Stride Through Your Day In Style With Lugz #Review #Giveaway

Published on January 17, 2016 by stephanybissonette12 Comments

Have you browsed through the new Lugz arrivals? I did recently and had the HARDEST time choosing just one pair for my husband. I loved everything I saw (of course) and had nearly 20 browser tabs open to try and narrow it down. Trust me…that was harder than it sounds. I kept coming back to the men’s Empire boots in charcoal/grey/black and just knew they were the ones.

My husband can be slightly picky about footwear so picking a pair of shoes for him as a surprise when he got back from a work trip was risky to say the least. I’m glad I trusted my instincts because he really liked both the style and color.

Aside from the great look of the Empire boots, there are a few great details that make them even more appealing:

Water resistant Thermabuck upper
Padded tongue & collar
Flexa-stride memory foam sockliner
ASTM-F1677, Mark II tested slip resistant rubber sole

Recently we’ve had tons of wet weather so the water resistancy has been put through every test you can imagine. My husbands feet have stayed completely dry and warm. The flexa-stride memory foam is a really great added comfort feature to the Empire boots. I live 25 miles from the closest grocery store, doctor, well…anything really. When we make a trip into town we make it worth our while and are usually there for 3-4 hours. Today was the first time my husband didn’t complain afterwards about how bad his feet hurt. There’s nothing better than a great looking boot that’s comfortable and enjoyable to wear. Now he understands why I love my Lugz boots so much!

Don’t just take my word for it…you have a chance to win a pair yourself! That’s right…Lugz has been generous enough to sponsor a giveaway for one lucky winner to receive the same pair of boots in their choice of size. Giveaway details are below:

One lucky winner will receive their own Lugz Empire boots! Giveaway will begin 01/17/16 at midnight EST and will end 01/24/16 midnight EST. Winner will have 48 hours to claim their prize or another winner will be chosen. All giveaway entries will be validated. Winners are randomly selected. Click the link below to enter :

Ecko Unltd 72 Fragrance Review

Published on November 18, 2015 by stephanybissonette2 Comments

Ecko Unltd was founded in 1972 and since then, they have become well known for their quality products. In honor of the year the company began, Ecko recently released their Ecko Unltd 72 Fragrance for Men.

I have always been a little reluctant to try a fragrance without smelling it first, but I had a good feeling about the Ecko 72. I figured if the fragrance was half as good as anything else my husband and sons have tried from Ecko, it would be pretty spectacular and my assumption was spot on.

From the website:

“THE POSSIBILITIES ARE UNLIMITED

Ecko Unltd. delivers cool confidence with the launch of Eckō Unltd. 72. Capturing the excitement of limitless possibilities, this fragrance is for men who defy convention and push the limits at every turn. They are true to themselves at all times, and dare to live life to the fullest.”

Although I think Ecko 72 would smell great on any man, it definitely smells that much better on a man who is confident and ready to take on the world like my husband. He’s a ‘live life on the edge of your seat’ kinda guy…always ready for the next adventure. As if it weren’t hard enough to keep my hands off the worlds sexiest man (a.k.a. my husband), but when he wears his Ecko 72 he smells irresistible! I’ve had a few women ask me when we’re out running errands what cologne my husband is wearing because they love the scent and want to buy some for the lucky men in their lives as well. Make sure your man is the best smelling on the block with Ecko 72.

C4 Belts Review and Giveaway

Published on October 20, 2015 by stephanybissonette1 Comment

What better way to treat yourself or someone you love than with a customized belt that’s super fashionable? C4 Belts is the perfect gift, and is truly built exactly how you want it!

When I partnered up with C4 belts, I of course wanted a pink, adorable belt for myself. My husband, however, was really needing a belt for work. He had a belt but it was the teeth-grip type buckle and it was always sliding open. I decided to get my honey bunny the black belt with black chrome buckle.

I love the packaging the C4 belt comes in. My husband saved his and used it for loose screws in his tool box, what a great way to re-purpose the box!

The C4 logo is on every belt, and you should wear it proudly! C4 stands for Choose your Color, Choose your Cause. For every belt sold, 10% is donated to charity, and you can vote on where you’d like your 10% to go! Now you can spoil yourself or someone else while doing something AMAZING at the same time…truly a gift that keeps on giving.

Once your C4 belt arrives, simply cut to fit, and attach the buckle!

I do have to say, I was really on the fence about how this belt would hold up to my husband’s abuse. He works very hard, all day long, mostly crawling on his belly in dirty, rock filled, insect infested places. Moving, transporting, and installing manufactured homes is a rougher job than most would imagine it is, and let me tell you, this C4 belt has been tortured and abused the past couple weeks. Although the buckle is a little beat up now, that’s the worst that has happened. His belt doesn’t loosen, his pants don’t slip, and he’s able to work more productively because he’s not always tugging at his pants.

All in all it’s a really great belt, however, I would change one teeny tiny little piece. The corner of the cut out logo pictured above can prove to be a little bit of a pain. I mentioned that my husband is on his belly a lot under houses and that little piece catches really easily on rocks. It also catches belt loops when taking the belt off, but that is the ONE and ONLY thing I would change. How cool would it be to have the cutout logo attached to a colored background so it was one solid piece with an extra touch of personality?

GIVEAWAY!!!

C4 Belts has also been generous enough to sponsor a giveaway!! One lucky winner will receive their very own customized C4 Belt! Giveaway will begin 10/23/15 at midnight EST and will end 10/30/15 midnight EST. Winner will have 48 hours to claim their prize or another winner will be chosen. All giveaway entries will be validated. Winners are randomly selected. Click the link below to enter :

Kinivo ZX100 Portable Speaker Review

Published on June 24, 2015 by stephanybissonetteLeave a comment

I’m sure all of you know by now that Kinivo is one of the best, most affordable electronics brands out there. Everything I’ve tried from them has worked really well and is super durable. The ZX100 Portable Speaker is no different from the other exceptional products that Kinivo offers.

I love the stylish design of the speaker. The metallic insert in the middle really pops and looks great.

For those of you that like your music with extra bass, there is even an expandable bass resonator built in!

I really like how the speaker is really simple to use, while still being a really great quality. You plug the speaker right into your device, and you’re good to go. If you really want your music loud, you can connect up to 4 of these ZX100 speakers together for maximum music listening pleasure. What I love the most is that the speaker is rechargeable. I use the speaker for myself as well as letting my almost 12 year old son use it too. Usually smaller speakers require batteries, and end up costing more than they’re worth just due to replacing batteries so often. One less thing to worry about because Kinivo has thought of it all.

I keep a protective case on my phone because like everything, my kids also use it. The speaker matches my phone case perfectly, and look as though they could’ve been purchased together 🙂 . I really enjoy using the ZX100 speaker when I’m cleaning the kitchen. It’s got great sound and is ultra light-weight and portable so I can move it around the kitchen anywhere I want it to be. Next time you’re considering almost anything in the electronics world, check out Kinivo. If they have the type of product you’re looking for, I guarantee you’ll be blown away at the quality you get for such a reasonable price.

Enjoy Haircare for Men Review and Giveaway

Published on March 17, 2015 by stephanybissonette3 Comments

Enjoy Haircare is a name I’m sure many of you will remember. I have worked with Enjoy Haircare a couple of times in the past, and I have really loved everything that I have tried from them. This time my husband was the lucky one in being able to try the Enjoy Haircare for men line.

With the Enjoy Haircare for men line, now men have the same great luxury haircare options that women do but this is formulated especially for them. True to Enjoy Haircare’s standards, the men’s line is just as wonderful and luxurious as anything that I have tried from Enjoy Haircare thus far.

The All Purpose Shampoo is ph formulated especially for men. It is a hair and body cleanser so it saves men time like they really love, with one great product. It has a very light, fresh, citrus type scent that pairs well with the other 2 products that my husband tried.

The Build-up Remover was a really great thing to have before my husbands first use with the All Purpose Shampoo. He typically uses gel and hairspray that make his hair grainy with a really thick build-up of the chemicals that he’s using. The Build-up Remover works very well when paired with the All Purpose Shampoo and will leave your man’s hair soft and manageable.

Last but not least is the Sculpting Creme. It has a very similar scent to the other 2 products, but the Sculpting Creme was my husband’s favorite. For someone like my husband who has curly hair, typical gels don’t really work the way that he would like them to work. My husband really liked how the Sculpting Creme held his hair in place, but did not make it stiff and did not leave a thick build-up or residue.

GIVEAWAY!!!
Enjoy Haircare has been generous enough to sponsor a giveaway! One lucky winner will receive a trio of Enjoy Haircare for Men of their own! Giveaway will begin 3/17/15 at midnight EST and will end 3/24/15 midnight EST. Winner will have 48 hours to claim their prize or another winner will be chosen. All giveaway entries will be validated. Winners are randomly selected by Rafflecopter. Click the link below to enter :

K-TOR Power Box Review and Giveaway

Published on March 13, 2015 by stephanybissonette8 Comments

If you haven’t heard of K-TOR yet, they have some really great alternatives to traditional energy problems. They offer human powered energy alternatives that have so many uses. I was given the K-TOR Power Box to review and I have to say, I’m pretty impressed.

The Power Box is a pedal powered generator that can be folded down flat for easy storage and is super light weight and compact. The possibilities are really endless when you have the K-TOR Power Box by your side.

In the event of a power outage, you’ll still have the ability to charge up electronic devices such as a cell phone so that you still have communication with the outside world. You can power a radio to hear any announcements that will keep you informed. Almost anything you can think of, you can accomplish with the Power Box. If you plan on traveling through an area that isn’t highly trafficked, you can even throw the K-TOR Power Box in your trunk along with a battery charger. Should you be in a situation where you need a jump, just pedal for 10-12 minutes and you’ve got enough power to start your car.

Whatever way you find to use the Power Box, you’ll see for yourself how beneficial it is to have around. It’s simple enough to use that even my 3 year old is able to keep the power flowing. So simple that a toddler can use it, yet effective enough to quite possibly save your life.

GIVEAWAY!!!
K-TOR has been generous enough to sponsor a giveaway! One lucky winner will receive a Power Box of their own! Giveaway will begin 3/14/15 at midnight EST and will end 3/21/15 midnight EST. Winner will have 48 hours to claim their prize or another winner will be chosen. All giveaway entries will be validated. Winners are randomly selected by Rafflecopter.

Care Ring Cover Review and Giveaway

Published on November 15, 2014 by stephanybissonette4 Comments

(These are the 2 Care Ring Covers I received to review.)

Care Ring Covers are the smartest invention for women yet. I HATE taking my wedding ring off in fear of losing it, or it falling down a drain. I just keep my ring on and usually I’m left with cleaning things out of the cracks and crevices of my ring, and it’s a pain!

Care Ring Covers have an awesome bubbled design that makes it easy to cover any size ring, and keep it protected from anything you can imagine.

This is my ring protected with the clear cover.

And this is my ring being protected by the pink cover.

I have to say that I am in love with the Care Ring Covers. I have put this thing through the ringer since I got it. I have used it for gutting pumpkins, pulling weeds, painting a bedroom, even making meatballs! Despite what I have put it through, the durable silicone has held it’s shape and still looks as new as the day I got it. The Care Ring Cover has kept my ring not only free of dirt and gunk, but even helps to keep that area dry…nothing bugs me more than when there’s water trapped under my ring.

Pumpkin guts are usually my worst nightmare, but the Care Ring Cover kept ALL of the pumpkin guts out 🙂 .

There are three convenient sizes to choose from, so depending on your ring size, there’s a perfect fit for you.

What’s even better is I was mailed this three pack as well:

to host a giveaway for you!!! (My ring size is 4 1/2 so my Care Ring Cover size is the small 4-6, the giveaway covers are the same size as well.)

GIVEAWAY!!!
Care Ring Covers has also been generous enough to sponsor a giveaway! One lucky winner will receive a set of three Care Ring Covers in size small (ring size 4-6)! Giveaway will begin on 11/15/14 at 12:00 am EST and end on 11/22/14 at 12:00 am EST. Winners will have 48 hours to claim their prize or another winner will be chosen.

Br4ss Men’s Fitted Boxers Review

Published on September 18, 2014 by stephanybissonetteLeave a comment

The Men’s Fitted Boxers from Br4ss are not only incredibly sexy looking, they pack a fit and comfort that regular undies just can’t match. I of course love the look of fitted boxers on my husband, and he never seems to like the fit saying that they’re tight in all the wrong places and ride up and become more frustrating than anything. The Br4ss fit is so comfortable that my husband actually prefers these to his other boxers now, and I can’t wait to get him some more!

The Tie Die Blue are so fun and bright! They’re super stylish and have the Br4ss great fit that we’d heard so much about and my husband couldn’t wait to try.

The Jaguar Camo fitted boxers are HOT HOT HOT! They are unbelievably sexy and look absolutely stunning on my sexy man. I was SO happy when he enjoyed the fit of the Br4ss fitted boxers. That means he will wear them more than once and look drop dead sexy when he does.

The 4 way stretch offers comfort and fit that you won’t find anywhere else. The Br4ss fitted boxers are made with incredible quality and attention to detail. I can’t wait to get some more for my husband so we can throw out the big, baggy, unflattering boxers. Gentlemen, not everyone will see your boxers, but don’t you want the ones who do to know you love to live in style? There’s no better way than Br4ss fitted boxers.

Br4ss also included a sample of their ‘Alpha‘ cologne. In more ways than one, Br4ss sure does know how to impress. My husband is always on the hunt for a good cologne and this one won him over quite quickly. I also am in love with the scent, and I can’t get enough of it when my hubby has ‘Alpha’ on. He’s always asking for a good bottle of cologne, I just never know what to get him! I definitely know what Santa will be leaving in his stocking this year!

Solid Cordz Review

Published on November 9, 2013 by stephanybissonetteLeave a comment

Solid Cordz sent me an awesome 5 pack of their 1 foot extension cords to try out and share my opinion with you guys. Honestly, I wasn’t sure at first how much use I could find for these, but I was quickly surprised.

The first thing that popped into my head when figuring out where to use the Solid Cordz was my bathroom. My husbands electric beard and facial hair trimmer only fits in one of the outlets, one way. Considering this is the only outlet in the bathroom, I’m always having to unplug his trimmer to use any of my hair items (blow dryer, straightener, curling iron etc.). After forgetting to plug my husband’s trimmer back in, he gets pretty upset when he goes to use it and it’s not charged. Solid Cordz to the rescue!

Now, my husbands facial hair trimmer can stay plugged in to charge, and I can use my hair related electronics without any fuss. After I realized just how genius Solid Cordz are, the 5 pack went quickly in my house. Between chargers for handheld gaming systems, stationary game system a/c adaptors and cell phone chargers, we went through the whole 5 pack but freed up a lot of outlets that were just going to waste.

Hoo Rag Review

Published on October 27, 2013 by stephanybissonetteLeave a comment

When Hoo Rag said that I could review one of their products I couldn’t wait to try it out. This is the kind of product that I have been trying to find for my husband for a long time. They have many styles to choose from and I was able to easily find one that my picky husband would wear. In fact it was hard to narrow it down.

This is the style that I went with:

This one is called The Walker

It’s funny how the name fit my purpose for it and I didn’t plan it that way. We live less than a mile from my husbands work so he walks to and from work to help conserve gas (we do live on a very tight budget). Last winter, even on the coldest days when I would beg my husband to drive, he still chose to walk. There were nights where it was 2 degrees and snowing with the windchill making it feel like 12 below zero. He would come home so freezing, especially his face, because he is a stubborn mule and wouldn’t drive.

Now that it’s getting very chilly at night, it’s the perfect time of year to test it out. My husband absolutely loves his Hoo Rag. He said it keeps his face nice and toasty warm, and there’s even been a few occasions where he’s lowered it down because he got too hot. Once winter is in full swing it will never be lowered down, I guarantee that!

Here is my husband getting ready for work and putting his Hoo Rag on:

(Ignore how tired he is LOL. He works graveyard and was on VERY little sleep this day)

Another use that has come in handy for the Hoo Rag was framing in a fireplace this past weekend. My husand had to saw lots of wood, and kept inhaling sawdust. After my suggestion of putting on the Hoo Rag, he said “OMG what else can I use this thing for?” I see it coming in very handy when he’s out riding his Dad’s quad too! So many endess uses for Hoo Rag. What’s stopping you from ordering yours?
