Classified Cosmetics ERA Everyday Spray On Foundation | Urban Chic Boutique

July 29, 2010

I was recently introduced to one of the coolest makeup products that I have seen in a long time. Oh, and don’t let my term ‘coolest’ age me, ’cause I really do feel like a giddy teen over this product. It’s called Classified Cosmetics ERA Everyday Spray On Foundation, and apparently it’s been on the market for a while. This upsets me a little since I only learned of it recently, but I am so thankful for the trendy online shop Urban Chic Boutique for the great introduction. Airbrush? Foundation? What is it? It’s foundation, ladies, but in an aerosol [...]

ShooShoos Giveaway

July 26, 2010

Last week, I posted my ShooShoos review for Summer 2010. Not only do I adore the pair I chose, but the Twins are in love with them too – sporting them indoors, out and sometimes sneaking them to bed too. I got their 2nd year birthday photos done a few days ago, and they each wore a pair of their ShooShoos for their photo session. Not only did their shoes match their attire and support that fresh summer look, but it perfectly represented their sense of fashion and style – shoe-loving toddlers is who they are! One lucky My Organized [...]

Terry Fox: A Story Of Hope

July 26, 2010

I was just a toddler when Terry Fox set out on a mission to run across Canada to raise money to fight Cancer with his Marathon Of Hope, yet I know the story well. Terry Fox was diagnosed with bone Cancer at age 18, and only days after diagnosis his leg was amputated, and he wore a leg prosthesis. Being active and athletic his whole life, he was walking and running only a couple of months after he got his prosthesis. Terry Fox set out on the Eastern Coast, with only a few witnesses seeing him off on his journey. [...]

Zuvo Water Filtration System | Review and Giveaway

July 22, 2010

I think most people prefer not to drink water from their kitchen sink. Regardless of time of year, mine just doesn’t taste right. We have a water cooler in the house, yet I have realized that it’s actually quite expensive to own {filters, cleaning, refills on the water containers}. As well, I have been really trying to maximize space in our house, and my water cooler takes up a ton of room that I could use. Another thought is the safety aspect. I often think of how easy it would be for the Twins to tip the cooler, and all [...]

My Living Stories iTunes Apps Review & $25 iTunes Gift Card Giveaway

July 18, 2010

I recently just got an iPhone, and it’s been really fun seeking out great apps for myself and the kids. I cannot believe all there is out there! I have realized how handy kids’ apps are for those times when you need a good distraction. Running late for dinner, long waits at the doctors’ office, or just hearing ‘I’m Bored!’ while trying to get some grocery shopping done. Yep, kids’ apps have become quite the lifesaver for me. Alas, it is true that there is an app for everything, so it’s always nice to get some suggestions on recommended ones, [...]

Pop Weaver Microwave Popcorn Offers A Healthier Snacking Choice

July 18, 2010

When choosing microwave popcorn, I am always torn between the buttery movie taste and the healthy varieties. For my own taste, there was no healthy option that wasn’t bland and boring. I recently got to try the all new microwave popcorn made from Pop Weaver – and now I don’t have to sacrifice taste for a smart and healthy choice! Other brands use Palm Oil, which is so high in saturated fat. As well. Palm Oil also contributes to deforestation in tropical areas, and importing it uses a lot of fuel. Pop Weaver just introduced the first-ever microwave popcorn made [...]

Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days on DVD

July 14, 2010

I grew up watching Sesame Street, learning, singing and laughing with Big Bird, Grover, Kermit and the whole gang. And, I’m happy that that Sesame Street is still on TV and my kids love to watch it, since it’s a huge bonus if a childrens’ program doesn’t cause a headache! Yet, I can’t help but to watch today’s episodes and think back to the way ‘it used to be’, with previous actors and skits. As great as the new episodes are, there’s that admiration for the old shows that parents all recall and adore. Given this, can you imagine how [...]

As a Mom tester for PTPA Media, I often get to test more products than you read about on My Organized Chaos. Already an award winner with PTPA Media, Jumpstart has a new product, a Wii game called Get Moving: Family Fitness.

Atkins Nutritionals | Review & Giveaway

July 6, 2010

Atkins. What does that word mean to you? For me, it means ‘success’, since I credit Atkins to helping me lose 40 pounds {this was a year and a half after my first daughter was born}. Yet if you think I ate only bacon, cheese and eggs – you are totally wrong. Atkins has evolved a lot since it first gained public attention for being a ‘fad diet’ over 10 years ago. Atkins has proven to be a sustainable and realistic lifestyle change that comes when you choose a variety of smart foods. When I was successful on Atkins years [...]

The Belly Burner | Review and Giveaway

July 4, 2010

After the birth of my oldest, I didn’t love my belly – but it wasn’t on my hate list either. Yet after having the Twins – watch out! Seriously, my duo did a number on my tummy and trying to get it back to a somewhat ‘normal’ state has been so frustrating. Perhaps you may have seen The Belly Burner, developed by celebrity fitness trainer Bobby Waldron, on TV. It increases your caloric burn by raising your internal core temperature. Though it is a system that works by diet and exercise, The Belly Burner’s unique aspect is the belt, which [...]
