Holiday Gift Guide - Cuddletunes Bear Review and Giveaway.




I would love to introduce you to one of the cutest toys and best Holiday gift ideas I have come across this holiday season: Cuddle Tunes…..I was offered the opportunity to do a review on one of these adorable cuddly bears and I headed over to their website to see what Cuddle tunes was all about, and this is what I learned:
Founded in 2007, cuddletunes is led by a group of entrepreneurial parents whose mission is to help families stay close through the power of story, song, and the human voice. Today, they fulfill that mission by letting parents, grandparents and other caring adults create beautiful and personalized bedtime soundtracks for their small children. Just wait to see what they add tomorrow!
Privately owned and founder funded, cuddletunes is led by experienced technology entrepreneur Michael Robinson. Their team includes Grammy and Gold Record winning musical talent along with very talented and experienced engineers, designers, and illustrators, as well as successful and experienced business managers.
After browsing on their site for a couple of minutes, I knew I would love to do a review on their products and would certainly love to share it with all of my e-friends.
Cuddletunes is simply a fusion between a really cute teddy bear and an MP3 player that allows you to add personalized bedtime soundtracks featuring your little one’s name. The bear includes a built-in MP3 player as well as a set of beautiful cuddletune’s lullabies and unlimited use of the cuddletunes web recorder that allows you to record stories, songs, and messages.
The soundtrack can be updated as often as you like and downloaded to the bear quickly and easily through the bear's USB cord which is located in the back of the bear in a zippered compartment. Setting up your bear is really easy; the website is truly user friendly so anyone can use it.
The real beauty of this bear, is not only how cute and soft the bear is, or that you can download beautiful bedtime stories for your little one, the real beauty of the Cuddletune bear is that parents that are away from their kids can now record messages for them and deliver them in the form of a teddy bear and that is certainly a great option for parents that have to travel often or parents that are deployed.
The melodies are gorgeous and you can even fast forward, reverse, pause, and even turn the volume up and down. I have to say that the quality of sounds is really good; I kind of expected the sound to be of pure quality……I am truly impressed with the concept and the quality of the cuddletune bears!

Holiday Gift Guide - Eberjey Review and Giveaway.

Closed.





There are some companies that I just love working with and sometimes I am lucky enough to have the chance to work with them a few times. Eberjey is one such company. Eberjey carries an awesome selection of lingerie and swim wear for women, big girls and little girls that are just to die for.

Eberjey designs are sexy, flirty, fresh and stylish with delicate and beautiful lines in the designs that will for sure keep you going through the collections trying to decide which one is your favorite piece. Let me just warn you...It is not an easy choice!
A few of months ago I had the chance to do a review and giveaway of the Lady Godiva Long Sleeve Tee and Pant Set in black. Made of 100% polymodal jersey, this fabric is really soft to the touch and a real pleasure to wear. The long sleeves top is elegant and very sassy at the same time with a deep V shape cut in the front that is really suitable and extremely comfortable.
You will also probably remember the recent review and giveaway of a matching mommy/daughter bathing suit!
I received the Baby Wild Child Luna 1-piece bathing suit for the ladybug and ladies when I tell you that this is the cutest bathing suit for a little girl I have seen, I mean exactly that, it just adorable!
Of course I invited them to be part of the Holiday Gift Guide and they agreed to participate!
On this occasion they sent me the willow PJ set. The Pajama set is made of 45% rayon / 45% polyester / 10% spandex jersey, the design is really classic and elegant while still very comfortable and cozy. The set features button-down Sleep Shirt, chest Pocket , elastic Waistband and off white trim to decorate the pants and the shirt. The set comes in two different colors: Dusty Rose and Shitake Heather, which is a darker color kind of like a light brown,and also the color I selected.
I Love the classic line of the set and how comfortable and soft to the touch the whole set is. Every year we get invited to a pajama party which is a real party but the guests attend in pajamas….It is the most comfortable party I ever attended and this year I plan on wearing the Willow pajama set from Eberjey.

Win it:

Holiday Gift Guide - Otterbox Review and Giveaway.

Closed.




Now days there are as many fun “ toys” and gadgets for adults as there are for kids and who doesn’t love the new technology fun toys like the iPhone, the iPad….And so many more out there? I know I do. I also know that these toys are not exactly cheap, so when I get one of those toys for grownups, I make sure to get the best protection for them ……As soon as I got my iPhone , I did a lot of research for the best protection case I could find for it and one name kept popping up: Otterbox , so I checked their site and their products and loved what I found.
I’ve had the Otterbox Defender Series case for my iPhone for a couple of months now and LOVE it, I wouldn’t go any other way and I know some other people that use the Otterbox cases and they feel the exact same way. So when I decided that the next toy I wanted was the iPad, I knew I would have to go with the one of Otterbox’s Newest additions, the Defender Series case for iPads!
What makes this case a must have? The case is Drop-proof, it also incorporates three layers of hardcore protection plus equally neat features like the fact that you can remove the back polycarbonate cover and snap it over the face and you get a great protection shield for the touch screen.
The case features a built-in stand that is perfect if you are trying to watch a movie or video, and makes browsing more comfortable. When using your iPad on a flat surface, the silicone grip pads on the bottom will hold your device securely in place, and it Holds on wonderful on smooth surfaces. I hate getting scratches on any of my devices, which is the reason why I buy protection for them as soon as I get them and this case really does a great job when it comes to protection.

The iPad Defender includes a black high-impact polycarbonate shell, a separate black polycarbonate shield, a silicone outer skin, and a self-adhesive protective film, it also includes a microfiber cleaning cloth and a stiff scraper tool for applying the protective film to your iPad screen. The instructions are illustrations printed inside the packet that contains the screen protective film and the cleaning cloth. One set of instructions illustrates how to apply the protective film, while another set illustrates how to remove the silicone skin, open the case, install the iPad, and close and set everything up.

The only thing I would change about this case is that the snap-off access for optional iPad dock doesn't come with an opening and closing flap for just the port itself, but is really not a big deal. The case retails for 89.95 and its worth every penny!
Buy it :
You can buy all Otterbox products at:www.otterbox.com
Win it:

Holiday Gift Guide - Elizabeth Grant Review and Giveaway.

Closed.






A few weeks ago I was introduced to a beauty product line called Elisabeth Grant and I have fallen in love with them. I was lucky enough to try the Total Regeneration Ultimate Cellular Concentrate. I was really interested to see if as they promised in their website I would be able to notice a difference from the first time I used the concentrate and to my surprise, this statement was 100% correct.
Florida Weather has really not been the best for my skin and this light, almost liquid, consistency Serum has worked wonders on my skin! The Ultimate Cellular Concentrate combines pure Torricelumn, Elizabeth Grant’s exclusive, clinically tested, superior moisturizing anti-aging compound with an intensive concentration of Plant Stem cells to help delay the appearance of aging by protecting and repairing epidermal skin cells. How does it do that? Well according to the Elizabeth Grant site, they explain that the skin is made up of millions of cells. In a young skin there is a natural and quick replenishment and repair of the skin. As we age the repair and replenishment rate diminishes resulting in skin aging – the skin loses its plumpness and moisture holding capabilities, lines appear and the skin starts to slacken.
Ultimate Cellular Concentrate helps to decrease the rate at which the surface skin cells deteriorate and at the same time, improves the rate of repair. This dual action helps to slow down the appearance of skin aging and helps to repair skin that has already aged.
The star component on the serum is the Torricelum and I wanted to see what was this “secret” component, so here is the definition for the Torricelum:
The heart of Torricelumn™ is extracted from the fronds but the true secret of its transformative powers is hidden within the pods that keep the clusters of fronds afloat. These pods lift the leaf-like fronds to the ocean's surface, allowing them to absorb sunlight, photosynthesizing oxygen, the source of life and energy.
I had the chance to try two more of the Elizabeth Grant products, and of course after trying the serum with the Torricelumn™ main ingredient and seeing the results, I wanted to keep on the same line and try more products with the same Torricelumn ingredient. Lucky for me I had the chance to try the Advanced Cellular Age Defense Day Cream - 50 mL which is really light weight and rich in nutrients and intensive moisturizing cream. According to the Elizabeth Grant’s website, the cream is enriched with a saturation of natural peptides, proteins and precious extracts from nature to improve the skin's cellular matrix promoting a flawless appearance. As with my past experience with the serum, I love the feeling of the cream on my skin and even more the results I get from the Elizabeth Grant products and this is a great addition to the serum.
From the Elizabeth Grant website HOW TO USE :
Pat 1 – 3 spatula scoops gently all over face and neck every morning after cleansing and applying Biocollasis™ Complex Day Serum. Avoid the eye area.

Technology
• Torricelumn™ – Elizabeth Grant's superior moisturizing compound.
• Glycine Soya – rich in glycol proteins, it helps to reinforce skin tone and elasticity.
• Ceramides – help to reinforce the skin's natural protective barrier, improve long-term hydration and protect the skin from external influences.
• Sephora Extract and Kiwi Fruit Water – help to reduce skin pigmentation and even out skin tone.

Clinical studies:
• 88% skin felt firmer
• 82% improved elasticity
• 91% wrinkle reduction
I Love the elasticity my skin is getting and certainly appreciate smoothness I get when using the cream…..I was also able to try a second product, so I took the logical route and got the Advanced Cellular Age Defense Night Cream - 50 mL, this cream is just the great to complete a perfect skin care trilogy. I have been using the combination of the three creams for a couple of weeks now and love the way my skin looks and how it really seems to add a healthier glow to my skin. Both the night and day cream comes with a spatula to apply the cream.
From the Elizabeth Grant website HOW TO USE :
Pat 1-3 spatula scoops gently all over face and neck every evening after cleansing and applying Biocollasis™ Complex Night Serum. Avoid the eye area.
Technology
• Torricelumn™ – Elizabeth Grant's superior moisturizing compound.
• 20 natural extracts, vitamins and enzymes to help repair the skin from the damaging effects of pollution.
• Peptides – help recreate conditions conducive to skin repair, cell and matrix turnover.
• Syn®-Ake – anti-wrinkle compound that decreases the appearance of expression lines. In vivo testing showed an impressive reduction of over 50% in wrinkle size after 28 days.

Clinical studies:
• 86% skin felt firmer
• 87% improved elasticity
• 92% wrinkle reduction

Holiday Gift Guide - Pure Pearl Necklace Review and Giveaway.

Closed.







I have done a few Pearl reviews…..Why? Because I love pearls and I am sure you do too…. Pearls are timeless and are one accessory that you can start wearing when you are a little girl and still use them when you are 100! I have always been attracted to pearl jewelry and own a couple of different pieces….. I Love pearls!
There is a lot to consider when you buy pearls so you know you are getting what is right for you. I have to admit that I was a bit ignorant about all the factors you need to take into consideration when getting pearls.
I came across a website that will not only sell you the pearls, they actually educate you about the different pearl types, colors, and shapes. It is a real joy going through all the different definitions that Pure Pearls has on their website……
The awesome pearls selection on their site was the first thing that attracted me to their site and then the learning aspect they offer kept me there for quite a while.

They offer some really unique designs that fuse the classic elegance of the pearls with some really elegant and modern designs that I absolutely loved. Trendy, fashionably and gorgeous pieces are offered all though the Pure Pearls more modern collection : The trendy collection and if you ever thought that pearls can’t be fun and fresh…..I invite you to take a look at this collection. I am sure you will change your mind with the first glance!
I have been dying for some pink pearls and Pure Pearls offers a really amazing shade of pink pearls in the catalog, so When they agreed to participate in the Holiday Gift Guide, I knew I would love to try one of their pink pearls necklaces!
As with my past experience with Pure Pearls ( I own and LOVE a pair of Freshwater Pearl Coin Earrings) the quality and the beauty of the pearls are outstanding, I am not an expert, but I do know quality when I see it! Each strand is hand-selected for it's superior luster and shape. Pearls graduate from 6.0-7.0mm, and you can customize your necklace further by selecting your desired length. You also have the option to pick either AA+ quality, or upgrade to AAA and the kind of clasp you want in your necklace and the length (going from 16” to 36”), obviously the price changes with the length.

Holiday Gift Guide - Sportline Heart Rate Monitor Review and Giveaway.

Closed.




I have recently starting to work out again…..I need to be in better shape before the holidays so I want to do all I can to reach my goal. I have started to use the DUO 1060 Women's Speed & Distance Heart Rate Monitor from Sportline to keep track of my work outs and I have to say I love this little gadget. The Duo 1060 allows you continuous and on-demand heart rate monitoring, and a digital pedometer functionality to calculate strides, distance, and even your speed.

There are many really neat functions on this heart rate monitor and the part I like the most is how easy it is to use ( after reading the instructions). I too often try to figure things out by myself, but this product is one that I had to actually sit down for a couple of minutes and read the instructions.
The Sportline Duo 1060 has 7 main operating modes: Time, Heart Rate/Exercise Timer, Interval, Chronograph, Alarm, Countdown Timer and Dual Time. Scroll through the modes by pressing  the mode key. You may acquire Finger Touch Heart Rate by touching and holding the Heart Rate Sensor in any operating mode….I love this last feature because I can actually monitor my heart rate while still running or on the treadmill, very accessible and convenient.
Power Down mode allows you to conserve battery life by deactivating the unit when the monitor is not being used for long periods of time. You also have the option to deactivate Power Save mode and resume normal operation if wanted by simply pressing and holding any of the keys for 3 seconds.
The Sportline Duo 1060 allows you to select from 3 preset Heart Rate Target Zones (Active, Fat Burn and
Endurance) and 1 user-defined Target Zone. The watch tracks time IN, ABOVE and BELOW Target Zone
during exercise which is perfect to help you manage your work out and also keep track of your progress while exercising .
Sport line provides you with a simple chart that helps determine which your target zone is:
Losing weight and managing to keep it off is a lot easier when you exercise in your target heart rate zone.
To get the most out of any exercise program, you should target 50% to 85% of your maximum heart rate
depending on your fitness level and objectives.
ACTIVE ZONE: 50% - 60% OF MAXIMUM HEART RATE.
This zone is ideal for fitness beginners on a low to moderate intensity program. Exercising in this zone
reduces blood pressure and cholesterol.
FAT BURNING ZONE: 60% - 75% OF MAXIMUM HEART RATE.
Exercising in this zone strengthens the cardiovascular system and nearly all the calories burned are from
fats.
ENDURANCE ZONE: 75% - 85% OF MAXIMUM HEART RATE.
Reaching this zone requires more intense aerobic activity and is perfect for fitness enthusiasts working to
burn maximum calories from fat and carbohydrates. Cardiovascular strengthening, increased metabolism and
elevated caloric burn are the primary benefits.
There are many features I love about the Sportline Duo and the Fitness Recovery Tracker is for sure one of my favorites. The Fitness Recovery Tracker measures and displays your heart rate range for a user definable time interval .This feature is useful to track your level of fitness throughout your training program which will also help you improve and motivate you ….I know it does to me when I see the different levels as I continue to work out and improve my resistance.
Another great feature is the intellitrack . This feature allows you to view your current heart rate in relation to your target zone at a single glance. The outer edge of the display screen is marked with a scale running clockwise from 0-100 Percent of Maximum Heart Rate. The visual bars display the range of your selected Target Heart Rate Zone.
A single segment displays your current heart rate in relationship to your selected zone. As I mentioned before this Heart rate monitor is an amazing tool to help you improve your workout routine and a must for any runners.
Make sure you take some time to go through all the functions and possibilities because you can really take a great advantage by using this very complete and yet simple to use piece of technology.
The The Sportline Duo 1060 is available for men and women (black and white), and retails for 119.00.
