Random Review Tuesday 3/30: Guest Post

Time is tight, let’s face it. So when a product promises me the world, you know I have to try it out. Today’s guinea pig: Clean & Clear’s Morning Burst In-Shower facial.

The Claim: The Morning Burst In-Shower facial claims to provide a citrus-scented, invigorating, deep cleansing treatment that will refresh your skin in the shower after just one minute. One minute? In the shower? Sign me up.

How it Works: The steam from your shower (assuming there is any warm water left for you after your entire family has bathed) allows the facial’s ingredients to clean deep down to your pores and wash away dirt, oil and other icky stuff.

Key Ingredients:

·    Glycolic Acid (an Alpha-Hydroxy Acid) to promote cell turnover
·    Micro-beads to help exfoliate dead surface skin
·    Clay to draw out the dirt and oil from pores
·    Moisturizers to hydrate
·    Vitamin C and Ginseng to revive skin’s appearance

Price and Availability: $5.49 – $6.49 for a 5oz. tube, available online, in drug stores and at major retailers nationwide

Final Verdict: How about “WOW!”? Really, for the price, this stuff is a fantastic buy. The incredible scent alone is enough to get you moving, but the soft, smooth skin you’re left with is really where it’s at. So, if you’re not one of the fortunate few who can head to a facialist once a month or spend unlimited dollars on prescription skin care, this is definitely a great choice for you.

Suzanne Jessee's "Me Time, Positive Day – Peaceful Night" CD Review and Giveaway

Suzanne Jessee's "Me Time, Positive Day – Peaceful Night" CD


I have two children and I have no idea any longer what me time is.  IS it those few moments in the shower or while rushing to get that last swallow of coffee before I dash off in the morning? What I have noticed since having children is that my precious time often involves them... than when it is bed time my head never stops running.

Me Time, Positive Day-Peaceful Night, worked great as that wind down at night as I was falling asleep. I will be honest it would make me so relaxed more times then not I did not listen to the whole cd. This is great! I would wake up refreshed and with a greater alert.

Track One is to help you start your day Positively and Track Two will help you relax and fall asleep in no time. Track 3 is peaceful music and can be played anytime throughout the day to help you relax. It is a great tool for "Mommy Time-Outs!"

Buy It: You can purchase Me Time, Positive Day – Peaceful Night and other great products on Suzanne Jessee's website.

WIN IT: One Lucky reader will win a Me Time, Positive Day - Peaceful Night Cd of their own .

Mamavation Monday: Week ONE

Watch Lives Change

Okay so I have joined a group of women who are all on the same page. We are all mom's trying to lose weight together. I have struggled since I was out of High School with my weight. I went from my heaviest, when I was married to my first husband, which was 300 plus pounds. After we divorced I decided I was going to focus on myself and get back into shape. I lost right around 100 pounds and now I am stuck! So every Monday I will be writing a Mamavation post and hope some of my readers will join me.

Current Stats:


Weight: 222
Height:  5'8
BMI:    33.8

Current Goals:

SHORT TERM~
  • Drink 80 ounces of water a day
  • Work out on the Wii Fit for 15 minutes daily
  • Don't eat after 7 pm
LONG TERM~ 
  • Weigh 150 pounds
  • No soda drinking
  • Work out 60 min daily 
  • BMI 22.8

Want to know more about being apart of Mamavation? Head over here and read all about it. I have applied to be a Mamavation mom as well! If you want to support me head over here to see my application. You can also tweet "Hey @bookieboo! I want @all_about_savin to be the next #Mamavation Mom. She has my support!"

While your at it check out Earth Foot Wear. They are one of the many sponsors of Mamavation. I would love to own this pair.

Watch Lives Change





Mamavation™ is a social experiment and weight loss campaign in social media with the goals of teaching moms healthy living lifestyle choices so they can share with their family. Mamavation™ is a two part campaign: (1) a virtual healthy living boot camp for two moms and (2) the home of the first virtual healthy living sorority in social media, the Sistahood™ . As a healthy living bootcamp, Mamavation™ is an opportunity for two moms (Mamavation™ Moms) to change their lives together by entering into a 7 week healthy living boot camp created to give them the tools they need to succeed. The will receive a professional nutritional plan created by a physician that specializes in nutrition, Dr. Renna, and a fitness program created by Tracey Mallett. They will also receive a treadmill from Smooth Fitness, Earth Footwear, an EA SPORTS Active, Tracey Mallett and Tae Bo DVDs. The program is managed by @bookieboo, with the goal of teaching moms how to live life better. The Mamavation™ campaign plans to give them the tools they need to succeed, in hopes that they will create a healthy lifestyle for themselves and their families.

The campaign will unfold on Bookieboo  where the Mamavation™  moms will keep a daily food/exercise journal. They will appear on Mingle Media TV Network every Monday at 7pm PST/10pm EST as well. The Mamavation™ Moms will also be expected to post about their Mamavation experience on their own blogs every week and be available on twitter to talk about their experiences and inspire everyone. In addition, they will do a vlog every week chronicling their journey losing weight. The purpose behind all this "work" is to INSPIRE others. The Mamavation™  Moms are challenged with losing weight and learning healthy living and inspiring other moms to do the same.

How will the moms be chosen? Good question. The Mamavation™ Moms will come from Twitter. Applications are being accepted March 22nd to April 1st. Then 5 moms will be chosen as finalists and will go up for a vote for a week. And the people will choose who the moms are. Voting will commence from April 5th to the 12th. Each of the five moms will have to ignite their own campaigns to get votes. The Mamavation™ Moms (2) will be announced on April 12th with a twitter party. (Use the hashtag #mamavation.) We hope you will support us by posting our banners on your site. Mamavation™ campaign #4 will go from April 13th to May 28th.

During the campaign, we would love to have your support. Tweet the Mamavation™ Moms with encouragement. Let them know you support them as they go through this process. It's going to be the beginning of a new life for them, so they will need all the love and support they can get. Join the Sistahood™ ! The first virtual healthy living sorority in social media. Support other moms as you are learning healthy living or yourself and your family. You can also come join us on Mamavation TV every Monday night at 7pm PST/10pm EST.

Mamavation™ was created, owned and operated by Bookieboo LLC. The campaign accepts monetary compensation for product placement, sponsorships, and advertisement. Bookieboo LLC has an affiliate relationship with PeteCohen.tv. Mamavation™ is trademarked & copyrighted, 2010.

Curious Chef Giveaway and Review

I was recently given the chance to review Curious Chef. I love getting Aaron involved in the kitchen but I am often so worried he will hurt himself.

I contacted Curious Chef and they sent me the 15 Piece Pizza Party Set.
I decided to invite over some kids I know and throw my son a pizza party. What better way to test something out then to have a bunch a 3 and 4 year olds give it a shot. We bought pizza dough and cut out heart shapes. (Curious Chef carries cookie cutters that could be used for this) The each got to cut yummy red and yellow bell peppers. I of course ate those right away; like candy.. yummm! The Kids had a blast making their own pizzas and I had a blast knowing they were safe.
