Magid Yellow Latex Glove Review

Latex Gloves - not on many women's wish lists this Christmas but definitely one of those items on most our our NEED lists. I know that the one thing I despise cleaning the most is my boys bathroom and something as simple as the barrier of a glove can make all the difference in how long I put it off!

So when I was recently sent a box of these yellow gloves from Magid, I was actually kind of excited. These particular gloves are flock-lined for comfort and have an embossed exterior to provide a superior grip on any wet or dry surface. They are liquid proof which means you not only avoid contact with harsh chemicals, but you are also avoiding getting up close and personal with whatever germs are most likely present in the messes you are cleaning. Finally, they come off and on with ease which I find to be an added bonus when I am trying to quickly tackle a cleaning job and move onto the next thing on my to do list. I was given the medium size and was hesitant that they would fit (I am not exactly what you would call petite;) but they went on really nice without feeling too snug.

Wanting some gloves of your own now? Magid sells these by the dozen for only $10.63. That is perfect for having several pairs to leave around your house, out in the garage, in your trunk, or wherever else you might find yourself in need of some gloves. Don't have a need for that many? Throw them into little gift baskets with some of your favorite cleaning supplies to share with friends or neighbors.  Like I said, this isn't something I would always think to buy for myself but I would be glad to get them and I bet your friends would be too!

I actually don't have a need for a dozen myself so after putting a pair under each of my sinks I still have 9 left over. If you would like a pair of these gloves to make your cleaning projects that much easier and more sanitary, be one of the first 9 people to leave a comment below this post saying you want one (make sure to include your name and email address) and I will get one sent out to you.

(SORRY, ALL GONE)

**I was sent these gloves by a company that works with Magid Glove & Safety in exchange for my review but any and all opinions are my own.**

~Poo-pourri Giveaway~

One of my very generous followers recently won a gift pack from Poo-pourri and was kind enough to think of all of you and offer to share what she won. Isn't that sweet?

Let's start by getting the name out of the way - No, that is not a misspelling. You read correctly! Poo-pourri is a bathroom natural air freshener and room deodorizer unlike anything I've heard of before. The original concept to this deodorizer is that it is designed to be used BEFORE you go. Just a few squirts into the toilet bowl before doing your business and when you are finished, flush and it creates a barrier against unpleasant smells. How original!

My friend sent me this cute little package which includes Santa Poo, a Citrus and Holly Fresh blend of Lemongrass, Grapefruit, Evergreen and other natural essential oils that leave the bathroom smelling clean and fresh.

I am happy to pass this on to one of you and can't wait to hear what you think of it! I am going to make this one simple so all you have to do to enter to win is leave a comment on this blog post saying you want it (make sure to leave your email address so I can contact you if you win). One entry per person. You have until October 3rd, 2011 at 9pm PST to enter. Good luck!!

*If you are wanting to learn more about these products you can check out the Poo-pourri website (http://poopourri.com) or their Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/poopourri.spray?sk=wall).
**A HUGE thanks to Bryann for thinking of me and my followers!! You are so sweet:)

My Memories Suite Scrapbook Software and Giveaway

I am so excited to share this with you all! When I was given the opportunity to try out and review this digital scrapbook software from MyMemories.com, I jumped at the chance. The truth is I love the idea of scrapbooking and have even gone as far as collecting the necessary materials and sitting down to start a book. But that is usually about as far as I get. The main reason I don't get around to it isn't the job itself but the work of pulling out all the materials and putting them away. In a perfect world I would have a craft room the size of Texas with a separate work station for each of my craft projects so that I could jump from area to area whenever I had a free moment. Unfortunately that room just doesn't exist in my house, so when you add the time for prep and clean up to the actual page creating, I can never seem to find a block of time that big.

This is where the brilliance of digital scrapbooking comes in. The Memory Suite Scrapbook Software allows me to work on my scrapbook in my time, whenever and wherever I am at. If I have 10 spare minutes between one obligation and the next I can open up my computer and get back to work where I last left off. And when I am ready to be done it is as simple as hitting the save button and I can move right on with my life. No more running to the craft store looking for the paper that is just the right color or the embellishments that will add that special something to my almost perfect page. With this software, all of those things are right at my fingertips!

Not only that but My Memories Suite allows me a wider range of options for sharing my creations. I can print at home, have my albums professionally printed or turned into a custom calendar, or even use a range of multimedia outputs to give my work a wider audience.

I have had so much fun playing with this software. Want to see a little something I made to honor my son's first day of Kindergarten? There are lots of designer templates to choose from but I decided to start from scratch and build my own. I think it's pretty darn cute!

Are you excited yet? You should be because MyMemories.com has been kind enough to give one of my followers the chance to win the My Memories Suite v2.0 software (an almost $40 value)! Entry is simple:
Mandatory Entry - Visit www.MyMemories.com and have a good look around. Come back and leave a comment on my blog telling me something you liked, be it a page, a theme, a layout or whatever else catches your eye. Once you've done that use the handy dandy Rafflecopter widget below to let me know you have followed directions:)
Bonus Entries - For those of you who like extra credit (or in this case extra chances to win) you can do any or all of these to get an extra entry. Make sure you let me know you have done this on the Rafflecopter widget below:

Chex Mix Muddy Buddies Giveaway

Did you all know that Chex Mix is soon going to be selling Muddy Buddies YEAR ROUND? Neither did I. But the people spoke up and the people were heard!

If there are any of you who have never heard of Muddy Buddies they are a combination of Corn Chex cereal, peanut butter, and chocolate, dusted with a powdery sweet coating. Now everyone who knows me knows I do not like peanut butter. No, not even in candy or cookies. I know, weird. So I personally don't eat Muddy Buddies for that reason but I do know that everyone else in my life loves them. I have been making them for years for my husband, the guys at his work, my kids, holiday parties. Always a huge hit. I am so excited that they now come pre-made because I don't have to touch the peanut butter to serve these goodies to my loved ones!

I was lucky enough to receive a package from MyBlogSpark and Chex Mix that included a bag of Chex Mix Muddy buddies, an airtight sealed container, a snacking bowl, and a magnetic clip. My boys plowed through them in no time and have been begging for more!

I am not just showing you all of this to brag. MyBlogSpark and Chex Mix is also providing an identical gift pack for one of my readers. Isn't that cool?

Here's how to enter:
Leave a comment saying how you are going to take advantage of Chex Mix Muddy Buddies now that they are available year round. That's it! I will pick one winner using random.org. Make sure you leave your email in your comment so I can contact you if you win. (Giveaway is open until Wednesday 6/15/2011 at 8pm PST) - THIS GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED-

**This product was given to me by Chex Mix through MyBlogSpark but the opinions expressed are 100% mine**

World Vision and My First Giveaway!!

 I was recently chosen to host a party for World Vision through House Party. If you haven't checked this out yet you should definitely take a moment and sign up. Basically you are given the opportunity to host themed parties that range from Star Wars to PS3 to Folgers or Kraft. When chosen you receive a party pack of free stuff for you and your friends to get the word out about a product. Pretty cool! This is my second party in the last 6 to 9 months and I haven't signed up for many. They email you with new opportunities and you take a 5 minute survey to see if you qualify. This particular party pack came with all of this:

If you aren't familiar with World Vision, it is a Christian relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice.
Inspired by Christian values, they are dedicated to working with the world’s most vulnerable people. They serve all people regardless of religion, race, ethnicity or gender. Through World Vision you can sponsor a child for a little over a dollar a day. The organization not only benefits the individual children but also works within communities to help them overcome poverty.

I could go on and on but really it is something that you should check out for yourself. Realize that other than the goodies for my party, I get nothing for talking about World Vision. I just wanted to pass on this worthy cause to those of you who may have a heart for those in need. If you would like to know more you can check out the info here. Now some of you are thinking, okay already, I read this far so where is that giveaway? I would like to pass on to one of my readers a goody pack similar to what my guests will be getting. Actually, it will be better as it also contains an apron! Here is what you are trying for:

Apron, tote, spatula, bracelet, $10 off Woman of Faith (including 2011 dates), info on Sponsoring a child

So what do you have to do to get it you ask? Check out the link I listed above (this for those of you who don't want to scroll up) and then leave a comment answering this question: How many children die each day, mostly from preventable causes? I will take responses until Thursday September 30, 2010 at 8:00 PM PST. Using a random number generator I will plug in the number of comments and allow it to pick a number from that. If the first number chosen is a comment containing a wrong answer, I will chose a new number until a winner is found. Good luck!!

** Want extra chances to win?
-Mention this on Facebook, Twitter or in your blog. Leave an additional comment saying you did so for an extra chance to win.
-If you decide to sponsor a child, give a donation or purchase a gift based on what you see after visiting the World Vision website, leave another comment letting me know. (Use my host code 129014700 if asked when checking out and they may send you a copy of best-selling book "The Hole in Our Gospel")
