Udderly Smooth


Made in the USA for over thirty years, Udderly Smooth® products contain rich moisturizing ingredients. Not your average moisturizing lotion- Udderly Smooth® can be used on Dry Skin, Cracked Skin, for Diabetes Foot Care, as a Facial Moisturizer, as a General Moisturizing Lotion and many other uses. (from website) to read more info click here


I was given the opportunity to review a few products from Udderly Smooth. What they sent me were Udderly Smooth Foot Cream,  Udder CreamMoisturizing Lotion for review.

I must say that I am impressed with the texture of these products. It reduces dryness & roughness of my skin especially the foot cream. The smell has a nice calming scent and the feeling is smooth & creamy. I used it right after I got out of the shower & I saw the immediate results because my skin is usually dry & cracked (on my elbows), but when I came out and used these products dramatically my skin felt moisturized and soft. These products are especially good in winter time because a lot of people suffer from cracked skin in the winter time due to the cold, but these udderly smooth products are specifically made to moisten the skin to reduce the cracks & the dryness.


I just want to say that I absolutely love the foot cream because I frequently have dry feet in the winter, and at night I put lotion on my feet and then sleep with socks on the entire night. In the morning my feet were so incredibly soft and moisturized, but it doesn't last but a day or two. This cream really keeps my feet looking fantastic. It doesn't have a greasy residue either & it rubs in well. I am glad the jar is quite a decent size because it will last me awhile :)


The Udder Cream is helpful too. It's good for keeping your hands, legs, elbows & ankles and any other part of your body moisturized. The cream comes in a pump & is easy to dispense. It rubs in smoothly and is non greasy as well. It does do a great job of keeping my dry skin at bay and moisturized for a few days which is really nice.

Teething Bling


Launched in 2002, Smart Mom LLC is a truly unique company. Staffed entirely by Moms, we don’t outsource anything. From product development to fulfillment, it’s all handled in our Maryland offices. That means if you have a question or concern, you will reach one of us. And because we’re all Moms, we understand what it’s like to have little ones underfoot. That’s why we make it so easy for you to contact us – email, Facebook, tweet, blog or call, we’ll answer right away. And we don’t mind crying babies in the background!

Both stay-at-home Moms, we first met when our daughters were about a year old and taking a class together. We thought we might make a good business team someday; Kendra had the ideas, Amy the marketing experience. We were also interested in creating a company that would provide meaningful work opportunities for other Moms while also making charitable giving a top priority. (from website) to read more click here



I was able to review a product for Teething Bling. I was given the Triangle Pendant. These are a really cool/neat a good idea for babies because they love to chew on anything they can get there hands on despite giving them something for just that purpose they want your jewelry. Teething Bling Jewelry solves that problem in a very attractive manner for nearly every style. I can't tell you how many times my son or my siblings when they were a baby always grabbed on things that we were wearing such as earrings, necklaces, anything really they could get there hands on like I mentioned above. With this new teething product I think it's a great way for the babies to chew on there own jewelry instead of destroying our jewelry. The necklaces also come with break away clasps to prevent that it from breaking or your baby from getting hurt should they accidentally put the necklace on. I wish I had this when my son was growing up.

Pros:: Lead & phthalate free silicone, Safe for babies to chew on.

Cons:: Limited Designs

Description::
They currently have seven colors with more in the works.
There are necklaces, bangle bracelets, and key chains.
You can get the necklace in a doughnut or heart shaped. Though more shapes are in their line later this year.

Retailed at $19.99


They even have Tween Bling that are even scented which is pretty cool if you would like to visit & look around click here

I was so estactic to try & see what this could do. My original flat iron didn't really work as good, so I wanted to see the difference & let me tell you this product works wonders! It is totally different! I just love that the KQC X-Heat Flat Iron has an on/off switch & a temperature control that ranges from 140 degrees all the way up to 410 degrees. I used this flat iron on the highest because my hair is natural curly. It heated up pretty fast to about 8 minutes. Not to bad than most others.  They even gave me this KQC Thermal Shine Spray which really worked great when I applied it during I was straighten her hair it left it feeling so soft. When my friend Ashley did her hair she even said that she loved the Thermal Shine Spray because her hair looked great afterwards she said it felt so silky/smooth.

Doesn't this look so TASTY!!!! YES it does!!!!

I was given the opportunity to pick out 5 different products from Tasty Bite & I choose  Spinach Channa, Mushroom Takatak, Garlic Brown Rice, Tofu Corn Masala & Kerala Vegetables to review. All of these products have an authentic Indian flavor. Especially the Kerale Vegetables I had made some chicken & rice & poured the Kerale Vegetables over top the rice & let me tell you that flavor was a-m-a-z-i-n-g I loved the texture of the rice mixed with the sauce & vegetables. I would say that, that was my favorite along with the Tofu Corn Masala. I haven't tried the others yet, but I can't wait to try the Mushroom Takatak one because I am a huge mushroom fan.

Argie became certified as a fitness instructor at The University of California, Los Angles and began applying yoga principles and postures to athletic training programs......read more about Pulse Yoga here



So I was given the opportunity to receive 4 DVDs from Pulse Yoga. Me & my friend are trying to loose weight and we were so happy to get these DVDs & we never had tried Yoga before so this was a first experience for us. The DVDs are 60-minutes long. So far I love Yoga & I think it is such a great way to get lean muscles & it's so easy to do in the comfort of your own home. Pulse Yoga takes Yoga to the next level using weights & following the instructions movements you are lead through a great workout. I really enjoyed these videos & I have to say you can definitely feel the workout the next day. Pulse Yoga videos are great because each video has two instructors that while they are doing the same exercises they are doing them at different levels so you can do what is most comfortable for you. I enjoy doing these videos they each last an hour except the Express Yoga which is a quick 30-minute workout. They are a lot of fun and i honestly feel that I have more energy now that I have been working out with Pulse Yoga.


A basic yoga routine that introduces the Pulse concept of micro movements within a posture. Key areas such as abdominal, lower back and gluteus muscles are targeted. Alternating right/left pulse movements with free weights define and sculpt the upper body.

Balance in motion are emphasized here by connecting standing balancing postures in order to master control over the body in any position. Efficient simultaneous movements of free weights tone the upper body.

Build stamina and strength through more intense use of free weights. Inner thigh stretching and strengthening, hip flexibility and toning of the gluteus muscles is emphasized.

Only have 30 minutes? You can pack a lot of “Pulse” into that short time. A condensed routine that addresses major workout needs.

Fandangling

I invented Fandangling quite by accident. It all started with our daughter Lia. When she was born we were seeking ways to keep her happy and interested in her room. When I put the first Fandangling on the fan in her room, her eyes lit up and the rest, as they say, is history.
I quickly realized that Fandangling was great for babies – my Mom friends all love it. As Lia grew older and more people came in contact with Fandangling, it became clear that Fandangling wasn't just for babies. 
Read more about Fandangling click here



I was able to pick something out to review from Fandangling & I picked out the Underwater Adventure-Pink to review.  It's not all about babies they have kid's stuff to. I wanted to get my sister this because she loves Dolphins & I think it's pretty cool because it came in Pink that's our favorite color.  The kit contains 5 animals, fan attachment supplies, and instructions. The kit's very easy to put together, basically you wipe off any dirt that's on your fan blades, put some velcro down, and stick the animals on! How easy is that! Once you turn the fan on (LOW speed), it'll be transformed into a room sized mobile, but that's if you want it for your baby, but we didn't put the fan on because we just liked how it looked above on the fan.

(from website)


I like to get beauty products & it's a definite plus if it's something that massages as well. The thing that I like most about this product is that it comes with 6 different pieces. It takes 2AA batteries (not included) and once you put the batteries in the Slimming Toner Massager you have 2 different settings to choose from "Low or High". The messager vibrates the most when you put the setting on high, which isn't a very hard vibration if you ask me. When I tried it on low there wasn't any vibration at all, but when it was on high it still relaxed my face, so I recommend the setting at "high"....
