A Scentfully Wonderful Gift! Pink Zebra Sprinkles

Win Your Own Small Warmer and Set of Sprinkles!
2012 Holiday Gift Guide Selection

  I love keeping my home smelling clean and fresh, and over the years I have used many different products to scent my home, including candles, incense, plug ins, oil diffusers, and more.   I use scents depending on my mood, or how I feel or whether or not company is coming, with my favorite being any type of relaxing fragrance.  Recently I discovered a great  company with unique products for scenting my home, Pink Zebra.
  Using a decorative electric Simmer Pot, you simply pour Pink Zebra’s scented Sprinkles into the bowl, plug in the warmer and wait for the wonderful scent to fill your home.  You don’t have to worry about an open flame if you have children or pets since the simmer pot uses a small light bulb to create the heat.   Sprinkles are actually little beads of Pink Zebra’s Soft Soy® wax mixed with high quality fragrance oils.  They come in a variety of fragrances, and you can even combine different Sprinkles to create your own unique scent!  These little Sprinkles will deliver 50% more fragrance than a regular scented candle due to the super concentrated levels of the fragrance oils!  Plus, as you know, soy wax burns much cleaner than other types such as parrafin wax.
   pinkzebra5
  I received a beautiful, small Simmer Pot in Ivory, and three jars of Sprinkles in the incredible-smelling fragrances, “Relax"’,“Jasmine Vanilla” and “Garden Lilac”.   The ceramic Simmer Pot has a Fluer de Lis design around the side and is two separate pieces, a base and the removable bowl where you add the Sprinkles.  It uses a small light bulb in the base to heat the wax, and it has a convenient On/Off switch as well as an indicator lamp so you know when the Simmer Pot is On or Off.  When plugged in, it does get warm around the sides, and the burner plate which the bowl sits on is extremely hot so be careful not to touch it when the unit is active!  Since it sits on slightly raised ‘legs’, you do not have to worry about it burning your furniture or shelf.
pinkzebra1
pinkzebra2
   The first time I used the Simmer Pot, I was amazed at how quickly the rich scent filled the room! One bowl of Sprinkles has lasted me well over two weeks when heated for a few hours a day. And when you are ready to change your scent, simply unplug the unit and let the wax harden completely, then you can stick the bowl in the freezer for a little under 10 minutes and the wax will pop out easily! Sometimes, I have actually been able to reuse the wax depending on how long I let it burn to begin with!
 pinkzebra9
pinkzebra12
  If you do not want to use an electric simmer pot, Pink Zebra has other unique ways to enjoy their Sprinkles!  They have Sprinkles Glimmer Candles  which are these neat candle kits you make yourself using the included decorative glass holder, wicks and Sprinkles.  Their newest product is the Shimmer Lights which are basically lamps with interchangeable decorative glass-lined shades and a warmer bowl.  The heat of the light bulb melts the wax, so you not only have a beautiful lamp, but a wonderful way to add scent in your home!  
  The Simmer Pots are available in two sizes, small or large, and Sprinkles can be purchased in 3.75 ounce glass jar or a 16 ounce carton.  Pink Zebra also carries a great selection of scented candlessoaps and lotions, as well as Resealable Reed Diffusers.   Their products would make a wonderful gift for family, friends, teachers and co-workers this Holiday season, or just get some to make your home smell wonderful and welcoming!  Products can be purchased through their online catalog or website by clicking HERE.

I See Me! Personalized Children’s Books

See Your Child’s Smile When They Star in Their Very Own Book
2012 Holiday Gift Guide Selection

  What better gift to give than a book starring your very own child?  What could be more exciting than being the star of your own storybook?  Watch the smile light up their faces as they read along with the story written just for them!    I See Me! Personalized Children’s Books has a wonderful selection of children’s books which you can have personalized to make an endearing, long-lasting gift!

  Iseeme1

   I had the opportunity to review A-B-C What I Can Be! written by Jennifer Dewing and illustrated by Colin Jack. Once the book is personalized, the title will read A-B-C What (child’s name) Can Be.   The story is a wonderful introduction to the alphabet and all of the wonderful things a child can grow up to be. 
“A, you’re an Astronaut who blasts to the stars.
You circle the moon and you rove around Mars.
B you’re a Broadcaster
giving reports on current events, today’s
weather and sports.”
    The pages are filled with playful rhyming text and bright, colorful illustrations where your child’s name frequently appears making him/her the star of the story and capturing both his/her attention and imagination! 
iseeme3

To make it even more special, following the title page is an introduction page where you can have a special message added for your child.
iseeme2

   I See Me! has a huge selection of endearing and exciting children’s books from adventure to learning, from special occasions to holidays, from pirates to fairies, and many more;  all of which can be personalized.    Ordering is easy, just go to http://www.iseeme.com/, select a story,  and then follow the directions to make the book your child’s very own!  They also offer personalized placemats, puzzles, gift sets and more.  I See Me can also be found on Facebook where you can learn about new books, promotions, sales, giveaways and more!
  In order to get the books by Christmas, you will need to order before December 12, 2012.

Madeline Chocolate Company: Make These The Sweetest Holidays Ever!

Great Stocking Stuffer!
2012 Holiday Gift Guide Selection
madelinelogo
   December 8th begins the eight night Festival of Lights in the Jewish religion, the holiday of Hanukkah.  In just a few more weeks Christmas will arrive.  People are shopping for gifts, decorations and food for the celebrations.  While much focus is on gifts, we can’t forget another fun tradition, the stockings!  I can remember as a child having a Hanukkah stocking and looking forward to finding out what was inside just as much as I wanted to open those colorfully wrapped gifts.  Children everywhere love discovering the treats in their stockings early Christmas morning.  This year fill their stocking with delectable treats from the Madeline Chocolate Company!

madelinechocolatecompany1

   For over 60 years, the Madeline Chocolate Company out of New York has been creating delicious, top-quality chocolates in every shape and design for very holiday and special occasion.  From Christmas to Valentine’s Day, birthdays to graduations, they make each occasion even sweeter!  Large chocolates, small chocolates, solid or cream filled, the Madeline Chocolate Company has the perfect treat everyone will love to eat! 
   Finding the perfect treat is easy as their website is divided into specific holidays so you can quickly find what you are seeking.  Since my family celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas, the Madeline Chocolate Company generously sent me some chocolates from both collections. 
  They have a great selection of Hanukkah chocolates including Silver Coins, Blue and Silver stars, traditional Hanukkah gelt, and even Blue and White Chocolate Malt Milk Balls.   My personal favorite are the Chanukah Disks which are solid milk chocolate disks that are wrapped in colorful Italian foils.  The foil wrappers are decorated with various Hanukkah designs such as dreidles, menorahs, Star of David’s and the Hebrew letters for Hanukkah.  They are approximately 2” in diameter and about 3/16” in width.  Of course, for the purpose of review only I had to try one to make sure they passed my taste inspection!  The verdict? As soon as I opened the foil I could smell the rich chocolate aroma.  The disk was smooth except for a pattern of raised dots around the outside edge.  It had a rich milk chocolate taste that practically melts in your mouth!  Delicious!

madelinechocolates4

   Their Christmas selection is huge!  Everything from milk chocolate balls to solid chocolate Santa ornaments, bells, stars cute keepsake boxes filled with chocolates and gift sets such as their Christmas Mint Truffle Gift Box.  After much deliberation and mind-changing, I choose the incredibly cute Snowman Giftable.   This cute keepsake is a clear plastic container stuffed full of caramel filled milk chocolate balls.  Both the bottom and top of the container has white cardboard ‘lids’ with blue snowflakes, and the top lid has a cute snowman’s head with a scarf and matching knit cap.  There are about 16 little foil-wrapped caramel-filled chocolate balls inside the container, each wrapper decorated with a snowman’s head.  Again, strictly for the purpose of review, I was obligated to sample the product.  My verdict?  Once unwrapped, the small almost egg-shaped chocolate had a wonderful aroma, and its smooth surface had a pattern of lines radiating out from the center.  Hard on the outside, the sweet milk chocolate is filled with creamy, buttery caramel.  Absolutely delectable!  This is perfect for a stocking stuffer or a small gift, and the left over container can be used year after year as a decoration, centerpiece or candy bowl!

  The Madeline Company Chocolates can be found at a large selection of fine retailers both online and off.  To find a location near you, or one online, simply enter your zip code on the Retailer Locator page HERE.    You can also find The Madeline Chocolate Company on both Facebook and Twitter.   For the perfect holiday, a special occasion or just as an everyday sweet, The Madeline Chocolate Company has the perfect chocolate treat!

Give A Little More This Holiday Season: World Vision Gift Catalog

Give the Gift That Literally Keeps on Giving!
2012 Holiday Gift Guide Selection
   This is the time of the year where sharing and caring abound. People open their wallets and their hearts, giving gifts, making donations and celebrating the true meaning of the Holidays.  This year, make a difference where it really counts.  This year, give the gift that literally keeps on giving through the World Vision Gift Catalog.  A gift that may cost you only a bit, but will be everything for someone in need.
   Every year since 1996 World Vision, a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to serving the world’s poor, and helping children and their communities worldwide by attacking the causes of poverty, has been sponsoring the World Vision Gift Catalog.    Last year alone $33.5 million in purchases were made impacting more than 800,000 people around the world.   There are over 250 gifts from which to choose, ranging in price from $16 to $39,000, but the difference they can make in just one person’s life is priceless.
coverwv
   Here’s how it works.  You can donate life-sustaining gifts through the catalog in honor of someone special, gifts that can change the lives of families and children in need.  Gifts vary from necessities such as animals like chickens and goats, to fishing equipment, from medicine to clean drinking water, from clothing to shelter. Things we take for granted that will keep families alive and make a true difference in their lives, gifted in the name of someone you love.  You can also choose to make to donations to the Maximum Impact Fund, money to be used where it is needed the most, and in return receive beautiful, free handmade gifts from around the world.  Gifts such as jewelry from Uganda to silk scarves from Thailand, along with scarves, bags, stuffed animals, book and more.  Gifts you can keep for yourself or give to a loved one with the knowledge that it represents the difference you helped to make in someone’s life.
   New this year is the option to create a personal My Gift Catalog page which allows individuals to create a personalized fundraising page where they can encourage friends and family to visit and purchase a gift from the catalog in lieu of traditional holiday presents.  This is a tool that can be used through out the year for holidays, birthdays, wedding and other celebrations and special occasions!  You can create your page at http://www.mygiftcatalog.org.
worldvision1
   One such gift you can receive from donating to the Maximum Impact Fund is one of these beautiful handmade ornaments from Nairobi.  There are three different ornaments from which you can choose, the Cross, the Heart or the Star;   or you get all three!  Each Zakale wire and bead ornament are made from recycled materials by Kenyan artists who received a loan from World Vision to grow their business and remove themselves from poverty.  Each one comes with a hook already securely attached so you don’t have to worry with those tiny ornament hooks.  The heart ornament measures around 3” by 3”, the cross 3.5” by 2.5” and the star 4” by 3.5”,  and since they do not weigh much they will not pull the branches of the Christmas tree down.  Each ornament is made from a silver-colored wire decorated with various multi-colored beads.  They are very well made and simple beautiful!

worldvision4
   To receive a World Vision catalog, or to learn of all the ways you can help, go to their webpage at http://www.worldvision.org/, and look under the Ways to Give tab, or click HERE.  Once there you can either place your donation through the online catalog, by phone or request one through the mail.  You will also have the opportunity to make or select a card to accompany your gift.  Each gift and/or donation is tax-deductible, and you will be mailed a receipt.   World Vision can also be found on Facebook and Twitter where you can learn even more about this wonderful organization and how you can help. 
   A perfect way to honor a friend, a child, your spouse, a teacher, co-worker or boss, this year, give a gift that you know will make a difference, give from the World Vision Catalog!

The UGLee Pen

Amazingly Ugly, Amazingly Comfy!

  I love writing and have since I was a child.  Short stories, poetry, essays, letters and more.  I love watching a blank page become filled with words.  I love being able to express myself through writing, for me it’s so much easier than speaking.  The sound of the pen scratching against the grains of the paper.  The smell of the ink.  And one of the most important parts of writing is the instrument I use.  I am fond of using pens when I write, and I always look for certain characteristics before I will buy new ones.   First of all, I want it to write smoothly, not skip along the page where I have to go back and fill in missing lines and curves of my letters.  I want the ink to be dark and bold, not too light or pale where it is hard to see.  Most important of all, I want it to be comfortable in my hand!  If the pen is not comfortable, I will not use it for long. 
   As a child, I would hold my pens much too tight, and I would write all the time, so as a result, a callous has actually formed on the side of my finger.  Teachers would tell me to loosen my grip, to use on of those triangular-shaped grips that you can slide on the pen.  Nothing ever worked, the callous is still there.  I also regularly get hand cramps and discomfort, leaving me able to write maybe half a sentence before I have to stop and shake out my hand.
ugleepen 009
The UGLee Callous
   Recently I came across a new pen, appropriately named the UGLee Pen! Created by a doctor, Dr. James Lee, this ergonomically-designed pen was made for comfort.  It has a full-sized grip and its overall shape and detailed contours that are made to follow the anatomy of the human hand. 
ugleepen1
   The grip is made from a soft rubber and extends from right above the tip up the whole length of the barrel.  It is texturized to help provide an even better grip, and my fingers fit perfectly in the grooves.  The grip also has the nice bonus of keeping the pen from rolling away!  The only downside to the grip is that I have noticed it seems to attract fur!  So if you have animals, don’t be surprised to see their fur on the grip of your pen!
ugleepen4
  The entire pen weighs only 11 grams which is very light even for a pen, and you know that less mass means less inertia which means more comfort when writing!
ugleepen2
  The pens come standard with a medium point and black ink.  They are refillable, and you can choose from blue, black or red ink for the refills.  They also come in a variety of barrel colors such as red, blue, pink, green and more.
ugleepen
  So, does it truly work as far as being the most comfortable pen?  Yes!  The first time I used it I was very impressed with how well it fit my hand, almost like it literally was an extension of me!  For the first time in a very long while, I was able to write pages and pages without having to stop.  I believe it writes smoother than any gel pen, fountain pen or roller ball pen I have used.  The ink flows continuously and smoothly, with no skipping, scratching, fading, blobbing or smearing. This has quickly become my favorite pen!  The longer I use it, the more comfortable the grip becomes, plus I have noticed that it no longer feels like I am gripping my pen as though trying to squeeze the life out of it!
ugleepen 013
   Not only are the UGLee pens good for people who suffer pain from tight grip, arthritis, tendonitis, carpal tunnel, callouses, parathasia and more, but they are perfect for young children with underdeveloped muscles!   They can actually help a child avoid repetitive stress injuries to their young, developing muscles.
   This ergonomic pen is commonly sold in packs of three and can be purchased directly through the UGLee Pen website.  Right now you can get a pack for only $19.99!  If you are not happy with your UGLee Pen, you can return it with their 100% money back guarantee! 
   The UGLee pen can also be purchased through Amazon and other online sites.  Visit UGLee Pen on Facebook and Twitter to keep up with all the latest deals, promotions and more!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

WOWindows! Wow Your Neighborhood with These Cute Decorations

Win A Snowman WOWindows Window Decoration!
wowindowslogo

   Now that Thanksgiving has passed, it is that time of year where everyone begins to decorate for the Holidays!  Trees, lights, ornaments, yard decorations and more!  Add the perfect touch this holiday season to your windows with decorations from WOWindows!  During the day these bright and colorful posters add cheer for everyone to see, then at night, the lights from your house cause them to glow with a warm welcome.   Santa Claus, Snowmen, Menorah’s and more, WOWindows is what you are looking for!
  Since our family celebrates both Hanukkah and Christmas, I was very excited when WOWindows sent me two separate window posters to review, Santa Claus II and the Menorah with Peel Away Candle Reveals.  Each poster is made of plastic, and comes with instructions and adhesive squares that you use to hang them.  They are extremely easy to hang, simply put one adhesive square on each corner of the window, then hang the poster, starting from top to bottom and smoothing it down as you go.

wowindowswindowposters 017Use the included adhesive squares to attach the poster to the window.

   The posters are pretty large, measuring 3’ x 5’.   Unfortunately, this is a little wider than the front windows in our apartment, but we soon discovered they fit pretty well on our sliding glass doors!

Santa Claus II
  This giant poster show a rosy-cheeked Santa with his toy sack slung over his shoulder on a black background.  It is very well done, and looks great from the outside, especially at night when the lights make it appear to glow!  I could see how someone walking or driving by might do a ‘double-take’ thinking Santa is walking by the window!  It is a perfect addition to our usual Christmas décor.

wowindows santa 2a

wowindows santa2


Hanukkah Menorah with Peel Away Candle Reveals
   This is my personal favorite as it is “interactive”!  There is a picture of a gold colored Menorah with a Star of David and eight burning candles, plus the Shamus, on a background of solid black.  On a separate sheet of paper there are black candle “flames” that you use to cover the flames on the poster.  As each night of Hanukkah arrives, you “light” the Menorah by peeling off the flame cover over the appropriate night’s candle allowing light to shine through and  giving the appearance of the candles lit and glowing.  It is very nice and I bet our son will get a kick out of “lighting” each night’s candle. 

wowindows menorah1
wowindows menorah2
You peel off the flame cover for each new night of Hanukkah

   We love the way these look in our windows!  They are very affordable, and in my opinion are the perfect amount of decoration without being too much!   We love how easy they are to hang up, and once the holidays are over, we can simply take them down, fold them up and store them until next year!
   Hanukkah and Christmas are not the only holidays for which WOWindows makes posters.  They also have a great selection of Halloween posters, from scary to cute, as well as American Flags for patriotic holidays!  You can find WOWindows posters both online and off, simply click HERE for a list of retailers!  They vary in price from $8 and up depending on the retailer.

0098ijla.tif, 11/14/06, 9:35 AM,  8C, 3750x5000 (0+0), 100%, Default Settin,  1/25 s, R57.0, G47.0, B70.7


   One lucky Bullock’s Buzz fan will have the opportunity to win the cute Snappy Snowman window poster pictured above!  Simply enter the PromoSimple below!  This giveaway is open to residents of the U.S. only.  It will begin tonight at 11:59pm EST and end December 6 at 11:59pm EST.

IKEA Soft Toys: Klappar Leopard

The IKEA Foundation’s Soft Toys for Education Campaign
2012 Holiday Gift Guide Selection
   Every year, staring in early November and running through late December, the IKEA Foundation runs the Soft Toys for Education Campaign.   For every soft toy sold, one Euro is split between UNICEF and Save the Children for educational projects in almost 40 countries!  Since the campaign began back in 2003, over $61 million in donations have been made, helping eight million children around the world through over 70 programs.  Last year, in the US alone, IKEA raised over $1 million through the sale of soft toys during the campaign!    Together, IKEA, UNICEF and Save the Children make a difference for millions of children by reducing malnutrition and infant disease, improving literacy, and improving  the education of the most disadvantaged children.   All of this, from the purchase of adorable soft toys!
    UNICEF works all over the world and has saved more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization in the world.  They provide children with clean water, nutrition, education, emergency relief and more.
   Save the Children is the leading independent organization for children in need with programs in 120 countries including the United States.  They work to support projects which improve the lives of the most marginalized children’s health, education and economic opportunities.

   This year, IKEA’s Soft Toys for Education Campaign began November 4 and is running through December 29th.  They have a wonderful selection of soft toys for children of every age, ranging from every type of stuffed animal imaginable to finger puppets to infant gyms and mobiles, rattles, building blocks, play food sets, dolls and play books, and so much more!  The prices are amazing as well for these precious toys, ranging from $0.49 to $19.99.
plates, more 008
   I chose the wonderfully soft and cuddly Klappar Leopard Soft Toy.  When it arrived I was astounded by its size, thinking it would be much smaller! Instead, this soft and cuddly leopard is around 2 feet long, a little bit over 3 feet if you include its tail! It is made with all new material, mainly polyester fiber, and is incredibly soft and squishy!  It’s eyes and whiskers are fabric, not the hard plastic ones found on some stuffed animals.  There are no visible stitches, and it appears to be very well made!  It is very cute and I cannot wait to give it to my niece for the holidays!
plates, more 011
   To see the wonderful selection of Soft Toys available, click HERE.  If you do not have an IKEA near you, you can always shop online through the IKEA website.  So while you are doing your holiday shopping for your children, go ahead and help other children in need as well!  Two gifts in one, the best being they are all gifts of love!
