Twirly Hanger *CLOSED*

Twirly Hanger Review

The Twirly Hanger is a nice size rounded hook with different color balls on the end to make it look decorative. You can hang your necklaces, headbands, bracelets and belts (if they fit over the ball) on here and take them off easily.

So often when you have several items that are connected (such as a hooked necklace or hairband) you have to pull all of the items off to get to the one you want. The hanger at the top makes it easy to hang, you can even hang it on your closet rod.

I didn’t have issues with my neckaces getting caught up as I decided to get the ones that were on the inside first.

I would think with too many necklaces there might be some tangling, but with the 8 or so I had on here…I didn’t have any issues at all. Things aren’t going to fall off because of the inverted “U” shape.  The video shows many headbands being able to be loaded on here.

I think it would be great for children as well as adults to use…

Campus Quilt Review and Giveaway. (They Rock!) *CLOSED*

I can’t say enough about Campus Quilt Company and how happy I am with this family keepsake.  There are so many times we keep special things…but they are bagged or boxed up and we might see them every several years and have a happy memory for a few minutes…and then repack it.

The best way to honor a special memory is to display those most special memories. Not everything….but just those special few. This is one great way to be able to display many in one spot. They specialize in T-shirt quilts…I just gave them a hum-dinger!
They are very generously giving away a $150 gift card towards a quilt or pillow. (Please keep in mind this will not be finished by Christmas)

The Power Shelf Review and Giveaway *CLOSED*

This is a power shelf…kind of interesting isn’t it? It is a sturdy metal shelf that replaces your old outlet cover. You just take out the screw and pull off the old cover and replace it with your shelf. You can use it for anything you would like to plug in. Phones work great of course, but clocks, handheld games or ipods, be creative!
I really like the design that there is a place to wrap your cord around the neck of it so that you don’t have those “dangling cords” that you so often have. There is also a little slide resistant pad you can put on your phone or device to keep it from slipping….but I didn’t see a need for it. Mine sat just fine without any fear of falling.

I also tried my little power screwdriver on it and ended up using it for that rather than my phone. I have this outlet in my kitchen and I keep my phone in my office to charge.

The only problem I came across with this particular model was that  I did not have enough outlets at the higher levels where I would want to have my phones. But….they have taken care of that issue. If you look at their products, they have some that are a long neck and you can place them so the shelf is on the top (not bottom like I have it in my pictures) so you can make use of the lower outlets. (Brilliant) This is the Original Power Shelf, they have them for many other purposes; laptops, power cords, ect… and Lynn Fetzer Westmeister also has a new one coming soon that I think looks wonderful…it is for your curling irons and blow dryers!

You can see a review on CBS 2 Chicago TV on it here and also the TV commercial for it.

To Purchase Your Own: Go to Buy Power Shelf to see the products and see where to purchase.

The original power shelf is $15.95 (plus shipping)  but be sure to check out all the other Power Shelves there are.

To Win:

Required:
1) Go to Buy Power Shelf and tell me which power shelf you like the best. Come back here and leave me a comment.
2) Your e-mail needs to be either on your comment or easily accessible in your profile.

Deluxe Cosmetic Organizer Review and Giveaway! *CLOSED*

Ok ladies…this is cool! This is an “A-lister” cosmetic organizer by Lori Greiner. For those of you with oodles of makeup….you need one of these. You will have a great time organizing all your make-up.
It gives you the feel of one of those really nice jewelry boxes (which they also have). It is a heavy and the outside is made of wood. The inside is lined with a washable vinyl.

As you can see there there is a top lid that opens up and has a mirror on it.
I don’t have a whole lot of make up myself….so I used the right hand side for some of my basic everyday jewelry.

On each side there are 2 swing out compartments. The left has top sections for smaller items along the top. There are slots for 72 lipsticks or mascaras etc.
This grid is removable also if you don’t like them. (I love them)

This second tray down has dividers that are meant to put your compacts in. My compact was too tall for this to work, but many of the wouldn’t be. Be creative in what you can use this for.

Like I said I do not have a lot of make up, so I put some of my jewelry on this side…that works for me. But you can put anything in these compartments that you need to…bottle of concealer, face creams etc.

The center bottom sections are open for what ever you need to put in them. I used the one for my compact. If you look on the back wall there are also slots that you can put taller things.
I have been very pleased with this organizer….you can use your imagination in how and where you want to put your cosmetics.  This cosmetic organizer was given to me without charge to review for my readers.  (See disclosure)

To Purchase Your Own

Go to Lori Greiners site and purchase your own for $72.00.

To Win one of your own!

1) Go to Lori Greiners site and tell me what colors the Deluxe Cosmetic Organizer comes in.You can also see their pictures of how they load their cosmetics..which are much better pictures than mine. Then come back here and comment. Your e-mail address needs to either be on this post or easily accessible.

OGIO Backpack Review and Giveaway *CLOSED*

I have to tell you that my son was sooo excited for this review! He looked at several backpacks that could have been reviewed from OGIO and he picked “that cool one mom” backpack. The OGIO company was nice enough to give us one to review (See disclosure). What I was happy about with the OGIO Mastermind was that the straps were wide, and heavily padded. He complains every year about his backpack straps hurting and they almost always break before the end of the year. He has over a mile to walk to school everyday and with all of the stuff he always carries I know that he is happy with these straps, as am I.

The quality of this backpack is seen from the straps to the interior.
Here is the description of the different pockets straight off the site:
Back panel side entry padded laptop sleeve / Front vertical file organizer / Large center storage area / Power cord and mouse storage / Four large exterior pockets / Neoprene top grab handle / Heavy duty reinforcements / Airline ticket sleeve / Weatherproof fleece lined audio pocket with headphone exit port / Sliding sternum strap / Deluxe organizer panel / Fits most 17″ laptop / Laptop sleeve 17″h x 13″w x 2″d

As you can see this backpack can be used for kids, but there is no reason that an adult could not use this one!

To Purchase Your Own:
Go to OGIO to purchase. By the way…this company has sooooo many other products! There are golfbags, luggage…you really need to check it all out.

To Win:

1) Go to  OGIO and find the tell me the 2 other colors this backpack comes in.  Then come back here and comment.  Your e-mail address needs to either be on this post or easily accessible.

Greeting Card Keeper Review and Giveaway *CLOSED*

I’ll tell you what…some of the great ideas that people come up with! This will solve a lot of problems for those of you who love to keep their greeting cards.

For an organizer…Greeting cards can be one of those…”Oh no…she has all the greeting cards that anyone ever gave her from the time she was a baby” ….moments.
People have a hard time getting rid of them.
What do I normally tell them and what I am still going to stick to even with this product?
Save only those greeting cards that are VERY memorable and that have personal messages inside. If it is card from graduation 20 years before and it was from a friend of your parents that you hardly knew…throw it out! (recycle is best)
But if it was a Mother’s Day card that your child wrote a special heart felt message in to you…then it is ok to keep it.
But here is a solution to the “keeping it” cards!
These albums not only let you slid your greeting cards into a sleeve to protect…it lets you slide your OPEN card into a sleeve so not only can you see the front…you can see and read the inside. So simple…yet ingenious!

She has 2 size albums – Large albums hold cards with a closed dimension of up to 9-1/4″ X 5-3/4″ in size.
Medium albums hold cards with a closed dimension of up to 8″ X 5″ in size.
There are several colors available and they are very reasonably priced. $10-$16.99 and that includes the card sleeves.
I really think these are great! You can keep your special cards protected from damage and be able to look at them anytime you want to enjoy. They are not stuck away in some box in the basement or stuffed in drawers.
To me the only negative I see is that even the large is not going to fit some of those really large cards you get, but the majority of your greeting cards will fit into one of these 2 albums.
The other issue I noticed was that I had a card that had several folds in it (one that stretched out) But I just put it so that the front showed and then the end page where the personal message was written and that is what is most important anyway. So the couple negatives I noticed really aren’t negatives at all.

I would highly recommend these albums if you are someone who does like to save some of your greeting cards, then your can keep these albums on a shelf or place them on a coffee table where they can be enjoyed.
