Nature's Sleep Memory Foam Slippers Review and Giveaway

I am excited to tell you about the latest product that I had the privilege to review! 

I received a pair of Nature's Sleep Memory Foam slippers in the color sand for review.

First, here is a little about the Nature’s Sleep Memory Foam Closed Toe Slippers (from their website): 

Plush comfort and luxury with every step. Indoors or out, these closed-toe slippers offer the perfect balance of softness and support in thanks to the visco-elastic memory foam inner sole, which cradles and contours to your feet while absorbing pressure and impact. 

Upper/inner sole 80% cotton/20% polyester; lining 100% polyester; thermoplastic rubber bottom. 

I want to start by saying that I am not a “shoe girl”. I don’t have 400 pairs of shoes that match each and every outfit that I own. I just don’t. If I had it my way, I would always be barefoot. But obviously, that is not always possible, nor is it the best idea! On a typical day, as soon as I get home, my shoes come off immediately and I am either barefoot or in socks the rest of the day. Normally, I wouldn't put on slippers at all unless it was to walk to the dog or go to the mailbox. 

Now that I have the Nature’s Sleep Memory Foam Slippers, I honest to goodness can not wait to put them on when I get home, and I don’t take them off until I go to bed! My husband even made a comment about it the other day… He asked if I was hiding something on my feet by constantly wearing slippers now! I had to laugh out loud at that one. I told him that they really were just THAT comfortable.

 The memory foam is soft and conforms perfectly to my feet. The best part for me is that somehow, they do not ever make my feet feel hot! I have never owned a pair of slippers that didn't make me feel like my feet were in an oven after wearing them for any length of time. These slippers keep my feet warm, but never hot. I don’t know how they made slippers that keep your feet at the perfect temperature, but I am certainly glad that they did! 

I would highly recommend Nature’s Sleep Memory Foam Slipper to anyone! They are truly the best slippers I have ever worn. You can purchase your own slippers at Nature's Sleep online store.

WIN IT! One lucky reader will win their own pair of Nature's Sleep Memory Foam Slippers!

Shake It Up: I < 3 Dance Review

The stars of Disney Channel’s hit television series “Shake It Up,” Bella Thorne and Zendaya (currently seen on ABC’s "Dancing with the Stars" and is one of the youngest contestants to compete), kick off the all-new Shake It Up: I < 3 soundtrack, from Walt Disney Records.


The collection of 12 dance tracks is featured on the third season of the hit show.


Shake It Up: I < 3 Dance features songs by Bella and Zendaya as well as fellow Disney stars Selena Gomez, Bridgit Mendler, Roshon Fegan andCaroline Sunshine, in addition to up-and-coming stars Coco Jones, McClain Sisters and more. The Shake It Up: I < 3 Dance soundtrack is currently available for $9.99 on both iTunes and Amazon.com.

"Shake It Up" is the #1 live-action TV series in its time period among Kids 2-11 and Kids 6-11. The show chronicles the adventures of best friends CeCe (Bella Thorne) and Rocky (Zendaya), whose dreams of becoming professional dancers are realized when they land roles as background dancers on the most popular teen dance show, "Shake It Up, Chicago!"


My son is a huge fan of Shake It Up and was very excited to get this CD! We have been listening to it in the car and I have become a fan myself! The songs are fun to dance to, and don't contain any lyrics that I don't want my son to listen to. My son's favorite is "Beat of My Drum", which I also like!


I would recommend this CD to anyone with children who like Shake It Up, or who just like to dance!

Sleep Innovations Gel Memory Foam Pillow Review

Sleep is something that is very important to me. I mean, it is a very important thing for everyone, but it is something that I value more than your average person. When someone asks me to go somewhere or do something, I actually I actually take into consideration how much sleep I might miss if I choose to go. 

I know that sounds kind of crazy, but I truly believe that is because I spent so many years not getting nearly enough sleep. I know that I can't actually "catch up" for the years of lost sleep, but I can certainly make up for it now!

One of the most important things that I have found that help me get a restful night of sleep is a good pillow. The right pillow can work wonders if you aren't sleeping well! My old pillow was starting to cause me to toss and turn, so I was so excited to have the opportunity to try a new pillow from Sleep Innovations! 

I received the Gel Memory Foam Classic Pillow from Sleep Innovations to review. 

Here is a little more about the pillow (from the website:)

This Sleep Innovations pillow is a dream come true.Gel memory foam on one side and premium memory foam on the other lets you choose the right amount of support for your head and neck. This classically-shaped bed pillow is perfect for back, side and stomach sleepers. In white.

Gel memory foam enhances air flow, keeping heat away from your head and neck.

Premium memory foam cradles your head for optimal support.

Removable cover ensures easy care.

I truly love this pillow! It has just enough support that I don't feel like my head is sinking in, and the memory foam keeps keeps the pillow cool and comfortable all night. I wake up feeling well rested and ready to start the day! 

I would highly recommend this or any Sleep Innovations pillow to anyone! They have many to choose from so there is sure to be one to suit your needs. Be sure to check them out at www.sleepinnovations.com!

Umi Shoes Review and Giveaway

I am so glad that Spring is finally here! Even though it hasn't felt like Spring in my neck of the woods the last few days, my fingers are crossed that warmer temperatures will be coming soon.

My family got a taste of Spring a little early this year by heading down to Florida and visiting Disney World earlier this month. It was definitely nice to visit a warmer climate for a week and spend every day outdoors enjoying the sunshine!

While in Disney World, one thing that definitely took a beating were our shoes! It felt like we walked hundreds of miles during the 8 days that we were there! Fortunately for my son, he had just received a new pair of shoes from Umi from their Spring line, so he was ready to go!

Cooper received the Shane in black and grey from Umi and he loves them. There was no "wear in" period, with blisters or discomfort. From day one he loved his shoes. And considering the amount of walking he did in them every day, that's saying a lot!

Here is a little about the Shane (from their website):

Shane has the sleek styling of a European athletic shoe but is made for any tough-on-their-feet big boy and girl. With light weight construction for making tracks in serious comfort. Removable, machine washable anti-bacterial footbed keeps feet fresh. Play, wash, repeat!

I really love how cute these shoes are, how comfortable my son says they are, and how easy they are to care for! I would highly recommend these shoes!

You can purchase you own pair of children's shoes at www.umishoes.com.

One lucky winner will receive a $60 gift certificate to Umi Shoes!!

Mylight Review

 

My husband and I find ourselves on a constant search for the right night light. My son is not a fan of the dark and bed time can be a lengthy routine if there is not just enough light to assure him that he is safe in his room.

 

I am so excited to tell you about Mylight. Mylight is a family owned and run business that makes handcrafted, personalized light boxes that are tailor made just for you! I created a light box just for Cooper's room and I have to say, it is my favorite thing in his room!

 

He has a pirate themed room with a pirate ship bed and all black furniture, so I chose a dark light box that would blend in. The interior light is an LED strip that changes colors, so it looks really awesome in his room and most importantly, really lights it up at night!

 

 

Here is a little about Mylights (from their website):

Mylights are manufactured exclusively in South Australia, and are constructed of an aluminium composite casing which is router cut with your chosen names or words, font and colours.

From start to finish, each Mylight is individually handcrafted, and special attention is paid to the quality of workmanship.

The interior light is an LED strip specifically selected for its energy efficiency. LED lights have a working life of 50 000 hours, which not only makes it great value, but makes Mylight friendly to the environment as well.

 

 

As I mentioned before, we really love our Mylight. My son loves how it lights up his room. He also thinks it is really cool that his name changes colors! I love how the Mylight adds to the décor of the room. My husband is already planning on ordering his own Mylight for the "Man Cave" that he is planning on making for himself when we move!

 

Overall, Mylights are extremely high quality products and I would recommend them to anyone. I was excited when I placed the order, but I really had no idea that I would love this product as much as I do. I definitely recommend that you try them for yourself! You will not be sorry that you did!

Empower Fitness Review

 

Many of us started new work routines at the beginning of the year. I know I definitely have been trying to make my work outs more challenging than last year. And my muscles are definitely feeling it.

 

It always feels great to get a good work out in, but sometimes, your muscles need a little rest and relaxation. That's why I was so excited to try the R&R by Empower Fitness.

 

My muscles always get really sore after a difficult work out, so I always like to incorporate something more relaxing on my in-between days, like yoga and stretching. Lately I have been using the R&R and I absolutely love it!

 

 

 

Here is a little about the R&R (from their website):

Enjoy the benefits of a massage therapist at home or on the go with this compact and convenient massage roller. Restore your mind and body by relieving muscle stiffness, taming tension and improving flexibility. This stress relief system includes an inside compartment for storage that holds your stretching strap to alleviate tight muscles and stress ball to squeeze away the tension of the day.

Our self-massage & stretching program will rejuvenate you. The illustrated guide takes you through a series of movements where you use the pressure of your body to roll out pain, improve circulation and stretch muscles. Reach areas of your body you cannot get on your own. R&R has all your tension-tackling tools in one convenient package!

 

The R&R contains a specially designed roller with durable PVC core and cushioned foam cover, palm sized foam massage ball, stretching strap with foot loop and a workout guide that has 13  exercises that you can try using your R&R tools. It is the ultimate relaxation kit!

 

I love using the roller to massage the knots out of my muscles. It works really well on the stiffness in my neck. I have noticed a big difference since I began using it! I also enjoy using the stretching strap and the massage ball. All of these tools uses together make up a really relaxing and rejuvenating workout!

 

I would highly recommend the R&R from Empower Fitness to anyone! It works great to relieve muscle stiffness and improve flexibility. Be sure and check out all of the other great items Empower Fitness has to offer as well while you are there!

UNREAL Candy Review

UNREAL candy is candy with a conscience. Unlike most manufacturers, UNREAL candy does not add junk like hydrogenated fat and corn syrup to their candy. They follow a different mantra: "Unjunk junk food"! In UNREAL candies you will find 30% less sugar, 20% less calories, 60% more protein and 250% more fiber per serving than the leading competing brands. 

I received three coupons to try out three varieties of UNREAL candy for myself. I chose the UNREAL 54 (candy coated chocolates with peanuts), UNREAL 41 (candy coated chocolates), and UNREAL 77 (peanut butter cups). I found all of these at my local CVS store. 

I was really pleased with the taste of all three of these treats! If I had to choose a favorite, I would choose the peanut butter cups, only because I love all things peanut butter! All three had great flavor and if I wouldn't have know any differently, I would have thought these candies were just as bad for as the other brands on the market because they all tasted just as good! 

I would highly recommend UNREAL candy to anyone! All three varieties that I tasted were great, and I love the fact that they are actually better for you than the other brands on the market. I definitely suggest that you give them a try!
