A few days ago, Disney sent me a copy of Tinkerbell and the Legend of the Neverbeast on Blu-ray Combo Pack. Fawn (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) loves animals, even the more dangerous one. After the arrival of a green comment, she discovers an animal that she’s never seen before & quickly befriends it, naming it Gruff. However, Gruff’s appearance is tied to the appearance of the comet & is believed to bring about the destruction of Pixie Hollow. Will Fawn and the others discover a way to protect Gruff from the Scout Fairies (let by Nyx) and save Pixie Hollow? While the other fairies appear, the movie primarily focuses on Fawn…which is a bit of a departure from many of the previous Tinkerbell films. The storyline was good & I really enjoyed it, though I think that The Pirate Fairy is still my favorite (has nothing to do with Tom Hiddleston, not at all lying through my teeth). My daughter loved the film and has watched it at least 6 times already. However, I thought that ...

Product Review – Leather Nova
Last week, I was sent several Leather Nova products to test out and review. Leather Nova products are made with natural and non-toxic ingredients, making them environmentally friendly. I products I received were the Leather Cleaner, Leather Conditioner, and Leather Conditioner & Cleaner. Each cleaning product also comes with its own applicator/towel. I have a leather couch, loveseat, and chair set in my living room. My husband bought them when he first bought the house shortly before we started dating, so they are around 10 years old. The couch has the most wear from sitting on it all the time (and one of the dogs licked some of the color off in a few spots), but all in all still looks mostly new. We’ve never used any type of cleaner on it, so I was curious to see what it would do. I started out with the Leather Cleaner on right armrest (one closest to the door). It’s in a spray bottle & comes with a microfiber towel. It use, spray the cleaner directly on the towel and ...
Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash Review & Giveaway [ENDED]
Last week, I was sent a bottle of Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash to try out and review. The body wash contains Marula Oil, which deeply hydrates and nourishes skin while protecting it from skin-damaging free radicals. The body wash is amber in color and has a very pleasant smell. The first time I used it, I noticed right away that it creates a very thick lather. I normally use a lot of body wash to make sure that I have more than enough to wash with. With this, I don’t have to use quite as much since it makes so much lather. It left my skin feeling soft for the majority of the day. It also didn’t irritate my skin, which is always a plus. Overall, it’s a very nice body wash and definitely worth a try. It’s available in most stores, and you can find out about the rest of Dial’s body wash line by visiting their website. The Giveaway Three lucky readers can win a coupon good for one bottle of Dial Miracle Oil Body Wash (11.75oz or larger; coupon expires 5/31/2015). To enter, tell me ...
Product Review – Vehicle Magnetic Sign from BannerBuzz
Last week, I was contacted by BannerBuzz.com and asked to try out and review one of their vehicle magnetic signs. All of the signs are customizable, and you can easily upload your own artwork or use their design tool on their website. I got to design at 12x6 sign. I ended up using Photoshop to design my sign since I had to recreate the blog banner into a larger version of the link button. I ended up splitting the sign; one half being for my design site, the other for this blog. There are a few file specifications you will need to know if you are uploading your own, like having the image between 600 – 1200 dpi. You can see the full requirements here. I didn’t go through their upload process, as the rep had me send my file to how directly with all my info. A few days later I had my new car sign. They shipped it in a sturdy shipping tube, which I can use to store it when I’m not using it. It came out looking great. Since it’s kind of narrow, I will be putting it on the back of my ...
Product Review – Fé Fit Women’s 90-Day Workout Program
A few weeks back, I was sent the complete set of Fé Fit Women's 13-Week, 90-Day Workout Program to try out and review. It has 28 videos, each around 30 minutes, that are designed for women to help firm and tighten several areas and well as lose weight. The set comes with several flexible tracking calendars, so you can workout anywhere between 3 to 6 days a week. They also give you little charts and stickers that you can use keep track of where you are & also tells you which of the workouts you will be doing that day. You will also need a set of 3lb hand weights, Pilates ring, exercise band, and a mat (I don’t use the mat). All of those items can be easily found at Walmart. I’ve been trying to aim toward 6 days a week, but I have been inconsistent as far as when I have time to do it. Plus, I have to be careful how much of certain things I do, like squats and jumping, because I still can’t bend my knee all the way & it ends up hurting too bad. Luckily, the exercises can be ...
Product Review – Handheld Wireless Milk Frother
A week ago I received a Handheld Wireless Milk Frother from MatchaDNA to test out and review. The milk frother has a stainless steel shaft & whip, runs on two AA batteries and quickly froths your milk. I was a little surprised when I first got the frother. It was very light and seemed very delicate. I thought that it was going to fall apart either during or after the first use. However, it worked perfectly and I’ve since been having a blast making all sorts of drinks. I’m not even a coffee drink but I’ve been using it to mix up Pumpkin Spice Lattes. They come out really good. In fact, it can be used for thinks other than frothing milk. I have found it to be perfect for giving my hot tea a quick mix after adding sugar. I have also used it for my eggs. You still need to beat the yolks with a fork to break them up, but you can then use the frother to make them fluffier. For cleaning, you can rinse it with warm water and soap. Just don’t get the handle area wet. I’ve been ...
