I have never taken a CPR class. Now that I have small children, I have always wanted to, but with only one car and my husband always working, I find it hard to even get out of the house! CPR is something every parent, caregiver and grandparent should know, heck every person needs to know how to do CPR.

I came across a really neat website and asked them if I could review for them. They said yes. I was sent a CPR Teddy to review. When I received it in my mailbox, it was kind of funny, the package was talking, LOL. The mail lady was probably thinking, OK, what is she getting now, haha!

I opened it up and inside was an adorable teddy bear with a CPR DVD. Was very excited to watch the DVD and include my children in this review. I was excited to learn with them, you are never to young to learn anything. This teddy bear helps you practice and learn infant/child choking rescue and CPR skills.

The CPR teddy only became available in October of last year, so it is fairly new on the market. The CPR Teddy products comply with current guidelines for CPR, so that is nice to know! Just attach this cute 8" bear to a baby's stroller, diaper bag, play pen, or car seat and rest easy knowing you can review the steps for choking rescue and CPR anytime and anywhere!

Tid bits about the CPR Teddy (taken off their site):

• Practice your Infant/Child (0 to 8 years of age) choking rescue and CPR skills at home
• Place in child's room as constant reminder of your skills
• Test your babysitter's skills
• FREE CPR & First Aid training DVD with every order

About the CPR training DVD (taken off their site):

• This Infant and Child CPR & Choking Rescue Training DVD is designed for parents, grandparents, babysitters and other non-medical professionals who care for children. The information provided is based on the newest Guidelines published by the American Heart Association, the American Red Cross, and the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation.
• This DVD provides instruction on Infant (0 to 1 year of age) and Child (1 to 8 years of age) CPR, Choking Rescue, and First Aid. It also provides tips for Childproofing Your Home & Car. Topics include but are not limited to: safety in the nursery, car seats, poison look-a-likes, and common choking hazards.
• Easy to understand, step-by-step instructions are explained by a master instructor in everyday language. Instructions are accompanied by clear demonstrations on infant and child manikins. Practice sessions follow each segment of the DVD so you can review what you've learned.
• Instruction is also provided on how to use CPR Teddy. Viewers of the DVD are continually urged to use CPR Teddy to practice these skills as they are watching the DVD. Research shows that you are more likely to remember your skills over time if you can practice those skills as you are learning them.

As you can see, this is a great teddy to have around your home! Not only does it help you learn CPR, it is also a fun way to learn it and actually remember it. The DVD is very thourough and the teddy bear is a great reminder of your CPR skills. Keep it close by "just in case". My kids also loved to play around with it too. I finally feel confident that I know CPR and what I need to do in case of an emergency. The teddy bear will tell you how many chest compressions you need to give and what to do next, very useful.

My take? Of course I am going to say I like it, it just helped me learn something I would not have otherwise known until I went to a CPR class. I love how fun the little bear makes this and the DVD is full of great information. I think that it is a great thing to have around your home. I also like how the bear itself completely instructs you on what to do and when, step by step. The only thing that annoyed me a bit was that when I first got this, I had no idea how to turn it off, and it was annoying! But, I figured it out. You just push the heart once and it shuts off, whoosh!

This would make a great baby shower gift for the newly expecting parents or any parents! This is one of those gifts that people don't really think about, but when you get it for them they think "wow, this is an awesome thing to have" and then they tell everyone about it.

I was sent the CPR Teddy to review and keep. These are my own honest opinions about this product, thanks!

During winter, my skin not only is dry it is PALE! Ugh! The last color of summer faded by the end of October and by the time January is here, I am white and want some color. I was very excited to be able to try out Antidote Skin Care Self Tanners! I have used every self tanner you can think of, literally, and have found a few that do the job right, the rest, forget about it!

When the trial sized bottles arrived, I was eager to try them out on my pale, milky skin. I was sent the Summer Glow and the All Seasons Glow to try out. What I first liked about these products when they arrived was that they came with gloves. This is a MUST when applying self tanners! So that was great. Oh, and they also both came with a little candy! So cute :)

I first used the Summer Glow Sunless Tanner lotion. I absolutely loved the scent of this lotion. It reminded me of a mans cologne, but very, very subtle scent not overpowering at all. Very nice, considering almost all other self tanners I have tried smell gross or the scent turns gross after a couple hours. This lotion carried the nice scent through the processing phase and still came out smelling nice. I love that! So, back to the beginning (got ahead of myself here..) I put the gloves on and squirted it out onto my face first and worked it down from there. When you put it on, it immediately is brown, dark brown. You have to make sure you rub it in really good. I had an old rag next to me to help blend in the unblendable areas, like knees, elbows and jaw line. When I was done applying it to my face and body, I took off the gloves and took the old rag and squirted a bit of the self tanner on the rag and applied it to the tops of my hands, that way there is no washing of my hands and any chance of water getting on my freshly tanned skin :) I put this on at night, just be sure to put on old p.j.'s because it will stain!!!

What it looks like:

Right After!

So, immediately after I put the lotion on, my skin was bronzed and sunkissed looking, I looked like I just came from a wonderful vacation! In the morning I was a little more tanner. I took a shower and some of it came off, but it was a perfect amount that stayed on. I love how it makes me look so healthy and tan! I seriously love this sunless tanning lotion! I really wanted to get a picture of my before and after picture, but with my daughter spilling water on my laptop and my camera batteries dying, it was just too much for me to deal with at the moment. But, I will add pictures soon, promise!

Now the All Seasons Glow Sunless tanner, is a gradual self tanner. This is more for the "not so sure" people who don't have a lot of experience with sunless tanners. It comes with gloves and you just apply it everyday or everyother day like you would your body lotion, after a bath or shower. After 2 applications you will start to notice a nice glow, subtle and perfect for those who are unsure of sunless tanners. I use this regularly on my legs to keep them nice and tanned.
