Solid Cordz Extension Cords Review

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

It seems I am always having some kind of cord or plug-in issues in my house.  Every gadget has a different size and shape plug and sometimes won't fit next to each other.  So then I have to search the house for someplace else to plug in my device.

It can get really frustrating when you have a 6 plug power strip, but can only fit 3 plugs in it.  Solid Cordz 1 Foot Extension Cable will solve this problem.  Utilize all your power strip slots and clean up that mess under your desk.

I have a 4 slot power strip under my desk, but could only usually plug in 2 or 3 things.  I used 2 of the 1 ft. extensions and can use all 4 slots now.

We didn't quite leave enough slack on the Christmas tree lights, so the extension came in handy for better reach.

Meaningful Beauty Creme de Serum Review

I have seen Cindy Crawford's popular informercial for her skin care line many times during my late night blogging.  I'll admit that I would talk a little smack to Cindy, such as "Well, sure you can look that great when you're a super model and can get special foreign melons to make a super serum!"   Now I must apologize to Cindy for all my smack talk after I got to try the Meaningful Beauty Creme de Serum.

Meaningful Beauty Creme de Serum is a powerful anti-aging serum and creme moisurizer to prevent the appearance of wrinkles.  It includes three powerful anti-aging ingredients.

• superantioxidant melon complex
• anti-aging peptides
• hyaluronic acid 

I have tried quite a few anti-aging skincare products this past year, including a few different serums.  This one by far feels the best on my face.  I keep teasing my hubby telling him, "You just wait until I look like Cindy Crawford:)"

I apply the serum once a day after cleaning my face well.  My skin doesn't seem as dry and feels smoother.  I've only been using the Creme de Serum for a couple of weeks and I do believe I see a lessening in the appearance of my frown lines.  Hopefully the longer I keep using it the better my skin is going to look.

Ozeri Digital Blood Pressure Monitor #Review

I have been trying to be healthier and get more exercise since I'm now in my forties.  I'll admit that I'm not so great in my consistency in acheiving this goal, but little by little I'll get there.  One thing that does help to motivate me more is if I have some cool tools or gadgets.  For example, I started using a pedometer to keep track of how many steps I take each day.

I received another cool gadget in the pursuit of a healthier me, the Ozeri Digital Blood Pressure Monitor.   It arrived with a nice hard shell portable case, and is small and lightweight.  It measures your blood pressure, pulse and detects irregular heartbeat.

Features:

• digital display
• voice activated
• position sensor
• intelligent hypertension indicator
• select users
• memory
• wrist cuff

I love how easy it is to use and that it will talk to me.  I made a quick video of me taking my blood pressure so you can also hear how it talks to you and walks you through the process.  The voice feature can also be turned off if you wish.

Ozeri makes many different great products.  Check out my review of the Ozeri Precision Digital Scale and look for my upcoming review of the Ozeri 8" Green Earth Frying Pan.

Wordless Wednesday (Linky) - Blue Lobsters

This is the new aqaurium at my hubby's work.

Besides various fish, they also have some lobsters.  Apparently when you make the transfer of the lobsters from saltwater to freshwater (which takes about 20 days), they turn blue in color.

We call this one Big Mama.  She is loaded down with babies hanging under her tail, so they had to move her to a separate tank.  I couldn't believe how many babies she was carrying, literally hundreds.  I tried to get a picture of them, but no go.

Free Caught Santa Keepsake Photo

Now that it is December, I can start diving into Christmas.  I love decorating and made my hubby drag out all the lights and boxes this evening.  I especially love lots of lights.  Since we are in a house this year, I have a lot more places to string them up.  My hubby will be a busy boy.

Another special part of Christmas for me is keeping my daughter believing in Santa Clause as long as I can.  She is nine now and it's getting harder to convince her that there's a big jolly guy delivering presents all in one night led by flying reindeer.  Especially when she starts asking all the typical questions, like what if there isn't a chimney?

Well, this year I have proof to show her that Santa came to her house.  I now have a picture of Santa caught napping in my very own living room (above).  I can't wait to see the look on Rachel's face when she sees it on Christmas morning.

iCaughtSanta.com is a neat website to create memorable keepsake photos.  In three easy steps, you can add Santa to your photo.





There are various poses of Santa to choose from.  Would you like Santa by the tree, eating milk and cookies or napping on the couch?  For less than $10, you're kids will think you're a hero for catching Santa in the act.
As one of my readers, get your Santa photo for Free.

Free Caught Santa photo keepsake Code:  SantaShare
Expires:  Dec. 10th

After making your photo, make sure you enter their Customer Appreciation Giveaway.  They are giving away Visa, Starbucks and Amazon gift cards plus a brand new Apple iPad Air with retina display.
