MadisonAtMain, Jellybean Rug Review And Giveaway

Here is my MadisonAtMain.com, Jellybean Indoor/Outdoor Washable Rug

Review & Giveaway,

This is the Front Gate Jellybean Rug I've been reviewing for the last two weeks.  MadisonAtMain.com sent me this product for free so I can do a review for Jellybean Rugs.  The quality of the Jellybean rug is pretty great.  I love the design on mine, it matches every piece of furniture in my house.  I try to avoid overly cute novelty rugs, or things that I just don't "collect."  I wanted a rug that would match my wooden furniture, and the earthiness of the artwork that are on my walls.  Plus, I love plants, the swirls of the front gate pattern makes me think of vines, instead of the iron gate bars.  The swirls are always beautiful to me, and somewhat fantasy like.

(21" X 33" - 1/4" thick)

It looks much better in person than the stock photo from the website.  The Jellybean Rug is extremely soft, and standing on it you can really feel the thickness of the pattern.  Shipping wise, It came in just a few days, and rolled flat with no problems at all.  I've bought door way rugs before that no matter what I did, they just did not want to lay flat after being mailed.  But the material of the jellybean rug is much easier to work with.  It can also be washed.  The rugs are not nonslip, but I am using them on carpet in front of my sliding glass door, so I really don't need the option of non-slip for where my placement choice was made.  

Giant Microbes, Superbug MRSA

"You won't find this Superbug in the Halls of Justice."

Giant Microbes, Super Bug MRSA, is beyond adorable, well you know.. for being MRSA.. I fell in love with the little bug, and his gold & black cape.  There is a site called Giant Microbes by Drew Oliver, that has nothing but these little buggers  Some even come three to a petri dish.  There are soo many of them.

Really,  The site is fun to search and see what one of these bacterias/viruses/critters look like up close.  The microbes are only a million times their actual size! So knowing those funky shapes, are the actual shapes of what the things are?? Creepy! Yet, oh so cool! 

Each one comes with a little pamplet on actual facts about what it is.

MRSA means methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria.  1 in 3 people carry the Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Many MRSA carriers show no symptoms other than when their immune systems are low. The difference between a virus, and bacteria.. Bacteria can live months without something to keep them alive.



I had so much fun doing this review.  The stuffed plush microbe is definetely unique, and addicting.

I'd love to catch them all.. Get it.. Catch them all..? Hahahah.

What Microbe would you catch?  

Got to catch them all.. Well not really, please don't.

For some reason I just want to throw MRSA at people, and giggle profoundly at, ha ha.. You were just hit upside the head with MRSA.. I know I shouldn't.. You should not try this at home.  But, these plushes, vinyl toys, and merchandise are just fun.  I received my Microbe for free in exchange for a review.  

On a serious note (I left this for last for a reason) MRSA is contagious just by human touch, with that being said, if a bump, pimple, cut, whatever becomes infected, starts to blister,  it may need to be drained, because the bacteria will stay inside.  It's a very dangerous staph infection that can burrow deep inside, even to internal organs, and your bones.  If for a moment you think something isn't right, go to the doctors.  This is not something that just "goes away." 

I received this product for free from GiantMicrobes.com in exchange for my honest opinion for a review. I was not paid for this post.  No one told me what to say. 

Omax3 Ultra-Pure Review

I've been reviewing,The Ultra Omega-3 supplement Omax3 softgels the last past month, what I like about the omax3 is that there is no weird after taste, and I'm not burping up fish oil. They are extremely easy to swallow. That's what happens to me when I take fish oil. I'm fine, til a few hours later then the taste comes back up. I know.. I know, that's nasty, but that's just what happens to me. With the Omax3's I still got my the right ratio of EPA/DHA, and it is 10x more than Fish/Krill Oil alone.

My body needs the extra fatty acids, to help with inflammation.  I fractured, and separated my leg years ago, but there is still metal hardware that makes it possible for my knee to bend.  I have what is called an Open Reduction Internal Fixation.  Just a fancy way of saying there is a leg brace under the skin drilled to bone, and cadavers that looks like a keenex set.   I don't believe in taking a chemical induced cocktail of drugs that's supposed to help nerve damage, and bone pain.  I just wont do it.  The side affects of those drugs out weigh the benefits of just a healthier diet, trying to keep weight off myself, and taking pills like Omega-3 supplements to help blood flow, and cholesterol.  I'm not a doctor, and I'm not saying this would be your cure all drug,  what I am saying is I already took pills like this before, and I will continue taking Omega-3 supplements.  

Everyone should ask themselves,

• Am I getting enough omega-3 fatty acids in my diet?

• What are Omega-3's good for?

• Why does my body need supplements like this?

These are all questions you need to research, and ask your doctor about before taking a supplement.  In past experience, a good doctor will seek out dietitian help, homeopathic alternatives, and not just throw their patients on some type of chemical altering pill.  I understand sometimes those pills are needed, but there are cases where they aren't.  

This really is something I feel strongly about.  Bad things happen mostly not from the direct cause, but from a side affect caused from something else completely.  

Omax3.com's website states,

"Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids have a role in regulating natural inflammatory responses.

Omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation response within the body and omega-6 fatty acids promote inflammation.

Early human diets were high in omega-3-rich content, leading toward a balanced (1:1) ratio in omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. Unfortunately, the modern Western diet has tilted the scale to a lopsided (1:15) omega-3 to omega-6 ratio.4

Science strongly suggests that restoring the balance between omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can restore proper inflammatory responses within the body ."

Purex Insider: Combat Source Kill Max Ant Bait, and Gel

Review, and Giveaway For Combat Source Kill Max Ant Bate, and Gel,

I'm part of Purex Insiders group.  I received this Kit of Combat Source Kill Max Ant Bait, and Ant Gel for free, for my honest opinion.  My first thoughts when the kit arrived was how real the ants on top of the box looked for the picnic scene.  I've been having issues with ants lately.  I really don't want to spray anything, so this is a better option.  I did try Lavender oil, Peppermint oil.  I'm really burnt out on the little red ants that keep getting in.

The bates I put nearest to the sliding glass door, and didn't use the syringe with the Gel were I put the bates at.  I read that it's better to leave them an opening that way they can take the ant bate back to the nest, and you have a better chance of getting rid of them.

Around the rest of the windows I used the syringe of Combat Source Kill Max on the exterior windows.  I have a baby, and a dog that both like to get into the window to look out.  So I wanted to test it on the outside,  I know I'm going to have more treatments that way, but I just feel safer that it's outside, and not touchable from inside.  

It's been a few days now, and I haven't had an ant bite me.  I'm hoping some of the bate got back to the queen.  

I have great news, since I am a Purex Insider, and For this Combat Ant Kit, I get to offer a giveaway to one lucky follower for the same kit I received.  These are chemicals, so treat them with respect.  Follow the directions.

Below is the Giveaway, Begins 8/18/12, Ends 9/14/12  U.S. Residents Only,  Entrants must be 18yrs or older.  Winner is chosen at random via rafflecopter,  has 7 days to respond back to my email.  Purex Insiders/Combat has full responsibility for shipment of kit.

The Alpha Beasts Review

I've been trying to find a fun way to teach Vic his alphabets. I came across The Alpha Beasts and instantly fell in love. Just the name alone, "The Alpha Beasts," I needed to give my baby. There is a whole clan of them from A-Z, all different characters.

Each has their own unique, silly name.

A:Alphie
B:Boogeyfus
C:Calicocious

We adopted V:Vin-Vin. Vic grabbed Vin-Vin up, and started kissing him all over. Vin-Vin is a great educational tool too. It didn't take Vic long to trace the V with his fingers while I chanted "V, Vic," and pointed to him. I said, "Do you love Vin-Vin?", and he'd kiss him again.

The Alpha Beast itself was extremely soft, and can be used as a pillow. I really love this thing. He's been dragging it around all day now, even took it to bed with him. I want them all! Even the Alpha Beasts Box ABC book set. At least this will be a fun way to teach toddlers the alphabets, and to spell their own names. I just need I, and C now, and Vic is done. Maybe, S-I-L-A-S for his middle name. That would be super-cute across his bed.

I think they are spunky, cute, and I want to live in their tree house too. I knew Vic would love it. He's a stuffed animal freak, and this just fit him perfect.

Kisses for Vin-Vin.

..My Blog Disclosure,  I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion for a review. I was not paid for this post.  No one told me what to say. Vic LOVED his new friend.  That's all that really matters.

Easy Canvas Prints 8x10 Wrapped Canvas Review

Easy Canvas Prints, Picture Wrapped Canvas Review,

(Isn't it cute? I love it)

I had the honor of receiving an 8x10 canvas wrapped picture of my choice for free from Easy Canvas Prints. I absolutely love my Canvas. My husband thinks he's hilarious by always calling me a Momarazzi. I do, love to take pictures. Baby Sy is our first kid together, and we are both in our 30's. I don't want to forget anything. I see the canvas everyday because it's on the wall by the front door. I live in the city, so It's nice to see a photo of my baby playing in the river, as the clouds from aboves image is mirrored. It's beautiful.

(The back of my wrapped canvas)

I was impressed at how well wrapped, and put together the canvas itself was. Here is a picture of the back of my canvas. Easy Canvas Prints prides themselves on being 65% cheaper than competitors pricing, and being professional quality.

I just used their canvas design tool to see which picture I wanted to use. The design app was easy to use, and no downloads. My overall experience with Easy Canvas Prints was a pleasurable one with no drama, and the canvas came extremely fast within the week. I wasn't expecting it to be that fast, but no complaints here!

I received this product for free. I love it, seeing it before I leave the apartment makes my day.
