A Birthday Celebration and Giveaway

This weekend, my kids and I will be headed out to this very special little girl's 5th birthday party.

Noah Levi Dalton  R.I.H. Little Man

Pictured above is triumphant little Miss Naomi Lei Frances celebrating yet another milestone in her life.  Her mother was just at 25 weeks gestation when, during a routine checkup, she learned she was

carrying twins.  At the very same time, she was immediately admitted to the hospital with complications.  Less than a week later, Naomi Lei and her twin brother, Noah Levi Dalton made their grand entrance into the world.  Sadly, handsome little Noah's short life ended just two weeks later, but he left behind a little fighter of a sister like none other.

Weighing only 1 pound, 4 oz. at birth, this beautiful little preemie had a long road ahead of her.  According to https://penut-trial.org/node/43, while the survival rate of a preemie at 26 weeks gestation is fairly high, there is only a 23 percent chance the child will escape some sort of disability.  Apparently, Miss Naomi had herself a spot in the top 23 percent reserved, because now, at 5 years old, this little champion sings, dances, counts well past 100, reads, writes, and more!  

While her 5th birthday was earlier this week, we will be celebrating this upcoming weekend.  Now, if you promise not to tell, I'm going to show you something she will be getting for her big day.  As you can likely tell from her pictures, Miss Naomi is definitely a diva in the making.  With that said, I know she is going to love this amazing beauty set from Little Cosmetics.  

*I received this product free in exchange for my honest review/opinions

Her mother may want to kill me at first, but she'll be delightfully surprised to learn that, while the makeup in this set looks amazingly realistic, it's 100% FAKE!!  With that said, Miss Naomi can climb up to the mirror and apply as much non-messy eyeshadow, blush and lipstick as her little heart desires.  The fantastic set comes with everything pictured above, including:

• Powder Compact with Plastic Mirror 
• Pink Blush Compact
• Two Lip Glosses with roller ball
• Two Glitter Pots
• Two Eye Shadow Palettes
• Makeup Brush Set
• An adorably stylish Cosmetic Bag

I can't wait to watch her play with it.  When she comes to visit, she's constantly wanting to dress up like her favorite Princess, Princess Elsa.  Now, she can take dress up one step further with this fantastic set.  

If you've ever had the opportunity to watch a preemie grow from a tiny, fragile baby in an incubator to a strong, smart, amazing little person, you understand the amount of joy I feel as I witness this beauty grow up. She was definitely the smallest baby I've ever had the opportunity to hold, which impacted my level of appreciation for life and for the parent chosen to raise such a unique creation.  

Now... I know Miss Naomi would LOVE for your child to celebrate with her!  With that said, we're going to give a special child in your life an opportunity to win one of the beauty sets JUST LIKE the one that Miss Naomi will be receiving for her birthday. Just enter in the Rafflecopter below!

Life Tire Gauge ~~~REVIEW and GIVEAWAY~~~

As a mother of a young adult (although she'll always be my "baby" girl), I am always concerned about the safety of my daughter when she is out and about in her vehicle.  From low tires to car accident, numerous things can happen while traveling.  Mountain Crest Products, however, has taken all of the possibilities into consideration when it comes to the spectacular design of their Life Tire Gauge, perfect for a variety of scenarios.

When I first received the opportunity to receive the Life Tire Gauge for free in exchange for my honest review, I was excited to keep this product for myself.  However, as soon as I received it and took note of all of it's valuable tools, I knew that I would have to give it to my child.  This tire gauge does so much more than just provide a nice, clear, illuminated display, it provides a myriad of tools that could prove to be valuable,  perhaps even life-saving, in some cases.  Packed inside the hand-held tool, you'll find a safety hammer, phillips screwdriver, led flashlight, seatbelt cutter, pliers, tire-thread measuring tool, and more.

Ok, so I'm the person who worries about things that may be impossible, or have a high probability of NOT happening.  Nevertheless, things DO happen, and I'm all about being "proactive" (or, that's my defense).  Take, for instance, the possibility of sliding off of an icy road into a retention pond.  Admittedly, I've never known anyone who that's happened to, but I've read plenty of news stories about such tragic situations.  Knowing exactly how to save yourself in a sinking car is definitely a priority in escaping such a situation, and this Life Tire Gauge, equipped with a window-breaking tool may prove to be extremely helpful in a situation like this.

A more common situation that most of us have probably encountered is losing, or dropping, something in the car at night.  While most cars are equipped with interior lights, they normally don't provide enough illumination to find something that might drop onto the floorboard of the car, or under the seats.  The led flashlight that is attached to this tool may prove to be amazingly helpful in situations like this, providing more than enough illumination to see clearly under the seats of your car, or perhaps even help to read a set of handwritten directions in the dark when trying to find an address.

The possibilities of this tool are actually endless, and to top it off, it does a superb job in measuring the pressure of your tires, of course, which is the primary function that it's designed to accomplish. While Amazon Prime members can order this valuable tool for under $30.00, Mountain Crest Products has given me the opportunity to award one of these spectacular tools to one of my readers. Will it be you?  Maybe so, but first, you have to enter through the Rafflecopter below!!  Good Luck!!!

LG G4 Tempered Glass Screen Protector *REVIEW and GIVEAWAY*

My story is a common one, actually. It goes a little something like this...

• Girl gets fancy-schmancy smartphone. 
• Girl drops fancy-schmancy smartphone, in the toilet. 
• Fancy-schmancy smartphone is now a fancy-schmancy paperweight that smells like soap and sanitizer. 
• Girl decides she's probably not quite ready for a fancy-schmancy cell phone, or the bill that comes along with it, so girl goes back to boring old flip phone. 

****Fast-forward to a year, or two, later....

• Girl decides she needs fancy-schmancy smartphone back in her life. 
• Girl finds great deal and snags herself a new fancy-schmancy smartphone. 
• One week later, girl's husband drops fancy-schmancy smartphone and fancy-schmancy smartphone imprint can still be seen on back of girl's husband's head. 
• Girl decides it's not worth the money to replace, as cellphone carrier insurance plans are now not insurance plans as we once knew them, but only discount plans in case you drop, drown, or destroy your fancy-schmancy cellphone. With that said, girl decides to forego fancy-shmancy replacement phone. 

 ****Fast-forward to the next year....

• Girl saves up some extra money and decides she'll try fancy-schmancy smartphone yet again.
• Girl gets an awesome new LG G3 and loves it.
• One week later, girl puts awesome new LG G3 in her lap on her way to work.
• Girl needs caffeine in order to complete the drive.
• Girl gets out of vehicle, forgetting that awesome new LG G3 is in lap.
• Girl hears *SMACK* on ground
• R.I.P. awesome new LG G3
• Girl is over it.

Treat My Feet ***REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY***

Admittedly, my feet are probably the most neglected part of my body.  While I would love to have worn sandals and flip flops this Summer, I chose not to embarrass myself or scare the heck out of anyone who might have the unfortunate luck to come face to face with my pair of 5-toed monsters.  However, I recently received the opportunity to try "Treat My Feet," an exfoliating foot peel that boasts the ability to provide me with baby soft feet after just one use!  

Before using the foot peel, my feet were horrendous; Dry, calloused, stinky... you name it.  Sure, it's embarrassing to admit, but on the other hand... Life is about recognizing your areas of opportunity and maximizing upon them, right?  Treating your body right is certainly one of those priority areas.  After all, while my feet might have felt fine the first time I visited my 20's, life takes it's toll, and at 20-something the second time around, I can tell you... they are screaming for attention!!  

Attention is exactly what my feet got with "Treat My Feet."  We rented a Redbox movie this evening and I thought, "what better time" to take the opportunity to use my foot peel.  The process takes between 60 to 90 minutes, and,  while you can potentially walk around in the booties provided with this treatment, I didn't want to take the chance of making a mess.  However, unlike other similar products, the moisturizing socks can be snugly secured around your ankle, allowing you more freedom to move around without making a mess.  

Before slipping your feet into the booties, it's important to wash your feet in warm, soapy water, followed by a 15-30 minute soak.  Then, after drying, you can proceed to place your feet into the moisturizing sock.  To say it feels like a spa experience is truly an understatement... and while your feet will continue to shed dead skin for several days after the initial treatment, you truly will initially experience phenomenal immediate results.  

Now.... for something else phenomenal.  Not only was I provided with a pair of Treat My Feet moisturizing socks for free in exchange for my honest review, I was also provided the opportunity to give not one, not two, but THREE pair of these fantabulous treatments away to my readers.....   If you want to experience softer, smoother feet, then you won't want to miss this opportunity!  Head to the Rafflecopter below to enter!!!

Azure Naturals - Ultimate Ocean Minerals ****GIVEAWAY****

Guess what!?! It's my very first giveaway, and I'm so excited!!! I've recently been given the opportunity to try the Azure Naturals - Ocean Minerals product line in exchange for my review, and with that, the opportunity to give this set of 4 amazing products to one of my awesome readers!

If you're anything like me, in your 20's (again), with a desire to refresh and rejuvenate your skin in an effort to maintain a youthful glow for as long as possible, then you'll love the opportunity to add these must-have products to your beauty supply closet.  Here's what's included in this wonderful prize package:

Ultimate Ocean Mineral - Organic Facial Cleanser  -  This powerful, yet gentle cleanser is designed to renew and repair while promoting collagen production in an effort to restore firmness and elasticity.  

Ultimate Ocean Mineral - Organic Hydration Creme -  There's something about the words "ultimate," "organic," and "hydration" that draw me to these products.  Just the combination of those words together evoke thoughts of healthy, moisturized, hydrated, soft-to-the-touch skin.  This non-greasy moisturizer penetrates deep into your skin, locking in moisture and leaving a healthy, refreshing glow.

Ultimate Ocean Mineral - Organic Facial Toner -  The facial toner is designed to work harmoniously with the other products in an effort to refresh and renew, creating brighter and more youthful skin. 

Ultimate Ocean Mineral - Seaweed Hydration Mask -  I've been a fan of hydration masks for as long as I remember.  There's nothing like the refreshing feeling left after applying a mask.  The pleasant scent evokes a peaceful feeling as you relax and wait for the mask to dry.  Afterwards, you'll be amazed by the results of softer, firmer, glowing skin.

I'm super excited to have this opportunity to share these fantastic products with you, and hope you enjoy these great products as much as I have!
