BeeSavy benefits for online retailers:

It's a win-win-win. With most forms of marketing, online retailers must pay upfront with no guarantee of results; however, with cost-per-sale marketing, online retailers only pay BeeSavy when it generates a sale. Online retailers choose a commission rate that fits within their profit margin, thereby ensuring a positive return on their marketing dollars. By giving most of this commission to the purchasing customer as a cash back rebate, BeeSavy utilizes this online retailer marketing method to save its customers money that traditional comparison shopping websites cannot match (due to their cost-per-click revenue model).

One lucky winner will receive an iPad 3rd Generation, 16GB Unit from BeeSavy!

Technogel Pillow Review {Plus a Giveaway!}

Recently, I was given the opportunity to sample a product from Technogel®.

According to the company's website (Technogel S.r.l., 2012), "Technogel® started in 1990 with the Royal Medica establishment. At that time, Bayer Material Science used a special "gel" to produce small batches of anti-decubitus cushions for long-stay patients." Once the company realized what the gel's possibilities could lead to, the products they created ranged from wheelchair cushions to office furniture seating, and ergonomic computer accessories to footwear inserts and insoles.

 In less than a decade, Technogel® products morphed into all types of industrial components and bedding products. This prompted the company to create a new division, "called Technogel® Sleeping, that is producting and distributing with its own brand, high-end mattresses and pillows all around the world."

The company is also proud to have its fingerprint in the art world. The company site boasts, "Technogel® is also become a very well-known material in architecture, design, and art. Architects, Designers, and Artists, fascinated by Technogel's® peculiar elastic properties, have chosen to use it to convey symbolic contents and emerging values of new lifestyles in original arrangements. Technogel® products have so far been displayed at important events and venues, such as the MoMa Museum of Modern Art (New York), Triennale (Milan), Fuorisalone (Milan), International Motorshow of Geneve and Tokio and others." (Technogel S.r.l. "About Technogel in a Nutshell." TechnogelSleeping.com. Technogel S.r.l., 2012. Web. 23 June 2012. http://www.technogelsleeping.com/us/about.)

Technogel® isn't only a great company offering innovative and beneficial products, it's also offering a lifestyle. Technogel's® products have improved the lives of many people, and the future can only bring more positive effects. Just look at how it has helped me:

I was ecstatic when Technogel® offered to let me review one of the six pillow models they sell. I felt very qualified and prepared to review this type of product, as I suffer from neck, back and shoulder pain. In fact, I go to Occupational Therapy twice a week to combat this pain. So it is safe to say that I am constantly searching for anything that may offer a long-term solution to my pain issues.

The item Technogel® sent to me is the Contour Pillow. I spoke to Paolo, marketing manager for Technogel®, about my sleep patterns and what I needed from the pillow. Since I sleep in several positions, including my back, sides and stomach, Paolo recommended the Contour model for my specific sleep needs. This pillow is also recommended for those suffering from neck, back or shoulder pain, making it even more perfect for me. 

Paolo really knows his pillows! When I pulled it out to try, I instantly felt like I had melted into the pillow, and had a difficult time wanting to get back up. The pillow conformed to me no matter what position I laid in. Days later, I still have fun squishing the gel on top. I owe many thanks for the relaxed and sleep-filled nights I now enjoy to the Italian geniuses who manufacture this gellin' technology. :)

My pillow arrived inside the box shown above. It was wrapped in plastic for extra protection during shipping. The pillow has a super soft pillowcase, which forms perfectly to the pillow and zips across the underside for easy removal.

The cover is made to fit the pillow so well that it takes almost no effort remove for washing. It also doesn't fight you when you're ready to put it back on. I've had issues with things like this in the past, where it was a nightmare to remove and replace the cover.

The pillow has a memory foam base with a gel top. It isn't a flimsy, light pillow, either. It has a good weight to it. Without actually putting it on a scale, I'd estimate it to weigh about five pounds, making the $169 Queen Size and $199 King Size price tag a little more reasonable and understandable. This is NOT a poorly-made, low-quality product!

Here are some of the key benefits to owning a Technogel® pillow:

• Pressure Relieving
• Ergonomic Support
• Odorless & Hypo-Allergenic
• Memory Foam Base
• Soft, Washable Cover
• 3D Distribution of Body Pressure
• Postural Support and Alignment
• Three Years Limited Warranty



I absolutely love my new Technogel® Contour Pillow! It has a unique, cooling effect, which keeps me from sweating while I sleep. Many other memory foam models have this problem, but the Technogel® pillow's memory foam base is made to be breathable, and the gel top has a way of keeping you cool while you sleep.


Overall, I highly recommend this product to my readers. The pillow has given me so much support while I sleep, and allows me to sleep soundly through the entire night. It is the most comfortable part of my day. I look forward to bed time, now, with my pillow waiting to give me a hug every night.


Which pillow would you choose?

That's Sew Julia Review {Plus a Giveaway!}

Recently, I was given the opportunity to sample some products from That's Sew Julia.

That's Sew Julia offers great handmade items, such as children's apparel, owl pillows, nursing covers, ribbon taggie blankets, baby boy diaper cover and tie sets, banners, tooth fairy pillows and more. Every item created and sold at That's Sew Julia is one of a kind and unique.

I was so excited when Julia Shiras, owner of That's Sew Julia, offered to let me review one of the products she sells. I recently had my second child, a boy, and I was given a baby boy diaper cover and neck tie set, in my choice of fabric! After narrowing down my favorites, as she has so many cute options, I finally decided on this one. It's made with blue and brown argyle print and it is absolutely adorable!

This set is a size 6-12 months, which will be perfect for photos later on. By then he will be able to sit up and show off his belly, wearing his cute new diaper cover and tie. And he'll look so dapper wearing his little tie, when we go to church or to special occasions. You can never go wrong with a great, handmade item like this. And the set retails for just $24, so it makes for a thoughtful and affordable gift for any little man!

First off, I really appreciate how she packages and ships her items. They are sent in a poly-mailer, but are also wrapped in their own plastic bag for extra protection. As you can see above, the set came with her business card and washing instructions: very important and useful.

You can see here that the tie closes in the back with a hook and loop, or Velcro, closure system. This is great if you need to make a slight adjustment, based on your baby's neck size.

I also wanted to point out that the back of the tie is tacked together just like a professionally made tie would be. The small, white stitches are done at two points. Although they are difficult to see, this is an important step in giving the tie its shape. The tie is also lined to give it the same stiffness as a store-bought tie, just mini-sized!

The fabric used for this diaper cover and tie set is of very good quality. It is obvious that Julia puts a lot of time and love into her work. Her sewing skills are of a high caliber, as the cover looks like anything you could find in an upscale boutique. Check out some of my other favorite items, found in her Etsy shop.

The Vibrant Summer Banner - So chic and posh for any party!

The Hummingbird Floral Custom Nursing Cover (Lined) w/Travel Bag - Sorry folks, this one's mine!

The Giraffe Garden Citron Dress - I just love the fabrics she paired together!

Julia is such a sweet and fun person to work with. Her work is adorably creative, and her prices can't be beat! Please check out her shop for all that she offers, in case I beat you to it! Since this review, I have purchased not only the hummingbird nursing cover shown in the above photos, but also the star banner shown in her logo photo. I look forward to seeing what else she lists in the future that I MUST HAVE!

Here, Julia tells us a little bit about herself.

"I've always enjoyed being creative and have dabbled in practically everything it seems. It wasn't until I was pregnant with my first son, who is 4 1/2 now, when I decided to try my hand at making a nursing cover. News got out among my friends and pretty soon I was making several for baby showers as well as selling them.

One of the best parts about sewing was my trips to the fabric store. I love it! And before babies, I worked in the interior design field for over 10 years as a purchaser/project coordinator and found it fascinating. One of my favorite things to do was walk the aisles of fabrics and help designers find alternates to their discontinued fabrics. Some people would find it dull, but not me. I love to help and research. Someone has to do it!

Coming back to present time...In 2011 life brought big change. Three months after our family of four moved to Sacramento, my grandma passed away. When I returned to San Diego, my mom gave me my grandmas sewing machine. It's a gift and absolute beauty. I knew I needed to put it to good use, but wasn't sure how. I soon found out that being a stay at home mom with two young children in a new city wasn't a curse, but an actual blessing. After seeing many ladies on Facebook post pictures of pillowcase dresses got my find reeling and wondering if it was capable of making one too. The funny thing is that I really did stay away from post girly frilly things until this past year.

I decided to pick out a few fabrics and teach myself how to sew. I made a dress and posted it on Facebook and right away three friends asked me to duplicate the dress for their daughters. That gave me the push to branch out and trying new things. In March I changed my name from Photo Julia (I used to do my photography) to That's Sew Julia and am just shy of reaching 1000 fans.

My biggest seller by far are my diaper cover and necktie sets for babies/toddlers as well as birthday sets. My focus is to create custom and unique handmade crafts and sewings such as dirty and clean magnet signs, diaper covers and neckties, tooth fairy pillows, nursing covers and banners...just to name a few. Honestly, I love to create and it brings me great joy to provide my clients with useful products they can afford."

Denise Calhoun, Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant Review {Plus a Giveaway!}

Recently, I was given the opportunity to sample some products from Mary Kay.

Mary Kay is a company which needs no introduction. The company was founded by Mary Kay Ash in 1963, and since then has become a beauty powerhouse for all things skin care and color cosmetics-related! Just about every woman has tried or at least heard of Mary Kay products.

I knew it was meant to be when Denise Calhoun, Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant offered to let me review one of the products she sells. I was pregnant when she contacted me and desperately in need of pampering. I think she picked the best product possible for my ever-so-tired feet.

The item Denise sent to me is one of Mary Kay's newest products, the Limited Edition Mary Kay® Mint Blossom Pedicure Set. And since this set retails for just $24, it makes for a really great and affordable gift for anyone who likes to be pampered!

Here is the stock photo of my pedicure set. As you can see in the photo, the set includes the following:

• 10 Mint Blossom™ Foot Fizzies
• One 3 oz. Mint Blossom™ Icy Foot Gel
• One Pumice Stone (in the cutest little foot shape!)
• One Emery Board
• One Coordinating Bag (making it perfect for gift-giving!)

When I got my pedicure set I was so excited to try it out. The only bummer was knowing that I couldn't reach my feet to use it! You see, I was waiting to finally pamper myself once I had my baby. But after a few days went by, I couldn't wait any longer! After going a full nine days past my due date, I knew it was time to call in the hubs.


Luckily, I am married to one of the greatest guys in the world. He loves me enough to scrub and rub my swollen feet. :) And he even did so for an entire half hour! To get started, I grabbed the closest thing I could find to soak my feet. Yep, what you see below is my daughter's toy bassinet. We just won't tell her! I can always bleach it later. ha ha

I wanted to take a picture of the Mint Blossom™ foot fizzies in action, and I was actually totally surprised when it instantly fizzed! It was like a little science experiment! The directions say to "Drop 2-3 Foot Fizzies into water for a burst of fizz. Soak feet 15 minutes for softer soles. Pat feet dry." I actually only used the one fizzy, and found it to suffice. It gave off the most pleasant aroma! The fizzies made the water smell amazing. I could smell a sweet, lemony fragrance, and hours later the scent remained on my skin.

Next, my husband took the cute little foot-shaped pumice stone to my callouses. He rubbed them until my feet felt baby soft smooth. The pumice stone didn't hurt my skin, but was just the right amount of roughness to smooth off my feet.

Finally, my husband rubbed the Mint Blossom™ Icy Foot Gel on my feet. It left them feeling cool and refreshed. This is just what I needed after 41+ weeks of pregnancy bliss. All in all, I fully recommend this pedicure set to my readers, as I completely loved it.


If you are looking for a fully personalized Mary Kay shopping experience, please contact Denise Calhoun. Denise is such a lovely woman to work with, and is fully deserving of all the new contacts and customers I am able to send her way. She's completely willing to spend time with you, discussing your needs and expectations as a customer, making your beauty experience a fun and personal one. I fully suggest that you contact her if you are ever in need of some time-tested and approved Mary Kay products, in addition to a great shopping experience.






Here, Denise tells us a little bit about herself. "My name is Denise Calhoun. I started my business in 2010. I live in Texas with my husband and my dog, Zeus. Every year Mary Kay gives different women's shelters across the US money to help them out.

There are a million ways to beautiful, and I can help you find yours – from skin care advice, to free makeovers, to shop-your-way convenience. Find Your Way to Beautiful™ every day with me!

How I bring beauty to you:

As my customer, you can create your ideal beauty experience. I offer personalized service that fits you. Just tell me if you’d like a one-on-one consultation, a party with friends, a virtual party, makeup tips, skin care advice or free samples. You can always try before you buy. If you prefer to shop online only or order by e-mail or phone, the choice is yours. I’d love to help you with any or all of your beauty needs. Let’s talk!"
