Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige Qi-Charge Electric Shaver

*The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service.*

It may be silly, but I am super excited about this new Philips Norelco S9000 Prestige Qi-Charge Electric Shaver. It may be "just" a shaver, but it is a pretty darn cool one. It can be used wet or dry and even works with shaving cream or gel. That is a game changer.

The Skin Comfort System allows for a comfortable, efficient, shave, even on a long (up to 7 days long) beard. That is great for my hubby who does not like to shave every day. Effortlessly shave off even a dense beard. The BeardAdapt sensor checks hair density 15 times per second and automatically adapts the shaver to your hair.

Strengthened with thousands of nano particles that cut hair with the highest precision, delivering an extremely close shave at skin level. The ContourDetect heads Move in 8 directions to follow every contour of your face, even catching hair in hard-to-reach areas like the neck and jawline. Shaving heads are surrounded with SkinComfort rings, which have a special protective coating so the shaver glides smoothly over your skin. There is also the SmartClick precision trimmer to style your sideburns, mustache or groom a longer beard.

The washable design makes cleanup is a breeze. It's an easy 3-step process. Not only that, but the battery charges completely in as little as one hour, and a full charge allows for up to 60 minutes of cordless shaving. There is even a battery indicator that shows you when it is time to recharge. Great for forgetful people like my husband (and me who will still be the one to make sure it is charged for him).

Not only is this shaver incredible, it is exclusive. The only place to get it is at Best Buy. That's kind of awesome, right? I love being a part of something exclusive, even if it is just buying a great shaver. And the prices and service at Best Buy can't be beat, so it really is a win-win. See you in the shaving isle.

Reviewing the Special Guest App 2

Have you ever had to book entertainment for an event? If you have, you understand how difficult and time-consuming it can be to find the right performer for your event. First, you have to decide the type of performer you want, and then of course your budget. Are you looking for a DJ? A live band? A string quartet? Once you decide the type of entertainment you’d like, and what your budget is, that’s where the search begins. You may enlist the help of social media, visit various bars and clubs on the weekend to check out the music, or just scroll through pages of Google results. But it doesn’t end there.

After you do find a few entertainers you’re interested in, you’ll need to contact them. This can mean a series of phone calls, emails or Facebook messages going back and forth on things like cost and availability. Then of course, there’s the possibility that your artist of choice is out of your budget, or just isn’t available on the date of your event. Now what??

Not to worry. This is where The Special Guest App comes in. This app, available exclusively for iPhone makes booking entertainment as easy as you could possibly imagine. Simply open the app, select the type of entertainment you’re looking for, and the date you need them. You’ll get listings for available talent with their pricing listed right up front. You can even book today for an event happening tomorrow. Book from wherever, whenever, with just a few clicks.

If you’d rather, you can call Special Guest to speak with a talent buyer yourself, who will identify available talent. Talent booking agents can even reach out to you with the best options after you provided all the necessary details. You’ll find a variety of performers available, for most any event--weddings, corporate events, special parties or even kids entertainers. This app ups the ante when it comes to seamless event planning, whether you need a magician for your son’s birthday party, or an experienced wedding DJ. Take the guesswork out of choosing entertainment and get time back in your day.

Artists get paid quickly and you’re protected in the event of a cancellation. This app won’t leave you hanging. Elevate your talent booking experience, with the Special Guest app.

Fresh Fashion with Fresh For Pandas

It may still be winter where you are, but it's never too cold for sunglasses. In fact, rocking a fabulous pair of sunnies is great way to to put yourself in a summer state of mind. It's always "summer" here in Florida, so I don't have to worry about that. But I still love a gorgeous pair of sunnies. I have an obsession with sunglasses, actually.

Sunglasses are the ultimate fashion accessory. Not only are they super practical - even vital - they are so versatile. Not every outfit needs a belt or a scarf, and not everyone is into a lot of jewelry. Handbags are great, but can sometimes be inconvenient to carry and a pair to store (when you have too many.) Sunglasses, however, can add style and flair to any outfit, and they hardly take up any space.

Okay, so we all know that sunglasses are the best thing since sliced bread. But...not all sunglasses are created equal. Or, perhaps worse, is when they are created too equal to each other. I don't want bland, boring, unoriginal sunglasses. I want pizazz! I want style and attitude. My sunglasses are (and should be) a reflection of my personality. There is no room for basic.

That's why I am so in love with Fresh For Pandas. Their sunnies are gorgeous! They are super stylish, and unique. Like little works of art. I adore them. Even the cases are a stylish accessory. I got the Skateboard Wood style with red lenses. I adore them!


Clearly, these are unique and trendy and fun. But, even better than that, they are good for the environment! Made from sustainable, eco-friendly bamboo and wood, they are a much better alternative than plastic, which is already an epidemic. They ship carbon-neutral and their warehouse is Soil Certified.

So we've established that the company and the product are great from an environmental standpoint and that the glasses and fun and fresh from a style standpoint. All that's left is performance. That is wonderful, too, of course. Fresh For Pandas hits the trifecta.


They do a great job of blocking out sunlight. The lenses are mirrored and non-reflective. They are also polarized, to eliminate glare. They offer 100% protection from all harmful UVA and UVB rays, including 100% uv400 protection.

Fresh For Pandas has tons of amazing styles and can even do prescription lenses. If you are looking to get into a summer state of mind, make your outfits pop, or just protect your eyes, you have to check out Fresh For Pandas.

Dearfoams - Valentine's Day Gift Guide

We all know Valentine's Day is nearly here. Everyone is busy making plans to go out. How about making plans to stay in? After all, Valentine's Day is about spending time with the one you love, you don't need an audience for that. Alone time is always good.

I don't mean alone time where you put on 5lbs of makeup and some uncomfortable lingerie. That can be great and all, but what is even better is being so comfortable with each other that you are just as happy with your partner in PJs and fuzzy slippers as you are with them in heels and a teddy.

And just because you are not going out doesn't mean there can't be gifts. In fact, give the gift of some amazing, cozy, slippers to get the evening off to a perfect start. Dearfoams has so many amazing choices, both for men and for women. After all, it's not just the women who should be receiving gifts on Valentine's Day. I feel like men are too often overlooked in that regard.


How great are those Fireside (moccasin) ones for men? And the fluffy pink booties! Those are my favorites. But the Ballerina Slippers are fabulous, and the Cable Knit Clogs are so comfy. With cozy (and totally stylish) slippers like these, you will never want to leave the house. But did you really want to leave the house anyway?

I won't keep gushing over these Dearfoams (even though I could), you obviously have a lot to do before Valentine's Day. You need to get some Dearfoams for your significant other (and yourself), rent the movies, buy the popcorn, chill the champagne (or beers, no judgement), and mentally prepare for a night that will knock your sippers off. Happy Valentine's Day, my lovelies.

Valentine's Day Gift Guide - Banton Frameworks Ltd.

As Valentine's Day approaches, the search for the perfect gift ensues. Candy and flowers are great, but they are also so common. I just love thoughtful, unexpected, gifts. I like a gift that shows that you really know someone and what they want/need.

I am a total sunglasses addict. My husband knows this. So were he to get my a fab pair of sunglasses, I would love that. Not just because the gift is awesome, but because he knows me well enough and cares enough to give it real thought, not just grab the obligatory box of chocolate.

Coincidentally, he is not obsessed with sunglasses like I am, but he needs a good pair since he is outdoors and driving all day long. He does not like over the top designs or anything like that, but quality is essential.

Banton Frameworks Ltd. is the perfect option for us both. I love when a product has such universal appeal. Unlike most glasses, which are produced by machines, Banton Frameworks glasses are handmade, in Glasgow. This gives them a distinctive quality that is hard to match.


I love how stylish they are, while still being very classic. The are perfect for men or women and can blend great with any look. They come beautifully packaged in a lovely box, and a include a stylish hard case and cleaning cloth.


Quality sunglasses like these make a great gift, because everyone needs eye protection. Being able to see the world clearly and comfortably is priceless, and the added bonus of a great fashion accessory is just icing on the cake. Would your valentine love these Banton Frameworks sunglasses? I think so.

The 77’’ class LG OLED TV Steals the Show

*The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service.*

Everyone knows I am a TV addict. I like movies, but I am love TV. I have multiple shows that I obsess over, and get hooked on new ones all the time. I take my shows very seriously. I need fast streaming, loud volume and great (BIG) picture. I can't miss even the smallest detail.

While I might be the most obsessive in the house, I am not the only one that likes things big. Hubby absolutely won't accept a TV in the house less than 55", but for his room, that is not even close. He currently has a 70" TV in there. He's had a 70" for years and it's time to upgrade.

Quality has gone up since he bought that TV, so naturally, price did as well. We have been looking for a good price before we commit, but quality is super important and size is not negotiable. I've done a lot of research. The 77" class LG OLED TV is leading the pack. None of the others I looked at even compare.


Talk about the ultimate home theater experience. We all know the Big Game is coming up. Make your watch party the one everyone is talking about. My husband is the ultimate sports fan, and we have a party every year, but the 77" LG OLED 4K TV would make it over-the-top awesome.

Season premiere parties? Season finale parties? Marathon binging? Can you tell I am obsessed with TV shows? I told you. From the first episode to the last, watch in impeccable high definition, in larger-than-life size. LG’s most powerful processor, α9 (Alpha9) providing superb picture quality: Award winning intelligent processor. LG's most powerful processor ever provides true-to-life images with incredibly rich colors, sharpness and depth to deliver the ultimate picture quality.

We've talked about size and picture, but it is so much more than that. Equipped with AI ThinQ®, which has the Google Assistant built in, so you can control compatible smart home devices using just your voice. Create a center for your smart home and beyond. Plus it works with Amazon Alexa devices.

I am all about smart devices (I have a Google Home and an Amazon Alexa), so I can control everything exactly the way I want, with just my voice. At least someone (something) in my home will listen to me.

Speaking of listening, get cinematic sound at home. The 77" LG OLED TV is equipped with Dolby Atmos®. Dolby Atmos transports you with moving audio: crickets chirping all around, a monster roaring from behind, or a plane soaring overhead. Dolby Atmos content creates a more detailed sound experience that appears to come from everywhere for a wonderfully realistic, immersive experience that puts you inside the story.

Of course, the performance is amazing from top to bottom, but what about the design? The 77" LG OLED TV is stunning. It is shockingly thin. Literally, I was blown away by the side profile. It is sleek and modern. Like a work of art.

Basically, this TV is the stuff dreams are made of, but is it one that will never come true? No. Because right now at Best Buy LG OLED 4K TVs are up to $500 off! Actually, thou the deal says up to $500, this incredible 77" one is actually $1000 off! If you want this TV, you can't pass up this deal.
