JOLA case Review

I received the green JOLA case for my Samsung Galaxy S5 for free for my honest unbiased review. I love the fact that it came with a screen cover to help protect my screen against scratches and cracks. Having a young child at home, my phone often gets dropped and played with. The green is a pretty bright green and the edges are rubber with a carbon fiber look in the middle of the case. The rubber like material on the side helps with holding the phone.

Maybelline Better Skin Challenge

For the past three weeks I have been taking the Maybelline Better Skin Challenge. 

When my VoxBox arrived I was so excited. The color was much too light for my face, but I just corrected that by adding darker powder and bronzer. Having rosacea and always having redness of my face, I quickly learned that this foundation wasn't for me. Unless I wanted to add several layers of the foundation, my redness still showed through. I was able to use concealer first and then this make up and the redness wasn't as visible. I did notice a difference in my complexion though. I haven't had any breakouts and my face just looks and feels great.

Disney Movie Club

For the past 3 years, since my daughter was born, I have been contemplating joining the Disney Movie Rewards Club. I figured there had to be a catch. Why would Disney want to give movies away? So my mom, being the awesome mom and grandma that she is, signed my daughter up for the club. I just want to say that thus far, it is AWESOME!

You have the option of buying up to 7 movies the first time with FREE shipping. The first movie you pay $11.95 the second $8.95 and the rest just $0.20. Plus by using the code 30058 or 30161 we got a FREE Olaf blanket. (The blanket is thin, but perfect to keep in the car) You also get 100 Disney points per DVD, plus some of the DVDs are the 2 movie set. Like Mulan/Mulan 2. I was able to order a FREE Tinkerbell movie through the Disney Rewards Club with my points I received from these movies. The catch is, you have to buy at least 5 movies at regular price within 2 years. Shipping is only $3.95 for one movie and $1.95 for each additional movie. Note- this is not counting the first 7 movies you get to buy with FREE shipping!  Right after we got our first shipment of goodies in we got an email saying we can pre-order the new Tinkerbell DVD/Blueray/Digital Copy and it will count towards the regular price movie we need to buy. We pre-ordered it and Maleficent. Talk about cheap Christmas presents for my Disney loving daughter (and myself)   

Just click here to start your Disney Movie Collection. Don't forget to look up promo codes for FREE items! I think they are doing a FREE frozen lunchbox when you sign up now!
