Nuby Grow Nurser Reivew



I am very excited to announce that I am an official Nuby Mommy Blogger! Which means I will be receiving some  of the wonderful products Nuby has to offer your little bundle of joy for product reviews along with being able to hold some fantastic giveaway. The first item up for discussion is the Non-Drip™ 3-Stage Grow Nurser, What features does this Nurser offer? This nurser is for ages 0+,offers a wide bottle neck & holds 12oz/360ml.



My son is only two months old as of Wednesday so he won't be at the sippy cup stage for a while longer,but at one point in time all parents wonder how their children will handle the transfer from a bottle to a sippy cup. Browsing through the Nuby website I found a simple solution I think will help aid children during the transfering stage to sippy cups, The Non-Drip™ 3-Stage Grow Nurser is perfect for the job. The Non-Drip™ 3-Stage Grow Nurser can be used from the time your child is born until they are a toddler, How you might ask? The Grow Nurser starts as a bottle with the patented variable flow Non-Drip™ Nipple which features anti-colic valves to reduce the risk of colic as well as teething nubs to massage baby’s gums which helps keep them calm during tough times. As your baby begins to grow & starts to hold their own bottle the Grow Nurser allows you to attach the easy grip handles so they can start to feed themselves. The final stage in the Grow Nurser is a soft, silicone No-Spill™ Spout which will replace the Non-Drip nurser nipple.



Testing this product I have found that it allows my son to choose the nipple flow he enjoys,When he is going through a feeding frenzy he prefers to have a faster flow vs a slow relaxing while eating flow. Playing with the handles & spout I find that it is very simple to 'upgrade' to the next stage,We are not quite at stage two but I enjoy keeping the easy grip handles on the Grow Nurser because it helps me have a better grasp on the bottle while feeding my son. As he grows he will become familiar with the look & feel on his Grow Nurser which will make the switch to the spout easy he won't have any issues with knowing it is his cup. I didn't have a huge issue with my daughter during the transfer stage & I am hoping I won't have them with my son either.You could tell she knew she was using a different style of cup & enjoyed it but would also fuss for her bottle still this would have been perfect during that time as well. Did I find any negatives with this nurser? I have found that the nipple has a slight dome shape [shown above] on the inside of the nipple tip which causes milk to become caught,This can be difficult to clean if you have a regular bottle brush I would suggest using a small straw brush to properly clean the nipples on this nurser. This product can be purchased at Walmart,Diapers.com,Amazon,Cookiekids.com & other great retailers.

Printcopia Review & Giveaway



The thing I love decorating my house with most is pictures of my family,Picking out photos & frames to hang on the wall is exciting & gives me a heart warming feeling once they are up on the wall. I was recently given a chance to work with a company called Printcopia on a review & giveaway of their 8x10 Canvas Prints.

 
I found that the set up process was easy to understand & simple to use. The set up process shows you the cost of each item & allows you to customize your canvas you can choose from a preset size or make a custom size for your canvas. For my review I received a 8 x 10 photo canvas with a .75" wrap. You can upload a photo from your computer,facebook or Instagram for my canvas I used a photo of my son directly from my computer. After you are finished with the set up process it will let you review it along the way,When you are happy with how your canvas looks simply hit order and follow the easy check out system your canvas will arrive to you within 1-3 weeks depending on the shipping speed you picked. My canvas arrived safe & sound packaged perfectly, The canvas was wrapped in plastic to keep it from getting scratched or damaged. The canvas was also taped to the inside of the box to keep the canvas from getting thrown around the inside of the box while in transport. Along with canvas photos Printcopia also sells prints,basic photos,acrylics,framed prints,panoramic & decals for your printing pleasures all at affordable prices. I love my canvas it is made from quality materials & sure to last for years to come. The Printcopia customer service is friendly,answers all questions in a timely manner & the company is over all a wonderful company to have the chance to work with.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

The Flat Iron Experts Review



When I go to special family events,on dates with my hubby or to a special occasion I like to curl my hair so I was very happy to work with The Flat Iron Experts on a review of the 1" KQC Swirl Professional Ceramic Curling Iron.

 

 I recently received a package from The Flat Iron Experts containing the 1" KQC Swirl Professional Ceramic Curling Iron,A KQC Thermal Shine Spray & Macadamia Natural Oil Rejuvenating Shampoo. The Macadamia shampoo smelled good & left my hair feeling smooth,soft and hydrated. My favorite product would have to be the KQC Thermal Shine spray I flat iron my hair often & this product will help keep my hair protected from the heat produced by the flat iron. The description from the website of the curling iron is as follows "KQC Swivel Professional Curling Iron gives voluminous long-lasting curls every time. Just swirl the thumb piece to curl the hair around the barrel with the touch of the thumb. It reduces wrist and hand fatigue, allowing you to create and style tirelessly"

 
                                                                   
 Over the weekend I spent the day at my mother house where we tested out the KQC Swirl Professional Ceramic Curling Iron. The curling iron heated up fast & was ready to go in about two minutes which is a good heating time.The first thing we noticed right away was that the curling iron didn't have a plastic protective guard on the tip like most curling irons do allowing you to hold onto it for a better hold,My mother burnt her finger tips a few times forgetting it wasn't there. Another noticeable difference I noticed about the  KQC Swirl Professional Ceramic Curling Iron is that it is heavier than a regular curling iron. Other wise the curling iron worked fast,worked well & the curls lasted all day without hair spray. The curls were large,light & looked nice I enjoyed how my hair turned out using this curling Iron. Using the thermal shine spray before using the curling iron will help protect your hair from damage & breakage, using a repairing shampoo & conditioner combo before you go to bed will also help keep your hair looking healthy & beautiful. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Market Pad

I recently found an interesting website called 'Market Pad' that makes it easy to both find & sell pre-owned items in your city,town or state. Buyers have the option of searching by zip code with pinpoint accuracy or selecting the entire nation, then refining by category or keywords results from not just their site, but an aggregate of other classifieds and online retailers including Ebay. In a way Market Pad is similar to Craigslist but it allows you to search multiple sites at once & shows you the photos on the same page without having to click each listing to find the photos.



Taking a look through what is available in my area I found furniture,jewelry,toys & more all within a ten mile radius of where I live. The search bar allows you to look anywhere from five to a hundred miles around where you live allowing you the most 'Bang' for your search. The thing I like most about the search page is that it shows you a Picture along with a description & price. But wait buying & selling items isn't all you can do on Market Pad you can also find a car,find a local events,find coupons & even find job classifieds for your area all on one website. I think the general idea of the website is fantastic and quite helpful. Head over to check out their website to see what they have to offer you in your area.

 Market Pad is easy to use,Easy to navigate & takes away the hassle of searching multiple sites for what you are in need of. Want to sell your products through Market Pad or have your listings added to their searches? Sign up for a FREE account.***This is not a paid post,I did not receive any compensation for this post.
