Mr. Coffee® Café Latte: Early morning call for hot and great tasting cups of coffee, but a cup of coffee at a coffeehouse can put a huge dent on your budget, specially if you are a college student. What if I can tell you that you can enjoy endless, custom gourmet lattes anytime in the comfort of home with the touch-of-a-button? Well, let me introduce you to Mr. Coffee® Café Latte. Convenient touch-of-a-button technology, a powerful automatic milk frother, and simple one-touch controls deliver creamy, decadent drinks in minutes. Even hot chocolate lovers can indulge.

Scotties Facial Tissues: This Back to School many parents will be experiencing new firsts, from the first day of pre-school to the first day of college, if you are a mommy experiencing one or a few firsts with your kiddos, you will certainly need a soft facial tissue. One of my favorite facial tissues is Scotties and the reason is because Scotties is not only soft but Scotties also cares to make a difference. For example, currently Scotties facial tissues has partnered with rescue organizations in Boston, MA, Raleigh, NC, and Tampa, FL in order to waive adoption fees for prospective cat owners in an effort to place them in loving homes. Another reason is that Scotties harvest their product in an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible manner.

Downy Wrinkle Releaser: Back to school is an exciting time, kids will get new clothes and new school supplies but for us moms, it also means extra loads of laundry. After you fold and put away all these new clothes the last thing you want to do is slave over ironing. I was just introduced to Downy Wrinkle, with Downy Wrinkle just spray it on wrinkly clothes, lay them on a flat sturdy surface and smooth out the fabric with your hands, then hang the garment to dry. Instantly, the appearance of wrinkles will be reduced, no iron required. For more information about Downy Wrinkle Releaser, please visit the Downy Wrinkle realeaser website here.
Otterbox Defender Series: Our oldest son has been asking for a new phone, of course we didn’t give him one yet, but when he does we will need to keep our investment secure. This past summer both my husband and I purchased new phones, shortly there after, we were lucky to get the opportunity to review the Otterbox Defender Series cellphone case. One of the things I like about the Defender Series case is that it not only delivers rugged protection for my phone but that it comes in color combinations you can customize. Otterbox Defender Series cases offers a Multi-layer protection which protects your investment potential mishaps. For more information about the Otterbox defender series and other cases available, please visit the Otterbox Website here.

FoodSaver® 4800 Series Vacuum Sealer: After getting the kids to and from school and after driving them to all their extra curricular activities, the last thing you want to do is to get home and start defrosting supper. The FoodSaver 4800 series vacuum sealer makes this job a lot easier. Wouldn’t it be simple if you can purchase your meats in bulk and separate them into individual portions that can be place in the refrigerator crisper to be fully defrosted by the time you get home?
