Product Review : Absolute Shield Car Window Shade



The Absolute Shield Car Window Shade

(Title is link to Product on Amazon) 

I had the opportunity to test this product at a discounted price through GiveawayService.com. for my honest opinion. 

Why I tested the product: 
I was very interested because of the fact that my 6 month old loves riding with the windows down, but I always worry about her suction cup sun shade popping off the window when I let it down ... which has happened on more than one occasion due to my forgetfulness, and causing great alarm to me & the little. 

Description of Product: 
This is essentially a mesh bag that slips over the entire top of the back vehicle window. It blocks the sun & you still have full use of your windows. It is a one size fits most concept.

Installation of Product: 
It took me about 3 minutes to install both window shields on my car. It took a little bit of "finagaling" to get it to fit just right & not slide up and off the window. 

My experience & opinion: 
My husband and I were both very skeptical of this product & really worried about the blind spot issue, but neither of us have had any problems thus far. The ease of installation and not having a need to re-stick suction cups every time we get the baby in and out of the car has been a huge advantage, along with being able to roll the windows down without the suction cup shield flying into the car seat. I absolutely love this product, I had to get use to the look of the shield on my windows, but other than that it has been a life saver & if my child is anything like her mother was, it will be great in keeping flying cups and such off the roads as she gets older and we ride with the widows down. 
These will be going in every baby shower gift from now on! 

Over all, I give this product a 5 out of 5. It's useful &  it solves a problem.

I won my first sweepstakes today! 
This may not seem like a big deal,
 I don't even have an X-Box;
 but it was something I could forward to a friend who does! 
This just showed me, that my little bit of time a day is worth it! 
Keep Sweeping! 

How I sweep ...

First things first, you WILL receive a ton of junk email when entering sweepstakes, so go ahead & prepare by using an alternate email. I set my sweeps email up, then immediately updated my Google Chrome Auto-fill in settings to reflect all the information I would need for entering sweeps quickly. 

Also, utilize your bookmarks toolbar to quickly navigate to your sweeps websites. 

I then found an amazing site that had a ton of sweeps listed already, I absolutely LOVE


I will basically go through everyday & quickly enter every sweepstakes on the site; it usually takes me about an hour, sometimes less, depending on distractions. With my auto-fill set up usually all I have to do is double click in the name field of the entry & it will do the rest. 

I have also found that most TV shows have giveaways / sweeps; some of my favorites are:

Another of my favorite sweepstakes websites is:

They have amazing cookbooks & kitchen gadgets.

Remember, there is usually a grand prize, 1st prize, 2nd prize & 3rd prize to every sweeps with multiple chances to win 1st-3rd prizes. So in reality you're entering up to 10 different  



A little about me....

Hello!
I am first and foremost a mother, a wife, and then a friend.
I am an avid sweepstakes enterer (that's definitely not a word) & freebie junkie.
I have a full time job, but always have time for consignment sales, yard sales & anything free.

I am a love Jesus, and people .
I like a cold beer, but am a Breastfeeding mama, so it may be a while before I indulge again.
I have a slight obsession with organizational tools, but am surrounded by chaos 90% of the time.

I hope to use this page to talk about my sweeps wins & product reviews.
