Welcome to the Spoil Your Family Summer Giveaway Event being hosted by Annette from Annette Funnyjello and myself. Today’s second sponsor is Good to be You. Be sure to visit Annette’s blog for a chance to win a similar giveaway from Good to be You’s sister site, Sparkle Plenty.

If you’re a long time reader of my blog, then you know that I’ve worked with both Good to be You and Sparkle Plenty. I was definitely happy with my review items in the past. It was a no brainer when I was given a second chance to review for one of them again.

We at GoodToBeYou.Com are dedicated to providing you with an enjoyable shopping experience in a chic, fun & friendly atmosphere. We offer high quality gifts, unique accessories and delicious spa, bath & beauty products, all at affordable prices. We take great pride in providing informative tips, articles and resources to nurture your mind and spirit, as well as your body. So treat yourself to some well-deserved pampering that lets you delight in knowing it’s good to be you.

I received the Cake “Plane Friendly” Travel Kit to review this time around. Here’s a brief description of this product:

Great for gifting unto others or gifting to yourself, this plane friendly travel kit will come in handy – even at home (great for guests!)

We want to make it easy for travellers, like you, to follow the new product travel regulations. So we developed the ultimate travel kit – we never want to separate a girl from her CAKE!

We’ve packed in five perfect travel companions just for you:

1.”It’s A Slice’ Supremely Rich Bath and Shower Froth
2. “It’s a Slice” Supremely Rich Body Mousse Cake girls say that it smells like an orange creamsicle
3. “Desserted Island” Supremely Rich Bath and Shower Froth
4. “Desserted Island” Supreme Body Mousse Cake girls say that it smells like whipped vanilla icing with a pinch of coconut cream
5. “Milk Made” Velveteen Hand Creme Cake girls say that it smells like whipped vanilla milkshake

So, buckle up and indulge.

I’m a huge fan of the last three items since vanilla and coconut are flavors I absolutely love to smell at all times…taste too but that’s another story. I’m not a huge fan of the orange creamsicle items but my best friend always orders orange creamsicle daiquiris so I plan on giving those to her as a belated little extra birthday/maid of honor present. I’m sure she will love it! They automatically made me think of her.

Giveaway: One lucky reader will win their own Cake “Plane Friendly” Travel Kit.

Welcome to the Spoil Your Family Summer Giveaway Event being hosted by Annette from Annette Funnyjello and myself. Our first sponsor for today is 191 Unlimited. Be sure to visit Annette’s blog for a second chance to win the same prize being offered here.

191 Unlimited was founded in 2002 with $191 and a dream. Long time best friends Parth Sharma and Girish Karnani took $191 to the casino and turned it into enough money to launch their first 191 Unlimited collection. The two college grads then loaded the samples into their car and went on a 2 month trek from NY to LA and back, stopping in as many cities as possible to show their line to specialty stores.

The founders had 4 original principles by which they wanted each shirt to be made: 1) Awesome Fit, 2) Extreme Comfort, 3) Innovative Detailing, and 4) Affordability. 191 Unlimited still employs these 4 core principles in the making of all of its products.

We received four shirts from 191 Unlimited. Three of them, Ben loves and has worn quite a few times. The other one hangs in the closet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I like it but Ben doesn’t. He even has a similar shirt in different colors that he wears as an over shirt…but for some odd reason he doesn’t like the shirt below. I used a picture of the kids version because that’s all I could find.

Ben’s two favorite shirts he received are called Anarchy and Right Place. They are both very stylish and make him look so handsome. I wish he had more clothes like the ones we received from 191 Unlimited.

I also love that they have matching shirts for young boys. I can’t wait to purchase one of the shirts Ben received for Leland so they can be “twins”.

Giveaway: One lucky reader will win three 191 Unlimited shirts (chosen by the sponsor, you choose the size).

Required Entry: Tell me one item you like from the 191 Unlimited website.

Welcome to the Spoil Your Family Summer Giveaway Event being hosted by Annette from Annette Funnyjello and myself. Today’s second sponsor (which is all about spoiling our pets) is Clean + Green by SeaYu. Be sure to visit Annette’s blog for a second chance to win the same prize being offered here.

CLEAN+GREEN® is the only eco-friendly aerosol pet odor remover and pet stain remover product on the planet! Our line of eco friendly, green cleaning products are made from organic and biodegradable ingredients and packaged so you can recycle the container – now you can clean green! For green pet cleaning, use effective, non toxic, organic home cleaning supplies and keep an environmentally friendly home – with pets.

We tried two of their products for cat smells and stains. We tried the Cat Urine Odor and Stain Remover Clean+Green for Carpet and Upholstery and the one for Wood and Tile.

We get tons of use out of the Wood and Tile one since most of our townhouse is hard floor. Only our bedrooms and stairs have carpets…and then there are the occasional couch messes to clean up.

The best thing about these products is that they really do get rid of pets stains. However, I do not like the way it gets rid of pet smells and odors. It seems to cover it with another not so nice odor. So while it does work, we usually spray a random Febreze product over it.

Giveaway: One lucky reader will win two Clean + Green SeaYu products of their choice.

Required Entry: Tell me something you learned from the Clean + Green by SeaYu website.

Welcome to the Spoil Your Family Summer Giveaway Event being hosted by Annette from Annette Funnyjello and myself. Today’s sponsors are all about spoiling our pets. Our first sponsor is ScoopFree. Be sure to visit Annette’s blog for a second chance to win the same prize being offered here.

Now that you’ve read Annette’s review on the ScoopFree Ultra Self-Cleaning Litter Box. Oh, you haven’t yet? Check it out here.

Ok…now that we’ve got that out of the way, let me tell you how this product worked for our family. Let me start by saying that we have two cats, Zoe and Jasmine and they are both indoor cats and both use the litter box many times throughout the day. Let me just say that this litter box is perfect for our fur babies.

ScoopFree® is the self-cleaning litter box you can leave alone for weeks at a time. It is the only self-cleaning litter box that uses disposable litter trays to provide hands-off convenience and unbeatable odor control.

ScoopFree Ultra offers 3 additional features for the ultimate in cat care: A privacy hood, an adjustable rake delay, and a health counter.

Watch the video below for a better idea of how this amazing litter box works. It’s super cool. I love technology these days!

While the prices for trays seems expensive, you’re actually saving money because you don’t need to change the litter box as often. We can go up to 15 days without changing the litter box tray. If you only have one cat (especially an indoor/outdoor cat like Annette), you could save unimaginable amounts of money by switching. It may seem like a lot of money to invest up front…but for us it’s been worth it.

My favorite features of this litter box is for one, the privacy hood. My girls don’t have to show us their business while their doing theirs. It’s a considerate addition. I also love the smell of the tray refills, very fresh. And of course, being able to choose how long the system rakes the litter box after the girls go to the bathroom is also a big plus for us!

Giveaway: One reader will win their own ScoopFree Ultra Self-Cleaning Litter Box (ARV $179.95).

Required Entry: Tell me something you learned from the ScoopFree website.

Welcome to the Spoil Your Family Summer Giveaway Event being hosted by Annette from Annette Funnyjello and myself. Today’s sponsor is Delta Faucet. Be sure to visit Annette’s blog for another chance to win the same prize being offered here. Make sure you read her review too. I am in love with the kitchen faucet she received.

“At Delta® faucet, we believe that there are better ways to experience water. This conviction goes beyond excellent design to incorporate smart thinking that anticipates people’s needs. Our technologies include MagnaTite® magnetic docking spray wands that stay in place, to Touch20® Technology faucets turned on or off with just a touch making life easier when hands are messy, to DIAMOND™ Seal Technology valves that help the faucet last up to 5 million uses-Delta® faucets incorporate thoughtful features that delight the customer. When paired with beautiful, inspirational design, it’s easy to understand why Delta® is more than just a faucet.”

I received the Dryden Two Handle Widespread Lavatory Faucet in Chrome (photographed above), which retails for just over $300. This beautiful faucet replaced one of the ugliest and oldest faucets I’ve ever seen. It was gold and had nasty wooden and gold handles. I despise gold to begin with but this faucet was a huge eye sore.

* The clean, geometric lines of the Dryden™ line are reminiscent of the Art Deco period of the 1920′s and 30′s
* The Dryden collection offers a full complement of coordinating products to create the perfect look.
* Two handle operation for better control
* Features water efficient aerator
* Available in chrome, Aged Pewter, Brilliance® Stainless or Venetian Bronze®
* Lifetime Faucet and Finish Warranty

Overall, this faucet is affordable for it’s beautiful and modern design. It wasn’t a difficult faucet for my husband to install. And it works great! I love my new faucet. Most importantly, did I mention its gorgeous? I’m so glad we were able to replace that old piece of junk faucet.

Delta also offers kitchen faucets, like the one Annette reviewed, which I have been drooling over. They also sell some shower heads that look amazing!

Giveaway: One reader will win the faucet of their choice priced up to $300.

Required Entry: Tell me an item you would like to own from the Delta Faucet website.

Welcome to the Spoil Your Family Summer Giveaway Event being hosted by Annette from Annette Funnyjello and myself. Today’s sponsor is Hard Candy. Be sure to visit Annette’s blog for a chance to win the same prize being offered here.

I’ve seen Hard Candy cosmetics around for years, but I can’t recall ever using any of the products until now. I think I’m really rough with cosmetics (or my two year old is) because everything I received from the company has wound up broken in one way or another…except for the nail polish I received.

I received the Just Nails with Ring nail polish in the color Splendid (a cute, summery yellow shade). My favorite thing about this nail polish is that it comes with a matching plastic fashion ring. A picture of me wearing the ring is below.

I also received the Blush Crush Baked Blush in Honeymoon. I love the name of this shade. It reminds me of a song I love called Honey & the Moon. Most people would just be reminded of the vacation newlyweds have after their wedding. Unfortunately, this blush is crumbled in its palette and makes a mess every time I open it now. Thankfully, I can still use it. It just provides a light pink very subtle shimmer for your cheeks.

Lastly, I received a great eyeliner from Hard Candy. It is a Take Me Out Glitter Eye Liner in a dark green shade called Money. While I don’t have a reason to wear green eyeliner very often, it is a fun color to use and really shows off my green eyes.

Giveaway: Four lucky readers will win a Hard Candy prize package that includes:

* Mouthing Off-Au Natural
* Eye for an Eye-Java
* Curl Up & Dye-Ink
* Just Nails-Hypnotic
* Kal-eye-descope- Ab Fab

Required Entry: Tell me an item you would like to own from the Hard Candy website.

Welcome to the Spoil Your Family Summer Giveaway Event being hosted by Annette from Annette Funnyjello and myself. Today’s sponsor is FAB Beauty. Be sure to visit Annette’s blog for another chance to win the same prize being offered here.

FAB Beauty is a line of cosmetics targeted towards pre-teen girls. Not being a pre-teen, nor having one, made it a bit difficult to review this line. I had flashbacks from 10 years ago (when I was a pre-teen) as soon as I received my review items.

I received a luxe nail kit, which included a few nail polishes, a nail file and diamonds for your nails. These days, I think this item may be a bit juvenile for pre-teens…but I think 4 to 7 year olds would enjoy it when they’re longing to be like mommy.

I also received a really cute Kiss Kiss lip gloss in Smooch. I know this is an item I would have loved as a pre-teen and still do actually. I loved things with lips on them when I was a kid, I had a lip shaped phone in my bedroom (a la DJ from Full House). The gloss itself gives just the right amount of shimmer and is comfortable to wear and put on. It doesn’t leave you feeling sticky and gross. It is definitely my favorite FAB Beauty product so far!

I unfortunately, no longer see this item on the Fab Beauty website, nor can I find it anywhere else. I hope they haven’t stopped making it because I would love to buy more. Here is a picture of me wearing the Smooch shade.

Lastly, I received a three pack of scented lip balms in Cherry Vanilla, Grape and Orange. Leland liked these more than I did. Every time he saw mommy put some on, he wanted some too. I think he liked all of the flavors, maybe it reminded him of juice. It made him really happy to wear mommy’s lip balm though.

Giveaway: Four readers will win a prize package from FAB Beauty:

* Destiny Body Glitter
* Bedazzled Glitter Set
* LOL Lip Gloss
* Juicy Lip Balm

Required Entry: Tell me an item you would like to own from the FAB Beauty website.

Welcome to the Spoil Your Family Summer Giveaway Event being hosted by Annette from Annette Funnyjello and myself. That’s right we’re back from our hiatus beginning tomorrow. Today, I’m catching up on a couple of posts, Annette has already shared with you guys. Today’s sponsor is Swimsuits for All.

When I first discovered Swimsuits for All, a company that specializes in Women’s Swimwear…I have to be honest, I wasn’t too impressed with the styles offered. They don’t offer many cute styles, I think most of them are geared towards older women.

What they do offer that is fantastic is Designer Plus Size Swimwear. It’s so difficult to find plus size swimsuits, much less plus size AND designer. Being a female on the cusp of the plus size and regular sizes, trust me I know!

I received a black two piece halter tankini swimsuit for review and I was thoroughly pleased. It has become my go to swimsuit for days when I feel fat or bloated and for swimming with big groups. This swimsuit’s black color is great for making me look minimized. It is also really comfortable. Tankinis are my favorite style of swimsuit and black is the best possible color to make me feel secure wearing it.

Giveaway: One reader will receive a one-time use $100 gift code for Swimsuits for All.

Required Entry: Tell me an item you would like to own from the Swimsuits for All website.

Welcome to the Spoil Your Family Summer Giveaway Event being hosted by Annette from Annette Funnyjello and myself. Today’s sponsor is ATG Stores. Be sure to visit Annette’s blog for a chance to DOUBLE your chances in this COMBINED giveaway.

ATGStores has over 500 websites where you can buy many different products, from furniture to tools. I had the opportunity to review an office chair and armoire desk by Innovex. The chair is already available on the Home Furniture Show Room website and the desk will be made available on the site soon.

The specific chair I received was the Innovex C1064L29 Bonded Leather Office Chair in Black. This chair is great and was very easy to assemble. My little boy loves to climb onto it and spin it around and around. The cats, unfortunately, love it too. This means there is normally cat hair on it.

The armoire computer desk is nice because it has doors on it to hide away my electronics, which is great during parties. My friends who don’t have computers have a tendency to log onto mine and when they’re drinking, it isn’t the greatest of combinations. In this aspect, out of sight and out of mind, is working out for us.

However, Innovex wanted this desk to be a cure for children getting into electronics and “out of sight, out of mind” doesn’t work for my son. He loves opening and closing doors and the doors on the desk are very entertaining to him. I wish this desk had a lock for the doors. That would be a great improvement especially considering the doors won’t even remain closed for more than one second.

My fiancé also said it was a major pain to put together. It took about two hours to assemble and some of the pieces fell apart as he was putting them together. There were scratches on the wood when it arrived and if I had purchased it, I would have returned it to get an unscratched product. Fortunately, those scratches aren’t visible since they are on the inside and top of the desk.

Imperfections on the inside of the desk

Overall, it looks like a nice piece of furniture and we have received compliments on it since we put it in our living room. It doesn’t look like a desk that would only sell for two hundred dollars, but during assembly you can see why it has the cheap price tag.

Welcome to the Spoil Your Family Summer Giveaway Event being hosted by Annette from Annette Funnyjello and myself. Today’s sponsor is Virgin Mobile. Be sure to visit Annette’s blog for another chance to win a similar prize being offered by Virgin Mobile.

Not all cell phone companies are alike. Here at Virgin Mobile, we believe happy customers stick around longer. We don’t believe in pushing one-size-fits-all, take-it-or-leave-it commitments on people. And it might be crazy-talk, but some of us don’t like to see our customers flushing their hard-earned money down the drain.

With Virgin Mobile, you only pay for what you want. So there’s no waste. No hassles. No flushing. Get Unlimited Messaging, Email, Data, and Web on our Beyond Talk plans. Plans start at only $25/month and there is no contract. Just choose your talk. That’s all there is to it. If things change, you’re free to switch it up.

So jump on board with Virgin Mobile and find what you’ve been looking for: great value without a contract, advanced 3G and touchscreen devices, and maybe even a little fun along the way.

I received the Blackberry Curve 8530 pre-paid cell phone for review. My fiance uses it more. We figure it will be a great option once his dad stops paying his cell phone bill after he graduates from college.

When we first received the phone, we had trouble with it. There were dropped calls on just about every call and I couldn’t get an app to download. After a phone call with customer service, everything was fixed and I could explore the phone and have fun with it.

The most impressive thing to me are Virgin Mobile’s prices from month to month. For only $25, we receive unlimited messaging, e-mail, web and data plus 300 minutes of talk time. This is 25% of what I pay for this with AT&T. I do, however, get more minutes.

I am planning on dropping AT&T when my contract is up and switching to Virgin. I will go with the $40 plan so I can have 1200 minutes of talk time each month. I will paying $60 less per month and receiving the same perks, so it seems like a wise choice. I wish I hadn’t been so skeptical of Virgin and pre-paid plans before I went with AT&T.

Giveaway: One reader will receive a Virgin Mobile Blackberry Curve 8530 of their own ($299.99 value).

Required Entry: Tell me something you learned from the Virgin Mobile website.
