UglySnuglies, YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE BEAUTIFUL TO BE LOVED!

I was sent this product in exchange for my fair and honest review.
My opinions are my own and no other compensation was given.


UglySnuglies. They are super fun, super soft, oversized stuffed animals that are so ugly,
 they’re cute and prove YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE PERFECT TO BE LOVED!

What makes them special is that every UglySnuglies has a hidden gift! UglySnuglies are far more than just ordinary stuffed animals; they are Pet’s with a Personality! 

Each UglySnuglies retails for $29.95 and their hidden gifts are geared to teach children a lesson:

• Pouty Pig – includes a bank inside to help kids learn to save their money

• Krazy Kitty – includes a hidden light in his tail to help kids feel safe

• Bizarre Bear – includes 5 secret zipper pockets to help kids clean up after themselves

• Unusual Unicorn – includes an alarm clock to help kids learn the value of time

• Rowdy Rabbit – includes a radio inside to help kids learn to relax

• Porky Panda – includes a hidden blanket inside to keep kids warm



As you can see I chose to review Rowdy Rabbit. Since it has a radio in it, it was perfect for my daughter to sleep with since she needs background sound to sleep.

He was a bit bigger than I thought he would be. I was thinking the size of a regular sized teddy bear but it is about the size of 4 of them combined. Pretty decent size! And yes, he is super fuzzy. The only downside is he tended to "shed" for the first few hours.

The radio signal is better than I expected. Channels come in clear and the radio does turn up pretty loud. Loud enough for me to tell her to turn it down!

He is sweet and adorable and she loves him!

I don't think I would recommend these for kids under 4, or kids that are really rough with toys. The best ages I think would be 5-99.

The Dark Knot. Super nice ties for the man in your life!

*I was sent this tie to facilitate my review. No other compensation was given.


Whats up with the name?   When they were conceptualizing a brand name of the necktie line, they wanted their brand to be a symbolism of masculinity and strength, while still maintaining an aura of chicness.  They feel that the brand name and panther logo embody these concepts and help bring the brand to life.  The panther represents strength and speed, and the black and white theme encompassing the whole name and logo demonstrates a level of chicness that is apparent throughout the product, from final construction of the ties, to the quality and packaging, suit and shirt recommendations and tie clips.


They are constructed using silk of the highest quality, and are interlined with a double layer of wool and cotton, resulting in a rich, thick feel
Each of our ties comes with a card with recommendations for matching suits and shirts, ensuring you look your dapper best every time you step out.
My opinion:
I love this tie! Its soft and masculine at the same time. I am giving this to my husband as his gift from the kids. I will NEVER buy another tie at Wal-Mart again! The extra cost is definitely worth it!

About StickerYou:
- StickerYou is the only online platform in the world where you can upload your own designs or artwork to create completely custom stickers, labels, large format decals, temporary tattoos, iron-ons and magnets. 
- Order your sticky products in any shape, any size and any quantity you wish. StickerYou has no minimum order quantity on most products so you can order the right number of stickers or labels to fit your event. 
- StickerYou's custom die-cut algorithm allows them to die-cut around the edge of your sticker or label design creating a unique shape. You are not limited to standard shapes.
- The company began in 2008 and has since expanded operations twice. They are located in Toronto, ON, Canada but ship products all over the world, right to your door step.
About Label/Sticker Products:
- Bottle labels are one of our most popular products. Use them to label your homemade goods such as jams, honey, cookies bags and more.
- Our premium vinyl material has great color reproduction, which means it is easy to match the color of the labels to a specific theme or color scheme. 
- Customers have the choice between white vinyl material or clear vinyl material. We typically recommend white vinyl for bright colors or busy designs. But the clear labels also look beautiful if going for a more simplistic or modern design.
- The labels have a high quality shine which gives them a very professional look.
- The labels are photo quality so customers can even upload photos and use them on their products.
- The material will apply bubble free and has a strong but removable adhesive. If an error is made during application, the labels can be peeled up and replaced. The label will remove clean with no adhesive left behind.
- Labels will arrive in 8.5x11" pages. Depending on how large/small your labels, you may be able to fit as many as 100 labels on a page. Delivering in page sizes makes the labels easier to handle, especially if they need to be transported around before they are actually applied.
- The material is waterproof, dishwasher safe, microwave safe, heat resistant, fade resistant and will stand up to mild abrasion.
- Our online platform has tons of templates. This is perfect for people who want to DIY their labels but do not have strong design skills. They can still get a great look which they created themselves. All templates have customizable color, text, images and fonts.
- Some of our templates were inspired by or taken directly from some beautiful designs our customers created. We like to think we inspire our customers, but often they inspire new ideas for us as well.

About Temporary Tattoo Products:
- Temporary tattoos make great party favors. Like our labels, temporary tattoos are simple to create. Simply upload a design, choose the size, and then quantity. They are shipped right to your door in days.
- StickerYou's temporary tattoos apply like most temporary tattoos. Simply peel the plastic film up, apply ink side down on skin, then hold in place on skin with a damp cloth. After a few seconds, peel up the paper backing and blow gently until dry.
- Temporary tattoos will last for 2-3 days but can be removed easily with soap and a cloth, baby oil or rubbing alcohol.
- StickerYou's temporary tattoos are non-toxic and FDA approved.

About Large Format Decals:
(Also known as wall decals, floor decals, window decals and street decals)
- Large format decals are our latest product and have proven very popular with small businesses, however they are also great for seasonal decorating, room decor or use during parties or special events (like weddings). They will stick great but remove clean afterwards.
- They can be ordered in any size up to 4 feet by 6 feet. Will apply smooth and can be removed without causing any damage. 
- Street decals are made of a special material which allows them to mold to rough outdoor surfaces, such as brick, cement, concrete or asphalt. They have non-slip surfaces and are waterproof and UV resistant. They will also remove easily, and damage free. The material is durable enough to be walked (or danced) on.

Art Therapy, Coloring for Adults

I was sent an Art Therapy Set in exchange for my fair and honest review. 
My opinions are my own and no other compensation was given.




If you are in the United States click HERE to go to the main website of artherapycollection.com.

Get issues 1 and 2 plus your FREE pencil case for just $4.95 and no S&H . 
Get issues 2 and 3 plus your FREE magazine tidy box and FREE coloring board for the special price of $9.90 and just $1 S&H per issue. 
Each issue thereafter is $4.95 each + $1 S&H per issue. 

Every month, Art therapy brings you indispensable, artist-quality supplies that build up into a complete coloring set to create sensational pieces.

Each issue is complemented by pencils or markers specially selected in a full spectrum of colors to add your own creative touch to the designs. Immerse yourself in coloring and be inspired to experiment and achieve stunning results.

Not only can you create colorful pictures, coloring can help reduce stress and anxiety according to psychologists and psychiatrists. 

I color with the kids in their coloring books. This book however has smaller lines and areas that adults can appreciate. I do about 10-15 minutes a day in my room and I actually enjoy it. I have found that I like the time alone and I think the coloring is relaxing.

The designs are simple enough to be easy to color and the designs keep my attention. 

You must be careful though. My girls were super excited to see these books and I had to hide them for a few days so they wouldn't color in them before I did! 

I definitely think every adult should have a few of these in their home, even if they are 99!

Why I wear my wedding ring.

This is an opinion piece. My opinion. You are entitled to your own.

I saw a post from another blogger a few days ago that kind of irritated me a bit. It was titled "Why I don't wear my wedding ring". Honestly, I didn't think much of the post. And here is my opinion why.

I wear my wedding ring, not my diamond (Loose prong and scared of the diamond falling out but will be fixed soon!) my choice.  My husband does not, his choice. It does bother me, a bit but we are still married, in a trouble time, but still married. I love him and he loves me. 

I can understand not wearing your ring if you are in a job that wearing such a thing could put you at risk of injury such as a burn or actually loosing the finger. I can understand if you lost weight and it no longer fits, or you gained weight and your finger got too big. A ring can be re-sized so its not a long term thing. 

The post I read had petty reasons. 

She didn't like the way her ring would turn and catch on things. So don't wear the diamond or engagement ring. Only wear the band. That's what I do. It doesn't other me, at all.

She didn't care if "Joe Schmo" at the grocery store knew if she was taken or not. I'm the opposite. I'm proud of being married to my best friend and I want the world to know that I'm happy to wear the gift of rings he gave me. I want to "warn away" other men. I am taken and have no interest in your flirting and come on lines. Yes, I know some still do that and it has happened to me. I just show my hand smile as I walk away!

She said "Its just a ring". Not its not. Its a symbol of love and commitment that is between you and your spouse. They are a symbol of your love and affection. Not wearing it does show to others, weather you mean it to or not, that there is something missing.

Its expensive. Like I said before I wear my gold band. I don't wear my diamond. That I wear if we go out together or its a special occasion. I like to show it off. It has a special place in my jewelry box. I don't wear it around the house as I don't have a need to. The kids know we are married, they don't need to see the flashy. Just the plain gold band. 

From the article: The meaning of the naked finger:  I have a friend who has had affairs with a lot of married men, and she says the reason she even talked to them in the first place was because not one wore a wedding ring. Later, after she’d slept with them, they’d tell her they were married, and when she asked why they didn’t wear rings, they all gave the same explanation: “I just don’t like jewelry.” When she told me this, she shook her head wryly and said, “All those married women out there whose husbands aren’t wearing rings should be worried. It’s never an innocent choice.”

That, bothers me to no end. It does scream available when the ring isn't there. The ring is the symbol of TAKEN. 

Even when a marriage is in jeopardy or trouble the wedding ring should remain. In my opinion unless you are in a high risk job and cant wear the ring at work, it should be on your finger!

I know it sounds petty and small but it is my personal opinion and I am entitled to it!

I welcome any and all comments! Please be polite and remember, 
I will delete the comment if its is offensive.

Here are what some others have to say about the wearing of the ring(s):

KiKi B.: I wear my wedding ring because it is a symbol of our eternal love and commitment.

Faith of Our Fathers, DVD Review & Giveaway, A Pure Flix Movie


Disclosure (in accordance with the FTC’s 16 CFR, Part 255: “Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising”): Many thanks to Propeller Consulting, LLC for providing this prize for the giveaway. Choice of winners and opinions are 100% my own and NOT influenced by monetary compensation. I did receive a sample of the product in exchange for this review and post.


John Paul and Wayne are two young men in search of their fathers.  Problem is...their fathers have been dead for 25 years.  Eddie and Steven are two young men in search of their sons...whom they've never met.  In 1969, Eddie and Steven are with their squad deep in the jungle of Vietnam on a five-day mission to retrieve fallen comrades.  They write letters to their wives, often mentioning their love for their sons, one, who is an infant and one yet to be born.  In 1994, John Paul and Wayne go on a five day road trip to the Vietnam Wall in Washington DC to see their fathers' names.  Along the way, reading those letters, they begin to get an understanding of who their fathers were and how they died.  Trials and mishaps, both funny and sad, complicate the road trip for the boys.  The horrors of war and the testing of faith manifest themselves for the young men in Vietnam.  Ultimately, in parallel stories - 25 years apart - the fathers and sons are bound together forever.

Simply log on or call: 1-844-SEE-DOCS (1-844-733-3627) 

 If your a busy mom like me, you hardly have time to get the kids into the doctor let alone yourself! On Amwell, you can make the time for those non emergency consultations because you are doing it from your own home. Personally I like that! It takes alot for me to get out of the house. I must have showered and makeup and look decent. This way, its ok if I have a slight smell because the doctor doesn't know that! I can also make the appointment when I can give it the time it deserves!
 They offer all the services you see above. I have used the medical before, so this time I used the Psychology. This is the time of year when I get really stressed out. With the Holidays and family and the added financial issues on top of my anxiety and regular stress, I need a doctor to talk things over with and to help me get back to a peaceful mind set. 
As you see in the above picture, you can choose which doctor you want to see. You will see if they are offline, with someone already (waiting room) or available to see you (start visit).
 As you can see from the above picture, you can fill out the same information forms that you would at a physical doctors office. You can decline to do this. It isn't mandatory. You can even choose to not allow the doctor you have chosen to see this record. 




Looking at the chart, you can see the various ranges that you are charged for services. Some of these are less than what a normal co-pay would be with our insurance. Yes, therapists are bit more but it is still cheaper than the doc I would see down the road! And its easy for me to use online!

For us moms who hardly have time for anything for ourselves, this service is a blessing!

Please keep in mind tho, if you think its an emergency please go see your regular doctor, go to the ED or a walk in clinic. An online doctor is not a replacement for physical care from your physician.

And there is an offer in it for my readers as well! Get a free visit with ANY doctor on the site! This visit is FREE so you can save from $49 to $95! Honestly what would a free visit cost you? NOTHING!!!
