TERRO Fruit Fly Traps Review & Giveaway

August 21, 2010 By Jen 22 Comments

Its summer and the fruit flies are full force!  I hate bugs! Any kind of bugs, but I really hate fruit flies with a passion!  No matter what I do or how often I make sure my kitchen stays spotless I am always greeted by these stupid little things!

Fruit flies are tiny winged insects that boast a meager length of 0.2 inches (3mm). They are brownish in color, with striped bodies and relatively large red eyes. They are perfectly adept in smelling food from great distances. With their great sense of smell and tiny bodies, fruit flies can maneuver into your kitchen through window screens, door jams, or any other crack in your home. Occasionally, they may catch a ride in your grocery bags or hatch from eggs laid in less than fresh food brought home from a grocery store.

A congregation of fruit flies can become a nuisance. Fruit flies feed on alcohol, which is produced when fruits and vegetables begin to ferment. The alcohol in wine, beer, and other alcoholic beverages is also appealing to fruit flies. Fruit flies not only feed on these foods, but also lay eggs in them that hatch into larvae in a matter of hours. In almost the blink of an eye, fruit flies can infest any kitchen and cause total annoyance.

We have tried everything on the market and even tried homemade remedies to get rid of them but nothing was working like I wanted!  Then I was asked to review the new Terro Fruit Fly Trap. This couldn’t have come at the perfect time! TERRO, an industry leader in pest control products for homeowners, is making it easy to get rid of these irritating pests with a highly effective new product.  New TERRO Fruit Fly Traps not only get rid of fruit flies, they are environmentally safe and the apple-shaped trap looks right at home in any kitchen. Of Course I agreed to test this. I am willing to try to do anything to get rid of these stupid things!. TERRO Fruit Fly Trap is designed to lure adult fruit flies, using a special food based liquid lure. Flies that enter the trap can’t escape to continue breeding. Traps are most effective when placed near breeding sites.

I admit at first I didn’t think this would work any better than my homemade remedy of vinegar in two-liter bottle.  However after watching it for the first hour and seeing all the flies around the Trap but none actually going into it I was thinking this was not going to work!  I just left and went on about my day.  A few hours later when I came in the kitchen I was very happy to see that all those stupid flies had went into the trap!!  So Far I am very pleased with the products and since the trap is actually a cute little apple it looks nicer sitting out than my other pervious ideas that I have tried!

So I urge anyone that is getting annoyed with fruit flies like I was to buy this product and give it a try. For only around $8.00 you have nothing to lose but fruit flies!

The Best Part Is I am giving away 1Terro  Fruit Fly Trap to one lucky reader! To Enter Please tell me why you would like to try this product. I will pick the lucky winner 9/3/2010 @ 11:59 EST PM. USA WINNERS ONLY

Lindo twist-n-roll tweezers Review

August 14, 2010 By Jen Leave a Comment

I am sure that you know by now that I don’t get my eyebrows waxed anymore and have upgraded to threading (the ancient eastern method using a string of thread).  After the first time I was hooked.   A couple of weeks ago I seen a post on Facebook about the twist-n-roll tweezers. I was very interested in this product and even happier that I was able to score a review!

Lindo hair remover is advertised as a twist-n-roll tweezers,  a tool similar to threading hair removal you can do at home.  For someone like me this was a big advantage! I could be doing touch ups at home..Or maybe forgo going to the mall to get them done all together!

Lindo twist-n-roll tweezers gently removes hair in one twist motion. It’s a gentle and natural alternative to other hair removal products. The Lindo hair remover works by using a line of coils that you bend in an upside “U” shape and place it against your face. As you twist the handles outward, it grabs and pulls hair out.

I was impressed with this tool but since I was wanting something to help me more with my eyebrows more than anything this was not the tool I need. The Lindo Twist-n-Roll can be used only between the eyebrows and above the eyebrows. Never use it under the eyebrows because it can catch and pull your eyelashes. However this is great for other facial hair.

THE BENEFITS:

1. Gently removes hair at the root.

2. Works on any hair type including peach fuzz and coarse hair.

3. Will not cause stubble or thicker new-hair growth.

4. Can be used without a mirror.

HOW TO USE:

1. Bend Lindo twist-n-roll tweezers into an upside down U shape and place the coil against the skin.

2. Twist the handles outward (roll the thumbs in).

3. While twisting the handles the coil should roll upwards against your skin and remove any unwanted hair in the process. Always keep the tweezers bent in the upside down U shape.

TO CLEAN: wipe with a dry cloth.

TO DISINFECT: spray rubbing alcohol on a cloth or paper towel and use it to wipe the coils.

RECOMMENDATIONS: To remove thick upper lip hair, placing a hot towel for 2 minutes before hair removal will help reduce the sensitivity. After a few times of usage, your skin will get used to it and you won’t need the hot towel any more.

Use it on upper lip, cheeks, forehead, chin, neck and more. works the same as hair threading For only 14.99 I feel every woman should have one of these in their makeup cases! SO Go buy yours today @ www.facialwork.com

Seventh Generation Back-to-School *REVIEW & GIVEAWAY*

August 13, 2010 By Jen 153 Comments

Monday We started back to school!  I will admit this year I really wasn’t ready for my kids to go back.  Dre started middle school and Jada started Kindergarten with Jasmine becoming a 5th grader!  My Emotions have been everywhere.   Back to school also brings Germs! I hate Germs and What I hate most is when my kids catch some nasty bug from another child at school.

With nearly 22 million school days lost each year due to the common cold and flu (CDC) and as many as 2.7 million bacterial found per square inch on common school surfaces (NSF International), it´s no wonder that 82 percent of parents with kids in grades K-5 fret about the germs in their children´s classrooms (according to a survey conducted by Seventh Generation).

Seventh Generation is a company that has been using the natural disinfecting power of thyme without using harmful chemicals in your home for over 20 years.  According to their website, these products kill over 99.99 percent of germs naturally and are effective against the Influenza a Virus, including H1N1.
This school year, Seventh Generation is sharing tips from best-selling author and pediatrician, Dr. Alan Greene, to help parents protect their child´s health during back-to-school season. Dr. Greene suggests taking the following precautions:

Optimize the immune system

  • Reap the benefits of probiotics like those found in yogurt. A recent study showed that children who received enough probiotics daily throughout the cold and flu season had a significant reduction in the number of illnesses they had and, when they did get sick, the symptoms were both milder and didn’t last as long.
  • Be sure your child is getting plenty of vitamin D from the sun, from food, or from a supplement.
  • Build a strong foundation. Good food, good sleep, and good physical activity all help the immune system to flourish.

Be wise about reducing unnecessary exposure to harmful germs

  • Teach children the key times to clean their hands in the classroom. The most important times include after sneezing, coughing or using the restroom, upon leaving “high-risk” places (recess, naptime, play stations) and before meals or snacks.
  • Sixty percent of teachers surveyed said that they request that parents donate disinfecting wipes to the classroom. Seventh Generation´s disinfecting wipes kill 99.99% of germs* naturally using the active ingredient thyme, a component of thyme oil which is derived from the herb thyme.
  • Stress the importance of not touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
  • Demonstrate to your children how to cover their mouth and nose for every cough and sneeze. This simple maneuver has spectacular results in decreasing the spread of viruses and bacteria floating about the room, waiting to be inhaled.

*Refer to disinfecting product labels for full details

I was able to Review disinfecting wipes, disinfecting multi-surface spray cleaner, facial tissue and paper towels Thanks to Seventh Generation and Blogsparks.  I really liked the products. I  also was able to send one canister of the disinfecting wipes and the box facial tissue to Jada’s Kindergarten class and the teacher loved the both!

Win It! One Lucky winner will receive a Seventh Generation “Back-to-School” kit that includes a Seventh Generation backpack, two canisters of Seventh Generation disinfecting wipes (one for home and one to donate to your child´s classroom), disinfecting multi-surface spray cleaner, facial tissue and paper towels.

TO ENTER: Head On Over to Seventh Generation and tell me what Product you would like to try the most and why. I will pick the lucky winner 8/27 @ 11:59 PM EST

America’s Next Top Model Wii Game *Review*

July 21, 2010 By Jen 3 Comments

# Interactive storyline, including love story, winning friends and making enemies # 7 Mini games - Styling/dressing, Make up, Hairdresser, Fitness, Photo shoot, Catwalk., Catfight # Roam freely through an open world environment, including the model mansion, seaside town, and giant outdoor shopping plaza # Shop for clothes! Customize outfits, make-up, hairstyle and more

Do you have what it takes to be America’s Next Top model?  Well now is your chance to prove it, all from the comfort of your living room.  ‘America’s Next Top Model Is the official video game of the wildly popular TV show, and it is available on the Nintendo Wii.  This is one of the most fun video games I have played.  My daughters love it!  You get to take control of one of the 10 aspiring models and have to master the catwalk, light up your photo shoots, and choose your hair designs and makeup while being graded in each activity against the other models.  Who wouldn’t love a game where you get to go shopping??

This game can be very addictive as it places you in an interactive real life storyline that involves meeting friends amongst the other contestants as well as making enemies, the ability to move about through multiple real world environments and adopt an entire real life atmosphere all while trying to master contests that come up as I mentioned earlier.  It is so much fun.  As you choose your various outfits and makeup for the weekly contests, consult with your coach about tips for the weekly challenges and even steal secrets from the other models, you are brought before the panel each week and one girl is dismissed just like the show!  Master all of your unique tasks and it won’t be you and you can go on to be America’s Next Top Model.

This game is so realistic that it can be very addicting.  I am sure your thinking  ,you don’t get any exercise, SORRY but You  get a real workout at the fitness center and during catfights.  Me and my daughters love it!  Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

Bonsai Trees from proflowers.com Is a perfect gift idea! *Review*

July 20, 2010 By Jen 2 Comments

Last Friday I was able to receive this gorgeous Sago Palm Bonsai tree courtesy of ProFlowers.com.  I was able to choose from quite a selection of bonsai trees, and gift baskets and although they were all great, I decided to pick the Sago Palm Bonsai tree.  I have my living room and kitchen décor in Palm trees so of course this was my pick and it fits perfectly!

Item Description: * Easy to care for, our miniature version adapts to indirect light or full sun and needs only occasional watering * Comes with an ornamental river rock * Arrives in a cream-colored, hexagon-shaped, glazed ceramic container (similar to container shown here) * Plant: 14"-17"H * Pot: 7" x 5" x 2 1/2"H * 4-7 year old tree * NOTE: Plant maybe toxic when ingested by animals or humans. For safety, keep all plants out of reach of pets and children. If ingested, please contact your veterinarian or doctor. * Item #30002001 Practiced for centuries in China and Japan, the art of bonsai captures nature's beauty in a confined space. Not your traditional bonsai tree, the exotic, tropical Sago palm brings a bit of paradise down to earth.

I’ll admit this is my first bonsai tree.  I didn’t know what to expect.  I just knew it would be delivered by FedEx.  I have had flowers ordered and shipped but never a plant.  The day it arrived I was working and couldn’t slip away to open it. I worried the whole time but, hey then I start thinking it’s been on a FedEx truck so I’m sure it’s ok sitting upstairs by the cool air vent.   When I got off from work I ran upstairs to open it.  Wow that was a job itself!

I was very impressed how well this was packaged. It took me 10 minutes I know to get it opened and unwrapped.   I was getting a little annoyed to say the least. HEY I WANTED TO SEE MY TREEE LOL.  After I got it unwrapped with the kids all around I was in awe! It’s so gorgeous.

The pictures on the ProFlowers site OR MINE don’t do this tree no justice.  My Daughter Jasmine even started begging for it so she could put it in her room!

I was also very happy that it had care instructions with it!  I also love the fact that I don’t have to water it EVERYDAY! I am a busy mom I forget things!  Lucky for me it says water every 5-7 days!

I can’t wait to enjoy watching it grow. I have already planned on ordering a 2nd one just like it.   I highly recommend checking out the bonsai trees from proflowers. They would make great unique gifts for that special person in your life that will be something to keep forever!

Breyers Smooth & Dreamy ice cream bars and sandwiches *Review and Giveaway*CLOSED*

July 17, 2010 By Jen

Summertime evokes the greatest memories: those of lazy days, long nights, time with family, and delicious ice cream treats! It’s time to revive those memories — and create some new ones. There is no better way to stay cool then some delicious Ice Cream!  It would also be nice if that tasty ice cream wasn’t loaded with fat and calories which is why I would recommend Breyers’ Smooth & Creamy Ice Cream Bars and sandwiches.

The new Breyers Smooth & Dreamy ice cream bars and sandwiches prove an excellent treat for me at the end of a long day. With six rich and creamy flavors, including Chocolate Caramel Brownie, Vanilla Caramel Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Vanilla Fudge Brownie, and Triple Chocolate Chip, Breyers Smooth & Dreamy bars and sandwiches offer something for everyone. And with no artificial flavors or colors, 160 calories or less and 4-6g of fat per serving, and delicious mix-ins and swirls, these bars and sandwiches make for refreshing snacks and desserts

Even all of my fellow chocolate covers can’t complain about a delicious triple chocolate chip bar with chocolate ice cream, a chocolate fudge swirl, and dark chocolate chips all dipped in a chocolate coating that is only 130 calories and 6g of fat!  That is much less than the 210 calories in a single Hershey’s bar with triple the chocolate!  These bars definitely won’t ruin your diet!  ice cream

The chocolate covered strawberry bars are only 120 calories and absolutely delicious.  The kids and I have one every so often after a long hot day.  Sometimes Princess Jada has to have 2!  We didn’t care too much for the Vanilla Fudge Brownie Sandwiches however; But Overall I think these are great as the creamy light ice cream sacrifices no flavor but offers it with less calories and fat.  At a price of $4.29 for a box of 6 they are extremely, and did I mention they have fewer calories??

Also check out the  spin the wheel of delights. instant win and sweepstakes game Breyers has going on right now.

Oxy Clinical a new way to Fight Acne *Review & Giveaway*

July 16, 2010 By Jen

Acne affects 85% of Americans at some point in their lives, which makes it the most prevalent skin disease in the country.  Among teenagers, about 90% develop acne, and it can last all their teen years. Many adults also have acne; Adult acne affects 25% of all adult men and 50% of adult women at some time in their adult lives.  I am 30 and still suffer from mild acne. I really thought I would outgrow when I got in my 20’s!   Acne is what doctors call a chronic condition, which means it can last for years—even decades in adults. Because there is no cure, the key to a clear complexion is control and prevention with the kind of medicated daily maintenance therapy.  Luckily the vast majority of acne breakouts can be successfully treated with topical over-the-counter medications

OXY’s focus on the “science behind skincare” has led to the creation of their new Clinical System which incorporates patented technologies with prescription-strength ingredients to ensure a quick and discrete solution to acne, or what my daughter so eloquently calls “the bane of my existence.”  OXY Clinical delivers a new level of treatment technology in a system that can be applied on a daily basis in our home.  Each of the system’s three treatments contains an advanced delivery system technology that helps the product work continuously over time. This allows OXY Clinical to provide clinical results without a prescription while remaining gentle enough for everyday use and it won’t over dry skin.


The OXY Clinical Clearing Treatment penetrates deep into pores killing the bacteria, while the Advanced Face Wash uses AcneShield technology to unclog the pores and fight flare-ups.  To complete the treatment process, the Hydrating Therapy delivers nutrients to replenish acne-prone skin while fighting blemishes and controlling oil.

The products’ patented, acne-fighting technology is clinically shown to eliminate 99% of acne bacteria in 8 hours. So what does this mean to you and your teen?  In short, it works; and when an embarrassing breakout appears, that’s what matters.

I have been using this product for a week and I can all ready tell a difference!  I admit I have spent a lot of money over the years and tried a lot of different Acne products.  I didn’t have any dry or itching symptoms like I have with other well known product that is heavily advertises on TV and magazines. . *Cough* Proactiv.  Even if you’ve tried other products that haven’t worked for you in the past, OXY® Clinical could be the solution you’re looking for. I would recommend you to try it today! To Get yourself a free OXY Clinical sample head on over to the site and enter your info today!

WIN IT!  One Lucky Winner will win a OXY® Clinical Acne Solutions Pack. To Enter tell me who you would like to win this for! I will pick the lucky winner 7/29/10 @ 6 PM EST.

Diaper Pail Test Drive – Diaper Genie

July 6, 2010 By Jen 1 Comment

If you read my last post you know that I was involved in the Diaper Pail test Drive tour From Mom Central. Where I tested 2 of the biggest name brand Diaper Pails.      The Diaper Genie has been around for a while.  I remember having one when my oldest was a baby.   Time sure has changed.

With the Diaper Genie II Elite System is incredibly simple to use with its foot pedal for hands-free disposal.  The taller ergonomic design means it’s easy for you to hold your child and dispose a diaper at the same time. Just step, drop and go. The Diaper Genie II Elite System takes care of the rest. To empty the pail, use the internal childproof cutter and seal. Diapers and odors are gone in an instant. Double-Lock design seals in odor keeping your baby’s room odor free. It has five-layer refill with odor-barrier technology. Foot pedal allows for easy, hands-free disposal unlike original Diaper Genie System, no twisting required.

Product Description

Antimicrobial. Odor-inhibiting. Hands-free. Words only a mother could love. Parents and babies alike can enjoy the fresh smell of their nurseries with the Diaper Genie II EliteTM Advanced Disposal System. This next generation Diaper Genie is #1 in odor control and includes other new features to make diaper changing more hygienic and easier than ever. The Double-Lock design and multi-layer film seals odor into the pail and out of your nursery unlike an ordinary pail and plastic bag. Diaper Genie II EliteTM System is the only pail with Ultra-Fresh* Antimicrobial Protection built into the plastic to inhibit odor-causing bacteria. Diapers only touch the film, not the pail, so there is one less thing to clean and less worry. Plus, the Diaper Genie II EliteTM System is incredibly simple to use with its foot pedal for hands-free disposal. The taller ergonomic design.

Being a former owner of the older Diaper Genie I already thought this would be my favorite one. However, even with some nice changes I am not that impressed.  Don’t get me wrong the Diaper Genie is still a very great diaper pail but with anything it has its con’s.  I love that the new design is taller and also has the foot pedal. Now what I hate is the older diaper Genie twisted each diaper up in the plastic and makes a chain of diapers to throw away and this one don’t.  I was not really pleased with that because I felt that helped control the odor control better.  I also had more odor control issues with the Diaper Genie than the Munchkin Arm & Hammer pail. each time the pail is opened to deposit another one, the room is immediately filled with that horrible smell.  However, I have read other reviews say just the opposite.

My Older kids decided to put this together before I had a chance and I had a hard time Fixing it so Just make sure you read the instructions because if you put something together wrong, it is very hard to get apart to correct.

Over all I rate this product a B+

I am a member of the Mom Central community and I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central, sponsored by Diaper Genie, and received a free Diaper Genie diaper pail and a free Munchkin Arm & Hammer diaper pail to facilitate my review.
