PajamaJeansBeing  a busy mom on the go, I often choose comfort over style for my "work attire".  I need to be able to move easily and never want to feel confined throughout the day, which is why you can normally find me in some form of activewear.

I love the look of denim, but with zippers and buttons cutting into you, they're not always the most comfortable choice.  Now, thanks to PajamaJeans, you can truly have your cake and eat it too.  Finally, we're able to enjoy the look and style of denim, while feeling as comfortable as though we were still in our pajamas.

I reviewed the PajamaJeans which retail for $39.95.

ArbonneOne of my absolute favorite fragrances is that of a gardenia flower.  Every since I was a little girl, I've been enamored with the smell of gardenia and have a ton of candles in my house containing that scent.  Unfortunately, I've never been able to find a woman's perfume that smelled predominantly of gardenia...until now.

Arbonne is an innovative new company which has developed an amazing line of botanical-based skin care products.  I've been a fan of Arbonne products for quite some time, yet never realized that they made women's fragrances.  So of course when I learned that there was an Arbonne perfume which smelled of gardenias, I was super excited.  Here's my take on the must-have holiday fragrance from Arbonne, The Angel.

I reviewed The Angel (1.7 oz.) Women's Fragrance from Arbonne, which retails for $87.00.
A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Arbonne The Angel goes to support the Arbonne Charitable Foundation.

OtterBoxThese last few weeks have been thrilling for me because I finally received an iPad as an early Christmas present!  Being a bonafide tech junkie, I've longed to experience the real deal when it comes to tablets.  Of course, my 4-year-old is dying to play a few games on it as well, but there's NO WAY I'm entrusting her with an expensive gadget like this...or is there?

Yes, thanks to the super strong protection offered by the OtterBox Defender Case, I can rest easy and truly enjoy all that my new iPad has to offer...and even share it with my daughter!  Keep reading to learn more about one of the best electronics cases on the market!

I reviewed the iPad Defender Series Case in Alpenglow from OtterBox which retails for $89.99, but is currently on sale for $68.00 with FREE SHIPPING.

iMagnetI'm so excited that this year, Christmas has come early to my house.  I am finally a proud iPad owner!  Couple that with my smartphone and I'm a tech geek to be reckoned with.   :geek:  There's not an app I can't download or task that I can't accomplish now.  Of course, all of this technological prowess needs to be harnessed while on the go and when I need to be completely hands-free.

I've used several cradle-type devices in the past, but have always ended up picking my pricey gadget off the floor several times.  Is there anything on the market which will successfully secure your iPad or smartphone when it's not feasible to hold it yourself?  Let me introduce you to the iMagnet mount!

I reviewed the following two products from iMagnet:

Smartphone Mount which retails for $59.99, but is currently on sale for $19.99 with FREE SHIPPING.

iPad Mount which retails for $99.99, but is currently on sale for $49.99 with FREE SHIPPING.
Receive 10% OFF your Amazon order of either the Smartphone mount or the iPad Mount from iMagnet with coupon code "3WYWEK9U"

MCM Inventions, Inc. - Home of Toothpaste 2 GoIn the next few weeks, we'll be entering into the craziest travel season of the year.  Did you know that there are roughly 10 million airline flights in the U.S. alone?  And a large percentage of that number comes from holiday travel.  Everyone wants to reconnect with family and friends around the holidays which means that most of us will take to the skies or the roads to get back home.

Unfortunately, if you're traveling by air, you must comply with the TSA regulations concerning liquids for carry-on luggage and/or costly baggage fees for checked luggage.  While there's always been a way to make travel size toiletries for shampoo, conditioner, lotions, creams and gels, there hasn't been a way to make your own travel sized toothpaste from a full size tube...until now!

The Toothpaste 2 Go Travel Toothpaste Refill System retails for just $7.99.
Receive 10% OFF your entire order with coupon code "FRIENDS10" and receive FREE SHIPPING with every order $15+

Cheeky UmbrellaMost of the time, I'm bummed when the weather turns sour.  When it's raining, my daughter can't play outside, errands take a lot longer to run, thanks to more traffic and dangerous driving conditions, and of course, it's harder to stay dry and comfy.

When the rain begins to pour, I whip out my trusty umbrella and head outside, giving no thought as to the quality of the umbrella I've been using.  If the wind would blow too hard, my umbrella would always fold up on me, giving me a drenching.  Once I was inside again, my umbrella seemed to take forever to dry and subsequently soaked everything it touched in the meantime.

Thankfully, I finally discovered the best umbrella to use in bad weather...my new Cheeky Umbrella!  Keep reading to learn more!

I reviewed the Polka Dots Classic Long Umbrella from Cheeky Umbrella, which retails for $42.00.
