Colossal Christmas Countdown: 27 Days Until Christmas!

Whether or not my hair looks good can really affect my outlook and mood for the entire day.  Things just always seem to go better and the day is more enjoyable when you know your hair looks healthy, shiny and stylish.  I use a flat iron on my hair quite frequently since I can never seem to style it very well with just a brush and blow dryer.  Since my hair is particularly fine and straight (and colored), I have to fight the flyaways and the frizz. I love how a flat iron smoothes my locks, but I've always been wary of using them too much since I know they can damage my hair.  I've heard though, that this isn't the case with a high quality flat iron.  In fact, I've heard that your hair can appear even more shiny and smooth if a high quality flat iron is used instead.  I wanted to put the Karmin Salon Pro G3 Professional Flat Iron, from Hair Products Pro, to the test to see if I could rid myself of "bad hair days" for good!

If there's one thing that concerns me as a parent, it's the physical health and well-being of my child.  I am always appalled to hear the latest stats and figures concerning the rapidly declining health of the children in our country.  Poor diet and lack of physical exercise have resulted in several generations of children whose outlook is not as bright as it should be.

For this reason, I was very excited to discover a company whose aim is to educate our children in a fun and informative way about how to make smart and healthy choices regarding their bodies.  The OrganWise Guys sent me a comprehensive Back to School Kit to review.  Keep reading to find out more and how it could be just the ticket to a healthier kid!

Mealtimes can often be a struggle with Riley unless she is adequately distracted.  This involves her father and I letting her play with a few toys while she eats, singing to her, begging and pleading with her, etc.  Zak!Designs must have had children like my daughter in mind when they created their very cool lines of kids' drinkware and dinnerware.  I was lucky enough to review the Toy Story 3D line of dishes and the following are my thoughts on these products.

PRICE:I reviewed the Toy Story 6-Piece Mealtime Set from Zak!Designs, which retails for $24.99 and included the following:  Right now, you can purchase this set on Amazon.com for $19.99!
