LITE SPRITES (sure to be holiday's must have toys for girls) review


As those of you who read my blog regularly , you know I am the proud momma of 2 beautiful little girls.  They love fairies and princesses and all things girly.  So when I heard about Lite Sprites by Wowwee and showed them the website they had a fit for them as I knew they would.


Now Lite Sprites are just being released in the US so some of you may not have heard about them so let me tell you a little about them...

Lite-Topia is an enchanted land of color and light and is also the home of the Lite Sprites.  The Sisterhood of the Sprites contains four sisters Prisma, the leader, Astra, Sprite of the skies, Brooke, Sprite of the water, and Meadow, Sprite of the plants.  There is also one more Sprite, Bleak who is a rebel of sorts that uses her power to disrupt color.  Below is a video of Lite Sprites and how they work...

 

Now my daughters and I were fortunate to get to review Prisma and her magic wand. 




 Now I had hoped to post some pics of them playing with it but alas my camera has been acting up again.  Hopefully I will be able to post some up shortly this coming week.  My daughters loved that they could control her color.  I did have to help them initially get the hang of how to use the wand and transfer color at first, but they were quickly doing it on their own.  Now I have to admit I played with this first before i showed it to them so I could help them of course ;) I enjoyed the toy and thought this is such a brilliant toy for kids.  Imagine the possibilities.  You could help your daughter learn her colors with this toy.  I plan to help enforce colors with my youngest since she basically knows them and all.  

I am certain this will be a must have toy this holiday season so you should be sure to get your hands on one early.  I know my daughters are already hitting me up for play sets and the Lite Pets as well. You can go online here to find where to buy just select the product you are interested in and it will show you a list of stores.  

You can also follow them on Twitter and "Like" them on Facebook to keep up with all the latest news about Lite Sprites..  Just make sure you act fast and go ahead and get that little girl in your life a Lite Sprite or two or maybe the whole collection just to be safe.  They are definitely worth the price and are affordable.

SOMETHING BORROWED dvd giveaway

I am a huge fan of a romantic comedy as most women are.  So I was extremely excited about the newly released dvd, Something Borrowed.

Movie Description

Rachel (Ginnifer Goodwin) is a generous and loyal pal to her engaged best friend Darcy (Kate Hudson). But after celebrating her 30th birthday, perpetual good girl Rachel unexpectedly ends up in the arms of Dex (Colin Egglesfield), the guy she’s had a crush on since law school…and who happens to be Darcy’s fiancĂ©. In the frantic weeks leading up to Darcy’s wedding, Rachel finds herself caught between her long-time friendship with Darcy and the prospect of losing the love of her life. Based on Emily Giffin’s bestseller, this funny and touching romantic comedy also stars John Krasinski as Rachel’s constant confidante and conscience, who busily evades the affection of one of Darcy’s lovestruck friends while harboring a secret crush of his own.


Now I have a really cool feature on this post where you can click to see a preview of the movie and also answer questions about the do's and don'ts of relationships and see how you compare to the majority.  So definitely take a sneak peek and see how you rate with the majority about the gray areas of dating.

RIZZOLI & ISLES SEASON 1 DVD SET giveaway

I am a huge fan of detective shows and I recently fell in love with Rizzoli & Isles.  This has quickly become one for my favorite shows to watch and I have to say I upset I missed the first season but luckily for me it has just been released on dvd.


Product Description

Tough & smart. Edgy & humorous. Rizzoli & Isles. Angie Harmon and Sasha Alexander star as combative, working-class Boston detective Jane Rizzoli and cool, cerebral medical examiner Dr. Maura Isles in an exciting police procedural with a compelling point of view, based on the bestselling novels by Tess Gerritsen. The two women have each other's backs as they investigate their city’s grittiest and most puzzling homicides, from the Back Bay to back alleys. The high-caliber supporting cast includes Lorraine Bracco (The Sopranos) as Jane’s overprotective mom. Some best friends shop together, some meet for Mojitos, some join book clubs. Rizzoli and Isles bust crime.
If you have not seen it I recommend you catch an episode cause you will be immediately hooked like I was.  Now if you are like me, you hate to just start a show in the middle.  Well, have I got some great news for you.  I have a copy of Rizzoli & Isles Season 1 on dvd and branded caution tape up for grabs.

CATCHING BIEBER FEVER with the NEW JUSTIN BIEBER SINGING TOOTHBRUSHES review and giveaway

A few months ago I told you about the soon to be released Justin Bieber singing toothbrushes. Well, guess what they have officially hit stores just in time for Back 2 School and the upcoming holiday season. 

Now I was fortunate to get to review on of these and my niece is a huge fan of Bieber so I quickly decided she was the ultimate choice to review the toothbrush.  First one of the great things about it is that it plays not one but two songs (one for day and another for night).  So it is double the Bieber fun.


Another great thing is that you can replace batteries and the brush heads so it is definitely great compared to other singing toothbrushes that you had to just throw out.  Now there are two sets of signing toothbrushes - One features "Love ME" and " Somebody to Love"  and the Second features "Baby" and " U Smile" (this is the one we reviewed and my niece loved it).  You can even go to the website to listen to the music featured on the brushes here.

These toothbrushes are high quality and perfect for the girl who has Bieber fever.  She will definitely love it and you may need to go ahead and buy extra batteries cause I am sure those teeth will be extra sparkly if you get her one.

These toothbrushes and other Justin Bieber dental items are currently available online and at Wal-greens and CVS.  Another great feature of the toothbrushes is that they are only $14.95 which I think is not bad since you can change batteries and brush heads.  The toothbrush was a bug hit with my niece and made me the coolest aunt ever.

SO hurry and get that bieber fan in your life one or both even.  I mean she is guaranteed to brush her teeth more just so she can hear him sing to her.  LOL

Now I have some exciting news one lucky reader will win a  Justin Bieber singing toothbrush.
