I was recently sent a pair of clear ears ear plugs to try out. these are not your ordinary ear plugs, to help you sllep, or just try to ignore someone. These are to protect your ears from water(swimmers ear). they dry out your ears after water enters them. you can use them brfore or after a shower or swimming.
These are great they really helped the extracting of water in my ears after my shower. they are a bit uncomfortable, but it’s better then having swimmers ear.
Having two little girls in the house. i love playing dress up and princess with them. They sometimes ask me to paint their nails, they are so young that i’m afraid they will put their fingers in their mouths, or scratch it off.
Piggy paint is
non toxic
odorless
water based formula
hypoallergenic
they come in fun vibrant colors
Melanie Hurley, founder of Piggy Paint. Is a stay-at-home mom with two very fancy little girls, ages 2 and 4, who love to have their fingernails painted. She always hated the thought of her kiddos putting their hands in their mouths after she painted their nails with traditional kid polishes. The ingestion of the chemicals worried her, and the smell nearly left her light-headed after painting two sets of fingernails and toenails.
she wanted to make a better solution and piggy paints was born.
we were offered the color blue, and i immediatly put it on my daughters. they were super excited. but as i suspected they immediatly started putting their hands in mouths, and trying to bite off the poliush. Thank goodness it’s chemical free. we really enjoyed this product and i would recommend it to anyone who has little princess’s.
I also recieved the nail polish remover from Piggy paint, which is also non toxic, and contains non of the harsh chemicals that would hurt your nose. piggy paint retails at $9.99 each or you can but a bundle of 3 for $26.50. the remover retails at $10.50

i got to try out some Pace Picante salsa. the regular salsa, mild. plus the new Salsa Verde.
Pace was started by a young Texan (David Pace) who started out producing the freshest picante sauce. he went through ingredients and bottling techniques to find the perfect blend. the final product a blend of tomatoes, onions, and jalapenos, and a unique production process.
The regualr salsa, medium is what we usually buy when we are in the mood for salsa. It tastes very good, plus it’s thick and chunky, which is always a plus.
features onions,tomatoes, and jalapenos.

I got to review Diane Birch’s CD. She is a new artist and her first CD , Bible Belt came out on June 2. Bible Belt hit the Top 10 Albums on iTunes last Tuesday and Diane Birch is receiving high praises from being compared to Stevie Nicks with a little bit of Joss Stone and Cat Power mixed.
Bible Belt was written by Diane and was recorded in New York City and New Orleans with an impressive team of Grammy-winning producers: S-Curve Records founder Steve Greenberg, soul legend Betty Wright and Mike Mangini. This is their first project together since producing Joss Stone’s first albums.
She has a beautiful voice, it’s not really my style of music. I think that she sounds like Amy Winehouse just toned down. the songs are very relaxing and she does sound a lot like Stevie Nicks too, which is one of my favs!
You can listen to Firescape here and you can check out Diane Birch on Myspace here.

I got to try the new Salsa Verde. It was very good, and spicy. tasted like Salsa Verde Doritos. After it was refrigerated, it tasted a bit different. it still had flavor, but it had a weird after taste, that i wasn’t fond of.
