FHI HEAT: Do More: Awareness styling iron

NEW PINK-COLORED DO MORE: AWARENESS CHARITABLE-CONCEPT STYLING IRON GIVES BACK TO ONLINE RESOURCE FOR BREAST CANCER SURVIVORS

FHI Heat announces that it has renewed its charitable partnership with Pink-Link, a grassroots, non-profit organization which provides online support to survivors of breast cancer and others affected by the disease. FHI Heat will donate to Pink-Link a portion of proceeds from the sale of its new Do More: Awareness styling iron, the third in its Do More series of charitable concept styling irons that demonstrates its corporate commitment to “do more” for environmental, social and health-related causes. There are three different color-coded styling irons in the Do More series, each color benefiting a unique charitable cause.

When I received my Do More: Awareness styling iron I was really excited! I love using my iron to jsut smooth out my hair, and it helps give i a little shine. I love that it doesn’t make my hair frizzy, nor does it burn my hair.

“I received a product for this review on behalf of the company. All opinions are solely my own. Others who may use this product or service may have different opinions.”

“The continued partnership between Pink-Link and FHI Heat means so much to me and our organization, states Vicki Tashman, Founder of Pink-Link. “We operate at zero overhead, and no one draws a salary, so every dollar donated by FHI Heat will be applied to the expansion of the site, as well as continuing our outreach efforts to the breast cancer community.” Unlike research organizations, the mission of Pink-Link is to create a virtual forum to provide support for women already diagnosed with breast cancer. The non-sectarian site hosts the only online searchable database of breast cancer survivors. A member can search and connect with other members with privacy and confidentiality through the Pink-Link email system. The site also provides professional support in the areas of nutrition, fitness, holistic health care and skin care through its “Ask the Expert” forum. Pink-Link has over 3,300 members in all 50 states and internationally.

The Do More: Awareness styling iron features beautiful pink, 1-inch plates with accompanying packaging, as well as FHI Heat’s signature high-heat (410 degrees) with fixed temperature control, combined with proprietary Nano-Fuzeion™ technology, a unique combination of Nano-Titanium, Nano-Titanium Dioxide and Nano-Silver particles. Together the triple function of the Nano-Fuzeion technology removes bacteria, toxins and static, producing superior conditioning and shine, while providing unmatched health and purification benefits for the hair. Other features include: 3 layers of ceramic coating on the plates and a PTC heater – larger than any other PTC heater on the market – which allows it to heat up quickly and instantly recover heat upon contact with hair; and the largest quantity of crushed tourmaline crystals which results in the highest negative ion count. The Do More: Awareness styling iron retails for $120.00. FHI Heat will donate $1.00 from each sale of each styling iron to Pink-Link, and highlights the mission of Pink-Link on the product packaging.

VTech Toys: KidiZoom Camera *Giveaway*

Since getting my own digital camera when Sam was 2 she has been fascinated with taking pictures with it. When it broke last year not only was I devastated but so was she, not to mention Sarah was 2 and starting to get fascinated with picture taking too.  I eventually replaced my camera but was very leery on letting the girls play with it and take their own pictures. I didn’t want it to break and me be stuck with out a camera.

The girls were sad they couldn’t take their own pictures anymore. Then came the KidiZoom Camera from VTech Toys.  My girls are completely in love with the KidiZoom. Now they are able to take their own pictures, and I don’t have to be worried about them breaking the camera.

This sleek and durable digital camera allows kids to take, edit and view photos, and with 64MB of built-in memory, there’s room to save lots of photos! A USB port and cable connects the Kidizoom Pink to your home PC for viewing & editing photos, or photo printing.

One feature my girls love is adding a silly frame, or picture to the scene. As you can see below Sarah added reindeer antlers to Sam’s head.

Kidizoom Pink Features:

• Easy-to-grip 0.3 mega pixel camera in new color: pink!
• Includes built-in photo editor & 2 games
• 64MB of built-in memory (stores 400+ photos)
• Built-in photo editor can add 12 silly frames and stamps, or 2 kaleidoscope effects
• Tough rubberized construction

Sarah literally has not put the camera down. Well, for about 10 minutes while I changed the batteries. The camera comes with batteries, which is a huge plus. Finally a tech toy that requires batteries comes WITH batteries! (Note: you will have to replace them as they are not long life ones).

The best part is the price! At only $39 it’s a great price and a perfect Holiday Gift. Right now you can get the Pink KidiZoon on sale for $24 dollars!!!

VTech Toys Present: Active Play Dates with the Jungle Gym *Giveaway*

On Sunday not only did we celebrate Sarah’s 4th Birthday, but we also had a fun Active Play Date with VTech Toys new line Jungle Gym! The kids had a blast trying out the new toys and of course begged their parents for their own set.

Now, as an adult the first thing you think of when you see the Jungle Gym is that it’s mini exercise toys for kids. But really, the Jungle Gym is more for kids to use on rainy days, or during the winter months when they can’t get outside and burn off that energy.

And trust me, where we live it snows and the kids can not get outside to play. Some days they can’t even play in the snow because A) it’s a blizzard outside or B)its so cold the kids don’t want to go out, plus toddlers can’t handle being in the snow for more than 15-20 minutes.

So VTech Toys has come up with a product for toddlers for those winter months. It’s called the Jungle Gym. The Jungle Gym is a series of toys that help your child get exercise. The more your child exercises, the more they learn!

The series include the toys below:

Ride & Learn Giraffe Bike – ERP: $49.99 – Teaches toddlers (ages 18 – 36 months) letters, objects, numbers, animals and melodies through active play – the more kids pedal and bounce, the more they learn. Featuring a choice of five modes of active play including racing, ABCs, numbers, music and animals, children can learn letters and word association by cycling on the Ride & Learn Giraffe Bike and watching the built-in LCD screen as they pedal away. The seat is adjustable, so kids can continue to enjoy active learning as they grow.

Bouncing Colors Turtle – ERP: $29.99 - There is nothing slow about this turtle. Kids will find new depths of basic skills by sitting on the Bouncing Colors Turtle and bouncing their way to developing gross motor skills and balance. Bouncing on the seat or shell of the turtle activates different colors to light up on the learning panel, teaching kids colors and shapes through its encouraging phrases, silly sounds and playful melodies. Features two modes of active play to develop cognitive and motor skills. As children bounce they develop their gross motor skills and balance, and the learning panel light-up buttons reward discovery and exploration, while also teaching different colors.

Monkey Moves Smart Seat – ERP: $29.99 – The Smart Seat is just like mom’s rowing-machine, so kids can ―monkey see, monkey do‖ as they learn. As little learners move the colorful monkey’s arms up and down, the seat’s buttons light up – helping them master colors and numbers. Features two modes of active play to develop cognitive and motor skills. Any wild child will delight in laughter as they row with the monkey to speed up the music, causing the baby monkey to pop up through the lively jack-in-the-box. The attached bouncy seat keeps kids active as they slide back and forth to the music—and has two adjustable positions to grow with the child—while the stable base with foot rests promotes balance.

Twist & Learn Gorilla Pals – ERP: $14.99 - Tots will go ape over the Twist & Learn Gorilla Pals—a set of play dumbbells small and durable enough for their little hands. Each dumbbell contains a motion sensor so babies see flashing lights and spinning rings with each shake they make, encouraging fine motor skill development. Children will hear sound effects on one dumbbell, while the other plays a variety of encouraging phrases and teaches opposites including up/down and left/right. Tots will be entertained and learning for hours as the dumbbells encourage playful movement with their sound effects and melodies. Aside from the engaging turning ring, colorful lights and motion sensors, other features include an animated gorilla-motif button that plays wacky sounds children love.

Here are some images from the party:

Perfect for the whole family at an affordable price, the Blu-ray Disc/DVD Combo Pack offers a variety of options including a BD, standard DVD and Digital Copy of the film that can be transferred to any portable media device.

History is larger than life—and twice as funny—in this monumental comedy sequel that’s “better than the original” (At the Movies)! Ben Stiller leads an all-star cast (including Amy Adams, Owen Wilson, Hank Azaria and Robin Williams) as Larry Daley, a former night watchman at the Museum of Natural History, where the exhibits come to life after dark. But now Larry’s nocturnal friends are being retired to the archives of the Smithsonian Institution, luring him back for a hilarious, all-out battle against museum misfits who plan to take over the Smithsonian…and the world!

I actually watched this during one of my flights in September. I believe Hubby was with me and we paid the dollar for the ear buds to listen to the movie. I laughed at many of the scenes.

Hot Mama Designs *Giveaway @ MommyMandy*

As a mom I love wearing jewelry that shows off my girls. I love having that constant reminder of love on my neck or wrist. When Shannon, the owner of Hot Mama Designs asked me if I’d like to check out a piece of jewelry I was very excited. I was even more excited when a bracelet with my girls names on it showed up tucked in a black velvet bag.

When you order your jewelry you get to customize everything, the size of disc. The name that goes on the disc. If you want a birthstone. Tons of different options to choose from.

Oh, and I absolutely love the teeny tiny tag on the end of the bracelet that says “HOT MAMA”. So cute! I am in love with the bracelet.

I know it can be hard to shop for women. In general women are the hardest people to shop for. Why not give them a personalized bracelet, or necklace?  Any mother, or grandmother would love personalized jewelry with their babies on it.
