Tru Fragrance Perfume for WomenPerfume for women is one of the little indulgences I love to shop for.  Wearing a great smelling perfume is always an instant pick-me-up and gives me a renewed sense of confidence.  I'm usually partial to floral or musky perfumes and so when I learned of the brand new variety from Tru Fragrance, Sinful for Her, I just had to give it a whiff.

Sinful for Her is a bold new perfume for women that's available at Buckle.  It combines fruity, floral and woodsy together in one long-lasting scent which constantly changes as you move through your day.

I reviewed Sinful for Her Eau de Parfum (2 oz.) from Buckle, which retails for $49.95 but is currently on sale for $39.95.

Little Looster Many parents of young children quickly begin to wonder how to start potty training their little sprout.  I don't have much experience on this topic besides that of my own personal saga with Riley, but I learned quickly how much the right potty training products affect the whole process.

Since beginning the potty training journey with Riley, there's one thing I discovered, and that is that I hated using a separate, tiny potty just for her.  These potties would take up way too much room in our small bathroom and are havens for germs and bacteria.  Also, if you don't want your bathroom to smell, you must thoroughly scrub the little potty EVERY time your child uses it.

Geesh!  Of course, the simplest way to potty train would be just to have your child use the big potty from the start and skip the intermediary tiny potty all together.  But, if you want your child to be truly self-sufficient when using the big potty, you have to provide an adequate way for them to safely get up on the potty seat to use it.  This is where the Looster Booster from Little Looster comes in.  Keep reading to learn much more!

I reviewed the Looster Booster from Little Looster which retails for $34.99, but is currently on sale for $29.98 with FREE SHIPPING.

PRWebAs a struggling small business owner, I find it difficult and expensive to "get the word out" about my invention, Toothpaste 2 Go.  My husband and I have been actively selling this device on our own website for almost 2 years and although we sell quite a few that way, we're still looking for our big break.

If there's one thing I've learned from also being a blog owner, it's that promotion and advertising are everything and can make a huge difference in your company's bottom line.  But if you're like me and own a business without a large advertising budget, then online news releases might be just what you're searching for.
