Review & Giveaway: Zippies, The Fun Way To Personalize


School is back in session and many parents worry about lost backpacks, jackets, and also the spread of germs.  Zippies is a great product that can help lessen those worries.  These cute and fun id tags are great for kids of all ages they easily clip to your children's backpack, lunch bag, or jackets.  There is a spot on the back of each Zippie to write your child's name and emergency contact number.   


Zippies also have an elastic band that easily fits over water bottles, or other bottled drinks.  This will help in the spread of germs, as the bottle is clearly labled and no one will mistake that bottle as theirs. 


Their are so many cute Zippies to choose from.  Our family favorites are Tazmo, Faina, and Flops.  I love the cute character faces and bright vibrant colors of each Zippie.  


No more boring ID tags, use Zippies to accessorize your children's school supplies and more. My kids love these and their friends are always asking where they bought them from.    


Zippies sell for $4.98 each or $29.95 for the entire limited-edition first series.  They can be ordered online at www.zippiesfun.com and found at select retailers.

"Real Steel" World Movie Premiere Night


by Jamie Hackbarth

What an amazing night we had  at the world premier of Real Steel held at the Gibson Amphitheater in Universal.  This is such a great family movie and it pulls and tugs at your heart as you watch the story unfold. Will Charlie finally make right with his son Max? Will the "underdog" robot win?

This movie is being slammed by critics as a movie that is "seamless" and "plotless"  but as a Mom I  saw it  in a different light. I had to give it a different review; a different perspective from the critics who were shredding it to pieces. As I watched the movie, I was viewing it as a "mom"  ( one that told my then 5 year old that because Spider-Man was rated PG-13, he would have to wait until he was at least 11)

Would my kids fall asleep or tell me they were bored watching it? No

Would they tell me they needed to go to the restroom? Nope!

I thought that the story was cute and the action was packed just right. Nothing gory or something that your child would lose sleep over due to nightmares.

This movie had some bad language ( and I heard it because I was listening for it)  but in all honesty I think is appropriate for ages 6 and up.  I think that this is not a date night leave the kids with a babysitter type of movie but it does warrant being watched ( take the kids- they will love it)








Synopsis
A gritty, white-knuckle, action ride set in the near-future where the sport of boxing has gone high-tech, Real Steel stars Hugh Jackman as Charlie Kenton, a washed-up fighter who lost his chance at a title when 2000-pound, 8-foot-tall steel robots took over the ring. Now nothing but a small-time promoter, Charlie earns just enough money piecing together low-end bots from scrap metal to get from one underground boxing venue to the next. When Charlie hits rock bottom, he reluctantly teams up with his estranged son Max (Dakota Goyo) to build and train a championship contender. As the stakes in the brutal, no-holds-barred arena are raised, Charlie and Max, against all odds, get one last shot at a comeback.

Review & Giveaway: Cream Perfume Company ~Your Choice of Product~



I had the chance to review Cream Perfume Company lotion and cream perfume. The Sandalwood lotion has a delightful long lasting, light fragrance and I loved the spa like feeling when applying it.  The lotion is fast absorbing and it’s light and creamy texture feels marvelous on your skin.  This seriously one of the best lotion I have ever tried.  


I love applying this to my smooth just shaven legs for an extra silky feel that last for hours.  It leaves your skin feeling noticeably softer. This is a great product to wear out on your date nights with your hubby or guy friends.


Product Description:


Professional spa treatment. Paraben free natural formula rich in botanical extracts and vitamins. Pure and naturally derived oils and extracts from nature combined with premium french designed fragrances to combat dehydrated, sore, inflamed and damaged skin. Improves elasticity and helps activate the natural regeneration of dermal tissue to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. No sulfates, phthalates, silicones, artificial colors or, petroleum-based ingredients. Cruelty free and 100% vegan, wheat and gluten free. 8oz tube.


Good for the environment, Cream Perfume Company boasts a product line with absolutely no sulfates, petro-chemicals, synthetic dyes, triclosan, GMO, PPG, MEA, DEA, TEA or formaldehyde donors. 






I love the tropical feel of the packaging. It makes me feel as though I am visiting a some distant tropical spa.  A nice feeling when you want to get away from it all.






The small jars of Cream perfume are just the right size to carry around with you when you are traveling, or just to put in your handbag as a little refresher.  I received two fragrances of the Cream Perfume.  The Ylang Ylang is my personal favorite.  I love the fresh floral scent of this perfume and love the different texture of the perfume.  This is not like your ordinary perfume spray.  This is a soft, luxuriant, cream that has the consistency of a chap-stick.  The fragrance does not easily fade, and will last quite a long time.





Product Description
Enjoy exhilarating scents of ylang ylang, mandarin and jasmine in this classic perfume. Trailed by notes of apricot, cedarwood, orange flower, patchouli and musk. 10g / .35oz




The other Cream Perfume I received was the Peach Baby Perfume. This one definitely smells like fragrant sun ripened peaches. I love this fruity summery fragrance.  It is quite different than the Ylang Ylang.  Of course,  I don't always like to wear the same fragrance so this is perfect.





Product Description
A young romantic heart of peach paired delightfully with cardamom, surrounded by a light fresh combination of orange, violet and cassis at the top with a soft flirtatious base of raspberry and musk. 10ml / .35oz

Disclosure: I received a free product for this review. No monetary compensation was offered or accepted for this post. The opinions above are my own. Others’ experience may vary.
