Aerobie Sprint Flying Ring review and #giveaway 5/30–CLOSED

RANDOM.ORG DREW NUMBER 26-RAVEN IN A BLUE ROOM.  WINNER HAS BEEN EMAILED AND HAS 48 HRS TO REPLY TO WINNING EMAIL NOTIFICATION.

THANKS EVERYONE FOR ENTERING!

The end of the school year is in sight. The kids are anticipating warm weather and summer vacation. Do you have to encourage your kids to stay active during the summer? Or after a month of vacation do you start hearing “mom I’m bored, there’s nothing to do!”

Aerobie offers outdoor toys that help your kids stay active and get outside. One of several products Aerobie offers is the Aerobie Sprint Flying Ring. The Sprint Flying Ring is comparable to a frisbee in that you it’s a catch and throw activity. After that, it’s far superior to a traditional plastic frisbee.

The Aerobie Sprint Flying Rings are different from a traditional plastic frisbee in a lot of ways.  You’ll notice the ring shape first of all.  These Flying Rings are light weight, easy to catch and throw because of the design, and made of a durable soft rubber material.  It’s patented design makes it fly twice as far a  traditional frisbee.  Made in the USA.

My 7 yr old and I went out to try out the Sprint Flying Ring.  He threw it and it went so far it landed on the roof.  I took him down to a field near our house and we spent at least 45 minutes throwing and catching.  The design made it easy for both my 7 yr old and myself to throw and catch it.  I know with a regular plastic frisbee you were sometimes stubbing your finger trying to catch it, especially if someone really gave it a hard throw.  These are soft and don’t hurt your hand (or any other major body part) it might hit.  It’s a smaller 10 inch design that makes it easy to take with you on a picnic, vacation, camping, or whatever.  At only $7 a piece it won’t break the bank either.

Aerobie Sprint Discs are sold in the US and Internationally.  For a list of stores near your that sell Aerobie products you can check the “” Category on their website.  Just click on the hyperlinked USA or International link.

Spongeables Body Wash in a Sponge review and giveaway 5/22–CLOSED

RANDOM.ORG DREW NUMBERS 81 ANNIE1 AND 28 HUMANECATS AS THE WINNERS.  WINNERS HAVE BEEN EMAILED AND HAVE 48 HRS TO RESPOND TO WINNING EMAIL NOTIFICATION.  THANKS FOR ENTERING!

Spongeable Body Wash in a Sponge is a convenient product that will most certainly be a great product for upcoming vacations and camping trips.

There is a 3.5 oz version good for 20+ uses and a travel size version good for 5+ uses. Each Spongeables has a spongy side for cleaning while the other side works like a loofah to exfoliate your skin. The body wash is already in the sponge.  Just wet and squeeze then wash your body with the all in one product.

I received the Spongeable Body Wash in a Sponge in Lavender Nectar scent.  The scent was mild and not over-powering.  I’ve already used mine for 8 showers and it’s still going strong.  The only less than positive things I would have to say is that I found the exfoliating side a bit too abrasive for my sensitive skin.  The sponge and cleanser work great however.  I also received the travel size which will be very convenient for our upcoming summer vacation.  Small and portable.    The 3.5 oz version is a generous size sponge making it easy to handle and wash the larger parts of your body.

A good point brought up on their website.  These are great for airport security.  No bottle, no liquids.  Stick a travel Spongeable in your grooming case and your good to go.

Spongeables offers many different shapes, scents, and even gift packages.  There are cute designs for kids, romantic sets, Spongeables for holidays, and lots more.  There are even ones specific for your hands.  Check out all Spongeables has to offer on their website: http://www.spongeables.com/web/shop/index.php

You can also find Spongeables on Facebook

Make your feet happy with Happy Feet massaging insoles review and giveaway–CLOSED

 RANDOM.ORG DREW NUMBER 137 KIMBERLY.  WINNER HAS BEEN EMAILED AND HAS 48 HRS TO REPLY TO WINNING EMAIL NOTIFICATION.  THANKS FOR ENTERING.

I’ll be honest, I’ve never tried any type of massaging insoles in my life. In fact, I’ve never used any insoles other than what was already in the shoes I bought. I have very sensitive feet.

Funny story: When I got my first pedicure (and only 1 of 2 pedicures in my life) I could barely stand for the nail technician to touch my feet.  When he starting using the pumice stone on the sides of my feet I almost kicked him in the head.  Not on purpose, but a reaction.  The technician looked at me and said “careful”.

So what’s the point of my story.  My feet are so sensitive I didn’t think I could stand a massaging insole.  I had the opportunity to try Happy Feet Massaging insoles.  Happy Feet Massaging Insoles are 100% glycerin filled.  They have a 1yr unconditional warranty.

When I first pulled them out of the packet they looked like a normal flat insole.  I thought “how are these massaging insoles?”   I put them into my shoes.  The insoles can be trimmed to fit several sizes.  I found them easy to trim to the right size for me.  I put my feet in and tied my shoes.  I walked around my house at first.  Then I noticed the sort of rolling under my feet.  It wasn’t ticklish or annoying like I was worried it might be with my super sensitive feet.  This actually felt….good.  But the real test would be to wear them to work.

I work in a hospital as an Occupational Therapy Assistant.  I’m all my feet all day doing manual labor.  Walking with patients, helping to transfer patients, etc.  I found my self rocking back and forth on my feet just to increase the really cool feeling of the rolling massage feeling when I was standing still.  It’s not necessary to do that.  It does it automatically when you walk.

Happy Feet’s website states that the insoles can help with a variety of health issues such as: increasing circulation, relieves corns and caluses, heel pain and spurs, back and knee pain, and a number of other health issues that may cause discomfort.

You can also follow Happy Feet on twitter and facebook.  
 Also a great point to mention is that Happy Feet Insoles are manufactured right here in the US.

AVEENO’s Positively Ageless starter kit is part of their Active Naturals products.  Each Positively Ageless product contains natural Shiitake complex which is a natural anti-oxidant. Anti-oxidants help your skins defense again free radicals that damage skin.

In a clinical study performed 100% women who used the kit as directed showed improvement in their skin.  Some in as little as one week.  I thought that sounded pretty motivating.

–Positively Ageless moisturizer with SPF 30
–Positively Ageless lifting and firming moisturizing night cream

AVEENO® BABY Eczema Therapy Moisturizing Cream and AVEENO® BABY Cleansing Therapy Moisturizing Wash were developed with a leading dermatologist.  They also the National Eczema Association seal of acceptance.  Did you know that 10-20% off all infants experience some type of Eczema?  My youngest does. At times his skin would feel so rough and regular baby lotion just didn’t seem to do much for him.

In a clinical study, 90% of babies showed improvement in multiple areas of eczema such as roughness, dryness, itching, and scaling.

AVEENO has a lot of good products that would be fun to mix for a gift basket for mom too.  Go with a summer themed gift basket and use AVEENO hydrosport sunblock line as well as the Positively Ageless line and include some neat summer items like sunglasses, lip balm with SPF, and a cute summer shirt.  Woudn’t that make a fun basket?
