UNICEF Market $50 Gift Card Giveaway – Help Save And Protect Children

49 Comments

UNICEF Market has teamed up with our good friend’s at Novica. Now we can shop for the Holidays and help children in need. UNICEF believes that no child should die from a preventable cause like unclean drinking water, lack of proper nutrition or diseases for which you can vaccinate. When you purchase your Holiday gifts through UNICEF you’ll be putting your best foot forward toward saving an at risk child’s life.

UNICEF Artisan Wares

To sweeten the deal, the products you can buy are handmade jewelry, art, wares and more made by artisans from foreign countries. I’ve included pictures from numerous artisans in countries like Indonesia, Thailand and India. You’ll be able to learn about each artist and find out what your purchase will go towards. What you buy on UNICEF Market could provide packets of lifesaving nourishment or lifesaving vaccines. Shopping with UNICEF is both emotionally fulfilling, charitable and affordable.

The UNICEF Market currently has a trip to Peru giveaway. All you need to do is create a Pinterest like Curation board. They call it Curating Artisan Treasures and I like the sound of it. You just go to the website and begin shopping around. I started clicking on a lot of Peridot jewelry because it’s my mom’s birthstone and it’s hard to find. I clicked the Curate button and added the ring to my “Thinking of Mom” board I’d created in about 30 seconds. It was that easy. There are better instructions on the site if you get confused or turned around in any way. I think it’s worth the 5 minutes or less it takes to enter such a life altering contest.

Right now I’m giving away a $50 gift card so that you can do some holiday shopping or just buy something lovely for yourself. To enter follow the instructions below. Enjoy and happy shopping. <3

Cat’s Pride Vera Bradley Camocat Tote Giveaway

60 Comments

Cat’s Pride® has offered up quite a purrfect giveaway for the readers of MySentimentExactLee. You could be my lucky winner so keep reading to find out how you could be carrying the new Vera Bradley Camocat tote to your next get together.

My Pride And Joy Lilee

I never liked cats growing up because I’m allergic to them so it created an aversion. When my friend Aimee asked if I could take her cat Lilee my son Jason begged me to say yes. I said we could give it a one week test to see if I could handle the allergies. Unfortunately I am still allergic to her, but I fell so deeply in love with Lilee I just couldn’t give her back. She isn’t a typical cat, she never plays and rarely wants any attention. But somehow she is still just my favorite pet. She’s beautiful, a tuxedo cat and fat (20 lbs) with beautiful eyes and she does love Jason. She responds to him and made him happy when he was having a hard time in his life. Everyday at least twice I chase her down and pick her up and snuggle her and tell her she is my “girl baby” and how much I love her. It makes her insane and she squirms the entire time. She’s just not a touchy feely kitty. Oh well for her, I’m not stopping anytime soon.

Last but not least, this month is Adopt-a-Shelter-Cat month. Please, if you are ever looking for a new pet, consider the local animal shelter. We have far too many animals in this world. More animals than we can give homes. The most important thing to remember is to spay and neuter your pet but the next step it to adopt from a shelter.

Free Online Games For Kids

Do your children play a lot of free online games for kids? Spencer does, so much so that I have to limit his time or else he’d play all day. While he enjoys basic puzzle games and maze games that keep his mind sharp, he especially loves online games with characters like Spider-man, Pokemon characters and other Disney character games. Poki games is a free online game site for kids that allows Spencer to play online games he enjoys safely.

Superheroes aren’t just all the rage with me in this house. I’m telling you this as Spencer and I watch Legends of Tomorrow. Spencer is my little comic book lover. He knows so much about comic book characters and superheroes both new and old. It’s actually something he really enjoys researching during his spare time. He told me today that if he could be any superhero he’d choose Wally West aka the first Kid Flash. Wally West can run fast, faster than any other Speedster including Barry Allen. He’s also a science genius which Spencer appreciates since he too loves science and is an actual literal genius (kid brag). You can find DC Comics games on Poki and Spencer plays them daily.

Frozen Computer Games For Kids

My niece loves Frozen. When she was visiting for my vow renewal I got a double scoop of Frozen which isn’t typical in my life with two boys. I had the chance to watch Frozen maybe 3 times and play with some Frozen Lego sets. I know she enjoys playing online games and Frozen would be right up there. I checked out Poki’s collection and there is quite a list. My favourite frozen games on Poki were Elsa’s Frozen Ice Cream Shop and Elsa and Anna Building Olaf. Spencer watched while I checked them out and he approved. There were more in depth games I wanted to play but Spencer said I wasn’t allowed to sit and create wedding gowns on his time. So I had to turn off Elsa Bride Makeover.

Poki has more free online games for kids than you could imagine. Do the responsible thing and check it out for yourself first so that your child can give it a try. This is what I did for Spencer and now Poki is on the short list of free online games for kids he’s allowed to utilize.

Right now I’m giving away an Amazon Fire 7″ 8gb tablet. That way your son or daughter can play Poki anywhere anytime. Enter below.

JLust By JLo New Jennifer Lopez Perfume Review – Win A Bottle

94 Comments

A new Jennifer Lopez perfume, JLust by JLo, has recently been added to the celebrity’s fragrance collection. JLust by JLo is her most recent perfume sold exclusively at Kohls. I’ve been trying out a bottle for about a week now and I like that it is fruity rather than floral. My son Spencer told me I smelled like peaches and strawberry and he hit the nail on the head. Look at the notes below.

JLust by JLo Jennifer Lopez Perfume Notes

Juicy mandarin
Apple blossom
Mara strawberry
Jasmine sambac
White peach
Vanilla orchid
Feather musk
Tolu balm (sweet note giving warmth, dimension and balance to citrus and floral scent. I believe it is what keeps this from smelling like a fruit basket.)
Tonka bean absolute (cinnamon almond scent)

JLust By JLo Review – How Does The New Jennifer Lopez Perfume Smell

JLust cloaks your entire body rather than just staying in the spot you sprayed. It isn’t citrus scented, it’s still warm and has a vanilla layer you can spot from a mile away. I do not smell mandarin at all and I know that will relieve some people who find this fragrance to be too strong. I always think of Orange Glo and working in shop class when a perfume has too much mandarin/orange scent. This Jennifer Lopez perfume doesn’t smell like powder at all. To my senses, there is nothing worse than baby powder perfume. JLust by JLo could have a bit more staying power as I did need to reapply to get through the day but I still found it worth the price point. I agree with Spencer’s opinion that it smells like strawberry and peach but add that vanilla layer and it comes together well. JLust can be worn both day and night and would be perfect for Spring and Summer.

Win A Bottle Of JLust By JLo

This Jennifer Lopez perfume bottle is reminiscent of the previous JLove and JLuxe bottles this time featuring soft femininity. The cube is pink and milky with a light colored snakeskin lid. It’s feminine and wild just like my My Sentiment ExactLee readers. And right now you have the chance to win a bottle all for yourself! Simply follow the instructions below. GOOD LUCK!

Sure Fit Memory Foam Mattress Pad – Win A Good Night’s Sleep

87 Comments

Just yesterday Jackie and I were talking about the importance of a good night’s sleep. Recently she’d slept on a memory foam mattress and it wasn’t her thing. People go on and on about memory foam, but for many, the lack of support outweighs the softness. I told her about my new SureFit memory foam mattress pad which, for just over $100 could be a nice alternative to a memory foam mattress.

What Is A Memory Foam Mattress Pad

Now let me be clear. My memory foam mattress pad is nothing like a memory foam mattress. It isn’t even similar to one of those memory foam mattress toppers. This is a pad that goes over and tucks under your mattress with a layer of memory foam and extra hypoallergenic fill. My Sure Fit mattress pad offers me an extra layer of comfort in a quality pad. Both Tim and I immediately noticed the difference once I put it on. When I removed it to test the wash we could recognize that the pad was no longer there.

Why Do I Need A Mattress Pad

If you are not already, you should be using a mattress pad of some sort on your bed. Here’s why:

Protective barrier between you and your expensive mattress in cases of sweating or small spills
Allergens from dust mites, pet dander and other household enviorment bothers can be kept at bay with anti-microbial pads
Waterproof mattress pads made with special vinyl (or other water proofing) backings are especially helpful for small children potty training
Temperature regulation pads offer wool to keep you warm in colder months and materials like breathable sateen to keep you cool in warmer months.

How Do I Choose A Mattress Pad

The key is choosing a pad that is of good quality. The Surefit Memory Foam mattress pad I received is 100% cotton and 300 thread count. Many pads are made of cheap fabrics that won’t last so keep your eyes open. This pad also stood up to a good wash cycle and tumble dry. The FORMFITTM Technology allows the Sure Fit mattress pads to anchor on any mattress up to 18″. It’s sort of like a super stretchy material that form fits the corners. Then the elastic part that goes under your mattress is strong and won’t budge. Your Sure Fit mattress pad won’t become untucked or move around awkwardly, even with exhausted use.

You can win a Sure Fit mattress pad right now because you have earned the right to a good night’s sleep. Use the form below and you’ll have a choice between:

Anti Allergen
Memory Foam
Reversible
Breathable
Waterproof

They’re all good choices so it’s really personal preference. Good luck, can’t wait to find out what you choose when you win!
