Philips Norelco Body Groomer Review & Giveaway 9/8 - US


It's pretty standard in our society that women spend time and money grooming their body hairs.  We wax, shave, pluck and use hair removal products to remove unsightly hair.  It's as common as any other grooming habit we have.  What is not talked about as much is the man side of what is called manscaping.  Men are grooming their body hair more and more yet there isn't as much attention given to them.  I think a lot has to do with stereotyping of men who do remove body hair but those days are gone.  It's normal for men to want to be clean and free of hair and whereas some men might not want to partake in laser hair removal given the permanent effect of it, body grooming allows a man to change with the times.  Fads and fashions are always changing and what might be cool now might not be later so having the ability to control body hair is something of a personal choice.  Men have more choices as well with their products with a growing market of available ones.  Philips Norelco who is known for their facial shavers also has body grooming products specifically created for the body.




Body groomers are created to provide that level of comfort and convenience below the neck.  Philips Norelco has three types of body groomers that help men achieve the results they want.  From a hypo-allergenic 3D pivoting head that allows a close shave with less irritation to the all in one design.  The five integrated length settings provides an easy trim without needing loads of attachments and provides the perfect trim.  The other beauty is it can be used in or out of the shower which is a huge benefit for those hairy fellows so they don't get hair all over the floor and counter.  This is a must have for any man.  My husband tried this out and being part Italian, you can imagine how he needs a product like this.  He is used to using regular store bought shavers so this was heaven sent to him.  When he came home and saw it, he proclaimed how I get all the cool stuff.  After a little teasing and taunting, I did confess it was his.  He liked the convenience of being able to take it to the shower, the dual ends to trim as he pleases and the contour of the groomer made it easy to hold.  Overall, it's a win!  

The Giveaway:

One of my readers will have a chance to win their very own Philips Norelco Bodygroom Pro which retails at $69.99.

Back to School with General Mills, Target & Crayola® Prize Pack Giveaway 9/8


All the excitement with back to school activities is probably most felt during school supply shopping.  I know my girls love getting their new school supplies especially when it comes to Crayola®.  We are a Crayola® house and even purchase them for our non-profit's gift bags that we deliver to local hospitals for children.  I also use them in our homeschooling activities such as creating road trip binders.  Using dry erase crayons is perfect in reusing the sheets.  Not only are we Crayola® fans but we are also a General Mills cereal family.  The General Mills line of cereal is proof in our pantry with two rows of just their cereal.  My oldest is a Toaster Strudel fan (shhh....I am too!) and we also love Nature Valley Crunch Granola Bars.  My youngest calls them 'gorilla bars.' As part of my participation in this great promotion, I received my prize pack and immediately went to Target to check out what was on sale and to spend my complimentary gift card.

I visit Target at least once a week given their one stop shopping experience.  I even have all my girls' prescriptions sent there to ease my to do list.  While I was at Target, I checked out the Crayola® supplies and of course I had to pick up more cereal and I did get a box of the Honey and Oats Nature Valley Granola Bars.  They are the perfect breakfast on the go and with the easy to eat two bar packs, I choose how many calories I want.  You can visit www.GrocerySavvy.com for coupons, recipes and a special 2012 "Grocery Savvy Crayola® Back to School" sweepstakes.  You could win one of the 700 Crayola® 8-count Washable Dry Erase Crayons or one of 20 Crayola® Dry Erase Activity Centers Zany Play Edition.

What's Your Style?


What's your style?  Are you casual?  Conservative?  Daring? A Fashionista?  I'm probably a bit of casual and conservative especially when it comes to my work attire.  I've enjoyed paying attention to the latest fashions but I am not one to rush out and buy the latest and greatest expensive purses.  I will pay for boots as I love boots!  I also like a good suit or dress and don't mind spending a bit more for that.  With school back in and the seasons changing, it's time to relook at my wardrobe to figure out what is new and what I don't have.

I also have the luxury of clothes shopping for my grandchild and my other three kids which is always fun.  They are not fashionistas yet but I'm hoping to get them pulled over in time.  My 24 year old is who I share my likes and dislikes with and I consult with her before I purchase anything.  I was trying to find her a cute dress which is where I found the cute dress on top in black and champaign.  It would look adorable on her and she actually liked it.  My favorite is the navy dress on the far bottom left.  I also like the price too!

What's your style?  Do you shop online or in person when you buy your clothes?

The HP Techy Ready Student & $25 Walmart Gift Card Giveaway - US - 8/31

I'm still amazed that summer is over and it's back to school time already.  The summers seemed to fly by when I was younger especially the older I became.  Now it seems that I blink my eyes and a month has passed.  Getting ready for school was always a favorite time for me but when I was growing up, the necessities were basic school supplies and clothing.  We didn't have all the cool gadgets and technology that they have now.  Those modern technologies have become the equivalent of what pencils and paper demanded.  All my children have a computer, printer and plenty of ink throughout the school year.  This year, it's time to look at getting a new replacement laptop.  I always check out Walmart first as it's where I purchased my last desktop. The HP Midnight Black Pavilion DV-6-7029wm Laptop PC looks perfect for what we want.

Some of the features that draw me to the DV-6 notebook aside from having great memory, include:
  • SuperMulti DVD burner
  • Wireless LAN
  • HD TrueVision webcam
  • Up to six hours of battery life
  • Windows 7
  • Windows Starter
  • Norton Internet Security
  • HP Recovery Manager
  • Beats Audio amplified with quad speakers 
I don't have enough printers for the computers we have in our house and my youngest one has been begging for one.  The HP Deskjet 3052a e-All-In-One Printer looks like a great choice. I thought my current printer had a scan feature but I found out I was wrong.  I definitely need to get a new one.  Given the amount of devices we have, this is ideal since it is wireless, we can print from our smartphone or tablet virtually from anywhere.  This includes being out of the home!  If your child is at school, he can send a photo or assignment directly to the printer and it will be waiting for him when he arrives home by simply sending an e-mail.  Now that is really cool!  If you have a college bound student, what better way then to surprise him or her on any day with a special message or picture delivered right to their dorm room.


 


Back to school supplies also means printer ink.  For me, running out of ink or getting low on ink is almost the equivalent of running out of toilet paper.  It's a must have in our house especially when you have three younger ones and a college student.  Since I'm looking at the HP Printer, I have to stock up on the HP XL Ink Cartridges. These cartridges fit in the printers just like the normal cartridges and you save up to 40% in printing and we all are looking to pinch pennies.

I have the clothing bought, the school supplies and now I just have to head out to Walmart to pick up the technology and I know my children will have no objections!  Are you done shopping or are you in the market for a super cool new HP laptop and/or printer?  As a way to help you get ready, you can enter to win a $25 Walmart gift card!
