Bialetti, “Aeternum” Saute Pan Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I was recently sent an 8″ Aeternum Saute Pan from Bialetti to review. This pan is a great size for cooking a grilled cheese, an omelet and meals for one. The handle is super comfortable and the pan heats evenly, cooks well and is a breeze to clean. The eco friendly Aeternum cookware line is free of PFOA, free of PTFE and free of Cadmium. The interior features a new “nano-ceramic” coating which is a water-based coating made of titanium and suspended silicate micro-particles (the main component of glass); one of the purest and most ecological materials in nature. This material resists scratches, abrasions and offers a smooth, compact and uniform surface that makes it easier to clean. The white color provides a unique and extraordinary cooking experience. The base provides excellent thermal conductivity and guarantees optimum heat distribution resulting in less energy required to maintain desired cooking temperature. The scratch resistant hi-temp silicone exterior makes this cookware easy to clean. This is a great saute pan to have handy for so many things and ours is often found on the cooktop because it is a favorite of ours.

So what do you think? Would you like a chance to win your very own 8″ Aeternum Saute Pan from Bialetti ? Then you will be thrilled to know Bialetti is sponsoring a give-away on Mommy Ramblings. One lucky blog reader will win their very own 8″ Aeternum Saute Pan from Bialetti. Thank you Bialetti for the review pan and for sponsoring this awesome give-away!!! Open to US Residents only.

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.

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 Happy Kid Company, Fun Fort Review & Give-Away!!! {Give-Away Ended}

I recently was sent a Fun Fort to review from The Happy Kid Company. The Fortamajig Fun Fort is their newest product in the Fortamajig line! It allows kids to build any space, anywhere!
