Dogs are Better Than Cats! Pinterest Throw Down between Still Blonde after all these YEARS and Simply Stacie

This is Question Dog, she answers questions on our Facebook. Now can you imagine a CAT doing that?

Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income Fame gave us permission to use his dog.

Simply Stacie and I are having a Throw Down to determine if Dogs are Better or Cats are Better ? Simply Stacie is taking the side of Cats, you can visit her post Cats are Better. Once you have looked at our posts and maybe even “Pinned” a few on Pinterest, take the mini-poll that you will find at the bottom of both of our posts. Remember, secretly you know….DOGS ARE BETTER!!! Game on Stacie!!

We all know about Guide Dogs and what heros they are! Have you ever heard of a Guide Cat? REALLY!

$60 The Spice Lab Gourmet Sea Salts Review and Giveaway (Forget the resolutions)

[ 331 ] January 20, 2012

150 Different Sea Salts from 30 countries

Blog Note: The Spice Lab Gourmet Sea Salts Giveaway is part of the Forget the Resolutions Giveaway Event. Hosted by Planet Weidknecht and Going Crazy!! Wanna Go?? Once you have entered the Giveaway for The Spice Lab Gourmet Salts, you will find a hop list at the end to enter all the other blog’s giveaways. HOP ON!

The Spice Lab Introduces the 11 tube Hawaiian –Aloha Sea Salt Collection, MSRP $49.95

The Spice Lab Gourmet Sea Salts available are offered in 5, 6 or 11 sampling test tube sets

Ever wanted to try something new and not want to commit to a large size of a particular flavor? The Spice Lab offers you just that opportunity! They offer high quality Gourmet Sea Salts, in 150 different flavors, such that your committment is low but your enjoyment and variety level is high!

What is The Spice Lab Gourmet Sea Salts?

The Spice Lab was founded when the company president, Brett Cramer, who has a passion for food and cooking, turned a fascination with sea salts from a handmade gift idea into a booming new business. The Spice Lab Gourmet Sea Salts gives chefs (and home cooks) access to some of the best tasting and undiscovered salts from around the globe.

The Chief Blonde Remarks: The Spice Lab Gourmet Sea Salts were a surprise to me. Sure I have tried Gourmet combination salts and spices before but never such dramatic flavor blends And never such clever packaging. I liked that each exotic sea salt comes in a Pyrex test tube with an all-natural cork stopper. Whatever size collection you buy (5, 9 or 11) comes stunningly displayed in a handcrafted, American-made, recycled lumber base. The sea salt tubes contain approximately one oz. of salt and a reference card is included in each package which offers suggestions on uses of the salts and dish pairings. I really adored the Wild Mushroom Cyprus Flake and the Chardonnay Oak Smoked Fleur De Sel salts. I also found the reference card useful such that I used my sampling salts in the proper way until I got used to their unique flavors and textures. www.thespicelab.com

Can’t Wait to Win it? Buy it ! The Spice Labs NOW! The Spice Lab Gourmet Sea Salts sampling selections retail from $24.95 to $59.95. Get one for a friend, a gift or buy one or two for yourself!

One lucky winner will take home their choice of any 11 tube Spice Lab Gourmet Sea Salts valued at $60.

$70 Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Bed Pillow Review and Giveaway

[ 346 ] January 19, 2012

STAY COOL at Night! Perfect for Women over 45 and all Women who are HOT!

Blog Note: This Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Bed Pillow Giveaway is part of the Blog Pop Bubbles of Love Giveaway Event. Once you have entered this giveaway, head back over to the Master Linky to enter all the other HIGH dollar giveaways!

Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Bed Pillow (MSRP $70)

Chosen by Dr. Oz as one of the top Healthiest Gifts for 2012!

The Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Bed Pillow provides a fusion of Memory Foam which is then layered with the exclusive Hydraluxe gel technology. The Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Bed Pillow cradles your neck and head, thereby allowing your muscles to completely relax while you sleep. The cool, refreshing layers of gel offer a permanent fix to turning, tossing, , and incessant pillow flipping. The upscale microfiber cover provides a gentle caress to your face. Wake up relaxed after a night of deep sleep!

The Chief Blonde Remarks: The Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Bed Pillow had the dimensions: (16″ x 24″ x 5″) and was an excellent replacement for my latex foam core pillow that I usually sleep on. Why? I love my Latex Foam core except they are very pricey! So why was the Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Bed Pillow a pillow that I would EVEN consider? Let me just say two things: 1)Menopause and 2) husband who is a furnace. This pillow was found in an independent study to stay cooler longer than any other pillow thanks to that amazing layer of Hydraluxe gel! Well, that convinced me I needed to try it. THIS PILLOW IS SHOCKINGLY COOL. Okay, I said it. It’s so so so nice and cool. Perfect for a menopausal woman. So comfortable, a perfect replacement for a Latex Foam core pillow. My biggest issue? The furnace (aka. my husband) keeps stealing it and using it on the coach for his back and for snoozing on the couch. I keep telling him “No” this pillow is mine and it’s a “Bed” pillow…but does he listen NO!!!!! So..sigh. I adore this pillow and give it two thumbs up, unfortunately so does my darling (furnace) husband.

The pillow comes in four colors– Frosted Pink, Cool Cerulean, Ice Violet and Glacier Green as well as two different playful patterns, Bubbles or Waves. Get the version of the pillow that works for you! I also think this pillow would work great for young guys who are always hot (in body temperature). Also, it perfect for allergy suffers as all materials in the pillow are hypoallegenic–a real bonus for me. It also doesn’t have the peculiar smell that you always have to worry about with a new latex pillow, like I usually use.

Comfort Revolution, headquartered in West Long Branch, New Jersey, is a leading distributor and marketer of high-end sleep products, including mattresses, mattress toppers, and pillows. I hope they let me try their mattresses next!! If their anything like the Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Bed pillow, I’ll never get out of bed!

Can’t Wait to Win it: Buy it here NOW! The price of the Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Bed Pillow is $69.99, that’s far less than other top-of-the-line pillows and shipping is free! Get one for a friend, a gift or buy one for yourself http://comfortrevolution.com

THE GIVEAWAY:

Giveaway runs from Jan. 19-Jan. 30, 2012 11:59 EST.

THE PRIZE:

One lucky winner will take home a Comfort Revolution Hydraluxe Bed Pillow valued at $70.
