Product Review: IHome Portable Speakers-Sound Beyond Size!

2009-01-15T19:40:00.000-08:00

A few weeks ago I was sent these awesome little speakers from I Home Audio to review. I'm not kidding you when I tell you that I needed some really loud speakers! My kids and husband can get pretty loud not to mention the pupster. So, usually you can find me in the office with the computer sound all the way up and still I am yelling "Pleassseeeee, be quite!"

You can see the video that I made trying to capture the sound quality--I actually just realized that it was only ONE speaker turned on! So, even more so-WOW!

Some of the convenient features of these lil mega speakers are:

-Plays all iPod/iPhone models and other audio devices with 3.5 mm audio jack
-Perfect for enhancing the movie/music experience on laptops
-Custom tuned vacuum bass design for low frequency response and sound beyond size
-Each speaker contains built-in amplifier powered by rechargeable battery
-2 collapsible speakers attach magnetically for ultimate portability
-Long lasting built-in li-ion rechargeable batteries
-Supplied cable for charging speakers and audio output
-Rubberized paint texture for amazing look and soft feel
-Convenient protective carry case and cord wrap included

My favorite thing about them is that they are portable and usually when you hear portable you think hassle...because there are always these bulky carrying cases for everything! Well, this set comes with a built in feature of being able to be collapsed! Not only that, the cord wraps up onto a rubber like stick. It all fits nicely into the black drawstring bag included!

So, what is the price for something so small, chic and convenient? $49.99 Now, isn't a deal on this must-have for a music lovin' poshpreneur! You can even get them in red or silver.

Zwinky Cuties: Shop, Explore & more!

2008-10-12T22:05:00.001-07:00

Mikayla & I were invited to a fab event for the launch of Zwinky Cuties a few weeks ago and unfortunately we couldn't make it to the city (NY) for the event but they were so kind and emailed to follow up! A few days later she received a "swag bag" from them!

Mikayla loves Jordan Pruitt and was so devestated that she didn't get to see her but when she got this bag in the mail with a picture of Jordan and her latest cd...all was healed! :) They also sent her the cute tee she is wearing in the pic which she proudly wore to school and they sent a cute flash drive that closes up into a braclet!

So, what is Zwinky Cuties?
Zwinky Cuties is a virtual world developed especially for ages 6 and up. It's free to join! You can upgrade and pay a monthly fee and your daughter can access other features of the site!

Mikayla was a barbie.com girl until she logged into Zwinky Cuties where she can choose outfits for the Zwinky Cuties character, chat with other girls her age in a safe chat, and "walk around" the cute little cyber world!

You are probably thinking...is Zwinky Cuties a safe site for my child?
Here is what they have to say about the safety:
Yes, Zwinky Cuties is safe. We have a feature called "safe chat" so that your child can only use pre-determined phrases to interact with other players. This way, no one can solicit your child's real name, age, address, or other personal information.

Go check it out for yourself! Very easy to use, very girly and perfect for your growing child who wants to be online and safe!

LAF Brand because we all have a "Little Angel Face"

Are you tired of carrying around a million different things in your diaper bag and and still feeling unorganized? Or are you on the other side of the spectrum...organized but not living with style?? Do not compromise your poshness just because you are a mommy!! I have a great company that gives you both so no compromise is necessary!!

LAF Brand is a company that knows are all being posh!I had the opportunity to review the Roll-n-Go Diaper Caddy and let me just say if you do not have one...GO.NOW. and GET ONE.

As a person who is never always organized this is a must-have for any mommy! I highly recommend this for the WOW factor at a baby shower. You can keep a diapers, wipers, bottles, ointment, a bib, ANYTHING you might need in this caddy!Another great product that I have is the LAF Brand Bib and Burp Set. I usually have something critical to say about any bib. I can not say anything bad about this bib. It is not too hard, too noisy, or too cheap. It is soft and made with high quality fabric.

Have you heard of their Attachable Clothing? It brings you from a light long sleeve to short sleeve in a quick detachable sleeve. Great idea, right? I LOVE their new addition the Attachable Colllection the Rocks Attachable. They have cute shirt saying such as,"Rock hard, LAF harder."

So, please visit the LAF Brand site and come back and tell us what is your favorite product.

Belli Acne Clearing Face Wash Updated Review

2008-10-03T06:18:00.000-07:00

About a month ago I started using Belli Skincare's Acne Clearing Face Wash and I was telling you how it has started to clear my face already and I would post pictures...well, here they are.

This is the BEFORE
you can see the acne on my cheeks a bit and my chin was pretty bad--this is me with no makeup and no straightener {lol}

AFTER
this is me with lil makeup {Bare Escentuals bronzer}

I would have to say--YES, this was a success! ;)I have long raved about Belli's Elasticity Oil and now, this is yet another awesome product from Dr. Rubin that I can tell everyone about and how much I love it and believe in it!

Belli Cosmetics Acne Clearing Facial Wash

2008-08-09T16:14:00.000-07:00

Let's start with the fact that I am NOT preggers! lol I just wanted to clear that up first and foremost for my family & friends! :)

I received a fabulous box full of Belli Cosmetics products for review by the panel & I. When I saw the Acne Wash, I knew that was all mine! I have always had wonderfully clear skin until lately, I blame it in the move to New York from California...maybe the water is better in Cali? Anyway, whatever the reason, my skin has broken out like I am going through puberty again! Eww...

I have used everything...Oxy, Noxema, Apricot Svrub, even pharmecutecal grade cleansers and have seen little to no change in my skin's appearance. (*I do have to say that the pharmecutical stuff was great at first, but then didn't keep up)

I started using Belli's Acne claering face wash everyday about 2 weeks ago. I noticed that on the bottle it said that you can leave it on for a few minutes to use as a mask. Well, that is what I have done for 2 weeks and WOW, my sin has cleared up dramatically! I am going to keep using this wash, tomorrow I am going to take a few pics of my face, and I will keep you all updated with the progress via photos and writing! OH and it smells fantastic! The Green Tea stands out to me and it is wonderful!

The best thing about using this face wash is that Belli is so careful with the ingredients they use since this is a "pregnancy" used product but as a non- pregger, it makes me feel confident that this will not be too harsh! :)

Stay posted for more updates...

Here is some info from Belli about their face wash!

Acne Clearing Facial Wash is an exfoliating wash; rich in powerful acne-ridding ingredients that leaves skin clear and refined, without over-drying. The safest acne solution for pregnancy, Belli Acne Clearing Facial Wash uses lactic acid to lift away dirt, oil and bacteria, promoting clean and blemish-free skin. Most acne treatments are contra-indicated during pregnancy because of adverse effects to baby. Belli’s breakthrough formulation is the first to safely address pregnancy-related acne using lactic acid – an ingredient that is naturally found in the body.

Directions: This versatile treatment can be used as a daily facial cleanser or can be left on the face for 5 minutes for an intensive acne facial mask.

Active Ingredients: Lactic Acid 7%
