WHAT SHE BUYS - REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

If you are still looking for Christmas Ideas you should definitely check out WhatSheBuys.com  They have something for everyone!  My husband is so hard to buy for but they had stuff for him too.  They have everything from Mens slippers, to wallets, bath robes, jewelry, toys boxes, and some of the coolest kid toys!  They are 5 star rated on Yahoo & they are also AAA rated by the BBB!

WhatSheBuys generously sent me one of their products to review.  I was sent a Gold Luxe Link Purse Holder - honestly, I had never even heard of these but am so glad they sent me one to try!

Luxe Link purse holders are a handy little item you put in your purse and then when you go somewhere (or even at home) instead of having to set your purse on a floor, on a door knob, etc. you can just pull out your Luxe Link and set it on the counter with your purse hanging from it.


One of my favorite features of the Luxe Links purse holder was the fact I can keep it in my purse with my keys hooked onto it.  You can even hook it onto your purse - which is great for me because I lose my keys a lot! (Enough that I have honestly had to call for a ride home from Walmart because I lost my keys in the store & had my kids with me!)

One of my lucky readers is going to get one of these to try out for themselves!





This is just one of the many products you can buy at WhatSheBuys.com, there selection is definitely set to impress!  I highly recommend to anyone to check out there website and I am positive you will find something you'd like!


TO BUY:  To buy a Luxe Link Purse Holder or see all the other awesome products you can get go to WhatSheBuys.com

MY LIP STUFF REVIEW & GIVEAWAY (open worldwide)

Don't you hate cold weather?  I do - my skin gets dry, my lips get dry, I feel cooped up in the house, the lip goes on and on!  Well, I can't bring back the 80 degree weather but I did just get a 3 pack of Mylipstuff to try!  The first thing I noticed was the smell, they smell delicious!  I also noticed how soft and creamy it is when you put it on!  It feels like it is melting into your lips - not like you will have a big thick layer of visible chapstick!  I have to admit I applied it thoroughly - when it smells that great how can you not?  Even with applying quite a bit it did not look thick - it looked more like I had a little lip gloss on!  Not to mention how soft and moisturized my lips have felt all day!  I think I have found my cure for winter dry lips!!!



The flavors I got were Red Hot Candy Fluff, Strawberry Daquiri, and Egg Nog Ice Cream.  All of them are great (and I even saved the Egg nog one for my son thinking I might not like it but I tried it and actually might like this one the best!)

If none of the flavors I got sound good to you, then why don't you check out some of their other flavors - they have over 500!  Yes, you heard me right - OVER 500 FLAVORS.  I doubt I could even think up 500 flavors so I am sure you can find tons of different ones you would love!  You can even get these with a custom label for your company, etc.

You can also order mylipstuff in 100% Vegan, Unflavored, Mens, etc...  They have so many options and the best part is they are only $2.50!  I think I will get some for stocking stuffers this year for Christmas - maybe a few will even end up in my stocking!

TO BUY:  Go to MyLipStuff.com

TO WIN:  One winner will get a 6 pack of these Lip balms from MyLipStuff

Great deal on Kidorable Items & more

** Update - it looks like shipping is $7.95 for the first item and $1.95 each additional (at least for Kidorable!  I just got my daughter the Houndstooth boots and only paid $6.95 total including shipping!)

I just found out about another online deal website - MODNIQUE - You get a $5 credit Instantly added to your account when you join!  AND.....  Through 11/30/2010 if you use code star at checkout you get an additional $10 off your purchase!  (The $5 credit can be applied to shipping but the the $10 coupon code cannot and word is that shipping is $7.95)

Here are some of the great things you can get (some of the better deals are lower down on the page)
Kidorable: 


Houndstooth Boots - $14 (after the $10 code and $5 sign up credit it would cost you $6.95 shipping & handling)





Cow Scarf is $5 and the Cow Mittens are also
$5 so to get both it would be $10 (after your $10 coupon code and $5 sign up credit you would only pay $2.95 shipping and handling)



They have sold out of a lot of the Kidorable items but still have these, a cow hat, ladybug scarf, frog mittens, dolphin shirt, and dolphin hangers!

I didn't look through all the shops but it looked like Modern Amusement had some decent priced clothes too!

CHARM FACTORY REVIEW & GIVEAWAY

«Oldest ‹Older Newer› Newest»

Okay I have a confession, I love jewelry!  I love jewelry like most women love shoes.  It is hard to find jewelry that I think looks okay on me (especially earrings) but I love it when I find something that does!  So you can guess how excited I was when I found out Charm Factory was going to let me review one of their bracelets!

First let me tell you a little bit about Charm Factory - the number one selling point at least for me is that most of their items are MADE IN THE USA (if they import any piece from somewhere else it will say in the product details).  May not be a big deal to some people but I try to buy US products when I can, I own a Saturn Car and a Dodge Truck - and the truck and car we owned before these ones were Saturn & Dodge too.  I don't buy foreign cars why would I buy foreign jewelry - I very strongly believe if we want to change our economy we need to take action and support our own products!  Don't get me wrong - I buy plenty of products not made in America - it is hard not too, but when I have the option in front of me of foreign or American made - I will take American made anyday!


Okay enough about me preaching about my love for American made products!!!  Charm Factory has almost 5,000 unique sterling silver charms, braclets, beads and more and their charms are .925 sterling silver!  These are high quality products and lead and nickel free!

I chose the Wild Animal Charm Bracelet and I love it.  It is so cute (there is a picture of it below).  Plus with a two year old I'm sure you can imagine how much she loves when I wear fun jewelry so it keeps her entertained too!  They have a huge selection and one of you will get to pick out your very own Charm Bracelet too!

Here is the Wild Animal Charm Bracelet I decided on!  The picture really does not even do it justice - there is so much small little details on this bracelet and it is so cute, and it even came packaged in a little gift box.



TO BUY:  Go to CharmFactory.com

TO WIN:  One winner will get to choose their own charm bracelet!

TRADING PHRASES REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

I have always envied those women who have the beautifully decorated houses.  I grew up in one of those houses - it was beautifully decorated and everything was coordinated.  Unfortunately, I never picked up those wonderful decorating skills and to top it off my mom who decorated the house so beautifully lives 3,000 miles away!  Needless to say my house is not one of those houses you just walk in and say WOW!  
I was thrilled to do a review for Trading Phrases because anything that gets me one step closer to having a beautifully decorated or warm and inviting home is always exciting.  I chose the saying, "We may not have it all together, but together we have it all." mainly because this describes my life to a tee!  I am always scatter brained, never feel like my house looks like it should, like I got everything done I should, etc. but I have a wonderful family and that is what really matters.  I do have it all but I am SO far from having it all together!
I got the package in the mail (in a tube) and knew exactly what it was!  I debated waiting until my husband got home to help me put it up, but I know he hates all my little projects and patience is not one of my stronger traits so I figured I would do it myself.  He was pretty proud to come home and see that I had even got the level out to make sure it would be level!  
The wonderful thing is they sent me two other small vinyl items to practice with.  I used the one that said "Life is good" and put it over our family picture - it was a piece of cake!  Then I moved onto the main attraction...... I definitely should have waited for my husband.  At first I got it stuck together and had to re-attach the vinyl words and was getting frustrated because I knew it wouldn't go back together nicely - However, I was WRONG - it all went back together nicely and then I got it applied easily.  I would suggest however if you are doing a large one on a very high spot to wait until you have a little help.  I think this would have been easy to apply if I wasn't so short and if I didn't have 10 or 12 foot ceilings and was putting it right up to the ceiling.  Trying to put something up while standing on a ladder and having a 2 year old at your feet trying to get up the ladder too is definitely not the easiest way to go about it.  Look how great it turned out though!!!


Doesn't that look great?  It adds such a nice touch to my house and makes it look so much better - I absolutely LOVE it!  One of my blog followers will be lucky enough to add a little warm inviting touch to their house too!  Trading Phrases is offering the winner the wall quote below!
Good luck to all of you!  I know I would love to win this, but I don't think I can enter my own giveaways - haha!

TO BUY:  If you want to purchase one of these cute wall quotes go over to TradingPhrases.com you will be amazed by the selection they have!

NachoMamaTees.com Review and Giveaway

I was sent another T-Shirt to review!  This time from Nacho Mama Tees!  Since my husband got a shirt last time I decided it was definitely my turn!  I found me a pretty Funny T shirt!  It is their "Choose Your Weapon" T-shirt...  Rock, Paper, or Scissors!

This site also has Funny T Shirts, Vintage T shirts, 80's T Shirts, Custom T Shirts, etc. and they also offer a $6.99 Daily T Shirt Special!

Here is a picture of the one I got!  I seriously Love this shirt, I thought it was going to be a little smaller but when they say they are true to size they are not joking - so make sure and order the size you really are, these shirts are pre-washed so they won't shrink on you!  Even though it is cold here now I just put on a long sleeve white shirt under it and it is warm and cute! 
I have learned however that my son "Chooses his weapon" much better than I do.  He thought this shirt was the coolest and made me play Rock, Paper, Scissors about a thousand times...  and won almost all of them - he has some serious Rock, Paper, Scissors skill - that or maybe I am too predictable!

Nacho Mama Tees is giving one of my lucky readers a Free Mystery T-Shirt or a $15 Credit to use at Nachomamatees.com!

NachoMamaTees.com is a great company and has such a wonderful variety of great quality shirts just like CrazyDogTshirts.com - we've found another A+ T-shirt company!


BUY IT:  If you would like to buy one of these great T-shirt's go to Nachomamatees.com

SKOY CLOTHS REVIEW & GIVEAWAY - 2 WINNERS

SkoyCloth generously sent me a 4 pack of their Skoy Cloths to review!  SKOY cloths are 100% biodegradable and natural.  The wonderful thing about these cloths are that they are reusable, machine washable, and equivalent to 15 Rolls of paper towels.  This means these could save you a lot of money (and I'm pretty sure we all like saving money.) 

The Skoy Cloths feel more like a piece of cardboard when you get them, but as soon as you wet them they soften up and are ready to clean!  I used one to clean my kitchen table as with two kids (one being a two year old) my table is pretty sticky and dirty at least two or three times a day - it handled the job quite well!

I also decided to go wash my car and take one with my to dry my car off.  It was nice because you can wipe your car dry and then ring it out and get back to drying!

Review Results: Skoy is another great product and is a reasonable price for what you get!  The only thing I didn't like is that I could only see one size on their site.  It would be great to be able to buy some in a larger size, especially for car drying!  Then again maybe I just didn't see them or maybe they are yet to come!    


** Update - I just talked to my contact at SKOY cloth & they DO HAVE A LARGER SIZE!  If you purchase these I would highly recommend getting a 4 pack of the regular size but also grabbing some of the larger size too!


TO Buy: Go to SkoyCloth
TO Win:  TWO of my lucky readers will also get a Four Pack of Skoy Cloths.  You must be a follower of my blog on Google Friend Connect for ANY of your entries to be valid - if you win and are not a follower a new winner will be chosen.
MANDATORY ENTRY 
1 entry - Follow DirtyTruthReviews on Google Friend Connect

HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

If you still need to get Halloween Costumes then check out Walmart.com Costumes Selection - they have a large selection of costumes at great prices!  They have over 100 different costumes for UNDER $20!

Plus shipping charges are pretty cheap too!  You can do free site to store shipping or a lot have $.97 cent shipping to home!  

I'd probably check this out today - Halloween is only a couple weeks a way and you want to make sure you have your costumes in time so you don't have to go pay a fortune on one!  I know I hate it when I wait until last minute and with 4 people in my family it can be quite expensive to go to the costume shops and buy 4 costumes!  (Yes, I usually dress up too - is that silly?)

Well let me know what you find!!

BEST GROUPON DEALS 10/15/2010

Here are some of the best National Deals I could find on Groupon today!

Birmingham - The deal on the right side of the page is $17 for $35 of personalized apparel/gifts from The Initial Baby

Las Vegas - 16x20 Gallery Wrapped Canvas for $45 from Canvas on Demand (S&H Included)

Omaha - $25 for $75 Worth of Wine from Wine Insiders Online Store (I think this is what my Grandma is getting for Christmas!  She loves Chardonnay and for $25 she can get a few bottles of the kinds she would like rather than me going and only being able to buy her one bottle - they have some Chardonnay as cheap as $9.99 on their site!)

Orlando - The deal on the right side of the page is $15 for $30 worth of Costumes & Accessories to use at CostumeHub.com

Some of these would make great gifts so don't forget to head on over to Groupon today :)

DAY OFF and a FEW Deals (Toys R Us - Sears - Etc)

Okay first off I love my job!  I really do, I mean as much as you can love having to work to pay the bills.  They let me work at home when I found out I was pregnant with our daughter and she is almost 2 years old and here I am still working at home!!!  Plus I have pretty decent benefits & pay so I cannot complain!
However, it seems like I am in such a slump lately - we have a lot of new stuff coming through and with all the new stuff I am not as productive (or I guess I am as productive but my numbers don't show it because some of this new stuff takes longer).  I am just so BLAH about work lately - like as soon as I clock in I am wondering if the day is almost over - it doesn't help having a cute little girl whining that she wants you as you are trying to get stuff done either!! 
Does anyone else ever go through these slumps?  I wonder if it is normal to usually enjoy your job but then for a while just feel so un-motivated or discouraged with it?  Would love any comments if anyone else ever feels this way!

Anyways - so I took the day off today, not to do anything.  Actually to do nothing!  To play with my kids, clean my house, whatever I want!  So I may not get too much posted today as I think we are going to go bowling or to the park or something fun!!!

I do have a few things though!

Sears is offering $10 of a $20 apparel purchase with this Coupon Expires 10/23

Toys R Us is offering 30% off your clothing purchase (Excluding shoes) with this Coupon Expires 10/24  (This would work great with the last post I made on Toys R Us and the great deals you can get on clothes right now!  Or check out the post Hip2Save made on this here

AND

Don't forget today is MEGA SWAGBUCKS FRIDAY!!!  Swagbucks is a search engine you can use to earn points which let you buy prizes.  I have not redeemed any of my Swagbucks yet but I have over 1000 points so I know I could get a few $5 Amazon Gift Cards, or other cools stuff!  If you don't use Swagbucks already check it out!  Especially because on Mega Swagbucks Fridays your chances at getting a lot of Swagbucks are a lot better!!!

TOYS R US

So.... My deal of the day! While we were out looking at Laptop prices I made a stop at Toys R Us to get some Christmas Presents. Since they are doing the little tike sale I figured I would buy my daughter the $25 wagon and get another $25 toy for free.... but of course since I wait until Thursday the Wagon was gone!!!

However, I did find a 15 inch Hannah Montana LCD TV for about $21.00! How awesome is that? It showed it was regularly $299 and was being sold AS-IS for $27.99 plus an additional 25% off - they let us plug it in and test it and it worked fine - so we got a new LCD TV for $21.00 - good luck finding ANY TV that isn't used for that price let alone an LCD! There was a Sponge Bob & Princess one too. They were each $45.00 or something close to that and then the 25% off so they would be around $34.00 - I think these were all displays so I'm not sure if your Toys R Us will have any but you might want to check - even if you just call and ask!

Also I read some people have been scoring some great deals on Clothes and Shoes at Toys R Us - that they are getting an additional 25% off the clearance on those too! Might want to check that out too! If you want to read about that deal check out this great blog (will link directly to the Toys R Us Post)  HIP2SAVE Toys R Us Post

** $10 OFF AT OFFICE DEPOT - VALID ON TECHNOLOGY ITEMS!! **

Okay so Office Depot is one of our favorite stores!  Probably sounds pretty lame to most of you right?  I know, I know..... no cute clothes, no shoes, jewelry, toys for the kids, etc. but my husband is seriously a lover of technology - Really truly a NERD - not the type you think of when you say nerd - the type that would love to be a true nerd.  Really I remember one day telling him "You are such a nerd, I cannot believe how excited you get over computers & stuff" and you know his response?  "Well if I was nerdier I would know how to do a lot more"  Only he could take being called a nerd as a compliment and wish for more nerdiness!  Honestly though we went to Office Depot today - 2 of them in different cities and to Best Buy trying to check out prices on Laptops as the screen inverter and the fan on mine has died!!!!  Wish I would have seen this coupon before I went out and about today!

Anyways - back to the point!  Most of the coupons you'll ever get for stores like this say Excludes Technology - in other words you cannot use it on Cameras, Memory Cards, Computers, etc...  I guess go buy some paper haha!  Well...........  This coupon is $10 off a $20 purchase and it is VALID ON TECHNOLOGY!  You could probably go buy some memory cards for pretty cheap with this coupon, a camera, etc....  I think I will go scout out what I can get tomorrow of Friday!  I will post what I find - if anyone else finds some killer deals to use this coupon with please post them :)

The link for the coupons are below - one expires 10/16/10 and the other is valid thru 11/20/10.

CHRISTMAS IS COMING

I like to get my Christmas done early and therefore will probably be posting a lot about good Christmas ideas!  I will be posting about other great deals and product reviews also but a lot of my focus the next couple months will probably be gift ideas! 

To start this off I thought I would let everyone know that Toys R Us is having a sale for little Tykes items.  It looks like you buy one at $24.99 and get one at $24.99 FREE!  I searched Toys R Us website and they have a little Toys R Us wagon for $24.99.  They also have a Fold up & Go Train Set for $24.99, Shopping Car for $27.99, and Girls Tee Ball Set for $19.99 - they have much more but these were my favorites.

I think I will head over tomorrow and get my daughter the wagon for $24.99 and then get the Fold up & Go Train Set for FREE - $25 for both of these toys sounds like a great deal to me & since my daughters birthday is only a couple weeks before Christmas I need to stock up on presents for sure!

Groupon - one of my favorite sites

So have you checked out Groupon?  It is one of my favorite sites!  You can find so many great deals on Groupon, anything from Etsy Shops to Soap.com to a local restaurant or spa!
I will periodically post some of Groupons deals that I think are worth checking out!

http://www.groupon.com


Go to the above link and set your city to check out your local deals - but they also have some awesome national deals too!  Here are a few of their national deals.

If you change your city to the city listed below you will see the following deals!


Cincinnati - The side deal (on the right hand side of page) is $15 for $40 Worth of Skincare Products Plus a Free Lip Plumber from pH Advantage.  I have never tried these products but I am thinking for this price I might snag some and see how I like pH Advantage.


Boston - The side deal (on the right hand side of page) is $10 for $20 on Soap.com - soap.com is not how it sounds, they sell much more than soap.  You can buy anything from toilet paper and laundry soap to body wash and shaving razors on soap.com - they have all sorts of good stuff!

There are also a few others that caught my eye:

Tucson - $15 for $30 at CostumeHub.com
Cleveland - $20 for $40 worth of Brownie & Cookie gifts at Fairytale Brownies!

Don't miss these deals!  Remember on Groupon - the deals usually only last one day.  Since these are on the weekend though they probably will not be gone until they post the new deal for each location on Monday!  So if you want one of these, don't chase missing it!  I have a friend who wanted the movie ticket deal but twice has missed it because he waited until he got home from work and it was sold out!


Hope there is a deal some of you will like :)  And - hope you all have a great weekend!!

Schick Hydro 5 Razor Review and Giveaway

Have you tried the new Schick Hydro 5 Razor?  I bought one a few weeks ago and felt I HAD to post about it!

I love this razor!  I am always in a hurry when I shave, I have cut myself numerous times, tend to get razor burn sometimes, and all in all just plain out dread shaving - it is so time consuming and such a pain!!!

I have not cut myself with this razor once, it makes shaving a lot quicker also since it gives me a nice smooth shave the first time I shave!  Plus I don't know what it is with this razor but it does not seem to clog as easy as some of the other razors I have used!

I like this razor so much that I bought a razor to giveaway!


This is a simple giveaway, there are a few ways to enter!  (Open to U.S. Only)

** Mandatory entry ** - Follow me via Google Friend Connect - Leave comment showing you follow me.
** Optional Entry ** - Leave Comment stating your favorite razor!
** Optional Entry - Worth 2 entries ** - Blog about this giveaway, tweet it, facebook it, etc with a link back here to the giveaway.  Leave a link of where I can verify you completed this.  Leave 2 seperate comments for this.

Giveaway will end Oct 15th at 11:59 pm and Winner will be chosen via Random.org - Winner will be posted on website and emailed.  If no response within 48 hours a new winner will be chosen.

Baby Signing Time Review - What a great way to learn American Sign Language!

     Baby Signing Time has all sorts of products!  Honestly the only one I have used is their videos, but I absolutely love them!!!  My daughter has been watching these videos for sometime now and I honestly think that she has a bigger vocabulary because of these videos.  She is not even two years old and can tell you a large variety of words such as Banana, Apple, Moon, Dirty, All Done, Finished, etc. and she can show you the American Sign Language Sign for all of them!
  
     These movies have a lot of fun songs, show you the sign for each word and are actually kind of fun for the whole family.  We found these videos due to my brother in law being partially deaf and watching these videos and he loves them!  My daughter does not have any hearing problems (unless you count selective hearing) but she also loves these videos, she will even continually sign baby baby signing time so you know she wants to watch it!  I have even learned quite a bit of sign language from these videos and would recommend them to anyone.

     If you know anyone who could use or wants to learn American Sign Language these are a great place to start especially for children!

If you want more information on baby signing time their website is - Babysigningtime.com
