By now you have probably seen the chatter in the forum about our newest merchant, Kush Support, and you are wondering how and if they really work. While we haven’t had a chance to do our own Kush review yet, we did dig up a couple of videos that should give you more information.

The fact is that there are just a lot of things that women never talk about. Being uncomfortable when we sleep because of our breast size is one of them! Whether you are pregnant/nursing and not used to your size or are used to your size but just tired of the discomfort, you really should check out Kush. We’ve heard such great things and can’t wait to try it ourselves.

For now, check out the Kush videos below. The first is from Kush themselves and shows how to use the support. The second is from the Wendy Williams show where you can see the products a little bit better and hear Wendy talk openly about the need for the product and how it helps.

And don’t forget to look for Kush coupons, discounts, and cash back on Sunshine Rewards!

My kids are known for always wanting what they see on commercials, so I have become accustomed to just tuning them out. And yet they kept going on an on about this “Slushy Magic” thing until the point that I finally decided to check it out. Does the Slushy Magic really work? When I started asking around, I was surprised to find that it is actually a really cool product that other moms like!

The concept is pretty simple. The Slushy Magic comes with a shaker, 3 “magic cubes,” and a spoon straw. The cubes are re-freezable, so you can use it over and over again. You can use any liquid that you want in the shaker, including soda, juice, and even milk. It’s a fun activity for the kids and you can keep it healthy by controlling what the kids are putting in it.

I decided to go ahead and order a set for my kids and will do another Slushy Magic review once we get it. For now, check out the video below by a California television station showing moms and kids actually using it. Don’t forget that you can get cash back on Slushy Magic if you order through Sunshine Rewards.

Original Post: Want to win a $25 Amazon gift card just for playing games? Sunshine Rewards is happy to be sponsoring a new contest on Facebook featuring the Big Fish game Fairway Fever.

What is Fairway Fever? The goal of Fairway Fever is to clear as many cards as possible within one minute. Fairway Fever runs on a tournament style, where each week you compete with your friends for the highest score and longest drive. There is a tutorial in the game to show you how to play.

Rules: You must be a Sunshine Rewards member to be eligible. Our tournament starts December 5 and ends at 11pm Eastern on December 9. Visit the tournament on Facebook at: http://apps.facebook.com/fairwayfever. To have your high score registered, you MUST “friend” me (Tricia Meyer) on Facebook so that I can officially see your score.

Also, be sure to visit the Sunshine Rewards Facebook page periodically to post your scores and see those that others have posted to see how you are doing in the tournament.

The person with the highest score as of the end of the tournament wins the $25 Amazon gift certificate. The runner up will get a Sunshine Rewards prize pack of goodies.

Be careful, we are not responsible for your chores, laundry, work, and meals not getting done because you get addicted to the game! And don’t forget that you can find Fairway Fever and many other games at Big Fish. In fact, you’ll find great Big Fish Games coupons and cash back through Sunshine Rewards.

(And don’t worry that you will have stay Facebook friends with me. I only need to see your score on Friday to confirm it!)
