Dweebies Card Game from Gamewright Games!

Dweebies Card Game from Gamewright!

Meet the Dweebies™ in the card game with character. These lovably colorful characters are out to capture your heart, but you must capture them first! Round up Dweebies by matching cards on both ends of any row. Seems simple at first... but Dweebies can be tricky, and some will disappear before they've met their match. Collect the most cards and consider yourself the Dweebie-in-Chief. Includes 54 cards!

All 4 of my kids loved this game!  My oldest two loved it because of the strategy and luck involved in it!  My youngest two love it because the characters on the cards are ADORABLE!!!  When my older children were finished playing, my younger two flipped the card over for a game of memory! 

As a parent, I recommend this game, because the Dweebie characters will keep you smiling, and keep the mood light, even if one of your kids isn't the winner of the game!  It comes packed in a great looking tin, that is easy to travel with.  We're going to the beach soon, and you can bet the Dweebies will be coming along!

One eskimO "All Balloons Album

I was so excited to be chosen to review the One eskimO album "All Balloons!"

One eskimO is a critically-acclaimed English band fronted by singer-songwriter Kristian Leontiou and includes musicians Pete Rinaldi (guitar), Jamie Sefton (bass, horns) and Adam Falkner (drums).


They currently have the #1 adult alternative song called 'Kandi' which you may have already heard since it's the most played song on all adult rock radio 4 weeks and counting!  Billboard Magazine calls One eskimO's self-titled debut album "...catchy, ambient pop." and Los Angeles Times Magazine hails the song "Kandi" “a beautiful, aspirational track.” The album is available in stores now.   Watch the amazing Kandi video now!



The album release comes in tandem with a full length animated film. “Hometime”, one of the tracks that an animated short was first done with proved to be quite a sensation. It received numerous honors at film festivals around the world, as well as a 2008 British Animation Award.

My opinion on the album...
I LOVE quite a few songs on this CD.  Astronauts, WHICH YOU CAN DOWNLOAD FOR FREE HERE, is amazing.  It is bathtime music for me.  It just takes you away.  Kandi is the funnest, funkiest, jazziest, sassiest song I can think of at the moment.  And I can truely say there are NO SONGS on this CD I don't enjoy!!

The listing of tracks on this CD are:

• Hometime
• Astronauts
• Kandi
• Slip
• Simple Day
• Givin Up
• Chocolate
• All Balloons
• Chosen One
• UFO
• Amazing

Bella Sara Review!

Bella Sara Cards!
Have you seen the lastest from the world of Bella Sara?

Just in time for Easter, Bella Sara had introduced its new Sunflowers series of collectible cards!
This new series from Bella Sara invites fans to join Emma and friends in a captivating search for Herd Sunflower. Using secret codes found in the set of 55 collectible cards, featuring horses, characters and stories, girls will be able to unlock the exciting Sunflowers adventures and experience the new features of the mesmerizing online world, including the ability to customize their own avatar on BellaSara.com.


To coincide with this event, Bella Sara also introduced the Miniatures Series 3 set. Featuring 20 new velvety figurine horses, the Miniatures set includes a secret code in each pack to expand online play through Bella Sara Adventures.

Bella Sara has sent me multiple packs in the past, and each time, my daughters jump with joy!  Bella Sara is one of their favorite computer games, and their absolute FAVORITE collectible.  We have bought at least 20 packs of Bella Sara cards in the past.  They are the perfect treat, because they add to your daughter's collection, yet they are VERY affordable.  Most packs are less than $5!  My daughters trade them, share them, and display them in baseball card protectors in a 3-ring binder. 

If you're not familiar with Bella Sara yet, you can buy these cards at Target stores, online, at card collector stores, and more.  The cards have gorgeous horses on them, and coincide with an online game.  The game has constant positive messages on the screen such as, "Beauty comes from within" or "Be the hero in your own story."  Each card contains a secret code to unlock a new horse for online play!  The online game is lots of fun!  It is a very secure place for your child to play online.

Here is a screen shot of the Bella Sara game:

One lucky reader of Mingle Over Mocha will win a Sunflowers pack of their own, along with a Bella Sara Mini!

MagnaPods!

If you’re like me, you have a million cosmetic tools (most of which you never use!) in your cabinet.  You’ve tried organizing them 100 times.  You’ve tried boxes, bags, rubber bands, drawers, shelves and buckets… all to no avail.  Each time you open your cabinet or closet, you’re attacked by something new.
My dear friends in disorder, meet MagnaPods.


MagnaPods was specifically created for those of us who have too much “stuff” and not enough places to store it!  I was given the following:
MagnaPods Steel Sheet for Wood and Metal Cabinets
A MagnaPods Cosmetic Organizer (Adjustable Dividers)
MagnaPods Cosmetic Organizer (Fixed Dividers)
and a
MagnaPods Tooth Brush Holder
The things I love the most about this product are:

• MagnaPods are up and ready to use in seconds.  Literally.
• You simply remove the metal sheet from the packaging, stick it on the inside of your cabinet, and you’re ready to roll!
• The magnets in the organizers are very strong!  They held my heaviest items, and didn’t even slide on the metal sheet. 
• The plastic organizers are very sturdy!  I’m rough on things, and I haven’t hurt them yet!  :)
• The plastic organizers are movable- perfect for fickle people like me!
• They are VERY affordable!
• They ship quickly, so if you are in organizing mode, you won’t lose your momentum by the time they arrive!
• The customer service is fast to respond!!
• There are SO many uses for this product.  See below for some of my ideas!

MagnaPods were designed to hold your lipstick, cosmetic brushes, applicators, etc, and always keep them within easy reach.

I also used them to hold items that need to be kept out of a child’s reach, such as medical bulbs, scissors, an Epipen, medicines, etc!

In this view, you can see that I have used it to help organize permanent markers, razors, etc!  You definitely don’t want your toddler getting hold of those!

I adore my craft room as well.  I think this product would be GREAT in a craft room or office space.  Besides being able to hold scissors and pens, as pictured above, I would love to store craft items such as threads, buttons, pins, cutters, stamps, glues, hot glue sticks, etc in the MagnaPod!
MagnaPods is giving away a gift certificate to their store!

Kismet Bourtique Giveaway!

BOUTIQUE KISMET!

The PERFECT solution for your Mother's Day gift stress!!!

Boutique Kismet is a fabulous jewelry store on Etsy.  Stephanie, the creator, has an eye and a talent for unusual and attractive combinations.  The jewelry in her Etsy store is truly one of a kind.  I have also found that her creations are quick to become conversation pieces when worn in public!

Boutique Kismet sent me the Denise Bracelet in Pink to review!  Take a look at this gorgeous piece of jewelry!!

Isn't it amazing?  It looks INCREDIBLE with a black dress!!

The things I love most about this bracelet are:

• 
  
  How well it's made!  Let's be frank.  Many pieces of homemade jewelry are not well made at all.  Often, I've bought a piece of jewelry from a friend, just to have it fall apart days later.  This is not the case with Kismet Jewelry.  I have worn this piece almost every day since it arrived, and it is as strong as day 1!  In truth, my 3 year old has snagged it off my vanity more times than I can count... and it's still holding strong!
• 
  
  The design!  The colors are an amazing combination.  The spacers are perfectly placed, and the beads are of great quality!
• 
  
  The closure.  The clasp is easy to close, yet it fits perfectly with the design of the bracelet!  I find it annoying when a homemade bracelet has a cheap clasp, or one that is impossible to hook, just to make it "work with the bracelet."  Kismet went out on a limb to combine functionality with design!
• 
  
  The comfort!  This is really a comfortable bracelet!  It's not too heavy, and it lays comfortably on your wrist.  It's not wiry or stiff, so it moves with you.

I plan to order some more jewelry from Kismet Boutique.  I strongly suggest you check out her store and do the same!  My current favorite costume earrings cost $25 at Target.  My favorites on the Kismet Boutique site are $12!!  I would pay that all day long to get a homemade, quality piece of jewelry!!  Wouldn't you??

Would you love to WIN a new piece of jewelry created by Kismet Boutique?? YEAH you would!
