Keep Your Dog Visible! Illumidog Reflective Collar Review and Giveaway

I have two Dogs.  Cruizer, our two year old black lab and Buddy, our 7 year old yellow lab.  Both are very active and enjoy spending alot of time outside.   We are quite lucky, living in the country we own alot of property and our dogs are able to run free.  I do worry about them not being seen, especially at night.  Well, since I reviewed the Illumidog reflective collar, I have worried less! 

The Illumidog Reflective Collar  is really nice!!   This helps to keep my dogs visible at night as it is a nylon  collar with a reflective tape and has a snap buckle.  Comfortable and easy to put on my dogs.  The reflective tape is exceptionally bright nikkalite , highly intensity type III material.  This is the same type of material as found on the brighter road signs and traffic cones.   I can really notice the reflective collar on my dog from quite a distant.  They like to wear this collar as it seems to be comfortable to them. 

I like that this is made in the USA and comes in different sizes to fit everyone's dog.  I got the large size which fits both of  my labs good.  One is about 85 lbs and the other one is alittle bigger around 100 lbs. Also, the blue colored one is pretty sharp.  But, you can get one in Hot pink, black and only the larger sizes have a neon green colored one if you don't want to try the royal blue one.  These collars are priced good at $17.95.

Buy one to keep your dog visible at night.  

Or Win it!!!

One of my lucky readers will win an Illumidog Reflective Collar.

MANDATORY/REQUIRED ENTRY:  Please leave me a comment telling what color collar you would like for your dog

Thank You to all the Veterans!!!

Salute to Our Nation's Heroes - Veteran's Day honors the courage and patriotism of all men and women who have served in the United States armed forces. In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed November 11, Armistice Day; it became a national holiday in 1938. Congress changed the name to Veteran's Day in 1954 and President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the bill into law, "to honor veterans . . . a day dedicated to world peace."

11/11/11 Tradition - In 1921, an unknown World War I American soldier was buried in Arlington National Cemetery, the nation's highest place of honor. These memorial services took place on November 11, which was the anniversary of World War I's end, and were observed at 11:00 a.m - the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.


Throughout the country, observances are held in the form of prayer services, rallies, parades, patriotic speeches, assemblies, and grave-side flag displays.

I would like to Say Thank You and Honor All of Our Veterans today. I support our Troops and I'm praying for each and everyone of You. God Bless!!!

Get Unjunked in time for Halloween~Unreal Candy Party

When we think of Halloween, we think of Candy!!!  We think, "O Great" more junk!   But... Unreal Candy is Unjunking Halloween.

So you are thinking... Yeah Right!!  Unjunked Candy?  Is there such a thing?   If it's healthy, doesn't  it taste Gross?

Check it out...  Here it is...

• UNREAL54 ~ Candy Coated Chocolates with Peanuts
• UNREAL51 ~ Candy Coated Chocolates
• UNREAL77 ~ Peanut Butter Cups

• UNREAL 5 ~ Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bars

Chocolate with  All natural ingredients.  No Artificial Flavors, No Corn Syrups, No Perservatives, No GMOs, No Hydrogented Oils, No Synthetic Colors.



Let me tell you- This is Real!!  Unreal Candy is really Good!  I had the opportunity to host an UnReal Candy party and had a blast!  I had a few friends and family over and we got to sample some chocolate.  I also took some Candy to work and got my co-workers opinions. My son's school class all got his birthday party goody bags filled with Unreal Candy.

Everyone was so happy and Loved it!!!  They loved the fact that Unreal candy has 30% less sugar  and still tastes great.  It is creamy and a smooth, good chocolate, is what I kept hearing.

My Favorite and The majorities favorite was the Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bars!!! 

Second place was the Candy Coated Chocolates with Peanuts.   Coming in close for third place was the Peanut Butter Cups.   But, I think you should try these for yourself! 

What's great is the price too!!  You can purchase UnReal Candy at Target, CVS and BJ's at an affordable price.  These candies taste great, are better for you and the same price as the unhealthier competitor.  What's not to love?

I love watching the Olympics on TV-- Gymnastics is the Best!!!

If you have been here before,   You know that I used to Coach Gymnastics before I went back to work full-time this February.   Gymnastics has always been something I have Loved for many years.  This is such a Great Sport!!!  I Loved doing Gymnastics and Competing when I was much younger.  I dedicated alot of years to Gymnastics.  Training 4 Hours a night, 6 days a week, it wasn't always easy but is was well worth it.  Until, I got injured and decided to give it up.  Sometimes, I look back and regret that decision but so many paths along the way makes me who I am.  I went back to Gymnastics years later as a Coach.   Then Again Years later to Coach Again.  I would still be coaching today if I could juggle it all, but I can't really fit it in my schedule.
I miss all the kids at the gym & the other coaches as they hold a special place in my heart.  I need to stop in to the gym and see all the progress that everyone has made.

Watching Gymnastics on TV... These Girls and Guys make it look so easy.  Anyone who has ever done Gymnastics will know that these skills are Extremely dangerous and these athletes put alot of training in this sport.   I hope that watching the Olympics on TV, rather it be Gymnastics , Swimming, Basketball or your favorite sport, that it inspires the young kids to be the Best they Can.  Training in any sport, is alot of work but it can be alot of fun and rewarding too.

Wow... Time Flies!!!

Life gets Busy!!!
I am trying to juggle working Full Time again and all the Family duties and boy, my blog has taken the back burner. Don't worry, my house has too.
Sorry...
 I really enjoy doing reviews and giveaways!!  Stay tuned... I have a few good ones coming up this next week.  So, check back- I will be writing reviews and giveaways regularly again.

Wahl Deep Tissue Massager~ Review & Wahl Facebook Giveaway~

I received the best present in the mail the other day!!!  This was my early Mother's Day gift, Thanks to Wahl.   How did they know that I really needed this? 

Is your body sore?  Want a good massage?  Well...  Check this out! 

The Wahl Deep Tissue Massager is Awesome!!!   This will help relieve everyday aches and pains with the benefits of a therapeutic massage.  The variable speed dial adjusts the massage intensity to your desired preference.  This is a great feature, as in some parts of your body, you want a gentle feel while in other parts you want to dial it up and really feel it.  This is really powerful and works well. 

 You can customize your massage experience with the four unique attachments  The four finger flex attachment is one of my favorite.  It is soft with finger like-nodes the replicate a human touch.  The accupoint attachment targets deep into tissue and is great for  pinpointing concentrated areas.  The raised bump attachment, another favorite of mine, has a wide surface for the all over muscle massage.  The deep muscle attachment thumps smoothly as it creates a gentle, relaxing massage for an all over general body use. 

The unit is corded to provide maxium power.  The cord is fairly long and the massager has a long handle and is comfortable in your hands.  The nice thing is if your body is aching , you can use this yourself and massage that targeted spot. I prefer for my husband or kids to use this massager as it does relax you and makes your body feel better.

We love it!!!  The Hidden Recycler is really nice!!!  You can use this to keep your recycleables out of site!!! Just attach it to the inside of your cabinet ans it's our of site.   Or what I did was, attach it to my trash can and then it reminds my family to recycle the cans and glass bottles instead of throwing them in the trash.  There are so many other options to use this other than just in the kitchen.
