee. My husband also drinks multiple cups a day. Making our favorite coffee flavors at home makes sense to us!

I was happy when I heard that you can get the Peet’s Coffee in the K-cups for the Keurig brewers. We have bought the Peet’s Coffee in the packages before but haven’t bought any in months since we always use our Keurig brewer. Now that I can get the Peet’s in the K-Cups, you are sure to see some in my K-Cup carousel.

The Peet’s Coffee K-Cups are available in a variety of flavors including Cafe Domingo, French Roast, House Blend, Major Dickason’s and more! You can purchase these online in single boxes of 16 K-Cups or you can also buy them in bulk. You can of course by the regular grounded coffee from Peet’s, iced coffee, tea and even the coffee beans!

The only thing bad about buying the Peet’s Coffee K-Cups and putting them in my carousel is that they go FAST!

If you have a Keurig Brewer, what is your FAVORITE K-cup flavor?

When I go grocery shopping I try hard not to buy a ton of sweets. Once in a while I will grab a box of treats to spoil the family because we all have our sugar cravings. There are times when you want a little cake and you don’t want to have to bake.

We received a couple of the NEW Sara Lee Snack Cakes for review. We got to try the Buttery Sunshine Cakes and the Devil’s Food Creme Cakes. They are both delicious and I don’t know which one I like better. When I am craving chocolate I would definitely go with the Devil’s Food Creme Cake, but if I in the mood for something sweet that doesn’t contain chocolate I would go with the Buttery Sunshine Cakes.

Sara Lee has been a brand that I have known since I was a kid. I don’t know about you, but I remember those old Sara Lee commercials and when I think of the brand, I think of the saying “Nobody Does It Like Sara Lee”.

Take a peek at a few of the classic Sara Lee Commercials….

 
I have enjoyed the Sara Lee products throughout the years and excited for this new line. Now when I am packing a lunch for myself for school, I might sneak in a Sara Lee snack too! Not only do they have the two cakes that I featured below, here are some others you might want to try:

• Golden Fudge Cakes
• Golden Creme Cakes
• Chocolate Creme Cupcakes
• Cheese Topped Crumb Cakes
• Crumb Cakes

I definitely want to try the crumb cakes….. 🙂

In July when I went to BlogHer in Chicago I received a really cute Land’s End tote bag that I made sure came home with me. The first thing I noticed about the bag was the quality. Compared to my other tote bags, this one was really nice. When I received an email about doing a review for their backpacks, I jumped at the chance.

When it comes to backpacks, you want to make sure you get your child one that is going to last. I have four children and have bought my fair share of backpacks that don’t make it through the school year.

This school year Hannah is rocking the PINK Land’s End School Uniform Solid ClassMate® Medium Backpack. As soon as she seen the backpack, she couldn’t wait to stuff all her school supplies in it. She liked the size of this backpack and thought there was lots of room for her stuff. Here are some of the cool features:

• Reinforced bottom built with 1200D polyester pack cloth
• Lash strap gives them external carrying capacity
• Light up the night! Bottom strap lets them clip a bike light for maximum visibility in low-light conditions
• Reflective trim also helps keep kids visible
• Adjustable sternum strap keeps shoulder straps in the perfect position for comfort
• Handy loop for clipping on a lunch box saves room inside the pack

Since my daughter likes to pack a lunch, she was even more excited when she seen that there was a matching ClassMate® EZ Wipe Lunch Box too!

What is neat about these backpacks and lunchboxes is the ability to personalize them. For an extra fee you can add a monogram. You have the choice to add a single initial, initials or a word. For those of you with children with unique names that are short, this might be a fun way to let them show off their name. This style of backpack and lunchbox is also available in a variety of other colors/patterns too!
