Mama's Blog
Tonic Shop is the hair care company that’s all about sun, surf, and style. I had never heard of it until I received an email about it. Of course I had to check it out. I went to their site and have to say their products (they have three of them), look awesome!
This is called the "Threesome" Giveaway, because I am giving away 3 Tonic Hair Care products to ONE lucky Shop with Me Mama viewer!
The first one is the Threesome: The girlfriend approved 3-in-1. It is a shampoo, conditioner and invigorating body wash all in one bottle!
Next is the Luster: For the knotty girls! Luster is a leave-in conditioning mist with powerful UV-inhibitors and natural botanical oils designed to protect hair from the damaging effects of sun, salt, wind and chlorine.
And third, The Chronic: Highest quality for all the homies. The Chronic shampoo and conditioning system is a potent formulation of superior plant-infused ingredients created to cleanse and fortify weather beaten hair. The lightweight formulas gently cleanse and restore balance while improving the overall condition of your hair with intense shine and added volume. Infused with a calming blend of flower and plant aromas.

Just wanted to let all my viewers know about this auction for Penny. She is the little girl I blogged about last week, with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. She has spent the last 3 weeks in Rady Children’s Hospital here in San Diego. She has a private insurance policy that will only cover 60% of her very expensive treatments.
This weekend, they are having a fund raising auction to help raise money for her care. Please visit Pennies4Penny.com beginning Friday morning (6am) to have your chance to bid and win on some amazing products. The outpouring of love and support for this little girl has just been amazing. They have secured donations from over 30 companies and individuals. Several of these sponsors have donated more than one item!
It is not only wonderful, but amazing when strangers online and off, come together to help support this little girl and her family! Truly wonderful!
For future reference, these are the auction terms (they will also be posted on each individual auction item):
Pennies 4 Penny is in the process of securing a non-profit tax ID number. So when you win a bid, you will be able to deduct it on your taxes. You’ll be getting some awesome deals and donating to a wonderful, feel-good, warm and fuzzy cause:
Penelope
So please stop by this weekend and have a good time out-bidding your friends, all while helping this little angel beat her cancer!

Ya, I am kind of experimenting with Cream Cheese lately! Love the stuff and so I want to see what I can make with it! So, me and hubby went to the store and bought asparagus. YUM. To me, it tastes like green beans (when they are both raw, not cooked). So, I was eating them all evening long, just raw! MMMMM!!
K, back to the wraps....
Preheat oven to 300 degrees...
So, I put out cut sandwich ham, laid it out, softened the cream cheese and cut down the asparagus and washed it. Next, I took the cream cheese and put a dollop of it in the center of the ham, took the asparagus and put it on the cream cheese and rolled it up. I did about a dozen of them (you will want to do that many if not more!). Put them into the oven for 15 minutes.
They are EASY, DELICIOUS and my kids, hubby and me loved them!!! If you have guests come over, this is such a quick and easy finger food and mostly healthy too!!! Can't beat that, right? Enjoy!

Note: the picture above is before I cooked them (before I was finished making my dozen..) They come out slightly browned :)
Hey Dude Skin Care is a line of men's skin care products. These products give your man the essential tools he needs to combat the natural effects of aging and external conditions upon his face and body. A lot of times we only think "Women" when we think of skin care products, but men need it just as much as we do, they are just not as into it as we are. Maybe it is time they should be!
My husband was sent the Hey Dude Aftershave and the Hey Dude Moisturizer. My husband normally, does not use anything on his face other than soap and water. He has never used any kind of moisturizer. When I introduced Hey Dude to him, he was kind of skeptical. He is such a guy! But, he did try it out. What he said: he likes the aftershave. It is moisturizing and sinks into his skin quickly. It does not feel oily at all. He said it also has absolutely no scent to it, none. The moisturizer he said, is a gel. It is oil free and sinks into his skin very quickly leaving it feeling soft. He felt like a girl telling me these things, so I stopped questioning him at that point. I tried it out too, on my hand, so that I could get a "feel" for it. He is right, it is nice. It has no scent, both of them do not. They both absorb very quickly. I really liked the gel moisturizer. It is oil free and made my hand super soft. I also wanted to say that I love the containers they come in. Very manly and nice.
The aftershave contains seaweed extracts that forms a protective moisturizing barrier. Seaweed extracts decrease the irritation caused by shaving and depilation. Aftershave calms and moisturizes, as well as reduces skin redness and razor burn. The moisturizer is nutrient-rich oil free gel boasting quality ingredients that include seaweed extracts and hyaluronic acid. With daily use, Moisturize will stimulate new cell growth, while promoting a natural protective barrier on your skin.
So my husbands take? He likes the products. He says he probably "could" start using skin care products, but doubts he will remember unless it is right in front of him. MEN! LOL. His skin did appear softer looking and smoother for the 2 weeks that he used it.
Hey Dude Skin Care also has other great skin care items for the men! Just take a peek on their site to see more fabulous products!

Me and my kids had the chance to review the Madeline Movie: Lost in Paris. We have watched her a few times in the past, but that is about it. Let me say, what a cute movie!
For over 70 years, she has captured the hearts and imaginations of kids worldwide. My kids love this amazing animated adventure! It is about her long lost Uncle Henri (Jason Alexander), visits Miss Clavels Parisian boarding school. Madeline is taken away and promised a wonderful new life and a family! But soon, Madeline realizes that her new life is not what she had expected. She must use her wit and courage to get back to the only real family she has ever had.
My kids love this movie and so do I. We watch it once a day! This movie is 90 minutes long and never boring.
Buy It!
You can purchase it on Amazon.com for a great price right now!
DVD release date: April 13, 2010

I was sent the Madeline Movie to review and keep. These are my opinions of this movie, thanks!
