Bound Journals Review and Giveaway

August 8, 2012 By Amberlee 2 Comments

I’m sure that you have noticed by now, but I love notebooks, and journals. I just love to write, even if I don’t know what I am writing. I love having one notebook to put all my thoughts, ideas, or even something to put my grocery list in. But I can never find a notebook that does all of these without drawing templates myself.

Bound Custom Journals does just that. They let you create your own notebook, and I’m not just talking about the color and whether the pages are lined or blank, I’m talking about everything. From how many pages, to sections, colors, and so much more.

To show you how easy, and how awesome creating your journal is, I’m going to take you through the ordering process.

First you choose what kind of notebook you want. I chose Their Original Bound Journal.

Then you pick what you want kind of pages are going to go into your journal.

You can choose to add as many pages as you want of the following: City Maps, Regional Maps, Isometric Grid, Blank, Lined, Square Grid, Daily Log, Weekly or Monthly Calender, Contacts, Checklists, Music, Story Boards, Wireframe, Clothing, Games, Food, Cornell Notes, and Micro Journaling.

I love that I can decide what is going into my journal, and that I can decide how many pages each group is going to take up. For my journal I picked to have a monthly calender for 3 years, and I love that I can decide what month the calender starts, and when the calender ends. So you can use it to plan something like a wedding that you only have a certain amount of time to complete all your tasks.

You can make your own Bound Journal on their Website here.

Perplexus Review and Giveaway!

August 7, 2012 By Amberlee 2 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I love games that can keep me entertained as well as keep me hooked. The Original Perplexus does both of these things quite well. So what is the Perplexus you ask?

The Perplexus is 23 feet of bendy, twirly, upside-down maze wrapped up in a clear plastic ball that is a little smaller then a basketball. The puzzle is numbered from 1-100 and you have to guide a little silver ball through the maze without it dropping. If the little silver ball drops you have lost and you must start back at either #1 or one of 2 other checkpoints if you had made it past them. Getting to the end is a lot harder then you may think. Be careful, you could lose a lot of time on this thing.

I love my new game! It’s so much fun to try to beat your score on it. I have gotten to 99 many times but I can’t seem to ever get to 100. It is also really fun to compete with your friends to see who can get the furthest. But be careful handing it off, you may not get it back.

The Perplexus is game that is for a very large age group. Kids as young as 6, and adults of any age can join in too! It’s very easy to just pick up this game and play it for hours! It is so addicting! Once you get the hang of playing it gets a little easier, although for some reason I cannot get past 99. The only person that I know that has gotten to 100 was my best friend who cheated by bouncing the ball around until it hit 100. We were all very upset.

I definitely recommend the Perplexus to anyone that needs something to occupy their time. It will have to entertained for hours!

You can find the Perplexus on their website here.

Toe Juice and Hog Wash Review

August 6, 2012 By Amberlee 3 Comments

When I think of the name Toe Juice, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely not something that would help your feet. Toe Juice was originally made for babies, but can be used for anyone with dry, cracked feet.

http://www.managedmoms.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/toejuicebottle.jpg

This is Toe Juice. It is a liquid that was designed to quickly evaporate, and to not leave skin greasy but to help improve your skin. Toe Juice also stops itching, burning, and irritation from many different skin irritations. So you don’t have to just use it on your feet, but you can use it on your hands, arms, legs, and some even use it on their face for acne.

Unless it is raining or snowing, you will find me in flip flops. Because of this my feet have really suffered and are cracked and they often peel. Not only am I afraid to show my feet in public, but my feet cause me pain which makes chasing after my little ones a lot harder. Toe Juice not only made my feet softer, but it helped make my feet look better. I was able to show my feet off without worrying about everyone noticing my cracking and peeling feet. This product was very easy to use, and it didn’t take long to see great results.
The makers of Toe Juice also have created Hog Wash. Hog Wash works the same way as Toe Juice, but is also a hand sanitizer. When I was working with money my hands were always dry, cracked, and very dirty. I absolutely hated it! I would by hand sanitizer and use it almost every time I handled money. My hands became so dry I had to stop using the sanitizer because it would burn my hands every time I use it. I tried many different types of hand sanitizer and never did find one that not only killed germs, but also made my hands healthy. So I am very glad I now know about Hog Wash

I love Toe Juice and their products! I cannot wait for them to see what else they come up with!

Right now you can go to their website here, and get a 1oz bottle of Toe Juice free if you pay for shipping.

Send A Ball Review and Coupon Code

August 4, 2012 By Amberlee 1 Comment

http://secure.sendaball.com/img/press/sendaball%20logo.jpg

I recently received a sample from Send A Ball. Send A Ball is owned by 2 sisters, and they came up with the amazing idea of sending plastic balls through the mail for their friends. Eventually they decided to market the idea, and now they have a very successful business that I personally love.

http://secure.sendaball.com/img/press/High%20Res%202.JPG

I was sent a blue version of this ball. I do wish that they would have sent me pink or purple, but my daughters still love it either way. My friend went to pick it up and she was told happy birthday even though it wasn’t even for her, or even me for that matter but it was still fun. Luckily it was my daughters 2 year old birthday so it worked out!

http://secure.sendaball.com/img/press/High%20Res%203.JPG

I love the idea of these balls, but I wish that they had more sayings, and most of all I wish that they would let you pick your own color of ball. They say on their website that you can request a certain color, but that you may not get that certain color. I really do not like the idea that I take the time to pick out a color that my daughter loves, only to be sent something that she doesn’t like. We all know how picky kids can be! Not only that but if I was sending it for a specific reason, like a baby shower, I would hate to pick pink and for them to send blue. However they state they will not send blue to a girl unless requested, yet I am a girl and I got blue?

The ball seems to be made out of pretty durable material. Both my kids have been playing with it since we got it, and love it! They think its funny to run as fast as they can into each other while each holding a ball. Luckily they are only one and two, so they don’t get hurt. But they have fallen on their butts a couple times which made me laugh.

I would recommend these to anyone looking for a silly gift that can be delivered in a unique way, just don’t be upset if they send you a color that you didn’t want.

You can find Send A Ball on their website here.

Group Soda Stream Giveaway!

August 4, 2012 By Amberlee Leave a Comment

Who wants to win a SodaStream? Coupondipity has teamed up with some super bloggers to give away a SodaStream to celebrate reaching 10,000 fans! We couldn’t have done it without you! Let’s talk a little about how cool this product is! The wonderful people at SodaStream USA sent Coupondipity a SodaStream to try out, so that we could tell you all about it. And they have been kind enough to sponsor another one for a giveaway! One lucky reader will win the Fountain Jet Soda Lover’s Start-Up Kit ($99.95) which includes… - Fountain Jet – winner’s choice of color (black/silver, red/silver or white) - 1 carbonating bottle, reusable for up to 3 years - Reusable carbonator to fizz up to 60L of soda - Variety 6-pack of popular sample-size flavors - 3 full-sized flavors of the winner’s choice When the SodaStream arrived, I decided to wait until hubby got home to play with it. It comes with a CO2 bottle, and blowing up the house was not in my plans for the day. So I sat there looking at the box until I could take it no longer, and decided, “Okay, I’ll just open the box and glance at the instructions.” To my surprise, it was as simple as popping the carbonator bottle in and popping the water bottle in, then pressing a button. So easy!(Easier than the microwave!) I first decided to try the Black Currant and Pear flavor. Oh my goodness! So delicious! Since that time, we have tried the cola, root beer and lemon-lime (just like Sprite!). It is so easy to use that as soon as one bottle is finished, I take about 1 minute (if that) to make another. Did you know that there are even Crystal Light and Country Time Lemonade flavors? And that you can switch out the CO2 bottles at your local market? Or add your own flavors if you like – I’ve had friends adding juice and even flavored teas! Would you like one of your very own? Of course you would! All you have to do to enter is go through the Rafflecopter entry form below. Complete as many or as few entries as you like – but remember, the more entries that you complete, the better your chances!
