NatureBox Snacks Review & Giveaway!!!

I was recently contacted by NatureBox and asked if I would like to do a review of their NatureBox snacks.  I gladly accepted and am really happy that I did.  NatureBox helps you eat healthier without needing to change your eating habits. They focus on snacks because that’s the easiest habit to change. Do you know that the average American eats almost 25% of their calories from snacking? In fact, snacking is the leading cause of childhood obesity. NatureBox helps you get more out of your day without wasting calories on the bad stuff.

My box contained:

Tropical Trail Mix-Another great snack with coconut shavings and a rainbow of tropical fruits and nuts that was great for a flavorful energy boosting treat

Cinnamon Spiced Almonds-These were phenomenal and tasted like eating a cookie or something baked.  Totally satisfied those cravings and were just so delicious.

Honey Nut Medley-This nut mix is great when you are craving something sweet.

Masa Crisps- and they were just absolutely delicious and you definitely did not feel that you were being deprived or that this was any sort of healthy replacement snack.

Agave Citrus Granola-This soft baked granola had a unique citrus flavor and one taste and I was looking for some vanilla yogurt to mix with it.  Absolutely fabulous alone or mixed in yogurt.

The box comes with a card with a description of all the snacks and helpful tips, recipe and snack suggestions.

Every NatureBox item is carefully sourced and nutritionist approved. Everything inside your NatureBox will be guilt free so that you can feel great about what you’re eating. You can trust that our products will be made from the most wholesome ingredients and will be minimally processed, if at all.  Each box costs just $19.95 and shipping is always free with NatureBox.

PMD, Personal MicroDerm System Review & Giveaway!!!

Who doesn’t want younger, smoother, more flawless skin?  I was very happy when I was asked to review the PMD, Personal MicroDerm System recently.  The PMD was said to work as well as the professional treatments that are found in dermatologist’s offices.  I was very impressed at the quality of the system, all the components and that it even came with an instructional video.  How nice to have such a high quality device to take care of any problem areas and leave my skin smoother and younger looking. It is so easy to use and works so well and uses the same aluminum oxide crystals found in professional equipment.  If you are looking to get great results from microderm treatments at home without the hassle and expense of going to the doctor, you should take a look at the PMD, Personal MicroDerm System.  Get professional results in your own bathroom and you are sure to have everyone mentioning how great your skin looks.

I like that you can use it on your body, hands, neck as well as your face and that just lets you treat any areas that you feel are less than perfect and achieve great results. Minimizing pores is what I really love and that it quickly takes care of any unevenness or rough skin area.  I feel very empowered knowing that it is just takes a trip to my bathroom linen closet to get professional results.

PMD works in two ways to produce amazing resurfacing results. The aluminum oxide crystals embedded into the exfoliating discs work to resurface the stratum corneum skin layer. This combined with the powerful vacuum suction of the hand-held device stimulates blood flow and brings collagens to the surface; allowing skin care products to penetrate deeper into the skin ultimately revealing younger, healthier skin.

PMD greatly enhances poor, dull skin texture by gently resurfacing the superficial skin layers. Softens and modifies fine “expression” lines typically seen on the forehead and around the mouth. Polishes and reduces fine, crêpe lines on the cheeks generally caused by aging and sun damage. Smoothes pigment changes or skin discoloration. Contracts enlarged pores; exfoliates and suctions out clogged pores in case of acne, and polishes and smoothes out the margins of acne and burn scars.

 

 

ABOUT THE PRODUCT

Achieve amazing anti-aging results at home with Personal Microderm System. It works just like a professional microdermabrasion treatment without the hassle or cost. The hand-held device uses the same aluminum oxide crystals as the ten thousand dollar machines found at your doctor’s office. It smooths away dead skin cells, diminishing age spots and other signs of aging.  Help treats acne and scarring as well.

THE SYSTEM INCLUDES:

1 personal microderm
6 exfoliating discs (2 green and 4 blue)
1 electric cord (Standard U.S. Outlet)
1 facial cap
1 body cap
1 reusable filter
Instructional CD and Pamphlet.
For best results when using the Personal Microderm, use a cell renewal or gentle skin resurfacing cream (PMD Daily Regeneration System – Starter Kit) in conjunction with the microdermabrasion tool.

WHO IT’S FOR

Ideal for those with fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne, skin discolorations, and other imperfections who want smooth, even-toned skin.

PMD is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings.  One lucky blog reader will win their own PMD, Personal MicroDerm System.  Thank you PMD for the review system and for sponsoring this awesome giveaway on Mommy Ramblings!!!  Open to US residents.

Disney’s, “John Carter” on Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack Review & Giveaway!!!

 

A Warrior On Earth Becomes a Hero On Mars

 

 

New On Disney Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, Blu-ray 3D™, HD Digital, DVD,

and On-Demand June 5th

 

“A Visual Marvel”

 

Steven Weintraub, Collider.com

Disney brings to life an iconic hero, John Carter, in a visually stunning new world with heart-pounding action. The heroic epic adventure “John Carter” arrives on Disney Blu-ray Combo Pack, Blu-ray 3D™, HD Digital, DVD and On-Demand June 5, 2012, just in time for Father’s Day!  

As a warrior lost on Earth, John Carter is magically transported to Mars, where the fate of the planet and its people ultimately rest in his hands.  With surprising new powers, and epic battles, he rises to become the man he is meant to be and the hero he truly is.

From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton (Best Animated Film, WALL•E, 2008) “John Carter” is a sweeping action-adventure set on the mysterious and exotic planet of Barsoom (Mars). John Carter is a war-weary, former military captain who’s inexplicably transported to Mars and reluctantly becomes embroiled in an epic conflict. It’s a world on the brink of collapse, and Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes the survival of Barsoom and its people rests in his hands. Stunning special effects, great characters and villains — and complete with extraordinary bonus features — “John Carter” is a heroic and inspirational adventure that will thrill audiences beyond imagination.

This ambitious and unforgettable screen adaptation of the classic novel “A Princess of Mars” by Edgar Rice Burroughs, stars heart-throb Taylor Kitsch (“Friday Night Lights,” “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”) in the title role, Lynn Collins (“X-Men Origins: Wolverine,” “The Number 23”) as Dejah Thoris, Willem Dafoe (“The English Patient,” “Spider Man”) as Tars Tarkas, and Dominic West (“300,” “The Wire”) as Sab Than. The screenplay is written by Stanton, Mark Andrews and Michael Chabon.

 


 

Our Thoughts:

I don’t know who was more excited to see the John Carter Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack that we received for review, my husband or my kids.  From a glance at the box cover they were captivated.  It was quickly passed around and they could not wait to view it.  I will admit It even looked appealing to me and I am not a big science fiction fan.  The movie is full of very cool special effects and is an epic adventure filled with acts of bravery and great discovery, feats of love and compassion, and plenty of mystery that had us all captivated.

John is thrust into conflict on Barsoom, Mars and it has all the elements you want in a great adventure film like this.  He has the country of Helium to save, evil to battle by the name of Sab Than, love to discover with a Mars Princess, Dejah of Helium and aliens called Tharks who become his friends and help him to save Helium.  After defeating evil he finds himself back on Earth where he spends years and his wealth trying to get back to Mars and to reunite with his wife.  I won’t spoil the end for you by telling you what happens because I would be pretty annoyed if someone did that to me.  So you will just have to watch for yourself.

2-Disc Combo Pack (Blu-ray + DVD)

Suggested Retail Prices:                 

2-Disc Combo Pack = $39.99 U.S./$46.99 Canada               

Feature Run Time:  132 minutes

Ratings: U.S.: PG-13 / Canada: PG (bonus material is not rated)

Blast Zone, Ultra Croc Inflatable Water Park Review!!! Exclusive Discount Codes!!!

You may remember our review of the Blast Zone Hang Ten we did a few months ago.  We love that inflatable so when we had the chance to review the huge Ultra Croc Inflatable Water Park we were ecstatic.  It arrived quickly and was very easy to unpack and set up.  All we had to do was unroll the inflatable and then hook the blower up, plug the blower in and voila, we were up and ready to attach the water hoses and sprayers.  It was pretty easy for my husband to attach them and they have multiple velcro fasteners to hold the hose and sprayer heads on securely.  We were also able to just leave them attached and deflate and inflate time and again.  We have used in multiple times in the few days we have had it.  I like that the hose tubing is clear so you can see that it is clean and if there was ever an obstruction.

This inflatable has three separate pools, 3 slides, a climbing wall and that all equals a tremendous amount of fun on a hot day.  My three-year old climbs the wall no problem and there are lots of safety handles for him to use.  They have a blast with this inflatable and we have to literally drag them out when the sun starts going down and they start shivering.  Even then they don’t want to get out.  We never hear that they are tired of it or don’t want to go in.  We simply set it up and start the water in the morning and they are in for the majority of the day.

The quality is great, and we are so glad it has so many commercial features because it is going to hold up very well to the tremendous amount of use it is going to receive.  If you are looking for something super fun to keep the kids active and cool this summer, check out the Blast Zone Ultra Croc Inflatable Water Park or any one of their other great inflatables.  A big thank you to Blast Zone for this incredibly generous and fun review!!!

Blast Zone is offering three exclusive discount codes to Mommy Rambling’s Readers for use on BlastZone.com.

“The Jungle Bunch,The Movie” DVD Review & Giveaway!!! 3 Winners!!!

MADAGASCAR MEETS HAPPY FEET IN THIS WILDLY ENTERTAINING

JUNGLE ADVENTURE!!!

THE JUNGLE BUNCH

THE MOVIE

AVAILABLE MAY 29, 2012 Exclusively at Wal-Mart
AVAILABLE ON DVD & DIGITAL DOWNLOAD
FROM UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOME ENTERTAINMENT

OVERVIEW:  The Jungle Bunch is a delightful movie about a cute and loveable penguin named Maurice, voiced by Golden Globe® and Emmy®-award winner andNew York Times best-selling children’s author John Lithgow, debuting on DVD & Digital Download on May 29, 2012, from Universal Studios Home Entertainment.

The Jungle Bunch movie is the incredible story of how a Penguin’s egg fell off an Antarctic ice floe and somehow ended up in the jungle.  Adopted and raised by an affectionate tigress, Maurice is totally convinced that he is actually a tiger!  He divides his time between hunting, re-painting his stripes and teaching his own adopted son, Junior the Tiger Fish, his own special brand of hunting techniques.  Maurice, Junior and all their jungle buddies form a happy, go-lucky but rather dysfunctional family.

Ping and Pong, two penguins from Maurice’s native Antarctic village, are in search of “The Great Tiger Warrior” to save their village from an oppressive group of walruses. Their search leads them to Maurice’s jungle home, where they tell him of their plight.  Determined to help, Maurice, joined by Fred, a warthog convinced he lives in a musical; Batricia, the only bat afraid of the dark; Miguel, a more than primate gorilla; and Gilbert, a tarsier afraid to leave his limb, form a team and embark on an adventure they will never forget!

We received The Jungle Bunch, The Movie DVD for review and this movie is great fun for the whole family to watch.  My little ones love the hysterical characters like Maurice, the penguin tiger.  His adorable team of misfit jungle friends provide lots of laughs that will tickle the whole family.  There are 26 funny shorts from “Behind the Scenes” of the Jungle for added entertainment.  If you are looking for a fun, family movie this jungle adventure is a perfect choice!!!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend Everyone and Thank You to our Veterans Past and Present!!!

Hi Everyone!!!  Sorry I have been slacking with the reviews and giveaways but I will make up for it by working to get a lot on this coming week.  I have some great stuff coming up so please be patient with me.  I have been very busy this weekend enjoying family and doing a lot of yard work.  We have so many projects going on here and the threat of rain is putting quite the damper on our outdoor painting and staining projects.  This afternoon I went and picked up all the plants for the garden.  Multiple kinds of tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, snap peas, green beans, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, pumpkins, butternut squash, Italian parsley, sweet basil, cilantro, rosemary, Greek oregano, lots of perennials to add to our flower beds, seeds for radishes, and I think that is about it.  I have tons of spearmint, peppermint and lemon balm as they come up every year and lemon balm is impossible to get rid of and spreads like crazy.  Hoping to get everything planted tomorrow if the weather cooperates.

I love going into the garden every day and seeing everything growing and showing the little ones how are vegetables grow.  They came with me tonight and it was so cute because they each had to have a cart and they wanted to help with everything.  Ethan was so cute helping me load all the plants and trays in the car and when we got home in the dark, he was so cute unloading the car with the older boys and making sure all the little plants were safely on the deck until we can plant them.  Luke had to tell everyone he had flowers and plants for Mommy and comment on their carts filled with plants and flowers.

 

I hope you are all enjoying the weekend and the unofficial start of summer.  Remember to take some time and remember the meaning of this holiday weekend.  God Bless all our troops and keep them safe, thank you to all our veterans, and thank you to the veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  Happy Memorial Day from Mommy Ramblings!!!

Rosie’s How to Sew Doll Clothes Course Review and Giveaway!!!

Thanks to Rosie at Rosie’s Doll Clothes Patterns, I had the amazing opportunity to take her class  on sewing doll clothes for a review on Mommy Ramblings! The class consists of over 120 short video tutorials and 8 free doll clothes patterns that are made to fit the popular 18 inch American Girl dolls.

The video tutorials are super easy to understand for a novice seamstress, they are short and explain pretty much everything you need to know about sewing doll clothes. The provided patterns are straightforward and also easy to use, with video instructions for each pattern that are included free in the class. The free outfit patterns are so cute and fun, not to mention very easy to make, but still giving you that professionally finished look. Using Rosie’s tips, I was able to make some of the outfits fit my smaller Cabbage Patch Kid doll as well as the 18 inch doll. Rosie makes her videos relaxed and slow-paced as she educates you on many techniques and shortcuts for sewing, everything is explained in detail and very thorough so you don’t miss a thing! With the immediate access online class, you have full access to all of the video tutorials on the website for 12 months, giving you plenty of time to learn and review everything at your own pace. All of the videos are divided up into weekly lessons to keep it from being overwhelming. If everything at once is too much, you can sign up for the weekly emails, where new lessons will be emailed to you each week so you can take things slowly. Coming soon there will also be an option to get the whole class sent to you on DVD. What I love about this class, is that if for some reason you didn’t catch something, or don’t remember it later, you can go back and review the video. The quality of the videos was superb, and I never had any problems or glitches from streaming them. You can also make the videos full screen to get a closer look at what she is doing, which can be extremely helpful at times like when the object of the video is small.

This class is great for someone who has never sewn before, who just wants to start simple and sew her own doll clothes, or even an intermediate sewer who wants to learn some cool techniques. I will even admit that a more experienced seamstress like myself can benefit greatly from this course! I haven’t made doll clothes before, and this was a great opportunity for me to learn the aspects that make it differ from sewing adult or kid clothes. I actually learned many skills and shortcuts that I had never dreamt of. I loved how I was able to skip some of the tutorials of things I already knew and go straight to the refreshers and shortcuts I benefited from learning. If you have a daughter who loves her dolls and getting new clothes, this course gives you the opportunity to save so much money by doing it yourself, Rosie makes sewing doll clothes so easy that you’ll wonder why you ever forked over so much money for pre-made doll clothes! With her class, Rosie shows you that anyone can make their own doll clothes, and have fun while doing it! The class would actually be a fantastic gift for an older girl who is interested in sewing and wanting to start small. There are many other cute patterns for sale on the website, even after buying the pattern and fabric, making your own doll clothes is still saving you money on doll clothes!

So I am excited to let you know that Rosie’s Doll Clothes Patterns is sponsoring a giveaway on Mommy Ramblings! One lucky blog reader will win the entire “How to Sew Doll Clothes” course in their choice of Immediate access or the course delivered by email over 6 weeks. Thank you Rosie’s Doll Clothes Patterns for sponsoring this amazing review and giveaway!!!
