Mother's Day Gift Guide: EatSmart’s Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale {Review & Giveaway}

 Featured Sponsor

3. 4 Measurement Modes: Grams / Ounces / Kilograms / Pounds

ace and friends thoughts

The scale is very simple to use.  Insert the two AAA batteries, which are included (yea!)  and turn it on.  Easy, right? You can then choose which type of measurement you would like to use (ex: g, k, oz, lb). You also have the option to tare an item (as I did above with the bowl). Add the bowl as you would normally weigh an item, then press the tare button and wah-lah... it resets the weight to zero. Add the item you would like to weigh and get your measurement results. The screen is very easy to read and it's simple to clean. It's sleek design fits into any kitchen decor and it's slim size takes up minimal room on your countertop.

So, if you know of a mother that enjoys cooking, but still like to monitor what she eats, this would make the perfect gift for her! The EatSmart’s Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale would also make a wonderful addition to any health-conscious kitchen.

Mother's Day Gift Guide: Plow and Hearth Zero Gravity Lounger {Review and Giveaway}

 Featured Sponsor

Shouldn't Mom be floating on air on Mother's Day? Ok, maybe not literally floating on air, but something super close to it? With the help of the Zero Gravity Lounger from Plow & Hearth, she can! I was thrilled to have the opportunity to review this fabulous  Lounger and I'm not waiting to Mother's Day to take full advantage of it. Even though it's been raining here, I've been lounging inside. Yep, I said inside!

About Plow & Hearth

What began as a small retail store in Madison, Virginia in 1980 has grown to include their flagship brand, Plow & Hearth, plus two others (Problem Solvers and Wind & Weather) that have joined their family during the past quarter century. Plow & Hearth offers unique, high-quality products for home, hearth, yard and garden.

As they have grown during the past quarter-century, Plow & Hearth have remained dedicated to the same principles that have guided them from the beginning and to which the attribute their enduring success: honesty, integrity and most importantly, their commitment to customer service. Plow & Hearth treat their customers like neighbors and friends. They offer only products they would use themselves, at fair prices, and they guarantee them without condition.

ace and friends thoughts

You'll simple feel as though you're floating on air in the Zero Gravity Lounger. It adjusts to nearly any position, from straight up to totally reclined and it folds super easily for storage. The support is amazing and the mesh fabric is quite heavy duty and it seems as though it will hold up under tough weather conditions. Love this... because Michigan weather is super unpredictable. The lounger is quite comfortable and it also comes with a cushion pad for extra neck support. The cushion pad is easily adjustable to accommodate virtually any height. My hubby has been enjoying the Zero Gravity Lounger just as much as I have... I'm wondering how that happened. I thought I told him... it was mine.... all MINE! (LOL!) Anyway, the powder-coat steel frame is sturdy and appears very durable. This lounger is available in three colors - chocolate, green and red (my choice and favorite)!

Doesn't mom deserve to relax, not only on Mother's Day, but everyday. Get her something she will definitely enjoy. You won't disappoint her with the Zero Gravity Lounger from Plow & Hearth. Go ahead...

Mother's Day Gift Guide: YourNovel.com - Personalized Romance Novels {Review and Giveaway}

 Featured Sponsor

 

If the Mom in your life loves to read romance novels, make her the heroine this Mother’s Day in her own book, a personalized romance novel starring her and her Honey. Maybe you and your significant other want to be the stars? Thanks to YourNovel.com, you can.

YourNovel.com, the creator of personalized romance novels, currently has over 30 titles to choose from, and each book is laced throughout with more than 25 details about the starring couple crafted from an online questionnaire, such as their names, hometown, places of work, eye and hair color, best friends, favorite perfume, cologne and music, affectionate nicknames for one another, and how long they’ve been a couple. The customized capers come in both huggy-kissy "mild" or sexy-seductive "wild" versions. There's even the option of adding the starring couple's photo to the book cover, and novels come in paperback or hardback, with eBook options, as well.

Depending on the title selected, the starring couple finds themselves skinny-dipping in the Caribbean, frolicking under a waterfall, making love none-too-easily in a swinging hammock, or encountering a pair of vampires. And, because these novels are adventure romances, the starring couple will also be chasing bad guys on wave runners, foiling a stalker on a luxury cruise ship, tangling with a cougar in the wild, fighting off bad guys near Rome’s Coliseum, confronting black pearl thieves in Tahiti or dodging poachers on an African safari.

About yournovel.com

YourNovel.com’s founders Kathy M. Newbern and J.S. Fletcher, who form the husband/wife writing team Fletcher Newbern, have been penning the novels since they met and fell in love in 1992. They've written 20 of the company's novels and have groomed new authors to expand the line-up.

ace and friends thoughts

I absolutely LOVE the idea behind YourNovel.com. The ability to make me and my hubby the stars of this novel was super exciting. Personalized always = fun! I am also a sucker for romance novels... so the personalization was an added bonus. The order process was super simple. The questionnaire took less than ten minutes to complete. The book then arrived about one week after I placed the order. It was a fun read and I also liked that you had the option to dedicate the book. Since you have the option of dedicating the book, this would make a great gift for your significant other or you could include details about another couple for a present to them. I think it would also be a unique and fun present for mom on Mother's Day.

So put Mom into the starring role she deserves. Remember when she gave you that kid’s book starring you? Time to return the favor!

In the course of her clinical career, Dr. Zand has seen many patients with problematic skin conditions that were many times irritated by various products on the market. She then committed herself in developing a skin therapy system that treats the skin's needs without disturbing the skin's balance.

Z Mei is the culmination of Dr. Zand's more than 20 years of experience in herbal and nuturitional healthcare, now applied to the science of skin renewal.

About Z Mei Skin Therapy System

I love that Z Mei offers the ability to purchase the entire Skin Beauty System at a reduced price as well as option to customize a kit to your own personal preference. I've been using the products daily for several weeks and it definitely made my skin feel and look smoother. I have sensitive skin and I am happy to report it did not irritate my skin. My favorite product so far... the Z Mei Purifying Facial Cleanser. It comes out in a light, frothy foam and smells a little like pina colada (can you say yum!). Overall, I was impressed how well these products performed, I can definitely see myself continuing on to use these products.
