REVIEW: Go Girl

3 Comments

When I was contacted about reviewing a Go-Girl, I will admit that I was definitely intrigued. A GoGirl is a female urination device that allows you to pee while standing up. I giggled to myself as I tried to figure out exactly how to use it, but now that I have used it once, I’m a pro! It’s so simple. This little gadget is so perfect for those of us gals who have difficulty squatting and “aiming”, who camp, who ski and who travel in the car long distances. As well, if you are so inclined to carry it in … Continue reading →

Product Review: Grill Daddy Pro

I remember one year for Mother’s Day, we got my Mom a bbq brush. At the time, somehow, my Dad had convinced us that this is what my Mom would want and we were genuinely excited to give it to her. You can imagine the confusion we felt when she opened it, started to cry and stormed up to her room for the rest of the day. Men! My Dad was always and continues to be a brutal shopper for gifts for my Mom. He still needs reminders of special dates too. My hubby is somewhat obsessed with bbq brushes. … Continue reading →

Recently, I was provided with a few samples of Skin by Monica products to try out. Am I ever grateful that have had the opportunity. I don’t know what I love more, the fact that all of the products are free of parabens, urea, alcohol, petroleum and other harmful chemicals or that they simply go on your skin so perfectly. Here is what I have tried: RESTORE MSM Facial Cleanser Orange BlossomComments: I simply LOVE the smell of this cleanser, more than any other facial cleanser that I have used. It reminds me of something from my childhood, I can’t … Continue reading →

Recently, I was provided with a sample of nursing balm and massage butter from Green Beaver. This company is Canadian and makes products that are 100% NATURAL, BIODEGRADABLE, VEGAN AND GLUTEN-FREE. The products do not contain: Lanolin, petrolatum, mineral oil, paraben or hydantoin preservatives, artificial aromas, fragrances, flavours or dyes, phthalates, quaternium, EDTA, or propylene glycol. After reading their story, I was particularly pleased to learn that their philosophy is that if we cannot eat it, it is not good for our skin. This is so very true! The products that I like the best for my baby are the … Continue reading →

My PumpEase™ hands-free pumping supports came to me just in time for pumping with my recent addition to my family. The PumpEase™ is a hands-free pumping support for Moms who don’t want to be tied down while pumping their breast milk. I really am happy with my PumpEase because it helps relieve the pressure holding a pump puts on my hands and wrists. I have problems with carpal tunnel which causes pain and numbness in my wrists and hands which gets worse when I am holding them in one position for an extended period of time. Being able to pump … Continue reading →

I received Boot Camp for Boobs from Mama Mio just in time to take care of my body after giving birth to my son. All of us Moms painfully know exactly what happens to our boobs after pregnancy. After my second pregnancy, they are sagging even more than before. I have been using the Tummy Toner and the Boob Tube for four weeks now. Admittedly, I haven’t been doing the exercises, but I do plan to start in the near future. The lotions made by Mama Mio are purely luxurious. Both lotions come in easy to use pumps. The Boob … Continue reading →
