Cafe Press Review & Giveaway - (U.S. & Canada)



Did you know you can find millions of vintage t-shirts, coffee mugs and other unique gift ideas at CafePress!  I was so excited when they asked me to do a review because after checking out their site I knew once again I could let my husband pick something out!  It sure helps him be more "understanding" about my blog time when he gets to try out some fun new products!

After hours of searching their website (I am not exaggerating.....  they really have THAT MANY awesome items to check out) we found the below items.  If you know my husband and how he feels about his 2nd amendment rights (or any of his rights for that matter) then you know that these are a perfect fit for him!



Really - You have no idea how perfect these are for my husband.   It is even funnier because he really isn't that great at spelling either!  He was like a little boy on Christmas when he received these items!  Whether you like these or something completely different they will have something that you LOVE.    Honestly I debated getting me a Pittsburgh Steelers hat like the one below or a fun clock but ultimately I knew how much my husband would love the hoodie and bumper sticker so that is what we got.



They even have children clothing items.  They have clocks, stadium blankets, stationary, yard signs, your picture on canvas, etc.  They have so many products!

The Dirty Truth is Cafe Press is the place to go when you are looking for something that will be a perfect gift or when looking for something that will speak your opinion.  They have so many fun products that there is something for everyone - literally!  The products are high quality - my husband was surprised how thick and warm the hoodie was, he thought it would be a lot thinner for the price.  He was also very happy that the bumper sticker was such great quality.  He said, "It is made of vinyl or something but it isn't one of those normal flimsy and thin bumper stickers you buy!"  I will definitely be returning for Cafe Press in the future!

TO BUY:     Go to CafePress.com

UTAH BLITZ - Womens Football - Review & Giveaway (U.S. Only)

I recently found out we have a Women's Football Team!  How cool is that?  Even if you don't live in utah you may have one of the teams around you!  You can see all the teams and info at wfafootball.com.  This isn't like the womens football where they barely touch eachother or prance around.  This is serious stuff, this is tackle football, watch out or you'll get plowed, you'll need more than band-aids kind of football!  I am so excited to go watch the games!

Another great thing is they have Open Practice!  Any women interested in playing Womens tackle football can email Utah Blitz @ utah.blitz@yahoo.com.  They are recruiting women from ALL locations!  They play at Judge Memorial High School which is right in the heart of Salt Lake City, Utah.  So feel free to join them for an EXCITING 2011 season!

 If you would rather watch then play (which is what I will be doing..... I would probably get killed on the field!) then make sure you plan on going to support them for their season opening game on April 2nd.  You can view their full schedule or other info on the team at UTBlitz.com


If you are looking to advertise your business the Utah Blitz is selling banner space for their four home games.  If you are interesting in hanging your banner or any of their other sponsoring options contact them at utah.blitz@yahoo - they have sponsoring packages for any size business and would love to help you figure out which one is right for you!

If you don't have a business but would still like to do so go to UTBlitz.com and use the paypal link - make sure you mention Dirty Truth Reviews in the notes for extra entries in the giveaway!

They are trying to make the local area more aware of this awesome team and get all the fans out to the games and cheering them on!  We may not have a NFL team but we have a professional womens team we should be supporting!  You can count on me being at every home game!  I can't wait to see Utah show these other teams how it's done!!  GO BLITZ!!!!
If you want to buy some Blitz Apparel to wear at the games (or anywhere) head over to crewcolors.com and make sure to enter the giveaway below for a $25 CrewColors Credit!



Another way to support the team is they are selling suckers for $1.00 each.  (They are BIG suckers - my daughter has had the same one for a week, guess it is time to get rid of it and get a new one - 2 year olds aren't to good at eating one that big but she loves to try!)  If you would like to purchase suckers you could e-mail the blitz at utah.blitz@yahoo.com

TO BUY THE $1 SUCKERS:     Email Utah.Blitz@Yahoo.com

SURE CUTS A LOT AND MAKE THE CUT.

** Update my best suggestion/solution from hearing reviews on other machines is the Silhouette Cameo machine - you can get the bundle from Amazon for  $269.99

UPDATE:  If you are looking to buy a copy of Sure Cuts A Lot you can get Version 3 at the links in the review below!  Version 3 is not compatible with Cricut.  If you are looking for Version 2 (which is compatible with Cricut Machine) then go here to buy it. (that is the only place I could find that still carries it!)  Soon you won't be able to get version 2 so if you want Sure Cuts A Lot for your Cricut Machine Buy it NOW before it is all sold out!  If you want it for another machine don't worry it will be around and available of the craft edge site!

I will no longer be doing a review of Make the Cut!  Sorry everyone but they no longer support Cricut Machines.  If you have a different machine that they support you may still want to try it but if you have a Cricut Machine I would recommend going with SureCutsALot by Craft Edge.  I know their are other programs out there like "Fairy Cut" but I have heard Sure Cuts A Lot is just as good and is a lot less (Fairy Cut I believe is around $100 where as with the links/coupon codes posted at the top of my blog you can get Sure Cuts A Lot closer to half that price!)

I am really sad I never got to try Make the Cut with my Cricut but I LOVE Sure Cuts A Lot and it is all I really need anyways so I guess I am not too worried about it!  So if you are looking to save money and quit buying cricut cartridges you can go buy Sure Cut A Lot 2 by Craft Edge here!  Make sure to use coupon code 9388463 for 10% off!

SkinMD Natural Shielding Lotion Review & Giveaway

I recently received a bottle of SkinMD Lotion to review.  Let me tell you - this time of year in Utah - I was definitely needing some good lotion for my dry cracked winter skin!


First - a little about Skin MD from the company:

This shielding lotion  has been recommended by over a thousand doctors and dermatologists for dry skin, eczema, and psoriasis. You do not need to
possess any of these skin conditions in order to use Skin MD Natural.

Skin MD Natural is the lotion goes on easily, absorbs fast and has no greasy
feel at all. It's unique formulation and natural ingredients makes this
shielding lotion far superior to any convention skin cream. Feel as soft a
silk with Skin MD Natural, that's the "wow" factor when you try it. You feel
the results but you don't feel the lotion.

However, behind the softness that you feel, a shielding lotion does the real
work to prevent dry skin in two ways.

First, it assists the inner layers of skin to absorb moisture. The humectant
(an ingredient that attracts moisture) used in Skin MD Natural is unique to
it and has been laboratory tested to be 6 times more effective than any
other you will find in common creams.

Second, a shielding lotion enhances the power of the top layer of the skin
to resist environmental irritants while protecting the inner natural
moisture.

This can be a big benefit for those who cook, wash dishes and garden because
Skin MD Natural helps skin retain its natural moisture and oils in the face
of all those irritating soaps and chemicals.

Skin MD Natural is also an eco friendly skin care option. Our product is
made in the US using solar power energy. Our lotion is never tested on
animals and contains no animal ingredients making it both vegan and cruelty free.


The Dirty Truth on Skin MD Natural Lotion is it truly works!  My skin has been so dry and cracked lately with the weather but I put on Skin MD and it feel and looks great!  A lot of lotions I use work for the first hour and then my skin is dried out again but Skin MD keeps working.  I love how soft it makes my skin feel and how much better I look with smooth moisturized skin rather than dry cracked skin!

TO BUY:     Go to SkinMDNatural.com

TO WINOne lucky reader will win a bottle of Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion! - Complete ALL Mandatory entries below and any Optional/Bonus entries you want - Leave a separate comment for each and make sure your e-mail address is in each comment!!!

*** MARCH MADNESSS 5 DAY GIVEAWAY - BOBA CARRIER REVIEW & GIVEAWAY $100 value

«Oldest ‹Older Newer› Newest»

You already know I love the whole idea of baby carriers and I honestly feel it might make the baby more "lovey" and bond more. I cannot say this is a fact but from my first child being held all the time and LOVING to cuddle (even now that he is almost 10) to my 2 year old that wasn't held all the time fighting you off when you try to hug her or cuddle with her I would say the two might definitely be connected!

I was really excited to be able to review the Boba Baby Carrier! Before I tell you how I feel about it here is a little tid bit from their website about how the Boba Baby Carrier came to be!


"We are a big advocate of baby wrap carriers for infants and small babies and our son virtually lived in the Sleepy Wrap for his first 16 months of life. As he became bigger we started looking for something more practical to be able to continue carrying him.

Soft structured carriers were new to us. We experimented with a few different carriers available on the market. It wasn’t so much that they were digging into our shoulders, but more the feeling of our son not being secure and leaning away from our bodies in the back carries. He also complained that his legs didn’t feel good even when seated facing our back in a wide seated carrier.

So for one year he refused to be carried. Most would think that a blessing. Well, the problem was that he still wanted to be carried, but only in our arms. We started toying around with the idea of creating our own soft structured carrier for toddlers after successfully launching Sleepy Wrap more than 3 years ago.

We were always brainstorming and trying to figure out how to make our design better and ended up first adding a safety buckle so there would be no spontaneous releases. Then a light bulb went on. We just had the best idea- foot straps- to get that digging fabric off of little hamstrings, prevent bigger legs from just hanging and just give them a place to rest- just like the rungs we rest our feet on when we sit on a bar stool. After eleven different prototypes and almost one year of going back and forth, we finally got it right. Our son turned 3 by the time our final prototype was made and although he’s a big guy, he loves it.

We couldn’t compromise; we had to get it right. They had to be butter soft and we even took the extra step of making them with only certified organic cotton. To top it all off, we decided to make them right here in our home town of Boulder, CO with the help of local mountaineering professionals.

And the Boulder Baby carrier- the “BoBa” was born."
Robert Antunovic
Co-founder


Reading all of this about how the carrier was made got me excited because I learned that it was made here in the U.S.A.  I am a HUGE fan of American made products and love to buy American made and support my own countries economy!  So already this was a big plus for Boba!  

Well the Dirty Truth on Boba Baby Carriers is they are GREAT!  These carriers are of the highest quality, my daughter loves being in it (which I assume means it is comfortable for her).  The carrier is also comfortable for me.  I was a little worried when I first decided I might try out baby carrying because my back always hurts.  I thought baby carrying would put me in a lot of pain - WRONG!  The weight is put on your hips which I would assume are very strong because it does not hurt to carry my 2 year old or have her in it for long periods of time.  I love how easy it is to get the carrier on and off, and the padding in the shoulders and waist area.  I also liked that my daughter could put her arms in or out of it and the high back support for her so I didn't constantly feel like she might fall out!  This carrier is built perfectly, I honestly cannot think of anything I would change on it!  Boba gets a big two thumbs up from me & my daughter!
These carriers are normally $100 (or $118 for the organic) but you have a chance to win one!  This is a 5 day giveaway so get all your entries in NOW!

SLACKING!

I know I have been slacking the last couple days.  Rest assured that I will be back to getting everything done soon.  We had a rather scary event with my daughter a couple nights ago (she just passed out/fainted and went limp in my arms).  The paramedics for the ambulance got here checked her out and said she was fine.  I took her to the doc yesterday and we got an iron test which was fine and an EKG - which we'll find out today (I'm sure it is fine as well).  It is more than likely something called "Breath Holding Spells" which is genetic (my husbands sister did this also) and does not cause any health problems, etc..  (besides serious anxiety for the parents!)  So.......  if any of you ever have this happen you may want to Google "Breath Holding Spells" and you can find out all about them and how common the actually are.  I am getting the EKG done just because the doctor recommended it and it will be nice to rule out that possibility but I am sure we will find out everything is fine and I will be back on here within a day or two getting caught back up!  Thanks so much!!!

Fantasy Jewelry Box - Review & Giveaway (U.S. Only)

I am a bargain shopper.  Really.  I have a hard time paying $25.00 for a pair of jeans.  Sad but true.  I figure why pay full price when I can get a gift card off a deal site for 50% off or wait until I get a store coupon?  Very rarely will you find me paying full price for anything other than my bills, and boo - taxes!  So naturally when I found Fantasy Jewelry Box I was thrilled!

My husband use to buy me beautiful Jewelry.  I had a cute heart pendant diamond necklace and beautiful white gold earrings which ended up missing last summer.  I filed a police report but have heard nothing.  They were beautiful and sentimental and .....  expensive.   Buying jewelry like that doesn't fit into the budget anymore with two kids, a mortgage, and all the other stuff!  So I have just been going without any new jewelry, until now!

Fantasy Jewelry Box carries all the beautiful jewelry you see the stars wearing only they make knock off ones at great prices.  So now you can own celebrity jewelry without breaking the bank!  After my jewelry coming up missing I am more careful with the jewelry I still have.  For example, they have imitation diamond rings.  Well, when I go on vacation I drop my wedding ring off at Shane Co. to be cleaned & wear a fake one while I am out of town!  Well, the diamond (fake one) fell out of my fake ring last vacation so I have been needing a new one.  Plus I really wanted one that looked real!  Well, look at this beautiful knock off I found at Fantasy Jewelry Box!


Can you say BLING BLING?  I absolutely LOVE this ring.  It is gorgeous and perfect for me to take on vacations!  Here are a few of my other favorite things that Fantasy Jewelry Box has.





Well as if the beautiful jewelry & their great prices aren't enough....  they have great customer service too!

I was pretty sure I wore a size 7 ring, when I got it though it was too big!  I e-mailed them to ask if I could exchange it for a size 6 and to my surprise they agreed and told me to wait for the return envelope they would send so that I would not have to pay any shipping costs!

How cool is that?  I was the one that ordered the wrong size and they were willing to pay the return shipping and to ship me the replacement out!  That alone would keep me a returning customer.  Customer Service is a HUGE factor on where I shop and I was so happy with their customer service and their jewelry so I will definitely be back for more!

CHECK YOUR LOCAL WALMART CLEARANCE!

If you're going to Walmart today make sure you check out their clearance!  I normally hate Walmart clearance.  It is usually is something like $14.00 - Was $14.86.  Seriously less that $1.00 off and they call it clearance?  Well this weekend they had some GREAT DEALS!  Not sure if all Walmart's are doing it but the manager at mine said he had a load of fertilizer coming in the next day so they were trying to clear out some of the stuff to make room!  Which was great for me - I seriously spent about 3 or 4 hours just waiting as he marked more items down.  Here are a few of the items I got at great deals.

See this Mr. coffee Frappe maker?  Yum yum.....  I think it is a pretty decent deal at Amazons $69.99 since each Frappe I buy at the local coffee shop costs me $5.00 this is only 14 days of buying a coffee's cost!  Well I got it for $20.00 this weekend at Walmart.



Or how about new comforters?  I picked up new Comforter/Sham sets for $5.00 each (I got two Full/Queen Size and 2 Twin size). 
Oral B ProCare 1000 Toothbrushes were on clearance for $67.00 but that day I got each of us one for $20.00 each (if any of you have some soft of Oral B coupon this would make for a great time to use it!)
NICE frying pans were $3.00 to $5.00 each.  NICE wash rags were $0.50 each....  the deals go on and on....  $30.00 toys for $2.00, etc.....  I spent $180.00 and had a full trunk, full back seat, and full passenger seat, and a HUGE SMILE!  So if you're headed to Walmart check the clearance and hopefully yours has some great deals!

UMI SHOES - REVIEW & GIVEAWAY - US & CANADA

I have previously reviewed some awesome boy boots from Umi Shoes!  You can see that review here:  http://dirtytruthreviews.blogspot.com/2010/12/umi-shoes-review-giveaway.html

I already knew I loved the boots for my son.  I was excited to do another review to find out how I felt about their girls shoes though!  They are so cute and I was really hoping they would be as high quality as the boots!  Here are the shoes I got for my daughter.

I loved that they velcro and how darn cute they are!  A few of my other favorite shoes they have are below.






Now for the Dirty Truth on the Umi Shoes.  The shoes I got (chickadee) are just as high quality as the boots I had previously got.  She has already got them muddy, wet, etc and they clean off so well and look just as good as new.  They are easy for her to put on herself (which is a must at this age since she is Ms. Independent and wants to do everything herself!)  My favorite thing about these shoes is how sturdy they are, you can tell they will last her until she grows out of them.  You can tell with the quality that even after she outgrows them I will be able to hand them down to my niece!  I absolutely love them and remain a HUGE Umi Shoes fan!

Also, they are having a great contest right now you might want to enter.  You can go to their website:  UmiShoes.com for more information!


TO BUY:  You can buy UmiShoes online at www.Umishoes.com

VEGAS RESORTS/HOTELS REVIEW

 I contacted 2 companies to review their hotels in Vegas.  Caesars properties & MGM Properties.  While neither of these properties were able to comp the room or provide you with a giveaway :(  I did get a response from both of them!  MGM Properties PR contact sent me a very professional e-mail declining the offer.  While Caesars properties PR contact Jaqueline offered me a media discount.  She then later said she had looked at my blog and wouldn't offer me the media discount because it was a family blog and Vegas is not a family location.

I must have forgot that I have kids when I planned this trip to Vegas I guess?  Forgot they are my priority?  Or wait, maybe I figured even mommies and daddies like to get away!  Even though my kids are a top priority my marriage is too.  Getting away every once in a while is a great thing for a marriage and since it will be our 5 year anniversary (and I just found out my cousin is going to get married in Vegas as well) I decided we totally deserve to get away for a weekend!  So yes I am proud to say I am a family woman.  I am proud to have a family friendly blog.  I am proud to be open-minded enough to know that even a mother of two children can have a great time in Las Vegas!!!!  I would really think that a Public Relations position should require someone to be professional.  Plus, really what is the media discount?  $5 or $10 a night?  Couldn't they turn down the $15 cost on their end with a little bit of decency?  I am kind of excited at they didn't because now we are staying somewhere great!

Needless to say - we will not be staying at any of Caesars Properties.  We are staying at Monte Carlo for a couple nights and then at Bellagio for a night.  I am so excited, we got a Lakeview Deluxe Room at Bellagio for a GREAT deal.  Cheaper than any other "nice" resort in Vegas!  I totally recommend signing up for their players club online if you are planning a trip because you will get e-mailed tons of great deals!  How romantic will it be to be on a high floor in the Bellagio watching the fountains?  Well, I will let you know in July!  I cannot wait for this needed vacation and to let you all know how it goes at these resorts!  We aren't going to be there too terribly long but if there is anything you've been wondering about or wanting reviewed in Vegas let me know and I will try to make some time!
