It’s Wild!

[ 3 ] August 29, 2010

The Wild BunchThe new ZhuZhu Pets are part of the Wild Bunch! My kids LOVE the ZhuZhu pets. They have been fans for awhile and we have several of them and several accessories. I love the new WILD bunch. They are adorable. The kids had a blast with them too.

We had a ZhuZhu Wold Bunch party yesterday, August 28. The kids had a blast. We severed foods that were named to fit the theme of the party. We had cheese bites, trail mix and chocolate covered raisins. We also had some juice and some hot dogs as well. The kids enjoyed learning about the WILD bunch and playing with them! We had fun making graffiti with chalk all over the driveway. Then we got markers and drew and did graffiti all over a large sheet of paper. We cut this at the end and each child took a piece home, along with their chalk and their ZhuZhu WILD Bunch pet. I think Sweetie was pretty popular, as was Zhu but they were all very loved. It was great to see the children interacting with each other and playing with the ZhuZhu WILD Bunch.

ZhuZhu WILD BunchAs you can see from the pictures, the kids had a good time. There were busy playing and drawing and racing with the ZhuZhu’s. The party was a great time and later in the night the kids did smores over a bonfire with their ZhuZhu WILD Bunch pets. Many of the parent’s had seen and heard of the ZhuZhu Pets. Some of the kids had them. Others were new to the entire experience. It seemed like these were a huge hit. The mom’s were excited to have a toy that was simplistic but kept the kids SO happy and SO excited! All and all the party was a huge success and I think all the kids had a GREAT time!!

BUY: You can buy Zhu Zhu Pets WILD Bunch and other Zhu Zhu Pets and Accessories on Amazon or retailers nationwide.

What Would You Do With a Million?

[ 89 ] August 29, 2010

DiscoverWhat would you do with ONE MILLION dollars? Discover wants to know! This year, every purchase you make with your Discover card is another opportunity to win one of 75 daily prizes—up to $500—or a $1 Million Grand Prize! That’s why Discover reached out to filmmakers from around the world to get their take on what it would be like to win $1 Million. Out of hundreds, four independent filmmakers were selected to show films based on their interpretation of the thrill, drama and joy of what it would be like to be the Grand Prize winner.

My favorite video from the series is Genie. I love the fact that this man was willing to chose the happiness of another person over money, which is just material in the end. If I won a million dollars, I would likely do the logical things, like pay off the house, vehicles and other things. I don’t think I would do anything elaborate and expensive and I certainly wouldn’t want to set my family up for disaster.

What would you do with your million?

GIVEAWAY: Discover is giving ONE lucky reader FOUR tickets to any Six Flags U.S. theme parks (valid thru 1/5/2011, no black-out dates)!

Pure Zone & Pure Sleep!

[ 244 ] August 29, 2010

PureZoneFor years my husband has suffered from allergies. He’s tried a HUGE variety of medications and sprays and other things that he was hoping would work. Some of them helped for a short while, but then they stopped. Some things {like nasal irrigation systems} were just too much to do daily and several times daily.

Recently PureZone offered me their Personal Air Filtration system to try. I can’t say enough about this product. It truly has worked a miracle for my husband. He LOVES it. Setting up the system was pretty simple. All you had to do was put the fan unit on your choice of stand or brackets that are included, put the filter in place and snap the cover on, plug the remote in… set the unit next to your bed, add your pillow in the pillowcase and your set!

Here’s the PureZone pillow in our bed:

Pure ZoneYou use your choice of pillow in the pillowcase they provide that is a part of the system. The pillowcase is a soft cotton material and it is very comfortable so you shouldn’t have any problems with that. The air we breathe is full of irritants that can trigger asthma and allergy symptoms. Over 99.7% of airborne allergens and pollutants are removed through the charged fiber HEPA filter. The system IS clinically proven to reduce allergy symptoms. For my husband, this is VERY effective. Since we sleep in the same bed, I also notice some results for ME! My nose is not all dry in the morning like usual. I love the little white noise that comes from the fan unit. It’s the perfect rhythm that puts me to sleep in no time! My husband does work a swing shift schedule and sleeping GOOD has always been a challenge. With the PureZone system he is sleeping better all around. He sleeps longer, feels more rested and his allergy symptoms are nearly gone, without the $100′s spent monthly on allergy medications, sprays, etc that give him such very minimal results!

Another thing I should mention is that the unit has adjustable temperatures. This is one of my husbands favorite features. He is always WARM when he sleeps so with this he is able to control the temperature of the air. This in turn keeps him a comfortable temperature when he is sleeping. This not only helps him sleep better, but it keeps him less restless and sleeping through the night longer!

PureZoneAs you can see from the picture the PureZone system is small and takes very little room. It’s not a huge room unit {but I think this personally unit works better in that regards because you are keeping the purified air right in your area}. The remote is easy to use and does light up when you push the buttons. If you wake during the night and need to change settings the remote is nice for that. The pillowcase fills with the purified air. When you lay on it, the air filters around your head giving you the purified air to inhale both through your nose and through your mouth. This unit is QUIET. There is hardly any noise. I actually like the sound of having a fan on when I sleep and I am still sleeping with a white noise machine because this is pretty quiet. My husband does like the little hum from it and says it’s enough “noise” for him to sleep. I guess I like it a little louder then he does.

I honestly can’t say enough about this system. I never thought that we would find something to cure or help my husband’s allergies. He’s able to cut the grass and be outside without swelling up the next day and not being able to see from his eyes. He’s not sneezing all night long and that allows ME to sleep without waking up. He’s more rested and feels great. PureZone has truly been a blessing for us!!

BUY: You can buy PureZone online. They are currently offering a $99 risk free trial! For a limited time you can save $50 off your purchase of the PureZone system using the coupon code SCRAP50

GIVEAWAY: ONE lucky reader will get your own PureZone Personal Air Filtrations System!

Make That Sandwich!

[ 0 ] August 29, 2010

CosentinoIn the summer we have a lot of cold foods, like sandwiches, subs, etc. We’ve always been a fan of Mezzetta products! Although we use them in our sandwich and subs, I’ve also used many of their products in my other cooking, like chili and dips. Mezzetta is announcing their THIRD annual Mezzetta Make That Sandwich Contest. The grand prize includes $25,000 and an exciting trip for two to the Napa Valley, home to Mezzetta.

In addition to the Mezzetta Make That Sandwich Contest, Mezzetta has also enticed 7 celebrity chefs to create their own inspirational sandwiches recipes and compete against each other for bragging rights and a $10,000 donation to the celebrity chef’s favorite charity!

Mezzetta  began in 1935 in San Franciso’s historic North Beach. It is not based in the capital of Nappy Valley, California. There are a ton of things that can me made with the Mezzetta family of products. While we commonly use them on sandwiches, feel free to experiment in other recipes. They work great in wraps. I love that they are jarred and ready to do. We’ve taken them in the cooler to the beach or the park. They are easy to add to your sandwich or what not. MUCH easier then cutting up and taking all of these ingredients!

Be sure to check out the celebrity recipes using Mezzetta products and vote for your favorite!! Vote at Make that Sandwich. You can also enter your sandwich and recipe there!! Contest and enteries ends September 6, 2010!
