Win a KLUTCHclub Box of Goodies (Fitness/Health)! 

05/20/2012

Reviewed by Chrissy Bernal

I was really excited about this month’s review and giveaway.  According to the website, KLUTCHclub is a monthly subscription service that sends a hand-picked and “themed” box of holistic health, fitness and wellness products – organic protein bars, workout wear, skincare products, teas, etc. – right to your doorstep every month, making it a no brainer to incorporate healthier choices with ease. Read more about it below and learn how to get the chance to win a KLUTCHclub box of your own!

KLUTCHclub

What intrigued me about KLUTCHclub was that it’s like a wine of the month club, but with Health & Wellness products.  As women, we are constantly bombarded with advertisements for new products that promise to make us thinner, healthier and happier, but you could spend a fortune trying out new products.  A KLUTCHclub membership allows you to try out new products (minimum $50 worth of products) for only about $17/month!

In addition to the box of goodies each month, members get access to a Members-Only section of their website.  While I was waiting for my box to arrive, I logged in to check it out.  The members-only section has helpful articles and special promotions.  It only had about 7 discounts, but two of them were very good such as a $25 discount off any order of Yoga wear.  There was also a section that described a program called KLUTCHdollars that will launch soon.  Members can earn KLUTCHdollars and redeem them for free boxes!  KLUTCHclub also donates 10% to Bright Pink, an organization that focuses on prevention and early detection of breast and ovarian cancers.

KLUTCHclubIt was like Christmas when my box arrived.  I opened the shoebox-sized box and couldn’t believe how much was tucked in there.  My box was full of over $60 worth of products to help me “Spring Clean” my body.  I was thinking it would be a bunch of sample sizes, but these products were full-sized. There was coconut water, three different tea flavors, a large bottle of Flax Oil, a bottle of organic facial cleanser, an energy drink mix, a fruit and seed snack bag, a Kind bar, lentil chips and there was even a Power Yoga DVD! 

It was really exciting to try all the products.  I didn’t even know some of these products were out there, so it was nice to be introduced to them.  For the price, a membership really is a no-brainer.  Memberships can be for 1 month, 3 months or a year.  It was a great opportunity to try out products with such a little cost!

Pamper Yourself with a FREE Massage from My Signature Massage 

04/16/2012

Reviewed by Angela Bickford

Who doesn't wish they could be pampered? Get away from life for an hour and experience a relaxing massage that soothes tired muscles and washes away stress? Well, just in time for Mother's Day, our next review and giveaway will do just that...

DeAnn Sumner, owner of My Signature Massage, is giving one lucky reader a FREE hour-long Swedish Massage!

 

my signature massage

Here's a little bit about DeAnn: DeAnn studied massage therapy at the Phoenix School of Holistic Health in Houston. She received her massage license from the Texas Department of State Health Services in October 2000 and is also a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals organization.

Here's what she has to say about her massage philosophy: "After working in a spa that expected each massage to be exactly the same, I desired to created a massage practice where I could truly listen to and address the individual needs and issues of each client. Even the same client will have different needs at each appointment, and it is my goal to make each massage session as individualized as possible.  To better help my clients, I have expanded my massage knowledge by taking many Continuing Education classes, including Pregnancy Massage, Chair Massage and Aromatherapy."

A little more about my experience: ​I was so excited when DeAnn approached me about reviewing her services - I had just had triplets who spent a good deal of time in the NICU and needless to say, was carrying some stress that was in need of being relieved. I knew a massage would do the trick. I'm no stranger to massages - I've had them at cookie cutter places like Massage Envy (not a fan), and high-end individualized spas (better, but still sometimes a bit rushed/standard), but I'd never gone to someone's house before. DeAnn works out of her home, and so at first, I wasn't sure how it'd go. I was pleasantly surprised by how professional, comfortable, and relaxing it was! DeAnn worked with my schedule, and when I arrived, she led me into her 'office', which is right at the entrance of her home. It was fully closed off and made to feel like a spa-like environment - dimly lit, warm, rich tones and decor, soothing music... She asked me about my specific needs and history, which was important to me. She offered me water and explained her massage techniques. I could get undressed to my comfort level, and during the massage, she made sure to use covering techniques that left me feeling comfortable and secure with maintaining my privacy. One thing I asked her about was how she kept the home quiet for clients (she has young children). She explained that she and her husband had arranged for him to take the kids out when clients came around, maintaining a quiet, chaos-free environment to work in. This was reassuring since I knew I'd be back for more massages and it was important to me to have a calming place to escape to. She started the massage off with aromatherapy, soft music, and calming conversation and tones. If I wanted to talk, we could; stay quiet, that too. She worked each area of my body, making sure to address the areas I said to focus on, and her level of pressure was perfect. If I wasn't taking mental notes for this review, I would have been relaxed to sleep! At the end of the massage, she gave me as much time as I needed to relax and get dressed, and then again offered water. I will definitely be setting up more appointments, as she's both affordable (the Swedish Massage is $55 an hour - you can't beat that!) and comfortable to be around.

Send Postcards with YOUR Images with this Postcardly.com Prize Pack! 

04/02/2012

 

Reviewed by Angela Bickford

It's our latest review and giveaway! Postcardly.com is a service that allows users to send emails of text and images that can be sent out to loved ones in the form of a postcard. Read more below about this great service and see how you can win 10 FREE postcards of your own!


This service was pretty cool. My babies have been in the NICU and haven't been allowed many visitors. This was an easy way, in my limited time, to snap an updated picture, type in some quick text highlighting their progress, and shoot out an email to the site, which would then send a postcard out to my intended recipient. How do they know who it goes to? That's pretty neat also. Once you sign up for the service, which has several plans available, you set up a personal email address for each recipient. For example, if you're sending a postcard to grandma and grandpa, the email you set up might be 'gpa_gma@postcardly.com', which would be attached to their names and mailing address. Then, whenever you wanted to send a card to them, you'd send the email directly to that specific address. It's that easy! I sent postcards to several family members. Here's what one of them had to say:

"I liked the personalized note on the back. The message could be the same, but the names are unique to the recipient. What a great way to communicate!"

Another thought that it was a really cute surprise to have gotten in the mail, since mailed letters are so rare these days.

Here's a sample postcard I sent myself of my two babies. Postcardly.com recommends sending a test card to yourself to see what it looks like. 

 

Two things I discovered after doing so:
1. If you create an image in Photoshop like I did (so that I could combine the two images into one postcard), be sure your resolution is set to high - my postcard came out a little blurry. The site will use whatever image you send, so if it's not high quality, like mine wasn't, then it will turn out that way. When I sent another card out to the grandparents and used a better image, it turned out much better, so I know it was user error on my end.
2. Whatever subject line you put will be on the card, as will a signature line. See my card above where it says 'Test Card' - that was my subject line. I should have either left a subject off, or used the 'Dear' line as my subject line. In addition, on one of the cards I sent to my parents, I left my email signature on the card and it, too, got printed! Lesson learned!

All in all, I really liked the service, and will probably continue to use it. Memberships range from $1 per postcard to as little as $0.67 per postcard, which I find to be a pretty good deal for a personalized note. The one thing I found strange, but that wouldn't keep me away, was that I sent four postcards on the same day and they all arrived on different days, even though they were all going to the same city; one came within two days, the last one after a total of eight days! Most postcards though, came within a very timely manner and the recipients loved them, so I was happy with the service overall.

Lovable Labels Review & Giveaway 

03/18/2012

Reviewed by April Pearson

Summer is quickly approaching! Are you sending your child to camp this summer? I have the perfect product for you! Even if your child doesn't go to camp but you take them to daycare, school, church or anywhere else where they need their belongings labeled, this is an awesome product for you, too! 

Lovable Labels

Lovable Labels has generously agreed to give away one Ultimate Camp Pack of labels to one of our lucky readers!

I recently had the privilege of trying out a Camp Pack of labels from Lovable Labels, a mom-invented product that launched into a company in 2003. 

In the Ultimate Camp Pack of labels, there are 151 stick-on labels including 15 Sticker Labels, 40 Slimline Labels, 12 Shoes Labels, 72 Press n' Stick Clothing DOTS, 12 Square Labels, plus 2 Mini-Metal Tags for labeling my kids' stuff! I was able to pick from over 12 designs/colors and 45 icons to customize my labels. I chose the Polka Dot Me pack with a generic 'Pearson Kid' name so that I could use them on all of my little kids' belongings. The pack came in a handy 'book' of labels which is great for keeping them all together. The colors are clearly printed and vibrant. The labels are thick and strong. Label Cup

According to the website, Lovable Labels are dishwasher and microwave safe, waterproof and UV resistant. As hard as my kids are on their belongings, these are pretty great features. I put a label on my son's sippy cup right away, and it has been run through the dishwasher several times already. The label has not faded or peeled off of his cup! 

I also put the shoe labels in all three of my kids' most-used shoes. This was a true test of durability because I think their feet are excessively sweaty! Ewww! The labels have not faded, worn through, or come out. While I did notice a slight 'slippage' from the glue back, it has not presented any stickiness problems, and they are still stuck in there! I think these shoe labels are especially helpful to have when we visit any play place where all the kids throw their shoes in those cubbies! No confusion as to whom they belong now that they have their Lovable Labels shoe labels! 

How to Use Lovable Labels

The Ultimate Camp Pack costs $44.95, and with 153 labels I think this is a great value at less than 30 cents per label. You really can't find many things these days that are this durable and will last this long for only 30 cents! Plus I feel this is more than enough labels to last my three (soon to be four) little ones for a while. I'm looking forward to using these labels on my daughter's supplies when she starts kindergarten in the fall. 

Allergy Medical Alert

If this particular pack of labels isn't what you're looking for, Lovable Labels offers several different types of labels and packages. Just a few examples are Allergy & Medical Alert labels and bracelets, Toy Bin labels, Outdoor Bin labels, Crafty Mom labels, Spice labels and too many more to list!
