#card from @card has cornered the market on #Reloadable #DebitCards! #careBears


You may be wondering why the title of this post has Care Bears about them!  No, it's not a mistake. These pre-paid reloadable VISA cards can include an array of pictures, characters or images. Variety is the spice of life!  You can express yourself through your debit card, who would've thought that? 
Visa prepaid cards from CARD.com
Click the Care Bear CARD picture (above) to be taken to the website!

 

I absolutely love Care Bears so it's only natural I picked that card! They include more ways to load your Care Bears card, intelligent notifications like low balance warnings, monthly statements, ways to avoid fees and much more. AND, if you haven't already tried their current features, like loading cash with MoneyPak© or Western Union©, you may not realize how easy it is to load your card in minutes, at numerous places!!


MoneyPak is available at these stores nationwide.
WalmartCVSKmartAid7Walgreens

This is a debit card, like the one from your bank, and you can use it EVERYWHERE Visa is accepted -- except it's way cooler and cuter than your crumby old bank card.

Here are just some fun facts we'd like to share, or please visit https://www.card.com/how-it-works for more information on the product:


  • Free to order, activate and load
  • Free app and check deposits from your smartphone
  • Free direct deposit
  • Free card-to-card transfers, any time, anywhere, in seconds
  • No overdraft fees -- never goes negative!
  • Safer than cash - 24/7 support, Visa fraud protection and 100% FDIC insurance on funds
  • No debt, financially responsible, no interest/credit/APRs
  • No credit check and approval in seconds
  • 22,000 in-network ATMs
  • Thousands of cool, unique card designs to choose from, including brands like: Garfield, Popeye, Betty Paige, James Dean, Care Bears, Walking Dead, Star Trek, Autism Awareness, Breast Cancer Research, Shark Week, Where's Waldo, Doodle Jump, etc.



This card is not a gift card, so you can’t give or receive the card as a gift - It's better than a gift card because you don't just use it once and toss it, but instead get to replace your boring bank-issued debit card and show it off over and over.


Free for 30 days - then $5.95 monthly fee, which we waive when you direct deposit over $800 in the previous 30 days.  This fee is the same as the Walmart prepaid card and way less than many of our competitors. It's also much less than overdrafting your bank account, paying for a checking account or using a credit card.



You can always try it out and cancel later. The cancellation process is super simple. Our monthly fee isn't assessed until after 30 days, so if you decide you don't want to keep the card, just make sure you spend all $25 before 30 days from the activation date and destroy the card. If the balance is zero after 60 days, the account will close itself due to inaction. Or you can call the number on the back and cancel at any time, but you have to make sure your balance is zero, to avoid the $7 "liquidation fee."


 I know this sounds like such a simple thing, but I loved how easy it is to find them on social media. If you can remember the word "CARD" you can find them on social media. For instance their Twitter acct is a super simple @card. Same for their Facebook URL. Maybe that is something only a blogger would appreciate. IDK! It was hard for me to find JUST ONE card I liked. I liked every card pictured in this post.

In the end, the Care Bear card was too good to pass up on. I handed it to the barista at Starbucks to pay for my Iced Caramel Macchiato and she smiled at me and said, "AW! That is THE cutest card!" (I told her she could get her own at Card.com and to give it back! LOL!)  

Another part you'll appreciate is that after you purchase the card and call the 1800 # or Load it online, your funds are available in as little as thirty minutes!!!

You can reload the card at most Kmart, CVS, Walgreens, Walmart, among other places.


You can set it up for direct deposit which can be time saving too!


Long story short, if you need a card like this, don't waste your time with other companies, just use card.com. It's so easy to remember!! Which CARD.com card do you like best? Check them out, and comment on this post!

@PowerMyLearning is one of the best sites I have seen for free educational game compilations

I absolutely LOVED that this site PowerMyLearning is free!!

Not only do a lot of sites have high membership dues, or "free trials" which you soon forget you even subscribed for.... That is, until you get the non-refundable 19.99 charge on your debit card bill.. Yeaaahh- y'all know what I am talking about, don't you? 

As I was saying, not only is it 100% free, and free is a GOOD thing--  but in addition: lot of sites worry me, because of the Ads on sidebars which could have viruses and/or tracking cookies, not to mention things inappropriate for children, at times. Even the best of sites like Disney and Nick have these. 


Bottom line: You don't know a sites safety without sitting hours researching  Even if you do, you'd have to sit on top of an eight year old the entire time they were on the computer to make sure they don't stray that mouse clicker to questionable sites. Now, this may sound bad- but let us have a moment of honesty here: a lot of the times I let my daughter on the computer to get her out of my hair and get stuff done.. and neither of those feats can be accomplished if I have to monitor her every click on the computer.

#RainCoat Exciting things and changes at @Kidorable!!! (Best kid birthday gifts)

You guys might know of a very popular children's Rain-wear and accessories brand called Kidorable? If you have never then you need to check them out now. But there are big news from Kidorable—exciting improvements for their products are on the way, plus their first price change in 4 years.  Kidorable is a premium brand—all our core lines are now the best available in the market.   Click here to see the changes for yourself .






Kidorable Coats are changing from PVC to a lined PU (same quality and materials as our Dora the Explorer and SpongeBob coats) and will be available to ship starting September 2nd.   The price for these new coats is $39.00

These are lighter, more comfortable and more attractive than PVC.  Everyone loves these coats.  100% of people they tested much prefer these to our regular coats. 
The addition of a printed pattern liner makes the coats more special.  With a nylon liner for the raincoat because nylon is water proof and matches the feel of the PU.  The PU+nylon is much lighter, easy to fold, and carry to go. 

More than just a raincoat, these can be worn every day, all spring and fall. 

Kidorable Umbrellas now all have a fun custom handle, setting Kidorable apart from all others. The new handles will be gradually phased in over the next few months.  The new price, effective September 2, is $13.95

Kidorable Boots now have a custom printed lining, adding to perceived value.  Together with our custom sole, this lifts Kidorable boots above anything else on the market.  No other company has a fun custom sole and printed lining.   The new price, effective September 2, is $29.95

 My 2 favorite rain sets for boys and girls are featured in this post! We have 4 sets: mermaid, lucky cat, ballerina, and the old retired houndstooth English Roses (I miss the English Roses line by Madonna  **Sad POUTY face**  :-(  !!!!  ) Even more than the sets of boots/jackets I love their wooden hangers and the backpacks (link above).

But which one do you like best? One featured or a different one from the site? What do you think about the new changes?  Thanks for reading!




DISCLOSURE ~   I shared this because I love this brand and have worked with them in the past- not because they sent me product.

#ad Teespring crowdfunding helps you raise money for a cause or yourself. #sponsored #review

Teespring allows you to create & sell custom tees with zero upfront costs, and zero risk.



Teespring is a crowdfunding platform for groups, causes and communities to design and sell custom apparel. Anyone can come and design a shirt which they can then sell via Facebook, Twitter or anywhere else online. The seller keeps all of the profit the shirt earns. People use Teespring as a fundraising tool or just to earn some extra money. The best part is the shirts don't print and ship until a set end date determined by the seller. This means they pay nothing upfront, take no risk and don't have to deal with the hassle of ordering the right number of shirts.



I checked out Teespring, and designed a Locomotion of Expressions shirt with the header of this blog. The site was fast and responsive and easy to use! The only issue I encountered personally- was that my header apparently has more than 10 colors, and I haven't the slightest how to edit it to not have so many colors, so I would have to use another image for my shirts. I love how on the homepage they show you clip art of others people shirts and projects and causes, and I had fun clicking through them and reading their missions. I love how you can make money all without ever stepping foot out of the house, and get your cause out to millions who can help you realize your dreams and make them an actuality.


Testimonials What people are saying

“I sold over 800 shirts and made $6,000 on a campaign that took me less than 10 minutes to create and didn't cost me a dime! An incredible tool.”
- Peter Krumins Browserling.com
“Teespring is the perfect no-cost way to test the strength of your brand's merchandise. We found our biggest fans through our campaign.”
- Josh Catone TheFluffingtonPost.com

You can play with the designer if you go to teespring.com/design

Here are some cool examples of what people have done with the site.


A couple sold this "Love makes a family shirt" to raise money to adopt: http://teespring.com/chrisandshelleyadopt


This one included children's and toddler's shirts to raise money for an 11-year-old to sing in a children's choir in Hungary: https://teespring.com/bunnygirlsings

Holiday Gift Guide for the Mom in your life. TommeeTippee Cups + Explora review!!







Anyone with a toddler knows and can totally relate to how annoying children's cups can be. 
Although necessary, let's say even IF your child is not incredibly picky about them, there are still several other issues that can arise, including but not limited to:

  • Availability,
  • Design,
  • Price,
  • Quality,
  • Shape

and of course most importantly,    performance.

In all of these categories, Tommee Tippee excels!! A+!
You see, they sent me a ton of cups a few months ago. (See above?)
And so began my incredibly long (sorry about that Tommee Tippeee, btw) BUT ALSO thorough evaluation of them.
Here is our dilemma about cups.
Back in the day, Devonny would only take NUK cups.
Nuk cups she LOVED. BUT-- as much as she loved them, they had to go.
 They were too expensive for 1 bottle. And although they are widely available, they never seem to be stocked. Apparently a popular choice in my area, anyway.

BUT-- they look like bottles. Which is a problem when your walking around with a toddler, it kinda looks bad. You don't want to be "that mom" that everyone judges, trust me.
Our Favorite cup is the cup on the middle top row there. That's the one I only got one of. It's called an Tommee Tippee Explora Water Bottle
As if that weren't bad enough, the Nuk's were a problem with us because she would bite the silicone nipples, causing them to spill horribly. Never-mind the fact of her ingesting pieces of them.
Plus, I could never find replacement nipples for the cups anywhere!!!

So, thus began a problem of owning about at least 70$ in NUK cups. How is that a problem? I had a very uneven percentage of cups vs nipples. She also liked to shove her fingers down into the soft nipples.. stretching out the holes, & I ended up with so much brown chocolate milk stains everywhere!!!

  (Did I mention how picky she is? She only drinks chocolate milk.)

So when I discovered Tommee Tippee through my good friends, Jessie C & Courteney, they passed along the useful info needed to review the cups... And since they both loved theirs I figured I'd give these cups a try!!!

First of all, I was not expecting all the cups they would send! Good grief guys! Thanks so much!

You can probably buy Tommee Tippee at your local Target store. It's for sale at mine!

Back to the main features that a cup must have to be a good cup in our house! .... I was tickled when I discovered, in my reviewing of the cups, that Tommee Tippee covers all the areas I touched on at the beginning of this blog post.

Availability, widely available- easily for most countries (check yours now!) you can find them at Target, Toys R Us, Babies R Us!
Design, so cute. My favorite cups yet. They are subtle , yet easily matched with other colors. And the design is all about helping you, by growing with baby too! (Explora is TRULY spillproof, which is an issue I had with the cups before them.) 

Plus + have you seen these cups? The designs are so cute, for the boys & the girls products. Their pacifiers too, being functional and cute together is enough for a recommendation from me!

Price? They are competitively priced with other cups, as far as cost goes... in most cases- less than other cups. Especially when you consider most of them are sold in sets of two for around 7$.


Quality ... they work exceptionally, better than expected in fact. I love that they're simple to snap together! Interchangeable with one another's lids and valves too.
Did I mention that they are completely dishwasher safe? I've found even the pieces innards of the cup are fine in the silverware basket of my dishwasher- which is pretty close the heating eye that heats and dries the dishes.
Shape is easily held and maneuvered by my child, who is 2 and has normal dexterity.

And of course most importantly, performance. They don't leak, and cant really be squeezed and jostled out of place. I have seen it happen on the rare occasion, but it was usually due to something I did wrong.
(IE: Forget to put it in at all, or insert it all the way.)

I didn't like the straw cups as much as the hard spout lids, but they were much loved by Miss Devonny. (All of them, actually! )

I am now training her to drink with kids lidless cups, since she is getting older. She's still to young to do just that though. And for those times when she is in my car, or watching a movie in the living room floor with a pillow.... I will always reach for one of these and I'm ever so grateful to the company for sending them to me!  :)

This concludes my review of the Tommee Tippee Cups. I love them, and will not switch! I will recommend this brand to all my friends and family, and I suggest you try them, as I know you'll love them too!

If you have a Mom with a young toddler on your holiday shopping list, you should do her a favor and buy her a bag full of these cups. It's a gift to her and her kid, and I'm sure both will appreciate the gesture.

Formulated from nature's most potent sources of nutrients — fruit and herb seeds — Immuno-Viva's natural power cannot be disguised. Meet the family...
I got the chance to review this amazing supplement called Recovery!

  • Support joint health*
  • Promote better flexibility*

Amount120 capsules, 1000 mg each
Serving Size4 capsules daily
Servings per Container30
Retail Price
$39.95




My opinion of the products.
Both of the product did have an aftertaste. That's to say that after you take it, you can "taste" it (lightly) later/throughout the day.
Although the aftertaste did not bother me, I can see where the flavor of Ease would bother some.
I honestly think, that the benefits of taking these ingredients far surpasses the light aftertaste. 
I loved both of the products, and did notice improvements that are claimed by the product's maker: Immunoviva!
In fact- you can buy these products in their combo packs!!

Athlete/Joint Health Combo

When taken together on a daily basis, a combination of Ease and Recovery offers joint and muscle support that athletes need to help perform their best.* You don't have to live life on the sidelines, Immuno-Viva can keep you in the game.

Since I am suffering from a lateral shift, I think I probably should've reviewed core
My physical therapist says that my core is weak, and it's disrupting my hips.

Renew Anti-Aging Serum is also up my alley! I have horrible skin, and I am interested to see if this products works as good as Ease & Recovery did for me.
Overall, I am 100% glad I stumbled upon this brand's products, and they've found a lifelong fan in me. I know that you'll love this product just as much as I did and I do recommend it to you. If you have a hardcore athlete in your family, this is a must have on your Christmas.Holiday's shopping list!

Did you know you can buy Immuno Viva on Drugstore.com? Ang that they're having a sale on natural products - 20%. Go get 'em!
