Ozeri Scale Review

 

As some of you may know from reading my plus sized costume review, I'm heavier set and while I HATE weighing myself, I'm drawn to a bathroom scale like a fat kid to cake (ok fine me to a cake). My current bathroom scale is actually probably an antique (see picture below) and because of this the calibration (weight accuracy), is off. I have to ADD 6 lbs to it, so it gives me a somewhat accurate weight, really how depressing is that!? Taking this into consideration, I was beyond excited to get a chance to review the new Ozeri Precision II Digital Bathroom Scale (440 LBS Edition).

State Park Review-Knights Point

The second park I visited was Knights Point in North Hero, for my family reunion. It was such a great day with perfect weather and family. Every year for the past 20+ years my family has rented the overhead shelter, while today it was used for shade, in the past it has been used for protection against some wicked rain storms. The shelter houses the picnic tables where we placed the feast of BBQ offerings, salads, and desserts spanning 3 picnic tables in length. I believe we used 9 tables total, mostly taken up by the older generation. My direct family and I set up camp outside the shelter under a large maple tree creating a semi circle with our folding chairs. To the right of the shelter were multiple mini grills and a horseshoe pit.

Vermont State Park Review-Sand Bar

I was ecstatic when I was given a 10 visit pass from Vermont Parks and Recreation to be able to review some of my local state parks this summer. When I started this blog, my intentions were to help Vermonters out, that slowly evolved into helping everyone out (no matter which state they were in), and now this review opportunity is allowing me to shed light and share my state with everyone near and far, I mean lets face it some people don't even know Vermont is a state (Yes, it's hard to believe, but when I went to boot camp years ago, some people did ask what STATE Vermont was in).

Scünci Flower Bendini Review and Giveaway

I was emailed and asked to review the new Scünci Flower Bendini and happily accepted the opportunity, not for me, but for my two year old daughter. I received the pink rose variation (pictured below). The design is very simple with the flower, teeth and the felt liner (I'm guessing for comfort).

To use this product I brushed my daughters hair and put it in a pony tail. I then showed her the clip and said "Don't you want to look pretty?" (which just about always works), when she willingly gave me her head, I slid the clip into her hair, bent it forward to close, and it was done! She didn't whine or cry and she's been wearing them in her hair for the past hour, running around saying "So pretty!" The way I have them in her hair right now she looks like a female ninja from Mortal Combat, lol.

I found the Scünci Flower Bendini very easy to use (it even came with directions on the back), which is awesome considering I barely know how to use a hair clip; the only thing difficult about this review was getting my daughter to hold still for the camera. In the past I have only ever used hair ties on myself and daughter, which is a little depressing especially when I see other little girls with cute hair accessories, but now with the Scünci Flower Bendini, I can spice up her hairdo and not feel so bad about my lack of hair skills.

This product is great for anyone who has a little girl in their lives who love to be pretty and at around $4.99 a 2pack it's steal, considering some businesses sell their hair clips for $7.50 PER clip.

Additional Information:

The Scünci® Flower Bendini clip is available in three sizes and comes in the assorted colors: black, blue, pink, ivory, turquoise, golden yellow, coral, purple, and navy.

.

The clips are available at Walmart, AAFES, CVS, Giant Eagle, Harmon, Rite Aid, Schnucks, Shopko, SuperValu, Walgreens, Weis, Winn-Dixie, and other drug stores and mass market retailers for an average retail price of $4.99
