I have to start by saying that I love how silly Marc can be when he knows I am taking pictures for the blog... Like, seriously... He makes the faces that he never does in day to day life... For example.. I needed  / wanted pictures to show this new product that we were sent (that he had been going on and on about since it's arrival)  I asked him to wait a few days and then shave, so I could photograph him...
Here he is giving me this look for the first photo:
Love that look!!!  What would you call it?
With Marc being military, you know that means he needs to be clean shaven and ready... Well, he waited a few days to shave, just so we could see this product in action...
Check out all that hair!!!
 We were sent the Grooming Selection from Somersets...
Somersets Grooming for Men provides everything a man needs to care for his face! Treat the guys (and their skin) to Somersets Shaving Oils, Shaving Gels, and Pre- & After- Shave products. Unlike chemical foams and soaps, Somersets products are formulated with a proprietary blend of organic essential oils such as Lavender, Tea Tree and Rosemary. Somersets products do not contain any chemicals that can harm the skin or the environment.

Marc and I were a bit skeptical about using just a little of the oil to shave...   
So... With the Somersets line, you use just a little oil and supposedly you can shave... With no issues...

Marc needed to shave his face (and his head)  
So, when the product arrived, Marc was quick to use it..
I was gone when he shaved.... but you better believe that when I got home, he went on and on about how impressed he was with the surprise I had waiting on him..  
I knew he was excited, but I was really excited when I was able to use the Women's Shave Oils!!!
The thing I loved?  You just use a couple drops of the oil to prepare your skin... Then, just shave like normal..  After we were done shaving, it was amazing.. Your skin feels great and we did not even need any lotion to moisturize afterwards! 

Marc normally doesn't use aftershave or anything like that.. He normally just shaves (with lotion) and then uses the same lotion to moisturize when he is done...  Now, with the Somersets line, he really loves to actually take care of himself and use the pre-treatment, the oils and then the after treatments!!!  He doesn't do it all the time, but when he has time, he does like the "pampering" like everyone else does!
I love that the oil comes in a tiny bottle (think of a nail polish bottle)  It is small, takes up hardly no room...
Wow... Impressive!
This is also great not only for the house, but also think about it...
Taking up less room when travelling?  Can't be beat!
( I was also thinking about this being a great product for him, if he ever deploys again... It is small to take up less room in his luggage ... but also for when I would mail it to him... small means less room in the care package... but also lighter weight!!!
If you shave... check it out... They have for both men and women!!!

    So nice that the skin feels good after a shave because way too often it doesn't!

    He looks good with and without a beard, but so totally different! I like that it just takes a little oil instead of a big face lather full of cream (that I end up having to clean up).

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...
