Discover the LG OLED TV this Holiday Season from Best Buy

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

Since I've moved, I have loved the whole concept of a technology driven theater room with the basement we have.  I'm ready for the whole nine yards of an amazing entertainment experience.  With the holiday season starting, I've started my Christmas 2014 wish list on Pinterest and Best Buy is right there with the entertainment options for everyone in my family from movies to games to even a brand new TV as we need one!  I've been researching the best one to purchase and so far the LG OLED TV is catching my eye for many reasons to include:

• Infinite contrast ratio and stunning color that will deliver the ultimate picture quality with a a greater sense of realism and depth to include enhanced color range and accuracy.  
• LG's exclusive 4 Color Pixel technology delivers bright, vibrant colors that makes you think you are at the theater.
• The curved screen really provides a look of "wow" to any surroundings!
• The super thin design, 0.21" thick at it's thinnest point, is perfect for not taking up a lot of space and is lighter weight than our ancient 50".
• Another great feature is the intuitive webOS™Smart TV interface that will allow us to find content quicker without long delays.  The one touch app button is brilliant as I can't even find the features on our other "smart TV" which is beyond frustrating!
• $500 savings (no coupon required) of Best Buy’s everyday price of $3499.99.

Whatever is on your list, check out and discover LG OLED TV – The Ultimate Display now by visiting Best Buy in person or online.  I was sold as soon as I went to the website and saw the set up!  For all the techie wizards, this is a must have and of course, the kids will love it!

Goodbye Winter. Hello Spring! The Lunar New Year 2015

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

The new year is rapidly approaching and with that comes lots of excitement for a new year to many, means new chances at new things and changes.  The new year is no exception across cultures and some of the most fun events for the new year come from the Chinese.  The upcoming Lunar New Year is a big celebration for Asians around the world to include the Asian-Americans in our own country.  The Lunar New Year celebrates the end of winter and the arrival of spring and is actually one of the more important celebrations among Asians.  The Lunar New Year is based on the phases of the moon and will fall on February 19, 2015 according to the Gregorian calendar.  Many think it's tied to January 1st but it is not!  As part of their continued support to the many different cultures their workers and customers represent, Best Buy is releasing an Asian inspired gift card and e-gift card for purchase through February 22, 2015.

The Asian inspired gift cards look really nice and would look wonderful under your Christmas tree or even as a birthday gift.  There are a variety of denominations to choose for as well.  Year's ago, I had a Chinese themed party for my oldest which was a huge hint.  The decor and celebrations from the Chinese are extraordinary to me.  I love the rich reds, yellow and golds.  My favorite restaurant is a Chinese restaurant as the food is superb but the decor is simply beautiful.  I love the look of these new Best Buy cards!

$40 Amazon, Target or Walmart Gift Card Giveaway - 11/23/14

Have you heard of products that helps make your brain think clearer and quicker?  There are many new products out there and the latest one is Provagen.  I've been taking it for about a week so it's a bit too early to report my findings.  Stay tuned for an update on my results.

As we age, we lose proteins that support our brain.* Prevagen® supplements these proteins during the natural process of aging.* Prevagen® (apoaequorin) is clinically shown to help with mild memory problems associated with aging.*
Only Prevagen contains the patented ingredient apoaequorin, a unique protein originally obtained from a specific species of jellyfish called Aequorea victoria found in the Puget Sound. Apoaequorin is a protein our brains need for healthy function but is diminished in the aging process.

Have you ever taken a brain supplement?  Ever heard of Provagen?  Here is a chance to win a $40 Amazon gift card to try it out yourself if you like.  It's ideal also with Christmas approaching!

Alpha Grillers Garlic Press and Peeler Set Review

I enjoy cooking and prefer using fresh ingredients as I think it tastes better and I can control what I use such as organic food.  Even though I have not made the all out switch to organic and non-GMO foods, I am trying and doing what I can to eliminate especially the GMO foods.  When I cook, I feel satisfied knowing I'm giving my children something better and not something full of artificial colors or flavorings, no GMO products and no preservatives.  I also love to use spices when I cook and my three favorites I turn to are salt, pepper and garlic.  Garlic has health benefits but I think it just adds so much value to a meal especially when using fresh garlic.  The Alpha Grillers Garlic Press and Peeler is ideal for my family.  I've never had a press like this and can say I love it!

As you can see from the picture above, it arrives in a nice box making it a great gift as well!  Christmas is coming so might as well start thinking about the cook in your life!  It's a premium solid stainless steel press that minces unpeeled cloves with ease as the peel stays in and the garlic is presented in perfect form.  For those that have trouble with their hands or wrists, it's ergonomically designed for easy squeezing so again, a perfect gift idea!  If you use ginger a lot, it's perfect for that too although I did not try it out.  The silicone garlic peeler is easy to use and it keeps your hands from getting that stinky garlic smell that my girls hate.  You can see by the picture below how easy it is to use:

As a bonus, it also arrives with a bonus e-Book of 50 delicious recipes using crushed and sliced garlic.  Some of the other aspects I liked about the press are:

• No leakage of garlic running down the press
• A hinged chamber so I don't have to track down both pieces after cleaning and storing
• Perfectly shaped garlic
• 100% money back guarantee

Look at how perfect that is!  The peel stayed put and only the garlic comes out in perfect shape to ensure a beautiful tasty dish.  I've always wanted a garlic press that works and the Alpha Grillers Garlic Press is spot on!

 I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Adorable Baby Clothing Gift Card Giveaway 10/29 - Value $65 - International

Do you remember going through some of your old pictures as a child and wondering what your mom was thinking dressing you in those outfits?  I know my daughter gives me a hard time when she looks at some of mine.  I remember going through some of mine and really not getting those horizontal striped shirts matched with tiny checkered pants but we wear what's in style for the most part.  As styles evolve, there are just some styles that remain timeless.  Those timeless styles are the ones that can become heirloom outfits to pass down to your children and their children.  After going through some of my oldest child's clothing and realizing none were fit to hand down as quality wasn't as good as it is now mostly because I was a struggling college student having to purchase clothing from discount stores.  They were also horribly dated and no longer viewed as cute.  When my two younger ones came along, I paid more attention to the special occasion clothing I was purchasing as I wanted to give them something that I didn't have.  I wanted to give them a part of me to give to their children which were special occasion clothing.  This is where I found Adorable Baby Clothing.

My Family Picture

Adorable Baby Clothing has the most beautiful clothing choices for boys and girls and they aren't just for babies!  The clothing is high quality and the customer service is exceptional.  I know many people are tempted by the reduced prices on sample sites that appear to offer the same product at a much lower cost but what I have found on the sample sites are:

1. You never know when you might receive your order.
2. You never know if your order will be cancelled.
3. You don't know the quality until you receive it.
4. There isn't a return policy so you are stuck with what you have.

To date, every single dress I have ordered, which has been many, are of amazing quality.  Mine have been multi-layered dressing that adds beautiful dimension to each dress.  They don't wrinkle either!  It's amazing as the dresses arrive in a package that you would think would cause wrinkles but with some fluffing of the hands, it poofs out to provide this elegant, timeless, picture perfect dress!  I am going to be a grandmother to a boy so at last, I will get to try out one of the gorgeous suits...or many!    Not only are you getting amazing quality with the clothing from Adorable Baby Clothing, but you get outstanding customer service as this is a business ran by a single woman who strives to ensure her customers are happy as if they aren't happy, she's not.  She will accept returns and you will receive your order on time and not weeks later. There really isn't anything I can say negative and I have been a customer since 2008.

Here are just some of the dresses I have purchased over the years:
