Wow Dad This Father’s Day With The Smartest Toothbrush For Less #OralBFathersDay

This post is sponsored by Oral-B and I am working with their PR agency. As always, my words and views are 100% my own.

We do it every day, at least 2 or 3 times, and maybe more on some days. It becomes routine, something we don’t even think about really. We go through the motions and move on with our day or go right to bed afterward. Of course, I am talking about brushing our teeth. Are you happy with your toothbrush? I mean, really happy? Is it getting your teeth and gums as clean as they can be?

What if I told you about a better toothbrush? By better, I mean it is the smartest toothbrush on the block! The Oral-B GENIUS 8000 can be paired with your smartphone through the Oral-B App using Bluetooth technology. Brushing my teeth has never been so fun and effective!

The Oral-B GENIUS 8000 was designed to help you brush like your dentist recommends. When you pair it with your smartphone through the special Oral-B App, you can get customized, real-time feedback about your brushing habits. The Position Detection technology ensures you never miss a zone and the brush and app help make sure you brush for the recommended 2 minutes and include a pressure alert to protect your gums from over-brushing.

This toothbrush and its technology are beyond cool! I downloaded the free Oral-B App quickly through the App Store for my iPhone X, but it is also available for Android users through Google Play. Upon opening the App, I was able to easily personalize it for me, including selecting my favorite color LED light for the 360 SmartRing. When I brush using the App, it lets me know if I am missing any zone, so I can adjust my technique. My teeth and gums not only feel clean and fresh, I know they are!

The Oral-B GENIUS 8000 is compatible with all the Oral-B brush heads. There are 3 different heads in the package to get you started, along with a handy brush head holder that fits right on top of the charging base. Oral-B’s rounder brush heads, clean better so, you have cleaner, whiter teeth from the first time you use it! Equip with 6 brushing modes, the Oral-B GENIUS 8000 tackles all your oral care needs.

 

In addition, there is an awesome smart travel case with a smartphone holder and allows you to charge your toothbrush and smartphone, using only one outlet!

Charging is something you will be doing less, thanks to the Lithium ion battery that allows you to go 12 days between charges. The super strong smartphone mount has a suction base that locks the unit securely in place horizontally or vertically, so you can get the best angle for real time feedback on your brushing.

I look so forward to brushing my teeth now! It is no longer routine, and I am really enjoying the experience. My teeth feel amazing and I know that I am doing a great job because I have the feedback that assures me I am not forgetting any areas.

Check out my video of the Oral-B 8000 GENIUS below to learn more:

The Oral-B Genius 8000 makes a great gift especially with Father’s Day coming up!  Today through 11:59 p.m. take advantage of the Amazon Deal of the Day on the Oral-B GENIUS 8000 – the smartest toothbrush around.

Our Plan For More Family Movie Nights! #DataAndAMovie

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and Walmart Family Mobile. All opinions are mine alone. #DataAndAMovie #CollectiveBias

data and a movie

With a husband, 5 kids and an insanely busy life, I truly do not know how I would do all I do without technology. Our family is seriously “connected”. I love what technology has done for us, the doors it has opened, the lives we can touch and the lives that can touch us because of it. I can earn a living without leaving my home, no commute to some cubicle in corporate America. I have the ability to build my own dream and put my ideas in motion. The possibilities are truly endless. Technology not only opened those doors but it helps us all stay connected and on track. Smartphones are a given but with them we need a great data plan. What good is having a Smartphone if you are getting charged out the you-know-what whenever you use or go over you data plan.

I was at Walmart the other day and saw the newly lunched Walmart Family Mobile Plus Plan. This is a great new service plan that features Unlimited Talk, Text & Data; 10GB 4G LTE. Oh and to further sweeten the deal this new plan includes one free VUDU move per month per line.  All of that for only $49.88 a month! With a family like mine that can mean 5  free VUDU movies every month! Disclaimer: All prices for phones and plans included in this post are accurate as of the date of posting; however, these prices are subject to change. Please refer to this INFORMATION or your local Walmart for current pricing.

Our son Ethan has been bugging us for a phone and frankly it is something we have been considering as he is getting more involved with extracurricular activities and playing on sports teams. As he gets older, there will be more sports and activities. It will make Mom and Dad feel better knowing we have a way to let him know if we are running late or a way he can call or text us with anything. When I was at Walmart and saw the great price they had on the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, I picked it up. It was an amazing deal!

The phone is great, touch screen is very responsive, call sound is clear and crisp, phone is large enough to view recipes or photos in a good resolution. Music sounds great, could not be happier with it.

With  all that data, I can do more and save more! When I am out shopping one of my favorite apps is Price Match.  That app lets me scan the UPC code of any product and in seconds tells me who has the cheapest price. Since most stores match prices, that app alone has saved me hundreds of dollars.  It really helps to have a plan like this because I use my phone so much.

I am always texting my husband a list of things to pick up at the store, texting my older kids, checking the weather when traveling, looking up  phone numbers, finding restaurants or stores when traveling and on vacation and so much more! There are so many uses for data and so a plan like this is so awesome! The free VUDU  movies, they are the icing on the data cake! A time to unwind and sit down for a family movie night is always a good plan. Oh and one rule-phones off!

We love the time to disconnect from our phones and spend that time connecting with each other and sharing a special movie together. We make a night of it with popcorn and movie theater candy. Hey I have even been checking out some great movie night treats on this Samsung Galaxy Grand via a Food App.

Let me know if you are going to check out this great plan. If you do, feel free to let me know about any great movies you watched. With 5 free movies a month I can use those recommendations!

The Easy Way To Keep Your Smartphone Secure & Accessible In The Car

I have a great universal car mount for your smartphone to share with you.  You can use the K2R Universal Car Mount in the car or even on your kitchen counter.  The adjustable sides ratchet closed to hold your phone securely.  Holder rotates 360 degrees to hold your phone in all kinds of angles for portrait or landscape viewing.

Out of the package it’s super easy to just connect the 2 pieces and tighten with the lock nut.  Next remove the protective film from the bottom, place on a clean, flat surface and push down on the lever lock to secure.  You will not be able to budge the holder.  When you are ready to release you push up on the lever and pull the little strip on the back and the holder will release, leaving no damage to your surface.

#MaxYourTax With Walmart’s Lowest Priced Unlimited Plans

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #MaxYourTax #CollectiveBias

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  Imagine me singing that, on second thought, maybe you shouldn’t. However, I’m sure many were singing a similar tune when they received their tax refund check this year.  If you are like me with a family, home and busy life, that money is very welcome.  I am a very big saver and I like to get the most bang for my buck on what I do spend.  I guess you could say, I like to see just how much I can save when buying the things we need.  I really scored big in that department this year, I want to share my story with you and hopefully help you #MaxYourTax return this year.

Walmart Family Mobile Hero

Cell phone plans can be so expensive, especially when your kids get to the age that they all need a phone and plan.  It can easily get way out of hand for most families.  We have a family of 7 and 5 of us all have smartphones so it can be hard to find something affordable.  I can hardly believe my 4th child is going to be joining the phone carrying crew and so I started to scout out options.  I mean I want something affordable and a phone that is not going to cost $600!

While at Walmart picking up some essentials, I happened to notice the Walmart Family Mobile service has the lowest priced unlimited plans, just $29.88 a month for the first line.  That is for unlimited talk, text/data service which includes up to 500MB of 4G LTE data  What a deal!  This is perfect for him and it definitely lets me maximize my tax refund!

I was able to pick up the Samsung Galaxy Avant and starter kit for just $149 for the phone and $25 for the starter kit.

Family mobile store 2015 #maxyourtax

While picking that out I noticed ZTE Zinger was marked down in price to  $19.84 from the original price of $39.88, that is a great way to really get value for your tax dollars.

You know since I was able to save so much on the phone and service, I have some extra tax return money to put toward something else.  Maybe toward creating an even bigger butterfly garden.  Can you tell I am sick of snow and looking forward to spring?  I would love for you to share with me how you plan to #MaxYourTax this year.  Please share your best ways to do that in the comments.  I love to read your great ideas.

Walmart Family Mobile Has The Lowest Priced Unlimited Plans!!!

I am a member of the Collective Bias®  Social Fabric® Community.  This shop has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. #CollectiveBias #FamilyMobile

Walmart Family Mobile -Lowest Priced-Unlimited Plans-#FamilyMobile #Cbias-#Shop

I am one of those moms who has kids ranging from young adults to preschoolers.  When your older kids start driving, believe me, you’re going to want to know you can reach them and that they have the capability to call if anything happens.

However, it can be very costly for everyone to have a smart phone not to mention an unlimited family mobile plan. That’s why I am so excited about Walmart Family Mobile, it’s the lowest price unlimited talk, text & data/web plan!

Family Mobile In Store 2 #FamilyMobile  #Shop #cbias

You can purchase a variety of smart phones for under $100 with some under $50 right now!  I went to Walmart today to purchase a gift from my son for Valentine’s Day!  I bought him the Evolve Smart Phone and it was just $79.00!  Walmart’s lowest priced unlimited  plans for talk, text and web are just $39.99 a month!  There’s no contract and you just pay monthly.

The low price gets lower when you add a line because you save $5 when you add other family members to the unlimited plan.  That’s a great value and much less than we are paying with our contract service.

Family Mobile In Store #FamilyMobile  #Shop #cbias

 

With phones and unlimited plans this affordable, staying in touch with everyone is easy and the peace of mind it gives me is priceless.  Since many families are now receiving their tax return, this may just be something you want to consider using it toward. Unlimited plans are so great because you don’t need to worry about anyone going over their minutes or data/web allotment and then being slapped with huge fees you didn’t plan on.

It couldn’t have been easier to buy the phone and the start-up for the Family Mobile Plan.  As I made my way to the electronics department, I immediately saw the display with the phones and signage about Walmart’ s Lowest Priced Unlimited Plan.

Walmart-#FamilyMobile-#Cbias-#Shop

 A very nice young man immediately approached me and was very knowledgable about the phones and plan.  I told him I wanted to buy the OneTouch Evolve and he picked the phone for me, then I asked him how it works with setting up the unlimited plan and he told me I needed the start-up pack,  picked the right one and told me I could activate it online or on the phone.

That was it, I paid and was on my way.  Of course I picked up a Valentine’s gift bag for the gift that keeps on giving.  When I got home I wrapped it up and put it in the gift bag and now to wait and see his reaction.  I know he will just love it! I will update with his reaction.
