Mighty Mendit and Mighty Putty

Mighty Putty Logo

I recently able to try two great products! One was Mighty Putty, a versatile product that anyone can use. A powerful bonding epoxy stick, when mixed properly to a white color and allowed to fully cure for up to 24 hours, Mighty Putty can repair almost anything. It can help stop leaks, fix broken ceramics, or even hang a shelf. Mighty Putty can be painted, sanded, machined, tapped or drilled when fully cured. Mighty Putty bonds and repairs almost any surface, including: Metal, Glass, PVC, Wood, Wall Board, Ceramics, Tile, Concrete, and more!

Mighty Mendit Logo

The other was Mighty Mendit which is not a glue, but a flexible bonding agent, that grabs, adheres and interlocks the fibers of virtually any fabric for a permanent repair. Just apply, gently touch, and mend shirts, pants, purses and belts without removing them.

These products are great for:

-DIY home improvement projects

-Easy way to save money on repairs

-On the go fashion fix

-The perfect gift for the holidays

-A great tool in your crafting kit

-Always needed while traveling

I used the Mighty Mendit on a pair of capris that rolled up but the seam had come undone on one leg. It was great fix since I don't have the time to fix it at college! I used the Mighty Putty on a coffee mug. The handle was broken, but I used the putty to keep it on it!

Both products are handy to keep around the house and dorm!

Weight Watchers Review and Giveaway

Weight Watchers Logo

I'm sure everyone has heard of Weight Watchers brand foods. However, I'm not referring to the program in this case, the food - Weight Watchers makes a variety of foods available on grocery store shelves. You've probably walked past them often or maybe you even know this brand.

Well, I was able to try their bagels, cream cheese, yogurt and snack! I must say these were really good! They bagels tasted just like regular bagels! For the first couple weeks back at college I enjoyed a cream cheese bagel for breakfast... it was delicious! I couldn't tell a difference between these and other brands!

I really liked the chocolate snack I was able to pick! It was really rich and wonderful! I actually stuck them in my refrigerator to keep the chocolate from melting (there's no air conditioning in my dorm) and they tasted really good cold! It was a great thing to come back to after class when I was hot from the long walk across campus!

My favorite product was the yogurts! I've been a fan of strawberry banana yogurt for years. I was surprised that these yogurt are still only one point and only 100 calories, yet they tasted much better than other yogurts like it that I've tried! I'm serious, it's sweet and amazing!

WIN! THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!

I'm allowed to give a coupon for some free Weight Watchers yogurt to 6, yes SIX, lucky Laughing Lindsay readers!

To enter: Go to Weight Watchers and tell me which flavor of yogurt you would get!

Hypnogaja Review

Hypnogaja All Access Magazine Cover

Outburn magazine describes them as "enthralling, first-rate modern rock," Apple.com as "soulful rock with a subtle electronic backdrop" and the Denver Post as music that "pushes boundaries," Hypnogaja writes and performs "melodic, sophisticated songs that cater to no trend” according to GRAMMY®-nominated songwriter Wendy Waldman (Garth Brooks, Vanessa Williams), producer of the band’s critically acclaimed album, Acoustic Sunset – Live at the Longhouse.

Truth Decay, Hypnogaja’s fifth studio recording, is a science fiction-tinged concept album in which all the songs revolve around the central story of a world's dramatic, apocalyptic end and how life cycles into new chapters, sometimes with sudden force. The album contains thirteen new songs, including "Welcome to the Future," which features cellist Richard Dodd of The Section Quartet (Decca/Universal).

They have been featured on several shows, such as: America’s Next Top Model (CW), Carrie (NBC), Cold Creek Manor (Touchstone), Dirt (F/X), FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage (Warner Bros. Interactive), Las Vegas (NBC), One Life To Live (ABC), Roswell (WB), Sex And The City (HBO), The Looking Glass Wars (Scholastic), Tru Calling (FOX), Valentine (Warner Bros.), and many others. The band’s song “Dark Star” (from Truth Decay) is featured in an upcoming episode of the critically acclaimed Starz original TV series, Crash, based on the Oscar™-winning motion picture. They have also toured nationally with Shinedown, Saliva and 311!

Hypnogaja is a new band to me. However, I really like them! I received their cd Truth Decay and think it's awesome! I can put the cd on and just listen to it for a while, it's got a nice feeling beat-wise. I also think the concept for it is a unique/interesting approach. I really like the first song, Dark Star! I also enjoy Apocalyptic Love Song, with its slow beginning and cool sound. I'm putting the Dark Star song from their Youtube for you to check them out!

BSAT Official Study Guide Review

BSAT Official Study Guide Book

"None of this information is useful, and very little of it relates to a student’s real life. Provocative math problems should help one decide the percentage of dateable guys in a college dorm; crazy word problems can show a graduate how to be creative in drafting their resume without actually lying; and snarky analogies are to tests what humor is to readers!

Endorsed by no one, accepted everywhere it is, the downright dirty and completely useless B.S.A.T. represents both the fun missing from the standardized tests and the best time-waster that doesn’t need a dial-up connection!"

Having been a junior/senior in high school, taken the SAT, and had an SAT prep class I was excited to see this book. It takes SAT type questions and makes them fun! I appreciate the fact that someone else realizes how boring the SAT is. Not to mention, you don't need to know much of the stuff on it! You'll be happy to know that you CAN learn something from this book! It can build your vocabulary!

They also have a website called BSAT World that even has a question of the day (like the SAT's)! Today's question is about Gossip Girl! "Blair Waldorf's closet contains 200 dresses, 100 tops, 50 skirts and 75 pairs of shoes. In theory, how many different outfits could she put together?" Check it out to see if you can get it right, I did!

Purchase the BSAT Study Guide on Amazon and

America's Most Wanted Recipes Taste Test

America's Most Wanted Recipes Book

America's Most Wanted Recipes: Delicious Recipes From Your Family's Favorite Restaurants


By: Ron Douglas


Wouldn't it be nice if you could treat yourself to dishes from your favorite restaurants anytime? In America's Most Wanted Recipes, Ron Douglas reveals copycat versions of carefully guarded secret restaurant recipes and shows the reader how to make them at home. This saves us time and money.

This past weekend I made the Applebee's Crispy Orange Chicken Skillet recipe with my boyfriend. I must admit gathering the ingredients was a bit of an adventure. We went to our local Wal-mart but couldn't find any hoisin sauce! Then, we looked up a recipe on my phone for it. However, that required a long list of ingredients. To make a long story short, we had to go to Food Lion to get the sauce and return some ingredients to Wal-mart.



The hardest part of actually making the chicken was frying the chicken! We actually smoked up the house trying to fry it! However, it was well worth it! This orange chicken was wonderful! My boyfriend's mother said that it was even BETTER than Applebee's version! My boyfriend's father asked if there was more. I believe we'll be trying more recipes in the future!

a bottle of the Movie Theatre Butter flavored Popping and Topping Oil; and our their new butter flavored Popcorn Spritzer which is ideal for helping popcorn seasoning stick to air popped popcorn!

Kernel Season's Popcorn Spritzer


I used the Spritzer before putting on the flavors and it did indeed make it stick better! I loved the Kettle Corn, Chocolate Marshmallow, Butter, and Nacho Cheddar! I actually put all of the above on one bowl of popcorn and mixed it up! It was great to get a handful and not know what to expect! I also liked the Popping and Topping Oil on their kernels! It worked nicely!

Kernel Season's Popcorn Pouch

Once I read the suggestions on the tops of the seasoning bottles, I was inspired to try something new! I love to have a bagel for breakfast with some melted butter! After seeing the Apple Cinnamon I knew what would be great! I melted the butter on my bagel and then applied some of the Apple Cinnamon. Oh my gosh! It's great! I love it! I have been eating Apple Cinnamon on my bagels for days now! It's delicious! I can't wait to try more flavors on other things!

Organix Hair Products Review

Pomegranate Organix Shampoo and Conditioner

I was recently able to try some Organix hair products! I tried some wonderful shampoo and conditioner from them that smelled terrific! It also made my hair feel great! I was also lucky enough to get some styling products to try!

Featuring a formula with a fragrance that smells as fresh as just-picked fruit and feels as vital as energy-packed natural delicacies, the sulfate-free Organix® Pomegranate Green Tea collection is housed in eco-friendly bottles manufactured from materials containing recycled post-consumer resin. All labels are printed using environmentally-friendly inks and compostable label film made from annually renewable resource corn, not from petrochemicals.

I got to try the:

Revitalizing Pomegranate Green Tea Styling Mousse
An anti-oxidant rich mousse formula that revitalizes, and adds texture and control to frizzy uncontrollable hair. It provides long-lasting hold without weighing hair down or leaving it sticky. Pomegranate, a powerful anti-oxidant, helps to target dry, brittle hair while awakening follicles for a clean, rejuvenating experience and a luminescent shine.

Pomegranate Organix Mousse

Revitalizing Pomegranate Green Tea Styling Whip
A totally indulgent, unique blend of weightless silk and keratin proteins formulated to function as a styling aid. The Styling Whip also sculpts hair back to its original good health and is a perfect tool to mold hair into a sexy, tousled masterpiece!

Both of these products do a great job for styling my hair and holding it in place! Plus, they gave my hair an extra nice scent! The Styling Whip was definitely thicker than I had expected, but that's a good thing! It did a great job on my hair! I also like the pump for the Mousse! All Organix products smell delicious and work wonders on hair!

All Organix® products retail for $6.99 and are available at Target, Walgreens, Rite-Aid, CVS/Pharmacy, Bed Bath & Beyond, Wal-Mart and other exceptional retailers worldwide. The Energizing Passionfruit Guava will be exclusive to Target in 2009.

Kusmi Detox Tea Review

Kusmi Detox Tea

Summer means time to slim down and get out in the sun! And for those of us with fairer skin who tend to burn, it also means torture in air conditioned rooms! There's no better way to rejuvenate the body and keep warm on those cool summer nights than with a high-quality detox tea! If you enjoy drinking a cold glass of iced tea, iced green teas are great for hot summer days. Green tea contains a substance called theanine, which has been proven to boost moods, lower blood pressure and increase a sense of relaxation. Everything good to chill out this summer!

It's no secret that tea has been recognized as an important part of a healthy diet, especially the green varieties which contain important antioxidants. This is why Kusmi Teas of Paris, a brand known for its traditional Russian style teas for the last 140 years, has introduced Detox Tea to their product line. Kusmi's master blenders have chosen premium green tea leaves and lemon grass in order to make a delicious beverage that purifies, invigorates, and slims the body. Packaged beautifully in classic tins that can also make for a great base for a summer arts & crafts project or as a beautiful shell container, Detox Tea is a great way to revitalize yourself and your skin after those long days at the beach or poolside!

Green Tea

It's a blend of Maté, chinese Green Tea and lemon grass full flavored with lemon.
It's delicious plain or sweetened. The combination of Maté and green tea virtues -- diuretic and stimulating properties, richness in antioxidant -- makes Kusmi Detox the perfect companion for slimming and detoxifying diets. Known for its tonic properties, mate does not have the side effects generated by caffeine.

Its origins are found in China and Brazil. The main flavor of the tea is citrus. I could smell the citrus before I even got all of the plastic wrap off of the box! It is good to drink any time of the day. This tea is really refreshing and innovative! It's a great way to end the day and a fantastic way to end the summer!

Twenties Girl Review

Twenties Girl Book

I recently received a copy of Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella! Sophie Kinsella is an international literary phenomenon, a New York Times bestselling author, and one of today’s must-reads. She knows how to create smart and very funny female characters that speak directly to a wide and enthusiastic readership. Now hot off the heels of this spring’s box office hit Confessions of a Shopaholic, Kinsella returns with an enchanting new stand-alone novel, Twenties Girl. Full of the engaging heroines, impeccable comic timing, and endless optimism that infuse her fiction, Kinsella now adds the elements of fantasy and a dash of mystery to this story of two young women—separated by time—who are both trying to set their lives right and find their way in the world. Sophie Kinsella’s Twenties Girl is the perfect literary escape which delivers all the touchstones of her bestselling fiction—the heartfelt moments, laugh-out-loud escapades, and sparkling characters—that millions of readers have come to love.

I loved Sophie's sense of humor throughout the book! The character's witty remarks to each other are perfect! The reader can't help but fall in love with both women, even if they might seem overly dramatic and annoying at times (especially to each other). Also, being a fan of history, it was interesting to hear about the 1920's culture and fashion. This story should remind us all to be nice to old people. It also teaches us that just because we want something doesn't mean it's the right thing for us! I enjoyed this book and recommend it!

Piggy Paint Review and Giveaway

Piggy Paint Logo

I was recently contacted to do a review of Piggy Paint, a line of eco-friendly & safe products! Piggy Paint is a natural nail polish designed for fancy little (& Big) girls. Both the polish and remover are non-toxic and odorless, yet wear the same as traditional polishes.

I received a thing of polish and some remover. I was a bit skeptical that any nail-polish remover could be odorless and work at the same time. However, it can be! The remover is clear and it even looks less harsh than regular removers! It also does a good job of removing polish.

I actually gave my bottle of nail polish to a little girl that I know. She was visiting and happened to find the little bottle of polish laying on the table. She picked it up and saw the piggy and instantly wanted it! Since it's so safe, I didn't feel bad giving to it her! It made her happy, she kept saying, "Look! It's a piggy!" I liked the shade that I received, it was pretty!


They also have good deals on shipping! If you spend over $25, then domestic shipping is FREE! They will also ship worldwide!

Piggy Paint is generously offering Laughing Lindsay readers a 15% off exclusive coupon code to use on anything on the website, including sale items!

Motorola Hint Review and Followers Giveaway

US Cellular Logo
Thanks to U.S. Cellular and Motorola I got a new cell phone! I got the new Motorola Hint QA30!

Motorola Hint Cellphone

Its features include:

* 2.0 MP Camera with Camcorder
* MicroSD Expandable Memory
* Stereo Bluetooth Capable
* easyedgeSM capable
* Voice Command
* E-mail
* Contact phone book
* Personal scheduler and calendar
* One-Touch Speakerphone

I have been using this phone for a few weeks now! After receiving the phone, I upgraded my account with US Cellular for $10 a month so that I could get on the internet and check my email! That's really exciting for me, since I'm a college student! This allows me to be in touch virtually all of the time! I also like the keyboard for texting! However, the buttons definitely take some getting used to... they're a bit different. It has been difficult at times to text in a hurry with long nails. I have also noticed that it's pretty easy to accidentally hit the speakerphone button. This being said, it's a really good phone for texting and surfing the internet! I also like the camera, it takes good pictures. I also love the screen! Overall, it's a really good phone!

Thanks US Cellular and Motorola!

WIN! THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED!

Educating Esmè Review

Educating Esme Book

Educating Esmè: Diary of a Teacher’s First Year

By: Esmè Raji Codell

A nationally renowned advocate for literacy and literature-based instruction, ESMÉ RAJI CODELL is today “one of the nation's most sought-after voices for empowering teachers" (People Magazine) and a “Superstar of Education” (Scholastic Instructor). She is the recipient of a prestigious Patterson Pageturner Award for spreading the excitement of books in an effective and original way and has been a keynote speaker for the International Reading Association, The Society of Children’s Books Writers and Illustrators, and the American Library Association, and a featured speaker at the National Museum for Women in the Arts. Esme has been interviewed on CBS This Morning, CNN, CSPAN's Book Talk, and NPR. The author of "How to Get Your Child to Love Reading" as well as numerous award-winning books for children, Esmé lives with her husband and son in Chicago, where she spent many years as an educator in Chicago public schools and now runs the popular children's literature web site PlanetEsme, and the unique literary salon, The PlanetEsme Bookroom.

Being an education major I was excited to get the chance to review the expanded 10-year-anniversary edition of Educating Esmè. The first edition is considered “the gold standard” by The New York Times and a “pop culture phenomenon” by Publishers Weekly. It even won first place for national education reporting from the Education Writers Association. Even without the expanded information, the story is a great one that I didn’t want to quit reading. I wouldn’t say that the diary is a how-to for teachers, but more of a “this can happen when you teach” story. Esmè is such a creative, fun teacher! The school she was at was not supportive, but I believe the children made it what it was for her. I know that many people believe that teaching is an easy job, but they have no idea what it’s really like. Esmè’s story shows that teaching is a 24-hour a day job. Teachers spend their own time and money, away from school, preparing for class. The Chicago Tribune describes it perfectly, “Honest and spirited… Codell is no ordinary teacher.”

This expanded edition includes a “Hit the Ground Running” section with 25 tips for teachers and teachers-to-be. These tips are not just general, one-sentence tips either. They are very helpful and in-depth. It also includes an awesome shopping list for a first-year teacher’s classroom. I definitely want to include a time machine in my classroom; depending on what grade I teach (I’m an Interdisciplinary Social Studies major). The book’s foreword is by Katherine Paterson, the author of Bridge to Terabitha! The afterword is written by Jim Trelease, author of The Read-Aloud Handbook. At $12.95, this book is well worth it, I promise! It’s a must-read for students, teachers, and parents!

To see more about Esmè and her work with children and literacy go to Planet Esme.

You can buy it on Amazon
and Barnes and Noble.

CSN Lighting Lamp Review

CSN Lighting Logo

As I told you in a previous post, I received a lamp from CSN Lighting to review! I got the Lite Source - Lite-Bulb One Light Accent Lamp in Steel and Blue! I'm currently using it in my dorm room, beside my bed! Here are some pictures!

Blue Light bulb Lamp

Here it is with the other lights off!

Blue Lamp

The only complaint I have is that I had some issues with the prongs when trying to put it together, it kind of hurt my fingers... However, I'm also a wimp! :) Other than that, it's great! I was pleased with the fast shipping and the product arrived undamaged! I think it's a wonderful addition to my room! Thanks CSN Lighting!
