Ozeri, Serafino Double Wall 12 oz Beverage & Coffee Glasses – Set of 2 Insulated Drinking Glasses Review & Give-Away!!! 5 Winners!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I introduced you to Ozeri in a previous review.  I think you saw all their great products, and we are back to review another.  I was sent the Serafino Double Wall 12 oz Beverage & Coffee Glasses to review.  This set of 2 insulated, shatter resistant glasses are made of borosilicate glass and each hold 12 oz.  They are stronger and more durable than common glass and feature a wraparound contour that provides a natural aesthetic grip.  The patent-pending double wall design suspends drinks within an inner wall, creating an engaging optical effect.  Designed to keep your hands cool with hot drinks, and free of condensation with chilled beverages.  Completely dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe.

Upon receiving these glasses, I ran them through the dishwasher and then brewed my cup of coffee from my Keurig right into one. Added creamer, and grabbed the glass, which feels great in your hand and cool to the touch.  I showed my husband my “cool” coffee and my kids wanted to see too.  Great for hot or cold drinks and quite a conversation piece.

Next, we have Over And Out, the exciting numbers game for players of all ages.  This game is a great way for the kids to practice their addition and subtraction skills too.  Add your cards to the pile, but don’t go over the “Tip Top” limit.  As the numbers add up, so does the excitement.  Last player in the game wins.  Use some strategy, along with a little luck, to put your opponents Over And Out! For ages 7 – Adult and 2 to 8 players.

My Camera Couture DSLR Fashion Camera Strap Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

My Camera Couture, designer, Julia Kozak, has spent her life creating colourful but practical objects. Her in-house studio is filled with textiles, yarns, papers, paints, beads and found objects of all colors and textures. She takes particular satisfaction from redesigning a purely utilitarian object into a work of art that inspires even as it performs its task.

Her business, My Camera Couture, grew out of her love of photography and frustration with the starkly utilitarian designs of camera accessories.  Her line of camera straps and accessories allow the creative photographer to express their own sense of style without sacrificing functionality.  All pieces are handmade in her smoke-free studio when she’s not chasing her two young kids and two Elkhound dogs.

Julia sent me two great looking camera straps to review.  As many of you know, my camera is always with me, and mostly around my neck.  The black camera strap with my camera’s name on it, just does not suit my personality and I adore dressing up my camera with great straps.  I love the two straps she sent me and I want to tell you about them.

The Floral Gold on Fuchsia  SLR and DSLR camera strap is new for the 2011/12 season and features a delicate floral pattern woven in metallic gold on a hot-pink background. It reverses to solid black so you’re getting two straps in one! This strap is equipped with 3/8″ quick-release attachment straps, allowing the strap to be switched easily to match your mood.   This strap is really pretty and really stands out with the hot-pink background.  It is a sassy and stylish strap that is very comfortable and very secure.

The Pink Tropical Punch strap is new for 2011/12 and features a bold floral pattern on one side and “Capture Everyday Life™” on the other. It is equipped with 3/8″ quick-release attachment straps.  This is a funky strap that is great for where I live, right near the original Woodstock Concert Site, which is now the Bethel Woods Center for the Arts.  Great for me to wear when I go to the  Harvest Festival and concerts up there.  This is a great strap that gets tons of compliments and is super comfy and secure.

Now for the best news!!!  My Camera Couture is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their choice of any in-stock SLR strap.  Thank you My Camera Couture for the review straps and for sponsoring this great give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

Chuggington, “The Chugger Championship” DVD Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Believe it or not, my boys had never seen Chuggington before we got this DVD to review.  They do love trains though, so they were eager to watch it and they loved it.  They have definitely found some more trains to love and this is becoming a favorite DVD.  In “The Chugger Championship,” Wilson, Brewster and Coco are back and ready to put their “wheels to the rails” for the biggest race in Chuggington!  The exciting brand-new DVD features six engaging adventures that invite preschool-age fans and their families to join the three animated best friends as they prepare for a test, invent a new contest and pick up a fun hobby – all the while learning about the importance of accountability and responsibility – and that a true champion isn’t always the one who finishes first!

“The Chugger Championship” is the newest addition to Anchor Bay Entertainment’s “Chuggington” DVD collection, which also includes “Chuggers To The Rescue,” “It’s Training Time” and “Let’s Ride The Rails.”

Chuggington” has quickly become a global sensation since its debut in September 2008 in the U.K.  The show has been licensed to more than 175 territories worldwide and has established ratings records in several key international markets, including the U.K., Germany, France and Australia.  The series made its stateside debut in January 2010.

I am thrilled to annouce that Anchor Bay Entertainment is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky Mommy Rambling’s  blog reader will win their own copy of this great DVD.  Thank you Anchor Bay Entertainmentfor the review DVD and for sponsoring this great give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US Residents.

Ayala’s Herbal Water Review & Give-Away!!!

 

I was recently sent some assorted flavors of Ayala’s Herbal Water to review.  At Herbal Water®, they make their flavored water by infusing organic herbal extracts in pure artesian water.  They use no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives, and no additives of any kind.

Culinary herbs are the natural way to add real flavor and enhance any food or drink.  For centuries, they have been prized for their calming, stimulating, and aphrodisiac qualities.  Ayala’s flavored water harnesses the power of these natural wonders in a delightfully refreshing, mellow, yet complex, aromatic drink.  Enjoy a straight-from-the-garden taste of organic herbal extracts and the crisp freshness of artesian water in every sip.

These waters are extremely flavorful and remind me of herbal teas.  I thought they would be great to use in fruit smoothies and fresh fruit ice pops in place of water.  Served over ice they are crisp and refreshing. The herbal waters are available in six exotic flavor combinations.

Ayala’s Herbal Water is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win a box of all six great flavors. Thank you Ayala’s Herbal Water for the review water and for sponsoring this refreshing give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to residents of the contiguous 48 US states.

little UNI Custom Tee Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Recently I connected with little UNI.  Little Uni carries a hip, modern line of personalized clothing and accessories with sewn appliqués. The refreshingly simple designs feature a mix of classic silhouettes, vintage prints, and bold colors. The line is available in sizes newborn through 6T. Tween uni is yet to come! While their line has expanded, little uni has stayed true to their roots. All designs are still handcrafted in Chicago. Moms, dads, friends, grandparents, aunts, uncles and kids can’t get enough of little uni. It was super fun to pick something out to review from their large selection.  It was super easy to navigate their site and create a custom tee.  The first thing to pick is the shirt, I choose the long sleeve crew neck, then for the color, I picked baby blue, I then choose the shape of the appliqué, the guitar in the lime/twig color pattern.  Lastly, the personalization of my son’s name was added and we were set.  My shirt arrived quickly and it is a great weight and super soft 100% cotton.  He wore it the next day to pre-school and it is already one of his favorites.  Little Uni is a great place to shop for gifts for the little ones in your life.  You will both love their designs.

Little Uni is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will be able to create their own custom shirt.  Thank you Little Uni for the review shirt and for sponsoring this great give-away!!!  Open to US and Canadian residents.

Mohawk Home 5′ by 8′ Area Rug Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I recently connected with Mohawk Home, and was asked to select a 5′ by 8′ area rug for review.  Given the tremendous selection, it took me a long time, but I eventually chose the Mohawk Home Select Versailles Orient Express Rug.  I am putting it in my center hall foyer and the colors really complement the tile floor.  When it arrived we unpacked it and the colors are so rich and the pile is so soft and feels great under your feet.  From the moment we unrolled it, the kids were all over it.  It has really added a nice touch to the foyer and creates a very warm atmosphere. With their huge selection of styles, colors and sizes there is literally a rug for every room.  The easy care olefin fibers are soft and plush and can even withstand your high traffic areas. If you are looking for an area rug to warm up your home, check out Mohawk Home.

Now for some great news, Mohawk Home is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings. One lucky blog reader will  be able to choose any Mohawk Home rug up to size 5′ by 8′ valued up to $150 on  Mohawk Home.

My daughter, who is a big scarf fan to accessorize, is forever telling me to get some scarves to add a little pizzaz to some of my outfits.  When I was offered to do a review for Affordable Scarves, it was perfect.  They have such a great selection, winter scarves, skinny scarves, pashminas, and so much more.  I choose the Makayla Striped Pashmina in purple.  This great pashmina comes in 4 great colors and I really loved the look and how vibrant it was.  When I received it, it was even more impressive than the pics.  It is quality made and feels so soft.  It will really add a bit of style to even a simple black mock turtleneck.  There are a number of ways to wear this pashmina, and it is a very versatile accessory.  The prices are so affordable on this site, that frankly, I was worried the quality would not be great, but I was pleasantly surprised. You can view the Affordable Scarves BlogHere for some great ideas. A new site they just launched is Scarves.net which has lots of great info, such as different ways to tie the scarves.  If you are looking for some great scarves you should definitely check out Affordable Scarves.

I have great news!!!  Affordable Scarves is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One luck blog reader will win a $20 Gift Certificate to Affordable Scarves.  Thank you Affordable Scarves for the review pashmina and for sponsoring such a stylish give-away on Mommy Ramblings!!!
