Dont Forget!!!! Giveaways ending!!!
Eden Fantasys Review
Every woman needs something sexy for their bedroom wear! With Eden Fantasys you can have that! Eden Fantasys is an online Adult Store. When trying to find something to spice up the bedroom wear, I scrolled through the catalogs of Eden Fantasys. They have a little bit of something for everyone. The Fetish Femme Babydoll caught my attention. This sheer black babydoll is open front with a little black buckle closure that sits right below the "girls". It looked great on the model - and I hoped it would fit me!
The people at Eden Fantasy ship extremely quick! It actually arrived a day earlier than I thought it would. Luckily I was able to intercept the mail that day, and grabbed my package. I didn't want the hubby to see it until I made sure it fit right. My package was shipped in a plain white box via Priority Mail. They carefully wrapped the lingerie in pink tissue paper and packaged paper around it so the package wouldn't arrive wrinkled.
This babydoll is perfect for a summers night. It is made from Chiffon. Chiffon is a plain-woven sheer fabric, which does have some stretch and a slightly rough feel. It is so lightweight and airy. The Fetish Femme Babydoll hangs perfectly; hugging the girls nicely and flows to hide the hips - and any other mommy pouch that may still be lingering. It does come with a choker - which is cute, but not necessary. The choker ties in the back and features the little buckle on the front - to match the babydoll top. It does come with matching sheer black bikini panties. They also came in the large - but don't worry, if they don't fit you, then you can wear any cute black bottoms (or if you wish a splash of bright pink) to make the outfit complete. The panties that I received didn't fit comfortably on me, so i chose to wear one of my one.
The cut of this babydoll is great. The stitching was flawless on mine. All the seems held together - even after a wash. They do recommend very gentile hand washing for this garment. But, shh.... the hubby washed mine in with the normal wash. He did hang dry it though, so it would have no chance to shrink.
Sizing - there was no discrepancy in sizing for me. I ordered a Large - and it fit perfectly. I am usually a 12/14 in sizing. The Large is rated to be a 10/14 in body size and a C-D cup size. It didn't offer firm cup support, but chiffon is known to stretch.
Overall, I would give this a 5 out of 5 and I am pretty sure my hubby would agree! The only thing that I wish is that the buckle on the front of the chest had 1 extra buckle hole; just to give a little more closure.
** I was given this babydoll to review from Eden Fantasys. This review is 100% my own opinion.
CSN Review
Yep The Rocket "Blast Off" Play Tent.
This arrived in the mail today - Right on time! Our dogs announced the arrival of this package by barking their heads off.. I ran to the door to receive the package...and My son was right behind waiting to open it. For all those who don't know, I have a 3 1/2Year old son who looks forward to opening the mail with mommy! And when something comes in the mail with his name on it... He tells EVERYONE! Gotta love it.
Daddy put the tent together while I was at work today. He said that the directions were Extremely easy to follow and it wasn't hard to put together at all - except for having to crawl inside to tie the strings around the pole. (wow, that must have been a funny sight. Too bad I was not home to view it)
When i got home from work, My Lil Guy was all excited to tell me about his new ROCKET! He was ready to get away from the dinner table to go take me to play in it. But alas, he finished eating first than took me downstairs to play in the rocket.
Yes I did crawl into the tent with him. Surprisingly there was enough room for me to sit up(I'm about 5'3")! This Rocket is 56" tall and 40" in diameter. It would easily hold a couple young ones. There are 2 openings (doors) that the children can crawl in and out of. It also has 2 window cutouts - which is great for peering out while your Flying into Space!
The structure of this Rocket is held up by poles. The Body of the rocket is blue and made from a softer material. The Top of the rocket is Silver and more Sturdy. The outside of the rocket has a couple of pieces of Velcro. It comes with a few different Space Themed Decals that you can put wherever you think they should go on the rocket. This is great for a child who loves to REDECORATE!
My one cat did decide to make a home out of it. He's actually sleeping in it right now! Well, speaking of Sleep, That is where i am going to be heading!
Thank you again CSN Stores for this great Review Opportunity.

And in July they are offering EcoPass for life - instead of just for a year.
They are also giving my readers a special savings through August. Just use the code - SBBl509 -when you go to check out for a savings of 15% off your first purchase.
The Generous people over at EcoMom sent me the Revolution Food Sampler - including 6 Mash-ups and 6 Sandwich bars. Both my son and i tried the Mash-ups... I defiantly have to say that the mixed berry was by far our favorite. They have the texture of Applesauce but the awesome berry flavor! I will admit I looked a little goofy sipping out of the mash-up container, but boy the taste was worth it! We also tried the Grammy Sammy. They are the perfect size for an after nap snack or after dinner desert (The 'lil guy wants to save the rest of the sandwich bars for snacks at Grammy's this week- LOL)

CLOSED - Kids Lunchbox Review and Giveaway - Easy Lunchbox
This is a great system for everyone to have! I was extremely impressed how easy the container snapped together - even my 3 1/2 year old can use it. I personally chose the black bag and container set to review, Figuring this would be the most versatile color for the whole family to use. I am looking forward to getting a lot of use out of it this upcoming school year! I have a DH who is a substitute teacher and takes lunches every day. Now he wont have to worry about taking a batman or toy story bag that barely holds a sandwich much less a side dish. Its great that the containers are DISH Washer and Microwave Safe. Now i don't have to worry about finding an extra plate when i bring something that needs to be rewarmed. And the great thing about this system... it comes with 4 containers. This is especially great when both my husband and i want to take healthy lunches to work the same day. Also you can put multiple containers in the bag - so if you and your family wanted to take a lunch to the beach or park - you can do so with out having to take separate boxes.
You can buy this set- with a bag color of your choice - at their online store
Or you can win it! EasyLunchboxes.com is allowing me to giveaway one of these systems to one of my followers!

My biggeste Pet Peeve - people treating you like you are below them (especially in a job situation, where they are suppose to be your co workers - not your boss) A boss should not talk to an employee like they are a child and nor should the people you call co-workers.
Sigh, ive had my fair share of being talked to like i was stupid or a child at many of jobs, and one day, it'll come back to them.
Rules:
You must follow the first three blogs. Heavenly Savings, Giveaway Blogdom, and Congrats to last weeks #27 Food Floozie for being our winner in the drawing for the #3 spot! Leave a comment letting people know you are a follower - and then follow back.

Do i pick out something to review that would benefit my hubby? Or do i pick out something to benefit my son? (There are great educational Childrens toys on the site) Or, do i just take the time and review something that will be mine - all mine (did you see those sleep body pillows? )
What would you pick to review?
Stay tuned to see what i picked ....
