Stopain Cold Review and Giveaway

June 29, 2011 2 Comments

If you’ve ever suffered from back pain, leg pain, should pain etc. then you know how important it is to have a good topical analgesic pain reliever.  Whether you suffer from arthritis or just the occasional aches and pains due to work, exercise, and everyday activities, these pain relievers can be an absolute life saver!
Today I’m sharing one of these products with you. It is called Stopain. Stopain is available in four formulations: Stopain Spray, Stopain Extra Strength Spray, Stopain Extra Strength Roll-On and the new Stopain Gel. 
The spray and roll-on formulations feature a convenient hands-free application. Stopain Spray, Stopain Extra Strength Spray and Stopain Roll-on are top-sellers in the topical analgesic category. All Stopain products provide fast, temporary relief of minor pains and stiffness of arthritis, muscle aches and back pain…so you can stop pain and get moving again.
In addition, for every Stopain product sold in 2011, a portion of the proceeds is donated to the Arthritis Foundation  (with a minimum contribution of $25,000).

My husband and I tried the Roll-on product and were very satisfied with it. I used it on my lower back and legs, and my husband has used it pretty much all over! And we found that it was very effective in relieving our pain.  
Apart from the overall effectiveness, we also loved the ease of application offered by the roll-on product.  
In the past we’ve used gels which have to be squeezed out into your hand and then applied to the affected area. I don’t know about you, but I hate getting the stuff on my hands because it seems to magically end up on my clothes, in my mouth or eyes, or on everything else.  
And unlike other “hands-free” products that we’ve used, this roll-on product goes on very quickly and easily.  That is, when you apply it, you don’t have to press down on the skin, which is great! I’d definitely recommend this product to anyone who suffers from aches and pains.

Connect! Follow Stopain on Facebook and Twitter.

Win it!  One Simply Sweet Home reader will win the Stopain Product of their choice.

Mandatory Entry: To enter, please follow the directions on the Rafflecopter form.

Aurora – Are We There Yet? Review and Giveaway

June 21, 2011 1 Comment

If you’ve been visiting my blog for a while, you know that I love the products at Aurora World.
Aurora World is celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year and is helping parents gear up for summer travel with a line of plush accessories based on one of the company’s top selling characters, Cheeky Charlie™. Developed particularly for boys and girls ages three to seven years old, Aurora’s “Are We There Yet” collection features Cheeky and his jungle buddies as plush, backpacks, neck rests and even “My Name Is” ID tags.
“This will be Aurora’s top travel and destination collection. It was designed to keep kids comfortable, safe and happy before, during and after their trips in the car, bus, train or airplane,” says Michael Kessler, Aurora’s SVP of sales and marketing. “The initial response following the winter gift shows was overwhelming. We are already working to develop new ‘Are We There Yet’ collections for later this year and 2012.”

The collection features Cheeky Charlie and Gerome the Giraffe bean-filled plush(11.5”, MSRP: $11); Cheeky and Gerome “Keep Me Comfy” Neck Rests (10”, MSRP: $13); and four fully functional “By My Side” Backpacks (Cheeky, Gerome, Lion and Panda; 12”, MSRP: $17). Kessler says, “Parents will appreciate the precious ‘My Name Is’ ID Tags (MSRP: $6), available in a six style assortment including monkey, giraffe, lion, shark, panda and gator. “Each has a clip for hanging on a belt loop or backpack for example.” 

I received the Giraffe Neckrest.  This little guy is super cute!  He’s made of a soft fabric and features the cute detail work I’ve come to expect from Aurora products.  I think these will offer kids great comfort on long road trips, and I think kids will love the fun animal shapes!
Another product that I didn’t actually receive but that I absolutely love is the “By My Side Leads” (or kid leashes, as I like to call them.)  I think these are very useful, not just on vacations but anytime you’re out in a  crowded place, and Aurora World has some really cute choices available!

And finally, the Are We There Yet? line includes these My Name Is ID Tags.  On the back of each of these cute animals is a place for your child’s name and your contact information.  Simply clip this on your child, and it will be easy for someone to contact you in the event that you get separated from your child.  Brilliant!
On the Aurora retail site, check out the Cheeky Charlie page to see all the products from the Are We There Yet line. And don’t forget to “like” Aurora World  on Facebook.
Win it!  One Simply Sweet Home reader will win a My Name Is ID Tag.

How to Enter:  To Enter, please follow the instructions on the Rafflecopter Form.

Sea-Band Drug Free Nausea Relief Bands: Review & Giveaway

June 8, 2011 1 Comment
As a frequent migraine sufferer, I’m always looking for products that can help.  I recently had a chance to try these Sea-Band Drug Free Nausea Relief Bands, and I was pleased with the results I got.
Did you know that 28 million Americans suffer from migraines! Are you one of them or do you know someone who does? If so, you understand that these chronic headaches are exceptionally debilitating and, on top of the intense pain, can trigger nausea that makes them even more uncomfortable to deal with (eight out of 10 people who are diagnosed with migraines report experiencing nausea). Plus, nausea makes it difficult to keep down the medication needed to treat the migraine to begin with.
This is where Sea-Band Drug Free Nausea Relief Bands can help. A study conducted at the Berolina Clinik (which specializes in migraine and headache therapy) in Loehne, Germany, showed that 85% of
chronic migraine sufferers who participated by wearing Sea-Band (acupressure wristbands better known for helping people with motion/travel sickness and morning sickness) during a migraine attack reported
positive results:
  • 41 patients participated in the test; participants had, on average, suffered from migraines for more than 26 years.  All participants had forgone the use of anti-emetics (anti-nausea drugs) for the purpose of this study
  • 83% indicated a perceptible reduction in nausea associated with migraine as a result of wearing Sea-Band
  • 44% indicated a significant reduction in overall (collective) migraine symptoms.
  • Relief was reported after an average of 28 minutes of wearing the Sea-Bands
  • Nearly all participants (98%) said they’d use Sea-Band again
How Sea-Band works…
Approved by the FDA, Sea-Band works by exerting constant, gentle pressure on a point on the inner wrist known as the Pericardium 6 (P6) acupressure point. It brings effective relief and can be used before or after the onset of nausea.
Sea-Band has traditionally been used to effectively reduce nausea from morning sickness, travel sickness, chemotherapy and post surgery. The all-natural, drug-free, latex-free Sea-Band does not cause side-effects often associated with anti-nausea medication such as drowsiness, disorientation, dry mouth or possible interactions with other drugs. It’s safe for patients taking prescription medications, pregnant women and children. Packaged in a convenient carry-case, they are washable and reusable, and one size fits most.

For more info on the product, you can also check out Sea Band’s Youtube page.

My Thoughts:  I get several migraines per month.  I would say that three to five are severe, although I may only experience nausea with one or two of them. When I do get the nausea, it often comes on quite suddenly, and I often find that it’s a catch-22:  Often I’ve been lying around on the couch and haven’t fixed myself anything to eat.  The lack of eating makes me feel bad/worse, but then if I finally try to eat something I’ll get the nausea even worse.  
I was anxious to try the Sea-Band anti-nausea bands, because I love to find natural cures and alternatives to medicines.  I’ve tried the bands twice since I’ve had them, and I found that my nausea was relieved within minutes.  Excellent! 

Win it!  One Simply Sweet Home reader will win a pair of Sea-Band Drug Free Nausea Relief Bands.

Stain Solver Review and Giveaway

May 10, 2011 23 Comments
For the past week or so, I’ve been catching up on some spring cleaning, and I happy to have the opportunity to try a new product called Stain Solver.
Stain Solver, which just launched this spring, cleans anything from tile floors, counters, decks and roofs, to your most precious garments and favorite pair of jeans. Stain Solver is an environmentally safe oxygen bleach that is non-toxic, all natural and completely kid and pet safe. The materials used in the active ingredient are so pure they are registered by the FDA as food-grade quality! You can’t get any purer than that!
I was immediately attracted to this product for two reasons: I can use it around my cats without worry.  And the product can be used on so many different items.
For my test run of the product, I decided to try it on our living room rug.  We’ve had this rug for almost 4 years now, and as you can imagine, over time it becomes stained from just general everyday use.  I moved our coffee table to vacuum the other day, and was particularly horrified by the area that’s immediately in front of the couch, where feet and shoes have been.
So I used the Stain Solver on this area.  I kind of thought, since the stain is set in, that it might not work on this type of job, but I was wrong!  I used it on a small area just to test it out, and I was completely amazed at the results.  
For one thing, the towel that I placed over the cleaned area (while I waited for it to dry) came up dirty from all the stain that came out of the rug.  And the area of the rug that I cleaned was actually clean and bright again! Amazing!  I can’t wait to use it on some other stuff! 
Stain Solver just launched its Spring Clean Sweepstakes, where you can win a grand prize of $1,000 to Bed Bath & Beyond, as well as a year’s supply of Stain Solver. To enter, just visit the site and fill out the contest form. You have until May 26 to enter!
Win it! One Simply Sweet Home reader will win a sample of Stain Solver.  To win, visit Stain Solver and leave me a comment telling me something you learned OR leave a comment telling me how you’d use this product. Deadline to enter: May 26
