We have had a very hard year, but it has also been blessed beyond measure. Earlier this year we were gifted with a large above ground pool. We have had more fun being able to just walk out the back door and take a dip whenever we like than we ever thought imaginable. It has also been fun entertaining family and friends out by the pool. Then, when I had the opportunity to try out a 3M Mobile Projector I was elated. I knew immediately just how I wanted to test it out!

We had a pool/movie party!!!

Do I have pictures?? Nooo, because I didn’t plan correctly. Guess what I use to take photos with…yep, my iPhone. Guess what it was being used for…yep, the projector. LOL, it was one of those DUH moments that makes me feel just how blonde I truly am. We had a blast watching a slide show of family photos and watching movies, eating good food and swimming.

With the 3M Mobile Projector you can download movies from iTunes to your iPhone or iPad and watch on a big screen through the Mobile Projector, you can view family photos, you can play games, etc!!! We simply hung a sheet on the side of the house and watched away.

I love how easy it is to use, even for the technologically challenged folks like me. I didn’t have to ask Bric for help once!! It is small and lightweight making it even more convenient. This pint size mobile projector allows big screen video viewing from Netflix®, YouTube®, iTunes® and more — and you can use it just about anywhere.

See, it isn’t much bigger than my hand!  And it seriously took me longer to get it out of the box than it did to figure out how to use it. Simply hook up the cable, pull up your content and play. Easy Peasy!!

Talk about a great gift that can be used over and over and over again. Tate and Bric want one just to play games on. We don’t have a large screen TV and they thought it was just too cool that we could just use it to project on the wall.

X Out Acne!

X-Out Acne Treatment

My teen is like any other…ok, so maybe not. But skincare is not at the top of his list of things to do. A complicated skin care routine and acne treatment regimen just isn’t going to happen. Just getting him to wash his face after an intense workout at the karate studio is worse than pulling teeth. Teenagers want quick and easy and while skin care is important in my eyes, it just isn’t in his.

 X Out’s easy one-step Wash-In acne treatment offers a hassle-free solution to kill breakout-causing bacteria for a fresh, clear and confident appearance. While Tate’s acne can range from moderate to severe it still doesn’t motivate him to take more time to solve the problem so when we were offered to test drive X Out’s EASY, one-step treatment I literally jumped on the opportunity and squealed with glee! I know that clear skin will boost Tate’s confidence and make such a huge difference for him. Here is a before picture and while his acne isn’t as bad in this picture as it can get he already has some scarring which I hope X Out with prevent anymore in the future.

If your teen has breakouts, X Out’s Wash-In acne treatment can help as either a daily face wash, spot treatment, or mask. With the acne fighting power of benzoyl peroxide and a sulfate-free solution, X Out can help teens with multiple skin types treat their acne. For tech-savvy teens looking for a little more distraction, X Out’s QR code leads them to entertaining comedy, sports or fashion videos all timed to the product’s recommended 2-minute washing period. 

 

While the bottle is a little hard to figure out at first,  the design and packaging are great! Tate has been using X Out’s Wash-In acne treatment for several days and so far we are already seeing great results! I can’t wait to see and show you the results in a few weeks!!

Music To My Ears

I will be the first to tell you that I am not the most technologically advanced person. Once I learn how to use something, I want it to stay that way, I am not big on changing products and having to learn a new one. That is why I had the same computer for 10 years…and it caught on fire last week. My husband had patched and repaired it so many times it isn’t even funny but I liked my computer. It had everything on it I needed and I knew how to use it well. Now, I have been upgraded to a new laptop with lots of bells and whistles I have no idea how to use, most of my good ol favorite programs are far gone because now they won’t work with this new Windows 7. What does all that have to do with music? Well, I am getting there. sansa fuze red

So, in saying all of that…Iever had an MP3 Player. Most of my friends find this comical, but for me…it is another complicated gadget that I have to take the time to learn how to use, learn how to put music on it, etc. And time is a HUGE issue for me. I don’t have near enough as it is and I can’t ever seem to find the time to breath much less read an instruction manual.

Then came the Sansa Fuze+ MP3 player by San Disk. EASY to use (my most favorite feature!), Affordable and Stylish.

Whether at the gym, in the car, or preparing dinner, playing music makes the slower parts of the day fly by. With the Sansa Fuze+ MP3 player, SanDisk provides an affordable solution for entertainment on the go, combining music, video, podcasts, radio and pictures at the sweep of a finger.

The Fuze+ offers several features including a large LCD screen, a built-in microphone, and a recordable FM radio with 40 preset stations. The player also allows you to use slotRadio cards, which come loaded with up to 1,000 songs in genres ranging from Christmas to country to oldies. Did you read that? It has cards! With music already loaded! See, I told you it was easy to use, even for the most technologically challenged. SanDisk’s new VH1 Classic slotRadio card adds to an already robust music selection, featuring hundreds of rock and pop artists from the 70s, 80s and 90s – U2, Elton John, Whitney Houston, David Bowie and Bon Jovi to name a few. And with a price tag under $100, the player makes a great holiday gift idea for your kids or yourself!

I just can’t say it enough, I love this little gadget. You can find out more information on the SanDisk Sansa Fuze+ website and you can also find out more information on all of the slotRadio Cards available here: http://bit.ly/dujJAS
