To Be Me Jewelry ~ Wish Upon a Starfish Bracelet {Giveaway} ~ 3 Winners {$58 Value}



Owner and Designer of To Be Me Jewelry, Claire DeRosa seems to me to be a free spirit! Her workshop is located in Monmouth County, NJ...down by the shore. Her designs as she describes them are 'funky-elegant,' using colors and details from nature as her starting point many times.

I love how she decided upon the name for her company. Clair says "people have asked how I arrived at the name, To Be Me Jewelry. I use to try to be just like everyone else...not like me. I found as I got a bit older that I needed to feel what was going on inside of me. What I found out, is I'm a unique person and need to reflect that person and not the people around me. I need to be true to myself and my spirit and the rest of life will flow as it should. As I look around, I see all woman as unique individuals. The only flaw I see in women, is they need to take care of themselves more. We need to take a break from being the care giver."

I was Blessed to receive a gorgeous Wish Upon a Starfish Bracelet for review! First of all it arrived in three days! Yes, three days! When I opened the package my bracelet was gift wrapped! That's a big deal to me! I don't get presents very often so to get a hand wrapped gift made me feel very very special. Every piece of jewelry is mailed in a tarnish resistant bag. So when your jewelry arrives don't toss that bag! It will be usable for at least a full year!

I'm so happy that this bracelet is available in three lengths (7, 7 1/2 or 8"). What a Blessing that is for many women! I ordered the 7" and it's perfect for me! I love the lobster claw clasp! That's the sign of a well made piece of jewelry in my opinion! I always feel secure knowing I won't loose my jewelry when it has a lobster claw clasp!

There are three piece of turquoise on each side of the bracelet and several silver beads which give this bracelet such wonderful visual appeal. I adore the rope textured links on the bracelet as well. Such attention to detail! That's what makes To Be Me Jewelry special!

Flip-Flops, favorite pair of shorts, comfy white tee and your Wish Upon a Starfish Bracelet and you're all set for a day at the beach, park, lake or any place outdoors! Don't forget the sunscreen ;)

The Wish Upon a Starfish Bracelet is designed with sterling silver, turquoise and a sterling silver starfish. From To Be Me Jewelry's collection - On The Beach. Handmade in the USA. Price - $58



The Wish Upon a Starfish Bracelet is so perfect for summer! I found myself singing "Under the Boardwalk" & Craving Salt Water Taffy! I had to include this video! Enjoy!

FINISH® QUANTUMATIC™ ~ Automatic Dishwasher Detergent System Prize Package Giveaway ~ 2 Winners



More dishwasher brands put their name to one brand which gives a clean so powerful it shines, making a commitment to brilliant results by recommending FINISH®! They've come out with a new product you are gonna love! If you are a gadget lover like Hubby the Hubster this is the for you!

When my friends at FINISH® asked me if I would like to do a Product Review and Giveaway I was very happy! When I told Hubby about it that evening, his eyes literally lit up! You see, I had not heard about the FINISH® QUANTUMATIC™ yet. But he had. He gave me a full description of it and was able to give me a full run down on how it worked! He asked me when it was arriving because he could not wait to give it a whirl! That man amazes me!

I was Blessed to receive a FINISH® QUANTUMATIC™ Automatic Dishwasher Detergent System for review!

SnugZee ~ Head & Neck Support Cushions for Car Seat {Giveaway}

GIVEAWAY OPEN TO ENTRIES WORLD WIDE

Newborns do not have sufficient strength in their necks to hold their heads upright without assistance. Their heads are inclined to flop forward or sideways, particularly if their car seat is too upright. When a young baby's head flops forward they runs the risk of compromising their ability to breathe effectively so it's essential to prevent this.

SnugZee works to stabilize your baby's head by providing sufficient support on both sides of the head.
  • SnugZee pillow support dimensions: 4" x 3" - The perfect size and shape to keep babies head stabilized safely.
  • SnugZee strap cover pads are 3" long and allow your baby to remain properly restrained, comfortably.
SnugZee
The patent-pending SnugZee is the only effective remedy for baby head flop-age available on the market to date, that won't compromise the integrity of the car seat.

I was Blessed to receive a SnugZee Crunch for review! Even though My Little Guy is nine months old and has excellent neck control, when he falls asleep in his car seat, which is every single time we take a car ride, his little head just flops! I remarked to Hubby the Hubster the other day how uncomfortable the baby looked! I wish I would have had the SnugZee when Hotty Patotty was a small Infant! I love how easy these are to place on the straps of our car seat (they velcro right on,) and that they can be machine washed and tumble dried, a must for our Little Guy who still spits up!

  • Removable pillow support cushions ~ 4" long x 3" wide x 2.25" tall
  • Strap cover pads ~ 3" long x 1.75" wide (when in use)
The SnugZee is a dual-purpose device! The pillow support cushions can be removed and strap cover pads left in place to prevent harness straps from irritating baby's delicate skin. This is particularly helpful for older children, in my opinion with delicate skin who are very active and may have 'outgrown' the pillow cushions.

The 2-in-1 design of the pillow cushions is easy to install and remove as necessary. No re-threading of car seat harness straps required. I love that! Transferring car seats is rough enough. Making sure My Little Guy's car seat is secure is a top priority with me. Having another device to mess with is not something I don't want to play with. The SnugZee Velcros in, easy peasy and when the baby falls asleep, his little head does not slump to the side or go lolling all around. He looks comfy and peaceful! Nice!

How to Use and Care for your SnugZee
How To Use:
  1. SnugZees should be affixed to the car seat harness straps prior to placing your child in the seat. Once your SnugZee has been securely fastened via Velcro enclosure, it is not necessary to remove and re-attach before every use.
  2. Open your SnugZee by unhooking the Velcro enclosure that is located on the under side of the strap cover pad.
  3. With the pillow support cushion guided into place on the strap cover pad, wrap the strap cover pad around the car seat harness strap. Securely fasten closed via Velcro enclosure and slide the strap cover pad up high onto the car seat harness straps so that the SnugZee touches the back rest portion of the car seat.
  4. SnugZees should sit high up on top of your child's shoulders when he/she is restrained in his/her car seat.
  5. SnugZees should never slide down your child's safety belt straps. If they do, please make sure your child's car seat straps are properly tightened. You should not be able to pinch or grab any amount of strap in between your fingers. Your fingers will slip and be unable to pinch or grab any of the strap if the harness is properly tightened.


The SnugZee is available in numerous colors and patters, so be sure to stop by and check 'em out!

Daisy Cottage Cheese Prize Package {Giveaway} & Freshen Up Your Fridge Contest


Daisy Brand Products are made with 100% natural ingredients with no additives, no preservatives and no artificial growth hormones. Having been in the dairy industry for more than 80 years, they recognize that making better products is a continuous process. They are proud of the products they make, but recognize they can always improve. GREAT ATTITUDE Daisy!

Daisy Brand is the leading national brand of sour cream (regular and light) in America. Daisy Brand recently launched its low-fat (2 percent) and regular (4 percent) cottage cheese. For more information, visit Daisy Brand.

I have to admit, I was NOT a huge cottage cheese lover! My twin sister adores it. I'm gonna let you in on a gross secret. As a little girl I LoVed cottage cheese mixed with grape jelly! How disgusting is that?

So when my friends at Daisy Brand asked me if I would like to do a Product Review and Giveaway I took a look at the website and decided to give it a whirl and here's why...

Daisy Cottage Cheese is a distinctively special cottage cheese. From how it’s made to the first fresh taste, the product’s unique attributes make it attractive to many. Each tub is specially sealed to be as fresh the day it is opened as the day it was made, so each taste will be creamy and deliciously fresh.

Unlike most cottage cheeses, Daisy Brand Cottage Cheese is made with 100% natural ingredients, and no additives, preservatives, or artificial growth hormones. I didn't realize that other brands use non-dairy thickeners such as starches and gums in their product. That's so wrong!

I was Blessed to receive some Daisy Cottage Cheese for review and to be honest, it was quite good! Daisy Cottage Cheese is Gluten free and Kosher for those with dietary restrictions. It's also available in a low fat version (2% milkfat) for those following a low fat diet. With just 90 calories per ½–cup serving you can enjoy a 100% natural low fat cottage cheese without giving up the creamy, delicious taste of Daisy Cottage Cheese! (Just an FYI regular Daisy Brand Cottage Cheese has just 20 calories more per serving, with 4% milkfat.)

I found I really like to eat my cottage cheese with fresh fruit! A scoop of Daisy Cottage Cheese and some peaches makes a tasty and filling light lunch that keeps me satisfied for hours! I also love to mix diced red, green and yellow peppers and a ton of spices into my Daisy Cottage Cheese then top this on a Garden Ripe Tomato! Pretty tasty. ( I admit it! I was wrong about cottage cheese!)

You can also cook and bake with Daisy Cottage Cheese! Click HERE for some terrific recipes. Here's a fabulous recipe to get ya started!!

Light Broccoli & Cheese Pasta
Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Time To Table: 20 Minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 heaping cup penne pasta
  • 1/2 cup broccoli flowerettes

Cook pasta and broccoli according to package directions. Toss cottage cheese with the hot pasta, hot broccoli, black pepper and 4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Divide into two oven-safe bowls and sprinkle each with 1/2 teaspoon of Parmesan cheese. Lightly broil for approximately two minutes or until slightly browned and serve. *Optional - try adding other vegetables for a heartier meal.
