T3 Source Hand Held Shower Filter Review – #T3Source

August 10, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 10 Comments

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for T3. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and as a thank you for participating.”

T3 Source Shower Filter A little over a year ago we replaced the shower head in the bathroom. We went from a hand held shower head to the regular shower head that you can’t hold by hand. At that time I was excited to have the new shower head in place but about a month or two later, I started missing the old one.

This past month we received one of the T3 Source Hand-Held Shower Filters to review. Since I live in an area that has BAD water, I was excited to install this new filter because it would be filtering the water I use to take a shower each day. We normally filter our drinking water in the kitchen and hadn’t put much thought in the water that comes out of the shower. I think that it is a clever idea for a shower head to provide you with clean water to bathe with.

Here is a picture of my installed shower head that was super simple to install.

There is just a few steps in installing this shower filter and you can have it installed in under 5 minutes. I watched my husband install it and I was impressed on how fast the install time was. It really only took but a few minutes.

Here are some of the advantages of using the T3 Source Hand Held Shower Filter:

Is clinically proven to make your hair more beautiful
Enhances the vibrancy and retention of hair color
Makes skin noticeably softer and smoother

This product uses a chemical filtration process known as “Redox” that helps to transform chlorine into harmless elements that are too large to be absorbed by your hair and your skin. It has been shown that patented technology can effectively move more chlorine over a broader temperature range than other similar filters that can result in the following:

64% reduction in Frizz
28% increase in Body
47% increase in Comb-ability
28% increase in Shine

I am really enjoying using this new T3 Source Hand Held Shower Filter. I like that it has 8 different spray settings and that it is also helping to provide better water, especially when I am washing my face. I am also noticing that my skin looks less dry after using this product for a little over a week.

Boggy Creek Airboat Rides – #VisitKiss

I received an all expenses paid trip to Florida to attend the Decade of Memories Event from Experience Kissimmee. No monetary compensation has been received and all thoughts expressed are my own.

Boggy Creek Airboat Rides

This summer I had the opportunity to take a trip to Kissimmee, Florida where I got to visit Boggy Creek Airboat Rides for my second time. I was just as excited to go on an airboat ride the second time around as I was the first time. When I was little, I used to watch The Everglades with my dad and I remember wanting to ride on an airboat. Now I can say that I have been on one of these cool boats twice!

When you visit Boggy Creek Airboat Rides, you can take a 30 minute scenic tour in the Central Florida Everglades. Your driver will take you to explore nature that includes wetlands, cypress trees and definitely lots of wildlife at speeds up to 45mph. On our tour I seen a variety of birds, animals and even a couple gators!

I enjoyed the tour and wish it would have lasted a little longer. For me, I love seeing nature. Once the tour was over, our group headed to some picnic tables where we enjoyed a lunch and also had the opportunity to hold a little alligator. Not only did I hold the cute gator, I gave it a kiss too!

For those of you that want to take an adventure on an airboat too, Boggy Creek Airboat Rides is open 364 days out of the year. They are open from 9am to 5pm and have tours leaving every 30 minutes. Find more info on prices and location at: www.bcairboats.com.

Plus+ Motif iPad Case Review

August 5, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 4 Comments

I received samples to provide you with this review. No monetary compensation has been received and all thoughts and opinions stated herein are 100% my own.

When I first got my iPhone, I couldn’t wait to buy cute cases for it. Then when I got my iPad, I started thinking of getting some cute cases for it as well. For me, it can be fun to decorate my electronics in cute and fancy cases.

Papier Plus Motif products When I found out about the Plus+ Motif cases from Papier de Masion, I got excited. These are cases for the iPad, Nook and Kindle that you can customize, that also have a notepad and pen on the inside. The concept is really simple and fun.

First pick out the case that you want from 16 different case colors.
Then pick out of the 72 motif designs that can snap onto your case to customize it.
Snap on and snap off to create your own custom iPad case.

Papier de Mason Plus Motif Cases When I travel, especially on blogger events I like to bring my iPad so that I can take notes with it. I LOVE that this case came with both a tablet and pen that can be replaced. Now when I take my iPad, I can take both notes with an app or take old fashion notes with a tablet and pen. I currently have two of these cases in the color red and gray but definitely want a few more colors since I like to change cases often.

Nutella Now Has A New Boutique

August 1, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 7 Comments

I received samples to provide you with this review. No monetary compensation has been received and all thoughts and opinions stated herein are 100% my own.

When I first heard about Nutella there was a lot of hype going around about the product. Since I am one that enjoys trying new things, I knew I had to get my hands on a container of the stuff. Once I brought it home and tried it on some toast, I was addicted. I then begin to think of different foods and recipes I could use Nutella with.

I am happy to announce that there is now a Nutella Boutique that you can find on their website. They have finally added an e-commerce store for their fans that features different Nutella® branded merchandise including t-shirts, messenger bags, spreaders, coffee mugs, tumblers and more!

I received a box of Nutella goodies to review and I couldn’t wait to wear my new and blue Nutella t-shirt. I first had intended just to wear it around the house. I had to run to the grocery store for a couple things and when I was checking out, the clerk mentioned that she loved my shirt. I looked down and said, “oh yeah, this is my new Nutella t-shirt” and smiled. I almost gave the t-shirt to one of my daughters but glad I kept it.

I am enjoying all of the Nutella goodies I received and can’t wait to see more products on their website. I think the option of buying the Nutella products in bulk might be nice. 🙂

How To Make A Grilled Artisan Pepperoni Pizza With #Pillsbury

July 31, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 13 Comments

I wrote this post on while participating in a campaign by Myblogspark on behalf of General Mills and received a promotional items to thank me for my time. All views and opinions expressed are that of my own.

One thing that all of my family LOVES to eat is pizza. For me, I like pizza for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Before I learned how to make my own homemade pizza, I would either order it from take-out or make it from one of the frozen varieties you can find at the store. Once I learned that making pizza is easy to make and a whole lot cheaper than take-out, I have been hooked. Being able to make it at home gives you the option to add your own ingredients and make it just the way that you like it.

This weekend I wanted to be creative with our dinner and decided to make pizza on the BBQ grill. I normally make our pizza in the oven, but it is summer now and the weather here in California can be a little too hot to use the oven. Even though I love a pizza with a variety of ingredients, my kids prefer just pepperoni, cheese and sauce. Now I will show you just how easy it is to make one.

First you will want to open the Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Bread dough, unroll it and place it on a sheet of foil. Be sure to keep the dough in the fridge until you use it so the dough unrolls easily.

Next you will want to spread your pizza sauce. I used a brush to spread the sauce evenly on the dough. The amount of sauce will depend on how saucy you like your pizza.

I am always trying to add some extra flavor, so next I sprinkled some Parmesan cheese on top of the sauce.

Next add the cheese. For me I use Mozzarella because it seems to melt the best for me, but you can choose whatever shredded cheese you like best.

Next add the pepperoni to the top of the cheese.

Now it is time to place your pizza on the grill. Since I have a family of six, I decided to make two pizzas to make sure we had enough. I made a pizza with the Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Dough as well as the regular Pillsbury Pizza dough.

The next step is going to vary on your BBQ Grill. We have a grill that uses propane, so we put the heat on low and grilled the pizza bout 25-30 minutes. You will want to cook on low because if you turn it up too much, your crust is going to burn.

This is just one of many ideas that you can use to make pizza on the grill. To find more grilled pizza recipes, visit the following links:
