Costume Squad T-Shirts Review & Giveaway


Where to Buy: Costume Squad 

About the site: Costume Squad sells, yes, you guessed it, costumes! But they also have a large number of cool t-shirts. There are several categories, even Zombie t-shirts.

My Review (Jake's Review, in this case):

Jake's main staple in his wardrobe are t-shirts and jeans. His favorite t-shirts are of bands, movies, or those with funny sayings. Costume Squad is a good place to get any of those. You can check out their Funny t-shirts or Best sellers to see which fit your style. I personally like the awesome collection of 80s t-shirts.

Unfortunately, slang has it's grips on our 14 year old son. And my least favorite of all his sayings is "that's what she said". As much as I cringe when I hear it, when I had my choice of t-shirts to review from Costume Squad, this was the one I chose.

We received the shirt promptly and Jake actually wore it the next day. The blue color was bright and there it was, the coolest of all sayings today. The shirt is a soft material, but durable. We've washed the shirt a few times since Jake wants to wear it often and it's still retaining its original color and appeal. Shrinking is usually an issue with t-shirts, but this shirt is maintaining it's size.

Me: So, Jake. What do you think about your shirt?
Jake: Cool.
Me: That's it?
Jake: It's a cool shirt?

Ah, 14 year olds. Plenty to say, unless you actually ask them.

The Giveaway: One lucky person will win their choice of Costume Squad t-shirts. ($19.99 or less).

Mary Kay Satin Hands Review & Giveaway

Do you wash your hands often? Soap can dry them out, even those that boast moisturizing enhancements. Weather can also cause dry hands, in extreme cases leading to cracking and bleeding.

I have the double whammy, I wash my hands often (I work at a casino, money is dirty) and Iowa weather is extremely dry in the winters. My hands often get very dry. The skin gets tight and itchy, which is annoying and unsightly.

I have used almost every hand lotion out there and there are few that can stand up to the washing and weather. That is, until now. My sister, Danielle, is a consultant for Mary Kay. I tried Satin Hands at her open house and I'm in love! It is a simple three step process that leaves your hands silky smooth and even withstands handwashing!

Step 1: Satin Hands Hand Softener. Dampen hands and add a small amount of softener. Rub thoroughly onto hands. You can choose to leave it on as long as you'd like, overnight being optimal.

Step 2: Satin Hands Satin Smoothie Hand Scrub. One pump of this and warm water, cleanses and exfoliates your skin beautifully. It actually suds up nicely in the water.

Step 3: Satin Hands Hand Cream. Apply a small amount to your hands.This cream is just the right thickness, without feeling greasy. Your hands will instantly feel moisturized and baby soft. The cream lasts up to 24 hours, even through hand washing.

If you're looking Mary Kay consultant, Danielle is available for all your beauty needs. You can reach her via email at dgelder(at)marykay.com or visit her website at Danielle's Mary Kay Page.



Giveaway:

One lucky person will win their very own Mary Kay Satin Hands Pampering set, including hand softener, smoothie scrub, and hand cream.
