Kaila The Art Hut Review & Giveaway

Kaila The Art Hut { Kaila meaning ‘Style’ in Hawaiian } provides you an exciting line of handmade arts and crafts by the artist whose passion for art is immense. Through simplicity of design the collections help to find satisfaction and thrive in simple pleasures.

I recently had the chance to review a couple items from Kaila The Art Hut. Kaila The Art hut specializes in handcrafted home decor and jewelry. When I first took browsed through their product I fell in love with the different designs and could immediately see a few favorites that would go perfectly in my home.

One of the products I really loved were the night lamps. I thought they looked gorgeous and mentally started making room on my nightstand for it. When it arrived I carefully unpacked it from the box and plugged it right in next to my bed. What impressed me the most was the simple design and the beautiful artwork. This nightlamp instantly gave my room a new look.

The night lamp isn’t just for a bedroom though. It would also look great in a foyer or living room and would make an excellent conversation piece. I’ve received lots of compliments on the night lamp and it’s one of my favorite decorative pieces.

I also received a chain & bracelet set that are truly unique. The matching set can be worn together or separately. You can clearly see the attention to detail in both pieces and how the colors complemented each other.

I love the products at Kaila The Art Hut and am sure that no matter what your style or home decor may be that you will find a piece (or two or three) that you will love. You can see more collections from Kaila The Art Hut on their Facebook page.

Kaila The Art Hut is generously giving one lucky reader a $45 gift certificate to spend on any product from their store. Giveaway is open to US only and ends June 8th at 11:59 PM EST.

Battleship Game & KRE-O Battleship Combat Chopper Review & Giveaway

With all the buzz surrounding the upcoming release of Battleship (in theaters on May 18th), I was super-excited to have a chance to review a few Battleship-themed items from Hasbro. I received the Classic Battleship Movie Edition game and the Kre-O Battleship Combat Chopper set.

CLASSIC BATTLESHIP MOVIE EDITION

Based on the 2012 debut BATTLESHIP motion picture, this movie-themed version of the classic BATTLESHIP game brings to life all the exciteement of the big screen. Sink your opponent’s fleet before he sinks yours in this heart-pounding, action-packed naval combat game. Choose to command the navy or the alien fleet, and defeat your enemy with new special ops cards that allow you to fire out complete columns of coordinates. Fire as many shots as you have ships, or force your opponent to reveal un-hit coordinates. The classic “hit” or “miss” game comes in two folding hard-cases that make it convenient to transport and store all of the pieces for easy play. The classic “hit” or “miss” game comes in two folding hard-cases that make it convenient to transport and store all of the pieces for easy play.

I grew up playing Battleship, so I was familiar with the game. My friends and I would spend countless hours trying to “sink” each other battleships. However, this new movie edition is a lot cooler than the one I used to play as a kid. The game comes in two folding hard-cases where you can keep all the game pieces and cards together. It was fun to see that even though this new movie edition has a more modern look, the game itself is just as much fun to play now as it was back then.

KRE-O BATTLESHIP COMBAT CHOPPER SET

With the Kre-O Battleship Combat Chopper set, kids can pretend to take their missions to the skies. Construct the helicopter vehicle, place the Kreon fighter pilot inside the cockpit, push the lever to spin the rotos, and launch missiles at incoming alien attacks! Includes 174 bricks, one Kreon fighter pilot and one alien Kreon figure with a twin turbine jetpack.

The Kre-O Battleship Combat Chopper Set was blast to put together. If you have a child who loves to build things, then this is definitely the toy for them! This set includes all the pieces needed to put the chopper together and will keep kids entertained for hours. The fun part is that kids can put it together and take it apart over and over. And even “big” kids will enjoy playing with the Battleship Combat Chopper set.

Both the Classic BATTLESHIP Movie Edition and Kre-O Battleship Combat Chopper Set retail for $19.99 and are for ages 7 and up.

Hasbro is giving one lucky reader the chance to win the Classic Battleship Movie Edition AND Kre-O Battleship Combat Chopper Set!

Sesame Street Live Ticket Giveaway - Everett, WA (May 18-20)

This weekend I will get to see one of the hottest shows in town… Sesame Street Live “Elmo Makes Music”.

Yes, it’s true. Elmo himself will be making a stop here in my city for five fun-filled performances this weekend. My sister and little niece will be accompanying me and although my niece absolutely adores Elmo, I admit that I’m feeling a little excited at the idea of seeing Elmo and the rest of the Sesame Street gang up close too.

Mark your calendar for this once-in-a-lifetime event—monsters becoming musicians! Elmo, The Count, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Bert & Ernie and all their funny and furry friends are taking to the stage to share the magical world of music with children. When Jenny, the new Sesame Street music teacher, moves into town, her instruments get lost. Jenny’s new Sesame Street friends quickly come to her rescue, and they all discover “instruments” that they never knew existed…rubber duckies, trash can lids and even their own laps!

The characters teach children, and themselves, that everyone has the ability to make beautiful music, whether they realize it or not. Don’t miss this opportunity to count along with The Count, visit Elmo’s World and do the Crumb-A-Rumba with Rosita and Cookie Monster at Sesame Street Live “Elmo Makes Music.”

AND NEW IN 2012 …

Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier Review & Giveaway

The Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier is one of those products that you don’t know how much you need until you try it. Now that I’ve been using my Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier for a few weeks, it’s hard to imagine how I lived without it for so long.

The first thing you notice about this air purifier is how sleek and stylish it is. It can easily be placed in any part of the room, even tucked away in a corner, and be completely unobtrusive. The attractive color and design will easily fit in with the decor of any room in your home.

The control panel is located on the top and is easy to use. Just a touch of a button can increase the fan speed from low to medium to high, so you can set it at a speed that is comfortable for you. It also includes a Filter Replace/Clean Indicator.

As far as noise level, I found the Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier to be pretty quiet. When set to low speed, you almost didn’t even notice that the air purifier was on. But even on medium and high speed, the noise can best be described as white noise.

So just how does the Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier work?

Pre-filter.

  • The air first enters pre-filter, capturing the largest particles, which enhances the durability and performance of the other filters.

High-Efficiency Filter.

  • The v-hepa air filter captures dust, allergens and other solid particles (including bacteria). Effectively removes up to 99% of airborne pollutant particles that pass through the system. This includes contaminant particles such as pollen, bacteria, dust mites, viruses, smoke, and other airborne impurities as small as 0.3 micron. Unique low air flow resistance technology makes air purifier more powerful and effective.

Safe and Effective Ion.

  • The nano piezo-electric ion makes your room more like a natural environment. A Journal of Hygiene study found negative ions to improve efficiency of filter units and multiple studies (including those by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture) have found to be highly effective against dust, bacteria, etc.

I tend to suffer from allergies in the spring & summer, but since using the Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier I’ve noticed that it’s made a significant difference in my allergies. I love that the air purifier removes 98% of allergens such as dust, pollen, mold, and pet dander from the air which means that I’m breathing better, sleeping better and feeling better.

Replacement air filters can be expensive, but the Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier uses an extended life v-hepa filter which can last up to 24 months and also includes 2 extra pre-filters. In the first two years alone you will save an average of $202 when compared to comparable air purifiers. In addition, the Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier draws only 55 watts making it low cost to operate.

I really love my Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier and as I mentioned before, I’m not sure how I ever managed to be without one. It is definitely a product that we will continue using in my home for a long, long time.

You can purchase an Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier on the Oransi website for $334 with discounts available if you order more than one.

The folks at Oransi are giving one of my lucky readers the chance to own their very own Oransi Finn UV Air Purifier. Giveaway ends May 21st at 11:59 pm EST and is open to the US only. Good luck!
