The Samsung Chef Collection #MasterYourHome

August 4, 2014 by Stefani Tolson 32 Comments

This is a partnered post with Mom Select for Samsung. All opinions are my own.

During Blogher ’14 last month I was able to see some of the NEW products from Samsung. In the Samsung booth was their CHEF Collection that has been inspired by professional chefs. I was given a tour of the Samsung booth and learned some cool facts about these cool new appliances.

The Chef Collection is the next generation of kitchen appliances that have been designed to provide you with a whole new level of kitchen experience from preparation to sharing. Since I enjoy cooking and wish sometimes wish I had the skills of a chef, this collection is definitely on my wants list!

The fridge…

The Chef Collection Refrigerator is the LARGEST fridge in its class that can hold up to 34 bags of groceries. This bad boy is equipped with steel paneling that helps provide a consistent temperature throughout the refrigerator. It also has a triple cooling feature that includes two compressors and three evaporators that work to control the temperature and humidity which results in your food staying fresh longer!

The oven…

The Chef Collection Slide-in Electric Range lets you cook two things at once. This oven has been designed with the Flex Duo technology that gives you control with upper and lower cooking zones that can be used independently or together.

The dishwasher…

The Chef Collection Dishwasher has been designed with the WaterWall Technology that uses a powerful sweeping wall of water to leave dishes remarkably clean. You will also find the Zone Booster wash setting that offers controllable intensive washing at the touch of a button. My favorite part of this dishwasher is the Third Rack with FlexTray, a bendable silverware tray that provides for easy loading and unloading.

While at the booth I also seen the Samsung Chef Collection Over-the-range oven, one of their Food Showcase Refrigerators and some handy Samsung vacuum cleaners. I am really amazed at how technology has changed with just the simple things in life like the appliances we use in our home.

I know one thing, I really WANT the Chef Collection Refrigerator! I forgot to mention that you can dispense sparkling water from this fridge too! If you open the fridge door you will find a SodaStream 60L Carbonator that helps to ensure that you’ll be drinking the purest and most refreshing sparkling water.

The Samsung booth also had a video booth where you could share what you would do if you had the Chef Collection. Here is what I had to say..

What would you do if you owned the Samsung Chef Collection?

Back To School With Master Lock, Photo Hunt Challenge

August 3, 2014 by Stefani Tolson 27 Comments

This is a partnered post with Global Influence and all thoughts are my own.

The summer has really flew by FAST. In less than 2 weeks my kids are starting the new school year. This means back to school shopping time for mom. I got a head start on our shopping this year but there are still some school supplies I need to buy. The new clothes and shoes have been bought but we are waiting on the lists from our children’s teachers to get them everything they will need to get the new year off to a good start.

I know that I am looking forward to going back to our daily “school routine”. Did you know that nearly one third of North Americans agree that a return to routine is their favorite part of the back-to-school season? Consumers’ second favorite back-to-school activity is shopping. (Surveys conducted by Survey Monkey in May 2014 among Americans representative of a National U.S. Census)

For those looking to buy new locks, I always go with a lock from Master Lock. When it comes to protecting your valuables, you don’t want to use a cheap lock that can break easily. I believe it is worth it to pay the extra cost on a heavy duty lock, especially if you are locking up something like a laptop, iPad or tablet. Master Lock has came out with a new lock out that my daughter Hailey will be using this year, the Master Lock 1500eDBX dialSpeed Digital Combination Lock. I think this is one of the coolest combinations locks I have seen yet!

This lock offers ultrafast entry and features and electronic light-up keypad. No more spinning your combo lock to left and right. What is neat about this lock is you can save and receive your combo code from MasterLockVault.com so that you never forget your combo again! I wish they would have had these locks when I was in junior high and high school. I like that these locks light up and I also like that you can set combinations for 2 guests too!

Now through September 7, 2014 you can participate in the Master Lock Photo Hunt Challenge. This is an online interactive game that offers players a chance to view the many products that Master Lock that can protect their belongings while also having the chance to WIN fun Master Lock products and other prizes. The game features two similar back-to-school images and asks players to spot the differences before the time runs out.

Master Lock happens to be the world’s LARGEST manufacturer of padlocks and other related security products for the automobile, home, school, power sports and more. Master Lock offers a wide range of products that are perfect for your back to school shopping needs including padlocks for your children’s lockers, laptop locks and even locks for their backpacks.

JAWS Just Add Water System Review & Giveaway

July 16, 2014 by Stefani Tolson 13 Comments

For the last decade I have been using eco-friendly cleaners. When I was pregnant with my second child I learned about the dangers of all the harmful ingredients in some of the products I was currently using and decided to make a change. Once in a blue moon I may use something that is poisonous like a bleach pen to get out a stain but for the most part I am pretty eco-friendly when it comes to the cleaning products I use and keep stored in my house.

This last month I have been using the JAWS – Just Add Water System Complete Home Cleaning Kit that I received to review. This is a refillable and reusable way to clean that is EASY to use, non-toxic and eco-friendly.The JAWS Cleaning Kit includes 4 bottles that have each have different uses to make sure you get those cleaning duties done that include:

Multi-Purpose
Glass & Hard Surface
Disinfectant Cleaner Degreaser
Bathroom

Using the JAWS Cleaners is easy. You simply add water to the line you will find on the back of the bottle. Pop in a Just Add Water refill cartridge. Twist your Just Add Water sprayer back on, move the bottle around and you are ready to go!

If you are asking if eco-friendly cleaning products work, they work for me. I haven’t used them on any real hard cleaning jobs but they do well with just regular everyday cleaning in the kitchen and bathroom.

10 Reasons To Have A Bottle Of The WonderBottle

July 11, 2014 by Stefani Tolson 8 Comments

I remember years ago when I was young and got my first apartment I thought I was going to need an ironing board. My grandparents had an iron and ironing board and so did my mom. My mom would use the iron when she needed to iron her blouses for work. I didn’t do well with irons but still thought I would need one just in case. Well I can tell you that I haven’t used an iron in about 20 years. I even donated the two that I had a couple months ago because they get no use.

If something of mine has wrinkles, I look for other ways to get those wrinkles out. Like using the Downy Wrinkle Release Plus. Not only does this #wonderbottle help to get wrinkles out of your clothes, there are lots of other helpful uses for this stuff.

Here are 10 reasons that you should have a bottle of the #wonderbottle at your house and maybe even in your purse:

It helps remove WRINKLES from clothes in minutes without ironing.
The #wonderbottle helps to remove creases from pillowcases and bedsheets.
Use a little to smooth out your drapery or tablecloths.
Spray some some of the Downy Wrinkle Releaser to remove odorss.
Use it on your furniture to freshen it up.
Spray a little #wonderbottle on your child car seat to freshen it up too!
Forget to use fabric softener, spray some #wonderbottle to helpwith static cling.
Forget the laundry in the dryer overnight, use the #wonderbottle!
When traveling take a small bottle, it is the perfect travel size.
It is of course used as a great aid when ironing and is better than using water without the residue of starch.

These are just some of the ways that you can use the Downy Wrinkle Releaser Plus. For more ideas on how to use the #wonderbottle visit: https://www.downywrinklereleaserplus.com/101-uses/

Do you use the #wonderbottle at your home? Feel free to leave a comment and share what you use it for…

Jord Delmar Series Wood Watch Review & Giveaway #JORDWATCH

July 11, 2014 by Stefani Tolson 42 Comments

When it comes to my husband and jewelry, he likes his watches. A couple years ago I bought him a watch box, one of those neat jewelry boxes just for people who have more than one watch. When it comes to furniture my husband prefers wood. I thought it was pretty neat when I heard about a company that sells wood watches.

I was asked if I wanted to review one of these wood watches from Jord and I was excited. I couldn’t wait to show my husband that a company made watches with wood. As soon as I showed him the watches on the website he was excited too.

We received the Delmar series watch from Jord in white wood option. Out of the different styles of Jord watches on the site, this watch was one of my favorites as well as the color. This watch is also available in other wood options as well as face colors like green, blue, red and bamboo.

Delmar Jord Watch

One of my favorite features of this Delmar watch is the carbon fiber face. You can find the Delmar watch with a red, blue and green carbon fiber face too for those who want a watch with some color.

As soon as my husband started wearing the watch he started getting compliments from friends and then others in public. At least a half dozen people have already asked about the watch and where he got it.

Here are the features of the Jord Delmar Series:

Hardened, Scratch-proof glass face: 30mm x 36mm
Wood frame / bezel: 51mm x 46mm
Band width: 37mm – 26mm (transition design)
Lug ends: 47mm
Carbon fiber face
Double action locking clasp (stainless steel)
Premium Citizen Miyota movement
Includes stained bamboo display box

This is also just one style of watch at Jord. They also have a variety of other styles for those that like a smaller watch or maybe a rounder face. On their site I found a page full of people sharing their Jord watches using the #JORDWATCH hashtag. I seen some women with these watches on which makes me want one of these watches for myself, but in a different style. I think the bamboo watches are pretty neat.
