Jamberry Nails Review

Jamberry Nails are like getting a professional manicure that last a while, for no where near the price! I picked the Purple Giraffe design for my review and was impatient about getting them because I was so excited! Thankfully they came right away! 

Dont judge the flip flop lines:) 

Before/After

I am very active and also a HUGE germ freak so I wash my hands often and nail polish does not last on my finger nails, so I chose to do my review on my toes! They were super easy to apply, I recommend watching their tutorial video Here. The video makes it even easier, than you also know you did it correctly. It took me about 30 minutes from start to finish to apply them all. I think it would have been quicker but my daughter thought they were soooo cool and was a little in the way! 

All done!

I got numerous complements about them, asking where I got them done, how much it cost etc. I had to giggle cause I did it all by myself:)  They say that it lasts 4-6 weeks on your toes and 2-4 if you are active. Mine only lasted 2 but I was running every day and also at the beach often. If I would have glued them like recommended for active users they would have lasted longer. The good thing is I still have enough to apply it again! 

 

I only used 3 of them for all 10 toes! 

Right now they are having a B3G1 sale and FREE shipping!! Click here to purchase yours! They have some great designs!!

Zylie the bear Review

Zylie the Bear is and beautiful 18" teddy bear that is like NO other bear! While I have been asked numerous times if she is one of the Build a Bear's, I kindly tell everyone about her, as well as the fact she is so much better than Build a Bear and made with more quality (in my opinion)! If you are like my daughter you may have a child that likes to dress their dolls, but also wants to play with a doll that is soft enough to cuddle. Zylie is that, she comes with clothes, that quite frankly I am totally jealous of and if they fit I would wear them, they are super fashionable and made with excellent quality!. She also comes with a cute purse that contains, a diary, a passport, and a map of where Zylie travels. Travels you ask? Yes Zylie comes with her own educational books about her travel experiences. She is a well traveled 12 year old bear! 

Besides loving Zylie, the great makers of Zylie are as sweet as my favorite cherry pie too! Besides being generous enough to send Madison her very own Zylie bear to review and fall in love with, they donate some of the proceeds to the China Care Foundation. The China Care Foundation, offers underprivileged orphans the opportunity at a variety of surgeries, they other wise would not be able to receive!.

Here is Madison's review!

Zylie's temporary home for transportation

When Madison opened the box and saw Zylie I thought she was going to cry she squealed so loud and was so excited! 

After being very patient and letting me take pictures, Madison finally got to hold her Zylie bear. This is the point where I really did start crying! She was so much more than what I was expecting. Words can not describe the look of my daughters face when she held her for the first time.Zylie is so soft I would even cuddle her (although my husband would probably not appreciate that!). I also needed the tissues because as I saw the excitement on Madison's face, I knew that I was not the one that put that smile there, the generous makers of Zylie put that smile there. They truly are amazing people that care about others!

So Excited!!

It did not take long before Zylie felt like she was at home either! She had her own bed in a matter of minutes! 

No longer the dolls bed, Zylie took over! 

Although, Zylie did not make it to her own bed for nap time! 

We did a lot of different things with Zylie! We went to the library and read books, we went to the Farm City Days, (she had to stay in the car, we didn't want her to smell like a farm)She has to come with us every where, and she always has to have her seat belt on! If I forget to buckle her the world ends!

They even showed their dance skills together at Target! 

(I am suppose to inform everyone that Zylie loves Justin Beiber too!)

Madison and Zylie had fun reading stories and giggling together! 

Zylie also came with accessories!

Her super cool purse with her size items!

The Zylie "New York" Book and other outfits that can be purchased.

There is also a Panda bear Shen, that is the boy "doll". He comes his own goodies as well. Which maybe they will be SUPER generous and send me Shen because my son is getting very jealous of all the attention Zylie is getting! I think he feels a bit left out! 

You can visit the Zylie the Bear website HERE! I know that Christmas is a ways off but this would be the perfect gift for so many girls and boys. I know our hearts melted and we now have a new family member, and I know yours will too as soon as you meet Zylie or Shen!

Thank you!!

Bondi Band Review

I started the P90X work out in late March. I have wanted to get rid of the left over weight from having my two kids. I also play Kickball every Sunday, not to give my self away but we did win the championship:) I am also training for my first 5K. I have never been a runner, but it is something I am growing to love. So with all that said, I am a very active person. I have been looking for something to keep the sweat out of my face while I am running and have had no such luck.  Enter Bondi Band!!

Bondi Band makes headbands, hats, towels etc. Their motto " No Slip, No Drip" and " Where Fashion meets Function".  I agree with both of these. While I just got the worst hair cut EVER, (It is starting to grow to an acceptable length) I was afraid the headband would not stay in place, or not look some what cute on me. Thank fully, I can make two itty bitty pig tails and the band holds the rest of my hair in place. I picked the " I run like a girl" head band in Neon Yellow, it matches my shoes :) Besides liking the design, it also did what it was made to do!  I can run the whole 5K and the band is still in the same place (regular head bands I would have to fix at least 5 times in my run) and I don't have the annoying sweat dripping in my eye, through out the WHOLE run!

They have a variety of super cute designs, funny sayings, Military, crowns, causes, sports, etc. Check out the Bands here and let me know which ones you like! 

I would recommend these to anyone really! Besides great for running, if you want to keep your hair and/or sweat out of your face this is just a great brand! They are also super easy to clean, I just tossed mine in the washer and let it air dry!

Plus, there will be a giveaway coming up next week, and the winner will win their choice of design!!
