Review: myScentEssence
When I received my Scent Lamp, I was surprised with the physical appearance of the unit. This is the unit that I received:
I have to say that this picture does not do the unit justice at all. It is SOOO much cuter in person!! The light comes through each of those squares in just a perfefct way!
In this picture you can see the size of the individual pieces (I put 25 small pieces out of one small container into the warmer.)
The next time I used it, I turned it on to a lower light setting and it released a more subtle fragrance. I would recommend this setting more because on the highest setting the light is pretty bright, too bright to have in direct sight. If you put it away from direct sight though, the highest setting is the most effective for filling a full room with wonderful fragrance! Another amazing part of these is that the scents last a REALLY long time. I have added pieces of the wax since I first got it but it is still going strong! Personally, I don't have this on all the time but I use it when people are coming over (FOR SURE! I've received many compliments on how amazing our place smells) and when I need a little pick me up of freshness. I can't tell you how long the scent would last if you have it on 24/7, but I can tell you that even if you just turn it on and off not only will the fragrance last in the room, but the wax will still be smelling wonderful after many uses! I think that this is really one of the most cost efficient air freshners I have ever used!
And....myScentEssence is Safe!! I love that it doesn't have a flame involved. If you have small children I would keep them away from it still though because the wax does melt. The hot wax could be harmful to a small child but this is still a MUCH safer alternative to candles. I like that it's not a spray either. I always worry about the chemicals that are being released into the air with a spray that my family is then subjected to breathing in.
The fragrances myScentEssence offers are very extensive and amazing! I was given several fragrances to try and my favorite was the RainShowers (a close second was Waterfalls). If you like the "Fresh" scent of air freshners than you will love this one!!
In order to try out the scents I would recommend that you purchase the 2 oz container for only $4.50!!! Then when you find the one that is PERFECT for your home go ahead and purchase the 10 oz tub for only $14.50! This will last you a LONG time!
OVERALL:
I would definitely recommend this to anyone!! Really!! I can't get over how much I love this product! I will DEFINITELY be purchasing refills for MANY years to come!!!*I received the warmer as a winner on a giveaway and was given additional scents from the company as part of this review. I was not compensated for this review and all opinions are my own.

CLOSED: Pillsbury Sweet Moments Review and Giveaway
I had the amazing opportunity to review Pillsbury Sweet Moments! I could choose between the Bite Size or the Molten Lava Brownies and I chose the Bite Size.
These are absolutely delicious!
They are better than any candy or brownie or cookie or cake that I have EVER had!
They are truly fantastic!! If you are a chocolate lover...I would HIGHLY recommend these!!!
For me, I would eat them during that little time when I first come home from work and nobody else is there yet and I can sit back and relax. This is a really limited time, so the Pillsbury Sweet Moments were absolutely perfect because they are already made and Ready to Eat in their refrigerated bag!!
On top of them being the best store bought desert I have ever had...they are from a trusted brand, Pillsbury. We have used Pillsbury rolls, crescents, etc. for so many years and I know that I am always going to get the same high quality product. It is nice to have consistency in food products (ESPECIALLY when they taste as good as Pillsbury Sweet Moments).
BUY IT:
Personally, I think that the bag is worth EVERY penny!! If you compare the price of the bag to the purchase price of a candy bar that you would replace it with (you would have to buy multiple candy bars) the bag turns into a steal of a deal! So, when you go to your local grocery store and are looking in the refrigerated baked goods check these out because if you are a chocolate lover like me...you'll love them!
WIN IT:
The amazing people over at My Blog Spark are allowing me to host a fantastic giveaway!! They are going to give one of my readers the same prize pack that I received.
This giveaway will end on October 7th at 11:59 pm CST. The winner will be contacted via the e-mail address provided in the comments and will have 48 hours to respond before another winner is chosen.
*I received the package pictured above from Pillsbury which included the free product, information, and prize pack. This was done by Pillsbury through MyBlogSpark.

CLOSED: STRIDE Everyday Panty Review and Giveaway
Ladies!!
This giveaway is for you! Finally someone has come out and talked about something that many women are embarrassed to talk about, the light leaks that happen throughout the day. Whether it is because of a hearty laugh, because you are pregnant, age, or exercise...it's happened to almost all of us at least once. These panties ensure that regardless of those leaks that you are covered!
The founder of STRIDE Everyday Panty, Wendy Spencer, has come up with the Oquous technology with a built in liner that Wicks Away moisture, Absorbs Moisture, Doedorizes moisture, and best of all...Keeps you Dry!
Being a woman, she also understands the importance of physical appeal. Instead of most practical items that are limited to a boring selection, there are various styles and colors to choose from!!
This product has been such a success that it is even being featured in SHAPE magazine!!!
This product has been such a success that it is even being featured in SHAPE magazine!!!
While using this product, it really does work! I absolutely loved it and plan on purchasing some more in the future. The only drawback to this product is that they are said to last "100 washes". It depends on what you are used to purchasing. If you are used to purchasing individual panties than the price and value of this is PERFECT for you! If you are used to purchasing panties in packs at stores such as Target, then the price of these are a little steep. If you have an issue with little leaks, these may still be perfect for you, you'll just have to expand your panty budget a little.
As far as being comfortable...they are great!!! I would recommend these to people who have issues with problems such as slight bladder leakage and people who are willing to pay a little extra for a high quality product.
PURCHASE IT:
STRIDE even has a questionnaire on their website to help you in selecting the correct pair! To receive a special discount type in FRUGAL2 when you check out. This will give you FREE shipping on purchases $30 and up. This coupon code is good until November 30th!! They are also available at these stores.

Wilton Cupcakes N' More 38 Ct Dessert Stand Review
I LOVE THIS DESSERT STAND!!!
This is my little creation using the
At first, I thought of it as a cupcake stand, but oh was I wrong!! There are so many uses for this stand!! In the picture above, I used a mini muffin pan for bite size and portion control brownies. I have used this stand for brownies, rice krispies, fruit, muffins, and cupcakes!!! At first I thought that I would use this for entertainment purposes only but I have had it for 3 weeks now and EVERY week I have made something to put on it!
One problem that we have is..."Out of Site, Out of Mind". This is often a problem in many households which causes food to go bad without being consumed in time. When I made muffins two weeks ago, I left them on the stand and everyone remembered to grab one for breakfast on their way out!
I would HIGHLY recommend this cupcake stand to ANYONE!!
An amazing feature about Wilton.com is that they provide various ideas for you for purposes of the item that you purchase. This Cupcakes N' More 38 Ct Dessert Stand had numerous ideas and I have included pictures of two of them.
I have not "Entertained" with this stand yet, but I cannot wait to! I have told numerous people at work about this product because I absolutely LOVE it! Everyone who has stopped by and seen the stand has complimented us on it (even my boyfriend's brothers!!!) Based on your decorating expertise, you can make this a centerpiece for a birthday party instead of a cake and so forth. My mom actually has the Cupcakes N' More 23 Count Standard Dessert Stand and we have already discussed combining them and using them for future events such as birthday parties for the nieces and nephew!
*I received this cupcake stand free of charge from Wilton in exchange for this review. No other compensation was given.

A little about Wind Warrior:
Wind Warrior ~ The Iroquois Series ~ Book One
Leslie Michaels is a visionary, and only those close to her know of her special gift and the visions that come when her mind and body surrender to sleep. Fate has a way of righting many wrongs, and for Leslie it is a destiny that changes her life dramatically. But not before she is forced to flee into the wilderness to escape a murderous trapper bent on claiming her for his very own. Faith and a strong will to survive are her only companions, until she encounters Winnokin, the handsome Seneca war chief who first came to her in her dreams. Not only does he prove to be her rescuer and protector, he teaches her that tragedy can breed happiness and the passion to live and love deeply once again.
Wind Warrior plunges readers into the intimate depths of a relationship that unfolds like a live drama before their eyes while painting an insightful and intriguing portrait of Native Indian life in the 1800s. It is a story of longing, of a wanton need to survive all odds, and a love so strong it conquers human evil. Wind Warrior expresses with cunning words the simple, raw human emotions that hold readers spellbound and captivates their hearts.
On Sale

CLOSED: Fantasy Jewelry Box Review and Giveaway
I was so excited to be able to host a review and giveaway for Fantasy Jewelry Box. They have such a large selection of affordable jewelry. Fantasy Jewelry Box has such a perfect name because it is exactly that...Fantasy Jewelry. You can find all that jewelry that you drool over and think, "I'll never be able to afford that." Well...with their cubic zirconium stones that imitate the classic look of a diamond, you CAN afford it! In addition to their fine imitation diamond jewelry, they also have fashion jewelry.
The organization and design of the Fantasy Jewelry Box website is great for searching for that perfect, affordable jewelry!
If you are looking for a specific color...you can do that.
If you are looking for a certain price range...you can do that.
If you are looking for a certain category...you can do that.
On top of those search options they also have the traditional search options such as rings, bracelets, earrings, and of course the Sale & Clearance tab!!
About a year ago I broke a necklace to a necklace/earring set that my sister gave me when I was the maid of honor in her wedding. I was so sad when it broke both because of the sentimental value behind it and because it was my only nice jewelry set that I had. I would wear that set for every wedding, funeral, graduation, dinner party...pretty much anytime that I needed a classic "Diamond" jewelry. Since then I haven't found a set that I really liked that was within a reasonable price range. Until NOW!!!
When browsing through the Fantasy Jewelry Box website I came across this gorgeous
Alina's Designer Style Floating CZ Solitaire Set.
I chose to do my review on this product and was so happy to see it when it came in. The pendant is setting on a dainty yet strong chain which is definitely what I was hoping for. This set is so classy and it is appropriate for more than just those "Dress Up" events, but can also be worn with a jeans outfit. The best part of this SET is that it was less than $50 for the whole set!
The wonderful people over at Fantasy Jewelry Box has been kind enough to to offer one of my readers an item of their choice under $35! To enter into this giveaway, you can complete any of the following Extra Entries, but the Mandatory Entry must be performed.
Mandatory Entry:
1. Follow my blog on Google Friend Connect. (1 entry)

CSN Stores Review- Hamilton Beach Toaster!!!
A TOASTER!!!
It's an item that many of you have in your kitchens.
There is a wide range of toasters that a person is able to purchase. They can go from the $5.99 at your local store to the $400 and up for the deluxe toasters.
Regardless of what you are looking for, CSNstores.com has the range of toasters that you are looking for. I would say that they average price of a toaster is $25-$40 and you can expect these to last a while. CSNStores.com had Many toasters in this price range!
You can choose from white, black, chrome or 2 vs. 4 slices and More options from CSNstores.com.
When I was selecting a toaster, I wanted:
- 2 slice toaster in order to conserve counter space
- wide slots to be able to toast slices of homemade bread
- Chrome color (because my blender that I wrote about in my Cuisinart Blender Review is chrome)
- Reputable name brand
That's how I came to select the Hamilton Beach Classic Chrome 2-Slice Toaster.
I love this toaster!!
It toasts evenly, it has a bread crumb tray (you don't have to flip it upside down to get out the crumbs), it has a Variety of settings for the perfect setting of toasting.
I'm sure many of y'all know that with chrome comes the problem of cleaning it. The blender was the first chrome small appliance I had ever bought and it never got dirty! To stay consistent with colors in my kitchen I went with a chrome toaster. This one, sadly, does get dirty. It is fairly easy to clean, but it is not maintenance free which I usually look for in appliances. The easier they are the more I like them. This is the cost that comes with chrome though, and I am willing to do it.
The toaster looks super sleek and I love it in my kitchen!
Overall, I would give this toaster a 4.5 out of 5 and CSN Stores a 5 out of 5!!
I just loved shopping their wide selection of toasters and found exactly what I was looking for!
The next time your toaster goes out and you are considering buying a new one...go to CSNstores.com to browse their selection.
I KNOW that you will find one that is well suited for your family, in both function and design, and it will most likely be the best price you can find!!
* I received this product from CSNstores.com in order to host this review.

ArmPocket Sport 20 Review- Perfect For Workouts!
ARMPOCKET SPORT 20 is designed to allow hands-free carrying system in which you can hold an iPhone, iPod, MP3, cell phone, ID, keys, and even energy gels or bars! It has 20 cubic inches of storage capacity but it not just open. It has two slots for ID cards and a touch-through screen for iPhone, iPod, and other touch-sensitive smart phones. This screen is also good for other phones so that you can see who is calling. Designed for phones or other items that are important to you such as an iPod, it has a slot to put your phone in against the touch screen so it is not movin around in there as well. Personally, I have a blackberry which is smaller than the iPhone and the elastic band still held it in place well so that its weight did not shift while I was running.
This is designed for any situation that you might need your hands to be free such as the gym, biking, running, shopping, or even traveling! It's also convenient to carry your stuff even if it is not on your arm.
I often go to the gym and have my phone and locker key out with me on the machines and this made it much easier to carry it around with me from machine to machine. Everything is in one small container so I did not have to worry about picking up several items.
One big issue is that these items often get saturated with sweat, the ARMPOCKET is made out of Water Resistant Recycled Plastic (PET) fibers- Not only is this Eco-friendly, but it is also moisture resistant! This prevents any moisture from reaching your valuables inside of the ARMPOCKET.
It also has an Ultra-Soft vented strap so that you are able to wear it for extended periods of time. The company also says that their Bamboo Rayon Fabric is naturally moisture-wicking and resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew. I have not had this product long enough for mold or mildew to aquire, but the claim that this is resistant to that sounds great to me!!
- High-Visibility reflective piping for added safety

Orbit Gum Review
The NEW (Hit Store Shelves in April 2010) Orbit package designs are really neat! They are all Retro and a lot more stylish than any other gum package I have seen. For me personally, the gum package usually sits in my purse and is not visible to anyone except for when I am getting out my gum. I think these stylish designs are much more important to people who keep a pack of gum out on their desk at work or even kids in high school.
There are 36 Retro-forward pack designs available in all of your favorite Orbit Gum Flavors.
Orbit Gum has flavors such as Peppermint, Spearmint, Wintermint, Sweet Mint, Bubblemint, Maui Melon Mint, Citrusmint, Strawberry Mint, Lime Melon, and Pina Colada! It gets better...Orbit gum is Sugar-Free!!
Personally, I did not think that the flavor of this gum lasted as long as other gums I have tried in the past. I love the packaging and think this is a great idea and is very trendy, but ultimately, it is the length that the flavor lasts which will keep me buying it. The flavor really is great and the wide assortment allows any taste preference in gum to be satisified!! The length that the flavor is strong, is just a little less than I would like.
Overall, if you are looking for a gum that will last an hour, I would have to say that you should keep looking.
But, if you are looking for a gum for a quick chew with awesome flavor AND packaging then I would recommend this gum! If you are looking for a gum that will last an hour, I would have to say that you should keep looking.

It really has kept my coffee warm throughout the trip and hasn't burnt my tongue when I first put it in! It's always a guessing game to know when your coffee is going to be that perfect temperature, but with BRUGO mug, there is no more guessing! You just tip it into top part and Ta-da!! Perfect temperature!!

There are so many different colors to choose from too!!
I would recommend this to any coffee lover!!

Each mug is $19.95 but if you buy 2 you can get them for only $14.95. This would be a great gift for any coffee lover or 2 for you so that you never have to go a morning without it!
