Giveaway! iSwim Band

End of Summer #iSwimBand Review

Disclosure: Barbara's Beat was provided an iSwimBand to review in exchange for our honest opinion.





Sponsor: iSwimBand

Host: Barbara's Beat

Thanks to all the bloggers promoting this giveaway.

It may be time for school to begin in some areas of the country, but the temperatures and the calendar says it's still summer. Some families are even getting in another family beach vacation before fall begins.



The first thing I think about when my granddaughter goes swimming is her safety. Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) estimates nearly 300 children younger than five drown in swimming pools and spas. And more than 3,200 children that age go to hospital emergency rooms due to submersion injuries in pools and spas annually.



Barbara's Beat received an iSwimband to review which provides an extra layer of protection in and
around water. It's a wearable drowning detection device.

Using the iSwimBand is easy to install and makes me feel much more at ease. Even with supervision and utilizing an iSwimband to prevent drowning, we must be responsible and adhere to common-sense rules of swim safety.

A free app is loaded to your IOS or Android device to monitor the iSwimBand the swimmer is wearing. As shown in the box above, you have a choice to wear it on your head or arm like Kristen is doing.

The app alerts you very loudly when a child is submerged too long or a non swimmer has fallen into the water. Watch the video below.

I was shocked to learn most drownings happen when adults are supervising. It takes 20 seconds for a person to drown.

I love the iSwimBand so much I don't want Kristen to ever swim without one. Now, you can get one, too. Enter the giveaway below.

iSwimBand:

• iSwimband is a wearable drowning detection device that was developed to reduce the risk of preventable drownings. 
• Did you know that drowning is one of the top five causes of death for people ages one to 14 years in 48 of 85 countries? 
• Drowning is the second leading cause of accidental death of children under 18 in the US 
• Drowning is the number one cause of accidental death of children in 18 states in the US. 
• For every drowning victim, 5-7 near-drowning victims, primarily children, suffer from some type of neurological damage. 
• Amazingly, 88% of drownings and near-drownings occur with some type of supervision present. 
• Most drownings could have been prevented. 
• iSwimBands are an early warning system that prevents drownings by alerting parents through their
• iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch 

Giveaway

Dates: Aug. 17-Sept. 17

Open to the U.S., 18+

Prize: One person will win an iSwimBand Single Pack RV $39.99.

The more entries you complete, the better your chances are to win. Good luck.

Being the "other" one

 Hey there!

How has everyone been? Is it just me, or did the holidays and New Year's and everything just fly by? Believe it or not, I even kicked our Christmas tree out of the house - BEFORE New Year's Eve! Something must be terribly wrong with me... I couldn't get rid of all the Christmas decoration fast enough. Weird.

Back to the post headline. Noooooo, don't worry, I'm not the "other woman" or something like that!
You guys know I've started the new job a couple of weeks ago. And I LOVE it!

Since we have a little side-business, means an online shop called www.cell-wear.com, I decided I want to start pushing it a little more, do some PR and get the name out into the world. We do ship worldwide, for FREE, you know. And even though the website is only available in German right now, it wasn't a problem for people around the world to order so far. So it won't be one for you as well ;o)!

I was thinking: Why not spoiling some fellow bloggers with free cases to do a review and a giveaway on their blogs? Said, done. I put an ad up on "Bloggers Required". Geeeeeeeez! I can't even count the amount of e-mails I've received so far! It's UNBELIEVABLE!!

The funny thing is, I think a couple of people just start blogs as soon as they read something like that. I mean, seriously? 2 followers? I'm not asking for trazillions of followers. But I would love to see bloggers applying to be part of that giveaway, who are lovely people, putting a decent amount of time into making their little space on the interwebs a nice place to hang out. I bet you lovely ladies know who I'm talking about: YOU guys! So far I contacted 4 of my favourite blogs I follow, and so far 3 of them will host a giveaway (Alice, waiting for your reply :oD). I'm really happy about that, cause they are all awesome girls!

What about you? Do you want to host a FENICE giveaway on your blog as well? Check out our assignment here >>CLICK!<< and apply - if you think you are a fit!

#Razorpit Teneo Review // And a GIVEAWAY!

Yep, I´m cheap. I try to save money whenever it´s possible. So I was very happy when I recieved the "Razorpit Teneo", a razorblade sharpener. I love smooth skin, but really, razorblades are freaking expensive!

To be honest, I was kind of sceptical. It sounds too good to be true! Usually my razor blades went dull after just a few shaves, causing skin irritation - and now just using the "Razorpit" should make them last about 6 times longer? OK...

So - I´ve tried it. It is pretty easy! Just shave, and after you are done, put some shaving cream or shaving gel on the "Razorpit" and run the blade forward (opposite direction of shaving) on it, about 3 or 4 times, with firm, even, pressure. This supposedly gets rid of all the gunk (oil, hair, skin and soap) that accumulates on your disposable after a few shaves. After you are done, rinse the blade  and "Razorpit" with warm water and put them away.

Yes, it´s that easy, and I can say: it works! The next time I was shaving my legs, the razorblade felt like a brand new one! No skin irritations! Now the "Razorpit" moved into our shower permanently. Even M uses it for his razor! And he is just as happy with it as I am. I might go get him a more "masculine" (= black) version of it though ;o). Plus I want to have my "Razorpit" for myself.

_________________

Here goes the best part: 
The guys over at "Razorpit" sent me 2 of these awesome razorblade sharpeners. 
Why? So I can celebrate the 111 followers on Facebook and to give one "Razorpit Teneo" 
to a lucky giveaway winner! Ain´t that great?
