It is the new GE Create by Jason Wu. Create is an exclusive line of digital cameras resulting from the unique collaboration between General Imaging, the company behind GE branded digital cameras, and Jason Wu, the 27-year-old designer who has claimed the international fashion spotlight, dressing celebrities like Drew Barrymore, Diane Kruger and Natalie Portman.

When I was sent GE Create by Jason Wu to review I received it in green..... I love the color!!! I charged it right away. The battery charges via wall adapter or the retractable USB plug. When it was all charged and I was ready to take photos I was pleasantly surprised about the number of photos you can take with the built in memory....1280 photos !!! That's right, over 1200 with NO memory card! Next I started to take photos at the touch of a button...NOTHING complicated! It automatically adjust settings based on lighting and subject without anything for you to adjust. You can also switch from photo to video mode at the touch of a button!!! The final step (and coolest) is to upload your photos, it is as simple as sliding out the built in USB !!

Here are a few of the first photos I took with the Create.

Recently my boys were sent the Paper Jamz Style 4 guitar to try. What are Paper Jamz? Paper Jamz are super thin, stringless guitars that = FUN!!! It was a hit with all 3 of my boys (Shhh...Hubby and myself have also rocked it out a few times, LOL) I think the favorite mode around here is Freestyle, which allows you to to be creative and make up your own songs!

I love toys that allow my children to be creative and use there minds. They are so proud when they come up with a new song and they can not wait to share it with us.

I really like how light weight the Paper Jamz guitar is, it make it really easy to hold and allows hours of play with out tired arms. Another feature that really caught my attention is NO STRINGS, which is one less think that can break!!

More of us probably wipe off the grocery cart with disinfectant wipes than deal with what might be accumulating on our couch or mattress. According to a recent survey, less than half of adults have tried to kill germs on their furniture or mattresses. Oreck has just released another machine with UV-C Technology, the Oreck Halo Flash Vac. This differs from the original Oreck Halo Vacuum in that it is a hand held cleaning device.

My middle son has RAD ( Reactive airway disease) which is along the same lines as asthma. So I am always thrilled to learn about new products that are chemical free that will help keep a cleaner home for him.

The Oreck Halo Flash features a proprietary germ-killing ultraviolet light in a patented quartz light chamber that safely kills many of the germs, bacteria, mold and allergens on household surfaces – without using chemicals Primary uses include mattresses and upholstery. The Oreck Halo Flash can also be used on tabletops, countertops, changing tables, appliances, and virtually anything that has a flat surface.

When the Oreck Halo Flash arrived for us to review it was very easy to put together and I was pleasantly surprised on how light it was. It is very simple to use, you turn on the canister and then squeeze and hold the UV-C activation switch. After a short delay, the oval light around the logo will illuminate, which means the UV-C light is on. I went room to room cleaning the mattresses, dressers, rugs etc..... After I hit all the bedroom it was on to the living room where I made sure to get my couch really good. I LOVED how quick and easy it was to use on everything!

Top Features:
Safety Features:
(Do not expose skin or eyes to the UV-C light through transparent or translucent materials
including but not limited to clothing, glass, mesh, screen, plastic or plexiglass.)

1. The Oreck Halo Flash has built-in safety features to ensure that it will not cause
harm to people or pets if used as directed:
• A trigger on the handle must be depressed for the UV-C light to activate.
• All four safely sensors must remain flat on the surface. If one of the safety sensors
loses contact with the surface, the UV-C light automatically turns off.

2. The germ-killing technology in the Oreck Halo family of products has been tested and
found to be safe on approximately 50 carpet, flooring and other natural and synthetic textile surfaces when used as recommended. Oreck suggests that you not keep the vacuum stationary in one spot for a long time with the light engaged. When used properly, as outlined in the Owner's Safety and Operation Manual, the Oreck Halo Flash will not damage mattresses, upholstery or other surfaces.

3. If the Oreck Halo Flash is used without continuous motion for an extended period of time, the heat protection system will shut off the UV-C bulb to avoid overheating and causing permanent damage to the bulb and its housing. If this happens, the unit must remain unplugged for thirty minutes for the UV-C bulb to cool and the system to reset.

Price: $399.95
