Holiday Outfit Accessories and Stocking Stuffers, Haircoverings.com

**I received several products from haircoverings.com for the purpose of writing a review and hosting this sponsored giveaway.  No other compensation has been received**

I’ve been browsing sales for holiday dresses for my baby girl.  I’ve also been considering how cold it’s been here in PA.  Making sure I have warm winter accessories for everyone at a price I can afford.  Haircoverings.com has a huge selections of headbands, hats, gloves, scarves, clips, and so much more.  As the name suggests, they have all kinds of hair coverings, but that’s not all.

My baby girl is 8 months old, she’ll be 9 months by Christmas.  So many cutest dresses out there for the holidays.  Having a girl for the first time I want to add soft headbands to pretty much all her outfits.  I think these two look like a festive holiday accessories, don’t you?   They even have baby santa hats.  So cute!

When the weather gets cold this time of year my boys (the 3 of them) usually end up saying, “I can’t find my gloves” or “I can only find one glove”  We have a bench to put all that stuff in but do they?  Nope.  Well they have the stretchy gloves on haircoverings.com they call them magic gloves.  These are an affordable alternative for them to wear to school or for a trip to the store.  I got a different color for each of them to match their winter coats.  I asked them to pose with them so you could see the different colors.  This first pose was my idea.

It works, I mean you can see the colors and what the gloves look like.  Then they insisted on their own pose.  This is what we got with that, BOYS!:

They have lots of colors in these gloves as well as other types and styles of gloves.  They have all kinds of hair accessories too from clips to bandanas to snoods.  Their prices are really budget friendly but they also gave  me a coupon code to share with you.  Use coupon code: blogdec31 to save 20% off your order.

Get a Bright Smile for New Year’s with Smile Brilliant


I’m a coffee drinker and I do like my occasional Coca-cola.  Unfortunately those to things contribute to a less the white smile for me.  I’ve tried white strips, whitening toothpastes and mouth washes, and a couple other things.  They all work fine.  I had heard about using LED lighting though to accelerate the whitening process and had always wanted to try it.

Smile Brilliant offers just that in an easy to use home whitening kit with an LED light device.

Blog 003

 

The kit comes with a tube of whitening gel with an attached brush to paint the whitening gel on.  It comes with a rubber mouth guard to put over your teetch and the LED light device, and an instruction sheet.

One thing I wanted to point out is that when you first open your kit it tells you about opening up your LED light device to remove a disc in order for it to work.  Initially I wasn’t sure what they were talking about but I took the batteries out and it was underneath all the batteries. It was kind of hard to see at first but one you remove this and put the batteries back, you’re good to go.

Blog 004

 

It was easy to use the pen to brush the whitening gel onto my teeth.  You have the option to use the LED light for 20-45 minutes.  I was able to hold it in my mouth as I did other things.  Admittedly, it looked kind of silly but if it works..

 

I used it for the minimum 20 minutes each time.  It says you can continue to leave the whitening gel on with the mouth guard for additional time without the LED light if you prefer.  I started to see subtle results after the first use.  By the second use I definitely noticed a white smile.

Store Your Holiday Leftovers with Ozeri

**I received the below mentioned product in order to complete an honest review. This post also includes Amazon affiliate links. No other compensation has been received**

I’ve reviewed several products from Ozeri already and I’ve been pretty happy with them.  I had the opportunity to try the Ozeri Instavac Green Earth food storage container set.

ozeri green earth food storage

 

This set has a vacuum seal which helps keep food fresh longer, saving you money in the long run.  This 8 piece set is BPA free.  It includes 8 pieces (4 lids, 4 containers) in nesting sizes.  Easy to store.

I was in need of some good food storage containers.  I had a few tupperware pieces I had got at a good deal.  I also received a few pieces at my first wedding shower.  They do last but when I went to get more I was appalled at how much they cost. Ozeri INSTAVAC Green Earth Food Storage Container Set, BPA-Fee 8-Piece Nesting Set with Vacuum Seal and Locking Lids. is available on Amazon right now for only $24.95.

They are easy to use. Put your left overs in the container, place the lid on top and lock the sides down, then push down on the center of the lids to get the vacuum seal.  Another convenient feature of this set is the little dial on the vacuum seal release.  It’s number 1-31 so you can set the date you first store food so you know exactly how long you’ve had your food in the fridge.

When you want to open the container just lift the release valve to let the air out of the container.  I like that they are transparent also so you can see right away what is in your container.  No guessing or anxiety about opening the container. They patented valve system is also designed to release when pressure builds up when used in the microwave.

These containers will sure come in handy for Thanksgiving and Christmas left overs.  Of course I’ll use it for other meals’ left over too but we always have a lots of leftovers for the holidays.  Ozeri also has a hassle-free warranty and customer service.

Carmex Moisture Plus Limited Edition Collection

Holiday guide 2013 button

Winter time is a time for me to add to my daily routine.  By this time it is now a daily routine to apply lotion and lip balm lest I want my skin to drive me crazy and be self conscious about my dry lips.  Using Carmex products has a certain nostalgia for me.  My grandmother used to use it and I don’t know what it is, but I love the smell of it.  Just because it’s been around since 1937,  doesn’t mean it has to look like it.

This year Carmex is offering the Carmex Moisture Plus sticks in 4 graphically-printed lip balms, each with it’s own personality.

carmex limited edition

 

These slim designer sticks can easily fit into a purse, pocket, or backpack.  So which of these fit your personality?  If you’re not sure you can take the quiz at: http://mycarmex.com/uniquelyyou/  I did, it said my style is: Chic  I was kinda leaning towards that anyway and actually you can see that’s the one I opened to try right away in the pictures.  I love the classics. I love the style of people like the Duchess Kate and Victoria Beckham, modest beauty.    The other designs are really cool though.  Your personality might be Fab, Whimsical, Adventurous, or Chic.

If I were to create my own personality sticks I’d love to see a Rock Princess personality maybe black with cute little skulls with a pink bow on it.  Or maybe Glam with some rhinestones on it.  I’d love those too.  I’m classic most the time but when I want to step it up a notch I go to one of those fashion personalities.

These sticks are perfect for moisturizing but they also have spf 15 to protect your lips as well.  These sleek and stylish tubes would fit nicely into a Christmas stocking or gift basket.
