Signed, Sealed, Delivered: A New Hallmark Original Series

Once in a while, I love watching inspirational shows and movies because after watching them, it leaves me a feel-good feeling as well as hope and happiness.

The Signed, Sealed, Delivered is a new original Hallmark Series which is ecreated and executive produced by Martha Williamson, who also created Touched by an Angel.

Here is a little something about the Signed, Sealed, Delivered Series:

The new original series "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" is a wonderful combination of romance, comedy and drama that follows the lives of four postal detectives who transform themselves into a team of detectives to track down intended recipients of undeliverable mail. Their missions take them out of the office where redirected letters and packages can save lives, solve crimes, reunite old loves and change futures by arriving late but somehow always on time. The team includes charming Oliver O’Toole (Eric Mabius), the group's leader is a man of faith who prayerfully approaches his work with the goal of making a difference in people's lives; new team member, Shane McInerney (Kristin Booth), a technophile who brings 21st century sensibility to the group; free-spirited, “girl next door” Rita Haywith (Crystal Lowe) who has a photographic memory; and lovable Norman Dorman (Geoff Gustafson), a master in conventional research methods.

I had the wonderful chance to watch the next episode of Signed, Sealed, Delivered which is to be aired this Sunday May 25, 8/7c on Hallmark. It is about a special couple with Down Syndrome who discover the Scriptural meaning of marriage through the challenges of their journey, which inspires their parents.

You can watch a preview of the Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Future Me Episode on the link below.


After watching the Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Future Me Episode, I was very inspired and happy that Ellie, the girl with Down Syndrome, found her courage and strength to fight for what she loves and believes in after Oliver O'Toole (Eric Mabius) and Shane McInerney (Kristin Booth) brings her a letter she wrote to herself a long time ago.

I loved the episode because it's funny, very inspirational and actually left me a bit teary-eyed in the end. It is full of hope, love and courage.

If you're looking for a TV show which will inspire you and make you feel-good after watching an episode, I highly suggest you watch the New Hallmark Original Series: Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

BebeLush 100% Virgin Argan Oil Review + Giveaway 6/16 US

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
I've always had dry, wavy frizzy hair so I always look for products which will make my hair healthier and make it more manageable.

Argan Oil is one of the products I love to use on my hair because it makes my hair more manageable and less frizzy. In addition to applying argan oil to my hair, I also found out that it is very helpful when it comes to my dry cuticles, nails and hands as well as a substitute moisturizer for my face.

BebeLush sent me a bottle of their 100% Pure Organic Argan Oil to try. I was excited to try it since Argan Oil is essential to me specially for my hair.

If you're not familiar with Argan Oil in general, it is a dry, non-greasy and easily absorbed oil. It doesn't clog your pores and can be directly applied to your face, skin, hair and cuticles. It can also be added to your favorite beauty products.
 

The BebeLush Argan Oil has a light yellow color similar to the color of other Argan Oils I've used. It has a subtle, light nutty scent, which I'm not very fond of but thankful that the scent goes away after a few minutes of application.

I tried the BebeLush Argan Oil on my hair and it worked great to tame my frizz and wave. I only had to put 3 drops on my palm and spread it evenly on my hair. My advice would be to not over-use it or your hair would look super oily to the extent of looking like you didn't wash your hair for a LONG time.

I also like applying it to my dry cuticles. I only needed 1 drop for my cuticles on my hands. I love that it is easily absorbed and although it's an oil, it is absorbed very quickly and it didn't leave any greasy or oily feeling in my hands.

I also use it once in a while on my face in place of my usual moisturizer and I like that it absorbs very quickly and although I have an oily skin type, it doesn't make my face oilier. It also didn't cause me any breakouts.

The BebeLush Argan Oil is an all-in-one product which is great for my hair, cuticles and skin.

You can visit BebeLush on their Website, Facebook or Amazon page.

Allons Danser! Let's Dance! French Learning Songs CD Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


Allons Danser! is a wonderful French learning CD by Whistlefritz. I played it while we're in the car and my 2 daughters who are 3 and 5 recognized the Le Vieux MacDonald (Old McDonald) and the La Tete, Les Epaules (Head Shoulders) song instantly when it played. They were fascinated with the language and asked me what it was. They also tried to sing along with the Old MacDonald song and tried singing it in French. They were so cute trying to say and copy the words. :)

The Allons Danser! CD have 20 songs included and every song is very catchy. I like that there is a lyrics page in French included and beside it is the English translation of each French word. I felt like I'm learning French as well. :)

Here is something about the CD:

Allons chanter! (Let’s sing!) Allons danser  (Let’s dance!) Apprenons le français  (Let’s learn French!) Get in the language-learning groove with this fun-filled collection of original tunes and beloved traditional favorites performed by internationally-acclaimed French artists Marie-Louise Desage and Didier Prossaird. From “Bonjour Les Amis” to “Au Revoir”, kids and adults will want to dance and sing along to these irresistible rhythms and catchy lyrics that introduce French words and phrases such as numbers (“Un, Deux et Trois”), parts of the body (“La Tête, Les Épaules/Head, Shoulders”) and children’s favorite topics (“Quand Je Serai Grand/When I’m Big” and “Y’a Pas de Fête Sans Gâteau/It’s Not a Party Without Cake.”) A rollicking rendition of “Le Vieux MacDonald (Old MacDonald)” puts a French twist on a beloved classic. Take the music and fun along with this French learning CD which makes learning French as easy as un, deux, trois!

Exposed Seam StaySharp Commuter Cuff Review + Giveaway 6/9 US

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

My hubby rides his bike to work since it's only half a mile away from our home. Sometimes, he comes home with grease-streaked pants because of the chain of his bike. The grease streaks are very hard to treat and often times, they wouldn't come off anymore.

Here is a little information about the StaySharp Commuter Cuff.

Exposed Seam is a Boston based company which offers a StaySharp Commuter Cuff for those who commute on bicycles. Rubber bands, rolled-up pants, grease on clothing or shoes laces caught in chains is no longer a problem. StaySharp's unique shape keeps pants clean and helps keep away from gears and chains - plus riders will look stylish and not look like they're digging for clams.

Exposed Seam’s patent pending cuffs are made in the USA, out of Cordura® fabric produced in the USA. They are designed for the right leg, but can be worn on both sides, and its reflective trim on the back seam helps riders stay safe. One size fits most.

StaySharp Commuter Cuffs are available in a variety of stores in the US, Canada, and Australia and online at ExposedSeam.com, Amazon, Square marketplace, and Etsy.

The Creators:
Jonathan and Jenifer Stark began Exposed Seam out of a mutual love of cycling and style.  Jonathan, who has commuted all over Boston by bike for many years engaged Jenifer's MassArt fashion design skills to solve his constant problem of ruined shoelaces and pants.  Sympathetic to her husband's plight, the StaySharp Commuter Cuff was born.

The first production run was made right in the couple's live/work studio at the 300 Summer St. Artist's Building, and they have since grown their business to enlist the help of a local manufacturing facility in Fall River, MA.  Jonathan and Jen are committed to keeping their cuffs made in the USA.

Jonathan's background in video development and marketing coupled with Jenifer's web design and e-commerce skills have also helped make Exposed Seam a home grown venture.  They hope to continue to reach new cyclists each year and spread the word that doing what's good for your body and the planet never means having to sacrifice your style.

When I received the Exposed Seam StaySharp Commuter Cuff, I was super excited to show it to hubby

Since he wasn't home when the StaySharp Commuter Cuff arrived, I tried it on myself. It's designed for the right leg, where the chains of the bike are, but can be worn on both sides as well. I noticed the silver reflective trim on the back and I like it because it will give him better visibility from cars at night. I also like that it fit snuggly on my leg and it's very easy to put on.

He doesn't wear shoes with laces to work so I tried the Commuter Cuff with my rubber shoes on and my laces were intact once I put on the Commuter Cuff.

When hubby came home, I gave him the Commuter Cuff and he tried it the next day. He said it was nice and that he's sure that he wouldn't have to worry about getting grease streaks on his pants anymore.



The StaySharp Commuter Cuff has 6 different colors and although I like the Alert color (Orange one) better, this is for hubby so I chose the black one.

You can visit the Exposed Seam Website to learn more about their StaySharp Commuter Cuff.

QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I've recently tried to do the Insanity workout and the first time I did it, I couldn't even walk afterwards. To be honest, I didn't have the energy to do the whole routine. I only did about 40% of the routine. I felt like all my energy was drained out.

The following days, I took the QSpeed Fast Melt CoQ10 NuLine Nutritonals sent me 30 minutes before I did the Insanity workout.

The QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) by Nuline Nutritionals is clinically tested and proven to be effective. It enhances cellular energy production thus it supports exercise performance. It utilizes a patented formulation that creates a tablet that melts in your mouth in seconds, while also delivering a full dosage in just a single tablet. The QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 is sugar free, gluten free, caffeine free, free from artificial flavorings, coloring, and preservatives, and each ingredient to be non-GMO. This is also of  top quality because Nuline Nutritionals utilize 100% natural CoQ10.


When I first tried it, I was amazed by the taste of the QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 by Nuline Nutritionals. It has a nice orange-y taste and it melted in my mouth in less than 30 seconds. It has a bit of a powdery texture when it begins to melt but I'm glad that the powder-y texture didn't linger after it was completely dissolved. I like that it gave me the extra energy and the extra push to finish most of the Insanity routine. I didn't get any upset stomach and I like that I can just pop it in like a candy.

You can learn more about the QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 at Amazon.

C-Slide Webcam Cover 1.0 Review + Giveaway 6/9 US

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


I've read and heard some news about hackers being able to access your webcam or even baby monitors and be able to see what's happening inside your home without you knowing it. When C-Slide Webcam sent me their product, I was super excited to try it since my daughters, who are 3 and 5, are the ones who usually use our laptop. They watch videos on youtube and play games on pbs.com and I can't really monitor them all the time.


The C-Slide Webcam Cover 1.0 is a patented design that works with all laptops, computers, monitors, Smart TV's, PS4, Xbox Kinect and some external web cameras. It is only 1 mm. thick so laptops are able to shut with ease. Its length is 1.5 in. and height is 0.5 in.

It is very easy to apply. There is a double sided tape at the back which easily stuck to the webcam on our laptop.

It is also very durable because it is made from a high-grade plastic.


It's very easy to mount and it's very easy to open and close. Just slide the cover to the right to open the C-Slide..


And slide the cover to the left to cover the webcam. It didn't harm or scratch the laptop's webcam lens and since it is very thin, I can close our laptop without problems.

I love how the C-Slide Webcam cover made me more confident that my daughters wouldn't be seen on our webcam and that at least they are a step safer from hackers who might activate our laptop's webcam without me or them knowing it.

You can visit the C-Slide Webcam Cover website to learn more about their other products.

Now onto the giveaway! C-Slide has generously offered a giveaway for a C-Slide Webcam Cover for my readers. You can choose between the black, silver or white C-Slide Webcam Cover. Just enter on the rafflecopter below. :)
