Finally, A Way To Record My Exciting Life!!!

April 1, 2010 by

I was reading the NY Times one day last week and I stumbled across an article on a cool gadget call uCorder.

The uCoder is a a minature wearable camcorder about the size of a stick of gum that you can attach to your belt, wear it around your neck via the lanyard or slip in into your shirt pocket. The uCorder comes in two models, the $80 IRDC150 (1GB of built in memory) or the $100 IRDC250 (2GB of built in memory).  You can also add an optional MicroSD card for additional memory of up to 8GB.  The 1GB option gives you about 36 minutes of video and the 2GB 72minutes of video. The uCoder also has a built in LED for low light situations and it also recorders in an AVI format.

What made me read this article is the fact that Melinda says all of the time that we should turn on a camera and just record all of the crazy stuff that goes on in our house. With the uCorder not only could I record the action at home but also the action I encounter on the go. I can’t guarantee that my videos would be adventurous or exciting but I bet they would definitely be interesting. Alot of the videos would be me on the bus to and from work which would be pretty funny. Read my article here about that HERE or me at work which most likely would put you to sleep but at least you could see what I see during the day. BORING, well at least the work part would be!!! LOL!!!

I really would love to give the uCorder a try and see what kind of action I run into during the day. Thinking about some of the stuff I see while in the city each day is making me laugh while I’m writing this post. Maybe someday I will give the uCorder a try and then the real fun will begin for you and me.

Beauty Fusion inFATuation Plumping Lipcolor Audit

March 29, 2010 by

By now you should know; I love cosmetics. I always have lip colors/glosses in my purse, diaper bag and coat pockets. If I wear nothing else I at least like a bit of shine. Lip Fusion from Fusion Beauty is the newest addition to my assortment. Lip Fusion is a collection of lip-plumping colors, pencils, treatments and glosses designed to give you a luscious pout without needles, doctors or pain.


Following the success of her first innovations, CLEAN™ Fragrance and Dessert Beauty™, founder and leading cosmetic entrepreneur Randi Shinder, recognized that women who wanted full, beautiful lips had very few safe and effective alternatives to costly and painful in-office injections. Working with one of the industry’s top labs, Ms. Shinder discovered a revolutionary patented technology in France – the first ever penetrating collagen. Collagen dehydrated into tiny microspheres that could penetrate and then re-plump with the body’s natural water, collagen that could mimic cosmetic filler. With this technology and with her expertise in the beauty business, Ms. Shinder developed LipFusion™ – the first needle-free, micro-injected collagen lip enhancer.

I’ve been wearing LipFusion Infatuation Liquid Shine Multi-Action Lip Fattener in Big & Bare for a couple weeks. The shine is enough to satisfy me but the plumping action is a bonus. Applying required a mirror, the texture is thick and would look streaky and clumpy if not evenly applied. The formula did tingle but didn’t hurt. I’ve heard other products burned. I did notice a plump in my lips, not a full Angelina Jolie swell but a slight fullness especially on the outer edges. I tried to capture on photo but it’s hard to notice. Maybe it’s the shine that’s tricking the eye, either way I liked the final outcome; glossy soft lips with a sexy look.
Sorry for the tired look.

LipFusion Infatuation Liquid Shine Multi-Action Lip Fattener is the first liquid lip color with extraordinary Amplifat™ technology to increase and maintain body fat just where you need it most. LipFusion’s breakthrough Amplifat™ concentrate promotes and stores your lips’ own natural fatty acids for never-before-achievable lip volume. Double-encapsulated plumping spheres deliver instant and ‘over-time’ plumping – giving your lip the volume they desire all day long.

Always innovating, Fusion Beauty has gone on to introduce GlowFusion, LashFusion and SkinFusion. From perfecting your glow and complexion to protecting and plumping your lashes, Fusion Beauty continues to re-design the landscape of the cosmetics industry. Shop Fusion Beauty in their online shop or your nearest Sephora for these products for their newest product Luxe Boudoir; $1 from each purchase of this product will benefit FusionBeauty and Seven Bar Foundation’s Kiss Away Poverty campaign.

Win your own LipFusion Infatuation Liquid Shine Multi-Action Lip Fattener(value $29) here at LookWhatMomFound…and Dad too! Visit Fusion Beauty and tell me what other product you would like to try.

Horizon Organic Chocolate Milk, a healthy snack alternative GIVEAWAY-CLOSED

March 23, 2010 by

Remember when you were a kid and your parents would let you get the milk and that chocolate powder to make a yummy glass of chocolate milk. I do but can’t imagine these days chocolate flavored powder being the best choice for my children. With Horizon Organic Lowfat Chocolate Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 my problems are solved.  Not only is the Horizon Organic Lowfat Chocolate Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 premade for me but it is also a simple way to add calcium and DHA to my and my family’s diet. DHA Omega-3 is an important nutrient that helps support heart, brain and eye health which is not only beneficial but crucial to children.

The first night my kids had the Horizon Organic Lowfat Chocolate Milk their first comment was how chocolaty the milk was over our homemade chocolate milk. They liked how rich and creamy it tasted. My kids tend to be a pain in the neck when it comes to change so for them to enjoy this tells me that it’s a quality product. An added bonus it that it is organic which is something me and Melinda really like and try to look for when buying products. The one downside for me is that Horizon Organic Lowfat Chocolate Milk Plus DHA Omega-3 is not offered in a fat-free version. I know it is 1% already but for me I can taste the difference between 1% and fat-free milk but all in all it tastes really good. We have already went through three half gallons in the last few weeks.

Horizon offers a ton of products other then chocolate milk like regular milk, yogurt, cheese, cream, eggs, ice cream, cream cheese, cottage cheese and butter.

BH Cosmetics Palettes Recap

March 16, 2010 by

I’ve said it before, I love cosmetics and I especially love eye shadows. I found BH Cosmetics when I was searching YouTube for eye shadow application tutorials. It was love at first sight when I spotted these enormous cases with rainbows of color spilling out.

BH Cosmetics are known to be highly pigmented quality cosmetics but without the crazy high price tag of other brands. I’ve been using the 26 Shadow Blush Combo Palette exclusively now for a couple weeks. The colors are perfect for my everyday make-up application; neutrals that range from vanilla to violet to chocolate. The blush colors lovely but I’ve never used them for that, they are just more eye color shades for me. Other products include the super popular 120 color Eye shadow Palettes and the 88 color shimmer and matte finish palettes.

I also received the 10 piece Deluxe Brush Set (wood color). I’m completely impressed with the quality and softness of the brushes; made from natural & synthetic fibers and solid wood. My favorite brush is the Foundation Brush, the flat wide hairs are perfect for applying my powder foundation and concealer more evenly and more efficiently.
The advantage of natural hair is that it has scales which trap the makeup on the bristles. These scales hold the pigments and transfer it onto your skin effectively. 
Check out BH Cosmetics YouTube Channel for explanations on the Palette choices, color combinations and product differences. Also know that when you purchase 2 or more palettes you will receive 10% off and BH Cosmetics guarantees your satisfaction.

For all you girly girls out there I’m giving away 2 BH Cosmetic Palettes. Visit BH Cosmetics and tell me which one you would pick. 2 winners will each get the chance to choose the palette best suited for them.
