TECH GIFTS: Stress Relievers Moms will Love for Mother's Day

Keys Missing? Don't Remember where You Parked the Car? These Tech Items can Help....

Mother's Day is coming up fast. And for those Moms who are technology lovers, here are two tech items that you can buy Mom to help take the stress out of finding her missing keys or remembering where she parked the car at the crowded mall.

ZUS
ZUS is a vehicle finder and smart car charger all in 1 small unit.   It can not only charge two devices two times faster than a normal car charger, but it also pairs with an Android or iPhone smartphone app to help you find where you parked your car.

We have all gone to the mall or to a concert and in our excitement, totally forgotten where we parked the car. I have forgotten where I parked my car recently at a stadium.  So when I was sent a complimentary ZUS unit to test out, I put it right to work when I took my son to a recent event.

I plugged the ZUS into my car port to charge my half dead smartphone and when I parked my car and turned off the ignition, I received a message on my smartphone from the ZUS app that it had registered my car's location.

When I needed to find my car,I just open the app and follow the arrows. It is that simple. Because the ZUS app utilizes your phone's GPS to help you find your car, ZUS is best suited for cars parked where GPS signal is strong such as open lots.

Another feature of ZUS is a timer function that is great for when your car is parked is a timed space so that you know when the time is up to save yourself from getting a parking ticket.

ZUS SALE ALERT!!!
ZUS retails for $59.99 but is currently on sale for $29.99

FIND OUT MORE ABOUT ZUS CAR FINDER AND SMART CAR CHARGER

TrackR
Track R is a coin sized disk that you attach to items that you want to keep track of, like you keys or your wallet.

If you lose track of the item, you can use the app to make the TrackR disk attached to the item ring, allowing you to find the item or be notified before leaving the item behind.

TrackR's Crowd GPS Network even update you of your item’s latest location on a map!

Watch the video above to learn more!

TrackR is available in 4 fashionable colors: White, Blue, Black, and Pink.

MOTHER'S DAY SALE!!!
TrackR retials for $29.99 per device.   The company is currently running a Mother's Day sale where you can get 4 TrackR devices for $59.99 with FREE US shipping

BEAUTY: Cute and Stylish Beauty Gifts for Moms from EOS and Tweezerman

Here's some last minute cute beauty gifts for Mom...

With Mother's Day only days away, I hope that most of you have picked up the main gifts for those special women in your lives.  But it's always nice to include a few cute side gifts along with the main one.

I remember when my son was younger, he would make my mom and sisters special Mother's Day cards (cute kids making handmade cards always go over well). But I also wanted him to give them a little inexpensive gift along with the card. I call these kind of gifts "side gifts" or stuffers.  So we would visit Target on the hunt for something stylish, yet appropriate in price for a young child.

I was recently sent for review two cost efficient, yet stylish beauty gifts that would make perfect "side gifts" to give on Mother's Day. I like these items because they both have awesome designs that make each product a step up from basic items that mom's would buy for themselves, but they still are not priced to break the bank...

EOS makes stylish beauty products for hands and lips

EOS Keeps Hands Soft and Looks Stylish in your Purse
What woman can live without a fabulous lotion to hydrate and liven up hands as spring is in full blossom? EOS’ 97% natural Everyday Hand Lotion formula will make your hands soft, smooth, and never greasy. Its smooth, ergonomic, recyclable packaging is not only cute; it’s also easy to find in even the largest of bags, and is a perfect accessory for a desk or nightstand.

Scents include: Natural, Berry Blossom and Cucumber

Price: $3.99, EOS products are available at Walgreens, Walmart, and Target

Tweezers have never been this stylish!!

Tweezerman's Striped Mini Slant Tweezers
In thinking of the blossoming of Spring, New Striped Mini Slant Tweezers emulate the fashion designer credo of mixing and pairing of wide and thin stripes in two vibrant color combos! You can find the perfect design whether you prefer laid back nautical or high-end haute couture style. The miniature version of Tweezerman’s award winning Slant Tweezer, the Mini Slant, features the famous, perfectly aligned, hand filed precision tips that grab every hair, making it the ideal on-the-go tool for any it girl or beauty enthusiast.

Price: $15, Tweezerman's Striped Mini Slant Tweezers are available at Sephora.com

BEAUTY: FREE Samples at @IMANcometics BB Crème Launch Event 4/27 SOUTHFIELD 11am-5pm #IMANbb

I really like the natural look of the IMAN BB Creme on my skin...

Finally a BB Crème for women of color...

I have never been one to wear lots of makeup.  The heavily made-up look just does not interest me.  I love my skincare and makeup routine to be quick, simple and natural looking.

That is why I was glad when I was contacted about the launch of the new IMAN Cosmetics Skin Tone Evener BB Crème SPF 15 - which is being billed as a “beauty balm”, skin care and color all in one product.

With a blend of Skin Tone Evener Complex, SPF, essential botanical extracts and multivitamins, Iman Cosmetics Skin Tone Evener BB Creme SPF 15 evens out discoloration, hydrates and protects my complexion in one step. This BB Cream goes on creamy and then dries to a satiny finish and can be used on all types of skin (except for acne prone skin) alone or under your foundation.

IMAN BB Creme is available in six shades that compliment skin of color in the IMAN Sand, Clay & Earth color families. I found my shade by visiting the IMAN Find Your Shade page on the IMAN Cosmetics website.

IMAN Cosmetics was kind enough to send me a complementary sample of the IMAN BB cream.  I  applied just a small amount of the IMAN BB Creme in the color "Earth Deep" to my skin using my fingertips and my skin tone looked even and natural looking without feeling like I was wearing any makeup. And my skin is now more protected from the sun due to the SPF 15 in the product.

IMAN BB Creme sells for $20 per 1 oz. tube and is available at retailers like Target, Walmart, and Walgreens.  Visit the IMAN cosmetics website for more information on IMAN BB Creme.

Join the IMAN BB Creme Metro Detroit Launch Event on April 27th in Southfield, MI...

IMAN has teamed up with its retailers to host a series of exciting in-store events celebrating the BB Crème launch. The events will be held at select retailers in NY, NJ, CA, GA, MI and more throughout the next new months. See the full list of events at: http://www.facebook.com/IMANcosmetics/events

The Metro Detroit IMAN BB Creme launch event will take place on Saturday, April 27th at the Southfield, MI Walgreens at 23111 Lahser Rd, Southfield, Michigan, 48034. 

Come in from 11am to 5pm to the Lahser Road Walgreens in Southfield for your FREE consultation with an IMAN Makeup Artist.  You will get a FREE sample and a demonstration with tips and techniques.
