Show Us the Real “U” in Uniform Contest

Aug 30, 2010

Did you know more than 1 in 5 public schools have a dress code? In addition to the private, parochial and charter schools that have dress codes.

Does your child(ren) attend a school with a dress code or maybe you have friends, family or neighbors whose child(ren) attend a school with a dress code? If so, here’s their chance to highlight what makes their school unique and special.

French Toast, a leading provider of school uniforms has launched a $15,000 contest for kids who attend a school with a dress code. The contest is titled “Show Us The Real ‘U’ in Uniform”, a place where kids have an opportunity to showcase their creativity and individuality.

For your chance to enter this contest, parents and kids can visit uninuniform to submit your essay or video with pictures. Be sure to follow the instructions for submitting your entry. The last day to submit an entry is September 15.

On November 1, French Toast will post the 10 finalists and the public will vote to determine the grand prize winner. The grand prize is $10,000 in cash and a $5,000 voucher from French Toast.

Good luck to all!

Review: Suave Naturals Lavender Vanilla Body Wash & Lotion Giveaway

Aug 23, 2010

Suave Naturals Lavender Vanilla: I am a huge fan of bath products with a great fragrance.  The Suave Lavender Vanilla body wash and lotion were such a treat.   When I snapped open the body wash bottle I loved the light scent.   The body wash has a very creamy consistency with a wonderful and relaxing fragrance and very moisturizing on the skin.   The lavender fragrance is a great way to unwind after a long day.

Another use I have for body wash is adding it to my bath water for a tub filled with fragrant bubbles.   The Lavender Vanilla lotion has a light scent and was moisturizing on my skin.   I like when the lotion fragrance complements the body wash fragrance because it allows you to layer for a long lasting scent.  Suave Naturals Lavender Vanilla.

Giveaway: For your chance to win your own Suave Naturals body wash & lotion, share your a comment on your favorite scent or scent memory! Ends on Monday September 27th at 12:00 AM.

Disclosure: The product was received from Weber Shandwick free of charge for the review. No compensation was received for review.

Review “Beautiful Creatures” by Ed Jordan & Alan Glass

Aug 12, 2010

Music is such a big part of my life as well as for my 9yo DS and 3yo DD.   The kids listen to a variety of music in the house and car.  I was so thrilled when Paul Choritz of Beautiful Creatures tweeted me with an opportunity to review the “Beautiful Creatures” CD.   Beautiful Creatures was formed in South Africa in November 2004 by Paul Choritz, Alan Glass and Ed Jordan to provide parent friendly children’s music.

The Beautiful Creatures CD contains 10 tracks, with the first 6 tracks giving an upbeat dance tempo about African animals, “Imvubu the happiest Hippo”, “Lucas the lucky Lion”,  “Mafutha”(the elephant), “Zee Bee Dee Bee Dee” , “Wallace the wonderous Warthog”, “Lorenzo the luckiest Lizard”   My 3yo DD was definitely dancing around when she heard each song.  The last 4 tracks are a slower tempo with “Down Comes the Rain”, Beautiful Creatures which teaches about making a difference to preserve the African plains, and two perfect songs for bedtime the “Night Song” and “African Lullabye”.

To share this wonderful CD with my readers and followers, I will be giving away (3) Beautiful Creatures (downloadable) CDs.    For your chance to win a CD, simply leave a comment(it’s that simple).    The giveaway ends on September 30th at 11:59 PM.

Disclaimer: received a free downloadable version of CD for review; no compensation was received for review.
