TaoTronics Universal Windshield & Dashboard Car Mount



I love this windshield mount. I never realized how much one could make things easier. No more worrying about my phone being flung across the if I have to make a sharp turn. I can now have it or my ipod slipped safely into its grasp so I can listen to music, or more.

What I really love to do is use this along with the Hyperlapse app and record videos of various trips in the car. I know a little odd but I will find a use for them at some point.


I also use it to old my phone while I record a video so that I don't have to jump out of the car and try to set up a tripod somewhere. I can just sit back in the driver seat and turn on the camera.

Ice ball mold review


Ice ball mold review


Some probably will look at this and wonder why anyone would really care to have round ice. Well not only does it look cooler but it also melts slower and won't water down your drink as fast as traditional ice.

Pampers “News for Newborns” giveaway

Pampers “News for Newborns”

Having a newborn isn't always what people picture. I've heard friends talking about, 'Well when I have a kid...' and they think their child will sleep through the night, etc. They get home and realize their whole world is turned upside down. Newborns often sleep in the day and are up at night. They need to eat. A lot. Often. With that there are concerns. Are they eating enough? Too much? It isn't always easy to tell. I breastfeed both of my children so knowing the their 'intake' isn't measurable. I learned from others to tell by the 'output.' Meaning if they are getting enough they will have plenty of wet and poopy diapers. In those questions is also the concern if they are getting enough hindmilk and foremilk. Having other moms around that have been there is terrific. I'm glad for my friends and family. Another great acesset is the new Pampers Stool Color Cards and Diaper Rash Infographic. Moms can look at this to check Bowel Movement (BM) colors to make sure their newborn is doing okay. I love that moms can get it in hospitals and it is available in English and Spanish. pam 1

Diaper, babies and mommy. Am I doing it right?

This review was made possible by Double Duty Divas  and Pampers. I was provided product free of charge to facilitate my review, but all opinions are 100% mine.

Almost 3 weeks ago I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl and while she is not my first baby it feels like it . The last time I had a newborn in my arms (least one I gave birth to) was 15 years ago, my eldest daughter is 18 now and my son 15. While I remember my babies faces, weight, height, time of birth, eyes, hair color and the newborn basic care, there are so many things I dont remember. Like her siblings Catalina was born via C- Section and it took me a couple of hours to be completely functional to care for my princess.


I had a hard time breastfeeding, she was to lazy to latch and we decided to use a pump and feed her with bottles. Breastfeeding was my biggest fear and yet it was easily overcome. There are so many small things to remember with a baby like: umbilical cord care, sterilizing bottles, handling pacifiers, how to hold your baby, fever temperature, burping time, bathing time and so many others. However my biggest challenge (and my husband too) was diaper changing after 15 years I completely forgot about it and anything related. My biggest surprise was the colors...... when I saw her diaper and its contents, it was black; I have had dogs and cats more often than newborns around home and when my puppies poop black it means parvo-virus,since the stool has blood on it.


After seeing the color (black) I freak out, and since English is not my first language (is not even my third), I cant process any info given on English while I have a panic attack (I can barely process info  in Spanish either), so talking to the nurse  would have been a waste of time, I decided to make a long distance call to Bolivia to ask my sister, when she didn't answer I went online; reading English while having a panic attack is as hard as speaking  so I had to Google it in Spanish. I found the info and figured out black was ok the first couple of days. Three days later the diaper was neon green and again I thought it was not normal so I had to find more info. It seems black, green and yellow are ok for newborns.


While the stool color is a problem finding good diapers was never a big deal for us, my eldest were Pampers babies and so is my little one, of course we didn't have swaddlers back then, Pampers diapers fit great and are super absorbent The fact that Pampers website is available in Spanish and English gives the brand some extra points in my book. I live in Texas and there are so many Spanish Speakers (hispanohablantes) so it helps moms like me or moms who just do not speak English yet or are learning it and to feel more comfortable reading it in Spanish.I found this chart  extremely helpful and it might help other mommies who also speak Spanish:


Now with all those dirty diapers, avoiding a diaper rash is hard but not impossible I love the new Pamper Baby Wipes Sensitive with a touch of aloe vera, the  arenwipes gentle and soft perfect for your baby's sensitive skin

+LIFEGUARD MINI Review



This has saved my butt so many times in the short time I have had it. During my trip to Nashville I used this while on the road to keep my device charged up when the battery was getting low. I have a few portable batteries and I charge them all when I am going to be away from a power supply because you never know when you will need power.

When you hold it, it has some weight to it. Not so much that it is a burden but more that it is well made. 

Dimensions
Size (LWH): 3.8 inches, 1 inches, 0.9 inches
Weight: 3.36 ounces

Finger lickin Lacquer Call me Meg from the Family don't end with Blood Collection Swatch and Review

Finger lickin Lacquer Call me Meg from the Family don't end with Blood Collection Swatch and Review

Call me Meg is another polish from the Family don't end with blood collection by Finger Lickin' Lacquer. When I first swatched 3 form this collection I didn't understand the name of this collection, but now that I am up to season 7 I understand that this is a quote from Bobby.

You can see our other reviews from this collection below:

meg from supernatural

Call me Meg is another holo (I just adore them so much!!!!) This is a aqua holo that smells like cucumber melon. I admit when I first ordered this polish I almost got it without the scent as I have never been a fan of anything cucumber melon. Then I said eh I might as well get the whole experience out of it. Man am I glad I decided to get this scented because it smells amazing! for 3 out of 5 of my co workers who I had sniff this it was their favorite out of the ones I had. As I get further into scented polish from FFL I find it hard to even decide which are my favorite because I love them all so much.

Bed Rest Zebra Print. Sleeping Partners Review.

I've had a couple of bed rest or reading pillows before and I always find something to complain about: it was too heavy, too soft, too hard, too big, too small so after 4 or 5 tries I'll be back to stack my  goose feather pillow in my back and read or watch tv, right now am 36 week pregnant in bed rest and while I'min my bed for long periods of time, I can't sleep 24/7 finally found my self in need to a bed rest pillow. While working with a company on a different item to review I was offered the opportunity to review their Bed Rest Zebra Print. The main company Sleeping Partners sent me one for review purposes and it  was actually heaven sent.
Bed Rest Zebra Print. Sleeping Partners Review.

Bed Rest Zebra Print. Sleeping Partners Review.

After 2 weeks using the Bed Rest I had no clue how I never stumbled upon something similar, this pillow is lightweight and the top handle allows you to bring it with you from room to room. I drag the poor thing with me everywhere, the bed, the couch, the office, if am going to spend more than 15 minutes in that room the Zebra comes with me. The pillow back and sides is 100% micro fiber polyester and the front is  a Sherpa alike texture polyester.

Bed Rest Zebra Print. Sleeping Partners Review.

Bed Rest Zebra Print. Sleeping Partners Review.

The Bed Rest and the arm sides are soft, comfortable and warm and yet is provides enough back support, it comes in 3 different designs  cowhide, cheetah and zebra, the animal print gives the pillow a modern touch but the earth and natural colors keep the bed rest sleek and suitable for different ages and easy to blend with different styles. The  Bed Rest is wonderful to read in bed, watch tv, use your laptop or just enjoy a laid back breakfast in bed. The Zebra  bed rest dimensions are  28' x 18' x 16' and it's filled with a polyester blend for a firm but comfortable support, The pillow needs to be spot clean with a damp cloth.

Finger lickin Lacquer Cherry Pie from the Family don't end with Blood Collection Swatch and Review

Finger lickin Lacquer Cherry Pie from the Family don't end with Blood Collection Swatch and Review

See the review for Croatoan,Hunter's Helper,Knight of hell from the same collection.

After falling in love with the other polishes I had reviewed from Finger Lickin' Lacquer I had to get cherry pie as the thought of a cherry scented red holo intrigued me to say the least.

Finger lickin Lacquer Cherry Pie

Dean loves pie and I love cherry's so this polish was perfect for the collection and for me. The scent was more sugary at first and you had to take a 2nd smell before getting to the cherry. My co workers are amazed by the thought of scented polish. I have a few others I will be reviewing in the future as well from Finger lickin lacquers, and we change teams so often I will continue to amaze my peers at work.
