Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening System
A few weeks ago I started the Smile Brilliant teeth whitening system and I'm so excited to see the results. I've tried whitening my teeth in the past but the results were never what I expected. I've done the strips and the gel that you add to the toothpaste but I've always been disappointed. They took weeks to show any change and never lasted very long after I stopped the process. Since I don't smoke or drink coffee or soda, I expected my teeth to stay white for a good amount of time after using … [Read more...]
Lime Ricki Swimwear Recap
Spring may have just started but I'm already thinking of summer. More specifically I'm thinking about our summer vacation aboard the Carnival Breeze. It's been a couple of years since we've taken a summer vacation so this is going to be special. Sabreena is 18, has a slim but curvy body but is quite modest. She actually prefers full coverage bathing suits. She's not going out in rash guards or swim shorts but she keeps it family friendly. Lime Ricki offered up a suit for consideration and … [Read more...]
2013 Kia Rio SX 5DR
This is a sponsored post but all opinions are our own!!!! I love test driving vehicles and I especially love test driving Kia vehicles. A while back I had the opportunity to drive the 2013 Kia Rio SX 5DR for a week and let me tell you that was a really fun car to drive. We are a family of five so the 2013 Kia Rio SX 5DR isn't quite big enough for my entire family but this would be an awesome first car for Sabreena. The Rio that I drove was loaded with satellite radio, navigation, … [Read more...]
2013 Kia Optima SX Limited
This is a sponsored post but all opinions are our own!!!! Last weekend was me and Melinda's 12th wedding anniversary and we got a chance to get a kid-free weekend away with a nice trip to the beach in OCean City, NJ and we got to travel in style in the 2013 Kia Optima SX Limited. This car to me is what I call luxury as it had all the bells and whistles like leather seats, heated and cooled front seats, heated rear seats, panoramic sunroof and so many more options. For all the car … [Read more...]
Newair AI-215SS Stainless Steel Portable Ice Maker
The running joke in our house is someone yelling "ICE" and that is because recently I received the Newair AI-215SS Stainless Steel Portable Ice Maker for analysis. The Newair AI-215SS makes ice every 13 minutes which is good because in our house we go through a ton of it in a day plus the ice maker in our freezer hasn't been working for a few months. You can imagine how many times in a day someone yells "ICE" because every 13 minutes or less new ice is made. It has become a game that has … [Read more...]
Epson WorkForce Pro WP-4540 All-in-One Printer
With three kids in school they are always asking to print something so I was glad when we were asked to consider the Epson WorkForce WP-Pro 4540. You can imagine the wear and tear that three kids and two adults can put on a printer. Shae is always asking to print something from PBS Kids or some other website that she is on. Shaun and Sabreena are also printing something for school and Melinda and I seem to print something on a daily basis and our old printer just wasn't cutting it. The … [Read more...]
2012 Kia Optima Hybrid
I love cars especially new cars and I was super excited when I recently got the chance to recap the 2012 Kia Optima Hybrid. I see more and more hybrids on the road and I always wonder how much better they are on gas then a traditional car since they are both gas and electric. The Kia Optima Hybrid has about an 18 gallon gas tank and I was getting about 500 - 550 miles on a tank of gas. I was averaging around 32.2 miles per gallon which in my opinion is awesome for a mid to large size … [Read more...]
2012 Kia Sorento EX AWD
What is better than getting to drive an awesome new car for the week except maybe owning that awesome new car but I must say that I really enjoyed my week behind the wheel of the 2012 Kia Sorento EX AWD. My commute to work one way is about 52 miles which takes about an hour with no traffic but could take as long as 1.5-2 hours depending on traffic. Having the Sorento get me through the daily traffic for an entire week was terrific. It was super comfortable to drive and had a ton of awesome … [Read more...]
Upgrade Your Computer Memory With Crucial
As a blogger and gamer there is nothing more important to me than my laptop and desktop computer. The one thing that I recently realized was that they both were lacking sufficient memory and decided it was time to do an upgrade. Thankfully I received an email from Crucial asking if I wanted to do a memory review. After receiving that email it got me thinking about all of the computers in the house and how all of them needed an upgrade in the memory department. About three months ago I bought … [Read more...]
