Recently, I was contacted to review the Dermagist Neck Restoration Cream. I was surprised to find how “light” the cream was. It was not heavy, but yet it provided richness to the skin. It includes five active ingredients (including stem cells) to reduce the “sagginess” you may see in your neck. Repeated use of the cream will give your skin a lift! IT has deep moisture to help smooth out those lines. Check out what I received:

My CafePress Review
Not too long ago, I was approached by CafePress.com to conduct a review. If you are not familiar with CafePress, they have tons of customizable products for you to personalize. And, if you have not heard of this fabulous site, check out my introductory post, HERE. I had a difficult time narrowing down my choices of products that I would like to try. Since, I just LOVE to bake, I thought that I would go with a theme. I selected a Personalized Apron and a Cookie Scoop (I have always wanted one!!). Check them out:
I was in heaven with my selections. BUT, I had more credit left to use. I have always wanted to put a bit of a classy personal touch to our bedroom. I found the perfect item to do just that at CafePress! A monogrammed throw pillow was the perfect fit. I am happy to share with you my creation:
CafePress has so many items to choose from. Here’s some of their currently trending products:
If you could have your choice, what would you order?? You can see a list of all their products on their website: CafePress.com. Also, be sure to check them out on Social Media:
Happy Shopping… Happy Creating… Happy Saving!
Disclosure: I was given an incentive from CafePress.com in return for an honest review, which did not influence my opinion of their site nor of their products. And, my opinions may differ from your own.

Introducing: The Snugg!
2013-04-22 14:01:10“Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above in the hope that I would mention it on my blog. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising.”
Introducing: The Snugg!
Recently, I was approached to review TheSnugg.com. I am so excited for this opportunity because I have been searching for the perfect case for my iPad2. There’s just so many different types of cases. No matter the style or use, any case I choose must be of great quality. Here lies my excitement with The Snugg! They offer a wide variety of QUALITY cases.
TheSnugg.com offers cases and covers for iPads of every generation as well as Tablets, SmartPhones, Kindles and more. I have noticed that many sites do not differentiate between the variety of iPad generations. For me, I want to know that the case I choose will fit specifically for my iPad2. In searching the variety of cases and covers for the iPad2, I was drawn to the case that also features a BlueTooth Keyboard! Unfortunately, my iPad takes the back burner when it comes to blogging due to the lack of keyboard. Yes, the iPad offers an onscreen keyboard, but it’s just not the same. Plus, I can type faster with a physical keyboard (which is very important when it comes to composing).
Once my iPad case arrived, I just couldn’t wait to open it and start using! But, before I could use it I wanted to take several pictures so that you could experience the product as well. Check out some of my photos of the product:
I can’t wait to see how the keyboard case works with my iPad. Just like any other electronic purchase, the keyboard must be charged prior to use. The keyboard charged in about two hours, not bad for an initial charge. As you can see below, it is easy to determine when charging is occurring. During a charge, you’ll notice a red light appears. When charging is complete, the light disappears:

The same alert system is in place for the bluetooth features, too. Just the color is blue instead of red, very fitting!
What I like most about this product is that it’s thin and does not add “bulk” to my iPad! The keyboard is fully functional and I have had no issues with the bluetooth communication to my iPad (such a plus!). Hardware was included so that you can charge the keyboard directly to any device with a USB port. Luckily, my smart phone charger has 2 USB ports making it easy for me to charge the keyboard and my phone simutaneously! Once you take the case off the iPad, just place the keyboard side up on any surface and set your iPad into the top of the keyboard. The iPad is secure while sitting on the keyboard, and automatically angled for best use!

Introducing Skinny Pop! #skinnypop

Introducing Skinny Pop!
Do you love to snack? I know that I do! And, this is my downfall when it comes to leading a healthy lifestyle… until finding Skinny Pop! What other yummy buttery/salty snack yields only 39 calories per serving? That is just FAB in my book! In the past I would just have plain popcorn, but it wasn’t very tasty. And, I would always revert back to adding butter or switching to a saltier snack. Snacks that should be avoided on any journey to health!
When I heard that I was selected to try out Skinny Pop, I just could not wait to see what all the buzz is about! Check out what was delivered right to my doorstep from the Skinny Pop Popcorn company:
As soon as they arrived, I just had to try! And, Skinny Pop lived up to my expectations! The fresh popcorn is very light and buttery taste! At first you get the taste of natural popcorn but as you begin to chew the flavor comes through. Skinny Pop does not disappoint. I wanted to keep all the bags under lock and key, but my hubby’s eye caught a glimpse and was intrigued to have a taste too! Now, I have to share my stock pile of Skinny Pop. This is a great thing for Skinny Pop as they have created a tasty snack, but not so much for me… as I wanted to have them all to myself
My new favorite Snack Food, Skinny Pop, had me intrigued. I knew that they were only 39 calories per serving, but I wanted to learn more. Here are some interesting facts that I found out and wanted to share with you:
