Review: Joovy Kooper Stroller

The Joovy Kooper Stroller is a lightweight stroller inspired by the euro style buggy with a modern twist. You’ll be strolling in style with a sleek slotted aluminum frame and durable high luster fabric. The Kooper Umbrella Stroller comes in appletree green, red, black, brownie, or lemontree (shown to the left). Features include reclining seat, oversized canopy with sunshade, storage basket, plus roomy cup holders, storage pockets, and ergonomic foam handles with easy one hand push capabilities.

I was over thrilled when our Joovy Kooper came, however, I was reluctant to put it together. I have owned numerous strollers and nearly all of them were difficult to assemble. Since my husband has been working long hours, I was left to assemble this myself. Below I have highlighted the key features I look for in a stroller (tested with a tall, 40lb 2 year old).

Assembly
The easiest stroller I have ever assembled! Prior to removing the Kooper Stroller from its box, I prepared myself by grabbing a few screwdrivers. Fortunately, I didn’t need them!  Simply attach the front and back wheels by inserting each wheel until you hear a "click” sound. Next, attach the sun canopy via side flaps to hook and loop attachment. I was able to assemble this is just under 7 minutes!  

Safety
Five-point harness secures child firmly. Unlike a three-point harness, it secures the upper body as well. I never understood why some strollers are made without an upper body harness. My old stroller was a three-point harness and I cannot tell you the number of times my son almost fell out. I feel much safer with our Kooper Stroller.

The Seat
The seat features two comfortable seating positions and is designed for children 6  months to 50 pounds. The structured seat back includes multi-position, one-hand recline (149 degrees) options which allows any position from a fully upright position to reclining.

The straps are incredibly easy to adjust. To adjust the height of the straps, twist the buckle on the end of each strap sideways and push it out toward the seat through the slot. Once you have decided which of the 3 heights is best, simply push the buckle through the slot to the back of the seat.

The multiple reclining options is a wonderful feature. I love how far this reclines! My previously owned strollers claim to recline, but there is not much difference in the fully upright position and fully reclined position. The only problem I encountered is while in the fully reclined position, it is nearly impossible to access any items being stored in the storage basket.

The Ride
The Kooper is the smoothest stroller I have ever used! I was able to easily push using just one hand. I found that very ironic considering my previous stroller included a bar for one-handed push but required two hands to accurately steer. The handles are not adjustable which may be something to consider. I found them very comfortable in flats but being 5’9 without shoes made it a bit of a reach when I added 4” heels.

Initially, I had mixed feeling regarding the plastic wheels. I have never liked them but once we started moving, I couldn’t even tell the difference. It’s easy to maneuver, the wheels turn easily and we couldn’t have asked for a smoother ride.

The total weight is 17.9 pounds. It’s very lightweight, making it easy to pick up and carry or load.

Storage
There is a great amount of storage for both baby and parents. I love the two mesh  pockets located on each side of the seat. My son likes using them for small toys and snacks. They are generously sized to accommodate sippy cups or sport cups, bottles, as well as small snack containers.

The storage basket located beneath the seat is a decent size. It holds up to 5lbs. Personally, I wish it was bigger. I like to store my diaper bag, purse, and shopping bags under the stroller. I’m only able to store one small bag. However, bags can easily be hung over the handles which I thought made up for the size of the storage basket.

The back of the canopy includes two cup holders as well as a zippered pocket beneath the canopy. The cup holders can accommodate baby bottles, water bottles, sippy cups or other slim beverages.

Sun Protection
This has the largest canopy I have ever seen! The canopy is detachable and includes a  sunshade or visor.

The canopy and visor can be adjusted into several positions ranging from fully closed to fully extended or any position in between.

There is a roll back window also known as a peek-a-boo-window to keep a close eye on your child.

Cleaning
The fabric can be easily spot cleaned using mild soap or detergent and warm water The frame and wheels can be cleaned using a sponge or cloth dampened with warm water and a mild detergent cleaner.

The Verdict
The price of this stroller is very reasonable considering the quality and features included. I paid around the same for our travel system which was just thrown away due to a wheel falling off! I’m a little bummed I didn’t begin with Joovy as their stroller has everything a mom could ever ask for. Overall, I am highly impressed by our Kooper Stroller! I love the fact that it is so compact and lightweight, yet sturdy and durable. I absolutely love the design and bright yellow color. I receive compliments nearly every time we are out and about. My husband and I plan to have more children in the near future and Joovy is the only brand stroller we will ever use! If you are looking for the best quality strollers that will last you for years to come, I highly recommend Joovy.

The Joovy Kooper Stroller can be purchased at the online Joovy store for a sale price of $179.99 or at Amazon for around $152.

Sunglass Warehouse Review: Celebrity Sunglasses

Sunglass Warehouse provides high quality sunglasses for men, women and kids. Their glasses are the most affordable I have seen, all under $20.00! They look like designer sunglasses only without the expensive price tag!

Typically, I prefer women’s sunglasses with a classic look such as oversized frames in a black or brown color. Oversized Sunglasses look great on so many women and just happen to be one of my favorite sunglass styles. I am simply overflowing in oversized, round sunglasses, so I decided to choose something I have never worn before and opted for a fun pair of celebrity inspired sunglasses.

The SW Celebrity Style sunglasses feature a aviator-esque frame and are similar to sunglasses worn by today’s hottest celebrities. These sexy shades are available in 9 bright and fun colors.

These glasses immediately caught my attention. They’re different than the average black or brown glasses I’ve become so accustomed to. Choosing a color was difficult because to be quite honest, I wanted one in every color. Being the girly-girl that I am, I ended up deciding on the pink sunglasses.

The Celebrity Style Sunglasses are made from a thick, durable plastic. These pink  sunglasses are painted with two thin white stripes. The stripes extend from the middle of the left side, across the top, and end at the right side. They lines are subtle but give just enough added detail. 

I’ve found these trendy sunglasses to be extremely comfortable. They don’t have an adjustable or flexible nose piece , instead the “nose guard” is incorporated into the frame itself. These are the perfect solution for women who find their hair easily tangles when removing glasses from the top of the head.

I admire the fact that these oversized shades are lightweight. They sit comfortably on the face and rest gently on the nose, which prevents stubborn impressions left by some heavier glasses. 

I love the feeling I get when I put these super cute sunglasses on. It’s like I go from serious-minded mom to fun, silly and playful mom. Aside from from looking fabulous, these shades offer 100% eye protection with UVA and UVB protection. They are polarized which is another great feature. They work great at keeping even the brightest Texas sun from effecting my vision!

Sunglass Warehouse has an endless selection of sunglasses in every color, style and trend you could possibly imagine. Their website is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. They have a section dedicated to their customers. This is a great place for new shoppers to visit since they can find out how to choose the best sunglasses frames for your face shape as well as finding the best sunglasses based on your skin tone. The days of splurging on expensive sunglasses is history!

I cannot wait to try their new Rhinestone Sunglasses:

CSN Stores Review

When you want to save time and complete all of your shopping at one location, there’s no better place than CSN Stores. CSN Stores is an online shopping site comprised of more than 200 stores. They find the latest products, best deals, and combine them into one convenient retail website, eliminating the hassle of shopping from store to store.

For my review, I knew I wanted to find a children’s play tent for my two year old son. CSN Store, Swingsets and More, had just what I was looking for. While browsing through their great selection of playhouses and plastic play tents, I came across the Playhut Big Red Fire Engine Pop Up Play Tent. Like any two year old, my son loves adventure and I knew he would have a blast with this particular toy.

 

This toy is great for parents because it is designed with twist ‘n’ fold technology, which allows instant set up and easy storage. Once removed from the box, it literally took me seconds to set up. The fire truck is held closed with velco straps. Once you remove them the tent will begin to unfold. Another mom approved feature is it’s lightweight structure and ability to take anywhere.

The Fire-truck Play Tent is recommended for children ages 3 and up, yet this has quickly become my two year old son’s favorite toy. He spends hours entertaining himself, which makes mom happy! There is a door in the rear as well as a side door which is hidden by a “flyaway” flap. My son tends to be claustrophobic, but does great in his fire truck because of the see-through mesh windows throughout. It is suggested that this toy will fit two children. Since my son is an only child, and mommy and daddy are too big, a much smaller nana crawled through with him. I imagine 2 children could comfortable fit, 3-4 children for a more crowded fit or 1 child and 1 small adult. I couldn’t have made a better selection. I would definitely recommend this affordable popup tent for countless hours of fun!

As I said before, CSN really does have it all! While my son was busy hard at play, I was busy grilling up some tender chicken breasts on my new cast iron grill pan from CSN Store Cookware.com. Cookware.com has an enormous selection of all of the top brands in cookware such as Cuisinart, Rachael Ray, Kitchen Aid and more. I have always wanted a cast iron skillet and had no idea which one to choose. My decision was based on the fact that this skillet was the cheapest cast iron skillet I was able to find online.

The Emerilware Cast Iron 10" Square Grill Pan – On Sale $27.95

The gourmet cookware brand, Emerilware, is created by celebrity Chef Emeril Lagasse with All-Clad Metal crafters, America's premier cookware company. With Emeril's pre-seasoned 10" square grill pan, you can dress up all your low fat, favorite grilled foods with authentic restaurant grill stripes!

Since this was my first cast iron pan, I had no idea what seasoning meant, but discovered it related to the oil being absorbed by the pores of the pan. The description indicates this skillet is pre-seasoned, but I found my food still stuck during my first use. I learned how to season a cast iron skillet, and have been enjoying my non-stick cast iron skillet on a daily basis!

If you have never used cast iron, I highly recommend it! My cast iron skillet seems to really lock in the seasonings and flavor. The heat is even and consistent, making it easier to prepare a perfect meal each and every time. This pan is perfect for browning, searing, frying, and sautéing! Another great feature to cast iron, is the fact that it is scratch resistant and will not warp or chip. Though this skillet may stick during the first few uses, it becomes virtually non-stick with additional seasoning and use. I have definitely noticed less sticking with an additional seasoning therefore, I would recommend you season prior to your first use. 

The Emerilware Cast Iron 10" Square Grill Pan may be used on any surface, as long as the temperature does not exceed 600° F. All cast iron is heavy, this skillet is no exception. It weighs a hefty 8lbs, which is fine by me, but may be a concern to those living with medical conditions that affect their wrist/hand flexibility. The only downfall to this pan, or any cast iron pan, is the fact that the handle gets very hot. I’m ordering a silicone handle sleeve to help keep the handle cool. CSN sells Le Creuset Cool Handle Holders for around $8.00, which is definitely worth it!

With Christmas shopping season nearing us, I cannot think of a better place to get all of my shopping done in one place! CSN Stores has something for everyone! There is no item too big or too small. Whether you are simply looking new kitchen knobs or a brand new luxury furniture set, CSN Stores has you covered. Many of their items offer free shipping, otherwise the shipping rates are very low. With their 100% satisfaction guarantee, fast shipping, great customer service, huge product selection and low prices, it’s a wonder why anyone would shop anywhere else!

BUY IT: The Playhut Big Red Fire Engine Pop Up Play Tent retails for $37.97, but is currently on sale for just $27.98. The Emerilware Cast Iron 10" Square Grill Pan is on sale for $27.95, from it’s original price of $36.95!

WHERE TO BUY: Shop CSN Stores online and browse their 200+ stores for the ultimate shopping experience!

Smitten NYC Clothing Review

Inspired by 1940’s romantic comic books, Smitten NYC Clothing combines retro details with modern cuts to create a feminine, chic, trendy clothing line for today’s stylish woman. Smitten Clothing is driven by the idea to help everywoman feel “Smitten” which is why they offer fabulous clothing pieces such as cardigan sweaters, flattering dresses, casual trendy shirts, cute dressy tops, and sleeveless tank tops.

Smitten has a generous selection of classic tank tops with a high-end designer feel to them. Summer is the idea season to wear tank tops, but here in Texas, they are worn all year round. Keeping this in mind, I wanted something that I would enjoy wearing throughout the year. After several fun hours of shopping and contemplating, I decided on the Tank with Cartoon Detail.

 

The Cartoon Detail Tank features a deep scoopneck in front, and mid scoop in back. It is made with beautiful stitching detail along the arm line as well as double stitching at the hemline. The hemline includes a wide band with a small slit on each side. The bust area features a pocket on the left side with the whimsical detail of two comic characters sharing a passionate kiss.

From first glance, you will only see the top of the (comic) man’s head. Once you pull the pocket outwards, the romantic kiss is revealed. The photo shown above resembles the pocket’s comic book detail, only without the “Smitten” thought bubble.

This white tank top is made from 100% cotton and is undeniably the softest tank top I have ever worn. The material is much more lightweight compared to a traditional cotton t-shirt. If I hadn’t read the label, I would not believe this tank was made from cotton. It feels more like a delicate silk or rayon/wool blend. The care instructions are easy to follow: hand wash, lay flat to dry. This tank top is very well made and looks brand new after several washes.

Subtle, clever stitching gives this shirt the appearance of an expensive sweater rather than a plain tank top.The Tank with Cartoon Detail can be worn casually with shorts, jeans, or capris and flip flops throughout the warmer months. Yet,this tank proves its versatility when paired with a nice pair of denim jeans, leggings, or dress pants and  blazer for a polished, dressed up, sophisticated look through the cooler months. I could not have made a better selection! This tank provides everything I was looking for.

There is a bit of sheerness to this top, allowing the skin tones to be exposed. If you would like to appear modest, pairing a camisole is a quick and easy resolution. I actually found this to be a great feature, as it only adds to its versatility. In respect to sizing, it appears Smitten NYC clothing may run large. Normally, I require an X-Large, but their available clothing sizes are X-Small-Large. I chose large and it fits me perfectly. I was not able to locate a sizing chart, but Smitten will respond to any questions via email or telephone.

Smitten’s website is super easy to navigate and it took me no time at all to fall in love with their beautiful collection of vintage inspired clothing. Once you see their latest styles, you will understand why I had such a hard time choosing just one item. Here are a few items on my wish list:

When you shop at Smitten NYC, you can expect to find the hottest “dressed to kill” styles. I admire the fact that they are able to offer sexy, unique clothing, while remaining modest and comfortable at the same time. Smitten exceeded my every expectation. From their lightening fast shipping, to their high-quality, I feel completely confident shopping with Smitten in the future.

BUY IT: The Tank with Cartoon Detail comes in ivory (white) and is available in sizes X-small, small, medium, and large. Retail: $93.00.

WHERE TO BUY: Smitten NYC can be found in 400 specialty stores, major department stores, top line retail stores, or conveniently purchased at the Smitten NYC online website. To locate an online retailer or local retailer, you may use www.thefind.com.

WIN IT: Smitten NYC has generously offered to provide one lucky reader with the item of their choice up to $100. Enter the Smitten Giveaway here.

Crocs Capri Suede Flip Flops Review

Crocs is best known for their original “classic style” clog shoe. It is nearly impossible to end the day without seeing at least one person sporting a pair of Crocs Classic Clogs. Personally, I prefer flip-flops or heels to the Croc Classic. It wasn’t until recently that I learned Crocs manufactures a complete line of stylish shoes for men, women, and children.

 

In addition to being recognized for their unique clog design, Crocs surpasses the competition with their Croslite technology which forms itself to the feet, allowing wearers to experience maximum cushioning and ultimate comfort. When I learned Crocs was approved as diabetic footwear and recommended by the U.S. Ergonomics as well as many podiatrists, I knew I was missing out on something amazing.

Initially, I assumed Crocs only had the clog like style shoes. After exploring their website, I was happily surprised at how many cute and fun styles they have available. They have styles to accommodate everyone in the family. My personal favorites include the Crocs Flip Flops, Boots, Sandals, Heels and Wedges, YOU by Crocs and Ocean Minded.

I was recently given the opportunity to review the Women’s Crocs Capri Suede flip flop. Capri Suede offers three color options: Black / Black, Chocolate / Bubble Gum, Navy / Sky Blue and is available in sizes 4-12.

While all three color options look beautiful, I chose the black/black because of the sleek black and white two-tone combination. After removing my Crocs from the shipping package, I noticed the color is actually grey on black.

Despite my disappointment with the color, I slid my new flip flips on. Suddenly, I forgot all about the color and focused more on the amazing comfort. The entire foot bed is made with tiny circulation nubs to help circulate blood flow. The small nubs provided a heavenly massage with each step I took. I normally do not wear shoes in the house, however I refused to walk around without wearing my Crocs.

Because I have a wide foot and these flip flops are slender, I was concerned at how well they would fit.They actually fit great with room to spare. I like the fact that they are made with an elevated heel. The heel adds just a little height but is still low enough to make you feel like you aren’t wearing heels at all. If you have larger feet like I do, you will be happy to know there is just enough heel to make your foot appear smaller.

The one problem I constantly run into with other flip-flops are irritating straps. Usually, the strap feels okay when I first put them on, but after a few hours of wearing them I notice the strap rubbing against my foot. At the end of the day, I am left with sore feet covered in blisters. Crocs Capri Suede are the complete opposite. The strap is the perfect size – not too tight and not too loose. I have worn these daily since I received them and I have not experienced rubbing or blistering at all. These are the most comfortable flip flops I have ever worn!

Unfortunately, my husband and I were outside one day when it began pouring rain. I was wearing my Capri Suede flip flops. As we raced to make it indoors, I was immediately impressed at how well these shoes wear in the rain. Unlike most flipflops, the nubby footbed helped provide traction and my feet stayed securely in place without ever slipping. These affordable flip flops dried very quickly and are odor resistant.

Overall, the Crocs Capri Suede flip flops exceeded all of my expectations. It is so wonderful to have finally found a brand that provides attractive and trendy shoes without compromising comfort and affordability. If you haven’t tried Crocs, you are missing out on what could possibly be the most comfortable shoe ever made!

BUY IT: The Women’s Capri Suede Flip Flops are sold for $39.99. Shop Crocs online or find a local retailer.

Ceiva Digital Photo Frames Review and Giveaway

Picture frames are a great way to display all of your favorite memories. But often times, regular picture frames can take up so much space. Digital picture frames are a great alternative to display all of your favorite photos, without taking up much needed space.

CEIVA offers you the convenience of sending pictures from anywhere in the world to a home or office digital picture frame using your camera phone, iphone, computer or laptop, Facebook, Picasa, email or even your camera.

CEIVA Digital Photo Frames resemble traditional frames, but they are anything but traditional. Whether you are tech-savvy or not, you can enjoy a daily sideshow of digital photos from friends and family around the world or from your own camera – without a computer.

CEIVA Logic, Inc was founded in 2000 by former Disney executives who had the pioneering vision: to bring the world together through the power of digital photography. Industry Leaders then and now, CEIVA was the first company to invent and market digital photo frames. Their award-winning, patented technology positioned their product line as the premier choice in the marketplace. CEIVA continues to innovate advances in the way consumers see, share and store their digital photos.

Connecting Your CEIVA Frame

Connecting CEIVA frames proved to be a bit of a challenge for me. The first step is to set  up an account through Ceiva.com. Creating my account took just a few minutes as the instructions were very easy to understand. During the process, I added my frame serial numbers which were conveniently located on the bottom of my frame’s base.

After I plugged connected the power adapter, I was greeted with a “Congratulations, your frame has been registered” message. I then pressed the menu key and chose the connection wizard where I had the option to connect via land (analog) phone line, wireless, or high-speed/broadband.

I originally attempted to connect using the wireless option. When I chose wireless, I had the option to choose from several wireless networks. My connection attempt failed. I then tried to connect using the high-speed/broadband option, yet failed again. I don’t have a land line. Instead we have Magic Jack which is a digital line that connects through a computer. From working in technical support, I knew the chances of connecting through our digital phone line were slim, and the connection failed.

I was in touch with Donna (CEIVA) throughout the duration of my attempts to connect. She was very helpful in suggesting alterative ways to connect. I decided to attempt to connect one last time. I chose the wireless option and after using the “refresh” option to show other wireless connections, I noticed a connection I had not seen during my previous attempts. After just a few seconds, I was greeted with a message notifying me I had successfully connected!

I know it is my own fault for not understanding what type of connection I had. My only advice would be to find out what type of connection you have before trying to connect. If you do have wireless, and you do not see your connection when using the wizard, be sure to refresh until you do see your connection.

My Thoughts

CEIVA is more than just a digital picture frame. It’s a way for us to constantly stay connected to our loved ones. even though we live thousands of miles a way. CEIVA has truly changed our lives. My husband’s family lives in New York, while we live in Texas. My husband and I have a two year old son together. My mother-in-law has only seen him once when he was born. When our son was first born, I mailed pictures as often as we had them taken. Life has become so busy that we often forget to mail them. I love that I can instantly send pictures to my mother-in-law without the hassle of buying stamps and making long trips to the post office. 

In my opinion, CEIVA is the best option everyone. But CEIVA is especially great for the elderly and those not tech-savvy, including my mother-in-law. She doesn't have a computer and is not up to date with the newest technology. With CEIVA, all she has to do is connect her frame to her home phone line and she receives new pictures of her grandson as often as we send them. Not only that, but she can send pictures of our nephews to our frame using her cell phone. CEIVA is the best gift she could have ever received.

Sending pictures with CEIVA couldn’t be easier. I prefer to use the CEIVA Sender, while my husband likes the CEIVA Facebook App. The CEIVA sender is very easy to use and allows several photo editing options such as cropping, photo enhancing (auto-fix) and red eye reduction. CEIVA eliminates photo printing expenses and every cost associated with mailing photos. I love that the picture quality is crystal clear. Although I haven’t tried these features yet, I am looking forward to scheduling photos to be sent on specific dates, creating custom greeting cards, customizing photos and even setting my CEIVA channels to update me with the latest news, weather and even my daily horoscope! CEIVA has been a heartwarming gift and I look forward to waking up every morning to see new pictures being displayed on my beautiful CEIVA frame.

Flat Iron Experts Review and Giveaway

Flat Iron Experts is best known for their professional styling tools, hair care products, and flat iron reviews. I recently had the opportunity to review one of their top selling flat irons. When Flatironexperts.com approached me for a second review, I couldn’t resist.

For my review, I was sent the 2” Hot Tools Professional Spring Curling Iron. The first styling tool I ever owned was a Hot Tools flat iron. I used that flat iron for over 5 years. I couldn’t believe how long it lasted me. I was so impressed with the amazing quality and durability of my straightener and was anxious to find out if their curling iron would meet the same expectations.

Professional Features

• Easy to Hold Soft Grip Textured Handle
• 2 Replacement Springs
• Multi-Heat Dial Control
• Convenient On/Off Switch
• Temperature Reaches 428° F
• Jumbo 2” 24k Gold-Plated Barrel
• Powerful Spring Clamp w/Safety Stand
• 8ft Heavy Duty Swivel Cord
• Maintains Constant, Consistent Heat From 10 Variable Heat Settings (low to extra hot) With 85 Watts of Power.

The 2” Hot Tools Professional Spring Curling Iron is such a great curling iron. My hair is long,  thick, and coarse. This curling iron is the only iron that worked on my hair by providing a long lasting curl.  The handle is long enough to accommodate larder hands and it’s ergonomic design makes it easy to hold for long periods of time.

Since my hair is so long, I am often turning and twisting around to see my hair from the back. The cord’s generous length allows me to style my hair from a comfortable position rather than leaning into the mirror. The swivel cord feature is also a plus since it prevents kinks and tangles.

This curling iron works best for adding volume and/or loose curls. Hot Tools has been around for ages because their products work! I love this curling iron. It’s easy to use, and because it heats up in just seconds, it saves so much time when styling my hair. It adds much desired body and volume and makes my hair look bouncy and moveable. The one suggestion I would make to Hot Tools is to add an automatic shut off option. I normally leave my curling iron and flat iron on to make last minute touchups and I often forget to turn them off. Other then that, this is an excellent curling iron and I would definitely recommend it.
