Scentsy Review

       Have you ever walked into someone's house and smelled something foul that they were oblivious to? Kitchen odors, cigarette smoke, or animal odors? When you are in your own home you rarely smell these odors because you are continuously in them. This is the case for me with air fresheners too. We will buy a plug in or automatic spray and after about 4 days we don't even notice it. I knew I needed something new.
     
       A good friend of mine is an independent Scentsy consultant. Her name is Michelle Benders and you can check out her page HERE. She told me about Scentsy and offered to give me a warmer and some scent bars to try out. I love candles but when it comes to small children I get worried. They sit and collect dust so this was a nice alternative. I picked this beautiful Red plug in warmer that I could plug into the outlet in my kitchen above my counter safe from little fingers. The best part is that I don't have to mess with it very much, I can set it up and leave it and the scent lasts for days!

       Along with the warmer she generously added 4 different scents! They were: Blueberry Cheesecake, Cranberry Spice, Hazelnut Latte , and Mochadoodle. They all smell awesome! I wanted to eat the mochadoodle and blueberry cheesecake! I couldn't wait to try them out! There is no water or tea lights needed (in contrast to an oil burner). What's great is the bars of wax last a long time, you break one of the pre-formed cubes off and place it in the top of the warmer and plug it in. Within 5 minutes my whole 1st floor smelled heavenly! 
       We were like little kids and changed it every couple hours the first day, just so we could try all of the scents. Everyone noticed a difference when they came in my house. I got "what are you baking", "wow what smells so good?", and "Oh my God! I want one" from friends and neighbors. My house is high traffic, friends coming by, family, and I have at least 1 or 2 neighbors and their kids here daily.

       I definitely recommend getting one of these! Right now they have some wonderful scents for spring and summer HERE I have my eye on cherry limeade! Help I am addicted!

ScareMeNots Review and Giveaway

Do you're kids have night time fears? I know both of mine are normally up and down at least 3 times. Sometimes the smallest thing can send them running into my room. I was offered a ScareMeNot for them to try out. I love the website because it is laid out with back stories for each character they have. They are available in in full size ($24.99) and travel sized ($14.99) versions. Paige and I went through them all and she picked a full sized Protector Patty. 

How many eyes does it take to catch a monster? Protector Patty
has TEN!!! When she’s not bouncing on  bedtime scaries, Patty keeps
an eye out for trouble while making sure her friends don’t cause any.
She really likes to scare monsters when they least expect it.

We are down to 1 wake up a night so I think that speaks for itself! Love them! I want to get a second 1 because the girls are in bunk beds and they claim that Patty can't do both bunks!

Prefense hand sanitizer Review and Giveaway

   Hand sanitizer is one of those things that we can't go without in my house. My kids have been sick since birth it seems. When anyone with germs come near them they are sick the next day. Piper is a minor germiphobe she at one point had a rule that everyone coming into the house had to use hand sanitizer (even if I just ran to the mail box) I had to explain to her that too much can be bad too. I was sent a small bottle of Prefense hand sanitizer a couple weeks ago and she has been using it every morning religiously. (I will admit that I forget to use it but she sure doesn't)  1 pump of the foaming sanitizer protects you for 24 hours or through 10 hand washings, and it smells nice too! I would say that this has passed the test big time! In a small townhouse if 1 person is sick that means everyone is. I have watched my friends kids and they both had a cold. Paige caught it, then I caught it and now Hubby. Piper, the one who has been using the prefense and steering clear of all of us has remained healthy and that is with the germs floating around 2 weeks! I definitely recommended this product!
   
 •    No alcohol! Prefense is made of all-natural ingredients and has absolutely NO alcohol in it!
    •    protects you for 24 hours or 10 hand washings!  This is what moms really love to hear about!
    •    Prefense is non-toxic and safe for kids! It will not hurt you if swallowed!
    •    Prefense is silica based which means it doesn’t dry out your hands like traditional alcohol sanitizers.  It actually smooths and softens your hands.
    •    Prefense protects against staph, strep, E.coli, drug resistant MRSA strains, and more
