Dacron Memorelle Fiberfill Smart Technology Pillows Giveaway & Review

All pillows are not made equal or even similar. I quickly missed the new pillow I was trying when my stay at the hospital with mom started. Dacron Memorelle Fiberfill with Smart Technology filled my pillow cases up and was wide enough for my head and shoulder tops to fit on. This pillow returns back to it's original shape and doesn't go flat or stiff. Then I headed to the hospital and met up with their kind of pillows. The barely pancake pillow and the rubber drench pillow, yes I named the pillows and they were horrible.


I got to come home for a while and reunite with the fluffy softness of the Dacron Memorelle pillow. It's a fiber filled pillow with characteristics of memory foam technology without the stiffness. The Dacron Memorelle Fiberfill featuring Smart Technology adjusts to movement to find a better sleeping position with memory foam like alternative that gentler on pressure points. The Memorelle feature home care washing and drying ability, which is a great feature.

Dacron has made it's name recognized with over 50 years of trusted fiber technology and their quality seal on bedding products. As a popular home furnishing brand, fiber quality can be spotted with tag lines that read "Trust What's Inside" & "It Just Feels Good."


I've found a good pillow can make sleep come when your not even tired. Just laying my head down to read with my son at bed time results in me falling fast asleep too, even if I'm not that tired and plan on getting back up to accomplish more. It does just feels good!!


Thanks to our sponsors Dacron one reader will win 2 Dacron Memorelle Fiberfill featuring Smart Technology Pillows their newest product this season. US winner.

ToiletTree Review & Giveaway

 If you've been around my blog for a while you may remember ToiletTree innovated bathroom products, the fog-less shower mirror, and the lighted version is now available! Well now they have a Bamboo 3 in 1 combo set for lotion dispenser, toothbrush holder, and soap dish. ToiletTree has a beautiful line of bamboo bathroom accessories and a new grooming line.

The Bamboo 3 Piece Accessory Kit:
Made from 100% eco-friendly bamboo.
Modern, unique and functional style.
Perfect for any bathroom or kitchen counter top.
Measures 7.5in H x 6in L x 7.25in W.

I love that it can be taken apart so easy to add lotion and the sleek stainless steel look against bamboo. It is simple to clean the toothbrush & soap dish, just pull the metal away.

I know it’s for the bathroom, but here’s a thought just remove the top off the toothpaste slot or leave it on. Add pens and pencils there. In the lotion dispenser add GermX. Add staples, tacks, etc. under the metal on the soap spot. Could also add a magnet under the soap dish and use that space to hold paper clips and they stay in place. Organize your desktop a little.


The Bamboo 3 Piece Accessory Kit is a nice item to freshen up your bathroom for spring and our sponsor ToiletTree has one for a US Winner.

AJ Madison Hoover SteamVac Appliance Review

People you speak to at a company makes an impression on you and employees represent companies. I've spoken with 3 employees of AJ Madison and the impression I received from them was Hardworking, Courtesy, and Knowledge of the company and their products. Each was a pleasure to communicate with via twitter, phone, and email. I helped with a giveaway back in July, one of my readers won a Weber Grill courtesy of AJ Madison, and I had the opportunity to review the Hoover SteamVac Series F5912900.

Back in the days before I had children I didn't have to use a carpet cleaner but, once a month. I found with 2 little boys making messes I have to use it more frequently now. Cleaning up little spills and messes they make and regular cleaning. For the past two weeks, I've had sick children, part of the back to school season. I've been hard at work cleaning the germs away in our home. I have to say having carpet can be a magnet with sick & non sick children with out getting too graphic. Thanks to AJ Madison the clean up task is simplified with the Hoover SteamVac Series F5912900. A must have for a carpeted home, bare floors, and upholstery care as you can see from the photo below why...

Now more information on the Hoover SteamVac, I'm not great at assembling products so my husband handled that part. It comes in pieces and requires assembly, according to my husband it was easy to put together, and didn't take him long. He had plenty of help with our son. I took some pics during the process.

The time came to try it out. First it has two tanks, easy carry handle for one on top for clean hot tap water and one on the bottom to suck the dirty water back up. I've used other carpet cleaners but, this one had a better spray that covered the area. The spin brush were better picking up dirty water than my old rolling brush cleaner and my floors dry much more quickly. I used less water cleaning with this model than my older steam vac. That meant I could keep going with less refilling the tank with water and solution. I also like the nice big filter on the recovery tank. My carpet looked renewed and my house felt so much more cleaner. This model has 3 speed settings to be used on bare floors and carpet with an surge button for heavily soiled areas spot treatments. To get in to the smaller spaces you can use the hose and attachment tools stored on the steamvac. I would always suggest get a steam cleaner with hose and attachments you will use them more than you think.

Hoover SteamVac Series F5912900 TurboPower Steam Carpet Cleaner with SpinScrub Brushes, 3-Speed Brushroll Control, Tool Mode, Removable Brushes, Heated Drying and Dual Tanks

Features:
SteamVac SpinScrub Features
SpinScrub Multiple Rotating Brush System
Heated Cleaning - Applies heat directly to the floor

Smoking Deals & Smokey Air

This morning the smokey air had my head pounding, kids sniffling, and really hard to breathe. I thought it was from the wild fires but, after returning from shopping we discovered it was our neighbors burning. This is an actually picture outside my front door.

We went to do a little Walmart shopping and came across a major shoe sale. The store is remodeling and expanding the electronics department. I found us all shoes, spending $47.00 for $230.00 worth of shoes. 11 boxes of shoes. I love sales like this!! I wonder what my husband will say?

Olee Kids Review & $50 Giveaway

I had this beautiful picture of my son, it the photo that is hard to capture. I actually got it by accident. My son was climbing through the tunnel at the playground. I was running to each side sticking my head in and saying peek a boo. I snapped some pics and this was one of them. I'd planned to have it printed to 8x10. While at Olee Kids, I saw that they do Snapshot wall graphic and can cut an image out of a picture. I thought well this one would be simple because I loved the background in my photo.

I was not sure if it could be enlarged as big as I'd like so I sent the original image & the way I would like it cropped to Olee Kids. They sent an proof image back and I could get it enlarged to 36" up to 54." The day came it was delivered and my husband open it and his mouth fell open:) We loved it! Olee Kids did a great job and I'm thrilled.

When I went to apply the Snapshot wall graphic I kept getting it crooked.  My mom was here helping and I'd ask if it was straight cause I was way up it the air. She said it looks great, I think she was talking about the picture or maybe she need her glasses cause it was one sided on the wall. I got my husband's level and marked the wall, finally got it up. It looks fantastic, everyone can see it when they walk into the living room in all directions. I can look up and see it at my desk:)

So the fact is you can move this wall graphic, because I had to while installing it twice. Olee Kids prices for a wall graphic begin at $39.99, a great value. Very easy to add an exceptionally large picture of your child and not have to worry of the cost of framing, because it applies directly to the wall and can be transferred.

"Olee Kids is a division of Valley Screen Process Co., Inc. Valley Screen is a certified woman-owned, large format screen and digital graphic manufacturer located in Northern Indiana. We specialize in decorative graphics for recreational products, wraps and lettering for vehicles and fleets, and window and wall graphics for home, office and retail spaces.

Giani granite countertop paint Review & Giveaway

I have a total new bathroom, well almost. The bath tub area is new but, my cabinet and counter top are the same with a twist. GIANI helped me transform my bathroom countertop  from the burgundy to the black & chocolate granite look I always wanted. GIANI saves money from costly replacements. It does take a little time to apply and with small nosey children & waiting on the drying time. Most importantly it was easy to do. Let me stress how easy:)

I was kind of nervous about this project, after I watched the video in my kit I was ready to go. Cuddos for the video to be included, it really showed me how easy this project was to complete. First I taped everything up and added the Primer-Base Coat. I waited the time for it to dry. I added each color of the minerals with the sponge starting with the lightest first. I realized I skip the dark brown, no problem I dipped the sponge and added on top. It blended in great and I love the out come. Happy with the look I wanted. I waited overnight for it to dry and added the durable automotive grade clear polyurethane topcoat.

GIANI granite countertop paint for countertops exceeded my expectations for my bathroom repair. My husband would walk though and look like she's destroying the bathroom I'm fixing. He came home to find it looking great after the sponge application and loved it too. Can't wait to show my family & friends. Note: Keep your Countertops looking great by not using chemicals-nail polish remover etc. GIANI also sells their very owner cleaner.

My dinners have more style now and seem to taste better, with Oneida Dinnerware. I reviewed the stylish modern Adriatic Green Square dinnerware set of 16 pieces to accommodate 4 people. I've showed this set to my mom & friends, same response "They are beautiful and love them."

The shape stands out as a prominent feature. The integrated color design of earthy colors and an outer black finish is dinning decor masterpiece. A beautiful combination of colors. What can not be seen from photographs is the thickness of each piece made of highly durable stone. I considered this would be my main purchase factor. They are indeed dishwasher and microwave safe.

This dinnerware will be a sensational setting at my Thanksgiving table. I'm looking forward to a beautiful Christmas centerpiece to adorn the Oneida Adriatic Green Square Dinnerware set.

Dezign With a Z Review & Giveaway

I've fallen for vinyl wall decals. Why? they are easy peasy to use. I came across Dezign With a Z, and they have a large assortment of wall art to choose from. Beginning with Laptop Skins and Glow in the Dark wall graphics.

The products are certainly different than any other site. I thought the wall mirrors, wall clocks, chalkboard, and custom decals were delightful. Mini decals are adorable. Dezign With a Z's Wall Mirror reflects like a mirror, but made with 100% mirrored acrylic / resin material to resist breaking. The states chalkboard can be great for learning the states and is just plan wonderful.



It is hard to believe there is a place with such a unique selection of playful, creative, and elegant home or office wall decor. I enjoy that they have video tutorial on their site for instillation of wall tats. I think Design With a Z's Custom Decals services maybe a great choice in adding your personal touch in. Art Work file or from a simple jpeg picture, Design With a Z can make your vision a reality on your wall....

Thanks to Dezign With a Z for giving one of my readers a $30 gift certificate.
