Has anybody out there seen this new hair removal thingy called the no!no! It burns the hair off of your body with Thermicon technology. The reviews I've read say it doesn't hurt but there is a smell of burning hair. Nice, just what I want to smell. Actually I would love to give the no!no! a try. It's supposed to make hair grow back less and less by destroying the hair with a heat wave. Sing it with me "Like a heat wave, burning in my heart er.. Legs"
Anyways this thing is expensive so I'll probably never get the chance to try it but I love to give new products a try and will keep reading reviews to see how well it works. Here are some videos if you are wondering just how this works. I watched them because the no!no! just seems so weird. Weird in a "I want to try that" kind of way.
Sorry about the lack of posts lately. I've been in a no blogging mood lately. Don't know why just haven't been on the computer much. I'll try and do better.
Just thought I would let you know I'm actually still here.
Mom Generations is having a relaunch! They are launching with their brand new name, Mom Generations (formerly Pinks & Blues). Isn't it great! I love their new name. It matches perfectly with their site. If you have never checked them out before, now is the time. They are celebrating with an awesome giveaway. You will have to head on over to find out what they are giving away. But make sure you do it before July 14 at 5 pm EST.
Make sure you also congratulate Jane, Sharon, and Audrey on the launch.
The Smart Mama is giving away a wii package that includes the wii fit as well. I would love to own a wii. They look so fun to play. Best thing about them is that the entire family could play. I've never played one so I'm assuming that even little ones as young as 4 could play. My niece who is 4 can control a computer mouse and keyboard very well so I'm guessing a wii controller would be no problem.
Make sure to leave a green tip and enter before July 22, 2008
That is one of the greatest babywearing giveaways I've ever seen. Count me in! I would love to own all of those. They would be great to have so you can let others try them out and see which carriers work for them and which ones don't.
MomReviews is at the end of her giveaway week. This week you can win a Fancy Nancy doll. Actually, there will be 5 winners. This doll is so cute and fancy that my niece would love her. You have until July 10 to enter to win.
I totally forgot that the Spring Reading Challenge was ending. So I guess I better post my results. Here's my original post and my goals. Let's find out if I met them.
I had 9 books on my list (7 fiction and 2 non-fiction)
Books completed from my list:
Auralia's Colors - which I had a hard time getting into because of all the new words/names of things that aren't real in our world. But I really enjoyed this book and am getting ready to purchase the 2nd book in the series.
Perfecting Kate by Tamara Leigh (also not on my origional list)
I've noticed over the last two reading challenges that I tend to read books that I haven't put on my list. Maybe I'm looking at them like I have to read them therefore they aren't as interesting to read. Kind of like homework I guess. The books on my list are all books I own so I will definitely get to them sometime or another.
The next books I will be reading are books I've read before. The City of Ember books by Jeanne DuPrau. Her fourth book comes out in August and I want to reread them before the last book.
Back in April, Bebe Au Lait launched a line of organic nursing covers. They are simply called Simple Organics by Bebe Au Lait . They use 100% cotton or 100% linen and have beautiful colors.
Right now, Bebe Au Lait is having a Sale. Lots of their Bug & Pickle body products are on clearance. Get those while they still have them. There are also burp cloth grab bags available for 50% off. But make sure you stop by soon or there won't be anything left. While you are there check out some of their new nursing cover patterns and especially their new organic line.
Anita Renfroe is a very funny Comedienne and Mom. You might have seen the YouTube video of her William Tell Overture with everything a Mom says. It is funny and very true. She has a brand new DVD out called, "It's Probably Just My Thyroid." Her unique style is a blend of musical comedy with sass and edge that focuses on things in her life. Anita says, "All my stuff is about my life – it's real and it connects people - and that's a wonderful thing."
She is also the new spokesperson for Luvs. Luvs diapers are less expensive than other brands but offers the same premium leak protection. With prices of groceries and other items rising this is a real concern for many families. Diapers are things you have to have and use everyday for at least 2 years (at the minimum). That's a lot of diapers. I like that Luvs are readily available at my local grocery store and at larger big box stores.
Did you know they have elastic, stretchy sides? I love those type of sides. It allows you to get a nice tight fit and still be comfortable on babies. It's called the Bear Hug Stretch™.
I have a treat for you. Well actually, I have two treats for you. One is a sneak peek of a new video by Anita Renfroe and the other is a coupon for $5 off. First lets see that video.
Now on to the coupon. On June 25, 2008, Luvs is offering a $5 off coupon at their website. Quantities are Limited and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. So if you would like a great deal, head on over there and get a coupon and take a stand against pricier diapers by pledging to choose products that offer premium features for no extra cost.
There is a cute new doll on the scene. Her name is Fancy Nancy and she is my nieces favorite right now. The books are wonderful and fun and sparkly and girly. Right now, This Full House is giving away a Fancy Nancy doll, popcorn, and a gift card to blockbuster. Great right! You have until June 17 to enter.
The Diamond of Darkhold by Jeanne DuPrau - the fourth book in the City of Ember books. It's being released in August 2008.
The City of Ember - the movie. It's being released this October. I can't wait. I saw a preview last night at the movies and was so excited.
Inkdeath - The last book in the Inkheart series by Cornelia Funke. This book comes out in October.
Inkheart - the movie. I know I've posted about this before. It was supposed to be released around Easter of this year but they postponed it till Jan of 2009. Ack! To long to wait.
Would you like to sail away? Metropolitan Mama and Protect-A-Bed is having a great giveaway. They are offering up an all expenses paid cruise for 2 to the Caribbean. There will also be weekly giveaways of Protect-A-Bed products. If you have a mattress, you need to protect it. You have until September 1, 2008 to enter.
Melinda Zook is giving away a flip & tumble bag. These are so great. I love to use reusable bags at the store but they often get forgotten in the car. These can roll up into their own pouch and be put in my purse.
I would love to have one of these. If you want to enter visit Melinda Zook and enter before June 12.
An Island Life and Best Buy have teamed together for an amazing giveaway for Father's Day. You can win a Zune for your husband/father (or you, I won't tell). Head on over and enter before June 13.
Make sure to stop by From Dates to Diapers to see what great gifts you could get for you father or husband. There is also going to be some great giveaways.
