Del Sol

Have you ever heard of Del Sol?  If not you are in for a real treat!  It is my new favorite summer store!  Del Sol has amazing apparel and accessories that change color in the sun! 

My favorite product is their nail polish.  It will be one color inside and then once you go outside it changes.  I love that it works the whole time you have it on (not just for the first few days...)

They have so many products to choose from- from t-shirts, sunglasses and now even hair accessories and jewelry.  My girls LOVE to wear anything Del Sol.  I love how the color change is instant!  You don't have to wait 10 minutes for the color to change once you get inside or outside.  

If you want something to spice up your summer then I would recommend heading over to Del Sol right now!  Enjoy!

Miche Bags {Review & Giveaway}

WINNER: Comment #164 Heather!! Congrats!

I am a huge fan of the designer handbags that Miche Bag makes! They make me smile because I am serious purse addict! Some women love shoes... not me.. I LOVE purses! The first time I used my Miche bag (pronunced mee-chee) I couldn't stop smiling and (should I really tell you this?) I kept looking at myself my purse in every reflection.

I recieved a large bag to try out along Sandy. Meet Sandy:

My daughter (age 4) took this picture of me with my new friend :)

Miche Bag is so perfect because it consists of an inner “base” and an outer “shell”. You can easily change the look of your bag by switching out the shell. You can SAVE MONEY and stay in touch with the latest colors and styles without having to buy new purses all the time. Miche bag will SAVE ENERGY and TIME because you don't have to pull everything out of your purse and switch it to another bag so you can match your outfit, not to mention it will save you room in your closet!

  

It is as easy as 1-2-3 to change your look!

SO convinent!! Now I don't have to take everything out of purse A when I want to use purse B.

This is the small black purse (with no shell- they also have brown)

  

Here are some of my favorite shells for the small purse:

Air-O-Swiss {Review & Giveaway}- CLOSED

Winner: comment #62 Miranda Ward

 

Air-O-Swiss is a fabulous company that has a wide variety of air treatment systems.  I was thrilled when they offered me the AOS 7135 Digital Warm & Cool Mist Ultrasonic to review.  This is the fabulous humidifer that I got to review:

These are a few of my favorite features:

• Large LCD display
• You can adjust the amount of humidity you have in the air!  When that level is reached it shuts off! 
• Timer allows for 1 to 9 hours or continuous operation
• Transparent water tank (water level clearly visible)
• "Industrial strength titanium membrane surface, the quality of which guarantees fast dispersion of mist into the air, ensures long lasting use" Or in my words- high quality!
• Empty and cleaning indicators- it shuts off when it is empty!  My other humidifiers that I bought for $20 or something just keep running even if they run out of water and well.. we have gone through a lot of those because the motor keeps burning up (oops!)
• You can have cool or warm mist
• They have a little cap that goes over the hole so you can adjust the steam to go different directions and don't have to actually move the whole machine! So smart.

I loved being able to have total control of the the time, humidity and temperature!  I wasted a lot of money on cheap humidifiers and now I finally have one that will last!

 BUY IT: If you are unsure which system you should purchase... just take their online questionnaire that helps you determine which product would work best for you.

momAgenda {Review & Giveaway}- CLOSED

momAgenda sent me one of their Desktop organizers.  I love how there is a spot for all of my scheduling stuff and 4 other spots!  I put my kids in two of those, my husband in one and then I have one spot left for my vinyl lettering business- Giggly Gumdrops.  I love how they are all separate and I don't have to have everyone's schedule all together on my calender so I have to sort through which appointments are mine and which ones aren't. 

There is even a spot to put your dinner plans!  Here is my beautiful planner:

Here is what it has:

• 
  
  Unique week-at-a-view format with space for mom and up to four children. Features monthly views too.

• 17-month calendar runs from August 2010 through December 2011.
• Featuring the momEssentials pamphlet that can be removed and reused from year to year.
• 7 stylish, stain-resistant colors: Fuchsia, Zebra (New), Tangerine, Chocolate, Turquoise (New), Ruby (New), and True Purple .
• Personalization is available in two fonts: print or script. Choose from three colors: gold, silver or blind-emboss. Please note: Only letters may be used for personalization, no numbers. *Zebra books are embossed in gold; therefore, we recommend personalizing them with gold lettering.
• Size: 7"x9"x1".

It also has two ribbon markers so you can have one on the monthly view and one on the current week. 

You can also check out their Free printables they have samples of the pages that are in their Desktop organizer and some of their others as well.  This way you can try them out and see if it is for you.  They also have other organizer pages like a school check-list and a holiday lists.

Moms into Fitness {review)

I have been looking for a great workout DVD for quite a while.  When I came across Moms into Fitness I was VERY interested because the name itself told me that it would be geared towards moms.  I was so excited to get the "60 Day Slim Down System" and get started! 

The only thing about reviewing this... is that I actually had to work out!  :)

In the 60 Day Slim Down System I received these 4 DVD's

I liked working with 4 different DVD's because it changed things up for me.  I have found in the past with workout DVD's that they are too complicated- you practically have to be a dancer/cheerleader or someone more coordinated than me to do them.  I loved Lindsy Brin's DVD's because they were simple moves that didn't take weeks to learn.  I think my two favorite DVD's were the "Post Natal Boot Camp" one and "Shed 5 Fast". 

The 60 Day slim down system also comes with a meal plan, fitness plan, progress tracker and a fit level test. 

I love how you can actually track your progress and see how you are progressing throughout your workouts!

I wasn't able to follow the plan exactly as it was planned out for me because by day 2 I took the Diatasis Recti test and realized that I have it and am in the "less than 5%" group that still have it almost 2 years after having a baby.  I had no idea!  But thanks to Moms into Fitness I was able to find out what it is and how to work out with it.  Moms into Fitness have DVD's for helping us moms get over the trauma our bodies go through due to pregnancy.

They also have this great series to get you through your pregnancy and afterwards!

If you are wanting something different still... you can get workout downloads right to your phone or computer!  What a great idea!

Go and check out their Recipes and other DVD's that they have to offer!  Buy a new workout DVD for your New Years Resolution or for now!  They are offering you a 20% discount!

Enjoy!

Reebok Easy Tone Flip Flops {product review}

What are Easy Tone flip flops?

Reebok Easy tone flip flops: "Step out in Reebok Women's EasyTone Flip2 Thong Sandals and take the gym with you everywhere you go! Reebok now has a thong sandal that actually tones and strengthens legs, and helps you burn more calories, as you move about your day-to-day activities. DMX technology features balance pods under the forefoot and heel that exchange air flow, forcing leg muscles to work harder, like walking on sand, without discomfort. This EasyTone sandal is three times softer than traditional foam-based shoes, so you'll burn up to three times the energy. The Flip thong sandal features a soft suede sockliner and a crinkle leather upper."

Here is one of my favorite reviews of the flip flop:

"Reebok Easytone Flip Flops are the perfect summer sandal which will give you a chic look whilst helping to develop buns of steel."

I want to look chic while developing a buns of steel! ;)

So, How does it work?

"Balance pods in the soles create instability to which your legs automatically compensate, increasing muscle activity significantly. Whilst instability in a flip-flop is not altogether a good thing, a wrap around strap design and anatomically moulded footbed keep the flip-flops firmly fixed to the feet at all times.

The thong straps are constructed out of hard wearing leather for comfort and durability, with a super soft woven lining to keep the feet in perfect comfort

Upper

• Full-grain leather thong straps run around the heel of the shoe for extra support and to keep them firmly on the feet
• Ultra comfortable soft lined foot straps
• Patterned insole for style with a moulded footbed for support

Sole Construction

• Balance pods in the outsole generate more muscle activity increasing the value of exercise and toning the legs to perfection
• A non-marking grooved rubber outsole gives excellent grip on any surface
• A rigid medial post reduces torque
• Dual density DMX foam embedded in the sole gives exceptional cushioning to the heel and ball of the foot
• A curved sole protects the toes"

I had the opportunity to work with Reebok and review their Easy Tone Sandals. Reebok's customer service was very kind and very quick to answer all my questions. I really like these sandals. My first impression upon putting on the sandals is that they are very comfortable. They are said to be three times softer and I believe this to be true because they are very comfortable when you walk. Upon wearing the sandal, I could tell a difference in my walking. They compare this to walking on sand. I felt good as I walked in these shoes and enjoy them very much. I have not worn them long enough to notice any change in the tone of my legs but I can feel the difference when I walk. These sandals have great reviews where many people have seen changes and felt the great effects of them. I really like the sandals and would definitely recommend them. I really like the look and color and feel that they are comfortable enough that I wear them everyday.

I love the quote that they have on the bottom of the shoe. It says, "Take the Gym with You". How great is that! I know how hard it can be to get to the gym. This allows us to do our normal errands or take a walk and get more of a workout while doing it.

Comfort and toning? Who wouldn't want this!

These Reebok EasyTone flip flops are perfect for the summer. This is a perfect way to keep cool in the summer while still toning your legs!

You can visit Reebok online to shop for many great styles of shoes for men, woman and children. Or visit here to view the different Easy Tone styles of flip flop and shoe. I would like to try out their shoes too, to see how they feel! I'm sure they are just as comfortable. Aren't these cute!

Thank you so much Reebok for allowing me to review your sandals.

Just Be {Review}

I love hand stamped jewelry but have never had a chance to own it until Just Be sent me my custom necklace.  It was so easy!  All I did was tell them what I wanted and then they designed it.

I loved that they were so helpful and quick at getting me my order.  They were able to do whatever I dreamed up.  My necklace is beautiful!  It is exactly what I wanted. 

I also love this one:

Isn't it cute?  I should get it for my daughter- she calls dandelions "wish flowers" because you make wishes when you blow on them. 

Just Be has SO many different things to choose from!  Everything from necklaces and bracelets to key chains, rings and more! 

Go to their blog to see more great products!  Leave me a comment and let me know what you would pick out!

A confession...

Ok, so I have a confession to make.  When I was younger I REALLY wanted eyeglasses!!  I tried to convince my parents that I really couldn't read the signs on the road until they got really close.  I finally talked them into taking me to get my eyes checked (I really don't think they bought it for a second but they took me in anyways). 

When I got examined and the doctor told me that I did not need prescription glasses I was SO sad!  I had even lied a little during the test too! My sister was so "lucky" she got to get cute new glasses and I didn't get any!

Now I am grateful of course that I don't need glasses but whenever I see someone who looks really cute in glasses I wish I did have a pair, atleast a fake pair.

Did you know that you could buy glasses online?  Glasses USA has some great deals on glasses!!  You can even get 10% off your next purchase by using the code: savvymomsaves

Hurry~  because this code expires 7/25/2010

If you are lucky enough to need glasses- ENJOY! :)
