Wrap Up of Being A Kotex Mom #KotexMoms

- brandy3 2 Comments

For these past 6 months, I have been able to be one of Mom Central’s Kotex Moms. My daughter has not yet started her period, but it’s not to far away. It’s actually funny, because I thought I had all the time in the world to explain periods to my daughter. Being a Kotex Mom has made me realize that, it’s better to start early and prepare. Girls are starting as young as 7 years old and  every girl is different.

I’m glad that I had the chance to start my daughter on the talks a year or two early, and get her prepared.  She has been kind of embarrassed about talking in front of her younger brother and sister, since they make fun of everything. So we have been going on little outings by ourself every few weeks to talk.  We missed it this last week, thanks to the Hurricane but I will be talking her out again very soon.

We were even sent a little calendar for her to keep track of periods and all the important things in her life. If she is anything like me though, she will never be able to track it. LOL!

I have become really fond of the Kotex brand over these past months, and just love how they introduced Kotex Tween. They really are the perfect fit and very discreet for girls.  My daughter loved how colorful the packaging is, and even said they could be mistaken for one of her post it notes.  That’s actually really good, because they don’t want it to embarrassed by the pads.

If you are getting ready to have the talk with your daughter, please visit here for some helpful tips and videos.

Disclosure:  I wrote this review while participating in a Brand Ambassador Campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of U by Kotex Tween and received products to facilitate my post and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Coppertone is still Fun even without the Sun

- brandy3

This summer I had the honor of being a Coppertone Mom, I was able to try out some great Coppertone products.

As an end of Summer gift Coppertone sent me a few goodies. They sent me a bucket and shovel, some balloons, temporary tattoos, and a Coppertone bag

Summer is over here in NY, so we have not been able to test out the bucket and shovel at the beach just yet. My kids are loving the balloons and temporary tattoos, they have actually gone a little overboard with the tattoos.

My absolute favorite goody would be the bag, It is so big and can carry a lot. It was my life saver during Hurricane Sandy. We lost power for 2 weeks, and had to stay in temporary housing. The bag held all of our non-perishables that we took with us.

I love being a Coppertone Mom, and their products. I grew up in Arizona and now living a few miles from the beach, I am always concerned about skin protection for my family. Coppertone has so many varieties of sun-tan lotion, for kids, adults, sensitive skin and more.

Now I am busy gearing up for next summer!

I just wanted to thank everyone for thinking about us and keeping us n your thoughts. We are now on day 12 of no power, but they said by tomorrow and Tuesday at the latest. I am not holding my breath, since last week they said Wednesday.

Right now we are staying in housing provided by my husbands work, but will be going back home tomorrow power or not.

SkyLanders Giants Are Available At Best Buy Stores

- brandy3 1 Comment

We recently went to Best Buy to do some Christmas shopping and they had the Skylanders Giants Demo set up to play for the PS3. Immediately my kids jumped on it as they love video games.

The Story: Thousands of years ago, the Giants fought epic battles in Skylands but were banished to Earth. With a new threat looming, it’s time to bring them back to join forces with the Skylanders to defeat KAOS. Only you can put them on the Portal of Power to unleash their strength in the ultimate battle to save Skylands!

We had arrived at the store early, so I think we were the first people to play the game for the day. It wasn’t really set up. After a few tries, we got it going. My daughter loved how you incorporate little figurines into the game.

My kids could have stayed there all day and played it was an epic adventure that would never end for my kids. They were switching out characters constantly just to watch them come to life. They wanted to bring the game home that instant!

Skylanders Giants is available at all Best Buy Locations, for a demo please check to see if there is a store near you.

Available on Wii, PS3 and X Box 360 and Nintendo 3DS.

Disclosure: This reviewer Has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.
