Planet Sock Monkey Magenta Beetsch Review

I was provided the following product in exchange for a review. All thoughts are my own and are not influenced by others.

I am Alternative in style and love bat purses and skulls and spikes so needless to say when I saw Magenta I fell in love. I got a chance to review her and was so excited when she arrived. I will be putting her on my desk at work since there are many sock monkeys on my co workers desks she won't be lonely but she will be the most stylish.

Operation: anti-present theft

Operation: anti-present theft

I was provided the following in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts here are my own.

This is part of our holiday gift guide this holiday season.

I have been a victim of mail theft and chances are so have you. I had been looking around for a solution to preventing my mail box from being plucked at the whim of thieves. Being a blogger and a polishaholic I tend to get packages all year around. So I had been looking for a way to protect those packages but what I was finding at Home Depot and Lowes were falling short for my needs. I needed something that could store several packages at a time. When Mail Boss agreed to work with me I was ecstatic

I received the Mail Manager which retails starting for $149.00 for the box itself. They offer posts to place it on and even more choices.

When looking around at their site I saw a video about someone trying to break into the mail Manager with a crow bar. That video impressed me so well I knew that anything that is sent to me would be safe.

SmartSilk pillow Giveaway

Hey all, Rubyblood here bringing you another giveaway featured in our Holiday Gift Guide.

This is for you all out there needing new pillows to rest your heads on at night. I know a lot of us forget how important a pillow is to our everyday activities. What we don't think about is if we don't feel well we aren't in the best of moods and neck pain can cause the worst of them all.

Check out our review here:

Smartsilk Pillow Review

I received the following products in exchange for review all thoughts are my own and not influenced by this fact.

The old man loves the cool side of the pillow and when I heard of SmartSilk pillows and what they do I knew they would be just perfect. I received a set of SmartSilk pillows in Queen.

Here is some info from the site about the pillows.

he SmartSilk™ Pillow offers you a delightful sleeping experience with our luxurious blend of all natural and luxurious material. We begin with the cozy silk-filled liner that smoothly borders the entire pillow. The all-natural soft cotton outer shell then encases our unique polyester micro gel fiber filling providing you with a very comfy combination for a relaxing night's sleep.

In addition, The SmartSilk™ Shield Advantage offers you a proven barrier against allergens, dust mites and pet dander that live on most down and synthetic pillows. The SmartSilk™ Pillow has been certified asthma & allergy friendly™, ensuring you a cleaner and uninterrupted sleep each night.

Feel the SmartSilk™ difference with our Smart Temperature Advantage, offering you an increased level of comfort while resting your head. The SmartSilk™ Pillow is constantly, naturally and automatically adjusting to your body temperature, keeping your head and neck at the perfect temperature in addition to its moisture wicking properties.

Our All Natural Silk Filled Luxury Bedding will enhance your sleep and quality of life

Attributes of the SmartSilk™ Pillow

Polyester micro gel fiber filling

All natural silk fill liner

All natural cotton outer shell

Moisture wicking properties help to reduce effects of night sweats

Keeps your skin moisturized

Water repellent non-woven material

Breathable materials: no longer need to flip the pillow around looking for a cool spot

Certified asthma & allergy friendly™

The pillow feels like a cloud and I loved using it when relaxing on the futon using the iPad or reading a book. They stay cool to the touch and its so soothing I fell asleep reading with it a few times. Another time I didn't feel well I was trying to stay awake but when I layed down on the futon the moment my head hit the pillow I was out.

Now if you like a firm pillow these are not for you. These are super soft and you can feel the gel inside as it shifts ( I love that feeling.) I got these with the Old man in mind but tried them myself too in regular sleep situations. I am large chested and because of that and the fact I normally sleep on my stomach these didn't provide enough support for my head in single form or even both stacked together. That is why I like firm pillows for sleeping on my stomach but when laying on my back or side these are perfect. When I folded the pillow in half it was perfect for stomach sleeping.

Since using these pillows the Old Man is sleeping better and longer without interruption. Before it seemed like any sort of noise had him awake and he was complaining of neck pain. I don't even remember the last time he said his neck hurt since using these pillows. His allergies are horrible and the fact these are allergy friendly is just another reason they are perfect.

So if you have someone who:

Loves the cool side of the pillow

Likes soft pillows

Complains of neck pains

and (maybe) has allergies? 

Then I highly recommend surprising them with these pillows.

They retail for:

Standard $65.00 

Queen $75.00 

King $85.00

SmartSilk also has other products:

Comforters

Mattress pads (I bet these are heavenly) 

Pillow Protectors

Crib bedding

Flat and fitted sheets

Pillow cases

And a new pet line!

UPDATE: Blogging, doors, and iphones

Sorry its been quite this week! Things have been a little crazy with me and life got in the way. I work full time so time I get to blog is limited but this week was insane. We ordered a new screen door for our house from lowes but before making the order we shopped around like usual checking to see if we could get a better deal. So there went all my time tue,wed,thur, and then friday the new iphone came out. So I of course had to go get my new iphone and man was that a crazy mess all in itself.

So I got up late on friday (Well I woke up at 3am but didn't get out of bed til like 5.) I was already talking to my coworkers who were on the hunt for a phone of their own. I had planned to go to Best Buy but everyone else was saying to come on down to the stores. Well another co-worker said that best buy only had 2 in line so thats where I went. I arrived at 6am with my fierce strawberry and a folding camping stool and camped out for the next hour and 45 mins. They came out early to see what everyone wanted so they could pass out flyers corresponding to the device you wanted so they could process the order as quickly and efficiently as possible. They had no gold which left a few phoneless and then they had no 16gb for At&t whatsoever (well there goes me!) So I called walmart at the stop light in from of Best Buy they said they had 2. I drove across the road and ran through the store hoping to be lucky to beat others there. I was 2nd in line and was excited and then I had to wait only like 8 mins. I had my iPhone and was out the door in less than 20 mins one of the least painful experience I have had on iPhone launch. I even saved money by getting it at Walmart, it was only $189.99 instead of the traditional 199.99 that I normally pay.

Now as I have disclosed before I work for one of the largest telecommunications company in the United States. So that means a new iPhone means more than just a new phone for me. It means the busiest time of the year at my job and its been crazy! I am working overtime on top of my normal shift this weekend and yesterday I had to rush to bed after setting my phone up. I got done and ready to go to bed at 2pm and had to be at work at 8pm so needless to say I was TIRED. So I slept a bit when I got back home and I probably shouldn't because I need to be in bed no later than 3pm today to be at work tonight (regular time not 8pm.) So wish me luck! I am cranking out a few things today to entertain you during my absence (to also prevent a gap in posts.) There will be lots of GIVEAWAYS <<<<get your attention?<<< and reviews and we are kicking off the Holiday gift guide!

The gift guide is going live today. Its called Ruby's Wrappable picks.

Have fun all!
