Help Support Make-A Wish with the PAAS/Heinz Easter Egg Decorating App.

Looking to spread some Easter cheer?

 Heinz Vinegar and PAAS have collaborated to bring you the Easter Egg Decorator iPad app, also assessable via desktop or laptop computer, we used the desktop version HERE. Now through March 31, when you decorate and share a virtual Easter egg with friends and Family, using the free app, Heinz and PAAS will donate $1 (up to $25,000) to Make-A-Wish.
 

How great is that!! My children love playing any games I let them on the computer and they were thrilled to Decorate virtual Easter eggs and email them to all our family, and support a great cause while having fun!!

 

The app is fun, easy to use, and like I mentioned above it goes towards a great cause.

I had my son Help Decorate the Virtual Egg and it was so simple but so neat with all the different ways to decorate your eggs!

First you select a color then how vibrant you would like your color to be, then you get to the decorating! There are so many options, colors to draw with, glitter to add, chalk, stickers, the possibilities are endless when it comes to decorating your egg with this app, just like when using PAAS and Heinz Vinegar for decorating real eggs!

 

Here is our finished project……

 

 

 

Then we decided to Decorate some Real Eggs using PAAS & Heinz Vinegar, to have a little Easter Fun even if it's not quite Easter Yet

We started off by using PAAS Decorating Doodles Kit, which is really neat, it includes the dye tablets to dye the eggs (don't forget to add Heniz Vinegar to the dye for the most vibrant colors) Also adding Heinz Vinegar to the water while you boil the eggs keeps them from cracking! The Decorating doodle set is awesome it comes with pens or markers that have the dye in  them and make it super easy to draw whatever kind of decorations you my want!

PAAS Color cups work wonderfully to dye the eggs in!

Heinz Vinegar is magical! Put it in the water while boiling the eggs to prevent the eggs from cracking and to make it easier to peel them! (2tbsp per quart)

 

Here are some pictures of us dying our eggs:

 

My youngest first time dying eggs

The doodle pens make decorating so easy for little ones!

And their finished product!!!

 

Needless to say we can't wait for EASTER! PAAS also has some awesome new kits that I am so excited to try out a little closer to Easter:

Volvano Eggsplosion!!

Touch of Velvet!!

 

I'll have another post soon with our results of using these awesome new kits!

Have Fun with All your Easter Activities and Go make some Awesome virtual Eggs!

Mohawk & Vinyl Disoder Review & GIVEAWAY!!

I did a review for Mohawk Home Last August and Loved doing that review, so of course as soon as I found out that I would be reviewing another Rug by Mohawk Home, and Giving one away, I was ecstatic!! If you would like to read my first review on Mohawk Home you can find it HERE.

I am very excited to be able to share with you about Mohawk Home and their beautiful rugs, again. I have known about Mohawk Home for a long time because of their great reputation for flooring and rugs and not to mention they are one of the foremost manufacturers and distributors of residential and commercial flooring in the world.. So, I was given the opportunity to review one their 5' x 8' rugs for my Master bedroom, a little mini makeover as I’ve been calling it. I visited the websites of the retailers that carry Mohawk rugs and it was very difficult to choose just one, I mean they have so many options I would put one in every room of my house. Like I said looking for a rug that would complete my mini bedroom makeover so I started by browsing for specific colors. After browsing through many many choices, I decided on the Mohawk Home Watamu Printed Rug which retails at Walmart for $142.00 (for the 5x8).

I know you want to see some before and After Pic s right!?!?!

My Lovely bedroom before (still kinda stuck in the style of my teenage years maybe)

BEFORE PICS

 

 

ANd the After Pictures...

Look at that Rug Beautiful Right!!!

 

 

Ok you can Clearly see the Difference of adding an Area Rug, it's UHMAZING! Who knew something so Simple could Update a room so quickly! And I'm sure you are wondering about the New Vinyl Decal above the Bed It came from Vinyl Disorder I've done 2 previous reviews for them they can be found HERE & HERE, honestly THE BEST vinyl company for any decal needs! This piece that was used above the bed was a custom piece and they were so easy to work with I just emailed them my idea and within minutes they emailed me back and had everything pretty much ready to go so simple, if you can think it I'm sure they can create it for you!This whole room remake took me maybe 30 minutes and required no handyman type skills and the room looks completely NEW! I am in Love with our room for probably the first time Ever!!!

It is amazing how a new rug and vinyl decal freshens up a room.  The deep rich colors in this rug really compliments the colors in the rest of the room. This rug is very well made, like all of Mohawk’s products, with the carpet being really plush and the edges of the rug are bound together! The Vinyl Decal was so easy to apply too, pretty much a Simple Peel and Stick and instant tranformation!!

 

Not only does Mohawk sell area rugs but they also offer a full selection of doormats, indoor/outdoor rugs, kitchen rugs, bath rugs, rug pads and wood flooring and so much more.  Here's the best part about Mohawk, they are made right here the U.S.A. in Calhoun, Georgia.   Take a minute to look at the short video about Mohawk Home and keeping their products made in the USA.

And if you are ready to get to shopping for a new rug to refresh your living space you can easily browse Mohawk's Products HERE for Area rug search, HERE for Browse by retailers, or of course Mohawk's site HERE!

THREUP


I was recently given the opportunity to Do another review for Thredup (my first review telling all about the site can be found HERE) this time showing how easy it is to save some $$$$ while still finding wonderful outfits for special occasions or just anytime, using Thredup!


I had a mission to find a COMPLETE Head to toe outfit for Easter for My oldest daughter all for only $20, impossible you might be thinking, shoes alone usually cost that much or more, well welcome to a whole new world of shopping with THREDUP!

 I'm one who likes Matching, now maybe not totally the same but we go with different "themes" or color schemes when planning for "matching" looks, and for Easter I'm planning a Nautical theme not off the wall crazy nautical look but classic timeless look that can be used for more than one occasion! My youngest daughter has a Sailor type dress that is Navy and White, it was mine when I was younger then my oldest daughter wore it and now it's our little's turn to wear it, so I knew that I wanted to match it, and was slightly worried that I might not find exactly what I was looking for, but boy was I wrong within 5 mins of browsing Thredup's Site I found the perfect Skirt for My oldest daughter to Wear, it's a Hartstrings (New With Tags) Navy skort with darling white anchors embroidered on it, perfect for our Nautical theme!

 

Look how Darling this Skort is!!!

 

Now All I had to do was find a Shirt and Shoes to match, and stay under my $20 Budget!!!

 

SO  I found this very cute Gymboree Short Sleeve Button Down

Loading zoom

Look how Cute those red Buttons are and this is simple enough to work with the skirt, the red button bring in that special pop of color to add to our Nautical "theme" and this shirt can be used for many many more occasions!

Ok so I still had shoes to find and I was still under my $20 budget......
 

I found these Lovely Children's Place Dress Shoes

These Shoes are perfect and bring out That Pop of Color in the Buttons of the Shirt!

 

 

How About That for Budget Friendly GREAT BRANDS Shopping, I Got Skort, Shirt, and Shoes for Under $20 and My daughters are going to look lovely for Easter! If I was Shopping Anywhere OTHER than Thredup I would've never been able to get an complete outfit for $20!

It Works Wrap Review!

I was Recently given the Chance to Review the awesome It Works Wraps, by Alicia Bozza. I had heard and seen all about these wraps all over the Internet and I will admit I was skeptical of it it would really work for me like all the pictures that I've seen! Well I am a believer now!

 

 

I have 3 children all younger (ages 6, 5 and 2 1/2) so My body was wrecked especially having them so close together and with each pregnancy I gained weight of course so finally this year I've lost all the baby weight (down to 136lbs! still planning on losing another 16-20lbs), but after having babies and losing weight, I had the dreaded Mom Pooch, you that pooch of stretched out skin that is just hideous and mine was probably one of the worst!

 

So this weekend I finally got a free chance to try out the Wrap, but before trying it out I headed over to the “That CrazyWrap Thing” Website to read up on the instructions. I was told, according to the site, to drink half my body weight in water the day before applying. Then thoroughly clean and dry the area you are going to try the wrap on, then apply and wrap with an ace bandage or plastic wrap. I used Plastic Wrap! You wear it for at least 45 minutes. Then you make sure to drink 50% of your weight in water for the next 72 hours. SO I cleaned and dried off my ick stomach and placed the Wrap on and proceeded to wrap myself in plastic wrap, not too tightly though, immediately I felt a really cool icy-hot type feeling where the wrap was applied. I actually liked that because in my mind if you feel something it may be working! So After being all “wrapped up” I was lazy and decided to kill my 45 minutes watching a movie, which ended up being an hour so I went 15 minutes over my time what can I say the movie was good and I lost track of time.

After taking off the wrap I still had lotion residue leftover so I just rubbed it in real well did want to waste any of the “magic”. Then proceeded to take after pictures! I was shocked that it actually worked for me!

Want to know a little more about the Wraps:

 

Ok here are my before an after pics I'm pretty sure I Can See a Difference!

 

 

 

 Overall the It Works Wraps totally worked for me and I know with continued use my results will only get better!
