Apple iPad Wi-Fi 16 GB – 3rd generation

Pick up the iPad and suddenly, it’s clear. You’re actually touching your photos, reading a book, playing the piano. Nothing comes between you and what you love. To make that hands-on experience even better, they made the fundamental elements of iPad better – the display, the camera, the wireless connection. All of which makes the third-generation iPad capable of so much more than you ever imagined. Everything you do with iPad, you do through its large, beautiful display. And when the display is better, the entire iPad experience is better. The Retina display on the iPad features a 2048-by-1536 resolution, 44-percent greater color saturation, and an astounding 3.1-million pixels – in the same 9.7-inch space. That’s four times the number of pixels in iPad and a million more than an HDTV. Those pixels are so close together, your eyes can’t discern individual ones at a normal viewing distance. When you can’t see the pixels, you see the whole picture. Or article. Or game. In ways you never could before.

Hampton's Treasure Product review and prize!!

I recently had the wonderful opportunity to review a handmade product by HAMPTONS TREASURE, based out of Elysian Fields, Texas'. They specialize in unique, handmade goods out of duck tape. She started making hairbows back in 2010 for her daughter at first, discovering how fun and special they were she kept on and tried to start selling them! After seeing how FABULOUS her creations were she expanded to headbands, ribbon rings, scarfs and more. Than she thought her fancy duct tape idea would maybe spark some eyes- boy was she right! She started doing wonderful creations such as ducktape mens & womens wallets, jewelry/hair accessories, baskets and more! This truly is a product and company you must see!!! She is a very sweet woman and i am glad i had the chance to review this wonderful wallet that she made for my boyfriend. He LOVES it. Its so nice, very sturdy, enough room for everything we need (and will get in the future!) Also it feels so close to leather its unreal. I cannot believe how great and well put together this product was. We all keep bragging about it!! Its so great! Here are a few pictures to get an idea of what my wallet design looked like:

Funbites giveaway! :)

As I am sure you all remember a couple weeks ago I got to review Cube It FunBites cutter!  I was also given the opportunity to do a giveaway so that one of my readers could win one as well!



That giveaway is over BUT I was asked to review their other FunBites cutter too, the Luv It cutter!  Keep reading for my review of the hearts cutter because my opinions of the cutters differ.



For those of you who are not familiar with my review for the Cube It cutter you can read it here.  



FunBites are easy to use just follow the very simple instructions:



Step 1: Place FunBites cutter on top of
food.  Remove popper top and set to the side.

Step 2: Grab cutter handles on both sides, press down firmly and
rock 5-6 times to cut through the food.

Step 3: Lift the cutter up, insert popper top and
pop out the bite-sized pieces!

To wash them just toss them in the dishwasher on the top shelf!!





The coolest thing about the Luv It cutter is that the shapes are fun to play with and create cute shapes with them, like the ice cream cones made from a cookie cake pictured below.







Isn't that just too fun?  I LUV IT!!  The geometric shapes are great for kids to be creative and also learn their shapes at the same time!!  Here are some shapes I made out of the pieces; a square, rectangle, triangle, circle, and of course the heart.







I have to say that the cutter does not cut as cleanly as the Cube It on some food and the extra creases on the cutter are a little more difficult to clean up but that was okay because I just sprayed it out with the sink sprayer then tossed it in the dishwasher.



My favorite part of the hearts cutter was the little hearts and think that this cutter would be so much fun for Valentines Day.



We got to use this cutter on more than just the cookie cake!  Below you can find a few more pictures of foods we used it on!



Berry Pancakes- a little messy because of the berries but the munchkins loved the shapes.



PB&J sandwich - Munchkin 2 ate every bite!




Drumroll please......
It is now for the giveaway......




Disclaimer:  Jenn, Mom Of Two Munchkins or other participating pages are not responsible for shipment of the prize.  Jenn, Mom Of Two Munchkins received an item to review but this did not sway her opinion.  All opinions are solely those of Jenn, Mom Of Two Munchkins.  More of this boring but necessary information please refer to the Terms and Conditions Link on the Rafflecopter form.

netTALK duo wifi giveaway!

This Review/Giveaway is done by Kathy's Freebies & Savings



Wouldn't it be nice to cut down the cost of your phone bills? I know I like to save as much as possible. I've even heard of others completely cutting out their phone line, and just using their cell phones. I like to have my house phone along with my cell phone. Before I heard of netTALK I couldn't imagine completely eliminating our house phone, but it really allows you to cut out the cost of your home phone bill.

This is NetTALK Duo WiFi netTALK's 3rd generation VoIP device. It is the only device in the world that is flexible enough to connect directly to a router via a Wi-Fi connection, as well as through an ethernet and USB connection. You can place this anywhere where there is access to a Wi-Fi signal. NetTALK also has a new and free Android App (works on most Android devices) that provides Free Calling throughout the US and Canada with the option to add low-cost international TALK credits to make calls from anywhere to anywhere in the world (with cell phone / WiFi service) without running up cell phone minutes or roaming charges. Great for traveling and keeping in touch with family and friends abroad! The app is available free at www.nettalk.com and at Google Play.

Setting this up was very simple. It came with an a/c adapter, ethernet and usb cable. All you need in order to set this up is internet and a telephone. The device is very small and compact, so it won't take up too much room. After getting everything set up online, I was able to set up my netTALK with my router. I was then able to make phone calls anywhere in the USA and Canada. I did have one small problem; I couldn't make local calls. My husband talked to customer service for me and they were able to resolve the issue within one day. My husband said the customer service was excellent. I'm so glad I can now make calls all over the US with my phone without being charged extra.

You can get netTALK Duo WiFi for about $65, and each additional year is only $29.95. Normally we would pay about $30 for just a month, but with netTALK $30 would equal a whole year! Some of the features include:
  • Service included
  • Wi-Fi Enabled
  • Free Phone Number or Keep Your Own
  • Live Customer Support
  • Free Calls to the USA and Canada
  • Free Calls to any netTALK customer
  • Ultra Low Cost International Calling
  • Call Waiting/Caller I.D./Call Fowarding
  • 3 Way Calling
  • Visual Voicemail
  • 411 Directory Assistance
  • Enhanced 911 Service
  • Conference Calling
  • Videophone Capabilities
  • Fax Friendly
NetTALK is available online, but it's also available at Target, and other retailers. If you're spending to much with your phone company now, make the switch to netTALK and save on money.

Mia Mariu Make up Giveaway!!

This Review/Giveaway is done by Kathy's Freebies & Savings

 



Mia Mariu is a natural health and beauty products company based in Dallas. Each product contains botanicals, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and peptides. Jeannie Price is the founder and CEO of Mia Mariu. She wanted to create a company for women to make money without having to sacrifice any time with their family. The company offers a home based business that can help you earn money, make new friends, and reach your personal success.

I was given two products to review, and they were the luminous lip gloss, and the anti-aging eye cream.

The lip gloss I received is called Luminous Lip Gloss Dulzura. The color is like a light pink. I'm not a huge fan of lip gloss, but when I applied this lip gloss, I really loved it. It's very smooth when you apply it, and not sticky. It made my lips shine, and didn't leave any color behind, which is what I love. I don't like when lip glosses have colors to them, because I'm not a big fan of lip colors, like lipstick. I've been using this product every day since I received it. I'm very happy that I love it, because normally I don't apply anything to my lips. This gives them that extra shine.

The anti aging eye cream is used to treat dark circles under the eyes. It came in a 0.5oz bottle. When I wake up each morning, I use this product. It's been about two weeks since I started using this, and I have seen some small changes. I'm usually extremely tired when I wake up in the morning. Ever since I have been using this product, it's made me feel refreshed and awakened in the morning. I don't know if this is how it's suppose to feel, but I love it! It really helps me to wake up in the morning. I've also noticed some small changes with the dark circles under my eyes. They are slightly disappearing, so I'm very happy with this product.

You can sign up to become a Mia Mariu Adviser and make money while staying at home. There are two different starter kits you can choose from. The basic starter kit costs $125 and it retails for $335, and the Deluxe Starter kit costs $140 and it retails for $394.
