Holiday GG 2011 Progressive International kitchen Gadgets and Tools

Have you heard of Progressive International? If your a Kitchen novoice or a professional chef or know someone who is you must check out Progressive Kitchen Gadgets and tools.

I love to cook as most of you know already. I cook dinner 5-6 times a week from scratch. I wanted to tell you about some of my favorite Kitchen tools from Progressive that have made my cooking so much more fun and enjoyable as well as saved me time.

The perfect Burger Press

This is a 3 piece set that makes a perfect 6oz burger. It features a non-slip handle and non-skid feet. It has an insert that created a dimple in the middle of the burger. This is done so that the burger cooks evenly and does not swell in the center when cooked. You can lift the burger right out and flip it right on the grill or pan. It is dishwasher safe. Available on Amazon for $5.99 worth every penny!

The Flour keeper

I used to have a mess of flour everywhere every time I needed flour for my recipes which was at least 3-4 days a week. Now I have the The flour keeper and I just love it. It has a built in leveler for precise measuring, an air tight seal that keeps the flour fresh, stores up to 5lbs and is dishwasher safe. I don't know how I ever lived without it. Available on Amazon for $17.97

The Garlic Chopper

I am half Lebanese and to say we eat and cook with a lot of garlic is an understatement. It always time consuming to chip up garlic cloves but the Garlic chopper changes all of that. It does contain a lot of parts but quickly and easily chops up garlic. It does a great job and even includes an integrated spoon for easy removal of the chopped garlic. It is also dishwasher safe. Available on amazon for $12.99

The mini fine Grater

The perfect extra sharp fine grater for Parmesan, garlic, citrus, chocolate and more. It comes with a protective cover making it safe for storage and is dishwasher safe. Always a handy tool to have. Available on amazon for $5.99


Progressive International makes so many nice Kitchen Gadgets and tools you must check them out and add your favorite tools and gadgets to your holiday list this season.

This lighter is awesome and is exactly the quality I would expect from Zippo. I love that it has a child safety button and that like other Zippo's it can be refilled so I can use the same lighter over and over. Plus the cute designs are a plus.

Holiday GG 2010 Hearthsong Review and Giveaway

I was recently introduced to Hearthsong. I absolutely love this store. They sell only select toys that are perfect for your child. I have already picked several things for Shane's birthday next year I want to get from Hearthsong.

About Hearthsong
"Since its beginning in 1983, HearthSong has been committed to helping parents follow their instincts to provide their children with age-appropriate, wholesome, quality playthings. That's because at HearthSong, we believe childhood is a vital chapter in life-a special time when children can be occupied with the joy of being children. And, equally importantly, a time when children need to experience as much creative, imaginative play as possible because kids experience so many of life's first lessons through play."

"Our selection of products has grown and expanded too. But we can still guarantee that each item is carefully selected for its quality, safety, and relevance to your child's development - and we are steadfast in our commitment to provide you with Toys You'll Feel Good About Giving®."


Shane was sent the Radioflyer Scoot 2 Skate to review.



"With two ways to ride, the Scoot 2 Skate grows with the child and is a great way for beginning skateboarders to get rolling. Younger kids can ride this authentic wood skateboard with the removable handle attached and scoot along, building stability and coordination until they're ready to skate without the scooter handle. Real wood deck skateboard features a non-skid surface and skateboard "trucks" (aka wheels).

For ages 3-8. up to 81lbs."

My thoughts
I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so he can play with this outside. I love that it is real wood and it will last for years compared with some toys that can only be played with for a few months and then they are outgrown. I also like that this toy promotes Shane to be active and is fun.

I would recommend Hearthsong for you last minute shopping as they offer the best toys available this Holiday season and all year long.


WIN IT
One lucky reader will win a Radioflyer Scoot 2 Skate just in time for the New Year.

Holiday GG2010 Conair and Scunci Review and Giveaway

Need some last minute stocking stuffer ideas? Conair has some great hair brushes and Scunci has some great hair accessories.

I have always used conair hair brushes for as long as I can remember. They last a long time and work really well to help me when I blow out my hair. So when I was contacted by Conair to review 2 of their new brushes I was right on board.

I was sent the Conair Gelgrips Cushion Brush and the Tourmaline Ceramic Small Porcupine Round Brush.




A little about these brushes

Great hairstyles start with a great brush! It’s a gift that will always be used. Detangle wet and dry hair of all lengths with the Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Small Porcupine Round Brush or Conair Gel Grips Cushion Brush. Each helps smooth, style, and straighten hair. The Conair Gel Grips Cushion Brush conforms to the shape of your hand for easy styling, and the flexible cushion base prevents hair breakage. The Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Small Porcupine Round Brush utilizes finely crushed tourmaline, a gemstone that naturally releases negative ions, infused into the nylon bristles and ceramic barrel of the brush. The ions tighten the cuticle layer and seal in natural oils, reducing static electricity, leaving hair shiny and silky.


My thoughts

I have always loved Coniar brushes. Now they are ever better as the gel handle has made it so much more comfortable for my hands to hold while I style my hair. The tourmaline round brush does a great job of retaining the heat which makes it very easy to dry my hair and it gives it a really pretty natural shine.


I was also sent the scunci Evolution™ hair ties and the scunci® Upzing™ double combs.






About these products
New Evolution™ hair ties, hair bands and clips, are the latest expansion of the scunci® No Slip Grip line! This great collection utilizes new technology to create hair ties, hair bands, and claw clips that won’t come out until you take them out! The hair bands and hair ties now have a new “jelly” look and feel to them that is perfect to hold your hair comfortably all day, and the traditional claw clips now have inner teeth to create a tighter, stay-put grip.

Want to try something fun and festive for the holiday party, but are worried you might lack the styling skill? Try the scunci® Upzing™ double combs! Easy to use, comfortable enough for every day, and sophisticated enough for special occasions, the Upzing accessory is perfect for all hair types. It has a lasting hold and can be used to create dozens of styles, ranging from polished ponies to glamorous up-dos. It is composed of two hair combs attached to a fabric or beaded elastic for the stunning look. Slide, stretch and “zing”: three easy steps to a stunning new style.

My thoughts
I love the evolution hair ties. They don't pull my hair out like regular hair ties and hold it really well in place. The upzing is really neat I look forward to using this next time I need to do an updo for a formal event.

Oneida makes flatware, dinnerware, Kitchenware and Drinkware. We are big fans of Oneida in our house. For our wedding registry we ordered Oneida plate sets and flatware. So I was excited when contacted to do a review of their Gourmet Pro 10 piece Cookware set.



I have been really big into cooking lately and have been told you can never have enough pans. That may be true but I can tell you now these pans are pretty much all I need for everyday cooking. I have already used them quite a bit and love them.



A little about this set

This 10 Piece Set features a sturdy stainless steel body that is easy to clean. The encapsulated aluminum base provides even heating, while the riveted handles ensure strength and durability. This collection is topped off with tempered glass lids that make seeing your culinary creations easy and convenient.

*

I would definitively recommend this set to anyone from the occasional cook to the everyday cook. This set along with any of the Oneida products would make a great Holiday gift.

This set is currently on sale for $85.00 HERE


Thanks to Oneida for sending me the Gourmet Pro 10 piece cookware set to review.

Holiday GG 2010 Protect a Bed Review and Giveaway 2 winners

Protect a bed is a company who specializes in mattress protection by making mattress protectors that lock out bed bugs, that eliminate allergens and extend the life of your mattress. They also carry a luxury sleep line that includes a Luxury pillow system. I was sent the Luxury Pillow system to review.



A little about the Luxury Pillow System

"A revolutionary new pillow system featuring Tencel®, the new age fiber better than cotton. The Luxury Pillow System is supersoft and fully adjustable to your own comfort level, while providing ultimate stain, allergy and dust mite protection.
Protect-A-Bed® Luxury Pillow System contains:
1 Standard Luxury Pillow
1 Standard Luxury Pillow Protector"

"Protect-A-Bed’s® Luxury Pillow
This Luxury Pillow contains extra, specially developed, microfiber filling which makes the pillow supersoft and fluffy. Each Luxury Pillow also has a unique zipper closure which allows you to adjust the amount of inner filling. By removing some of the filling, the pillow can be adjusted to exactly the right balance of height and firmness to suit individual preferences. A luxury pillow - luxury sleep."

"Protect-A-Bed’s® Luxury Pillow Protector
Protect-A-Bed’s Luxury Pillow Protector has a natural Tencel® surface which has a soft and silky feel, is hypoallergenic and antibacterial. The product also features the innovative Miracle Membrane® that provides a barrier for the pillow and the user to protect against allergens, dust mites and spills. Protect-A-Bed's® all new Breathe-A-Vent (patent pendling) ensures added comfort by allowing your pillow to breathe.
What is Tencel®?
Tencel® is a 100% Eucalyptus-based fiber, is naturally pure and does not contain any pesticides or agricultural chemicals. Tencel® has received numerous awards for its environmentally friendly manufacturing process."

Our thoughts. I love this pillow because it protects against allergens. I have very bad allergies. I also love that it is filled with Tencel which means no sleeping on pesticides or chemicals. Hubby loves that it comes with extra filling so he can adjust its height and firmness to his exact liking.

This would make a great holiday gift. It would be really nice to have for when you have company or even in your own bed. We keep it in our own bed. I think anyone could use an extra pillow and believe me when I tell you this is a fantastic pillow.

Holiday GG 2010 191 Unlimited Review and Giveaway

191 Unlimited is my favorite website to shop for trendy dress shirts for my husband and son. They carry Striped shirts, solid shirts and plaid shirts.



There are so many to chose from and they are all hip and trendy. There is also last chance offers on older designs you can get last chance offers at a nice discount.

They sent my husband and son a couple shirts to try out and I was in love. I do want to note they seem to fit to size with my son but they are European sized for men and so they run small. I had to exchange and get my husband a size larger.

Let me say that they were so kind and shipped the larger size very fast. I just wanted you to be aware in case you decided to order that I would go a size larger.




Don't they look great? These shirts get both my boys so many compliments.
I love 191 unlimited and think their shirts are a great gift suggestion for the holiday's.

191 unlimited has offered one of my readers 3 shirts. (shirt styles based on stock)

Holiday GG 2010 Pillow Pets Review and Giveaway

One of the most Popular things this year for kids is Pillow Pets.

What are pillow pets



"An ideal naptime companion – not to mention a comforting partner on road trips or airplane rides – Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals are anything but just another stuffed animal. Extremely versatile, these unique creations are the stuffed animal version of Transformers. Close the strap across their bellies and you have friendly, comforting pets. Open the strap and the pet becomes a comfortable pillow! Even more, Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals are so soft you’ll think you’re hugging a real fur coat! A pillow and a pet – all in one – Pillow Pets™ plush folding stuffed animals keep the companionship alive, even when your child sleeps."

Please be aware when looking for a Pillow Pet that many companies are trying to fraud people by selling Fake Pillow Pets and claiming they are real.

Your Genuine Pillow Pet should display either the My Pillow Pets® or Pillow Pets™ label sewn in on the back leg of your pet. These are examples of GENUINE Pillow Pet Tags.



Shane was sent the Snuggly Puppy pillow pet. He was so excited when he saw it. He has not put it down and has slept on it every night. It is extremely soft and will be great for our trip to see family for Thanksgiving this week.

Holiday GG 2010 Thinksmart Wii and CosmosChaos DS Giveaway

My husband likes video games. Most guys do Right? I like to play to but we have different tastes on which Games are fun.

Recently we discovered Thinksmart Wii. It's a great game the whole family will love.



A little about Thinksmart

"This original brain training program helps you develop language, memory, mathematics, spatial reasoning and logic skills in an imaginative and creative way. Think outside the box and improve your mental fitness! Train the coordination of the right and left hemispheres of your brain and improve your powers of imagination and logical thinking. An individual training plan tailored to your previous performance enables you to keep track of your progress. Throughout the game, useful tips help you to successfully master every challenge."

My thoughts

I like this game. It's fun to play with my husband and many of the mini games are really challenging. He enjoys this game as well. Its nice to have a game we both like and can play together.


For the Nintendo DS fans there is a new game out called Cosmos Chaos.



About Cosmos Chaos

Cosmos Chaos challenges the player to save their beloved dog, Hugo, who has been captured by the dastardly Dr. Z. By completing challenges and missions, and upgrading Buddy, the player can develop the power they need to save Hugo and rid the world, and eventually, the universe, of Dr. Z's meddlesome robots!

I think this would make a great game for a tween or teen boy or girl. I like that the creators of this game has included vocabulary building mini games into the game. It's great when a game can be fun and educational.


Both of these games would make a great stocking stuffer for the holiday's.

WIN IT
One lucky winner will win their choice of either the Thinksmart wii OR the Cosmos Chaos DS Game.
