Xyron 9″ Creative Station Review & Give-Away!!!

You may remember other reviews I have done for Xyron products in the past.  I really like their products and was recently sent the Creative Station with multiple cartridges to create laminated magnets, stickers, repositional stickers and to laminate.  The Xyron Creative Station does not need batteries or electricity so it is easy to use anywhere.  You simply run the object through with the crank and it comes out the back and you have a removable trimmer that you can use to cut your project.

It was so easy, first I made a bookplate sticker, just by running the bookplate through with the sticker cartridge.  Super easy and fast and the adhesive is only on the back of the bookplate so you just lift it off and put it in a book.

You simply peel back the protective paper and your sticker is ready when you are ready to use it.  Time to change the cartridge to the laminating and magnet cartridge, and make a magnet.

Now get the object that you want to make into a magnet, and just like making the sticker, you turn the handle and it runs through and out the back.

You can then trim your magnet with scissors or the removable cutter in the back of the machine.

Alright, so we covered stickers and magnets, now I will show you how it laminates a paper ID card.  Just change the cartridge to the laminating cartridge.  Then, everything else is just the same, you run the object through and it comes out the back laminated on both sides.  You simply trim with scissors or the removable cutter.

So you can see that the Creative Station will make stickers, magnets and laminate.  It is pretty handy especially to scrapbookers and crafters.  You can watch a video showcasing the Creative Station on the Martha Stewart Show here.

The Xyron 9” Creative Station is a Sticker Maker, Laminator, Label and Magnet Maker all in one. Perfect for so many of your craft, school, home and office projects, it’s even safe enough for kids to use, requiring no heat, batteries or electricity. The 9” width allows you to create photo stickers, photo magnets, laminated recipe cards, business cards, labels for jars and cabinets and many other projects.

Change applications quickly with easy load cartridges. The Cut Bar is removeable for additional trimming. Includes a 9″ wide x 60′ long acid-free permanent adhesive cartridge.

Features:
  • Applies an even layer of edge-to-edge adhesive onto items up to 9″ wide.
  • Instantly laminates items up to 8.5″ wide.
  • Easy to Use, Lightweight and Portable
  • Refillable
  • No Heat
  • No Electricity
  • No Batteries

Now for some great news, Xyron is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  One luck blog reader will win a 9″ Creative Station with sticker, laminating magnet and laminating cartridge.  Thank you Xyron for the review product and for sponsoring this creative give-away on Mommy Ramblings.  Open to US Residents.

Mangroomer, Men’s Grooming Essentials Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Mangroomer recently sent me their product line to review.  The three products include the Professional Do-It-Yourself Electric Back Shaver, Essential Body Shaver and Essential Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer.  I gave the products to my husband to test.  He could not test the back shaver because he has a hairless back, which makes me very happy.  However, if you man does suffer from a forest on his back this shaver will easily mow it down, and make the beach a more beautiful place.  He did think the Essential Body Shaver worked very well and efficently and he also gave two thumbs up to the Essential Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer.  If you are looking for some great man grooming products for the man in your life, then check out Mangroomer.

Winterthur Store, Lindsay Throw Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently asked to select a product from Winterthur Store to review. Winterthur Store carries products for home decor, entertaining, outdoor living, bedding, linens, books and gifts.  After spending a very long time browsing their immense selection of quality products, I chose the Lindsay Throw.  It looked gorgeous and so cozy in the picture, and in person it is even more fabulous.   This beautiful fully hand crafted design is constructed from all-natural fabrics and is embellished with intricate hand detailing. The throw is machine washable and can be tumbled dried as well.  This is the kind of throw I am going to love cuddling under while on the couch.  This generous 50″ by 60″ quilted throw adds a splash of color and style anywhere you put it.

Tamron AF 18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD AF Lens Review & Giveaway!!! {Giveaway Ended}

I was absolutely ecstatic when Tamron contacted me to do a review on their AF18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD AF Lens.  My Canon 60D is more like an extension of my arm.  Rarely, am I anywhere without my camera.  Most of the time I shoot with a 17-55mm, and zooming requires me to change to my 55-250 mm.  This is good, but not great when you are on the beach and don’t want to chance changing lenses with blowing sand and surf.  On our recent vacation, this was a huge hassle, because I either had to chance changing the lens or try to make it work with one or the other.  Now with this Tamron AF18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD AF Lens, I am able to have the best of both worlds in one lens.

One instance where this lens would have been great, was last year.  My friend and I were on a walk and saw a black bear that was down the road.  My Canon 17-55 mm could not make him more than a black blob in the distance.  This lens would have been perfect.  I took it out today and was very impressed with the lens.  First it is light, which is great because I usually walk with my camera.  I love the range, it really can’t be beat.  The images are sharp, crisp and well focused.  I would not use it as my portrait lens in my studio but as an all around lens, I am very impressed.  I cannot wait to really put this lens through the paces. I look forward to the ability to capture images that would have required me to change lenses.  If you are looking for a great all-purpose lens that will go the distance, then you should try the Tamron AF18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD AF Lens .  The auto focus works great and the vibration compensation mechanism is flawless.  Compatible mounts are Nikon, Canon and Sony.

At the other end of the soccer field.

Now you can without a doubt.

Much better!!!

He came all the way down, he gets some apples.

What’s that?

Aha!!!

What’s out there?

I can see clearly now.

Tamron AF18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD AF Lens for Canon

The Tamron AF18-270mm f/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC PZD AF Lens for Canon is a 15x high power zoom lens designed exclusively for digital SLR cameras using the more compact (APS-C) digital size image sensors. The focal length of this lens is equivalent to approx. 28-419mm in 35mm format. Designed as an “all-in-one” lens, it will meet almost all photographic opportunities without changing lenses.

The addition of PZD (Piezo Drive) ultrasonic autofocus motor helps make this lens lighter, short and slimmer than any previous lens in this category, and provides faster, quieter auto-focusing.

The VC (Vibration Compensation) mechanism allows the use of shutter speeds that are much slower than otherwise possible, with no perceptible increase in image blur. It automatically detects movement of the camera and compensates for camera shake when shooting a moving object. This feature is a must in a lens with this longer range of focal length.  This lens will focus down to 19.3″ (0.49 m) throughout the zoom range.

This lens is designed exclusively for DSLR cameras with smaller-size sensors. It is NOT compatible with 35mm film cameras and DSLR cameras with image sensors larger than 24 x 16mm.

Compact, lightweight 15x zoom lens
For use with Canon digital SLR cameras
For APS-C image sensor cameras
Vibration Compensation (VC) system is incorporated into the lens
A new level of compactness, performance, and speed is achieved with the addition of PZD (Piezo Drive), an innovative ultrasonic autofocus motor based on an advanced piezoelectric design
Special Glass Optimized for Digital SLR
Three hybrid aspherical lens elements and two LD (Low Dispersion) glass elements are used to accomplish effective compensation of on-axis and lateral chromatic aberrations, a critical factor to enhance the optical quality in digital photography.
Di-II Series Design
Design has been improved by adding a gold-colored band between the focus and zoom rings to enhance the appearance and make it stand out as a Di II lens. The rubber patterns of the zoom and focus control rings have been improved at the same time to compliment the digital camera design style and to provide better handling.
The Give-Away:
Tamron is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own Tamron AF18-270mm
f/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC PZD AF Lens.  Thank you Tamron for the review lens and for sponsoring this awesome giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US Residents.

Looster Booster Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent a Looster Booster to review.  This ingenious potty stool fits around the toilet so little ones can climb right up and feel safe.  It does not need to be moved out of the way for adults to use the toilet.  My little ones slide it over to the sink to wash their hands too.   It is very easy to keep clean and little ones love to use it.

The Best Coconut Oil, Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe!

If you are ready to try the best chocolate chip cookie recipe made with coconut oil, look no further.  Seriously, everyone I have shared this recipe with raves about it.  They are absolutely one of the easiest and best chocolate chip cookies you will ever make and eat.  So let me show you what to do so you can get baking.

 

 

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies:

  • 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts
1. With an electric mixer or stand mixer, beat coconut oil, butter and sugars together until fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Beat in eggs and vanilla.
2. In a small bowl, mix flours, baking powder and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients until a soft dough is formed. Don’t over mix the dough, or the chocolate chip cookies will be tough.
3. Stir in chocolate chips and nuts, if using.
4. Refrigerate dough at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
6. Using a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, drop chocolate chip cookie dough onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 8-15 minutes, until cookies are golden brown around the edges, but still soft inside.
When my husband saw that I was using coconut oil he was skeptical, he does not like coconut.  When they were done I could taste a hint of coconut but the cookies were soft, chewy and delicious.  The true test came when my husband tried them.  He did not mention any taste of coconut but did say they were absolutely delicious and helped himself to a few more.

Disclosure: This post was sponsored by Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.  As always my words and views are 100% my own.

Vitamins Baby, Blankie Buddy Review and Give away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

VB logo_300x200.JPG
I was recently sent a Blankie Buddy for review from Vitamins Baby. As soon as the box was opened, my older boys handed it off to my 7 month old and they have been fast friends since! This Blankie Buddy is a small lamb with a blanket like body, it is so cuddly soft, and my baby loves to play with, and snuggle it. It is the perfect size for babies, and is easy to hold. I love for my kids to have a blanket or stuffed animal for security, and this little gem is kind of two in one! I think it’s just adorable, and it doesn’t hurt that my baby loves it! The body and filling are made out of 100% cotton and machine washable. Blankie buddies come in a variety of different animals, and in boy, girl, or gender neutral versions. Vitamin Blanket Buddies are perfect for baby shower or newborn gifts, both babies and moms will love them!

I am delighted to announce that Vitamins Baby is providing a set of Blankie Buddies for a give-away on Mommy Ramblings!

VIOlight Zapi pop Toothbrush Sanitizer Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

Your Toothbrush Cleans Your Teeth. What Cleans Your Toothbrush?

A single toothbrush can harbor millions of microorganisms, which translate into harmful bacteria — bacteria that thrive in the warm, moist environment of the average bathroom. VIOlight stops these microorganisms dead in their track. Independent studies prove that the patent-pending VIOlight system eliminates up to 99.9% of bacteria that thrive on your toothbrush. That’s millions of microscopic bugs that can cause flu, colds and other illnesses, zapped in minutes!

Just thinking about what could be growing on our toothbrush is gross. Exposed toothbrushes are a magnet for germs in the bathroom. With the Zapi toothbrush sanitizer, you can store your toothbrush and eliminate germs at the same time.  Germicidal UV light automatically eliminates up to 99% of bacteria in just minutes.  Just insert your toothbrush, press the button, and the zapi does all the work for you! Germicidal UV technology is proven to eliminate strep, e.Coli, salmonella, and other organisms.

The CDC says that even after being rinsed visibly clean, toothbrushes can remain contaminated with potentially pathogenic organisms. The Zapi gives you peace of mind that you toothbrush is as clean as can be.  They have so many great styles and colors to choose from that you are sure to find a unit that makes you smile.  So easy to use, just insert your toothbrush, push the button on the front and walk away.  The Zapi will automatically turn off in 7 minutes and store your squeaky clean toothbrush until you use it again.  Works with all toothbrushes and electric heads.
