Dreamie Portable Bedding, Won’t Let the Bedbugs Bite!
Dreamie Portable Bedding, (Personal Top Sheet, Bottom Sheet and Pillow Set) began to sound like the answer to a nightmare after I read this incredibly disturbing AAA article about hotel sheets.
You have to be especially careful these days with worries about the swine flu (H1N1) virus running rampant – we’ve all experienced the disastrous results of forced exposure to large groups in small spaces that is unavoidable during the holiday season. Ultimately it is up to you to keep yourself and your family as healthy as possible, and the Dreamie Portable Bedding is a product that might ease some of the dis-ease that comes with holiday travel.
Dreamie is hard to explain – it’s not a sheet, pillow, blanket or sleeping bag, it’s almost like all of them combined! In fact, it makes an excellent liner for a sleeping bag; if everyone in the family has their own Dreamie Personal Bedding insert, there is less washing of the sleeping bag which means less wear, tear and damaging fiber breakdown over time. Plus, its personal pillow keeper means your pillow won’t slip and slide all over the place; it stays exactly where you want it – under your head.
Have you ever slept on someone’s couch, on a sheet that doesn’t cover the couch all the way down to your feet, so you are constantly trying to get comfortable, but instead wind up what I can only describe as “squinched?” Well, now think how nice it would be to have a snug, full sized personal pocket to slip into, tuck your feet away and wrap yourself in a clean familiar little Dreamie Cocoon. Ok, so maybe that’s a little extreme, but Dreamie really does make me think of the phrase “Snug as a Bug in a Rug.” It’s nice to have your own rug to be snug in, and I want to be the ONLY “bug.”
Dreamie is like the sleeping version of Snuggie. It is an innovative product that addresses the issues of our times – many of us have downsized our homes and have less space for guests, many of us are trying to travel more economically in less expensive hotels or trying out campgrounds, less expensive airlines, more road trips and more crashing with friends and family. Dreamie Top Sheet, Bottom Sheet and Pillow Set is the most convenient solution for anxious overnight guests and hectic hosts alike. It is machine washable, fits in any suitcase, and comes in three colors: Espresso, Ivory and Red.
With all of the stress that comes inherent with holiday travel, why not eliminate a little for you and your houseguests or holiday hosts and try the Dreamie, Portable Personal Bedding and experience home away from home.
Big Top Giant Cupcakes for Holiday Baking Mania!
Big Top Cupcake – even MORE of a good thing!?! Cupcakes are a hot item in the part of the world I live in, So-Cal. There are whole bakeries devoted to just cupcakes, and they are pri-cey. Worth it of course, when you feel like having a $7 cupcake – which for me, is not REALLY all that often. We have friends that had a cupcake wedding cake, and another friend whose last birthday cake was cupcakes. Which leads me to thinking, if a little cupcake is GOOD, then a giant cupcake MUST be that much better! Right?
Check out the Big Top Cupcake Silicone Baking Pan – it is 25X the size of a regular cupcake! It bakes the giant cupcakes in two seperate pieces so you can mix and match flavors and even add fillings! Use the special filling insert (included) to hide a secret surprise inside of each and every Big Top Cupcake – fill it with mousse, pudding, whipped cream or even ice cream!
Buying cakes gets expensive, and old after a while – everyone goes to the same stores after all. Why not bring something totally original and fun!? Everyone loves cupcakes, and now you can make a unique giant cupcake to feed everyone! Circus Tent, BeeHive, Giant Kitten, Christmas Tree!! The possibilities are endless, but in case you run out of ideas the Big Top Cupcake Pan comes with the Fast & Easy Idea Book AND as a Bonus you get a set of 3-D animal cookie cutters to populate your Big Top Cupcake Circus! Get great ideas from the photo gallery here.
With the baking holidays just around the corner, start off with some fun Halloween cupcakes – Black Cats, Giant Pumpkins, Scary Witches, - let your imagination run wild!!! Kids love cupcakes but SO do adults, let’s be honest. And decorating is just an excuse to have candy around, am I right?
So, in anticipation of the upcoming holidays, I am thinking of purchasing a Big Top Giant Cupcake Pan and working my way through some Giant Holiday Cupcakes, finishing up with a Fourth of July Rocket Cupcake Extravaganza.
The Perfect Brownie Pan for Perfect Chewy, Gooey Brownies Every Time!
I love baking, especially brownies, so I am really excited about the Perfect Brownie Pan I have seen on tv. If you haven’t seen the ads, the Perfect Brownie Pan is an 11 X 17 non-stick baking pan with a removable bottom, collapsible sides and a non-stick grid that you insert into the pan after you pour in the brownie mix. The 18 squares of the grid mean each brownie bakes individually and comes out perfectly square with the delicious crispy crust on every side. Yum!
I don’t know about you, but I hate when a beautiful pan of brownies that I’ve made for a get-together turns into a pile of messy brownie chunks because they tore when I tried to cut them. The gooier they are, the harder they are to make look nice. Sure they may taste ok, but when you are competing with Martha Stewart wannabes, brownie chunks just don’t cut it.
So, back to the Perfect Brownie Pan. It comes with The Gooey, Chewy Recipe Booklet so you can started baking right away. For those of you who are Brownie-bakers-from-scratch, good for you. Applause, applause. Personally, my favorite brownie “recipe” is on the back of the ”No-Pudge Fudge Brownie Mix,” box! (Tangent: No-Pudge is a delicious low or non-fat boxed brownie mix that I first found at Trader Joe’s but now I see in Ralph’s’ baking aisle. There is no butter in the mix, so depending on your tastes you can use non-fat sour cream, non-fat yogurt, or applesauce for people who are avoiding dairy. My husband is a hater of all things healthy and low-fat and he loves these brownies, so I highly recommend trying them if you are watching the fat and/or dairy. /Tangent)
Enough tangents, I am going to talk about the Perfect Brownie Pan! One of the features I really like is the fact that the pan converts to a serving tray and display stand for your finished masterpiece. Simply remove the grid, drop the sides and voila! a pedestal to display your Perfect Baked Goods.
The Perfect Brownie Pan is not just for brownies either – it works as a regular baking pan for all kinds of baked dishes – cakes, lasagna, casseroles, or use it as a cold tray for delights like marshmallow treats. Once you are done preparing these or many other delicious recipes, simply use the grid to slice it into perfectly proportioned servings. Yes, the non-stick surface of the grid will slice cleanly and easily through the gooiest marshmallow treats! Best part, the entire Perfect Brownie Pan is dishwasher safe. How easy is that?
With the holidays coming I know I am going to be doing a lot of holiday baking, so I think I will get myself an early present and try out The Perfect Brownie brownie baking pan. It actually also comes with a set of ten decorative stencils for extra-fancy desserts. I’m thinking Santa might be extra-nice if he gets one or two Perfect Brownies and a tall glass of cold milk; but just in case, I’ll be giving Santa the gooiest, chewiest, fullest-fat brownies I can make.
Order now in time for the holidays: The Perfect Brownie Pan, Chewy, Gooey Recipe Booklet, and set of Ten Decorative Stencils for only $19.95 + shipping and handling.
Smooth Away for Quick, Painless Hair Removal
Smooth Away is a wildly popular pain-free hair removal product in Europe that is just now starting to get some attention in America, mostly through As Seen on Tv type ads. I bought one, and this is my review:
I got the Smooth Away on a whim – I really, really hate shaving, waxing is painful, and I can’t afford lasers. Besides, it wasn’t that expensive, and I was really curious to see if it did what it claims.
You actually get two Smooth Aways, a large one for larger areas of the body and a mini Smooth Away for smaller areas like the upper lip and chin. You also receive 4 pads of each size that stick to the Smooth Away and a handy carrying case. Getting started is easy – simply remove the adhesive from the back of the pad and place the sticky side onto the groove in the Smooth Away. The pad is covered with microfine crystals that actually buff away the hair without razors, creams, wax, or any pain. The pads feel like a smoother version of an emery board, and you just rub the pad in a clockwise motion, then a counter-clockwise motion, until all of the hair is gone. It is safe for anywhere on your body – from face to arms to bikini area, and it works for guys too!
Verdict – Smooth Away works! I read the instructions which tell you to make sure your skin is clean and dry, free of lotions, etc. I stuck the pad on, moved it in a clockwise motion, then a counter-clockwise motion on a small area of my leg, and the hair was gone. Awesome! I finished up with both legs which didn’t really take that long, and noticed they felt nice and smooth. In addition to buffing away hair, the crystals actually exfoliate your dead skin cells so your skin is left feeling healthier than when you started. I didn’t have to get wet, use a messy cream or a potentially painful razor, and while I wouldn’t necessarily take advantage of this fact, you really could use SmoothAway anywhere. Like on the bus. Which you shouldn’t do. But you could.
Right now you can actually get TWO Smooth-Away painless hair removal kits for the price of ONE ($14,99), simply pay extra shipping and handling. Try this great alternative to shaving or waxing today!
Jupiter Jack Turns Your Car Stereo into a Hands Free Phone
Who should buy a Jupiter Jack? There have been a lot of articles coming out around the country about cracking down on cell phone use while driving, especially by teens, but who really looks good in those ridiculous bluetooth earpieces? Personally, I have been using speakerphone but obviously there are limitations with background noise and sound quality. Enter Jupiter Jack hands free cell phone device.
As Seen on TV, namely Discovery Channel’s “Pitchmen,” Jupiter Jack is a really convenient and cool device to turn your car stereo into a hands free cell phone device. Hands-free is the only type of cell phone use allowed in California, and Jupiter Jack is the easiest and most convenient way to get great call quality safely hands-free.
Jupiter Jack works on any phone in any car – no wires, no plugs, and no hands. JupiterJack is a small device that fits into your phone’s headset port, then just tune your radio to 99.3 FM and all of your calls will be transmitted through your car stereo speakers.
Parents, do you worry about your teenagers being distracted by talking on the phone while driving? You should. According to this article on MSNBC, studies show that teens are the most likely to be involved in cell phone related accidents due to their inexperience at the wheel: “A 2001 report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that 16-year-old drivers have a crash rate three times higher than that of 17-year-olds, five times greater than 18-year-olds and almost 10 times greater than drivers ages 30-59.”
The article also points out that some states have banned teen cell phone use while driving altogether , but for those states where using a hands-free cell phone is still an option, Jupiter-Jack is a safe and inexpensive solution to this growing problem.
For a limited time, Jupiter Jack is offering two hands-free devices for half the price of one – only two (2) payments of $10 each plus shipping & handling (this offer not available in stores). That’s TWO (2) Jupiter Jacks for only $20 + shipping & handling. Buy JupiterJack today!
