Oliver's Personalized Kid's Label Review



I requested labels for Tyleigh Eden upon getting approved for the labels. I was excited to get the cute girly print and font for her! All the letters in her confusing name were in place and you can tell they took their time to get them made up for her.
I immediately stuck a sticker on one of her cups and after 2 weeks and about 20 washes the sticker is hanging in there! No fading or water bubbles and better than that no sign it has even thought about coming off!
These are by far the best sticker labels I have seen. If you have a child in daycare, school or just simply want to decorate and add some personality to your kids items these are the labels I would recommend to you! Ordering is easy simply click here Oliver's Labels to be taken to the site, pick you font and design and they will ship them to you!

HandHelditems.com is the WORST Company I have ever dealt with.

Bad business ethic really gets under my skin.
I cannot stand when companies are trying to rob us. Do you think I am just going to sit around and let you steal my money HandHelditems.com? I mean really!?
Partially this is my fault as I should have read all the bad reviews before I even attempted to purchase from these people.
And so it all begins.. Cats have fleas, cats come in, dogs get fleas.. couches beds and even company get fleas.. Boo! I know. I go online to shop for Frontline spray because I am cheap and the spray lasts longer. HandHelditems comes up in my search as the best priced IN STOCK place to purchase from. I go through the process of checkout, use my paypal account and send them $41.10 for a 250 ml spray bottle of Frontline. I get my account information and the ORDER PROCESSED information.

Well, yesterday at about 6:00p.m. approximately 32 hours after my order was "processed" I get an email saying that the Frontline was out of stock and discontinued and I would be refunded. First off it should not take this long to let me know that the item is not in stock. Second, I had not received a refund.. No refund! So I contact them through there little contact page and let them know how displeased I am with the way this was handled and I would like my refund immediately so that I can purchase the Frontline from a company with some business ethic. I am not a rich woman, I do not have $100 to put out on some flea spray at one time (ya dig!)

I get a reply that my money would be refunded TODAY. (Today being yesterday November 17th.)
I can provide that email by forward if anyone is interested in seeing that proof! Well, I wake up this morning and guess what?? NO REFUND! So I call and send numerous email trying to figure out why. I am assured that I will get a refund today. The accountant is not in but when she gets in they will refund my money through paypal. (Mind you please that there is a little button that says issue refund that you use to issue a refund with paypal, hard? I think not!)
Ok, that is fine. I just really need my money back so I can order Frontline please. I am assured again that it will be refunded today. By 2:00 p.m. no refund.
I call back speak with a lady this time. I am slightly irate at this point because these people are giving me the runaround about my money..
She says that paypal is holding my money and they have refunded it.

Call paypal.. NO they have not attempted to refund my money so I call back and speak with the same guy I spoke with this morning. He says some mumbo jumbo about his accountant being sick and that he has 7 days to refund my money. I reminded him of the email I got last night that said it would be refunded then and also when I spoke with him this morning he said it would be refunded today. Obviously I will get my money back through paypal but why do they want my money for 7 days? It seems like if you know you cannot keep it you would just give it back and not cause me such a dang headache. I have had to open a dispute through Paypal to get my money back. I would like to sue them for bad business even though it is only $41.10!
My advice to you my friends is steer clear of HandHelditems.com.

Really Wooly Bible Stories Review


Really Woolly Bible Stories
by Bonnie Rickner Jensen
We read alot of different Bible story books for children. Some are better than others in my opinion. Unfortunately this would be one of the lesser favorite books that we have read. Do not get me wrong it is not bad but I do prefer a book that gives more Biblical detail and not one that just seems to be rhyming to the next word.
The illustration and colors are cute. I also like the fact that the author did put scripture after each story. I just feel like some important parts of the Bible were left out of some of the stories. The book just confused my children. As for instance in the story of Joseph it says "Jealous brothers, evil plan in a well it all began." Great for rhyming but tells my children nothing as far as why Josephs brothers were jealous or even that he was pushed in a well and sold into slavery.
Again, it is not a bad book and if you want to go into the Bible as you read the book and explain the rhymes to the children this would be the book for you. I just prefer a book that lays it out for them to understand.

Ouch

Hey guys! I hope you are all doing well. I am starting to get some relief from an abscessed tooth. I had a dentist visit for the first time since Keane (who is 6) was about 9 months! So over 5 years! The dentist gives me anxiety! What is funny is I'm not really afraid of pain. I don't know exactly what it is that makes me panicky but it defiantly does! But so does going to the doctor. out to eat, large groups of people.. and the list goes on unfortunately.
I have suffered from panic attacks since about 17 years of age.
There doesn't have to be a reason for my crippling anxiety.. sometimes it strikes out of nowhere and I just want to be at home. I have been at a point in my life where I could not leave my house without feeling like I was dying.. having a heart attack , all the blood rushing to my head, numbness and many more physical signs of anxiety and panic attacks. However, praise Jesus since I have had my wonderful babies I have not had an episode like that and only struggle periodically with the anxiety and don't feel stuck in a total agoraphobic state of panic.
So anyway I was informed today that I will need to get a tooth pulled and 3 root canals and crowning!! But they will do it in 2 visits. Again, its not the pain.. its more the feeling that Im gonna have anxiety which causes more anxiety and light headedness But I have to get the work done and keep asking myself what is the worst that could happen.
I know ther are meds for panic disorder and I have taken Lexapro but as a Mommy who refuses to take anything when pregnant or nursing that is not for me at the moment. So I live with it. And hopefully and prayerfully one day it will go away!

Tooth Tissues


I am excited to review the Tooth Tissues! Being the Mommy of an 8 month old little princess who is in the process of cutting teeth I thought this would be a great opportunity for us!
I really love the simple idea of a tooth wipe! Not to have to get a tooth brush and fight through tears with her helps me out alot! Not only can you clean the tooth itself with theses nifty little wipes but the tongue gums and cheeks as well. You can get all the bacteria out of baby's mouth with just a few wipes!
It has been much easier and way more convenient with the wipes as opposed to a tooth brush.
Even if you like to use a tooth brush you can use these as well. Our dental genetics are far from the best so these are a necessity in my house! Not only is Tyleigh using them but Breck my 4 year old and Keane my 6 year old think they are the coolest things! This is great for me because neither of them have ever been overly concerned with dental hygiene or any hygiene for that matter! They are after all little boys!
I really really love these Tooth Tissue wipes and will certainly be keeping them around my house! I think you should check them out as well. Just visit Tooth Tissues to order your pack or packs today!!

Angelicare Spider Vein Treatment

Angelicare Spider Vein Treatment is by far the most expensive and advanced product I have been selected to review as to date. Currently selling for 99.99 plus shipping and tax if applicable. Upon requesting the product and telling family and friends about it they were curious as to why I wanted the treatment since I do not personally suffer from spider veins.. yet.

I will tell you why.. my 6 year old son Keane has had a small red spider vein on his face since about 18 months. Though it is not very noticeable unless you are very close to him it drives me nuts knowing there is a blemish on that adorable little face! So of course not wanting to do anything like surgery or anything major for such a small imperfection I thought this would be a great opportunity for us.

So we applied got approved and very shortly after received our Angelicare kit shortly after. The kit includes an electric massager and two 2 oz. containers of Angelicare Ultra Nutricreme for all skin types. The company also includes a instruction manual and another short detailed book about the Angelicare system.
The overall process is estimated to take about 12 weeks for maximum results. I have used the system for 6 days on Keane and I can see a visible difference in the coloration of the spider vein. Where it was a blood red color it has toned down at least 2 if not 3 shades already! I am very pleased with the progress so far and cannot wait to see it vanish completely! I think given the results so far it will be gone within if not before 12 weeks! I would defiantly purchase this product in the future for spider vein treatment as it is a great alternative to pricey laser surgery and much less painful I am sure.

It is very easy to use and my 6 year old has even asked to do it himself! The massager is nice for the skin even without the cream so its like a 2 for 1 deal! I am very pleased I was selected for this great product and hope that you will head over to InventHelp and purchase your Angelicare System today! You can also call and order by phone 1-800-851-6030
