Snap On Feathers by Telebrand

by The Shopping Duck on January 27, 2012

One of the newest fashion trends is feathers!  I often see my girls friends with feathers in their hair. Now, there is an easy way to get in on this latest fashion craze with Snap-On Feathers™! It is an easy way to add those cool looking feathers to your hair. The feathers are attached to non-slip clips that easily attach to your hair and are easy to take off as well. Change the feather color for a whole new look just as you change outfits!

Snap-On Feathers™ comes in 10 different colors. Each Snap-On Feathers™ is $10.00 plus $6.99 for shipping and handling. However, right now you can get the Chestnut, Smoky Ash and Peacock feathers in the set by just paying the extra shipping and handling for the additional feathers.

My teen daughter tried these feathers and just loved them! They were so easy to put in her hair and she loved the look. She received a lot of compliments about the feathers.

This product is going to be featured in the Spring Fashionista Giveaway in March! Come back and see what other great fashion products you can win!

Chocolate Diamonds on Pinterest

by The Shopping Duck on January 26, 2012

Last week, I participated in the Pretty on Pinterest meme sponsored by Simply Stacie and Sassy Mama in LA and showed you some great pics of black and white diamonds. This week the theme is chocolate and I just had to chose Chocolate Diamonds as my theme because this Christmas, my son wanted to buy me Chocolate Diamonds for Christmas. His dad had to tell him that they were way to expensive, my son even offered to buy it with his college fund, but we talked him out of it!

Big and Tall Clothing

by The Shopping Duck on January 25, 2012

I have a daughter who is five foot ten inches tall. She has a hard time finding jeans that are the right length. In the store, she will try them on and they will be just the right length, but as soon as they are washed, they are way too short. I decided to do a little only search and try and find a site that sells Big and Tall Clothing. I figured that this type of store might carry longer jeans.

I came across G&L Clothing that has been around since 1917. This shop has a wide variety of clothing for men and women and they also have children’s clothing. You can choose the length for jeans that you want, so now I can find the perfect fit for my daughter. They don’t only carry jeans! They also have a wide variety of shirts, shorts, coats, and jackets in regular and big and tall sizes. While they only carry the big and tall line for men, we were able to find jeans in a longer length just in the regular women’s section.

Since I love shopping online, I found G&L Clothing a great way to find clothing at reasonable prices with a great variety. This is one of the few online stores that I could find bib overalls in all sizes.

Weight Watchers Frozen Treats

by The Shopping Duck on January 25, 2012

Did you know that Weight Watchers makes great frozen treats? These frozen treats are lower in calories than regular frozen treats and come in a variety of flavors! My favorite so far are the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Ice Cream Bars. These bars are only three points. The ice cream is a combination of low-fat cheesecake ice cream with a raspberry swirl. Then the top is dipped in a dark chocolate coating. Each bar is only 110 calories with 4 grams of fat and 0 grams of trans fat.

My kids favorite is the Snack Size Chocolate Fudge Bars. These bars are the perfect snack size with a great chocolate flavor. Each bar is only 45 calories with less than 1 gram of fat. Plus, they are only 1 point!

Another favorite at our house is the Dark Chocolate Dulce de Leche Ice Cream Bars. These bars combine chocolate and caramel tastes that is completely delicious! The ice cream bar is swirled in caramel and then dipped in a dark chocolate coating. Each bar is 120 calories, 4.5 grams of fat and only 3 points.

I also love the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Ice Cream Bars. These are the perfect ice cream snack. With only 80 calories and 2 grams of protein, I just love these. The middle is filled with low-fat raspberry ice cream and the outside is a rich, dark chocolate flavored coating. Only 2 points per bar.

You don’t have to be on the Weight Watcher Diet program to enjoy these great ice cream treats. These are great for any one watching their weight. Plus, I think they are a great treat for kids instead of the high-calorie snacks that kids tend to gravitate toward.

I received free product as part of a promotional program with WeightWatchers and MomSelect. All opinions are 100% my own.

Why I’m a Claritin Mom Crew Member

by The Shopping Duck on January 21, 2012

I have two daughters that suffer from allergies.  My older daughter has a strange cross-reaction allergy.  If she is affected by Birch Tree pollen and then eats raw apples, peaches, potatoes, and a few others, she gets a suffer reaction that causes her eyes to swell up.  We have found that if she starts to feel any type of swelling, if she takes a Claritin right away the effects will not be nearly as severe.

My other daughter gets allergic reactions to dust and other environmental factors.  I make sure that she carries a Claritin with her in her backpack.  She is never sure when she will have a reaction.

We love Claritin because it works and because it does not make my daughters drowsy.  I have decided to be a Claritin Mom Crew Member so that can share tips and experiences with you.
