Penguins of Madagascar and General Mills MyBlogSpark Review and Giveaway

My boys are big cereal eaters, and they especially love Trix from General Mills. Right now General Mills has teamed up with the Penguins of Madagascar for some Summer time fun! My boys are big fans of Dreamsworks Madagascar and the Penguins of Madagascar, so when I was offered the opportuntity to do a review/giveaway about these great characters and General Mills from MyBlogSpark, I JUMPED at the opportunity!

Inside specially marked boxes of General Mills cereals, you’ll “commence operations” with one of five characters from The Penguins of Madagascar; Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, Private or King Julien. Each participating cereal contains one character launcher with mission details outlined on the back of the box including:



Dive In, Soldier – Set an empty plastic cereal bowl on the table and try to pop your launcher into it. Wear a helmet or you’ll be squid bait.


Longest Propulsion Launcher – Challenge your troops to see who can launch their character the furthest. Go long or go back to the zoo.


Target Practice – Create a landing zone with a spoon and try to strategically drop your character into the sweet spot. Hit the target or go back to the drawing board.


Clear the Wall – Do you have enough projectile pop to push your launcher over the top of the box? Proceed launchin’ troops, earn those wings!


Each character is unique and has their own specific role, and together, they’re a team with lots of character. With five character launchers to collect, make a splash this summer and try to successfully complete all of their missions.
 
My family received a great package from MyBlogSpark featuring a full size box of Trix Cereal featuring one of the Penguins launchers, 2 extra Penguin launchers AND the new Penguins of Madagascar DVD: Operation DVD Premiere!
 
 

My boys were so excited when this package arrived! We immediately opened up the box so each of the boys could have a Penguin launcher and watched our DVD as Penguins flipped and flopped throughout my living room. They had a blast!

 This new Penguins DVD features over 2 hours of fun with some never before seen missions! If your child is a Penguins fan, they are sure to love this DVD!

MyBlogSpark has given me the opportunity to give away the same package I received to one of my readers!

EcoStoreUSA.com-Natural Products made with NO NASTY CHEMICALS

Since the beginning of the year I have tried to make a concious effort to use products that are better for the earth and my family. I've found that making this choice has been easier than I ever imagined with a lot of fantastic options available online and in my local stores.

I recently was introduced to EcoStoreUSA.com through the MamaBuzz Program. EcoStoreUSA offers a variety of products including Baby Care, Bath and Body, Hair Care, Household cleaning products and Pet care.  EcoStore's products are made with natural ingredients and contain NO NASTY CHEMICALS. Not only are these products healthy for both you and the planet, they are also surprizingly affordable.

I had the opportunity to try two of their all natural chemical free products and after reading about their product line I decided on their Body Wash in Coconut and Vanilla scent and the Baby Moisturizer.

The Coconut and Vanilla Body Wash comes in a 13.5oz bottle. EcoStore's body wash is plant based and the ingredients contained in this body wash are...

•Water

•Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate

•Sodium Lauroamphoacetate

•Wheat Germamidopropyldimonium

•Hydroxypropyl Hydrolysed Wheat Protein

•Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride

•Sodium Hydroxymethyl Glycinate

•Certified Organic Fragrance

With the use of natural and organic ingredients, EcoStore's Coconut and Vanilla Body Wash is a great choice for sensitive skin. Taken from the EcoStore Website...

Unlike many leading brands, ecostore USA body care products do not contain Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, artificial dyes, perfumes or preservatives which means they are extremely kind to sensitive skin.

Once this body wash arrived I immediately fell in love with its light but refreshing scent. I like coconut fragrance, especially during the summer months and this body wash didn't disappoint. This product gently cleans the skin leaving it soft and moisturized after use. I really liked this product.

EcoStore's Coconut and Vanilla Body Wash is available on their website for $8.50.

The second product I tried was the Baby Moisturizer. I love trying new lotions and body creams not only for myself but on my whole family so I was excited to try using the EcoStore Baby Moisturizer on my youngest son.

 The EcoStoreUSA.com Baby Moisturizer comes in an 8oz bottle. The ingredients listed for the Baby Moisturizer...

•Water
•Olea Europaea (Olive Oil)
•Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Oil
•Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil
•Cetearyl Alcohol
•Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Butter
•Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Butter
•Polysorbate 20
•Sodium Hydroxymethylglycinate
•Lavandula Hybrida Oil
•Geranium Maculatum Oil
•Eucalyptus Globulus Oil
•Citral
•Citronellol
•Coumarin
•d-Limonene
•Geraniol
•Linalool
•Pseudowintera Colorata (Horopito) extract

The Baby Moisturizer also has a great light fragrance that I really enjoy. I love that it rubs in quickly and absorbs into the skin keeping it healthy and moisturized without leaving any sticky residue. Made with natural and organic ingredients, EcoStore's Baby Moisturizer is  made for use on sensitive skin.

EcoStoreUSA's Baby Moisturizer is available on their website for $10.

EcoStoreUSA.com has many great products that are made with natural ingredients making them safe for your family and a better option for the planet. I welcome you to check out the selection of products they offer and find some that will work for your family!

NachoMamaTees.com Review and Giveaway

I love funny t-shirts. If I see someone wearing a funny tee that I've not seen before I usually ask where they've got it. I've heard CrazyDogTshirts and NachoMamaTees.com frequently, these sister sites have an incredible collection of fun t-shirts that everyone is bound to love!

Some of my favorite selections from the NachoMamaTees.com site include...

Charlie brown t shirt one of the classic peanuts t shirt collection. This Charlie brown shirt is featured on a 100% cotton yellow adult t-shirt.

Funny Duct tape t-shirt. Duct Tape has a million and one uses. This shirt show cases duct tape at its finest. Every fan of duct tape needs this funny duck tape t-shirt! 

Mr Rogers t shirt. This funny shirts features Mr Rogers classic saying "Won't You Be My Neighbor". The distressed print on this Mr Rogers shirt gives it a vintage feel you'll love. All the girls are going to want to be YOUR neighbor!

Oceanic airlines t shirt paying homage to everyones favorite tv series Lost. Don't forget to belt up and fly safe with the oceanic airlines shirt with text "taking you places you never imagined". Oceanic airline t-shirt is printed on a super soft tee that feels and fits great! You will fall in love the second you put it on.



This is just a small sample of the amazing selection on fun and funny tees available from NachoMamaTees.com. I was given the opportunity to choose a tshirt for myself from their vast stock of Tees. It took me quite a while to make up my mind! The shirt I choose for myself....

 

 

 

 

Hot Mess T Shirt

It's virtually impossible to eat Ice Cream in the sum-summa time without getting gross and drippy. For all the Hot Messes out there (from Ice Cream or "otherwise"), we give unto thee the Hot Mess Summer tee, complete with runny Ice Cream messiness to hide what you'll do. I bet my mom buys this shirt for me within a day, because lordy knows I can't go anywhere in white (because of Ice Cream and "otherwise) if you know what I mean. This tee runs in Junior sizing so lay off the Ice Cream because you'll have to size up anyways, and sizing up twice would be embarrassing for everyone.

I fell in love with the Hot Mess Tshirt made by David and Goliath from NachoMamaTees.com. Sometimes my life has me moving in a million different directions at once and the term "Hot Mess" seems fitting. I also thought it was a cute t-shirt. The Hot Mess tee is so incredibly soft and comfortable. As the website suggested, the tshirt is sized in Junior sizes so I was slightly concerned that the XL I ordered would be too tight. To my happy surprize, the tee fits fabulously! It hugs my curves in all the right places and my husband really likes the way it looks as much as I do!

NachoMamaTees.com offers a vast variety of  fantastic t-shirts for both men and women. Their prices are great too with most under $15. You  can even find tees for even less on their site by taking advantage of some of their deals including the Daily Deal and mystery tees.

*The Daily Deal! NachoMamaTees.com offers a different tee each day for only $6.99! Check back everyday for your favorites and this amazing price!

*Mystery Tee! The "Mystery Tee" deal is where you choose the size and they send you one of their great tees from overstock or discontinued selections. The Mystery Tshirts are available for less than $6! What a fun surprise!

 

So what kind of t-shirt would you choose from the vast selection from NachoMamaTees.com? Visit their site here to check out all the great tees for you and your family!
