Oma and Opa - #WeHeartBeijing

Oma and Opa are trying to win a 10-day free trip to Beijing for two people!
Please leave a comment after reading our entry below.

My travel buddy and I have, coincidentally, been married for forty years. Our diverse voyages during our adventurous and assorted experiences, feature knowledge and learning at the helm. Paul and I should be selected as one of the #WeHeartBeijing campaign winners for several reasons.

First and foremost, Paul and I are fun yet hardworking citizens who love to travel and discover new places. We have never visited Beijing. However, we are anxious to inspect the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, and the Temple of Heaven! Of course, the Great Wall will provide us with the perfect opportunity for a photographic hike! 

#WeHeartBeijing would be the grand topper to our celebration of forty years of love and devotion. Just like the Beijing Opera, as a team, we have passed the challenges of time; emerging stronger and more melodious. 

Additionally, as #WeHeartBeijing ambassadors, Paul and I would share every moment of our Beijing exploration with our friends and family utilizing our blog and social media interactions (via Blogster, Facebook, Google+, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Tumblr and Twitter) – the home-bound fans will all but smell our wonderment at tasting Beijing duck for the first time! 

Beijing is an energetic fusion of antiquity and modernity – just as my husband and I.  Paul and I cannot wait to rent a bicycle and discover some of the latest preserved hutongs as #WeHeartBeijing!

The Ultimate Travel Pillow Review #ultimatetravelpillow

AirComfy Travel products help make packing easier, lighter, and more comfortable! After all, travel should be enjoyable! The AirComfy Travel Pillow is a packable, lightweight neck and lumbar pillow that promotes happy and comfortable travel.

The unique, low-profile shape of their pillow cradles the arch in your neck. It provides ample support right where you need it. It only weighs 6.2 ounces, and it is very compact. It is easy to inflate when you need it.

I love the clip that allows you the option of clipping the pillow to the outside of one of your travel bags or backpack. How very convenient!

I also use this pillow on my office chair. It doubles as a back pillow and provides lumbar support.

Product Description

RELAX UPRIGHT COMFORTABLY - Our superior design keeps your head upright, preventing unpleasant kinks and strains caused by tilting your neck to the side. This low-profile support makes it ideal for use as a neck pillow for sleeping on the go.

• ATTACH IT TO HEADREST - Our elastic band holds the neck pillow in place, so you can move around without losing that comfortable placement. It is ideal for airplanes or as an everyday car pillow-providing you more support than a standard headrest.
• PACKS FOR TRAVEL - Weighing less than half a pound, you won't have to worry about a heavy pillow that takes up too much space. This inflatable pillow compresses into an enclosed packsack, and can clip onto your carryon using the attached carabiner.
• ADJUST THE SIZE - Everyone's different, so we've made our pillow adjustable to your personal preference! Open the air valve to allow it to self-inflate, and if desired you can manually inflate it to be firmer or release air to make it softer. Our luxurious interior foam gives you support without the bouncy, hollow feeling you get from some inflatable pillows.
• LUMBAR BACK PILLOW - Have you ever been on a plane or long road trip, and your back starts to ache from lack of support from the lower seat back? You can also use your AirComfy as a lumbar pillow and simply adjust it to provide the lower back support you need!

Slim Packing Cubes by Dot&Dot Review #packingcubes

(Available in 10 Colors, 1pc and 4pc Set) 

 

The Dot & Dot Slim Packing Cubes are available in an unbelievable ten cute colors and come in a one or four-piece set. For my review, I chose the yellow set of four. The Dot & Dot Slim Packing Cubes are sturdy and well made. Good thing because Oma can be rough on her luggage.

These bags are perfect for your smaller items that tend to shift and get lost in your luggage; underwear, socks, and such. The mesh front makes it quick and easy to identify what is packed inside. They really are amazing at keeping your stuff organized. I like to keep my hiking shoes in one of the packing cubes and away from my clean clothes.

NeverMess Baby Bibs - 3 Pack #nevermess

This bib is definitely different because it is  made out of waterproof Gentle-Flex. Gentle-Flex is an Eco Friendly, 100% Non-Toxic, BPA and Lead Free, plastic/silicone that is durable. The large pocket at the bottom is great for catching all types of messes.

Oma had never seen a Quick-Fit closure system like the one on the NeverMess.  It is very easy to fasten yet stays closed securely.

Since Reef is more of a toddler now, Oma would have like these bibs to be just a tad bigger. Nevertheless, these bibs are very useful. The clincher is their ease to clean - you just spray them off in the sink. (The bibs are dishwasher top rack safe however.)   Great product to have on hand when watching the grand babies.

Love that it comes with a 100% Guarantee.

Would be a perfect gift for a baby shower.

Expandable Hose Review #expandablehose

Oma has two and a half acres and consequently there is plenty of landscape that needs watering. This is a fun chore for me. However, I hate when my hose gets tangled and twisted. Therefore, Oma was very excited to review this product.

The Expandable Hose is just twenty-five feet long, until it is hooked up with water pressure. Then it will grow to a useful seventy-five feet. When you are done using the hose, it magically returns to the ‘easy to store’ twenty-five feet! Added bonus: the hose came with a nozzle.

Oma was very impress with this product. It is lightweight and works really well. It also comes with a 100% guarantee.

Deluxe Dog Pet Cat Grooming Brush Product Review #cldbrandsdeluxedogcatbrush

Oma and Opa have two pound puppies; big dogs that would have had a harder time being adopted. Owning a dog is not just a privilege-it's a responsibility. These animals depend on us for, at minimum, food and shelter, and deserve much more.

Brushing your dog is important for many reasons including:

1. To stimulate the skin and allow natural oils to circulate
2. To inspect your dog’s pelt
3. To prevent irritations and infections
4. To spend quality time with your dog
5. To keep your dog looking good!

All dogs should be groomed regularly for health and best appearance. The Deluxe Dog Pet Cat Grooming Brush is high-quality and well built. Oma loves the way the wooden hand fit the hand and allows for a firm but gentle grip. You can use the brush while your dog (or cat) is dry or wet! Value Bonus - a eBook ‘Cat and Dog Grooming Tips’ comes with your order!
