Giveaway – Spongeables Pedi-Scrub Review {I Heart Series}

Being Pampered!

 

I have been pampering myself with my new Spongeables Pedi-Scrub! Having tile in our house has always been rough on my feet. It has been nice to give my feet a little TLC with my new Pedi-Scrub.

Spongeables® Pedi-Scrub is the best thing to happen to feet since Manolo. One side is soft and gentle, infused with soap and aromatic botanicals to leave feet clean, fresh and sweet smelling. But the other side is where the action is. It’s pure bliss.  Made to buff away dry, rough skin on heels and soles, shine up the toenails, and exfoliate dry skin, Pedi-Scrub’s scrubby-texture provides a stimulating massage that revives tired feet and leaves them tingling. The perfect antidote to stiletto pumps!”

Before I even opened the package of the Spongeable in the mail I could smell the Citron-Eucalyptus scent and have been enjoying it ever since. I liked having the all-in-one action of the soap on one side and the exfloiator on the other side. This way I do not have to worry about misplacing either part. That is a definite positive!

After my first test of the Pedi-Scrub I could feel an immediate difference, especially on my heels. My rough edges were smoother and my feet were left feeling very refreshed. And I might add, the  room smelled pretty good, too! When I was done with the scrubber, I set it aside and it dried quickly. According to the box, each Pedi-Scrub has 20+ washes. I am excited to enjoy many more pampering nights with my feet!

 

Spongeables would like to give 1 Fun On a Dime Reader many pamper nights with their own Pedi-Scrub.

Giveaway – Loopeez Shoe Tying Aid Review {I Heart Series}

Independence!

 

One of the most exciting things about watching your child learn and grow is when they start learning how to be independent. My 5 year old recently conquered tying his own shoes and now my 4 year old has the itch to learn how. With the help of Loopeez Shoe Tying Aid, she is pretty close after only a few tries!

“Loopeez is a mom invented product that revolutionizes the way kids learn to tie shoes. Loopeez is the first shoe tying aid to teach directly on the child’s shoe and teach BOTH methods of tying. With Loopeez, parents and kids can learn to tie in a fun way eliminating the frustration of shoe tying. Kids love the cool designs and colors and parents love how fast they work. Kids learn to tie in minutes. Loopeez are also great for special needs, Autism, stroke, arthritis and one handed tying.”

My daughter received a pair of the pink butterfly Loopeez Shoe Tying Aid and a pair of pink and white bi- color teaching laces.  We attempted the first time or two using the Loopeez without the bi-color laces and she definitely grasped the concept of tying shoes easier than ever before. But, once we replaced her regular shoe laces with the bi-color laces she was a pro after her first try. Having the two toned lace made it easier to talk her through the process. (i.e. “hold the pink lace in your right hand and the white lace in your left hand”, etc.). Having the Loopeez breaks down the shoe tying process into smaller steps. Once she masters tying the loops together over/under, then it will be easier to show her how to create the loops and hold them later.

Learning how to tie shoes has now turned from a frustrating tearful event into a fun little success for our family. I don’t cringe anymore when she brings me her “big girl” shoes and I am actually excited to watch her tie her own shoes! And her face when she is done has to be the best part of all. She is pretty darn proud of herself!

 

Loopeez would like to give 1 Fun On a Dime Reader their own pair of Loopeez Shoe Tying Aid (choice of girl swirl or boys army).

A Mile In His Shoes {Review & Giveaway}

 

Looking at this cover of A Mile In His Shoes from Vivendi Entertainment and just seeing the names of the actors, Dean Cain and Luke Schroder, and the director, William Dear (Angels in the Outfield), was enough to make me want to watch it. Let me tell you, I was not disappointed!

Great Family Movie

This is a great family movie about a losing minor league baseball team and a coach who saw potential in a young farmer with an incredible arm and Asperger’s syndrome, a form of autism. It shows how a team learns to deal with differences and how a disability does not have to keep anyone from succeeding. The movie is all family friendly…clean language, decent clothing and there was even a “party scene” that was the cleanest I’ve ever seen (no alcohol, nothing inappropriate) but did the job. Just watch the trailer and you will want to see the movie, too. (If you can’t see the video below, click here)

I love these inspirational films and I recommend this to anyone looking for a good family film! It comes out on DVD on Jan. 10th.

A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventures {Review & Giveaway}

Hi, Debra here! Michelle asked my family to do a review on the movie “A Turtle’s Tale” and we jumped at the chance. I was a little surprised that she asked us to do one again because we gave a not-so-kind review to the first movie she asked us to review. The second movie she asked us to review was promptly broken in half by an over-zealous 2 year-old that decided she’d try to set up a private viewing for herself.

I thought for sure that our chances of doing another review for Fun On a Dime were over, but lo and behold, we were given another chance. I am so glad we were, too.

A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventures was really enjoyable to watch. The animation was just as good as any of the major studios and the music was catchy and not at all cheap-sounding or corny. The story is the telling of the life of a little turtle from the day of his hatching in 1959 up to the present day. He faces so many dangers and perils in his life, most of which are man-made. The lives of the creatures he meets on his journey to travel around the depths of the ocean are affected by the choices man is making on the surface of the earth.

It is a story of friendship, true-love, sticking together, and protecting the earth, but it is not in any way preachy or over-bearing in that message. My kids were enthralled through the whole thing, even my crazy 2 year-old and two teen-agers. The first thing they did when they woke the next morning after watching it was to ask to watch it again.  And I was happy to let them! It was refreshing to see a kids’ movie that didn’t have any ”adult humor” (as if that would sell a kids’ movie) snuck into it. It was purely fun to watch!

It comes out on DVD on Jan. 3rd and I totally think it is worth buying! A Turtles Tale: Sammy’s Adventures is also available itunes.

Shabby Apple Giveaway {Ends 01/18}

I cannot think of a better way to kick of the New Year than with a GIVEAWAY from…

Dresses from Shabby Apple

Shabby Apple not only offers affordable, stylish attire for women perfect for any occasion, but they also have vintage jewelry and super cute little girl dresses. I have always been a big admirer of Shabby Apple’s women’s dresses and now I love the company even more after I found this statement on their site:

“We started Shabby Apple because we saw a need in women’s fashion that was not being met. A need to make women feel feminine and beautiful for what they wear, not what they bare. We offer flirty, stylish dresses a woman can wear just as comfortably in the office, at a family dinner, or on a date.”

And they really are all about making you feel great in what you are wearing…

“A return to what dresses were always meant to be — a one-piece outfit. No need to add anything…no tank tops, no cardigans, nothing (except accessories, of course!).”

So, to add to your “accessories” Shabby Apple has generously offered to give one Fun On a Dime reader this gorgeous piece from their vintage jewelry called

The White Rabbits Time Keeper {$64 Value}!!

Can’t you just picture it paired with some beads? Love it!

{Movie Review & Giveaway} The Garfield Show: Dinosaurs and Other Animal Adventures

 

I love that these shows that I liked when I was younger, like The Garfield Show: Dinosaurs & Other Animal Adventures from Vivendi Entertainment, are becoming popular again with my children’s generation. It was fun to let my children watch these episodes over the Christmas break. I did not know if they would be into Garfield, yet, but I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were quite taken with him. If I was not paying attention, I am sure they would watch all 6 episodes on this video and start them all over again! It is nice to have a show that both my son and daughter will watch together and does not leave them karate chopping each other at the end like some of  the preferred “action shows”.

Everyone’s favorite cat is at it again!  Join this larger than life feline and his animal friends as they embark on a series of adventures from digging up dinosaur bones, working with farm animals and discovering life under the sea.  No stone is left unturned as Garfield takes us through the history of dogs, attends a pet show and even prepares to eat a pet goldfish!  Being part of the animal kingdom has never been any more exciting!”

The Garfield Show: Dinosaurs & Other Animal Adventures is available now for order and will be released on January 10 for the suggested retail price of $14.93 ($11.99 on Amazon). The video includes these 6 fun filled episodes:

  • Down on the Farm
  • The Pet Show
  • Bone Diggers
  • Underwater World
  • Fish to Fry
  • History of Dogs

I have 1 copy of  The Garfield Show: Dinosaurs and Other Animal Adventures for one lucky Fun On a Dime reader to share with their family!
