How do you like your pizza? There's nothing I like more than fresh pizza but sometimes frozen pizza just has to do. However, not all frozen pizza tastes like crap and one of the good ones is Freschetta.

#BestBuy #PMD Home #Microderm Abrasion #Beauty #Review

I've learnt at a young age that you have to take care of your skin through creams, lotions, toners, and occasional exfoliation. When I had time, I would sometimes go for facial with my mother and enjoy myself. However, I've never attempted any at home microderms. I was up for the challenge though when the opportunity arose to review a PMD Home Microderm Abrasion Device.

Growing Up with #HelloKitty #DVD #Review

Hello Kitty has always been a favorite of mine. You can say she was one of my favorite characters when I was a kid. My relatives loved to buy me Hello Kitty themed products so I was a pretty lucky kid. What I never had though, was Hello Kitty DVD's.

My tech items are an integral part of my everyday life. I don't know what I'd do without them. USB drives in particular are a vital for my transferring of data or so that I can carry my work with me. I have 3-4 little USB drives and multiple external hard drives. LOL...so you can tell I use up a lot of memory. What about you? To help me out with this, there's a new product on the market called the MoH Band.

#Dyson DC25 #Animal #Vacuum #Review

Well, its already known that back home, there are 2 vacuums at least 8 years or older, possibly 10 years. Granted they are old so they are ridiculously loud and well, as the testing team found, useless. I can't tell you how excited they were when they found out they would be testing out a Dyson vacuum. Know why? They had heard that if you wanted a great vacuum, Dyson's were the best.

Pampered Pooch Giveaway Hop
HOSTED BY: Green Mam-a Jam-a, My UN-Entitled Life, & Whirlwind of Surprises

We all love our pets so let's have some fun and win some sweet products to pamper those cuties in our lives. If you're a reader, mark your calendar! This is going to be a sweet event coming up!

Ok, so there are going to be some changes...

Don't panic! WOS will be buying a peresonal domain so things may be a bit wonky for a short duration of time until everything settles. There'll still be lots going on but we've decided that its time to be on our own domain for several reasons...

We were long overdue for a new vacuum, ever since we moved into a new apartment, we no longer had the central vacuum that we used to have in our house. The only thing we had were a couple vacuums that were quite old. So, when I found out that we would be reviewing the Eureka Airspeed Gold AS1001A, there was a lot of excitement.

So, as you know the Spring Fashionista event hosted by Still Blonde After All These Years, ModlyChic, and the Socialite’s Closet is around the corner and it is the BIGGEST online fashion giveaway event ever with stuff for men, women, children, and even pets! Want a sneak peak? Take a look through the Look Book and then enter the pre-event giveaway!

#CocaCola: #Family Night #cokefamilynight #Games #Coke

Let's talk family night or even family day, what do you do together as a family? According to my father, as we get older and busier, even a family meal counts as quality family time. I'd like to do more than just that though and as usual, Coca-Cola is here to help with My Coke Rewards.

#LeashLocket #Review -A Revolutionary #Dog #Leash #Pets

Ok, my JR pulls on her leash a lot...and I mean, A LOT! She doesn't seem to get the concept that pulling on it means she ends up choking herself and it also makes it hard for her to breath. But nope, she just keeps pulling. Its been driving me crazy for ages so I wanted to train her to stop pulling.

Brancott Estate #Winery New #App

Let's talk about wine with Valentine's Day coming up! Brancott Estate is a winery based out of New Zealand and they just created a free "World's Most Curious Bottle" app. This app is meant to be used with the QR codes on all of their wine bottles.

I'm already 5 weeks into my Nutrisystem program and week 6 is just around the corner! LOL, after my great progress last week, this week was okay, considering my diet.

It appears to be a promising film from the producers of Spirited Away. Take a look at one of the new clips here.

#NMEDA

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of NMEDA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you heard of NMEDA? Its a non-profit trade organization that promotes safe driving and equipment for disabled people. They do not sell items but there are NMEDA dealers or members that do sell handicap vans and vehicle modifications for the disabled.

When I first saw Sleepypod, I knew it was something I wanted for my two babies. I was lucky enough to be able to get to review the Sleepypod Mini and Warmer for my new baby Pom. And in a couple of months, I should be able to review the SleepyPod Air for the JR.

#Winners! and Ending soon!

Easy Chili #Recipe, #Mexene #Chili Powder and #Louisiana #HotSauce #Review

So it was Superbowl Sunday this past weekend and what's a Superbowl without Chili?! I was able to whip some up with the help of some Mexene Chili Mix, Mexene Chili Powder and their Louisiana Hot Sauce. Haha, when these arrived in the mail, you should've seen the way the SO's eyes lit up. He loves chili!

Support #Walgreens, Part 2

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

#Walgreens is trying its best to help its prescription customers affected by Express Scripts. If you haven't heard, Express Scripts is no longer going to be working together with Walgreens. This change causes a major inconvenience to many customers. To help out their customers, check out the special discount on the annual membership at Prescription Savings Club at Walgreens. If you're someone that was affected, take a look; this may help you.

Wow, a month's gone by fast. I'm now nearing the end of Week 4 of my Nutrisystem plan! This week's been some amazing progress that I was shocked to see. I was wondering if my scale was off!

Mr.Chewy #Pet Products #Review #MrChewy

Being in a family with 2 dogs, I always love reviewing pet products. Lets put it this way...my babies are just a tad spoiled! Mr. Chewy is an online retailer of pet food and treats and offers 70+ brands on their site. The selection was almost limitless.
