kernel season's gift

Some people like sweets.  My husband loves cookies, cake, ice cream and more.  I have to be in the mood for sweets but give me popcorn and I am a happy girl.  I’ve been known to skip dinner and eat a large popcorn at the movies (no butter though).  I was so excited when I was sent a selection of Kernel Season’s™ Popcorn Seasonings.  I was sent Bacon Cheddar, Garlic Parmesan, White Cheddar, Ranch, Nacho Cheddar, Butter, Caramel, and Kettle Corn flavors.  I love that they are made with natural ingredients like real cheese and real sugar.  The hard part was deciding which flavor to choose first.

kernel season's

I popped a bag of microwave popcorn and divided it up into several bowls so my family and I could try multiple flavors.  First we tried the White Cheddar.  It had a subtle cheddar flavor that wasn’t too strong and we all enjoyed it.  We have since sprinkled it on other things like vegetables and pasta.  I love that I can add flavor to other foods besides popcorn with Kernel Season’s™ Popcorn Seasonings.  We kicked it up a notch and tried the Nacho Cheddar next.  It had a stronger but equally as delicious taste as the White Cheddar.  It is also great to add nacho flavor to things like potatoes and pasta.  Putting Kernel Season’s™ Popcorn Seasonings on things my girls don’t normally eat like potatoes and veggie has helped me get them to try new foods.  My husband and I enjoyed the Bacon Cheddar flavor but it was a little too smokey/bacon-y (that’s a word, right?) for my girls.

My younger daughter is a HUGE ranch fan so she was very excited to see that Kernel Season’s™ made a ranch seasoning.  We all loved the Ranch flavor it brought to our popcorn and my little one liked it so much she has been asking to sprinkle it on other foods as well.  She ate a whole plate of broccoli with it!  Much better than dipping it in a ton of actual ranch dressing.  The Butter seasoning adds buttery flavor without loading our popcorn up with fat and calories- much healthier than regular butter.  If you like Italian food you will love the Garlic Parmesan seasoning.  It has just the right amount of garlic and in addition to being yummy on popcorn, it is great on pasta, veggies, and especially delicious sprinkled on buttered toast to make garlic bread.

For the sweet lovers Kernel Season’s™ doesn’t just stop at savory flavors.  They also make flavors to satisfy your sweet tooth, too.  We were sent Caramel and Kettle Corn flavors and both were sweet and delicious.  The Caramel adds the sweetness of caramel corn without the calories and sticky fingers.  We also loved the Kettle Corn flavor.  While I am a savory flavor lover, I do have a soft spot for Kettle Corn and Kernel Season’s™ Kettle Corn flavor hits the spot.

Kernel Season’s Popcorn Seasonings have an 18 month shelf life so I am now armed and ready to sprinkle some on everything from veggies to pancakes and potatoes to ice cream.  I love being able to add flavor without adding calories and fat.  Kernel Season’s Popcorn Seasonings at many local grocery stores or on their website.

pretzel crisps

Looking for a snack that has all the crunch of potato chips but not the fat and calories?  Check out Pretzel Crisps®!  Pretzel Crisps® are available at most grocery stores.  I was sent the Deli line to try with my family.  Let me just say they didn’t last very long in my house.  They were quickly gobbled up!  The Deli Line of Pretzel Crisps® include Sesame, Chipolte Cheddar, Everything, Garlic Parmesan, Original, Buffalo Wing, and Jalapeño Jack.  Pretzel Crisps® are made without any trans fat, saturated fat or cholesterol.  The exceptionally thin, flat-baked pretzel crackers have multiple uses in snacking.  Whether eaten straight out of the bag, paired with other foods like meat, cheese, fruit and veggies or “skinny” dipped in your favorite low fat dip or spread.
pretzel crisps individual
What’s great about Pretzel Crisps® is they are a snack that I can feel good about my family eating.  They have less calories than other snack chips and little to no fat.  Pretzel Crisps® are also versatile and can be eaten with so many other things.  I like to use them like a cracker and top them with my favorite cheeses.  You can also top them with your favorite dips, spreads, salsas, hummus, and pretty much anything else you can think of.  They are crispy and won’t get soggy with dips on top.  Their website even has tons of “recipe” ideas.  Try them with salsa, hummus, chili, cheese, peanut butter and all your favorite dips, or for an off-beat sweet treat, dip ‘em in chocolate, ice cream or yogurt. The “just right” baked flavor is also a healthy crunch all by itself.  I like to top the Original or Garlic Parmesan  flavors with diced tomatoes, basil, and shredded Parmesan cheese.  The Everything flavor is good with a little cream cheese on top.  And my favorite “recipe” when I am craving Buffalo Wings is the Buffalo Wing flavor dipped in blue cheese dressing.  YUM!
pretzel crisps

My girls like the Sesame, Garlic Parmesan, and Original flavors while my husband prefers the “BOLD” flavors-  Chipolte Cheddar, Buffalo Wing, and Jalapeño Jack. I will say that the BOLD flavors aren’t that spicy so you don’t have to worry about that.  I think they have the perfect amount heat and kick but my father and husband who love spicy foods said they wished they were a little hotter.  Either way we all love Pretzel Crisps® and buy them all the time when we grocery shop now.  And for those that love sweets, they also have sweet varieties that are yummy, too.

pretzel crisps regular and bold

Deli-Style GARLIC PARMESAN PRETZEL CRISPS® are a zingy twist on an old favorite, with great gourmet taste from naturally wholesome ingredients. The best part of the pretzel – that satisfying flavor and crunch – is crispy thin and baked with a light, savory garlic flavor for big flavor in a light, crispy snack.

Perfectly salted ORIGINAL PRETZEL CRISPS® give you that satisfying, hearty crunch in a versatile shape that’s dippable, spreadable, and deliciously snackable. With great gourmet taste from naturally wholesome ingredients, it’s the perfect snack anytime!

Our SESAME flavor is lightly toasted to bring out the sesame seed’s essential oils, adding a healthy kick to Pretzel Crisps®’ delicious crunch. Sesame seeds are naturally rich in iron, magnesium, manganese, copper, calcium, vitamin B1, E and a good source of lignans (phytoestrogens with antioxidant and anti-cancer properties). Health qualities aside, one bite, and you’ll be saying “Open Sesame,” again and again!

Our EVERYTHING flavor, sprinkled generously with poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onions and garlic with just a pinch of salt, more than lives up to its name. Packed with flavor, baked, not fried. EVERYTHING PRETZEL CRISPS® deliver great taste without the guilt.

Our BOLD & SPICY JALAPEÑO JACK is an exciting new addition to our family lineup.  Spicy jalapeño combined with smooth jack cheese flavor sprinkled right on top of each crisp. Try JALAPEÑO JACK with pico de gallo, salsa or guacamole.

Our BUFFALO WING flavor is a crowd pleaser! Everyone loves the spicy flavor sprinkled right on top of each crisp. Try BUFFALO WING with ranch dip, blue cheese dressing, cheddar or cream cheese spreads, and as a zesty partner for celery sticks.

Our BOLD & SPICY CHIPOTLE CHEDDAR flavor is an exciting new addition to our flavor lineup.  A spicy kick from Chipotle, combined with a sharp cheddar flavor on top of each crisp brings you a satisfying bold taste.  Try Chipotle Cheddar with avocado slices and cherry tomatoes, or with a dollop of guacamole.

Travelpro Luggage Atlantic Ultra Lite 2 21” Spinner Suitcase Product Review

Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

Disclosure- I received the item(s) mentioned below to conduct my review.  I received no other compensation and my opinions are 100% my own

travel pro ultra lite 2Traveling just got easier with the Travelpro Luggage Atlantic Ultra Lite 2 Upright 21” Spinner Suitcase.  I’ve traveled by airplane several times in the last few years and I always struggle with my carry on bags.  I try to do curbside check in for my checked bags but then I find myself dragging my carry on bags throught the airport and with my previous bags I had to tilt them to move around.  A friend of mine that I traveled with several months ago had a suitcase with 360 degree spinner wheels.  When I saw how easily she moved through the airport I knew I had to get a new suitcase.  I contacted TravelPro and they sent me the Atlantic Ultra Lite 2 21” Spinner Suitcase to review.  It was perfect timing because I was traveling by myself to Denver the following month and I knew it would come in handy.
The first thing I noticed about the Atlantic Ultra Lite 2 21” Spinner Suitcase was the color.  I received the magenta color and I love it.  It is between a pink and a purple and unlike the millions of black suitcases out there, I’ll be able to easily recognize mine if I ever did have to check it when traveling.  It is very light weight which is so important these days when airlines are charging for overweight luggage.  I’d rather have more of my own stuff weigh down my bag then the bag itself.  It has top, side and bottom carry handles on 3 sides making it easy to stow and remove it from overhead bins and car trunks.  The front has a full front pocket with built-in ticket
pocket that allows easy access to travel documents, magazines, sweaters, or last minute items. I always like to keep things I will need to access quickly inside this outside pocket including my carry on baggie of liquids so I can easily grab it and put it in a bin at the security check point.   It also has a convenient built-in waterproof pocket to keep your wet items like bathing suits, etc. separate from your dry clothes.
The main compartment is very roomy and expands 2″ for added space.  It has adjustable hold down straps keep clothes in place as well as a zippered interior mesh pocket to store smaller items and accessories.  Travelers of all sizes can easily adjust the telescoping extension handle that has two stops at 38″ and 41″ providing a comfortable roll for users with differing heights.  And of course my favorite feature is the 360-degree 4-Wheel Spinners that make moving through the airport and plane effortless.  They glide smoothly in every direction and make traveling so much easier.  Normally when I get on a plane I a struggle trying to get my suitcase through the narrow aisle while also carrying my laptop bag.  With the Atlantic Ultra Lite 2 21” Spinner Suitcase on my last flight I was able to glide my carry on suitcase easily through the aisle without ending up a sweaty, exhausted mess by the time I reached my seat.  What a difference!  I plan on getting a full size suitcase to match now.  I never want to use a suitcase without 360 degree spinner wheels again!

• 360-degree 4-Wheel system on Spinners
• Durable crash-guard wheel housings, skid bars and corner guards
• Convenient built-in wet pocket
• Extra-large front pocket
• Locking retractable handle has two stops at 38” and 41”, providing a comfortable grip for users of different heights
• Top, side and bottom carry handles
• Adjustable interior hold-down straps

It’s Back to School Time and Lice Are Back at School, too! Fairy Tales Lice Repellent Hair Care and Bug Repellent Product Review

fairy tales

It’s back to school time and children aren’t the only ones going back to school.  So are lice!  We were given several products from Fairy Tales Hair Care to review- Rosemary Repel® Conditioning SprayConditioning Shampoo, and our new favorite product, Bug Bandit .  We’ve been fans of Fairy Tales Hair Care for several years now and we use their products all the time.  We love all of their Rosemary Repel products for keeping lice away.  They are all natural, organic, and have a pleasant smell that keeps lice away.  They have a whole line of products that repel lice from shampoos and conditioners to hair gels and the rosemary repel conditioning spray we reviewed.  The conditioning spray is great because it helps detangle my girls’ hair and also prevents against lice.  I spray it on every morning before school when I am putting their hair up in ponytails.

Fairytales Hair Care also has great products to keep hair healthy.  The Conditoning Shampoo we received is great.  It doesn’t take much to get a good lather, my girls can shampoo by themselves, and because it is a conditioning shampoo they can skip adding extra conditoner.  The Conditioning Shampoo leaves their hair soft and silky.

Our new favorite product comes from Fairy Tales’ Bad Bugs line.  We received Bug Bandit which is an insect repellant that is organic, and chemical and Deet free which is important to me as a parent.  My younger daughter gets terribly bitten by mosquitoes so I was so excited when I saw that Fairy Tales made a natural product to keep mosquitoes away.  It smells nice, is easy to use, and works great.  It has really helped my daughter stay bug bite free on our nighttime walks with our new puppy.  They also make a spray to kill bed bugs.


Make sure to read the important information below from Fairy Tales Hair Care on Lice prevention and check out their site for products and more tips.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL IS HEAD LICE SEASON…PARENTS BE PREPARED

Here’s some great information on lice prevention from Fairy Tales Hair Care:
WEEKLY HEAD CHECKS CAN MINIMIZE AN OUTBREAK

NEW YORK, NY (August 14, 2013) – Parents need not fear the dreadful note home from school announcing an outbreak of head lice anymore.  With a little bit of prevention, parents can avoid a full blown lice outbreak.

A recent survey by Fairy Tales Hair Care found that while 93% of parents teach their children the basic prevention tips such as not sharing hats, helmets, brushes and  combs, only 56% of parents do a weekly head check.

Studies have shown that a pro-active check for lice and their eggs in “hot spots” can help to minimize a lice outbreak.  Lice lay eggs (nits) in warm, moist areas around the head.  These include behind ears, nape of the neck and at the part lines.  By checking these areas with a metal comb designed to remove nits, parents can stay ahead of an outbreak.  Lice expert and founder of Fairy Tales Hair Care Risa Barash, recommends the Fairy Tales Terminator Comb as the stainless steel, micro-grooved teeth are gentle on the scalp and catch the smallest of nits.

To assist parents, Fairy Tales Hair Care, makers of the bestselling Rosemary Repel lice prevention products, created a short video showing where to look, how to spot a louse or a nit and easy tips to learn the best method for combing during an outbreak.   This video and additional tips on lice prevention and removal using chemical free products such as Rosemary Repel and Lice Good-Bye, visit www.fairytaleshaircare.com and join the conversation at www.facebook.com/FairyTaleshaircare  and on twitter @fairytaleshaircare.

Introducing The Beatrix Girls- A New Line of Collectible Pop-Star Dolls to Empower and Inspire Girls Through Their Music, Fashion and Lifestyle!
TheBeatrixGirls_logoB
The Beatrix Girls is a new line of beautiful 12 inch dolls that are more than just a typical doll.  The Beatrix Girls are pop stars and create their own original music and videos.  Each of the 4 Beatrix Girls band members have developed personalities, back stories, and more. Brayden, Ainsley, Lark and Chantal live and interact in the human world—producing real music, real hits, and real fans.  Kids can join The Beatrix Girls’ fan club, collect their music, watch their videos, and vicariously live the fantasy of being a pop-star through play.

TBG-Band-group
As a mom of 2 daughters there are dolls that I won’t let my girls play with because they dress inappropriately for my taste or I just don’t think they show good values to my daughters.  I love that the Beatrix Girls have their own style but they dress in a way that I wouldn’t mind my daughters dressing.  They may only be dolls but to young girls they become real when they watch their videos and listen to their songs.  They empower and inspire young girls through their fashion, music, and lifestyles.  Through their stories girls learn that it takes perseverance and tenacity to achieve their goals.  That is a lesson that I try to instill in my own daughters.
1185473_571391702917181_655790891_n

Another message that the Beatrix Girls promote is making the world a better place which is so important to my own daughters who get involved in our community to make positive changes.   I love how each girl has a fully developed personality with her own substance, style and traits that my girls can admire and identify with.  When you watch the videos, they are not high budget productions.  They are created with the actual dolls so their lips don’t move and you can see the hands of the people moving them.  But that is part of the charm of The Beatrix Girls.  It shows girls that they, too, can create different scenarios and story lines for their dolls to act out.  I think these dolls truly inspire creativity and imagination in girls.

Brayden
We received Brayden to review and right away my girls were admiring her cool sense of style.  They love that she has dark purple hair and bright purple eyes.  My older daughter likes to write stories and has written a few songs with her class at school so she loved to learn that Brayden is the main song writer for The Beatrix Girls.  We went to The Beatrix Girls site and checked out all of their songs and videos and my girls can’t wait until new ones are added.  My girls are hoping to collect all 4 girls so they can make their own videos.  We hope in the future that The Beatrix Girls come out with accessories like guitars, a drum set, new clothes, etc. so they can really pretend to be them with props and all!  Here is one of our favorite videos.

• Brayden: “Hey, I’m Brayden: I was born in Hollywood California and my brain is always bursting with new song ideas, which is why I’m not just the lead guitarist but also the main song writer for The Beatrix Girls. I write songs that reflect real life experiences, friendship, and lessons like standing up for who you are. My passions are music and the environment! My friends and I are the hottest act in the world, but most importantly, we are great friends who care about each other and the world around us. I love to dress in stylish minis, sky-high heels and lots of jewelry. I mix those with geometric prints, clashing patterns and lots of soft bold metallic and leather. My style is different and edgy with a cross-over appeal.”

• Ainsley: “Hi. I’m Ainsley and I’m from the deep-south, but I’m definitely not a typical southern girl. I am a charming southern belle and can be quiet as a church mouse when we sip mint juleps together on the porch, but put me behind a drum set and I turn into a Riot Grrrl. My passion for drumming, coupled with a lot of hard work, got me the gig with my three best friends, as the drummer for The Beatrix Girls! I love the “modern antique” look. I favor rich, feminine fabrics like laces, florals and brocades cut into modern silhouettes that highlight my figure. I channel classic Southern Belle with my corsets hats and gloves, but I’m thoroughly modern in how I put it all together.”

• Lark: “I’m from Boston, okay? I live my life by three B’s: Beans, BoSox and Bass Guitar. Now I’ve added a fourth B… Beatrix. Aside from my love of music, I LOVE extreme sports – surfing, skateboarding, snowboarding – I’m a champ! I’m often referred to as the “rocker chick” of the group. I’m a bit grungy, a little bit punk. My passion for sports and music has not only won me many competitions, but it earned me my spot as the lead bass player with my three best friends! I like layers and ripped up jeans by day, and by night I like appropriating boys’ looks into feminine hot outfits. Combat boots with frilly dresses, skinny jeans with suspenders, sneakers with everything. I avoid pinks and other bright colors, but then again, with my fiery hair, I don’t need much color from my clothes.”

• Chantal: “I am Chantal and I come from Montreal Canada. I speak Français and English. I play the keyboard and sing. People say I’m “mellow”, logical and level headed, but I am often… “bent out of shape”… by the silly things people say and do. When this happens I am likely to “flip out.” I love to play the piano and sing, and I work very hard at both. I’m a snappy dresser and typically stick to the classics. I love the clean, mod look of the 50s. I like to wear soft, subtle silk blouses and dark, tight, Capri type pants or mini skirts with fishnet stockings. I like high heeled shoes, but not too spiky. I like to wear my silver bracelets and a slinky silver necklace.”

The Beatrix Girls will be available in October 2013 in major retail stores like: Toys R’ Us and Justice.

Boutique by Corelle Review and Giveaway! #Corelle #Giveaway Ends May 13th

This post may contain affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

corelle2
Corelle is a brand that has a long history of being elegant and well loved but I learned so much more about its products and history at an event in Miami this week.  Corelle is part of the same company as other familiar brands that include Pyrex, CorningWare, Baker’s Secret, Snapware, and Chicago Cutlery.  I’m sure most people have at least one item from one of these companies in their kitchen.  Did you know that Chicago Cutlery was one of the first companies to offer a knife block for their products?  Neither did I!
corelle8
Over the years Corelle hasn’t changed much besides the patterns they offer because why mess with what works!  Speaking of patterns, there are between 75-100 patterns of Corelle available at any given time so they have something for everyone.  They are so beautiful and elegant that you can even use them as accent pieces to decorate with.  In 2005 they introduced their first non-round plates.  I love their square plates!  And in 2008 they came out with a line of baking dishes.  The baking dishes are 50% lighter than ceramic baking dishes which makes taking hot food out of the oven so much easier.  Even if you don’t have their baking dishes, you can still bake with Corelle.  All of their dinnerware can be used to bake in an oven preheated to up to 350 degrees!  Who knew?!?!
corelle9Corelle is not only lighter than ceramic tableware but it also saves space.  The same number of Corelle plates and bowls takes up much less space than ceramic plates and bowls.  What would you do with extra cabinet space?  I know I for one would love extra space in my cabinets.  Plus, because they are so break and chip resistant, children can help wash and put them away and you don’t have to worry about them being too heavy.  Corelle also uses less packaging in their boxes because their dishware fits so well together in the box.  Every bit to help the environment.  I love that!
Corelle7
Prior to attending this event I really didn’t realize just how durable Corelle is.  My sister has Corelle dishes but she doesn’t have children.  I had always wrongly assumed that I couldn’t have Corelle in my house because I have 2 small children.  I have always loved how Corelle looked but I just thought they just wouldn’t work in my house.  I am so glad that I found out just how wrong I was!
Corelle is made in the U.S. and the only company that makes its products out of exclusive Vitrelle material for durability.  They are made of 3 layers of glass and subject to a 6 foot drop test.  It is not impossible to break them but they are break and chip resistant. They are backed by a 3 year limited warranty.  Corelle is not only durable and elegant but they also are very easy to clean.  They are fully finished unlike some ceramic dishware with flat, unfinished rings on the bottom.  This makes them not only easier to clean but since the bottoms are finished they are smooth and won’t scratch your table either.  My kids have a habit of pushing plates and bowls on the table so I like that Corelle won’t scratch it.  I am so excited to know that Corelle doesn’t have to be just for elegant dining and I can use them everyday with my family!
corelle boutique
There are so many styles of Corelle patterns to choose from.  Some people like to mix and match styles and colors which is such a fun look.  Corelle recently came out with a new line called Boutique by Corelle.  It comes in 2 embossed patterns- Swept which are feature round plates and Cherish which feature square plates.  Both patterns are on solid white plates so they go with any color themed room, mix well with other patterns, and are great for casual or elegant dining.
Corelle makes a great addition to any bridal registry.  Their dishware comes in sets of 16- 4 dinner plates, 4 dessert plates, 4 bowls, and 4 mugs.  The Boutique by Corelle lines also feature additional serving pieces you can add to your set.  If you need just extra plates or extra bowls to add to your set you can purchase them separately, as well.
Speaking of bridal registries, the month of May is National Wedding Registry Month and Corelle is having a wonderful giveaway.  The grand prize is that Corelle will pay for the winner’s entire registry.  You can find our more about this giveaway on Corelle’s Facebook page.  If you are already married you can renew your vows, start a registry, and enter, too!  If you are in the NYC area make sure to check out the rooftop party that Corelle and The Knot are throwing on May 14th in Manhattan.
As part of the event that I attended, I received my own set of Boutique by Corelle dishes in the Cherish pattern (my favorite!).  Corelle is also generously giving away a 16 piece set of Boutique by Corelle to one of my lucky readers.  The winner even gets to pick their favorite pattern- Swept or Cherish!

While most donut shops and companies out there focus on low cost, high volume
and average quality ingredients, there’s always one company that stands out by
adhering to its founder’s standards. Thats how I would describe Entemann’s. All
of their donuts and products contain the best quality ingredients and unlike all
other donuts you see at the store, you can clearly see the love and appreciation
that Entemann’s puts into their donuts.  Just looking at the care of the
packaging.

I’ve always said that I’m not much of a sweets person, but more of a salty or
sour type of guy. But lets face it, who doesn’t crave a good yummy donut for
breakfast or snack through out the day?
Whether its their sugar, chocolate, or crumb cake donuts, you are guaranteed to
bite into the softest, moist and best tasting donuts ever! There is a reason why
the original Entemman’s New York bakery had Frank Sinatra as their loyal
everyday customer! Seriously,  how many bakeries can say that?

Although your Entemann’s donuts wont be delivered by horse carriage like William
Entemman did back in the 1800’s, you are still guaranteed to enjoy the best
donuts in the market made by best established bakery in the country.

Entenmann’s celebrated the 40th birthday of Rich, their Rich Frosted Donut, along with the 400,000,000 Rich Frosted Donut to be coming off the production line in Carlisle, Pennsylvania on January 31st.

“I can’t believe I’ll be turning forty years old in January!,” said Rich, the frosted donut created by Entenmann’s Bakery.

This year, Rich will also unveil the biggest secret of his life – Mrs. Rich Frosted. Who will it be? What’s your guess?

  • ·       Glazed Buttermilk Donut?
  • ·       Crumb Topped Donut?
  • ·       Plain Donut?
  • ·       Powdered Donut?

The “Mrs.” was revealed on Rich’s birthday January 31, 2013.

Rich and Entenmann’s Bakery have decided to get the fans in on the excitement and let the consumers vote on who they believed should be “Mrs. Rich Frosted.”  The choices will include Glazed Buttermilk DonutCrumb Cake DonutPlain Donut and Powdered Donut.   Check out Entenmann’s to see who the Mrs. is!
The birthday celebration will coincide with an Entenmann’s ’Rich 40 for 40’ on-pack promotion starting in mid-January and ending in mid-April.  Consumers will be invited to enter weekly giveaways on www.facebook.com/Entenmanns – where Entenmann’s will be giving away 40 birthday prize packages a week.

Hello Kitty DVR Video Camera and Hello Kitty Ear Buds Product Review

This post may contain affiliate links.
Thank you for visiting Cori's Cozy Corner! Please make sure to like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and subscribe to our E-mails!

I’m sure if you have watched any of my video reviews you know how my daughters are hams and like to be filmed.  They also like to make their own movies and take their own pictures.  And what little girl wouldn’t like to have a Hello Kitty Digital Video Recorder w/ Camera from Sakar?  We were sent one to review and my girls had fun videoing each other with it.  
The Hello Kitty DVR has a 1.8″ preview screen which is big enough for kids to use.  The screen turns 180° so you can not only see what you are filming in front of you but you can also turn the screen around to film yourself.  It also has a built-in microphone to record sound when you are videoing.  With a 4x digital zoom, you can get a little closer to your subject.  You can also take still photos as well.  It also includes a special effect Snap ‘n Share Photo Editing Software CD to edit your images.  Have fun making stickers and scrapbooks with your photos.  You can even upload them right to many social media sites.  Want to see yourself on a bigger screen?  You can watch videos on your television directly from the camera with an AV cable (not included).  You will want to make sure to have an SD card handy because it is necessary to be able save your videos and photos and it does not come with one.

There are minimal controls so it is easy for a child to use.  Both my 6 and 9 year old were able to easily record each other.  The image quality isn’t the best but it doesn’t need to be.  It is a child’s video camera and if your kids are like my kids, they will just love that they have their own camera and can take their own photos and videos.

We also received 2 sets of Hello Kitty Ear Buds to review.  My daughters love Hello Kitty so they were a big hit.  How cute are they?!?!?While I don’t care for ear buds myself, my girls love them and said that these were very comfortable.  The sound is great and they love using them.  The ear buds even come with extra ear pieces included.  These are great when your kids want to listen to their games or music and you don’t want to hear it! Wink
