flipflop Wines Review

This mama likes to unwind after a hard day, don’t you? A nice glass of wine usually does the trick for me. I don’t do this every night, just nights that I had a trying day…

I had the opportunity to review some great wine. It is called flipflop wines and  this wine supports a great cause too! Two good things about this wine, now doesn’t that sell you already? :) For every bottle of wine that is sold, Soles4Soles will distribute a pair of shoes to someone in need! Pretty cool, huh? I thought so.

I received 3 wines to test and try out. Yes, I have since emptied one bottle, but that was not all in a days work, so don’t worry about that. I have opened both the Pinot Noir and the Pinot Grigio. I have yet to open and try out the third bottle, which is the Reisling.

The Pinot Noir is a medium dry wine. It is pretty good and smooth. The Pinot Grigio is more of a medium sweet wine. It is my favorite so far! I love the flipflop wine website because on the pages of the wines, it says what to eat the wine with, how to serve it and where to keep it (fridge, out in room temperature, etc..). very nice to know all of that important information.

The flipflop wines are instantly likeable and very easy going. Their wine makers craft each one to reflect the best of their nature, creating expressive wines to enjoy anytime!

Buy!

Have this delicious wine delivered right to your doorstep!

Fragranced Bath and Body Collection: Lisa’s Kitchen

Lisa Price of Carol’s Daughter, launched her new fragranced bath and body collection, Lisa’s Kitchen. This aired on the HSN on March 30th. This unique product line offers HSN customers the opportunity to craft products with exclusive, customized soaps, massages, bars, scrubs, herbal and potpourri kits. These fun kits provide everything you need to create a one-of-a-kind offerings.

I received Lisa’s Kitchen Fragrance Oil Kit to review. It arrived and the package was smelling pretty fragrant. Usually that means a spill or leak has occurred. When I opened it, indeed the lilac oil had spilled out onto the papers inside. But, I saved the papers, since they smelled sooooooo good and tore them in half and put one in each clothing drawer I have. Now, whenever I open those drawers, it smells so nice and my clothes smell really nice too, mmmmmmm :) I improvised!

But, the other two oils were in tact and so I could blend and mix them together to make a scent that is produced just by me :) Unique! The fragrance oil kit comes with the Lilac, Gardenia and Rose Scented Oils.

The Kit Contains:

Lisa’s Kitchen Fragrance Oil Kit by Carol’s Daughter Includes:

* .34 oz. Lisa’s Kitchen Gardenia Fragrance Oil
* .34 oz. Lisa’s Kitchen Lilac Fragrance Oil
* .34 oz. Lisa’s Kitchen Rose Fragrance Oil
* Instruction sheet

Made in USA

These oils can be used individually, or can be blended with other Lisa’s Kitchen fragrance oils to create the strength and blend of fragrance you prefer.

I actually just use these oils in my bath, or on my wrists and behind my ears to smell good! Love these oils. You only need a TINY bit, don’t over do it!

I wish I received a full kit, so that I could have experienced the actual making of the soaps or other products. I could not do much with just the oils.

Buy It!

You can purchase the Fragranced Bath and Body Collection by Lisa’s Kitchen online at the HSN!

Sebastian Professional Color Ignite Hair Care Collection Review

My hair is thick and can get so dry, especially after I highlight it! Ugh. I have used many, many hair care products and some work really well and others not so much.

I recently got to try out Sebastian Professional Color Ignite Shampoo and conditioner. I received the Color Protection Shampoo for Multi-Tonal and Lightened Hair and the Color Ignite Multi-Tonal Conditioner. I have always thought highly of the Sebastian hair care products so trying it out was exciting to me! The shampoo is made for my highlighted and stressed out hair. It is very creamy and foams up very well. It rinses well and leaves my hair smelling really good! The conditioner is very different from what I have ever used before, because it is a mousse conditioner! I did not think that it would condition as deeply as I needed it to (with my hair being sooooo thick), but it did a fairly good job. I did have to use a lot more of it then other people, because my hair is so thick and long! I actually put it on my hair in the shower and then rinsed, then when I got out, I put another palm full of it on my hair and blended it in and just left it. My hair gets really tangled, so this really helped me brush through it easier. Oh and the conditioner smells wonderful too!

The smart color protection shampoo is supposed to target your color treated strands to deeply moisturize them and restructure the fibers, wherever it is most needed. The conditioner is a micro-bubble conditioner that will make your hair healthy and shine! The result is long-lasting color and vibrancy!

Buy It!

Crest Pro-Health Invigorating Clean Multi-Protection Rinse Test Drive!

So, I was chosen to participate in the Crest Pro-Health Invigorating Clean Multi-Protection Rinse Test Drive Program!! Yeah! Super excited to be a part of this and share my experience and my family’s experience with this!

We received a full sized product in the mail to review. It actually came a bit late, as I was suppose to post this earlier, but had to receive it and try it first! We used it yesterday and last night, then again this morning so far. The first thing I noticed about this mouth rinse was the potency of it. It is really minty and fresh tasting, and I promise about 3 hours later, I was still experiencing a fresh mouth. This was even after  I enjoyed me a can of Coke! I am so far impressed with the new Crest Pro-Health Invigorating Clean Multi-Protection Rinse! Wowzers, that is certainly a mouthful to say! Whoosh!

Typically I don’t use a mouth rinse, but both my kids do. They usually use their mouth rinse at night, after brushing. Now that we are test driving this new rinse, we use it morning and night. It is kind of “hot” for the kids, but they do use it and just rinse really fast.

So, what is your daily routine for oral care? Do you use mouth rinse? What kind?


“I wrote this review while participating in a test drive campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of Crest and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. Mom Central Consulting is sending me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”

Expressionery: Personalized Calendars (Review & Giveaway!)

CONTEST OVER! CONGRATS TO

Jenny Lloyd #27!!

I love personalized stationery, it just makes who you are giving it to, or you just using it,  that much more special. Whether it has your name or kids names on it or whatever, it makes it way more cute!

Expressionery has some really cute personalized stationery. Cute styles to choose from and they are not expensive like some places. You get a lot of cuteness for your buck.

I received the personalized calendar. Actually I was sent two of them :) That was a bonus! I got to choose which style I wanted and font as well as what I wanted written on the calendar (names of me, my hubby and kids is what I choose).

Take a Peek:

Super cute, right?!

So, if you are looking for a great Mothers Day Gift for your Mommy this year,  or YOU want something you can actually use, Expressionery has some great products!

*Calendars

*Personalized Recipe Cards (for the mom who LOVES to cook!)

*The personalized Social Calling Card (This is great to give out to teachers, babysitters and friends! These cards are able to be personalized with the names of your children, preferred contact information, or other important information like food allergies).

And many more great gift ideas! Just go see for yourselves by checking out the Mothers Day Catalog!

My Thoughts?

The ordering process was very easy and there was a lot of fun fonts and styles to choose from. It arrived in about 1 week. The calendars are very pretty and something I want to display on my wall. I love the fact that you can have your family’s name on the side or anywhere. I also liked that it has a “notes” section on the side to add anything to. It is blank on the other side of the paper, so when you are done with that month and you don’t need it anymore, you can give it to your kids to color on! Saves money and paper :) These calendars are a lot like notepads, big ones. They have lots of paper too!

I did not like the fact that it did not come with any hanger to hang it up on the wall or magnets to put onto your fridge. Those are my only complaints, but you may be able to get it like that, mine just did not come with it and I did not ask about it, forgot to!

Buy It

You can purchase personalized stationery from Expressionery, just visit their site to see all their goodies!

Win!

One lucky person is going to win a personalized calendar! Winner gets to choose style too!

How?

Easy! Just visit Expressionery and browse around, then come back here and let me know what style of calendar you would choose if you won! Mandatory Entry!

Wholesale Costume Club

Costumes are not just for Halloween anymore, just ask my kids! They dress up almost everyday with something from their closet or mine. They love dressing up and sometimes I do too! I will put on a silly dress and some funny shoes and parade around that house of ours indoors and out! My neighbors probably think I am a basket case, but I don’t care :)

Wholesale Costume Club has loads and loads of costumes, all different sizes and fun themes to choose from. From boys Halloween Costumes to Adult Humor Costumes, they have something for everyone.  How about throwing yourself or your child a theme party? You can do this anytime of the year. Just invite and dress up! Have fun with it.

My son’s favorite costume you ask? Well the Darth Vader one of course! Has he worn it every day since it arrived? Yep. Every. Single. Day. The Darth Vader Costume is awesome! It comes with the mask, the jumpsuit, a tie on belt and cape. Everything a boy needs to be Darth Vader! My son cracks me up. He will have me put this on him and then he will stand around corners that I am sure to go around and just stand there silently. It kind of freaks me out, but in a fun way, LOL!

The Darth Vader Costume has one thing that I had to fix, that was the little velcro on the cape. It was not sewn on there real good, so I just added a few more stitches and now it is all good!

The costumes on Wholesale Costume Club are priced very good. They are inexpensive and I was surprised at how much stuff the Darth Vader Costume came with, for the price it was at. Great deal and definitely a fun thing for my son! I will have to get something for my daughter now, because she is quite jealous of her brother having a new costume and she has old ones, lol. And, the selection of kids costumes are great!

With Easter coming soon, why the heck not but a bunny costume and surprise your kids?  Be silly and fun and young again! Why the heck not?! Have an adorable pet whom  you love to dress up? Well, buy them a cute little costume to parade around the neighborhood in. It will surely turn heads!

About Wholesale Costume Club:

Wholesale Costume Club is an innovative new concept in costume shopping. We are the only costume website on the internet that lets you purchase Halloween costumes at wholesale club member or non-member prices that are below the lowest retail prices you’ll find on any online costume store.

You don’t even need to be a member, although for a very low $5 fee you can become a member and save even more on costumes. Membership has a clear advantage even if you only purchase one or two costumes a year. However, the more you buy the more you save. So, if you have a large family this is the place to shop for Halloween costumes! Also, if you are from a school or other type of organization, this is the best way to buy costumes and stay within a tight budget.

Buy It!

You can purchase these inexpensive costumes, by visiting their site at http://www.wholesalecostumeclub.com/

Big Event Fundraising: Better Rewards, Bigger Results!

I remember when I was a student and we would have assemblies, speakers would come in and try to get us all pumped up for a new school fundraiser that they were trying to get us all involved in.  At first we were all so excited! I mean, prizes were involved and who does not want prizes for getting the most money together for the cause, right?!

We have the knowledge and experience needed to help make your school fundraising program a success. We offer a large variety of school fundraising brochures from gift wrap, to licensed brand items, to frozen food and cookie dough fundraisers. Big Event Fundraising takes a great deal of pride in helping groups raise the money they need.


Wrong! Once the prizes were shown, what we could get if we got a certain amount of people to donate, were just plain dumb! One of the prizes was a plastic ball. How on earth is one suppose to bounce a PLASTIC ball?! The motivation in that gym sunk like ten notches! If only there was better prizes to be won more people would have been more into it. Yes, kids NEED motivation, we all do!

Big Event Fundraising does just that. They provide awesome prizes for fundraising, just like the one I explained to you above. No piddly toys or PLASTIC balls that don’t bounce, Big Event Fundraising has some pretty cool prizes/awards you can earn.

Big Event Fundraising works directly with you to create  your school fundraiser and motivate the people so you can be successful and exceed your fundraising goals!

As your school fundraiser partner and before your event starts, you will receive:

*Individual School Fundraising Packets

*A school fundraising kickoff supply kit

*And, they do ALL the work of preparing you for a smooth and easy fundraising delivery!

Oh, and the prizes for your helpers to win, are AMAZING!!! Talk about incentive to work hard and help out! You can choose between the following:

*Super Party

*Super Splash Party!!

*Magic Show

*Reptile Adventures

 

And MORE!!! Talk about unique and fun! Where was this when I was in school??? Did I mention that they have some pretty neat School Fundraising Products too? They do!

 

From cookies and frozen foods to specialty mugs, home decor and more! Super fun products that everyone would want. No cheap things that people would pretend that they wanted.

Request your free brochure and see what Big Event Fundraising can do for you! Don’t forget to connect with them on Twitter and Facebook too!!
