I love spring. I think that it’s one of my favorite seasons. I was recently asked what My Spring Celebration Announcement is. That was easy to answer. It is going to be the birth of my Great niece! I have been excited since the day I found out my niece was expecting. We don’t stay close so I have to watch for all the updates on Facebook. I have watched her tummy grow from nothing to a great big round belly on her small frame!

She has got almost everything ready for the big birth in May! However, I wanted to do something special so I decided that I would make sure she has the perfect birth announcements and photo books without paying those high fees that the hospital picture people charge.
I told her to go to shutterfly.com and pick the announcements that she likes. I plan to have the order placed the same day the baby is born for her with all the information along with the baby’s first pictures. I have always liked using shutterfly’s service. The price and the quality can’t be beat. The selections are also a big plus because they have so many designs to pick from. It sometimes can be hard to just pick one! She still hasnt decided which one she likes the most but so far these are the 2 that is officially in..



I think they are beautiful and going to look great! I can’t wait to see the finished product.

I guess it’s safe to say that I am addicted to hair products! My hair products go hand in hand with the big collection of makeup. This started when I was in high school. I am sure you know that during those years my collection keeps getting bigger. It seems like a new product hits the shelves weekly and I buy it. I like to try every new product that comes out. Some I love some I ask myself WHY DID I BUY THAT! I was invited to try the Conair Spin Air Brush and scünci bendini. I actually was looking at the Spin brush but this was one of the items, I was just not sure about. I was worried that it would Tangle our hair bad. We have thick Hair and I have to be very careful with items like this. If not you can just imagine the mess that happens! It’s a nightmare trying to get it untangled.
I mean who don’t want to put a new spin on your hair styling routine? Smooth, frizz-free and voluminous hair is now easy to achieve with the new Infiniti Pro by Conair™ Spin Air Brush! Shaped like the typical round hair brush you’d use to do a blow-out. 

After I styled her hair I added the scünci bendini clip to complete the look. I wish I had pictures to show how great this looked. However my camera is MIA and my photos with my phone didn’t turn out right! This high fashion affordable hair jewelry adds instant glam in two easy steps, and works on almost any hair length and texture. The scünci bendini is available in three different sizes and a variety of styles, including jeweled crystals, colorful beads and metallics. It’s also available in the special scünci “girl” line designed especially for the little “Princess” in your life. To use the scünci bendini clip, start with gathering your hair in the desired style. Slide the bendini comb into the hair, and bend and snap it securely in place for an all-day hold. The bendini clip are now hitting shelves at drug, mass and grocery stores nationwide starting in at a suggested retail price of about $4.99 per pack
Now for the best part! I am giving this great “bundle” away to one lucky reader! To enter head on over to the Conair store and tell me what other products that you would like to try. I will pick the lucky winner 4/ 29/2011 @ Noon EST. This Contest is only for my US Readers.

As a Frigidaire test mom and a customer for life I love keeping up with Frigidaire news! I recently learned that the maker of Frigidaire brand appliances has been named an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for Product Manufacturer by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The award recognizes the company for increasing their selection and delivery of environmentally-conscious ENERGY STAR qualified appliances and helping to educate consumers about the ENERGY STAR program. Award winners are selected from more than 20,000 organizations that participate in the ENERGY STAR program! In 2010, Frigidaire encouraged consumers to recycle old appliances and replace them with ENERGY STAR qualified appliances through the Swap and Save program, which so far has saved U.S. consumers more than $240 million dollars in energy savings and more than 7.4 billion gallons of water.
Frigidaire’s new collections of kitchen and laundry appliances include ENERGY STAR qualified appliances in every product category; where applicable, offering a wide variety of stylish appliances that are from 10% to 80% more energy-efficient than non-ENERGY STAR® qualified appliances. Innovative features that minimize energy and water consumption are a priority across the appliance line, from washers that use up to 82% less energy and 60% less water to refrigerators and freezers that use at least 10% less energy, to dishwashers that use at least 41% less energy and 40% less water than was used just 10 years ago. In fact, Frigidaire dishwashers use five gallons of water per load versus 27 gallons for hand washing – a savings of more than 50,000 gallons of water over the average life of the product.
In Celebration of these wonderful achievements, Earth Month and the commitment to a greener world they are having a great contest going on at facebook by taking the Eco-Friendly poll @ http://www.facebook.com/Frigidaire?sk=app_120886811321325 and you are entered to win great eco-friendly prizes that will be given out each week! This Week’s FEATURED ECO-FRIENDLY PRIZE is A Frigidaire Professional®French Door Refrigerator!! So Go Enter and GOOD LUCK!!

We have a 2 year old Pomeranian so when I say he sheds a lot. THAT’S A UNDERSTATEMENT! Then add the kids dragging in dirt I am always vacuuming! Neato XV-11 does a great job picking up the pet hair and dirt off the carpet and laminate floors. The setup was very simple; there isn’t much you need to do with the Neato. Just plug in the base station and let it charge up. When you are ready for it to clean, just push the big orange button and off it goes. Once it’s finished in one room, it will start working in the next–or return automatically to its base for recharging and resume cleaning where it left off. I also like that you are able to Schedule everyday cleaning with a few simple button presses and your house is always ready for those unexpected guests, even when you’ve been out all day. This saves me time and With the Neato running daily my floors remains incredibly clean. The amount of pet hair and dirt it picks up is actually amazing. In fact I admit that since I have received the Neato , the only time I use my upright vacuum now is one day a week! That is on Saturday’s when we do a full house cleaning.
Product Features
Powerful XV-11 saves you time by automatically vacuuming your entire floor–even deep into corners and under furniture
Laser-based Room Positioning System sees everything in the room, avoids bumping into walls and furniture
High performance vacuum removes all kinds of dirt and cleans all floors–carpets, rugs, hardwood, laminates, tile, and stone
Schedule automatic cleanings while you’re away via simple user interface
Automatically returns to charging base when vacuuming is concluded
What’s in the Box
Neato XV-11 robot vacuum, charging base, power adapter, batteries, boundary markers, filter replacement package, quick start guide, user guide. Backed by a 1-year limited warranty.
My Final Conclusion
I actually love the machine! The $400 price tag is where I have personal concerns; I admit that this machine is great! However Personally I am not sure that I would be willing to convince my husband to buy this. This is nothing I would get rid of my upright for. The power and features are great but I still feel that it’s more as a “helper” then a replacement. The product warranty is a 30-day, money back guarantee and a one year limited warranty. So I would say to at least give it a test for the 30 days and decide personally if the cost is worth it for your family in the long run. However I still would give it 5 stars for the performance!
