Free Facts of Lice App + Fairy Tales Hair Care Rosemary Repel Collection Review

by Briana Carter on October 11, 2011

My kids have never <knock on wood> had dreaded lice yet. However, I did spend quite a bit of time with a Mission Group in Guatemala doing lice checks and treatments for kids who were infected very heavily with lice. Since then, I haven’t been as petrified of lice, though, I most definitely don’t want my kids to get it!

Elementary and Pre-School aged children are the most likely to get lice. The majority of the 12 million cases report annually are within that age group.

There is a product you can use to help prevent lice naturally. Fairy Tales Hair Care Rosemary Repel Collection are hair products infused with organic rosemary and citronella oils, which are proven to effectively and safely repel lice. No harsh chemicals!

Use the Rosemary Repel shampoo, cream conditioner, leave in conditioning spray, styling gel, or hair spray to help effectively prevent lice. Plus, it smells good! I’ve also noticed that I don’t have to use conditioner on Sofia with this shampoo as I’m able to brush through her hair easily after just the shampooing!

You can track outbreaks in your area to see if you need to up your prevention with the FREE Facts of Lice Apple App.

Kmart Slim Fab Clothing Line – Perfect Shapewear for Your Budget

by Briana Carter on June 22, 2011

Have you seen or heard of the new Slim Fab line available at Kmart? I was sent a couple pieces to try out and it isn’t your typical shapewear. Instead it is a collection of clothing from tops to bottoms that has built in slimming technology.

Like many moms, I have a muffin top. Sometimes when I wear typical shapewear, it is either too tight or won’t stay in place. I absolutely loved the Slimming Top for it’s comfort as well as style. It is also priced right for my budget!

I decided to wear the Slimming Top to a recent graduation party. It felt good to wear something that was comfortable yet made me feel confident in my appearance.

What do you think? Would you try Kmart‘s Slim Fab line?

Zhu Zhu Babies Home Party + Review

by Briana Carter on June 3, 2011

Through MommyParties, we were sent a fun Zhu Zhu Babies party kit! What are Zhu Zhu babies you may ask? They are the baby Zhu Zhu pets complete with accessories and clothing.  Since, my kids were already fans of Zhu Zhu pets this was a perfect fit for our household.

Before the party, I didn’t even know these cute little toys excited. Each Adorable Deluxe Zhu Zhu Baby comes with a swaddling blanket, stroller, hat and accessories! They are perfect for little girls who love to play babies or little boys who like things with wheels! :) Because you know the little strollers make perfect cars when there are no cars around!

If you already have Zhu Zhu pet items, you can easily incorporate these babies in with the “mommies & daddies.”  The sets are so colorful and fun for the little ones to play with. The babies themselves are perfect on the go toys too!

All the little girls at the party enjoyed taking home a special little gift including their own Zhu Zhu Baby.

3D Sneaky Puzzles Singin’ Sea Creatures

by Briana Carter on April 25, 2011

3D is one of the hottest trends around and here in the form of a Singin’ Sea Creature 3D puzzle. Put together the 46 piece colorful floor puzzle. Then, slip on the 3D glasses for a magical experience – you will see fish swimming towards you! So much fun for the kids (and big kids too!)

Why is it sneaky? On top of the fun 3D images, hidden within the puzzle are all the letters of the alphabet and numbers 0-9. This is a large puzzle as you can see from the picture. It was a little hard to get the entire puzzle into the pictures because of it’s size.

Actual size is 2′x3′. For ages 3 and up. Retails for $14.99 and can be purchased from Amazon.

Verizon Wireless Samsung Fascinate Galaxy Phone Review

by Briana Carter on December 29, 2010

Before Thanksgiving, I was invited to a Verizon Hap-App-Y Holidays bloggers get together hosted by my good friend, Cherie (Queen of Free). We had some yummy treats, fun with other bloggers, and had an opportunity to talk to the Verizon folks.

First of all, for full disclosure I love my iPhone and I’m also in the middle of a 2 year contract with my iPhone. So needless to say the Samsung Fascinate , though, very cool with some really functional features didn’t meet my phone standards.

However, the network is much better. It is faster and my favorite feature of the phone is the ability to use it as a wireless hotspot. Using this phone, I was able to create a network wherever we went, which meant my children were able to use the internet on their iPod touches and I was able to use the internet on my iPhone in places where I am not able to with AT&T.

The hotspot feature would be great for anyone who travels outside of their home and wants to use their wireless devices anywhere without an extra monthly hosting plan.

Here’s what I liked about the phone:

• Skype app is much easier to use than the Skype app on my current phone.
• Very thin phone and lightweight
• Integrate your social media profiles.
• Integrates with your google accounts
• Variety of apps to choose from to make your life easier or more fun including fan favorite Angry Birds! :)
• Takes really good pictures for a phone – the below is not the best example but I wiped my phone clean before I could save the good ones!

Cons:

• Hard for me to text as the touch keyboard was very touchy.
• When I was on phone calls, if I leaned my face against the screen, I would hang up on people.
• No Words with Friends app available for this device!

If you are looking for a phone on the Verizon Network, I would highly suggest this phone.

I was provided a Verizon phone to test for approximately 6 weeks. No other compensation was received. Read more on my Disclosure Policy.
