Protect a Bed Giveaway

There has been a lot on the news lately regarding Bed Bugs. many of you are going off to college or have children heading off to college this month. As a way to protect yourself or your children in college dorms or even at home Protect-A-Bed has introduced its Student Bedding Protection Kit.

The Protect-A-Bed Student Bedding Protection Kit -- a trio of products that includes Protect-A-Bed’s Twin XL AllerZip® Mattress Encasement, Protect-A-Bed Mattress Protector, and Protect-A-Bed’s Pillow Protector -- does more than assist in bed bug management. Many dorm mattresses have been slept on by multiple people, are filled with dust mites and other allergens, and have stains students past. Mattress protection creates a layer between students and what’s lurking in their mattresses, to create a more hygienic (and bed bug free!) sleep environment. Furthermore, mattress protection will prevent additional damage to the mattress in the event of an accident.



Protect a Bed has offered one of my readers a Protect-A-Bed Student Bedding Protection Kit.

Journey Gym Review and Giveaway ($245 rv)

Journey Gym is the world’s first truly portable universal gym and is the only product of its kind that literally can go anywhere and will be everywhere.

The journey gym brings consistency back to your fitness life by going anywhere that you could and would workout including your home, your office, your hotel, even your back deck. It allows you to get in real alternating strength and cardio workouts, known as circuit training, in just 5 to 20 minutes even when you are on that business trip, when the kids are sick, when life gets hectic.

THE JOURNEY GYM
The journey gym is a complete, lightweight, compact and durable universal gym.  It is efficient in giving users a total body workout and will allow anyone to use it as their primary source of resistance, cardiovascular, and circuit training.  The journey gym comes with:

• 30 resistance bands (five on each side plus ten additional bands) for a customizable resistance system of 5 to 75 pounds per side.
• One set of adjustable handles so resistance only begins when you are in the correct position.   
• Full set of legs which are used to raise the gym into a stair stepper for a full cardio workout. 
• A workout DVD specifically designed for the gym with a 5 minute set up video, a 10 minute circuit tone workout and a 20 minute circuit strength workout. 
• A free online community at www.journeygym.com where you are able to create exercise videos, track your activity and nutrition, and share your progress with friends and family.

Our Thoughts

The Journey Gym is Amazing. My husband was kind enough to try it out and give his input because I was told by my doctor that due to my pregnancy he only suggests walking at this time as a form of exercise. However as soon as I have this baby I will be using journey Gym to tone up and lose that baby weight.

My husband loves the Journey Gym. He is amazed by how many options and exercises that can be done with something so portable. His favorite part is the ability to vary the resistance. Even for a 6 foot 200lb guy there is plenty of resistance when using several of the resistance bands at once. The DVD that comes along is very helpful to learn how to use and set up the journey gym and providing some beginning exercise tips.

Wham-o Slip n Slide Review and Giveaway

One of my favorite things to do with friends in the summer when I was younger was Slip n Slide. We used to spend hours in the front yard sliding. We even figured out that if you use a little dish soap you slide much better.

When I owned a slip n slide they were a basic slide. Now they have pools on the end, double wave riders and really cool game ones.


Shane is finally old enough to do Slip n Slide so I was super excited when given the opportunity to review one. My husband is a huge bowler so I though it would be great to review the Splash 'n Bowl Slip 'n Slide.


Shane had a blast on this on several occasions. He asks to play on it all the time.


It is great because it is good for just him or when he has friends over. It keeps him cool in the heat and is super easy to clean up and store.
