Oral-B Professional Precision 5000 Electric Toothbrush

I have always been a person who really cared about oral healthcare. I go to the dentist every six months, floss and brush twice a day and use mouthwash countless times a day. I have always used a regular manual toothbrush never having really thought about switching to an electric toothbrush. Both of my son's use an electric toothbrush so I am not really sure why I haven't switched. The time has officially come however, I have switched to an electric toothbrush. I was given the opportunity to test the Oral-B Professional Precision 5000 electric toothbrush and I am hooked. I have been using it for three weeks now and will not be going back to my old toothbrush.

I mentioned above that I am pretty good with oral healthcare but I can't say I do everything right. One thing my dentist is always scolding me for is brushing my teeth too hard. I always felt like the harder I brushed the cleaner my teeth were getting. This turned out to not be true. This is one reason I love this new electriv toothbrush from Oral-B. There is actually an icon that pops up if you are brushing too hard. I also love the ico that shows you what area of your mouth to brush. It is called the quadrant circle and flashes to show you where you should be brushing. As you brush each of your mouth's quadrants you get a star, ending with four stars. This feature was very fun for me. It almost felt like I was playing a game.
There are so many amazing features of this toothbursh. Here are just a few that I loved:

* 5 customized brushing modes: Daily Clean, Deep Clean, Sensitive, Whitening and Massage
* A built in timer to reach the dentist recommended 2 minutes of brushing
* Rechargable
* Wireless Smart Guide helps to maximize your brushing routine
* Indicator bristles remind you to replace the toothbrush head every three months

This Oral-B toothbursh provides a better clean with up to 40,000 pulsations 8,800 oscilliations per minute, which is up to 50% more brush movements vs, the other leading electric toothbrushes.

I really love this toothbrush. I just can not believe that a toothbrush can be as smart as this one. I always thought I had a great brushing routine but after using this toothbrush for three weeks I have seen an improvement in my brushing routine as well as in the look and cleanliness of my teeth.

Disclosure: “I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Modern Mom on behalf of Oral-B and received a product sample to facilitate my review.”

Pinypon Party Review

I am so excited to introduce you to a fabulous new toy for girls. Pinypon is a colorful collection of interchangable dolls and accessories.
I was thrilled when I was picked to host a MommyParties sponsored by Pinypon. When the party pack arrived my children couldn't get enough of the Pinypon toys. Even my son was excited when he saw they had sent a boy Pinypon doll.

My party pack included: 12 Pinypon figures
                         2 Pinypon caravans
                         2 Nenuco Newborn Dolls
                         Coupons and party ideas and games

For all of you who haven't heard of Pinypon just picture a mini-dolls world filled with dolls who love fashion, accessories and the newest hairstyles. Shopping is one of their favorite things to doand they love traveling too. Along with their pets, they travel the world in their caravan. Pinypon is a colorful collection of interchangeable friends. You can mix and match everything - dresses, accessories, hairstyles, bodies, and even faces. All the kids at the party had a great time switching and trading accessories and hairstyles!
The caravan was super cute. It opens up to a little house. Inside there is a kitchen and a little bath which you can actually use water with. The caravan also came with a ton of accessories that you can use when you play with it.
 

Pinypon is appropriate for girls aged 4-7. The girls (and even boys) at my party loved everything about Pinypon. I really think you would love them too! To find out more about Pinypon you can go to:

Chris Mann Roads Review

When I was picked to do the album review I wasn't too sure who Chris Mann was or even what his music was like. I knew he had been on The Voice and I remember enjoying his singing on the show but was not sure what his new album "Roads" would be like. The first time I put the CD on my husband and four year old were in the room. After listening to a few songs my husband commented how the music reminded him of Josh Groban and how much he was enjoying it. To me this meant Chris Mann is really pretty good. My husband never comments on music unless to complain about it. My favorite was my four year old though. He loved this CD. He must have played and replayed the song Roads about ten times. By the fifth time he was singing the song and dancing around the room. I really enjoyed the music as well and it has since become a staple in the car when I drive my children to school every morning.

Roads has many different kinds of songs, ranging from Willie Nelson’s “Always on My Mind” and Lady Antebellum’s “Need You Now” to Damien Rice’s “The Blowers’ Daughter.” This song was sung with Christina Aguiilera and is beautiful. Mann co-wrote two songs, “Cuore,” and the contemporary ballad “Falling.”
Chris Mann's new album Roads can be purchased through ITunes http://bit.ly/SgkwJb or on Amazon http://amzn.to/XQpJc8


Disclosure: This is a review post from One2One Network. I was provided with a copy of the album and I am eligible for a prize drawing. All opinions stated are my own.

Get UNREAL

I will be the first to admit that I love candy but I know how bad it is for me. I was so excited when I first heard about UNREAL candy and The UNREAL Mission. The belief of the UNREAL Mission is that all junk food can be made differently. It can be made with better ingredients, without the junk, with great taste, and at the same price. Basically they want to "Unjunk the world." You are probably wondering how did UNREAL make candy unjunked. They replaced all of the junk with good stuff. They use: double the cacao More peanuts real milk cane sugar and organic palm fruits There are also no artificial preservatives, no hydrogenated oils/fats and my favorite no artificial colors or flavors. I was given the opportunity to host a party to tell people about The UNREAL Mission. I was excited to do this and even more excited that the weekend fell on my Dad's birthday. Everyone who came was excited to learn about UNREAL and many even said that they had seen this candy in stores but had no idea what it was. During the party I explained to everyone about the UNREAL Mission and all of the ways this candy had been Unjunked. Then I let my guests try the candy. It sure was a hit! I can say by far the favorite was th UNREAL 77. These are basically a peanut butter cup candy and were delicious. The peanut butter was so smooth and creamy, it just melted in our mouths. There were several kids at the party and they loved the UNREAL 41. These are candy coated chocolate pieces that remind me of M&M's. When I first opened them I was unsure what the kids would think. Since there are no artificial colors used the color of the candy is not as bright as one may be used to. To my surprise not one child mentioned the color. They went right to devouring them and loved them. I also enjoyed these candies and was amazed at how smooth the chocolate was.
UNREAL candies have 30% less sugar, 60% more fiber and 250% more protein per serving than the other leading competing brands.
UNREAL candies can be found in many stores including CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, BJs, Staples, Krogers and many others. I recently heard Target will be carrying UNREAL soon. I love that this candy is better for you but costs the same as any other leading brand of candy.
All of my guests got to bring home a goody bag of UNREAL candy!

Gutzy Gear Party

Gutzy Gear is the newest craze in back to school fashion. It is an awesome way for children to express themselves by customizing their backpacks, messenger bag and more with cool removable patches. All they have to do is pick out the Gutzies they like and attach them to their Gutzy strap. There are about 56 Gutzies you can pick from to customize your bag. You can even trade them with your friends!
I had the opportunity to host a Gutzy Gear party thanks to Gutzy Gear and Mommy Parties. I was sent 15 Gutzy starter sets which included 2 straps and 1 Gutzy. I also got 16 Gutzy patch sets and each one has two Gutzies. My son was so excited about them he immediately wanted to put the strap on his new Spiderman backpack. I was amazed at how easy it was to do. The Gutzy straps wrap around the backpack straps and velcro shut. Each Gutzy patch also easily attaches with velcro.
Gutzy Gear is a new trend that I see being around for a very long time. All the kids at the party loved them and were excited to go get more patches. Everywhere my son goes with his backpack someone is asking about the patches. Just this morning a new teacher at his preschool asked what they were. I told her all about Gutzy Gear and she said she was going to buy it for her niece. Gutzy Gear can be purchased at Target, Toy R us, KMart, Walmart and a few other stores. You can also go to www.gutzygear.com to buy them and see all of the awesome designs that are available.

My First Crayola

We love Crayola products in my house. My four year old is constantly coloring, painting and making projects. My 18 month old really likes to join in the fun but inevitably he makes a mess. The crayons are too skinny and hard to hold or her writes on the wall or table with marker. Well when I was contacted by My Blog Spark to do a review for My First Crayola I was thrilled. Finally Crayola products made for younger children. When my Crayola package came I was amazed at how many products there were. All of the products were My First Crayola products and are designed for children as young as 12 months.

My gift pack contained:




  • My First CrayolaTM Washable Crayons
  • My First CrayolaTM Washable Markers
  • My First CrayolaTM Washable Stampers
  • My First CrayolaTM Washable Dry-Erase Activity Mat
  • My First CrayolaTM Washable Triangular Dry-Erase Crayons
  • My First CrayolaTM Washable Musical Rub-Art Station
  • My First CrayolaTM Mess-Free Markers & Paper
  • My First CrayolaTM Mess-Free Finger Painting
  • One specially marked box of original Cheerios® cereal

  • The first thing my son decided to try were the Washable crayons, stampers, and markers.


    I loved that these products were just the right size and shape for my toddler's hands. He did not have a problem gripping them and using them. I know he loved that they looked like animals and kept roaring like a lion the whole time he was coloring with the lion markers. During this particular art session there was no coloring on the walls but if there had been I would have been at ease since all of these products are washable.

    The next product we decided to try was the Mess Free Marker and Paper. These markers only show up on the special Crayola Mess Free paper. The markers and paints instantly show up on the paper but not on the skin, clothes or even on my table. The Mess Free Markers and Paper are recommended for 12 months and up.
    Again my son was very excited that the marker was an animal.
    The Mess Free Fingerpaint and Paper is recommended for children 24 months and up.

    Personally my favorite My First Crayola product was the Mess Free Washable Dr Erase Activity Mat.
    I brought the Dry Erase Activity Mat to a restaurant one night when we were going out to dinner. Normally my son will not sit for more than five minutes but this activity mat really held his attention. It features 12 activities that slide into place on the mat so my son could draw, erase and draw some more. I really liked the triangular crayons it came with as well. They were very easy to hold and easy to erase.


    Crayola and Cheerios are currently offering up to $5.00 in coupons on My First Crayola products. Look for My First Crayola on original Cheerios cereal boxes.

    Recalls Plus


    As a parent I am always worried about what products in my house may have been recalled. I always have a hard time finding information about recalls though. I can't even tell you how many times I have decided to look online at products that have been recalled and found some that I had in my house and were using. Most of them were products I used with my children and had been recalled weeks before I looked. That would always frustrate me. She Speaks has introduced me to a solution to this problem though. The new app Recalls Plus is amazing! Recalls Plus helps me and any parent stay ahead of the game when it comes to our children's safety. Recalls Plus helps you keep track of children's products as well as food allergen recalls. The best part is that you can make your own watch list. I loved that I could put so many children's products on my watch list. On my watch list I put highchairs, bicycles, bottles and accessories, car seats and strollers.

    The new Recalls Plus app is available on Facebook, IPhone, and Android. Recalls Plus was created by SAP—a market leader in enterprise application software, who’s vision is to help the world run better. You can find Recalls Plus on Facebook, at the App store and on Google Play.

    I am very impressed with Recalls Plus and recommend that everyone get it on their phone or check it out on Facebook. You can get to the Recalls Plus download page by following this link http://bit.ly/IbF2bB


    Thank You She Speaks and Recalls Plus for introducing me to this new app.

    MAM Smile Baby, Smile Party and Child's Play Party

    I was so excited when I got the email that I was accepted to host a MAM oral care party through Child's Play Party. This was going to be my first party and I was blown away by what was in my party pack when it came.
    The party pack contained for all of my guests MAM Baby Massaging Brush, MAM Oral Care Rabbit, and MAM Baby Learn to Brush Set. There was also oral hygiene booklets and coupons for my guests. There was also a host gift for myself filled with amazing MAM products. I couldn't believe that they had even given me prizes for the games we were going to play.
    The MAM Oral Care Rabbit is a dental cloth that makes dental hygiene very easy. All you have to do is slip your finger into one of the ears- this makes it easier to reach and clean each part of your baby's mouth. The soft microfibers clean and gently massage the gums.
    I had never thought about cleaning my children's gums. I always waited until they had teeth to clean and brush their teeth. I wish I had known about the MAM Oral Care Rabbit earlier because I would have loved to start my children's oral hygiene care even earlier than I did.
    This is the MAM Learn to Brush Set. It was developed by MAM in cooperation with dentists. It helps your child get used to the right cleaning technique from the beginning. The short extra soft bristles with rounded heads provide optimal cleaning and the  extra long handle allows your baby to brush along with you.

    This party was a lot of fun. My guests really enjoyed playing the Brush Up on Oral Care Game. We were all surprised at some of the questions and answers and learned so much. Everyone really also liked playing the Oral Care Scrambler game. The winners were very excited with their prizes as well!
    I used some baby shower gift bags I had to put together my guests goodie bags.

    I love my new toothbrush!
    Thank you Child's Play Party and MAM Oral Care for allowing me to host this party. Make sure to check out Child's Play Party at www.childsplayparty.com and MAM at www.mambaby.com

    Saline Ambassador

    I am so excited to have been chosen as a Saline Ambassador for Boogie Wipes and Saline Soothers. My family has been using Boogie Wipes for what seems like years and I love them. I can never have enough Boogie Wipes when cold and allergy seasons hit. My four year old even likes to sleep with his own package of Boogie Wipes when he has a cold. I also send them to daycare with both of my boys. Their teachers love them and even buy Boogie Wipes for the classrooms on their own. As a Saline Ambassador I am lucky enough to get a kit filled with Boogie Wipes and Saline Soothers. I will pass these out to family, friends and even strangers so people get to know the product. I have already hosted a Boogie Wipes/Saline Soothers get together with my Moms Group. Since I have been using Boogie Wipes for so long I assumed that everyone knew about this amazing product but I was so wrong. Through being a Saline Ambassador I have found out many people do not know about Booige Wipes but once they learn about them and try them they love them!

    Gillette Venus & Olay

    I can be very picky about the type of razor I use. I have very sensitive skin and constantly break out in razor burn. In the past I have really loved the Gillette Venus razor so when I heard the were making it with Olay I was so excited. Then I got my Love Vox Box from Influenster and was thrilled to find the Gillette Venus & Olay razor. This razor has Venus' five blades for a close shave plus Olay's moisture bars help lock in moisture to keep your skin from getting dry. The new Venus razor features a rounded, pivoting head designed especially for a women's curves. I think the best part is that all you have to do is wet the razor and you will have a light lather. You do not need to use any shaving cream.
    For more information go to www.gillettevenus.com

    I received this product complimentary through Influenster's Love Vox Box.

    Fresh Direct

    I am so excited to have been chosen to host a Fresh Direct houseparty. For those of you that do not know Fresh Direct is a home delivery grocery store. They have amazing fresh food that they will deliver right to your door. I was chosen to host this party through houseparty.com. Once I get my party pack I will post pictures of it as well as of my party!

    Kiss Nail Dress

    I am someone who loves to make a statement with my nails. I am known to always have a different color painted on and some of my colors can be pretty bright. I do also have an issue with nail polish at times though. The polish never lasts more than a few days and often chips hours after having them done. Kiss Nail Dress may have solved this problem though. Kiss nail dress is a sticky design to place on your fingernails or toenails. All you have to do is peel, apply and shape them to your fingers or toes. The best part for me is that they will last up to ten days. This is much better than the three days I usually get with typical nail polish. I put my camisole print Kiss Nail Dress on over a week ago and they still look fabulous. The print I received from Influenster was called Camisole and looked almost like a zebra print. I loved the print I got but I can't wait ti try some others. They come in 18 different styles. Trying the Kiss Nail Design products was a wonderful opportunity. This was a product I had not heard of but will be buying in the future!
    Nail Dress’ suggested retail price is $6.99 and is available in all major drug chains and mass retailers like WalMart, CVS and Walgreens.


    Visit KissNailDress.com to learn more!

    Influenster sent me the Kiss Nail Dress as a pat of the Love VoxBox. All opinions are my own and have not been influenced in any way.

    Influenster Love VoxBox

    I recently joined Influenster and I already got picked for my first VoxBox. This one is called the Love VoxBox and it was amazing. There were five products and I loved them all. In the box was a Gillette Venus & Olay Razor, Kiss nail dress, Stash Tea Herbal tea sampler, Ghiradelli Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion and Truvia Natural Sweetener. I will be doing individual posts for each of the products but I wanted to show everyone what was in the box. If you are not a member of Influenster go to www.influenster.com to sign up.

    February Cravebox

    The February Cravebox was called the Make-A-Date Cravebox. Now I am not really sure how all of the products in this month's box went with that theme but I didn't care because I love the products I got.
    The box started with two think Thin bars. These were perfect for me since I have been on a diet since January. Any nutrition bar is a friend of mine right now. They sent to flavors. One was a creamy peanut butter bar and the other one was a chocolate nut bar. I love peanut butter so this bar was perfect for me. The second item in the box was EBoost. This was probably my least favorite product just because I am not really one to drink these vitamin energy booster supplements. My husband loves them however and said these tasted pretty good. One of my favorite products in the box were the two Amore Pacific product. We were sent a face wash as well as a face spritzer. I love them both! Even though they are pretty expensive products I love how my skin feels after using them and may have to buy more in the future. This is a product I had never heard of and if it weren't for Cravebox I probably never would have tried it. The fourth product was the Downy Wrinkle Releaser. I love this product. I brought it to work with me and within four days it was gone. Everyone in my office was trying it and were amazed at how well it took the wrinkles out of our clothes. Last but not least was my favorite item in the box. There were six BiC Mark-it permanent markers. As a teacher little things like markers make me happy. I also brought these to school and gave one to a few fellow teachers. Everyone loves them. They are great markers and I loved the Valentine's Day colors they sent me.
    Cravebox is still in the Beta phase but I think it is here to stay. I love that for $10 a month I get a box filled with awesome full sized products. Cravebox is offered through She Speaks and would be worth your time to check it out. There is currently a wait list to be a part of Cravebox but it has been such a wonderful experience and I would say would be worth the wait.

    Old Navy Style Council


    So as many of you already know I am a member of Crowdtap. Through Crowdtap I was picked to be part of the Old Navy Style Council. This has been such an amazing group to be a part of. I have had the opportunity to try and share with friends two different pairs of activewear pants, jeans and most recently T-shirts and tanks. I have always been a fan of Old Navy clothes but I was thrilled to hear they had changed the fabric for the T-shirts and tank tops. After I heard this I was not sure what to expect but when I got to the store I was pleasantly surprised. The fabric that Old Navy had changed to was so soft. I also was excited to see that the fit seemed a little bit better. In the past many of my tanks from Old Navy had a boxy shape to them and although I really liked them they were not the most flattering. The new shirts really are a better style and feel. If you have not joined Crowdtap yet you really should so you can start sampling and sharing Old Navy clothes!

    Sweeter than Birdsong

    Sweeter than Birdsong is a new novel that combines hope and faith to create a fantastic historical fiction read. Sweeter than Birdsong is the second book in The Saddler's Legacy by Rosslyn Elliot. This is the first book I have read by Rosslyn Elliot but I was so pleased with it I am planning to go back and read Fairer than Morning, the first book in this series.

    This book really focuses around two main characters Kate Winter and Ben Hanby. Kate is a very shy yet beautiful college student. She is the first woman to graduate from Otterbein College and she has many dreams to persue. Mainly she wants to be able to escape from her family's secrets and her overbearing mother. Ben Hanby is a musical genius at Otterbein College and the director of the musical. When he hears Kate sing he is mesmerized by her voice, beauty and shyness. Ben is interested in getting to know her but know he must keep some of his secrets to himself as well. Mainly his work with The Underground Railroad no one can know about.

    In the book Ben and Kate are brought together by a terrible tragedy. This accident threatens to expose both of their secrets as well as ruin their dreams. Throughout the book they develop a relationship that grows in trust and strength from God.

    The was a beautifully written Civil War novel. In the past I have not been one who has really enjoyed Historical Fiction books. Sweeter than Birdsong ws so descriptive and well written that I actually felt like I was a part of the book. If every Historical Fiction book was as well written as this I think I would really enjoy the genre.
    I was provided a copy of this book from Book Sneeze and Thomas Nelson Publishing in exchange for my honest review.

    Dr. Oetker Pizza

    As a Bzzagent I have gotten to try some very fun products. I was so excited when I got invited to the Dr. Oetker pizza campaign. My family and I love pizza, both from a restaurant and frozen. I am always looking for new frozen pizzas to try and this one was a hit. Dr. Oetker pizza has been a favorite in Europe since 1985 and it has finally come to the USA. This pizza has a delicious crispy crust topped with very fresh ingredients for a frozen pizza. There are six flavors and my local Shop Rite actually had all six. The flavors are Mozzarella, Spinach, Funghi (mushroom), Quattro Formaggi, Vegetable, and Speciale (Pepperoni and ham). I have not tried all six yet but I did try three of them. We had the Mozzarella, Speciale and Spinach. I loved all of them as did my husband. My boys loved the spcial and mozzarella but left most of the spinach for us. If you are looking for a new fresh tasting frozen pizza Dr. Oetker would be a good one to try.
    If you are not yet a member of Bzzagent and love trying new products you should look into signing up at www.bzzagent.com

    January Cravebox

    This month's Cravebox was titled The 2012 Vitality Box. This was a great theme for me since my New Years Resolution was to finally shed some of my baby weight. This Cravebox had five products in it. The products were
    * Switch2Health S2H STEP Pedometer with points

    * Emergen-C vitamin drink mix

    * Colavita extra virgin olive oil

    * Mereadesso Face and Neck tonig gel

    * Prevention Magazine plus a one year subscription


    I was very impressed and pleased with this month's box. I love that most of the products they send are fullsize and the value of the boxes well surpass the $10 a month I pay for the box. My favorite product by far was the S2H step pedometer. This was a great product to help me with my New Year's Resolution. It is so easy to clip on and then you just go about your day. The STEP tracks all of my activity and then I easily upload it to earn points.
    There is currently a wait list to join Cravebox. If spots open up though I strongly suggest you check it out. I am having so much fun and love getting a little something for myself in the mail each month. www.cravebox.com
