iParent.TV Subscription Promotion and Giveaway

Have you heard about iParent.TV yet?

Neither had I, up until a few days ago.

You are probably asking yourself what is iParent.TV?

 What is iParent.TV? If your kids are awake, they’re probably on a smartphone, in front of a smart tv, downloading apps, or posting to social networks. And most likely you have no idea what they’re doing. iParent.TV will be a yearly, subscription-based website for teaching and informing parents on all things tech, mobile, devices, websites, and apps for kids so that you WILL know.

The Problem. Most parents don't have an inside track to tech or social media dangers, let alone how to safeguard their kids against them.58% of 10-12 year old kids believe they know how to hide their online activities from their parents.

46% of them said they would change their online behavior if they knew their parents were paying attention.

Introducing iParent.TV - keeping parents ahead of the tech curve. We believe we have the opportunity to help parents understand, get involved and safeguard their children in the ever-evolving tech World. iParent.TV educates parents with all the latest trends via Websites - Social Media - Apps - Devices

Once launched, iParent.TV will have 100s of videos and product reviews that are very current, cutting edge and trending, keeping parents who subscribe ahead of the tech curve.

How it will work? The iParent.TV website will be a subscription-based site costing $49 per year for parents to access all the videos, reviews, how-tos, and live chat support.

KONG Doy Toys Review and Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

When my pup passed away almost two years ago (got her in 1999), I swore there would be no more dogs. Wasn't going to go through the heartache of losing another one. But, I also have a little girl and, like I did, I want her to grow up around animals. To know the love that a dog can give, to see the love in the dogs eyes and to understand they aren't just animals, they are family.

So, we found Rocky.

and the boy has grown into a beast who loves his doggie toys. Anything cloth, forget about it, it is destroyed by later that day. Squeaky toy, yeah, within hours it no longer squeaks and it is hard to tell it was even a toy. 

So, we were super excited when we got the chance to do a review (and a giveaway) for the Kong Extreme from EntirelyPets. 

Information about this product: 

Extreme Kong's exclusive black natural rubber formula is the world's strongest dog toy rubber! It's now being used by powerful chewers around the world like police K-9 teams, drug enforcement and military K-9 teams, AKC competition trainers, Shutzhund Clubs and more. 

Puncture resistant 

Super bouncy, and chewer friendly. 

Resilient, durable, and bouncy. 

Satisfies a dog's natural need to chew 

Cleans teeth and conditions gums. 

Thick, flexible walls that keep springing back for more!

Non-toxic, nonabrasive, non-splintering, and does not get sharp when chewed. 

Recommended by veterinarians, trainers, dog professionals and satisfied customers world wide. 

I figured my boy would be up to the challenge of putting this to a proper test. Oh and he was!

And still up for the challenge of destroying a new toy:

and it went on and on, two weeks worth of us putting snacks in his toy (you put snacks in it if you wish, but he plays with it without snacks in it as well).

I am happy to report that after weeks of chewing, throwing, gnawing and all the things in between, the Kong Extreme has held up the way it said it would.

It is a little dirty, but no puncture holes, no tears in the rubber, nada. 

I am actually really impressed. We have found a dog product that our beast can't rip apart within hours. No breaking off pieces and having the chance to actually swallow them oh and a big plus NO SQUEAK, lol. 

The one thing that I found that I didn't like about it is that there is a chance that your pup could get his lower jaw stuck in the bottom of it trying to get the snacks out. Our beast had part of his jaw in there, but shook it off. So, make sure you get the right size for your pup so that won't happen.  Also, it is quite heavy, so if you have a kiddo who likes to play with your pup and throw toys, make sure you are watching them as they are playing. These can probably go through computer screens, TV screens, knock things off shelves, etc.

All and all, I (and the pup) give EntirelyPets a A+ on this item and we are planning on purchasing other toys from this company because they really do stand up to the testing of a beast.

Kong Dog Toys has offered our readers a chance to win one of their own as well. To enter, just check out the rafflecopter entry below and enter, enter, enter. 

Giveaway will be open to residents of the USA who are 18+ and will end on: March 3, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. Winner will have 48 hours to get back to me with shipping information so that I can forward it on to the sponsor for shipment of prize.

DIAL Vitamin Boost Body Wash Coupon Giveaway

Have I mentioned lately how much I absolutely love being a member of the PUREX INSIDERS team? They send great products to review and they let you know about promotions and such that they are currently doing, such as the Purex Make-A-Wish Foundation promotion that I recently took part in.

This time I got the chance to do a review (and there will be a giveaway) for this:

Product info:

Lotion Infused
New Vitamin Complex
For healthy, soft skin!

Vitamin B is a "natural humectant that helps draw in moisture and keep skin hydrated."

Now this is body wash (to use in the shower) but I have been using it in the bath, as bubble bath. 

This is the prettiest shade of green (just like the bottle). Here is a picture of it on a maroon washcloth:

It is really soft and creamy to touch. Pleasant scent as well.

I have really dry and itchy skin, so I have been trying different products to see if I can help with that. This winter the itching has been as bad as it has ever been. So, I use the products in the bath and then soak in it.  Just a couple of cap fulls makes a lot of bubbles for a good soaking.

The Dial Vitamin Boost has been actually helping. I notice a huge difference on nights that I don't soak, I spend a whole lot of time itching/scratching before I am able to finally fall asleep. 

It is really a good size bottle that they sent:

 But because I have loved it so much, half of it is gone and I plan on continuing to use this product so I'm going to be buying more. I recommend it for anyone that wants softer skin and to add moisture to your skin. My skin is so smooth after I get out of the tub and the itching subsides for a day or so. You really should check this product out if you get a chance. I think that you would like it as well.

Thanks to Purex Insiders/Dial I have 3 full size coupons to giveaway to our readers. One reader will win a Dial For Men Power Scrub Body Wash and two winners will each receive a coupon for Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash. Winners will be random. First person rafflecopter chooses will get the Dial For Men Power Scrub Body Wash and the other two will get one of the other coupons.

DISCLAIMER: I received no monetary compensation for this post, however, I did receive a full size product free of charge so that I could do a proper review. All words are my own (except for quoted text) and not influenced by any outside source.

Now onto the giveaway:

Giveaway will end on: March 2, 2014 at 11:59 p.m. and is open to residents of the US 18+

Good luck!

Missy Mila TWISTED TALES VOL 1 DVD Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Have you heard about Missy Mila? She is a curious 8 year old with a big imagination. 

Tidbit from DVD:

Mila is an 8-year old girl, bursting with energy. A bit of a tomboy, she is very proud of her jumping pig tails. Mila loves to tell stories in her own voice, always adding a lot of humour and imagination. She especially likes to retell classic tales. She adds zany details and twists that make her version unique and unforgettable! Come and relive some old tales with Mila!

The DVD has 13 episodes and is 101 minutes long and the language is English.

Product review from our little girl:

First thing she said she liked was the opening. The music is "awesome" she said. It was quite upbeat and shows a bouncing around Missy Mila. Before the stories start, she appears to be "addressing" her audience by "knocking on" the TV screen and talking right to the kids.

She says her favorite episode was The Hidden Princess.

Which in her words involved a King, Princess, Prince's, lambs and ducks. I didn't really know what the lambs and ducks had to do with it, so we went in and watched it again.

She says she liked it because the Princess was beautiful and her father, the King, didn't just want any old Prince marrying his daughter, so he hid his Princess away and turned it into a hide-n-seek game. Of course, no Prince could find his daughter.  But one Prince, use a "trick" to locate her. With the help of a friend, he was turned into a lamb and the King happened across the shepherd and the "lamb" and wanted to give the lamb to his daughter as a present.

"Mommy, the Prince didn't find the Princess, the King took the Prince to the Princess and didn't know it." "That is funny."  

ME: Of course, the Prince still had one more test to pass before he could marry the Princess, that is where the ducks come in.  I won't spoil it for you, you'll have to watch to see what happens next.

ME: The kiddo really has enjoyed this DVD and has watched it numerous time. I really mean numerous times. I like how all the stories are relatively short, so it keeps her attention and are easy to follow. Missy Mila takes classic tales and puts her own spin on them in a fun way.

Final Note: I really believe your kids would love this DVD or the Volume 2 DVD. Great stories, easy to follow along and cute at the same time. I asked her what she gave it out of a 1-10 for a rating and she told me she gave it a 9 and then ran away yelling "two thumbs up Mommy, two thumbs up" as she was heading back towards the room to watch the next episode!
