Review of Costume Discounters

Are you ready for Halloween? Well man I am now! I got lucky and received a free costume from Costume Discounters to review on my blog and I love the costume I selected and received quickly.

I chose the Deluxe Flower Child Hippie dress below and fell in love with it the minute I opened the package. I was a little apprehensive, for I am a bit of a bigger lady, not fat, just pleasingly plump, :), and was wondering if choosing one of the plus sized costumes offered by Costume Discounters would be a wise move. It turns out that it was a very wise decision, for the dress fits me perfectly!


I grew up in the late 60s and early 70s, so this dress is almost NOT like a costume for me, lol! In fact, I can remember wearing dresses quite similar to this one back in the day, but I am not sure I wore shoes at all. Just looking at this dress brings back a feeling of calmness and serenity, and reminds me of my poetry and peace loving days as a teenager. What a different world we live in now, or I'm just different. Maybe wearing this great costume on Halloween will bring back some of that old magic.

Check out the great sales they have going on at Costume Discounters now, just in time to get your costume before Halloween. They have costumes for kids and adults, lingerie, brand name costumes like Disney, decorations, and all the Halloween accessories you will need for your costume, your kid's costume, or your party. Costume Discounters has costumes for all occasions, not just Halloween!

Review of ARIZONA WAY OUT WEST & WACKY

I was privileged to be supplied a free copy of the children's activity book, ARIZONA WAY OUT WEST & WACKY to review. What a wonderful book! Written by multi-award winning co-authors, Conrad J. Storad & Lynda Exley, this awesome activity, humorous history, and fun facts book about Arizona will educate and keep your kid busy for hours and hours.


Affectionately known as AZ WOWW, ARIZONA WAY OUT WEST & WACKY was designated an official Centennial Legacy Project by the Arizona Historical Advisory Commission, as authorized by the Arizona Legislature. That's a huge honor for any book, but especially a children's activity book. The book is awesome, and it is so easy to see how much time, effort and thought went into creating ARIZONA WAY OUT WEST & WACKY, (AZ WOWW.) Realizing that it would take much more than amusing writing and interesting facts about Arizona to hold a child's attention, the creative team-which are all made up of Arizona residents- added word searches, crossword puzzles, coloring pages, recipes, crafts and more to the book.

My review copy of the book is totally great, but the finished product coming out very soon is a perfect bound, 8 1/2 X 11, glossy cover, high quality paperback book. Published by Five Star Publications, AZ WOWW will be distributed through Ingram, Baker & Taylor, Pacific Four Sales, Amazon.com, Walmart.com, Target.com, and indiebound.org. To learn more about ARIZONA WAY OUT WEST AND WACKY and to order your advance copy, visit the work in progress website, Arizona Way Out West & Wacky, or Five Star Publications.

Review of Flushy, Trashy and Sinky--Natural House Products

As a person who is really trying to make a point of using only natural products, I was very happy to have received a month's supply of three Natural House products, Flushy, Trashy and Sinky. I love the cute names, but don't let that fool you when it comes to the jobs these natural household cleaning products work!




Flushy is for the toilet, sinky is for the sink, and trash is of course for the trash can. With flushy you just drop one of the packets in the toilet and watch as it breaks apart, foams and does a great job of cleaning your toilet the natural way, with products that won't harm either your toilet or the environment. It works like a charm!

I used Sinky in my kitchen sink, have actually used it twice in the last few weeks, and I can almost feel it cleaning my pipes with no guilt for me from using harm chemicals, nor worry about these dangerous chemicals harming my family or pets.

Trashy is a spray that you use on your trash can, both inside and out. I was amazed at this natural home cleaning product, for when I sprayed it on the outside of my dirty white kitchen trash can, it began cleaning before I even used a sponge to help out!

The image below gives a great visual of how the products work:
