Coffee Mate’s New Latin Flavors Giveaway Closed#LatinTouchCGC

September 3, 2014October 2, 2014 - brandy3 322 Comments

Coffee Mate has new flavors to help make your coffee more enjoyable. Latin flavors include…..

Dulce De Leche- creamy, dreamy, milk caramel caress from the Southern side of the continent.
Abuelita Chocolate- silky, cinnamony, rich, authentic experience

I only recently started drinking coffee when I gave up soda. Figured it was better for me, but hate the taste of coffee. I started trying different creamers to help with the taste.
My favorite is Dulce De Leche, I have always been a big fan of carmel. The creamer ads the perfect blend flavor for my coffee. Reminds me of home in Arizona. The Abuelita Chocolate is very creamy and sweet, It’s like having a bit of dessert for breakfast.

When these first came out in June they were only available in the southwest of the united states, but now I am seeing them everywhere even here on the East coast. To find them near you visit here.

I am giving away Coffee Mate prize pack, a lucky reader can try these new flavors.

Embassy Suites Is A Family Friendly Hotel #EmbassySuites

August 16, 2014March 14, 2016 - brandy3 1 Comment

This past weekend we were given a complimentary stay at the Embassy Suites hotel In Buffalo NY.

When we first arrived I was amazed at how big and beautiful the hotel was.

When we first checked in there was a bit of confusion as a guest had a last name similar to mine and the room were mixed up. We got it all sorted out though and walked into the biggest hotel room I have ever seen. It was complete suite with a separate bedroom, and living room, a big bathroom and a kitchenette complete with a mini fridge and microwave. Plus the views from the 6th floor were amazing.

The first thing my kids wanted to do when we arrived was swim. The Embassy Suites has a indoor pool and spa. My kids loved it.

When we came back from the pool, we were pleasantly surprised with some goodies the hotel staff had left us for the room mix up with a lovely note.

Embassy Suites has a complimentary breakfast, and if you stay in a suite you can get made to order breakfast. Either way the breakfast is delicious and very kid friendly. They had things like cereal, eggs, sausage, and other things.

My kids thoughts on the hotel:

Hotel Room Tour:

There are so many kid friendly things to do around Embassy Suites Buffalo. The waterfront and Naval yard are only a few short miles.

There is the Buffalo Zoo, they also have a baby Rhino and Baby Gorilla.

Niagara Falls is only 30-45 minutes away and is a must see, if you are in the area.

Buffalo is known as the home of the orginal Buffalo wings, the Anchor Bar and Duffs are in the area and a great place to try for lunch and dinner.

I would definitely recommend staying here when you travel to Buffalo.

Have you ever stayed at a Embassy Suites? What are your thoughts.

Disclosure: A gift card was received to help facilitate this post.

Living on the East coast has it’s perks, one of them is having Stop and Shop as a grocery store. They have tons of great deals going on.

Plus, one of the main reasons I shop there is for the Scan It feature.

The Scan It option lets you use a scan gun while you shop to keep track of what you are buying and price. I love it, because it helps me stay on budget.

Stop and Shop has a great deal going on for the rest of the week when you buy a name brand product you get the same product just the Stop and Shop brand for free.

This week the deals are:

I just love when they have these deals going on as you get twice as much. Plus the Stop and Shop brand is just as good as the national brands.

Get A New Dental Facelift

July 25, 2014July 25, 2014 - brandy3

Disclosure: A gift card is being provided for sharing this information.

Everyone wants to have a perfect smile, but no one wants to experience the pain or price of getting that perfect smile.

SmileSimplicity is a new non invasive way to get Porcelain Veneers. What makes this so different from regular Veneers

Traditional veneer procedures rely on mechanical technology, which means the dentist must grind away sensitive tooth structure to accommodate the new porcelain veneer. The SmileSimplicity difference is the difference between chemistry and mechanics. With a SmileSimplicity procedure there is no compromise to the health of teeth. A traditional veneer procedure can occasionally damage tooth structure, causing pulpal death that requires a root canal.

No pian and no needles, sounds like a dream come true and this is definitely a procedure that I want to make my smile perfect, but I still need work before I can even consider it.

Big Fish Games Introduces Cascade #Games #SP

July 18, 2014July 17, 2014 - brandy3 2 Comments

Big Fish Games is launching their newest game cascade.

Cascade is a level-based Match-3 game that combines a unique mash-up of skill and luck with a slots mechanic. Each hand-crafted puzzle is quick and fun so you can play anywhere, anytime, and for as long as you want. Cascade also comes with social features that allow players to invite their Facebook friends to enjoy the fun, send each other gifts, and compete for the high score in the Daily Challenge. With new puzzles and challenges being added every month, it’s a never-ending cascade of fun

Cascade may look familiar to a popular candy crushing game on Facebook, but I guarantee you it is way different. Cascade lets you match 3 in any way, it really makes you think about different combinations. It was a big challenge for my kids at first. They were only doing straight across combinations, but they are finally getting the hang of it.

They are already starting to want to play it all the time. For me it seemed very easy, but also challenging at the same time. I couldn’t believe how many combinations I was missing in the game.

You can download Cascade today and start playing.

Perfect Grad Gifts from Best Buy #GreatestGrad @bestbuy

June 18, 2014 - brandy3

Disclosure:The 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.

Every 4 years I have been attending a graduation. I know it seems like a lot, but it has been enjoyable watching my husband achieve his goals. Army graduation, then undergraduate and next year will be his graduate school graduation with a PHD.

Since tho is the biggest graduation, I want to get him a gift he’ll always love and remember.

Best Buy has great gift ideas for those Grads that are moving out, networking for a new job, or the fitness fanatic grad.

My husband has been wanting to get a new Blu-ray Player, which is a idea on the gift guide. You can find that here.
I think that since he is graduating and will be taking on a lot more research and possibly even starting teaching. I will be looking into getting him the
SanDisk Connect 32GB USB 2.0 Wireless Flash Drive:

This would be a great gift for him, because it stores so much and as a scientist he goes through tons of research papers on a daily basis. Plus it allows you to share information through multiple devices which is great for when he travels to conferences. You can also choose to keep all information password protected. That is a big one if you ever lose it and don’t want anything shared.

Join us For Twitter Parties:
Best Buy will be hosting to Twitter Parties celebrating graduates.
Thursday 6/19 at 7PM CST and Tuesday 6/24 at 7PM CST, follow the hashtag #GreatestGrad

Well Well! Maleficent Is Amazing!

May 29, 2014 - brandy3 3 Comments

Disclosure: I was invited to a screening in my local area to see the movie. No compensation was provided other than free tickets.

I was a little skeptical about this movie just hearing about it because honestly I’ve never really been a fan of Angelina Jolie and the movie just did not sound interesting to me. Another take on a Disney Fairytale is all I thought.

My kids really wanted to see it and since it was my daughters birthday I thought okay we will go. I rarely do this but I will admit I was wrong. The movie was totally AMAZING!!!!! Angelina Jolie was the perfect person for the part.

In the beginning you see the magical wonders of the Moore where Maleficent lives with all the fairy tale creatures. She soon meets a human boy Stephen and becomes smitten. They keep meeting, but he starts to become greedy. The king also hears about Maleficent’s power and starts a attack to destroy her, so he will be the only one powerful.
He fails and falls ill, he announces his successor will be the one who defeats Maleficent. He comes back and pretends to be in love with Maleficent, but one night while she is asleep, he tries to kill her but can’t so cuts off her wings instead.
Fast forward to him being king and announcing the birth of his daughter.
From there it is much like the fairy tale sleeping beauty. She curses the baby and the 3 fairies hide in the woods until she is almost 16 and she escapes, pricks her finger and falls into a deep sleep.
She does awaken by true loves kiss but it’s not what you think. I am going to stop there and if you want to know the rest you will have to see the movie.
Like all Disney movies it all works out in the end!!

I will say there are a lot of parts with fighting and a bit of dark magic, but it’s all in good taste. So some kids under 5 may be scared. My kids 6, 8, and 9 all loved it.

Disney’s Maleficent flys into theaters this friday May 30, 2014.

Amazon Studios Presents Tumble Leaf #MC #Sponsored

May 23, 2014May 23, 2014 - brandy3

Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Amazon Studios. I received a product sample to facilitate my review and promotional item to thank me for participating.

Amazon Studios was launched in 2010 as a way to view films and program series. It works in 2 ways.

There are a lot of great ideas inHollywood, but not everyone can be there or get their work into the right hands.Amazon Studios is open to ideas from around the world. We are proud to haverecognized talented writers and filmmakers in the US, Canada, the UK, China,Zimbabwe, the Dominican Republic and other countries. Great ideas are out there.
Amazon Studios invites the audience in early. Amazon Studios seeks feedback aboutprojects and ideas, even in their earliest stages. And to reach the most people, we try toshape stories into a form that is short, or visual, or both.

They are launching a new pre-school series just for kids.

The series is called Tumble Leaf! Each episode will feature Fig, a blue fox who lives in a shipwrecked schooner ship by the sea. Fig is accompanied by his best friend Stick, a caterpillar who lives in a basket strapped to Fig’s forearm. Together they discover friendship, adventure and love all around.

The series will teach valuable lessons:

Learning to count
Value of Friendship
and so much more

The series will launch on Amazon Prime Instant Video on May 23, 2014

*** The series is so cute and informative. My kids really enjoyed it, although I think it is more for the younger crowd. The animation is great, but it is a little similar to other animation.

You can watch the pilot episode for Tumble Leaf and other Amazon series here.

Protecting Your workouts With Just Go Girl #SP

May 3, 2014 - brandy3

Disclosure:This is a sponsored post by the Role Mommy Writer’s Network.

When you have 3 or more kids you tend to learn that leaks can happen, it can get embarrassing. Brooke Solis has created a new way to help women with their workouts.

After the birth of her twins, Brooke Solis was determined to find a way to get back into shape. But an issue with athletic incontinence made exercise — particularly high-impact movement and jumping — a real obstacle. With five kids and a busy career as an attorney, Brooke looked to her
workouts as the one hour of the day that she could dedicate to herself but as much as she loved high impact workouts, the incontinence pads that she wore during those workouts made her self conscious and uncomfortable.

It didn’t take much research for Brooke to realize that she wasn’t the only woman dealing with athletic incontinence: Estimates find that 25 million women — from high school athletes and new mothers to women past their childbearing years — share her problem. That’s one out of every three women who may avoid exercise and its physical and mental health benefits because they are worried about athletic leaks.

Never one to bow to a challenge, Brooke decided that if the right product to address the issue didn’t yet exist, she’d create one.

After several trials, Brooke designed a pad that’s not only inconspicuous under form-fitting workout clothes, but is also comfortable and absorbent. While the pads are less bulky than a traditional sanitary napkin, they can hold up to 140ml of urine. She then decided to make the innovative JustGo Pad™, available to all active women as a solution to what can be an embarrassing and uncomfortable problem.

Since its launch, this groundbreaking product has allowed women all over the country to “just go” on their runs, to their group fitness classes and to CrossFit training without frustration or anxiety. As a result, Solis has heard from grateful women of all ages and stages of life. By opening up the discussion about this issue, Solis has created a community where women not only can find an effective solution, but support and encouragement, as well.

About Brooke:
Raised in the Midwest, Brooke is a self-proclaimed “Type-A personality.” A graduate of Notre Dame, she worked in the financial sector before attending Yale Law School. A practicing attorney, Brooke currently lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and family. Her company, JustGoGirl, was launched in January 2014.
