WordLock Bike Locks

Leave a comment

I have 2 school age children who enjoy riding their bikes to school whenever the weather allows for it.
When doing so, they have to lock their bikes up on school grounds upon arrival.
And we have been through A LOT of bike locks.
We tried simple number combination locks.
And the combination was forgotten.
We tried simple lock and key locks.
And the key was lost.
I have had to drive up to school and cut the bike locks after having lost the combination or key.
It has NOT been fun.
This year, I was introduced to WordLock bike locks.

WordLock bike locks allow you to set the combination to an easy for your child to remember 4 letter word.
They are easy to setup, easy to change the word and easy to remember!
Wordlock bike locks have four letter dials and cable made from curled, heavy-duty braided steel that extends to reach around the bike rack at the store, school, park or downtown.
My kids are loving these locks and have been very good at remembering their combinations.

Wholesale Costume Club

Leave a comment

My little Alexander is a HUGE HUGE ( I cannot stress that enough) Toy Story fan. He’s an even bigger Buzz Lightyear fan.
And when I say this kid likes Buzz Lightyear, I am not joking.
We watch Toy Story 3 at least once a day, if not more….especially if it’s the middle of the night and he can’t sleep and comes and wakes mommy from a dead sleep.
Yes, even then we watch the movie.
He has multiple Buzz toys, shoes, clothes, etc.
But I think I made his day when I placed an order with Wholesale Costume Club for this:

Yes. The Buzz Lightyear Deluxe Toddler Costume.

My little guy was MORE than excited and I was impressed with how well the costume is made. It has survived almost 2 months of use by my rambunctious toddler and it still looks like new!

See….he’s just a little happy!

Since getting this toddler costume from WholesaleCostumeClub.com we have be checking out the other Toy Story Costumes.

I’m thinking we might have found a good theme for this Halloween since Wholesale Costume Club has Toy Story Costumes for the whole family!!!

Repechage One Minute Clarifying Mask

Leave a comment

Is your skin in need of a pick me up this Spring??
I recently had the chance to try Repechage’s One Minute Clarifying Mask with hydra refine and am very pleased with the results.

This mask is the first I have tried in a very long time that did not leave my skin dry or irritated. Most masks I try leave my face a little itchy afterwards, but not this time around.

Another great thing about Repechage is that it made my face less oily so I don’t look like I am sweating my butt off anymore!

I have also noticed that since I began using Repechage I have not been as prone to acne as I was prior to using.

I have been using the Repechage for 2 weeks now and I have really noticed the difference and have been pleased with the results. Repechage is professional skin care at a cost I can afford!

Repechage’s One Minute Clarifying Mask contains the following ingredients to help revitalize your skin:

Laminaria Saccharina Seaweed—This unique seaweed helps reduce sebum production and fights the oil oxidation that contributes to the formation of blackheads. At the same time, it hydrates the skin never leaving you dry or irritated.
Lemongrass—With antiseptic and astringent properties, lemongrass is ideal for treating oily skin, and is a known anti-bacterial and anti-fungal agent.

Farnesol (Lily of the Valley)—This natural ingredient supplies the skin with protection against acne causing bacteria.
Cucumber—Cucumber is widely known as a soothing, cooling and healing agent, but the essential oil of cucumber has even greater benefits. With vital fatty acids and anti-oxidants, such as Vitamin E and Zinc, cucumber oil protects the skin and aids in healing. Proteolytic enzymes refine the skin and help keep pores clean and clear.

My Royal Wedding Recap

Leave a comment

So, I along with millions of others around the world, stayed up for many, many hours Thursday night and into Friday morning to watch the big royal wedding of Kate Middleton and Prince William.

I began prepping by taking a nap with Alexander earlier in the day, eating an energizing meal (aka awesome cheeseburgers made by the @HardworkinHubby) and a 4 pack of SBUX Frappuccino’s (which I then regretted drinking for the next 12 hours as I ran to the bathroom to pee every 5 damn minutes!).

I curled up on the love seat in our living room and thanks to an invitation from the beautiful @BarefootFoodie, I joined in their #WAKSlumberParty (you know, William And Kate Slumber Party) on Twitter and tweeted away about all things Kate, William, Diana, Charles…..basically all things royal.

I even made some new friends.

And then the guests began to arrive.
And there were hats….
Lots and lots and lots of hats.
Big Hats.
Small Hats.
Red Hats.
Yellow Hats.
Even…..vagina hats!

Yes. Vagina hats.

Princess Eugenie of York also donned a vagina hat, however hers was in dire need of a trim!
Princess Beatrice of York looked like she was straight off the train from Whoville with her crazy head piece.

Then there was Posh and Becks, who of course always look amazing.
I was a little worried though that Posh would poke someone’s eye out with her hat but I haven’t read about any such tragedies.

Of course, Queen Elizabeth II….looked stunning as usual!

Moving on to the Bride and Groom.
William was as handsome as ever but Kate…..Kate was breathtaking.

The wedding was beautiful.
Every part of it.
Even Charles and his royal combover and ginormous ears.

The kiss….was perfect!

 

Overall, I felt that is was definitely worth losing sleep. I enjoyed every minute of the whole thing, loved chatting about it with others on Twitter, and LOVED, LOVED, LOVED having Piers Morgan and the commentator on CNN. He was great and wasn’t afraid to dish out the details on certain members of the Royal Family.

The only thing missing from the whole celebration……

She would have loved it and her hat would have been fabulous!
