Must Have Dale & Thomas Popcorn

 Dale & Thomas has the best gourmet popcorn hands down. I thought I had tried great popcorn before, no way. I was mesmerized at first taste with freshness of each mouth watering bite sent in a nice gift box.

I was totally in love and if anyone wants to get me something for Christmas I would love my  two favorite Dale & Thomas popcorn, " Twice-As-Nice Chocolate Drizzlecorn & Peanut Butter & White Chocolate Drizzlecorn." Both is popcorn heaven, I could really over indulge on them.

Others we enjoyed are Chocolate Chunck N'Caramel Popcorn, Southwest Chipotle Cheddar Kettle Corn, Dale's Caramel Popcorn. I enjoyed the mixture of the Chocolate N'Caramel; however, the complete caramel was a little too much for my teeth. Not to mention I'm not much of a caramel person so that may be why. I'm also not much of a spicy eater either but, my husband said he liked the Southwest Chipotle and we all adored the Hall of Fame Kettle Corn.

Dale & Thomas Popcorn is the best tasting Gourmet Popcorn I've tried. For $5.00 off your order use Promo Code BB5 at checkout expires 2/28/12. Follow Dale & Thomas on facebook to keep up with the latest news.

EdenFantasys $50 "HolidayGIVEAWAY"

Adult Content Post:

A few months ago I experienced shopping with EdenFantasys and can confirm that when your package arrives no one will know what is inside your box. That is probably one of the reasons I'd never ordered before. I didn't want my mail person or anyone else to see addresses and pictures on the box.

Ordering online from EdenFantasys is so much better than in store shopping too. I personally feel very Self-consciousness just shopping for bras and panties. Shopping in the privacy of your home and even getting your husband in on the shopping action can be fun. I know my husband would never go into the lingerie department at a store due to other people there.

The holiday season is approaching and it's the time for ladies to get their Christmas Stockings on. Not just the boring everyday stocking but, the naughty nice candy cane kind. Don't forget to grab those Santa Hats because they really complete the look.


Thanks to EdenFantasys one of my readers will win a $50.00 Gift Card!!

RULES:
Must be 18 years old & 21 years old according to your state

We had the opportunity to review the Wildkin Wild Animal backpack and matching lunch box. The arrival of the set is when it became real to my son he was heading to preschool. He squealed and giggled that he had a school backpack and not to mention a trendy lunchbox that matches thanks to My Sweet Dream Baby. We love the bright colors and fun patterns of giraffes, bears, zebras, and all the fun animals. I really like all the inner storage pockets and even a small zipper compartment.

Rockboard Scooter Review & Giveaway

When I first ran across RockBoard Scooters I thought now those look cool. I bet every child any age would adore the Rockboard Scooters and adults too. So unique in design, the board is the power source, using the rocking back and forth motion of the rider. It can also be use as a regular scooter. Rockboard Mini Scooter for ages 5 and up to 90Ibs is available in 3 colors. Rockboard Original Scooter for ages 8 and up 200Ibs is available in 4 colors.

I was sent a Rockboard Scooter Original, “RB” Rockboard ball cap, & Scooter Tote bag. My husband quickly assembled it and the original is to big for my children right now, but my husband was happy to give a try. I was very surprised at how fast he took to the Rockboard. He was riding with ease. Immediately it came to mind what a great way for dad/moms and the kids to ride together and get exercise at the same time. 

I carried it over to my nephew house to get kids opinion of it. Ages of the 3 boys 13, 12, 8 years old took turned riding it down the street. They kept say cool and they had never seen one. The two oldest had no problems jumping on and going, but the 8yr was a little worried on how to do it. With a little instructions on how to start he was on his way riding. The 3 boys all loved it. The 13 yr said he could feel it exercising his leg using rocking motion and it was cool.

Rockboard Scooter folds right up an can be carried in the scooter tote bag or without. Easy and fast setup and break down. Let me share our sponsors video so you can see it in action.


The Rockboard Scooter is the summer boredom buster. One of the coolest summer toys and we would like to thank Rockboard Scooter for being a part of the Hotter than Summer Event. One reader will win their choice of either the Rockboard Mini Scooter or the Rockboard Original Scooter!!! Super thanks to our sponsor!

Protect-A-Bed Luxury Pillow System Review & Giveaway

Protect-A-Bed Luxury Pillow System is a brand apart from other pillows. Adjust comfort of your pillows by adding more or less filling though zipper closure. Filling is made of super soft microfiber. A pillow to suit to individual preferences is eactly why people carry their pillows on trips, to the hospital, etc. Luxury Pillow System features 100% Natural Eucalyptus based fiber Tencel. Tencel does not contain pesticides or agricultural chemicals.

I'm sure everyone is aware of how serious bed bugs have become Protect-A-Bed products offers a protection barrier against those pesty bugs. It has the same great protection Protect-A-Bed products always offer waterproof, allergy & dust mite protection. Luxury Pillow System includes patent pending Breathe-A-Vent, unique flap-covered vent that allows the pillow to breathe.

My take on the Luxury Pillow System, feels a little funny when you lay your head and it puffs out and then the Breathe-A-Vent sucks in. Then your head is enveloped into softness and it feels so nice. I love the protective cover, it feels comfy and it will save the life of your pillow. I also own the Protect-A-Bed mattress cover for my bed and would definitely recommend it too. It has saved my mattress from a sippy cup disaster, potty training toddler, and when my son was a newborn.

Luxury Pillow System is valued at $99.99 and recommended for sensitive skin and healthy sleep environments. Protect-A-Bed is a leading supplier of bedding protection products. Thanks to Protect-A-Bed for being a part of the 2010 Holiday Gift Guide and for giving two of my readers the Luxury Pillow System.
