This program has had me on the computer for hours playing with my pictures to see how I can create the next masterpiece of my family.
 
 
 
This is random pictures that I was able to make in to this wonderful Collage of my family. We have 7 children and it is so hard to get everyone together for a group picture, so I have found a way to make those memories for all of us to treasure.

Shave Well Fog Free Mirror Review & Giveaway

I can't tell you how many times i have went in to the main bathroom that my teenage boys use only to see the sink covered in hair...from them shaving!

I have purchased a few mirrors over the years for the boys and hubby to use in the shower but they always end up just hanging there because they fog up and they can't use them. As most teenage boys are , mine are vain and need to see themselves as they shave and after as well.


Last week i received the Fog Free Shave Mirror to review. I was optimistic and hoped that i would finally not have to look at and clean up the bathroom sink every morning.


So, here we go. I sit my boys down, explained to them how simple it was to use this, that all they had to do was run the Mirror under warm shower water for just a few seconds and hang it back on the hook. Keep in mind, i was speaking to 4 teenage boys who usually never listen to me. I also explained to them how they would get a much better and cleaner shave if they shaved while in the shower AND they would have one less nasty chore to do ( cleaning up the bathroom sink, which they all hate)


The weekend was coming up, and i just knew i was going to find the Bathroom sink all yucky once again. So on Saturday evening after 2 of them had showered and shaved, i calmly walked in to the bathroom to see the damage....can you believe it!!!!!! The sink was clean, yes, it really was. I looked in to the Shower, and hanging there, was the Fog Free Shave Mirror....and sitting on the side of the tub was their razors and shaving lotion...No way!


So i ask the boys how the mirror had worked for them, and i got rave reviews. The boys stated that they never once had to wipe fog from the mirror and loved the fact that they could shave without getting out of the shower.

The Fog Free Shave mirror works well for women too. exfoliating in the shower can help reduce pores and it always helps when you can see what you are doing. I love the fact that you can easily make sure you have removed all your makeup as well without getting out of the shower only to see you still have traces of mascara under your eyes and have to repeat the cleaning process yet again.


This mirror also has a few other "wow" factors for me. It is manufactured right here in Knoxville, Tn ( Go Vols!) where i live , at Sunshine Industries.

Sunshine Industries  ( The Cumberland Companies, LLC) employs mentally disadvantaged adults and gives them the opportunity to hold down a regular job,

Many of you know, i have a 16 year old mentally disabled daughter, who, without the help of companies like Sunshine Industries, might never be able to hold a regular job. I applaud companies such as these and love to rally support for the companies who know the value of employing individuals with disadvantages who otherwise would not have the chance to live a normal type life such as those who are otherwise capable.


The Fog Free shave Mirror is also the #1 selling mirror on Amazon, and can be purchased HERE


The Cumberland Companies , Sunshine Industries, is offering one of my readers a Shave Well fog free Mirror Of their own

    MagnaPlay Review & Giveaway

    Just Brie....bringing you the bottom line on.......  

    Magna Play Magnetic Coloring Travel Set
    Each week I travel on average of about 500 miles and always with my kids. I always have a hard time trying to come up with different things to keep the youngest occupied in the car while I drive. I frequently hear “I’m bored” and “Are we there yet?”

     
    Even in the electronic age we live in now, my daughter quickly gets bored with the Kindle and I find myself getting frustrated because it’s hard to pay attention to the traffic on the interstate while trying to play “road games” and I end up with a death grip on the wheel. 


    I can't wait to surprise my kids with more from the MagnaPlay line.
     
    Coloring books and Crayons are great but they cannot compare with the Magna Play Magnetic Coloring Travel Set.

    The Set comes with :
     
    1 MagnaKase - Magnetic Dry Erase Activity case with 2 magnetic surfaces. ·

     8 Reusable Color and Erase (8" X 10") pages. Option to buy either the Search-A-Word coloring puzzle or What"s Wrong with this Picture Coloring Puzzle sheets. These sheets do not come with magnet strips fixed to them. THESE COLORING SHEETS SHOULD BE USED ONLY WITH DRY ERASE MARKERS. Crayons can also be used to color these sheets.

     
    · 2 double-sided magnet strips (8" X 1") that secures coloring pages to the magnetic activity surface, for coloring with crayons, color pencils or markers while on the go.

     
    · BIC dry erase, low odor markers 4 count (black, blue, red, green colors). The fine tip markers are ultra low odor, non-toxic and is washable off of skin with soap and water. The markers have a Vented safety cap, Anti roll cap and Extended cap Off formula.

     
    · 1 Felt eraser. The 2" x 1 3/8" x 11 1/16" eraser is made from recycled wood and is virtually indestructible. 

     
    The MagnaKase is a case with magnetic receptive surfaces that serve as an activity board.
     
     The MagnaKase does not contain magnets and metal objects will not stick to the magnetic surfaces.
     MagnaPlay Magnetic Coloring Travel Set
    On our last trip, which was 4 hours round trip, I took the MagnaKase with us and as soon as my daughter got bored with the Kindle, I was able to pull the MagnaKase out and let her give it a try.
     I fully expected to hear the “I’m Bored” within minutes. However, to my surprise, after 5 minutes of constant chatter about how cool it was, she got right to work on the coloring sheets. 

     
    Of course, after each sheet, she wanted to show me her creations, but in my best “mom” voice, I explained to her that while driving I couldn’t look right then but that if she would put them in her MagnaKase, I would happily take a look at the masterpieces when we arrived back home.

     
    Not only was she happily occupied throughout the rest of our trip, she was able to keep everything together and put it all right back in the MagnaKase for the next trip.
    Magna Play’s products are all also eco-friendly and use the “write-on, wipe-off” which eliminates paper.
    MagnaPlay also offers many other wonderful products including wooden Magnetic toys and many Educational activity sets.
    The Magna Play Travel Coloring set is currently on sale for only $30 on the MagnaPlay website, but one of my lucky readers will win a MagnaPlay Travel coloring set of their own
