Rabbit TV Review

Being a college student is getting expensive and my part-time retail job does not go very far. I feel like after food and rent there is not much left over. My parents help with the big stuff, but anything “fun” they tell me I have to pay for on my own. My roommates and I have internet access but we opted out of the cable service to save on the bills we share. Of course I was the one who really wanted cable but they said if it was going to be in the apartment, I had to pay for it myself. Unfortunately, coveringthe cost of cable would take a whole week’s paycheck. Not having a cable was a shock for me. It was the first time since leaving home, I found myself in this situation. I felt like I was in my own reality show! How was I going to Keep up with Kardashians every week? 


Forget trying to figure out who got kicked off Survivor. I attempted to look for deals and student rate packages. No matter what cable carrier I looked into, there was nothing in a price range that I could afford. Asking my parents to pay for cable was out of the question. They always thought I could be studying more anyway. Once while doing a research paper I saw an advertisement online for Rabbit TV. I was intrigued by the idea of watching 5000 TV stations from my computer. All I needed was internet access. For so long, I was complaining about the fact that that was the only thing we had in our apartment. Now, it was all I needed. 

Pros:
  • Plugs into any computer (Mac or PC)
  • Accessible anywhere in the US and Canada all you need is internet access
  • Fights boredom and dealing with limited programming from regular cable carriers
  • 30 Day Money Back Guarantee

Cons:
  • All my friends always want to come over to watch TV and eat our food.

With internet access, and the Rabbit TV usb stick, I could watch all my favorite cable stations. I could even listen to over 1000 Radio Stations. This was fantastic too because buying mp3 tunes was getting expensive. I went to the website and purchased the product. For just $6.99 I was able to purchase a second one which I planned to let my roommates use. I felt bad that I was going to be the only one up on our favorite TV shows.

Rabbit TV saved the day one time when I was stuck in a Chicago airport because of snow storms back home in Boston. My flight had a 5 hour delay. I just popped in Rabbit TV and the time flew by. I watched some stand-up comedians on Comedy Central and all my grumpiness from the day disappeared. For a second I forgot that I was in the airport and not at home watching TV! I started watching a movie on Lifetime and before I knew it, my flight was boarding. Rabbit TV is a lifesaver.


I have even used Rabbit TV in hotel rooms too. Accessing premium channels at hotels can be expensive if they are not already included with the room. And, some hotels just don’t carry a very big variety of channels. Lucky for me I have Rabbit TV and watch Bravo, Discovery, Fox, Cartoon Network, and the Travel channel until I fall asleep. It’s fantastic and I never miss my favorite shows.

With over 5,000 TV stations and 1,000 Radio stations I am no longer a victim of boring programming. When my friends with cable say “there is nothing on” I just smile at them. There is always something on Rabbit TV. I’ve even started watching some channels I never knew about. I’m even started enjoying some educational channels. I am saving so much money on movies too. I am able to watch movies on a variety of channels on a regular basis. Rabbit TV is so cool. I wish I had discovered it much sooner.

I’ve read some reviews complaining that Rabbit TV does not give the viewer any more access to shows already on the internet. Sure, anyone can watch repeats of Family Guy and Seinfeld on the internet. I think there’s a free website for that. But, personally, I have seen every episode of both of those shows at least once. I don’t need to access my favorite episodes besides, I actually own most of them on DVD anyway. I want access to all sorts of TV stations at any time. The reviewers are wrong because the regular internet does not give you such access. You have to have Rabbit TV. To have the freedom of all programming available, Rabbit TV is the only solution.


My roommates are thrilled that I discovered Rabbit TV. It was a great solution to what could have been a huge expense for us. When our friends come over, they do not even realize we have Rabbit TV. We have our computer hooked up to our HDTV so our shows come up on the TV screen. When we told our friends what they were watching, they couldn’t believe it. I showed them and recommended they get it too. The buy one get one for $6.99 is irresistible. I’ve recommended this product to so many of my college friends. It’s a great way to save money but have all your favorite shows too.

Ruggies Review


When we moved into our new home I was very excited about the hardwood floors. I have always loved the way area rugs look on hardwood floors and was eager to decorate. When we found the perfect area rugs for the various rooms in the house and put them in place, I was very pleased. However, after about a month, I wasn’t happy. Between the kids, cats, and dog, and my husband with his sports fanatic buddies watching games in our living room, the rugs never stayed in place. 


I’d always start the day with them in one spot and by the end of the day they were practically across the room. I was beginning to think hardwood flooring wasn’t all that I had hoped they would be. But at the same time, I loved the way they looked and I did not want to give them up. So, I searched on the internet for some help. After one search, I found my answer: Ruggies. These rug grippers hold any rug in place without scratching the wood or ruining the rug. I ordered them right away from the website. Plus, with a 30 day money back guarantee, how could I pass it up?

Pros:
  • Buy one get one free. Just $10 plus shipping and handling.
  • Enough for four rugs.
  • Simple! Press onto hard flooring or carpeting to keep area rugs in place.
  • No damage to floors.
  • Easy to remove, wash and remove,
  • Reusable.

Cons:
  • It is still difficult to find that one unique rug that compliments the room perfectly.
  • Washing the carpet is not as easy as washing Ruggies.

I was so pleased with Ruggies that I purchased some for my mother-in-law. She has carpeting in her home but is a fan of area rugs. It is nice that they work so well on carpeting too. Because they are so easy to clean they are reusable. I know my family will get years of use from these perfect grippers.

There are a lot of rug grippers out there. I know this because every time my kids have play dates at our house, the other moms are amazed at how well the rugs stay put. We all have rough and tumble boys under the age of 5, so you can imagine how agitated the rugs can get. The carpet stays secure with Ruggies. Tapes, other rug grippers, and rug pads are weak in comparison. Nothing beats the best.


The other brands are not good enough for large area rugs. They were meant for small bathroom rugs and runners. Most of the other brands do not work on carpeting. They are a waste of money and, unlike Ruggies, do not offer a money back guarantee. There is nothing worse than putting your trust in a product only to find it doesn’t work and there and you can’t get your money back. The choice to purchase Ruggies was easy because there was a money back guarantee promise. You know a company stands by their brand when they make that kind of promise.

I have given them to friends and family on many occasions. Most recently, I gave our neighbor girl a set as a going away present to college. She will be able to have a non-slip carpet in her dorm room at her university. Once her friends notice how secure her carpet is, I have a feeling I’ll be getting a call to send more.

The price of this product for the value is exceptional. This type of quality product and excellent price is hard to find these days and in our economy. So many cheap products come out that are not only expensive but poorly made. Right away, I knew Ruggies was different. You can tell immediately that the product is quality and will have a long lifespan. I know there are a lot of cheap substitutes in stores, so I always order my Ruggies online at the main website so I know I’m getting the real deal.

The stress of keeping my house clean is sometimes overwhelming. But knowing that I can wash my carpets and replace them with ease is comforting. Also, knowing that they will lay flat and wrinkle free is of huge importance to me. A wrinkled rug is unsightly, not to mention dangerous! I now also bring them to our lake house so the kids can wipe their sandy feet on a secure rug before entering the house. Before, I would walk out and the rug would be bunched up somewhere near the front door but no where flat or secure.

I highly recommend this product to everyone who wants to make their house or apartment rugs slip-free. On hardwood flooring or carpeting the rugs stay firm and secure and keep the place looking clean and orderly. I will never use another product even if it seems similar, because this one is truly the best!

Table Mate Review

The Table Mate is one of the most used pieces of furniture in our house. I originally got it as a tray to eat off of while watching television. My husband and I both have our own tray and often enjoy casual dinners in the living room. We sit and watch our programs as we eat dinner. The table adjusts comfortably to my husband’s La Z Boy chair, and I am happy in my chair.

Click Here for Table Mate's Limited Time Best Deal

When I was placing the order, I was not expecting to get two tables, but when I ordered the first one for $29.95 a second one was offered to me for free. Of course I couldn’t pass it up. Now I can not imagine life without it. It has six different heights and three different angles so it is easily adjustable to always fit our needs. And it has a weight capacity of a whopping 50 pounds.

Pros: 

  • Adjusts to six different heights. 
  • Adjusts to three different angles. 
  • Lifetime guarantee 
  • Folds flat for storage 
  • Portable Has a cup holder


Cons: 

  • When I go to other people’s houses in the neighborhood, I find myself getting frustrated at regular tables because none of them adjust to my needs like the Table Mate. 
  • I will never get the opportunity to see how flat the table folds for storage because I never want to put my Table Mate away. 
  • My husband has a newfound love for model airplanes and works on them on the Table Mate. He is able to adjust the table in a perfect way for his craft. This is a problem because he needs to fix real things around the house.

One day after I picked up my grandson from tennis practice, he tossed his school book bag on the Table Mate. He was rough, as ten year old boys are, and I was nervous. Not only did his back pack have his very heavy school books in it, but it also had his laptop computer. But the table stayed sturdy and has held up for even heavier things since then. I use the table every day so I’m grateful it has a life time guarantee. I can’t imagine my life without the Table Mate.

As a senior citizen, I have found that things are much easier to do when they are at the perfect height. The Table Mate enables me to do such things in a way that a regular table could never do. My eye sight is not very good without my glasses but the Table Mate is easy to adjust without any problems. I do not even need to look at it when I’m doing the adjusting.


I enjoy using the Table Mate for my sewing and crochet crafts. I am able to set up the pieces on the tray table while sitting comfortably on the couch. I do not have to strain my body in any way to work on my crafts. I use the cup holder to hold a cup, but not for a drink. I place my scissors, pins, pencils, crochet hooks in the cup in the cup holder. Everything I need is comfortably at my finger tips.

When the grand kids come over we enjoy doing puzzles and playing card games on the Table Mate. It is the perfect size and adjusts to even our youngest granddaughter, who is three years old. The angle is also perfect for the kids to read. The tray holds the book and they are all able to share looking at the book during story time. The kids bring their laptop computers over and are always using the Table Mate for their work. There is enough room for them to write in a notebook or on a piece of paper, while the laptop is on the Table Mate too. The surface is spacious but not too large.

Over the holidays I was grateful to have the Table Mate because we used the tray as another place for food. I was able to put the mashed potatoes, corn, salad, and dinner rolls on the tray which gave us extra room on the main table. I even draped a small table cloth over it to dress it up a bit. My guests wondered where I got such an ideal table that fit our holiday needs so perfectly.


I use my Table Mate in the summer time to bring snacks and drinks out to the grandchildren playing in the yard. The Table Mate is so portable that I can take it pretty much anywhere. And, it is light enough so I can pick it up myself. I do not need any help carrying it. That says a lot because I usually can barely carry my bags of groceries without help. I also use it in the summer during our annual garage sale. I use it as a desk for the money drawer and tags. It truly is the perfect table.

I highly recommend the Table Mate to anyone for a variety of reasons. It is the most versatile table anyone could have in their home or office. With the buy one get one free offer, it is truly a great value. Even if you do not think you need two tables, you will quickly discover that you will find a hundred uses for it. We have four Table Mates in our house and find endless uses for them on a daily basis.

Tag Away Review

For most of my adult life I have had unsightly skin tags. They made me very self conscious. While everyone was out at pool parties and barbeques in the summer time, I felt ugly and stayed at home. I never wore sleeveless shirts or anything revealing because I was so aware of the skin tags all over my upper chest, neck, and underarms. I had tried a number of elixirs and medications prescribed to me by my dermatologist but they did not work completely. Some of the medications were painful to use on my sensitive skin. No matter what I tried, there were still traces of the skin tags and the trips to the dermatologists office were getting expensive. I desperately needed a solution that was not tedious, time consuming, or out of my way.

The painful rubbing under and around my arms was almost more than I could take until I saw a commercial for Tag Away. I felt I had tried everything, but I was willing to try something new if it meant that I would finally find something that worked. I knew there had to be an answer and I did not have to live with these disgusting skin tags for the rest of life. My mother, aunt, and grandmother all had skin tags, and I was not about to carry on the legacy.

Click Here for Tag Away's Limited Time Best Deal

The Tag Away commercial showed real life examples of people who had used the product and had fantastic results. I was intrigued. I also liked the fact that the product was all natural and the ingredients did not contain harsh chemicals. I had already put up with so much pain from this condition I was not interested in putting myself through any more pain. The fact that the product was all natural and they even mentioned that it was painless in the commercial, made me call the number and place my order.

Pros:
  • The product was $29.95 with a buy one get one free offer
  • Free Shipping
  • No scarring
  • Painless
  • No harsh chemicals
  • Perfect for all skin types
  • Works in as little as 3-8 weeks
Cons:
  • This product can not be used while pregnant. I wanted to give a sample to my neighbor who also had skin tags, but she was 8 months pregnant. The label warned not to use the product while pregnant. 
  • There is an expiration date. Like most medications, this product has an expiration date. It is something to be aware of since the bottles are large and will take awhile to go through.
The website is very easy to order from without speaking to a representative. I ordered Tag Away as a gift for someone and purchased them online. When I first tried the product I ordered it over the phone because I had a few questions for customer service. They were extremely helpful and patient with me while I asked questions. My guess is they get a handful of the same questions every day, but they made me feel comfortable and supported. It was almost like talking to a pharmacist.

I have very sensitive skin and love the fact that Tag Away is all natural and gentle. There are no chemicals in the product and that makes me feel good about putting it on my body. I noticed the skin tags drying up and falling off after about three and a half weeks. They simply dry and fall off. It is painless.

Ever since buying Tag Away I feel so much more comfortable about myself. I wouldn’t even wear a swimming suit because I was always so paranoid about people seeing the skin tags. Feeling self conscious and having low self esteem over the skin condition limited the things I was able to do. I’m in my forties now, but I started getting skin tags in my twenties. Had I known about Tag Away sooner, I could have gotten out and lived my life fully. Ever since getting Tag Away and having such great results, I feel more comfortable in my clothes. I wear more revealing clothing and enjoy my body. My intimate relationship with my husband has become enhanced and our overall marriage has improved tremendously.

It is amazing how such a small thing (or things) can rule the way you think about yourself. I am so grateful for Tag Away for not only healing my unsightly skin tags, but for also giving me my self esteem back. I feel confident and sexy now. The buy one get one offer is fantastic especially since the results are priceless. I feel so much better and enjoy looking at myself in the mirror now.

I highly recommend Tag Away to anyone who is looking for a real solution to their skin tag problems. The all natural solution of Tag Away is painless and leaves absolutely no scarring. The tags dry and fall off. It is as simple as that. No annoying trips to the dermatologist office. No more using pointless skin creams that do very little and leave my skin irritated.


I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Tag Away. It has changed my life in ways I didn't even expect. This product is the real deal and I would recommend it to anyone because it is perfect for all skin types.

Hot Huez Hair Accessories Review

My 13 year old daughter, Molly, baffles me with her ability to stay up with all the latest fashion trends. With all the fashion magazines and clothes she has, I feel as though she’s 13 going on 23! Some days, it takes her longer to get ready in the morning than it takes me. Everything from her clothes to her shoes to her hair has to be perfect and trendy. It makes me smile because I was the same way. It’s like the saying goes, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. 


So when Molly told me she wanted Hot Huez, I have to admit, I was really curious. The next day at work, my girlfriends and I went to the website and checked out the newest in hair fashion. Hot Huez is colored chalk that gives hair a playful and funky look while being non-permanent and completely washable. Where has this product been all my life? If I wanted hot pink in my hair when I was 13 I had to permanently color it! This product easily glides on and lasts until it is washed out. No mess, no fuss. Our teenage girls could go out to a pop concert on Saturday night with neon hair strands and go to church the next day without any trace of the funky style.

Pros:
  • Looks great on any hair length
  • Great price
  • No mess, sprays, or dyes.
  • Fast and easy.
  • Perfect for all occasions
  • Comes with four bright colors

Cons:
  • I want to borrow them but my daughter says I’m “not allowed.”
  • My kids think they are Rock Stars.

There are so many occasions to wear Hot Huez. They can be fun for slumber parties and birthday parties or glamorous for school dances and special events. My teenage daughter absolutely loves Hot Huez. I do too, because unlike glitter and paint products, there is virtually no clean up required for this. The product applies easily and quickly. This is also a plus because my daughter spends so much time in the bathroom as it is, anything to make her beauty process quicker gets the thumbs up from me.

My daughter’s whole cheerleading squad uses Hot Huez before all the big games. The girls look so cute with matching colored bangs and ponytails. And, with four hair chalks in a set, there is plenty to share. You really get your money’s worth with this product. The value is incredible because we’ve gotten so much use out of one order! A remarkable thing because my daughter shares with her friends and basically wears at least one shade of Hot Huez every day.


During one particular birthday party, my youngest son joined in the fun. His head of hair became a blank slate for the girls. Next thing I knew, he was walking around the house with spikey green hair. On special occasions I let him go to school that way. What can I say? It’s tough being the coolest mom in the neighborhood.

I love the creativity that sparks in my children because if this product. It is fun, simple, fairly inexpensive, and perhaps best of all, it isn't a video game or a social media site. Of course, pictures of the final outcome are posted, but the kids enjoy an un-plugged activity and I like that.

There aren't a lot of activities that my 13 year old daughter and 8 year old son enjoy doing together, but this seems to be one of them. It has helped bond the two of them and has made their relationship a lot closer.

There are a few hair chalks on the market right now that pale in comparison to Hot Huez. We picked some up at the store thinking they would be just as good as Hot Huez, but unfortunately, I wasted my money. Thechalk barely showed up unless we pressed hard on each strand of hair. Unfortunately, the product breaks if too much pressure is applied. My daughter and I noticed that the color of other chalks on the market are not as brilliant and bright as Hot Huez. You definitely do not get what you pay for with those products. If you use other hair chalks and have dark hair, it is almost impossible to see. Do not be fooled by imitation hair chalks. Hot Huez is the best and only hair chalk available.


I would recommend this product to anyone who loves fashion and style. Your hair becomes your accessory and it’s a unique way to spice up any outfit for any event. My daughter always wants to give Hot Huez as birthday gifts. All of her friends love them and are obsessed with how cool they look. Hot Huez is great for any hairstyle or length. Curly, straight, thin, thick, long, short, light, dark are all hair types that are able to wear this product. Hot Huez looks fantastic on everyone!

Flashlight Friends Review

As a single mom of two girls (ages 6 and 9) I find that I have to leave the kids with a baby-sitter a lot. I work long hours and because they are so young they still need help with their meals and getting ready for bed. Bedtime was always the hardest part for the girls. No matter how many times we went over it and attempted to calm them down, there was no shaking the fear of the dark. This became a nightmare for the babysitter. She became frustrated and eventually quit. I left the girls with their grandparents for a few nights while I worked, but that was quite a distance from our house. They had to spend the night and the commute in the morning to school was brutal. I needed a solution fast. 


Getting a dog was an option but I knew that would just create more work for me. And, I couldn’t have the girls sleeping with me. One day at work I mentioned to a coworker my dilemma. I told her all about how the girls were afraid of the dark and how it was becoming extremely difficult to find a babysitter because of it. The nights I came home before the girls went to bed, it wasn’t a problem, but for those two or three nights a week that I worked until 9:30, I needed a solution. My coworker whose husband is a pediatrician suggested Flashlight Friends. 

Pros:
  • Stays illuminated for 10 minutes.
  • Easy tap on, easy tap off.
  • Safe for kids of all ages
  • 6 designs
  • Free shipping with the purchase of 3 or more.

Cons:
  • 6 different designs make for difficulty choosing which ones to get.
  • All other stuffed animals pale in comparison.

I had never heard of them but she explained that they are adorable stuffed animals with lights inside their tummies. How cute! I knew my kids would love them and what better way to fall asleep then holding a Flashlight Friend! I immediately went to the website and bought one for each of the girls for $19.99. I also purchased one for our neighbor who has a three year old toddler afraid of the dark. By purchasing three Flashlights Friends at once I was able to get free shipping- a fantastic savings! This was definitely an unexpected surprise. There are six fun designs so it’s a little tough to choose.

Ever since getting Flashlight Friends, the kids now want to play in the dark. What a difference! They go in their room and turn off the lights and read stories while holding their new Flashlight Friends. Most of all, I am so grateful that they have no problems going to bed at night. They are no longer afraid of the dark. In fact, they went on their first slumber party the other night! I couldn’t believe it. They had never been away from home – other than their grandparents house. Yet, with the Flashlight Friends they enjoyed the slumber party very much. They are even asking when they can go to another one.


The girls have begun having Flashlight Friends slumber parties of their own at our house and invite their friends over. Everyone feels comfortable with their own Flashlight Friend. The light never gets hot and stays on for a full 10 minutes. It automatically shuts off after 10 minutes. It is so easy to turn off and on. The glow is as bright as a night light but not so bright that a child can not fall asleep. We’ve also discovered that they make perfect companions on long car trips that go into the night too. When we visit my sister in Chicago, the drive often gets us in around 10pm at night. The girls have their Flashlight Friends so they can see in the car.

Flashlight Friends have done so much more than just make my kids feel safe in the dark. Funny as it sounds, this adorable toy has made me feel like a good mother. As a single mom I am constantly questioning how I am raising my girls. I am doing it on my own and so I can only hope I do not make too many mistakes. When emotional problems like being afraid of the dark and being afraid to sleep alone arise, I question what I am doing wrong. I always try to do the best I can and hope that they come out relatively normal. I know my long hours at work are tough on the girls, but I have to do them to support the family on my own. Getting the Flashlight Friends for the girls was so much more than a solution for sleeping through the night, it goes so much deeper for me and I am forever grateful that this situation was so easily solved.


I will continue to recommend this product to friends and family members because it is one of the best toys I have ever seen. This toy is fantastic and more than worth the price. The value is priceless for what this product has done for my kids. The finally feel safe and confident in the dark. Even the darkest, stormiest, rainy nights are no longer frightening. With six different designs, it’s fun to pick out the perfect one that fits each child’s personality. Fashion Friends make great gifts for birthdays. Children of any age will enjoy playing with them and having them to sleep comfortably with every night.

Cat's Meow Toy Review

I have two shelter cats that mean the world to me. They are my babies! I used to spoil them by getting pricey toys from boutique pet shops. However, no matter what, they always had more fun with the box. Even the interactive toys that I played along with them (like the laser and feather stick) did not amuse them after a while.


I had exhausted every effort to keep my kitties occupied by themselves instead of having fun with actual toys. I figured I needed to face the fact that my curtains and furniture were now fair game at playtime. Every time my sister came over, she would a comment about the couch being scratched up. I was forced to admit that my cats were the reason I could not have nice things. Then she mentioned an infomercial she saw on TV for a toy she knew my cats would love. I laughed because I literally felt as though I had tried everything. She assured me the Cat’s Meow Toy was different.

Pros:
  • Keeps the cats entertained for long periods of time.
  • Great physical and mental exercise for cats of all ages.
  • Quiet and not messy.
  • Motor doesn’t quit even if the cat jumps and pounces on it.
  • Battery Operated
  • Nylon cover does not rip

Cons:
  • Batteries not included.
  • All their other toys have become door stops.

The Cat’s Meow is made of nylon fabric so it is durable and is tear resistant. Even during constant scratching and clawing during rough play, the fabric will not rip. In the middle is the motor that hold the wand. When turned on the wand waves create a rippling effect similar to that of a moving mouse. The actual motor is protected by the nylon covering. One of my favorite features of the Cat’s Meow Toy is it runs on batteries. This is especially great for me because I can keep the kitties happy and far away from my home office. 

I know they are happy and occupied in the other room while I get my work done. Most of the flooring in our house is hardwood but my mother has one for her cats and uses it on carpeting. I’ve even used it outside in the grass. The Cat’s Meow works on any flat surface. My cats play with this toy every day and they never get tired of it. They do get tired – it’s fantastic exercise!


I have read some reviews saying that the cat gets bored quickly. I have tried this on several cats, not just mine, and all the results have been the same. I brought it to a friend’s house who wanted to try it out. Her cats loved it. The only time I could imagine a cat getting bored with this is if a bird got in the house. My cats are indoor cats and my friend’s have outdoor cats. Both types of cats enjoy this product very much. It is equally stimulating for cats used to all types of environments.

I read another review stating that the product breaks easily. I have had my Cat’s Meow Toy since the cats were kittens. Their playing style has changed now that they are adult cats. They are much rougher and tougher on the product. The toy is still as good as new. We have had no problems with it breaking or not working to our 100% satisfaction. By the way, the toy has a 30 day money back guarantee, which made feel comfortable getting the toy in the first place. What other cat toys come with a guarantee? Not many. Unless your cat is actually a panther or cheetah, the product will not break.

I was a little worried when I heard the product uses AA batteries. I pictured myself constantly buying batteries, but that was not the case at all. The batteries last so long. The on/off switch makes it very easy to keep the batteries from being drained. Also, when the toy is on it uses very little energy from the battery. I think my electric toothbrush eats batteries faster.


Overall, this toy is fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone. When you order from the website they double the offer. All you have to do is pay for shipping. I have one in the living room and gave one to a friend. They make great gifts for cat lovers! When I turn it on, the cats come running. It’s so much fun to watch the cats play. They love it!

Ice Cream Magic Review

Ice Cream Magic not only solves the problem of the kidsbeing bored and hungry, but it allows you to make fresh ice cream from your own trusted ingredients. It only takes three minutes to do, and it is fun for the whole family. Ideal for a birthday party, gifts, or just for the fun of it, this ice cream maker will provide you with hours of entertainment.


Pros
  • Ready in three minutes
  • Makes any flavor you want
  • Uses your own fresh ingredients
  • Also makes sugar free or low fat versions
  • No power source needed

Cons
  • You’ll stop going out for ice cream
  • The kids will want to make it every day



The benefits of having an Ice Cream Magic are obvious, but the cons are easy to handle. So what if the family wants to stay home for ice cream instead of going out to the local dairy stand? You’ll save money, and it’s a whole lot more fun to help make it yourself than simply buying it. If the kids want to make it every day, that’s okay too because you’ll know they are eating a sweet treat made from your own wholesome ingredients. That’s always a better choice when compared to the many processed snacks found on our market shelves.

Ice Cream Magic is easy to use. There are only three basic steps: add ice, add ingredients, and shake. Place ice cubes and water in the bottom of the ice cream cone shaped container. Add salt to start the deep freeze action. Next you will place the metal bowl over the ice mixture. This is where you can get creative. Add heavy cream and any flavor you desire. Screw on the top and start shaking. In about three minutes you’ll have your very own homemade ice cream.

For a more healthy option, use low fat cream or sugar free ingredients. The flavors you can make are as limited as your imagination. Make plain vanilla or add chocolate sauce for a traditional chocolate ice cream. Add your own fresh fruit for strawberry or banana flavored ice cream. You can even use Oreos, cookie dough, or chocolate chips for more variety. This is where the kids can let their creativity soar.


Ice Cream Magic is the perfect thing to use as a birthday party theme for children. It is hard to come up with party ideas for kids that are unique and different. Then you have to come up with games and crafts to keep the little ones busy, buy party favors, and make treats for everyone. With this one item you will have all of that covered. The kids will love making their own ice cream, and it will keep them busy. The result is a delicious treat they will be proud of having made themselves. Send each child home with the cone shaped maker and spoon as a favor, and they can make their own treat anytime they want.

Any family with younger children knows how bored the kids can get about half way through the summer. With no school to keep them occupied, they can quickly tire of their toys and games. This is the perfect time to pull out the Ice Cream Magic. Not only does it give them something fun to be entertained with, but they will have a refreshing treat for those hot July days.

If you’re in doubt about how good this product can really be, look at the reviews from happy customers who have already tried it. One mom reports “It’s so fun to make your own ice cream, and it works!” Another says “My daughter got two for her birthday, and my kids love this.” Ice Cream Magic does make a perfect gift for not only children but those of all ages. “Great gift for the entire family” is commonly heard from those who receive a set. It doesn’t have to be just for summer either. It would make a wonderful Christmasgift to help brighten up those long winter days.


Ice Cream Magic is available in two different sets. There is the Standard Pack that includes two ice cream cone shaped makers, one in a vanilla look and the other in chocolate. You’ll also get two ice cream cone shaped spoons to match and a recipe book to help you get started. This set costs $14.99 plus shipping and handling. If you order directly from the Ice Cream Magic website, they will include a second set free. The other set available is The Party Pack. This has a total of six cones, two chocolate, two vanillas, and two strawberries. There are also six matching spoons and the recipe book. The Party Pack is $39.99 plus shipping and handling.

Focus T25 Workout Review

Focus T25 is a short 25 minute workout that can actually give you the same results as a full 60 minute routine. You’ll feel better both emotionally and physically and look great too. This set of ten DVDs will show you how to burn calories and fat without wasting time you don't have on trips to the gym for longer workouts. It’s affordable, fast and fun.


Pros
  • A full workout in 30 minutes
  • Saves time and money at the gym
  • Affordable
  • Done in the privacy of your own home

Cons
  • You’ll have no more excuses for not working out
  • What to do with all that free time


Don’t worry about that free time. I’m sure you have all sorts of things to fill it with. Today’s world is demanding, and we all have busy schedules. Work comes first, followed by making sure the kids get what they need. Add to that the daily household chores, eating, and sleeping, and when are we supposed to squeeze in the time for a workout, let alone the travel time spent going to the gym each day? Shaun T has come up with the perfect solution. He is the same trainer that brought us the Insanity workout line, and now he has created an exercise program that will easily fit into anyone’s schedule.

The number one reason people don’t work out is that they don’t have enough time. Focus T25 gives you a hard impact workout that fits into just 25 minutes. Shaun T has taken the “rest” out of a good exercise program and left us with a workout that gets right down to the business of getting fit. These 25 minutes are equivalent to a traditional 50 minute routine when it comes to building muscle and losing fat. Done five days a week you will begin to see and feel the effects after just one week. Many have seen huge improvements after 50 days on the program.

Studies have proven that 30 minutes of exercise is just asgood at burning fat as a 60 minute workout, possibly better. The Focus T25 plan is an efficient workout that excludes the rest periods and cool down time. This is how 50 minutes of exercise can fit within a half hour and still give you the same results.


Focus T25 is affordable and fits into most budgets. The set includes ten DVDs and four free gifts. These gifts are created to further help you with your weight loss and muscle building goals. You get a Five Day Fast Track that gives you meal plans for workout days, 24/7 online support, the Stretch Workout DVD, and B-Lines. The Stretch Workout DVD guides you through stretching out the muscles after the five days of intense exercise, while B-Lines is a lightweight 15 pound resistance band that can be used with the workout routine for added benefits. The entire system can be purchased in three payments of $39.95 from their official website. They offer 100% satisfaction with their 30 day money back guarantee.

Reviews of this workout include positive statements such as “I thoroughly enjoy Focus T25 as a maintenance program.” Even if you are already in shape this DVD collection can help you maintain that status you’ve already achieved. Another customer describes it by saying “This is a good, fun workout program.” You’ll see results quickly as this review proves; “So the first week of Focus T25 is done and I’m hooked.”

You will be getting two workouts in this collection, the Alpha Cycle and the Beta Cycle. The Alpha Cycle is the foundation of the program. The five DVDs in this section include Cardio, Speed 1.0, Total Body Circuit, AB Intervals, and Lower Focus. Once you complete these, you may move on to the Beta Cycle. Here you’ll find the DVDs of Core Cardio, Speed 2.0, Rip and Circuit, Dynamic Core, and Upper Focus.


In addition to the DVDs and free gifts they have included tools that help you see results even quicker. One of these is the Quick Start Guide. This guide shows you how to achieve the best results by hitting the ground running. Pair it up with the Nutrition Guide. This has recipes for five meals each of the five days that are under five minutes to prepare. Use the Alpha Beta Workout Calendar as a tool to show which workout to do on each day.


The name Focus T25 says it all. You focus strictly on a hard workout for 25 minutes, five days a week to see results. The reason it works is simple. Workouts are fast paced and packed full of high intensity, dynamic moves. All are designed to produce maximum effectiveness while being efficient.

10 Minute Trainer Workout Review

A year ago I decided to join a gym with great expectations for a body transformation. I wanted to get in shape for my upcoming wedding. However, between my generally busy life and planning the wedding, I never found the time. I threw away money on a gym membership that I never used. I did try to stay in shape doing things on my own. I jumped rope in our courtyard and jogged. However, on rainy days or when the pollen count was too high. I could not do my workout outside. 


I knew I needed to exercise more and it was depressing me that I did not have a fitness regimen in place. My upcoming wedding was making me anxious and I was feeling disappointed that I was so out of shape. All my life I had been a gymnast but my body looked nothing like one before my wedding. I wanted my athletic, toned body back! I looked into some free exercise programs at my community center but they were mostly dance classes for seniors.
I needed something, but I couldn't motivate myself to exercise with geriatrics. Besides, Zumba type dance classes were not for me because I am completely uncoordinated. I knew right away I need another solution. I searched at local department stores and large bookstores for exercise DVDs. Some of them were way too expensive. They did not even come with a guarantee. What if I didn’t like them? I did not have a lot of time toworkout let alone search for a workout. On top of everything else, the moves in the DVDs looked difficult and I did not have a lot of space in my apartment for the big jumps and intense movements. I needed an exercise regimen that would give me results without taking up a lot of my time. I had no time to waste; the wedding was in six months.

One day I saw an infomercial for Tony Horton's 10 Minute Trainer Workout. I wasn’t sure at first. Really? Only 10 minutes? That sounded to good. I could do that before work. Is that really all it takes? I wondered. The infomercial seemed legit, but I decided to read some reviews and ask friends. I heard nothing but great things. The price for everything the workout included was really good. I felt reassured nothing that there was a 60 day money back guarantee. The Beach Body company sounded familiar to me. Their other programs had created success stories for some of my coworkers. I could not wait any longer. I ordered the 10 Minute Trainer. It came very quickly.

Pros:
  • The workouts are easy to follow. No tricky moves!
  • It came with six Free gifts
  • Excellent customer service
  • Incredible value at a great price.
  • I looked fantastic for my wedding.
  • Money back guarantee

Cons:
  • Other guys started proposing to me because I looked so good.
  • Choosing which DVD to do each day was difficult because I loved them all.

Along with exercises, the 10 Minute Trainer came with recipes. They were easy and delicious. My fiancé loved them! He was eating better and getting in shape now too. I was a good influence on him. The program came with a nutrition plan and workout cards that I followed very closely all the way until my wedding day. I actually did a 10 minute workout the morning of my wedding! I was in love with working out. It was a great stress reliever, actually.


Never in my life had I enjoyed working out so much. The 10 Minute Trainer was so detailed that I felt like I had my very own trainer but without spending a fortune. Best of all, I could workout any time. My work schedule was crazy so it would have been hard to fit long workouts in. But with a obligation of only 10 minutes, I could always squeeze in the time to workout. The workouts helped relieve some stress of the upcoming wedding. I needed something for me to relax– all that family in one place! 

After doing the 10 Minute Trainer most days a week, I noticed I was much leaner. I also looked and felt stronger. I actually had to get my wedding dress tailored one last time about a week before the wedding. I love the 10 Minute Trainer so much that I even brought it with us on our honeymoon. It was perfect to do in the hotel. It just feels so good to be healthy. The 10 Minute Trainer is sold on the Beachbody website. There are three types of packages that can be purchased. When I was first starting out, I bought the Base kit but now I've moved up to the Complete Workout.


The 10 Minute Trainer is great for a lot of reasons, but one of my favorite things about this exercise program is that the workouts are realistic to follow. I never had to starve or drastically diet and 10 minutes actually meant 10 minutes of exercise. I never felt like I was going to get hurt doing the exercise. Don’t get me wrong, I definitely felt sore! But it was a good sore. I knew I was working hard and it felt good. I saw results quickly and in less time than I ever would have at the gym.


I love 10 Minute Trainer and tell all my friends to try it. After all, I’m a walking advertisement for how well it works.

PackIt Freezable Lunch Bag Review

Designed to keep food contents cold for longer periods of time, the PackIt freezable lunch bag boasts that it keeps contents cold for up to 10 hours. The cooler keeps food cold thanks to a patented eco-gel which is a part of the liner. The bag itself is actually stored in the freezer, so no ice or gel packs are required.

Click Here for PackIt's Limited Time Best Deal

Pros:
  • Easy to use and pack lunch without extra cooling packs
  • Keeps food cold
  • Available in many trendy designs so you can pack your lunch fashionably
Cons:
  • Doesn't keep food cold as long as states
  • Heavier than other lunch bags

A fairly new and interesting concept in the world of lunch bags, the PackIt freezable lunch bag makes packing your lunch convenient because you don't have to worry about packing ice packs or gel packs. Instead, the cooling packs are built right into the bag itself. The bag also boasts that it keeps food cold for longer periods of time than other lunch bags, with foods staying cold for up to 10 hours. The PackIt bag also folds up when it is empty for easy storage until it is ready to be used again. The bag is also good for the environment because it is PVC/lead free, non-toxic and safe for the earth. Even better, the bag encourages reuse instead of plastic or throw away lunch bags and can easily be cleaned by washing it by hand.

With a huge selection of colors and patterns available, this lunch bag has a style that can fit anyone's personal taste and style. Several trendy patterns including small and large polka dots, geometric designs and even robots are available. Bright, vivid colors like red, aqua and poppy are available. For a classic look, you can also order the bag in black or grey. With the simplistic, contemporary design and the great fabric styles, this bag will have you looking good with little to no effort.

The main advantage of using this bag is that it's easy to pack and you don't have to worry about remembering ice or gel packs. Plus, when you're done using it you can fold it up again for compact storage until you need to use it again. This is nice because after I've used this for lunch at work, I can fold it up and stick it right in my purse to take home. I don't have to worry about forgetting my lunch bag at work like I often do, and it isn't yet another bag I have to lug out of work with me at the end of the day. The bag is also really to clean if I get any spills in it.


To clean it, I usually just wipe it with a damp rag right after finishing up the dishes at night. This keeps the bag clean and fresh. Being able to store the bag right in the freezer is also nice, especially if you take a lot of frozen leftovers or entrees to work with you. I pack my lunch at night and store it in the freezer. In the morning, all I have to do is grab the lunch bag when I'm on my way out the door. With other lunch bags, I'd often forgo taking my lunch because I didn't have time to pack everything in the morning before leaving, and I couldn't store the entire bag in the freezer overnight.

The main drawback of this bag is that it does not keep food cold for as long as it claims. If I'm not keeping the bag in the freezer during the day, I can store food in int for about four hours and it's still cold. However, it doesn't keep food cold much longer than that, and many reviewers of the bag say that if left for 10 hours, the food inside is room temperature. The bag is great for taking lunch to work. Even if you don't have access to a freezer at work, the bag is still probably good use for keeping food cold at your desk for about four hours. However, if you're hoping to keep food cold fora longer period of time and don't have access to a freezer or refrigerator, this may not be the bag for you.


The other main drawback of this bag is that it's a bit heavier than other lunch bags. Since the cooler part of the bag it built into the bag itself, it isn't as lightweight as other lunch bags. Given the added convenience of not having to carry an ice pack or gel pack, this isn't a big deal for me. This is something to keep in mind when considering whether you should purchase this bag, however.

The PackIt freezable lunch bag is available for $19.99 plus $11.90 for shipping and handling. Right now, customers who purchase PackIt directly from the manufacturer's website can receive a free 30 day healthy lunch planner and a second PackIt for free with an additional $4.95 for shipping and handling.
