Born 2 Impress Be my Valentine - Savvycents Review and Giveaway.


Closed.




One thing I have learned to do ever since I moved to the states, is to look for deals and coupons for the different stores and especially those for the grocery store…..Saving a few dollars is always a good thing and you can get awesome deals when you use the coupons. My only problem was actually keeping them organized and on hand…..Saving the coupons and then leaving them at home when you go shopping is not to savvy, but what is savvy is to get something to organize and carry your coupons around without taking up all the space in your bag which was the case with the old coupon organizer I had.
A few weeks ago I found Savvycents and liked the simplicity and especially the size and way that it allows me to have my coupons and gift cards well organized and easy to access. The Savvycents wallet is not only functional but also fashionable. It contains everything you need to organize your monthly or weekly budget using a cash system. With an accordion style file system inside the wallet you can separate money, coupons, receipts or store discount cards by categories. Your wallet comes with file cards where you can label each category with pre-printed labels. There are also blank labels where you can customize your wallet based on your personal categories. You no longer have to carry envelopes or zip lock bags to separate your money and coupons, or like me keep forgetting your coupons in your home or car. Your change will also fit nicely in a coin pocket located on the backside of the wallet.
I have been using the wallet for a few weeks and I can’t tell you how happy I am with my new coupon organizer! The Savvy Cent is as big as a wallet (8" x 4") and features slots to keep your coupons organized by categories. It also has slots to keep your gift cards or credit cards, (6 pockets for debit cards and store discount cards). On the opposite side there is a place for your driver's license and a place for your checkbook.
One thing I love about the Savvycents, besides the fact that it is so handy, is the looks and size of it. I have no problem replacing my wallet for this when I go food shopping (I usually don’t carry a handbag when I go shopping). It looks really sleek and it is very comfortable to carry and since it is of a good size it is actually easy to just put it in your shopping cart while doing your shopping. One more thing I love about Savvy Cents, is the price, it retails for only 24.99.

Born 2 Impress Be my Valentine - Pearl Distibutors Review and Giveaway.

Closed.





What can I say, I love pearl jewelry , they are elegant and classy….They are timeless and you can add so much to an outfit when you are wearing pearls. Not to mention that there is such an amazing variety of colors and shapes and different tones: Akoya pearls, black pearls, white pearls, Tahitian pearls……
I first learned about Pearls Distributors a few months ago when I had the chance to review one of their black pearl bracelets. I was really excited and when I received the beautifully packed bracelet a few days ago you can say I was a really happy Mommy.
In this opportunity I was lucky enough to try another one of their beautiful high quality pearl bracelets. This time the bracelet is a light and gorgeous shade of pink! The bracelet sells on their website for 53.00, but the retail price is 245.00 and they send you an appraisal certificate with the retail price. Now that is a great value difference, but the pearls quality is outstanding, so you are paying less but still get a high quality product.
I am not a pearls expert, but I am usually very good at picking out good quality on different products and as I was reading through Pearls Distributors Quality Statement, then I knew I wasn’t wrong about the quality of their pearls: They encourage new customers to purchase with a 90 day money back guarantee a strand or even a pair of AAA earrings and take it in to their local jewelry store or another online pearl company to compare the quality. That is quite a guarantee!
I also learned that they are a family run business and they actually accept custom requests and make pearl strands in any length, type, or color combination for their customers. They get pearls direct from pearl farms in China, French Polynesia, Japan and the South Pacific and sell directly to the public without the expense of a retail store so they can sell them for just a fraction of the retail value. Another plus is that they offer free shipping for any purchase over $75.
Pearls are a great gift for any occasion and certainly perfect for Valentine’s …..With so many options and awesome price tags, you really can’t go wrong at the Pearl Distributor’s!
Win it:
Pearl Distributors has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free AA+ Quality 6.0-7.0mm White Cultured Pearl Bracelet.
To enter this giveaway, please visit Pear Distributors and tell me which product in their catalog is your favorite. This is mandatory to participate.

Born 2 Impress Be my Valentine - Plow and Hearth Review and Giveaway.

Closed.



I have recently posted a review and giveaway for Plow and Hearth : The Village Dip Bowls With Caddy .
The set is great for any gathering and entertaining where you want to have a few large or even small snack and nuts. The bowls are 2-3/4"H x 4-3/4" and the caddy is 4-1/2"H x 5-1/4"W x17-1/2"L. So the whole set does not take a lot space while it does hold a good amount of whatever you want to have in the bowls, perfect for places with limited storage spaces.
The very versatile scrolled iron caddy can be used separately for serving other items or just as a cute vase for the bowls that come in three different colors: mustard, olive, and a brick red color one, which is really nice, because they match many more decorating styles.
I have been looking for a set like this for quite a while, but until now I did not found anything that was this good of a fit for my limited storage space and the quality and the craftsmanship is great.
I’ve used these for everything from different types of nuts, to different types of serving salsa for chips and salsa, to serving mustard, ketchup, and relish for cookouts.
Plow and Hearth is a trusted national catalog, retail, and internet company specializing in unique, enduring home and lifestyle products that are quality-built and guaranteed to meet their customer's expectations.

What began as a small retail store in Madison, Virginia in 1980 has grown to include their flagship brand, Plow & Hearth®, plus two others that have joined their family during the past quarter century. Plow & Hearth offers unique, high-quality products for home, hearth, yard and garden. Problem Solvers® provides practical solutions for everyday living. Wind & Weather® offers a complete selection of indoor and outdoor weather-related instruments and gifts, plus elegant home and garden ornaments. The Plow & Hearth family of brands also has a growing list of retail stores.
You know me and my passion for online shopping, so whenever there is a special occasion to shop for presents….I am more than likely doing all my shopping on line! And since Valentine’s day is just around the corner, I am doing all my shopping now and of course, I start first with the stores that I know and love and you can include Plow and Hearth on that list.
DH and I spend a significant amount of time in front of our computer and we (specially me) like sitting on the floor while working, so I was really excited to try the Multiangle Chair in Khaki Green. The chair features an internal metal locking mechanism that allows you to choose from five comfortable positions that goes from fully reclined to upright. This is great seating for floor activities like games, reading and watching TV, or in my case work on the computer while sitting on the floor. The cushioning on the chair provides you with comfort and the back gives me the support I missed when sitting on the floor or using just a cushion….. I love the chair and to make it even better it matches my furniture to perfection!
Unfortunately the chair is not available any longer( I guess I am not the only one who really likes the chair), but fear not, one lucky Born 2 Impress reader is going to have the chance to get a really nice valentine’s present for a special person or for yourself.
Plow and Hearth has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free 50.00 Gift Certificate. To enter this giveaway, please visit Plow and Hearth and tell me what you will buy if you win the certificate as well as who you are getting it for.

KidCo GO POD- Review and Giveaway

Closed.




A few months ago I found what I thought and still do think is a really neat product. The KidCo's PeaPod™ travel bed does it all for the on-the-go parent! I was very interested in the product, actually Kidco carries a great selection of equally interesting products for modern day parents and many of them are a great alternative to limited spaces like my condo.
Kidco has recently launched a new and very innovative product called the GO-POD. The GO-POD is an ultra lightweight, portable activity set created as an alternative to bulky, stationary activity centers that traditionally take a lot of space and are difficult, if not to say impossible to store away. The GO- POD one-of-a-kind 'mobility design' makes it a must have for in-home or travel needs.
I was really excited to see and try this new product as we are seriously thinking about going for bug number two and have so limited space at our condo. The first thing I need to mention is the weight of this product, the GO- POD is only 7 lbs. The second big seller is the dimensions. The activity set is: 6.5”W x 6.5”L x 29.5”H when folded and 24”W x 24”L x 19.5”H (at its lowest seat level) when opened.
Great quality on materials and impeccable craftsmanship are present on the product and the color combinations are very modern and attractive. I received the Go-Pod - P7000 Features
Quick Silver which is a yellow and silver combination that will be perfect for either a boy or girl.
One of my favorite features besides the ones already mentioned is the Locking Button. This ensures that the Go•Pod is locked in place; safe for baby, and gives mom peace of mind. Another definite great feature is the Four Seat Height Positions – Grows with baby for appropriate leg/feet positioning.
The GO-POD comes with an attached Floor Pad –To Keep baby’s feet from touching undesirable surfaces and away from germs. The GO-POD has five nylon toy loops to hold baby’s favorite toys and keep them entertained, drink and snack holders, and is extremely easy to set up and fold and even easier to carry around and store ( it comes in a storage bag , which includes a pocket for wallet, keys, ipod, etc. And a shoulder strap for easy transport).
The GO-POD is truly a great product for parents with a reduced space ( or not) and a must for parents on the go! I love products that are made to make a parent’s life easier and this is certainly one of those products.
The GO-POD is available at selected retailers across the U.S and has a tag price of approximately 55.00, a great buy by all means! The GO-POD is meant for kids approximately 4 months to walking, (once the baby is capable of holding up their head) and about 12 to 26 lib.
Win it:
KidCo has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free GO POD! To enter this giveaway, please visit KidCo and tell me what other of their products you will like to try. This is mandatory to participate and no other entry will be valid if not completed properly.

Born 2 Impress Be my Valentine - Skagen Designs Review and Giveaway.


Closed.



I am very particular when it comes to picking a watch……Small wrist and big hands, so my watches have to be small and since the watch is the piece of jewelry that I always wear, I want mine to be trendy, elegant, and simple at the same time so it can actually match anything I am wearing…..I have been looking for a watch with these qualities with no luck until I came a crossed Skagen Designs.

Even when though the watch is a little bigger than what I usually go for when it comes to watch, I couldn’t help but love the unique look and design on the watch…..The slim ceramic case and band, three-hand precision Japanese quartz movement and super-hardened mineral crystal makes this watch  a very trendy time piece.
The White Ceramic Glitz women’s watch is embellished with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS that combined with the white back drop on the watch, make this watch a one of a kind.

Melissa and Doug -Puppet Theater Review and Giveaway.

Closed.





It is not a secret that I am a big fan of Melissa and Doug toys and if you ever owned one of the toys you know the reason why. For those of you that for whatever reason have not been introduced to this toy line, let me give you a little introduction to Melissa and Doug.
The company started twenty years ago, in the garage of the home where Doug grew up. Now days, Melissa & Doug is one of the leading designers and manufacturers of educational toys and children's products. They carry everything from puzzles to puppets, plush to play food, magnetic activities, music and more. I was first introduced to the line a couple of years ago when my mother in law brought home a couple of the Melissa and Doug wooden puzzles for the ladybug and fell in love with the quality and the battery free toy concept.
The brand offers a wide selection of educational toys that help little ones in the development of their creative side fuelling the kid’s imagination. This very friendly toy line will not only keep them entertained, but can actually help in the kids development and as a parent that Is something that I can certainly appreciate.
I own and love many of the Melissa and Dough puzzles and the work tool bench that has been a great hit in my house. Today, I am very happy to bring you a review of another great Melissa and Doug product. The Puppet Theater as I have expected from any Melissa and Dough product is made with high quality materials and great craftsmanship. The theater is about 52" x 18" x 24.75" Assembled and features a sturdy, non-tip base and plenty of room inside for a puppeteer or two, a clock with movable hands ,a chalkboard panel for playbill information, and velvety curtains to complete the adorable set up.
The Puppet Theater is fairly easy to set up and I will recommend you keep the little ones away while you are assembling it as it has small parts that can become a choking hazard for the kiddies. The Set does not include the puppets, so make sure to keep that in mind if you want the kids to start enjoying a puppet show right away. The good news is that you can also find cute puppets for your theater at the Melissa and Dough store!
Win it:
To enter this giveaway , please like Melisa and Doug on Facebook and then head over to their store and tell me which other product is your favorite.

Born 2 Impress Be my Valentine - Next Day Blinds Review and Giveaway.

Closed.






I will love to introduce you to a new great find: Next Day Blinds!

The wood blinds came packaged extremely well. Everything you need to install the blinds (except the screwdriver) were packaged together as a unit; this made it nice when installing the blinds. Each blind had a label that contained the order size of the blind, room location, and whether the blind was ordered for a inside or outside mount location.The installation instructions are detailed and very easy to follow.The installation was very simple and took about 15 minutes per blind to install.

When you open the box, the first thing you notice is that these wood blinds are more beautiful in person than what you see on the website. The smell of the real wood is also nice. The color of warm mahogany that was pictured on the website is true to the color. These blinds match our other mahogany furniture as well as cherry wood furniture. It's a perfect blend. The quality of the wood is wonderful! I would definitely recommend the deluxe valance, it makes the blinds look like the ones you see in model homes.

Once installed, the blinds transformed our family room from a "kids" family room, to a "elegant" family room. It is amazing that just installing these blinds can make such a difference in a room. What is also great about these blinds is that you can have them open, partial open or fully closed. The fully closed made our room nice and dark, which will also help dramatically with our electric bill! Not to mention, that we now have privacy with our blinds closed.

I LOVE THE BLINDS!! From the ease of ordering them, to the quick shipment (one day!), these Custom Blinds are truly Custom Made for every order.( Last picture on the post are the actual blinds they sent me).
This is what I learned from their site:

Next day, really?

Yes, really. If you order blinds or shades in one of their stores or online, they will be manufactured and delivered to the store
or shipped to you in one business day-subject, of course, to material availability, weather emergencies, or other factors beyond their control.
That's the reason they started Next Day Blinds in 1993: to bring Washington-Baltimore area consumers, for the first time, premium-quality, fully custom blinds and shades in a day instead of weeks.
As their business grew over the years, they added their own professional measuring and installation team to our integrated sales and manufacturing model. These additional services have proven increasingly popular, but they do require additional time.
It's a process. Getting premium-quality, fully custom blinds or shades professionally measured, manufactured, and installed starts with a visit to a Next Day Blinds store or an in-home consultation. Then they work with your schedule to arrange convenient measuring and installation dates.
For in-home sales, they make every effort to provide installation at your request, up to and including the next day.
Full-service, installed sales through their stores typically take seven to ten business days from start to finish- although we always try to accommodate individual needs. (Weekend installation dates are in high demand and may not always be available.)

Febreeze Odor Eliminator- Review and Giveaway

Closed


Have you tried the Febreeze Odor Eliminator?
I have always been a big fan of febreeze products and having a little one around the house makes loving this product even easier…A little freshen up after the ladybug spills some of her milk on the couch….or just to give the sofa a little fresh touch in the living room is always welcome!
• I have recently had the chance to try another great Febreeze product:
Febreeze Laundry Odor Eliminator is a laundry aid that works in the washer with detergents to eliminate odors such as perspiration, cooking oil, grease, motor oil, pets, garden soil and mildew from virtually any washable fabric. While detergents clean the soils, Febreze Laundry Odor Eliminator cleans away odors that get trapped in fabrics.
I have to say I was not surprised with how good the product works…. I expected the kind of results it delivers after all it is a Febreeze product and so far I have not been disappointed once with the brand!
I have really put the product to the test and used on the ladybug’s blankets after a little over night accident, and even more impressive…..DH’s soccer clothing after a soccer match and that I have to say is not an easy task to achieve and the Febreze Odor Eliminator passed the test with honors!
The product is not a detergent, use Febreeze Laundry Odor Eliminator in any of your laundry loads with odors that can be hard to remove with detergent alone. These loads often include items such as work uniforms or clothes, sports or fitness clothing, cooking towels, or restaurant uniforms…..And of course soccer uniforms!
The Odor eliminator can be found at major retailers across the county, I received a coupon to buy my sample and even though they didn’t have it at my Publix, I found it at Wal-Mart.
Win it:
Two lucky Born 2 Impress winners will receive a coupon to try the product…….The Coupons expires at the end of this month, so this is going to be a really quick giveaway.
To enter this giveaway, please let me know why you will like to try the product and if you have used ant Febreeze products before. This is mandatory to participate.

Born 2 Impress Be my Valentine - Miraclebody Jeans Review and Giveaway.

Closed.






I wear jeans…Well pretty much every day ever since I had the ladybug. Finding a pair of jeans that I actually like the way they fit has become a real challenge as I need to lose quite a bit of weight and I have not done a really good job of losing the weight and keeping it off (at least not yet) ….So when a few weeks ago I came across the Miracle Body Suit jeans website I was really excited….They promise you will look 10 pounds lighter just by wearing the jeans and that was certainly something I was all for!
So how do they do it? Their handcrafted front control panel features a unique fabric (Miratex), to flatten and control the tummy. Another factor that makes these jeans so unique is that the jeans feature a contoured waistband. I don’t know about you, but those are features I can always appreciate on my jeans! For the review they sent me a pair of dark denim boot cut jeans and I loved the design even before I tried the pants on….and then I put the jeans on and I LOVED the result.
The jeans fit great, fabric feels tight in the right places without being uncomfortable and the design is really fashionable and trendy. The Miraclebody signature logo rivets and buttons along with our embroidered signature waistband add the finishing touch to the jeans. The Miracle Body Jeans are available in different washes and styles so you can find the color and design that best fits your personality.
I have to admit that ever since I received the jeans, they are my first option whenever I am getting ready to go out the door. I can’t tell you how much thinner they make me look, but I can tell you, that they do look amazing! Not only for the way they help me shape my body, but also for the design and really neat features like the fact that the pants are actually slightly higher on the back to prevent your underwear from showing. The pocket bags are stitched flat to eliminate unsightly bulk by the belly, patented embroidered back pockets with subtle embellishments designed to draw the eye inward give the appearance of a slimmer look. The handcrafted canvas control panel flattens the tummy for a smoother shape, and of course the two times more spandex than ordinary jeans to gently lift the rear while slimming the thighs…..A really neat pair of jeans!
Win it:
Miracle Body has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free pair of MiracleBody Jeans (128.00 value). To enter this giveaway, please like MiracleBody on Facebook and then head over to the MiracleBody store and tell me which design and color is your favorite….Choose carefully, what you choose is what you will get.

Born 2 Impress Be my Valentine The Brag Company Review and Giveaway.


Closed.






Last year around this time I was introduced to a very unique and one of a kind store…..The Brag Company offers the cutest solution to keeping your  bra from losing its shape.    For instance ruining your look and it is a great way to keep all your underwear at hand and protected at the same time. The Brag Company has come up with adorable protective storage and travel bags for padded bras.
I received the Tosca print for my first review and I LOVE IT!! It is really cute and stylish and fits my bras just perfect. No more ruined and misshaped bras !
I love the concept, the designs, and specially love not having to go through my whole suitcase whenever I need to find my bras and most of all I love keeping my bra’s shape!  And if I wasn’t in love with this company already (which I am). They also have the matching Panty bags! The panty paks separate the clean from the not so clean panties and that is exactly what I had the chance to try on this occasion.
The pantypak is as cute as cute can be and unique as the Brabag and made with the same quality materials as an excellent craftsmanship.   This is definitely a must for people on the go and I have mine already packed with the underwear I am taking for my trip in a few days.
The handy travel bag zips shut and helps keep you organized wherever you go, the bag is really lightweight, soft and compact, so it takes pretty much no space.  With two inside zippered pockets to keep your "clean" and "not so clean" panties in their respective spots!  The 'panties' on the outside of the bag are also pockets for additional storage space.
The bags are not only useful, but extremely cute and make a fun and different gift option for a bachelorette party, a birthday and the upcoming Valentine’s Day.
Win it:
The Brag Company has kindly offered one lucky Born 2 Impress reader, the chance to win a free Brabag of  choice.
