Help Support our Troops and Sleep Better at The Same Time!

DMSD9800170 Members of a British Gurkha unit p...Image via Wikipedia
Hey All! I found out about a very easy way to help support some of our Troops in Afghanistan right now, and I thought I would share.  Please pass this information along to friends and family!

Ranging in six categories including Botanical, Wellness, Fresh, Aromatherapy, Exotic and Sensual, Sleep Scentsations™ is a line of patented adhesive-backed pillow liners that combine aromatherapy and “aromacology,” the belief that scents can induce moods or memories, to ensure an indulging sleep experience like no other (check out my previous blog post!)

If you don’t already know, The United Aromatherapy Effort, (UAE) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Charitable organization born out of the September 11th tragedy. The mission of UAE is to provide stress relief and aromatherapy to relief workers and troops during emergency work and afterwards. They collect and disseminate donated aromatherapy products to those affected by disaster or war in conjunction with chair massage and other natural therapies.

Historically they have responded to the World Trade Center Disaster, NY (2001), Florida Hurricanes (2004), the Gulf Coast affected by hurricanes Katrina and Rita (2005-6), and in 2007-8 the California wildfires and the Gulf Coast Hurricanes Gustav and Ike. Recently in 2009 they shifted their focus to the Military, both abroad and at home and are now supplying Soldiers on the Ground (Afghanistan) with donated aromatherapy supplies they then dissiminate to other soldiers.



A while ago, Sleep Scentsations shipped soldiers in Afghanistan some Snore RX and Cold RX. The response from the troops who used them was very positive, and they were extremely grateful that they could do a small part in making their lives just a little bit more comfortable. To read some of the responses they received from the soldiers click here.


THIS TIME AROUND THEY WANT TO GIVE THEIR CUSTOMERS AND FANS A CHANCE TO GET IN ON THE FUN TOO!


For every package of Sleep Scentsations YOU buy, TheraScent Products will match your purchase and by May 31st, 2010, they will donate a maximum of 8 bulk cases (480 liners in each case) on behalf of the ‘Sleep Scentsations Fan Club” to Soldiers stationed at Camp Phoenix in Kabul Afghanistan.

Along with each case, they will include a special thank you letter with your name included. (So if you buy 1 package of 8 liners, 8 liners will be donated to a soldier).

They would really love to reach 8 cases (3,840 liners) by MAY 31st! But they can’t do it alone! Please forward this message to your friends or anyone you think could use a little relaxation or stress- relief in their lives =)

As they receive orders they will keep their Fans updated with a count down to May 31st!

Remember Mother’s Day is May 9th, so why not get mom a Pleasant Dreams Collection and donate 10 liners to Troops Overseas at the same time!

Sleep Scentsations will introduce additional scents throughout the year (ideal for year ’round gift-giving), bringing home nature’s best scents, picked just for you.

Apple IPod Touch Deals

Ok this product isn't new to the market but the fact that you can get a DEAL or DISCOUNT on one, is amazing! I was very excited to see how affordable the Apple ipod Touch has gotten (because I was given one as a gift from an old boyfriend when it first came out and then had to give it back when we broke up) and I am excited I can buy one for myself and keep it forever! yay!

Apple iPod touch 8 GB (3rd Generation) NEWEST MODEL


So I just had to share these Apple iPod touch DEALS that are on Amazon.com right now.  You really don't realize how great having an ipod is until you have to give yours back! I loved having it at the gym, riding on the train, or just traveling passenger in a long car ride.  What I think makes the iPod Touch special, is the fact that it stores 1,750 songs and10,000 photos.  I really liked being able to connect to the internet and browse websites too.  But most importantly is its size.  I could never have one of those mini mp3 players because I know for a fact that I would lose it, and you really can't see anything on that mini teeny tiny screen!   Yes, this is a case where bigger is better!




I just overall loved how easy it was to use and navigate and I am so happy to have my baby back again!

Kindle Deals! What is a Kindle?

Do you miss the days when your mom or dad use to read to you before you went to bed?  I know I do! Especially since I am on the computer reading all day. I also miss someone reading to me when I am sitting in a car for hours driving which means my eyes have to remain on the road.   

There are some times where I would love to read a really good book about something funny or romantic and NON work-related, without passing out because my eyes are so tired. And I am not going to lie, I am way too lazy to go into a bookstore.  No IDEA why!

How to Get Back At Your Ex Without Going to Jail

This world can be a pretty rough place especially when it comes to serious romantic relationships.  I'm sure almost everyone (including myself) has at one point been cheated on or done wrong by an ex boyfriend or girlfriend.  It's unfortunate, but extremely common!

I too also know the feeling of wanting to KILL that person, which thankfully goes away with time.  Unfortunately it takes a LONG time to get over the feelings of distrust, sadness, and the feeling that love can be a beautiful thing. 

I happend to come across this product on Amazon.com that I thought was funny but a little bit disturbing at the same time:
















This product comes in a variety of colors to match your kitchen decor.  While it might be therapeutic to use this product like a "voo doo" doll and stab your Ex 5 times everything the dishwasher is clean, but wouldn't it also REMIND you of all of the horrible things your Ex did to you on a daily basis?  Who knows, but atleast you can get some of that anger out without getting arrested!

How To Protect Yourself From Identity Theft

When it comes to identity theft, the better you look on paper, the more likely you are to be targeted by people with bad intentions. There is an endless amount of ways for a thief to steal your identity; and it all starts with the thief's ability to get access to certain key pieces of information that belong to you. Here's just a few things the thief is looking for:
  • Your Social Security Card
  • Your Driver's License 
  • Your Account Numbers, Pins and Passwords
But for those of you who have never encountered such an evil person might wonder, besides stealing your wallet or purse or hacking your computer, how can someone do this to you?

In this world, the answers to that question vary from obvious to the very unusual. Here are just a couple of the sources a thief may go to obtain your personal information:
  • Your trash. Because people find it hard to believe that anyone would want to go through garbage cans, they throw away things like unsolicited credit card applications, old bills, expired credit cards, unused checking account deposit slips and countless other papers. So, for the identity thief, "dumpster diving" can provide a rich collection of personal information that can be used to become you.  
  •  Your mailbox. In the wrong hands, your incoming mail can be a the jackpot spot for information about you. A bill from your credit card company, a statement from your checking account, an unsolicited offer of a new, pre-approved credit card (complete with application). And your outgoing mail may include personal checks you are sending to pay bills (containing your routing and checking account numbers). If you don't have a locked mailbox for incoming and outgoing mail, you are vulnerable.  
There is actually a fairly new product out to reduce your vulnerabilities and trick those "dumpster divers" called The Kes'pon ID Guard Stamp.



This product stamps a unique pattern to mask your private and confidential information.


This is a very easy and affordable alternative to buying expensive and bulky shredders. It is available in a 2.75×1-inch version for $19.99 or a smaller 1.5×0.5-inch version for $9.99 in a multitude of fun colors!

Now its ok to bring your old magazines to the gym and leave them behind, all you have to do is stamp them! In a world where thiefs are getting smarter, we need to get smarter about protecting ourselves and The Kes'pon Id Guard Stamp makes it that much easier!
