Vinyl Disorder Family Car Vinyl Decal
I just got an opportunity to review a car vinyl decal from Vinyl Disorder and I have to say that yet again they do not disappoint. The family of Zombies is the one I chose and this decal is just as good of quality as the sign that I got from Vinyl Disorder. The colors are bright and vibrant the edges clean and precise and I love the fact that they are pretty much peal and stick. They do very well in the sticking department as well. I have had some vinyls that will not stick on some surfaces like orange peel walls and even some corrugated wall boards.
As of now I still have not found a surface that these will not stick to. Even though they stick really well they still can be removed with no damage to the surface it is attached to. The first one that I got I decided I wanted to make a light up sign with a few other items purchased from Homedepot. It turned out great not only does it light up the way I wanted it to but the sign itself is of really good quality. I decided to include my list of parts and design idea for the sign in my last review. I hope you will take the time to check it out as well at Frugal Washington Mommy.
Back to the review. I will be recommending this company to anyone looking for a great quality vinyl decal for the wall, car, window, or anything else that you can think to put your decal on at a really good price. If you are interested in checking them out but don't have the cash right now, then take your chance with winning a free vinyl on my giveaway courtesy of VinylDisorder. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. a Rafflecopter giveaway

Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil Review
I am proud to be writing this review for "Tropical Traditions virgin coconut oil." A 100% hand made virgin oil made in the traditional way of hand shaving the pulp from the insides of the coconuts, and going through the painstaking process of pressing the pulp to make the oil. Now due to the fact that this process is done by hand and not by machine it makes this not only a great quality product, it makes it one of the few companies trying to keep with traditions and keep the old methods alive. They are also trying to keep their community alive by using local products and keeping the company employee's local too!
Now I'm not going to bore you with a whole background on the company. If you would like to know more about the company and their products you can check them out at their website tropical traditions. So back to the review. Being a baker I have used a lot of products that are supposed to be healthier then using butter or lard, and I have to say this has become my new favorite. Not only does it incorporate very well, but it has a very subtle flavor so you hardly know that it wasn't butter you used. There are many benefits to using virgin coconut oil as a replacement for butter and fats, not just for the fat content alone but also the health benefits. Since there are very few calories in coconut oil it makes it not just the smart choice but also the healthier choice, rather then lard, butter, veg oil, peanut oil, or even olive oil. And due to the lower fat and calorie content it makes whatever you are making a very creamy and smooth with little to no flavor difference with the final product. I am very pleased with this product and I will definitely be recommending Tropical Traditions to anyone and everyone I know who is looking to try to eat healthier and live better. And even some people just looking to be healthier sometimes. If you are interested in giving this product a try then don't forget to get your entries in for my giveaway. I am sure that you will be pleasantly surprised with this company's products and services, as well as the quality of the food you create with it. Thank you for reading. If you have any questions or comments I am always open to hear them so please feel free to write and ask me anything.

Collage It Pro review
I recently got approved to test a program called Collage It Pro and write a review. I will also be able to offer a giveaway for a few lucky winners to get a copy of this great program. I have made a few sample collages to show you the quality of the layouts as well as the speed in which you can make these great collages. As a matter of fact the 4 different collages that I made for this review took me 15 minutes to make. Meaning that it took me less then 5 minutes a piece for these great picture collages of my family and my beautiful baby girl. I am very happy with this program and the ease of use. I think that even a novice should be able to figure this program out. It is very simple in it's layout and use. Collage It functions flawlessly with it's drag and drop and the ability to randomize not just the pictures but also the layout. Just tell it how many pictures you want to use and if you want a border, even if you want the images to be put on a kilter like the ones that I chose to make.
I don't know anyone who wouldn't love a program like this especially if you are into photography like I am. This program is even easy enough for your child to use. As long as you can use a mouse and know what file your pictures are in. You too can create an amazing collage in a matter of minutes. Don't believe me that it is this easy to use. Well why not give it a try. You can check it out at http://www.collageitfree.com/. If you want to get the full program though you will have to sign up for my giveaway. I will have 20 licenses for the pro version to be given out at the end of the giveaway. So get to it and best of luck to all on winning this amazing program and I hope that you have as much fun with it as I have. Good Luck.

Filter Queen Defender Air Purifier Review
So I went to the home show in Everett WA to check out some of the new products they had available and one of the stands that I just so happened upon was a Company called "FilterQueen." A leader in the industry of Air filters and Vacuum cleaners. There filtering systems will remove down to .01 micron particles from your surfaces as well as the air you breath. Just to put a little perspective on things. You know those large over sized hepa filter systems that you see at almost all Dr's offices. Well Hepa filters although good will only remove down to .03 micron particles. So you still have more small particles that you are missing with that expensive hepa system. Unfortunately most of the particles that are floating in the air we breath are actually smaller then .03 microns. That means that the FilterQueen system is 3x better at cleaning the air you breath. I was not expecting to be interested in the product when they first asked me if they could stop by my house to give me a demo of the units they offer and let me play around with them a little bit myself. Now I wasn't expecting to buy anything when they came but I have to say that these units are very impressive. Both the Air purifier and the vacuum use the same filtering properties which means that the air that comes out of the vacuum is of the same quality that comes out of the air purifier.
The vacuum also offers plenty of fun attachments and tools for pretty much any job. Now I have used a lot of different vacuums in my time and this is by far the most impressive. This vacuum has so much suction that i decided to try it on the rugs next to my entry. They always seem to look like they are covered in mud and leaves from people walking in and out. However just a few passes over the rugs with the "FilterQueen Majestic" and the rugs look as though they were shampooed. This is not an exaggeration this vacuum really does this good of a job. Ever since I started to use the Majestic Vacuum and the Defender Air Purifier from "FilterQueen" my home has already begun to smell cleaner and I can breath easier. Which is a good thing for me since I am an asthmatic and already have trouble breathing around this time of year. As someone who enjoys clean air quality and a clean house. I would definitely recommend these products to any and all. The filter replacement cost is about the same. But the air purifier only has to be changed once a year unless it is being used in a large room with a lot of outside airflow but if used in the manner intended a filter should last for about a year. The vacuum on the other hand is dependant on how much you suck up with it. The canister will hold up to 16lbs worth of dirt and misc. The filter does not need to be changed on this unit until you begin to loose suction and at that point you just dump the whole bin out in the trash and put a new filter in. Both units come with a great warranty! The Defender has a lifetime warranty on the motor and components. The Majestic has a great warranty as well covering the motor for the first few years then if you have any problems after that they have a motor replacement plan where you just pay the cost of the motor and they will come out to you and swap them out for you. I am very happy with these products and I can't imagine not having them now. My old vacuum was a joke and as far as my old ionizers for cleaning the air they sucked. In just 10 min with the defender on in our bedroom there was no more smell (we put it next to the diaper pail) and no more stuff floating through the air. If you would like to check out some more information about these products go to www.filterqueen.com

Wubba Nub binkie review
I am the father of a beautiful baby girl who is now coming up on 15 months. When she was first born I tried all the different types of binkies from all manufacturers I could find and she just was not having it! So when she was six months old, we went to the doctor's office and I decided to see if they had any binkies I could try with her. Low and behold, they did and though it was not a Wubbanub it was the same type of binkie that they attach to the Wubbanub. I tried it and for the first time she took one and to this day those are the only binkies she will take. I immediately went out to the store and bought several different types with the same nipple and came across the Wubbanub. She right away loved them! And as an added bonus it gives your child a toy they always have with them. There are several different types of stuffed animals attached to the back side of the binkie. They are easy to clean, fun for the kids, and durable. (they can go in the washing machine or be hand washed!) My daughter has 3 of the ones that they offer right now including a cat, duck, and a frog. If you are interested in checking them out they have them at Babies'r us. Or check them out at Wubbanub
Arnova 7 G2 Review
I have been looking for a tablet or an eBook for a while now and I have been looking at the Archos home tablets for a while. Then I happened to stumble upon a great deal on the Arnova 7 G2 which is made by Archos. So I decided to give it a try.
I have to say that in the few hours that I have had to play around on it I am really enjoying the Arnova 7 G2. True it does not have the largest built in memory at only 4gb but it is expandable with a micro sd up to at least a 16gb since that is the largest card that I have on-hand right now. It is well equipped to do almost anything I could want. The only problem that I have seen so far is it does have a little bit to much lag with the keyboard. Other then that I have no complaints. It runs smooth fast plays my videos, music, surf the web, and games with no problem. Overall I am impressed with this great little tablet and I would definitely recommend this product to others looking for a tablet that's easy to use and has a high def image.
So if you get the chance check out Archos and the great line of products they offer. Please feel free to comment on this review. I am always interested in any questions I can answer and hearing my readers opinion. Archos

Noxicare product review
So I recently got a package from Noxicare pain relief cream and I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The product was everything they described. It has no scent which when you look at the ingredients in it you would think it would have a strong smell, and yet there is none. It has all natural ingredients too!
It takes about 10-15 min for the rub to initially take effect but once it starts, it definitely works! It is the only cream or rub that has ever actually worked for me. Pair that with the fact that it has no scent and no greasy after feel or residue it makes it perfect for using when you don't want to smell like you've been rubbed down with eucalyptus. I would gladly recommend this product to everyone who suffers from muscle pain to deep joint pain. Granted it will take longer for deep seated pain but it does work. I hope that anyone who reads this won't just take my word for it but will go to check out their products for yourself. If you would like to check them out and decide that you would like to try their products they have asked me to give my readers a promo code for an additional 10% off your purchase price. Go here and enter promo code BLGDS. And I look forward to hearing your input on the product as well.

New Review Item's
So I am going to start doing reviews on gardening products here in the near future. I am doing this because it is one of my hobbies and I always like to put up reviews for things that I am interested in. So to start I am going to write a little about why I am going to be reviewing things in this category as well as Knives, Electronics, etc. I have searched online for different review sites looking for ones that cover the categories that I do and I have yet to find one. So here it goes. I am adding gardening equipment as one of the items I will be reviewing. Since I am an avid gardener myself I enjoy spending time out with my plants giving them the little added CO2 that my breathing around them can give them. Now living in the NW I can tell you that it is hard to grow outside year round due to the temperature and rain fall. I will be going over products for both growing inside or outside. Everything from nutrients to lighting, Soil VS Hydro VS Aero, Best lights to use, Most cost effective, and some of the best local places to find some of these items. Now I know what most of you are thinking "There is other sites out there that do the same thing. So why should I check out your site?" Simple those other site's go more off of the companies labeling and what the company claims it will do. Now mind you I will reference the companies info for things that I have found to be true with the products. But I am not using these products for growing fruits and vegetables. I have started to grow my own plant's and I thought to myself. I've read books about how to grow and what product's they recommend but when it came right down to it I didn't know who to believe. So here I want to be able to shed some light on the world of plants and the products that I have found to be the most cost effective the best producing and even some of the best nutrient mixes to use for your home grow. If there are any products in this category or any of my other categories that you would like to see a review from me on please comment on my page or write me a message on my facebook page.

Genelec Powered Monitors
I have been a huge fan of Music and Home theater systems for most of my life. I used to install custom home theaters that cost in the range of $20,000-$200,000 so speaker quality is one thing I don't take lightly. My family is in the movie industry and sound editing end of things. So when I noticed the speakers they used in their editing gear I decided I should check them out and see what they were all about. Now what I found was that they weren't the best priced speakers out there but they by far are one of the best sets of speakers I have ever owned. These are no cheap Rat shack speakers and they sure are not on the inexpensive side. With an average price of around $600 per speaker they are on the more expensive side but once you hear the quality of these speakers I think you will be surprised. The biggest selling feature of these speakers for me is the small foot print they have with an incredibly large sound and clarity, I have not found in any other monitors in this price range or size. Now these are self powered meaning that as long as you have a set of RCA's and a surge protector you can hook these up to anything from iPods, Music, TV, or Game Systems. The best part of it is you don't need an amp or a lot of cabling just a small shelf power and a set of RCA's that's all nothing more nothing less. Now I know what your thinking. It can't be that easy. Well it is! This is one of the best portable stereo set ups you could possibly buy. But they don't stop there. They have a full line of products that are world renowned for clarity, quality, and durability. Interested in finding out more check them out at http://www.genelecusa.com/.

Skullcandy Ear Buds
They are extremely durable, and even though I don't recommend trying it my fiance's pair has gone through the washer and dryer more then once and they still work as well as they did the day we bought them. I use my pair almost every day. My fiance is harder on her headphones then anyone I know and she loves hers. She has had two pairs now and the only reason we had to buy the second pair was because her dog decided they were a tasty treat. I would highly recommend these headphones to anyone and everyone. You can check them out at http://www.skullcandy.com/. This is not a paid review. I did not get paid or given any compensation for writing this review. Everything written in this post is my own opinion and is not bias or swayed in any way. Don't believe me. I dare you to go out, buy a pair and compare them to any other headphones you have now that are in the same price range or even to headphones that cost more. I'm sure you will be just as impressed as I was.

Masters Of Defense MOD Knives "Razorback"
Blackhawk MOD Masters Of Defense "Razorback Knife"
I purchased this Knife about 5 years ago and it has stood up to anything and everything I have thrown at it including actually using it as a throwing knife. Now just like any knife it is not impervious to damage but this knife is definitely one of the most sturdy knives I has ever owned. I used it for over a year straight as my workhorse knife doing everything from prying to opening cans even cutting meat. The edge holds up to it all. Over the time I was using it I only had to sharpen it 3-4 times and though I don't recommend it I can attest that the tip stood up to being dropped straight on to concrete and even though it rounded the tip slightly it also took a decent chip out of the concrete. Most knives if I were to drop them tip first on to concrete the tip would just break right off. I am also a stickler for details and Masters Of Defense is one company I can say is just as big a stickler for details. They are one of the first companies to actually get the blood groves symmetrical and the grind lines and bevel marks on the sides are almost perfectly aligned.

DAP Downpayment Assistance Program
So I have been trying to take a coarse here in Washington State for "DAP" and Tolin Peterson was the first guy I contacted he was nice at first. But being the father of a one year old baby girl things come up so I was unfortunately delayed from going to the class. When I tried to contact Tolin Peterson he ignored my phone calls. Thinking he might be busy I waited a few hours and tried again. Again he ignored my call so I figured I would give him a call the next day. Still no reply. When I woke up this morning I had a rather nasty E-mail saying that I am the rude one for calling him or even trying to get in touch with him on Labor Day. Even though there are still classes offered on Labor Day. Now I can understand if things got a little busy but to tell a perspective client that they are rude for trying to set up a time to take a class. I tried for over 5 hours and 2 days to get in touch with him and he not once called back, sent an E-mail, or a text message but me as the customer I'm the rude one. For anyone out there looking to take a Coarse for "DAP" I highly recommend staying away from Tolin Peterson and his entire group. They obviously care very little about the customers.
DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE SMILE THIS IS TOLIN PETERSON! HE'S NOT HERE TO HELP YOU JUST HIS WALLET.

A Quick Overview
Everyone uses Knives whether it is for Cooking, Working, Collecting, Etc. I have bought tons of different companies knives and there are very few that I would recommend to people. Now I'm sure you've all seen the knife shows on TV late at night. Well I do have to say I have seen a few knives on there that looked great but once I ordered and got them they were definitely of a lower quality then they described. Now I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering where I got them from, but I mean there is taking creative license with the description and then there is flat out lying. Well I can tell you that you will only get my honest and true opinion on any items that I review. Now to start I will be writing a few review for Items that I did not get for free and I am not getting paid to write these reviews. I am doing this as a show of good faith to you the viewers and any potential companies that would like to have me do a review. Now on to the fun stuff. The information you have all been eagerly awaiting. I will be reviewing a couple big name Knife companies like Gerber, Cold Steel, Masters Of Defence MOD, Caphlon and More. I will also be writing reviews on electronics, couponing, deals, giveaways, and much much more. You can also Check out more reviews and other giveaways at www.frugalwashingtonmommy.com.
