I love Pizza Hut and was excited to learn that when I tried to submit an order through the application that I had downloaded on my iphone a few days ago, it credited me with an order of breaksticks!! Score!! I was so excited I had to share! :)

Then I had to wait for my order so they gave me a double order of breadsticks for free...double score!

So, my suggestion is, if you have an iphone, android or ipad (they have apps for all of those), you should download the Pizza Hut app and submit your order through it to get a free order of breadsticks!

I had the opportunity to review Color it By Numbers with my 5 year old and I have to say, he really enjoyed it! I wasn't sure if it would hold his short attention span but he played with it for about an hour so I was really impressed!!

He picked out 3 favorite pages and told me he loved the puppy, giraffe and the car! He had me color in some of the princess pages because I am a girl, so he just watched and told me the numbers to color in.

Here are some examples of what pages are in the program:

 

The pages are cute and kid friendly, the bright colors really caught the eye of my 5 month old son too so it is good for many ages!!

In order to access the pages, you have to download each of the books, it will place an icon on your desktop for easy access, you choose whether you have Mac, Windows, or Linux.

Here's what the icons look like:

 

 My only issue is that I was unable to shrink the application to enter in the code for full access, so I had to write the code down on a piece of paper and type it in that way...not really a big deal but would be more convenient if there were a way to shrink the application once it's downloaded.

   It was fun watching my 5 year old son play with the program, not only was he having fun but he was learning how to match up the numbers and colors at the same time! Even though my son knows his numbers, he thought it was fun to pick the number and paint color, then find it in the coloring page...I also had him tell me what color corresponded with each number as we went along. We went in order from 1-10 and colored the picture in as we went along, if he missed a spot he had to go back and find the paint color to color it! When he had the page fully colored in, there was a little celebration where the page dissolved a re-appeared to let my son know that he did a great job and colored the whole page!

Here he is in action:

Other features include:

-three coloring modes
-easy to change preset colors
-cute and exciting images
-beautiful effects
-adapted for all screen resolutions
-the picture is automatically saved after exiting the program
-music and sounds

The numbers can also be turned off for older kids to just use the colors and fill in the pictures, the music and sounds can be turned off as well in the settings area. As well as being in English, the program has been translated into German, Spanish, French and Russian too.

Overall, we had a lot of fun with this application, it is truly a great learning tool!

(I was not compensated for this review in any way, I was, however, provided the product at no charge to complete the review. The opinions and information stated in this review are my own and were not influenced by anyone)

Stopain is available in four formulations: Stopain Spray, Stopain Extra Strength Spray, Stopain Extra Strength Roll-On and the new Stopain Gel. The spray and roll-on formulations feature a convenient hands-free application. Stopain Spray, Stopain Extra Strength Spray and Stopain Roll-on are top-sellers in the topical analgesic category. All Stopain products provide fast, temporary relief of minor pains and stiffness of arthritis, muscle aches and back pain…so you can stop pain and get moving again.

 

I had back surgery in 2002 and since then have had arthritis in my back from the scar tissue, which causes pain when the weather changes; I also had back pain through my recent pregnancy as well as up until now (5 months postpartum) and it gets worse with the more work I do around the house. Sunday, I installed my 5 year old's air conditioner and have been sore ever since, but I applied the Stopain gel and it really alleviated the pain for at least an hour!

The scent, wasn't too bad, it was a light  scent and an alcohol type smell to it, but to be honest, I really don't care what the product smells like as long as it works, and it did, so I am happy!! :)


Here are some pointers, from me, when applying the gel:


#1) Wait for the baby or children (if you have one/some) to fall asleep first...I made the mistake of applying it and then had to put my 5 month old to sleep. I had to scrub my hands twice to try to get the smell off and was afraid to touch the bottle, so I made a mental note to wait until the baby goes to sleep if I can.


#2) A little goes a long way! I squirted a hefty amount on my hand and then applied it to my back and I learned that all I really needed was a little drop and it would have done the trick! Although, it is non greasy and does not stain clothes so that is a huge plus, especially if you're like me and tend to think you need more than you really do!


#3) When applying to the back area, only use the palm of your hand...to rub it in better I used the back of my hand and it burned for over an hour, it wasn't painful but wasn't the most comfortable feeling either. So the palm for applying is the way to go!

For every Stopain product sold in 2011, a portion of the proceeds is donated to the Arthritis Foundation (with a minimum contribution of $25,000). Also, to celebrate Arthritis Awareness Month, $1 for every product of Stopain sold at www.stopain.com will be donated to the National Arthritis Foundation in addition to our current Proceeds Sponsorship! This offer lasts from May 1, 2011 to May 31, 2011. (this is in addition to the 2011 donation!)

Overall, I really like this product and had success in relieving my back pain with it so strongly recommend that if you have arthritis, chronic pain or injuries that you try this out to ease your discomfort!
