As I mentioned, I had a great time at the AmericasMart Market ... 
I learned about so many products and I am so glad to get to share some of my findings with you!!!

One that I learned of?
The Chilly Pad.  

I will tell you now, I have seen this in different stores and I have thought about buying it.. But something kept telling me not to ... 
Then, my mom had a wise idea about a product she wanted to help her stay cool when she sleeps... so, I bought it for her as a mothers day gift and nope... It did not work...  So, I was not about to strike out again with another cooling product that was just a joke... 
(This is now 2 products for my mom that didn't work... Was this going to be number 3? )  

Luckily for me, I was able to get a Chilly Pad for review!  

Well, actually Marc is using it and I will be purchasing a new one for myself!!!


 The chilly pad is basically this really cool towel... but not a towel at all.. 

When I first opened it, I thought they had packaged it wet, as it felt that way..but then I noticed that it was not wet at all...  Hmmm... on to something already.  
With the Chilly Pad, you just pour water onto it and then that is what cools you...

How does it work?  I don't know "how" but I can tell you how to use it... 

It's very simple...  
Just pour water onto the chilly pad... wring out the water... then put it on your head or whatever is hot and it basically sucks the heat out of you...    




I honestly don't know how it works... but it did the job!!!  
I tried it first one day (I get hot easily and when I am hot, I stay hot!!)  
It was "hotter than a sinner on Sunday" in just a few minutes... 
I rinsed it in water, got the water out and applied again... 
This joker was taking the heat out of me and it was awesome!  
 

Marc totally being silly (I have noticed he makes these goofy faces many times in "review" photos... Not sure what that is about!)    I asked Marc to try it when he went running... He was scared to run with it... as he didn't want to lose it, but he said he used it as soon as he finished and plans to take it running with him each time now!  How awesome? He just used some of the water from a bottle of water in the car!  

Back when I used to work in the sports bar, we had NO AIR CONDITIONING... It was miserable... (Long story for another day)  but I tell you what.. we used to take the linen napkins and run them under water... then place them in the freezer and wait till they froze to place on our necks... This would have been faster, easier and looked so much better!!!


If you are one that gets hot easily.. 
Or if you are into sports, I say check out Chilly Pad... 
They have so much more than just this pad... (You can even cut this to different sizes if need be!)  
Take a look and you too will be impressed!  

Finally!  A cooling product that works for us!!!!

    That looks sweet! Mica and Travis are head sweaters. This would be great for them.

    I bet my husband would like it at work, or he would have in the summer. It cooled here and is now downright chilly. I think we had two weeks of hot. Period (all summer). Highly unusual (our weather, not the chilly pad :) ).

    I like that you can cut these to the size you like.

    Very interesting. My daughter is ALWAYS hot in the summer and sweats a lot. We love to be outdoors and go hiking, camping, etc. I'd love to get her one of these!

    Oh my gosh I so need one of these.I'm going through menopause and when I get hot flashes it's terrible. I had chemo a couple years ago so that's another thing that makes me sweat.I'm definitely going to look into this for me and my sister.Thank you so much for sharing :)

    I've heard of Chilly Pads, but have not tried them and don't know anyone who has. I'll definitely consider them after reading this review.

    What a fabulous idea! I have not heard of these but I'm going to check them out. My mom is 71 years old & still push mows all the grass at the little estate she lives in. This is just what she needs!

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

Momma Must Have - Exergen Temporal Thermometer- Review and Giveaway

Image
As we all know, it can sometimes be a bit difficult to take the temperature of a sick child. Hey, some adults are known to be big babies... The longer they have to wait, the fussier they become. Well, with the Exergen Temporal Scanner ... Wait is something that can be eliminated! Why do I say that? Just because the wait is merely 2 seconds! During that time, you will already be finished a gift giveaway blog hop, exergen temporal scanner, mom must have, R nd moving on to something else. I really like the ease of the Exergen Thermometer. It has a soft tip on it that you gently swipe across the forehead of your "patient." There are two things that make this stand out compared to others that I have used. One - If you are sweating, you can place it behind your ear to get your temperature. Two - There is a light on both sides to show you that it is on. I like that, as I sometimes worry if it is on or not... You know how I can be! First, remove the protective cap... Turn it on...
