As a blogger, I am at my computer off and on throughout the day.
Nothing is worse than sitting there with a chill...
Well, now I don't have to worry about it!
I have been able to review the USB Heated Shawl/Blanket!

I love it!!!
We were sent one in blue for review.
I plugged it in and a little bit later, I could feel a bit of warmth.
Now, personally, I wished it would have gotten hotter...
(But, I said the same thing about our electric blanket... I have determined that I want it to possibly burn my skin or something, as I was wanting HEAT and Marc was saying it was on! But anyways, back to the blanket....)

The USB heated blanket comes with 2 USB cords.
1 cord for low warmth, 2 for a higher warmth.
I also wish it was a bit bigger, but that is because I am greedy!
Ha ha!!!
It is a shawl/lap blanket and it is the perfect size, but once I felt the softness of the blanket, I wanted it to wrap up in!!!
I plugged it in while I was at the computer and used it both ways.
I really like that they have a button and loop on it for use as a shawl.
(Surprisingly, the heat hits right in the upper part of my back, behind my neck and it in turn made my whole body warm!)
Then, when I used it as a lap blanket, it was comfy, but as I said... I wanted it for all over, not just my lap! :)
After I was finished at the computer, I placed it on Marc's feet (he ALWAYS has cold feet!) and he started with this huge grin talking about how nice and warm it felt!
I guess we both won in that situation!!!!

    I used to have an office job, YEARS ago, and this would have been perfect!!! The office was always freezing and I would have loved to have this heated USB blanket for warmth!

PowerMat - Review and Giveaway

Image
Please let me go ahead and just say... I think/KNOW that the PowerMat will be one of the HOTTEST items this year! Have you heard of this? I mean, seriously! This is Awesome and I am using that since I can not think of any other way to explain it... (Are there really words that would explain something this cool?!) Okay, let me just cut to the heart of it... The PowerMat is just that... A MAT full of POWER! It is a little bit longer than an average book... Thinner than a cell phone. It looks like a skateboard (in my opinion.) and it charges 3 different technological gadgets at once! Do you know what that means? You NO LONGER need 3 cords, no more messy tangles... Just one cord to plug the mat in and you are done!!!! I was sent the PowerMat for review and I am so very impressed! The PowerMat can charge 3 different items... Marc and I have blackberries... (They can now BOTH charge on here AT THE SAME TIME!) We also have several IPods ... The docking station for the IPod can charge my...

Fire Fly Toothbrushes - #giveaway

Image
Is it a hassle to get your younger kids to brush their teeth? Broxton loves it and asks throughout the day if he can go and brush his... Now that he has a new toothbrush!!! We were sent a couple toothbrushes from Fire Fly Toothbrushes and I just love the concept! With Fire Fly, they light up! You just press the button and they light up for a solid minute. What we do here is a little system. First, Broxton brushes his teeth for the first minute. (just a teeny bit of toothpaste) Then, I brush the next minute (once again, minimal toothpaste.) Finally, he gets to brush them a final minute (no toothpaste.) The system is working and his teeth are clean! During the day, when he wants to brush them.. He can, but with no toothpaste. He really just likes the way it lights up. Doesn't hurt that the toothbrush is a hot wheels car!!! He also has one to leave at my parents house.. It is a snoopy one and lights up blue! Talk about a cool item to show the grandparents!!! Not only c...

Hurry Up! Review & Giveaway

Image
The Holidays are getting closer and closer! Some may want the days leading up to them to "Hurry Up!" So, with that in mind... I want to kick things off with a pretty cool giveaway!!!!!!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game is kicking things off for us... Check back daily to see what is in store!! Hurry Up! The Dice Game, by Random Line is a hit around here already! True enough, Marc and I did not follow the directions, exactly as we were supposed to, but that was because I did not read them all the way! In our defense, we just wanted to see how much fun it would be to prepare for when the boys are here again! (Note, it will be a big hit! I can see it already!!) This game is super fun and as the name says... Hurry Up!!!! You have 6 die and 6 challenges... One dice is blue... and that adds for lots of fun!!! You only have 30 seconds to complete the challenge... and you might think that 30 seconds is a long time, but in actuality, it is NOT as long as you need it for some challenge!!!!...
