When it comes to being a female, there are things that are NOT so fun. Having a monthly period is definitely on my top of things I don’t like.

But wearing uncomfortable bras would probably be #2nd on my list!

I have been wearing bras for over 20 years and have went through my fair share of bras that were a waste of money. I prefer to wear underwire bras for the support, but I really do HATE them. If I buy a cheap underwire  bra, my chances that the wire coming out only a week later is pretty darn good. I will usually buy  the higher quality and more expensive bras that have good support so I don’t have to get mad when I have to throw the bra away a week later when the wire pops out.

This past couple weeks I have been wearing the Genie Bra that you might have seen advertised on TV before. This is a bra that has NO wires and is definitely more comfortable than the current bras I have. This is a bra that I definitely prefer to wear around the house. This is also a bra that I enjoy exercising in.

This isn’t a bra that I would want to wear on a hot date though. When I put the Genie bra on and showed my husband, he made a comment that it looked liked my boobs looked a little smaller. I just laughed!

I also received 3 pairs of the  Slim and Tone Leggings by Genie. These are those stretchy type leggings that have been made to help hold you in!

I received a pair of the brown, gray and brown leggings to try. For me I would only wear these in the house or under other pants to make me look slimmer. They are a little snug when you put them on, but I think that is how they work to make you look skinnier. When I put them on and went into the living room, my son gave me a funny look. I don’t normally wear leggings, so I guess he thought they looked funny on me.

Slim & Tone Leggings combine the style of a traditional legging with the compression and slim-wear control of a body shaper. The fabric is seamless, designed to conceal cellulite, and provides 5 zone comfort of invisible support over problem spots. The waist can be worn high or low and provides extra tummy support.

I like both of these Genie products!

For those looking for a comfortable bra, I suggest trying a Genie Bra too! You can find Genie Bra on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/OfficialGenieBra

When it comes to my iPad I tend to not want to share it. I will let my husband use it when he wants to look online for something, but I can’t really tell him no when he is the one that bought it for me. I am cautious when it comes to my kids using it. I have tile floors throughout my house and there has been one too many accidents when it comes to dropping and breaking things around here.

If it wasn’t for this fun game Spellshot by Zapped, my kids probably wouldn’t get to touch my iPad. The last few months I have been having fun playing the SpellShot game with my daughters. When I first got the game and seen the cute figurines inside the package, I had a feeling it might be something that was going to be fun. On the front of the package it says that you can “Choose From 4 Wizards” which had me interested. I have always been interested in wizards, they are magical!

This is a FUN  game for the iPad where you can cast spells on your opponent through magical worlds.  Once you purchase the game, to play you have to download the free Spellshot app from the AppStore to your iPad. When you have the app installed your iPad will recognize the Wizard that you choose and allow you to create battle spells. Each of the 4 wizards have different Basic Spells and Advanced Spells that you can use in the game to win!

Each wizard comes with it’s own card to show you what moves to use to cast your spell. You can choose from Breezicus, Stormica, Noxius and Landor. My favorite are the two blue wizards, the Air Wizard and the Water Wizard.

This is one game that I enjoy playing with my daughter Hannah who is 8. My 13 year old daughter also enjoys this game, so if I don’t want to play the girls can have fun and play together! I do like board games, but I honestly think these Hasbro games on my iPad are fun too!

This is just one of the fun games from Hasbro for your iPad. To find out more about this game and other fun family game night games, visit: https://www.HasbroToyShop.com

If you are on Facebook, you probably have noticed the little birthday reminders at the top of the screen. I always try to visit each of those in my reminders to leave them a little note on their wall wishing them a Happy Birthday. For those that are just more than “Facebook Friends”, I often want to maybe send more than just a little message.

I recently downloaded the GiftGiv iPhone app that can make it very handy to send cards or gifts to your Facebook  and LinkedIn friends within minutes using your iPhone. When you install the app, you sync it with your social media networks so that can pull the information from your friend’s profiles into the app.

Once you have the app installed and open it, you will be brought to a screen that shows your “All Upcoming” which is recent and upcoming birthday’s as well as those that you can send a congratulations to or maybe even a thank you card. You can of course swipe your screen to view just “Birthdays” or “Events to celebrate” if you don’t want to view them all.

Once you see a person that you want to send a gift or card to, you simply select their name from the list. When you have selected the recipient, you will be brought to another menu where you can choose to send a card, gift card, chocolates, flowers, wine and more! In just the last week, I have seen an addition in the amount and types of gifts that you can send.

Once you have found the perfect gift that you want to send, simply select it from the list on your screen and get your credit card ready to make payment. While purchasing the gift you have the option to select a specific date for the gift to arrive as well as enter a personal message. If you have the recipient’s address that will come in handy, but not needed as you can have the app send them an email or text message requesting their address so to receive their gift.

With this handy app you can get a list of your contact’s events that are both expected and unexpected. Even if you don’t want to send a gift, you can still use the app to check on birthdays and such.  No need to keep track of your contact’s info on calendars, you can use this app to find it all in one place and send them a little something while your at it.

The GiftGiv  iTunes app is:

• Compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad.
• Requires iOS 5.0 or later.
