Have you visited 1 of the new 35 full-line Microsoft retail stores with theaters or 31 Microsoft specialty stores throughout the United States? No?! You are missing a completely new shopping experience that I discovered as a guest of Microsoft and The Motherhood. Microsoft, the technology giant, who has brought us computers, computer software and the latest in consumer electronics have been opening new retail stores across the country. These stores not only allow you to experience new products it’s is also a learning haven where you can ask all your technology questions or just play your favorite XBOX 360 game. Check out these pictures of my local Danbury, CT Microsoft Store. What really stood out to me as I toured the store was how large it was and how it was wall-to-wall technology products that showcased Microsoft’s operating … [Read more...]

Images courtesy of Aveeno® Update! This giveaway is closed congrats to Gianna. Disclosure: Aveeno® is sponsoring this giveaway and provided me with a similar prize pack. As always my post is my unbiased opinions. One of the downsides of getting older is seeing your once beautiful and low maintenance skin turn into a total drama queen so it matches the rest of your personality. ; ) For me, one of my biggest skin challenges is brown spots and dullness. I love love love the sun but sadly years of bad bad bad exposure are starting to catch up with me. The skin is the largest organ of the body and unfortunately lately my skin has started to rebel from poor treatment. Good thing Aveeno® Active Naturals has come out with their Aveeno® Positively Radiant Collection.

(Video) Aveeno Active Natural Hair Products

March 26, 2013 by Eddy 95 Comments

Update! This giveaway is closed congrats to Rosanne. Disclaimer: We received the Aveeno prize pack which includes the Aveeno Active Natural Hair Product line to review. The Giveaway is sponsored by Aveeno. As you can see from our photos in the Dancing Hotdogs website, I have beautiful locks of mahogany colored hair. I try to keep it short or I would honestly not be able to walk anywhere without being mobbed, it just wouldn’t be fair to Divina and the boys. With that said, having short hair doesn’t mean I don’t care about it. Guys usually get a bad rap about our hair either we care too little or too much, and in both case we tend to put in too much chemicals from gel to shampoo; no wonder they call it “MALE” pattern baldness. Fortunately, there are a couple of products that get the job done but take advantage of natural ingredients, like Aveeno Active Naturals Shampoos and conditioners. The Active Natural line provides clean hair along … [Read more...]

(Video) Downy Unstopables and Downy Infusions Giveaway Sweepstakes

March 6, 2013 by Divina Rodriguez 210 Comments

Update! This giveaway is closed congrats to Nicole the winner. Let’s face it there really is not anything sexy or fun about doing laundry but it is a necessity especially with a house full of wild boys. When my little men were babies they had severely sensitive skin so everything in the house had to be natural, scent-free and hypo allergic but now that they are older we are enjoying great products like Downy Unstopables and Downy Infusions. Check out our video. After using the Downy products our clothes were soft with a wonderful floral scent. Downy Unstopables, an in-wash scent booster, goes beyond everyday freshness to keep your clothes smelling “wow” right up until the next wash. All you do is shake a little or a lot of the beads into your washing machine, depending on your passion for scent! The Downy Unstopables and Downy Infusions come in several scent tones like Floral, Rich & Creamy, Airy Fresh, Modern Exotic and Scent Twist. I love fresh … [Read more...]
