{Review} The Snugg iPad 2 Executive Case Cover and Stand in Black Leather

The Snugg iPad 2 Executive Case Cover and Stand

I recently received the Snugg iPad 2 Executive Case Cover and Stand in black leather for review and allow me to say that I am completely in love with it. I'm a proud owner of an iPad for about two years now and have been through iPad cases like crazy. Being a frugal mom, I haven't invested a lot of money on iPad cases. Consequently, I've ended up with low-quality cases. In just a few months of normal wear and tear, the cases start to rip on the sides and the stitching pulls away at the seams. … [Read more...]

During the Getting Gorgeous event, Thyme Maternity was there to showcase their wonderful products for mothers and new moms-to-be. I'm not pregnant or even close to becoming a new mommy since I have three kids of my own and my shop is shut down (just being real here..lol) but since my co-worker is expecting her first baby, I wanted to find out what Thyme Maternity was all about. The people representing Thyme Maternity at Getting Gorgeous were awesome! They were full of information and … [Read more...]

Getting Gorgeous 2013 was Fantabulous, As Usual!

Getting Gorgeous is one of the hottest beauty events around, if you ask me. I had the privilege of attending Getting Gorgeous at the Metropolitan Pavilion in New York City just a few weekends ago. It’s one of those beauty events that are invite-only and if you got an invitation, you know you were in for a real treat. They only invite about 150 bloggers so I was beyond excited when I received my tickets for this event. Since I’m a full-time working mom who works outside of the home, … [Read more...]

Let’s Talk About Date Night

May 5, 2013 By 13 Comments
20130505-122836.jpg

Ahhh Date night -- It's a wonderful thing between two people or sometimes more. It's a time where you can just hang out, have a few drinks, eat and relax. It's especially wonderful when you can talk to your spouse without any interruptions from the kids and just talk about ANYTHING on date night. THAT is our dilemma. But isn't that the main reason couples go on date night anyway? To be alone as husband and wife. To listen to each other as a lover and friend? To remind one another that … [Read more...]

I’m a Coffee Snob — There, I Said It!

April 26, 2013 By 2 Comments
Coffee

I cannot deny I'm a coffee snob. And it’s all thanks to my beloved Keurig Brewer. It's always ready to go with just one button, always consistent and never has any issues, thank goodness! It gives me delicious coffee each and every time. I can brew it strong or weak - however I want it and it doesn’t JUST make coffee - it makes so much more! After owning a Keurig for over 3 years, I can't drink coffee from just anywhere. There's a few places where I get coffee from just because I know … [Read more...]

First Alert P1000 Atom Smoke Alarm Review

April 9, 2013 By 2 Comments
First Alert Logo

Did you know that over one-third (37 percent) of home fire deaths occur in homes without smoke alarms? That's a lot if you ask me. That is exactly why the NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) recommends that smoke alarms be installed in every bedroom and on every level of a home. In addition, alarms should be tested on a monthly basis and batteries changed at least two times a year. If you have a bad memory like me, the best time to check your smoke alarms is during daylight savings time … [Read more...]

It's not too often that I attend concerts -- although it's not by preference, but I do enjoy going to a good concert especially when it's with music I enjoy listening to and of course dancing to. Billboard is presenting its fourth annual Billboard en Concierto concert series leading up to the Billboard Latin Music Awards in Miami later this month. The outstanding seven city, by invitation only, music series kicked off April 2 in the House of Blues in Houston and will feature live … [Read more...]
