Axe

I was give some Axe products for my husband to try. I also got hairspray for me. Well I gotta say I love the hairspray. I use a little bit and it holds my hair all day. I hate when I have to weigh my hair down with hairspray. Though with Axe it was light and left my hair manageable. Which is perfect. And the smell was great too... I found my new hairspray thanks Axe.

Now for my husbands experience... He got the Apollo collection. He loved the way the body-wash tingled while cleaning. LOL. He said he felt so clean after using it. He also loved the 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner . He said his little bit of hair felt so soft after use. (he has a buzz cut). So really no need for conditioner... The deodorant kept him feeling fresh and clean all day. And well for me I loved how he smelled after taking a shower. It was a pleasant smell throughout my bathroom.

Now if Axe can make a women's line, it be awesome. I love the smell of the Apollo Collection.  So if you have a husband or boyfriend and you want a GREAT smelling guy.... Go get him some Axe Apollo Collection products.

Thank you so much for making my husband smell better than ever before Axe!!

Newman's Own Organic

I was given some products for free to review. All the products were great. Most people hear organic and think yuck. I use to be one of them. I try to feed my family, healthy. Though it is not always the easiest. Well Newman's Own Organics has made it a little easier for me, with their new line NOO. All the products I tried surpassed my thoughts and taste. Of course everyone in my house had their favorites. So I will tell you about those now.

My favorites were the Organic Pretzels thin sticks. They were lite on salt and big on flavor. Which is what I love. They are the perfect anytime snack. Made from organic unbleached wheat flour, organic brown rice syrup, organic sunflower oil, salt, yeast, and soda. They are a healthy alternative to regular pretzels which have a high salt intake. These NOO organic pretzel sticks have only 1.5 grams of fat, 110 calories, 180 mg sodium, 22 g carbohydrates, 4 g dietary fiber, 3 g protein and NO SUGAR per 30 grams of pretzels (about 22 sticks). I LOVE THIS!!!

My kids favorite was the NOO Newman-O's. They loved dipping them in milk. The kids fought over who was gonna hold the pack at the table. So I took them away and just gave each a few. The cookies have BIG flavor in every bite. My youngest took his a part and eat the cream then the cookie. I thought that was just so cute. Though I couldn't get a picture as kept swarming so I couldn't. I will buy these great awesome healthy cookies for now on.

My husbands favorite was the NOO Oatmeal Chocolate chip cookies. He took the bag to work with him. So he didn't have to share. LOL He said he loved them because they didn't taste like they were healthy for him. He hates anything that is organic, if he knows it. So it was shocking when he kept bragging about the cookies. He finally brought the bag home with a few left. When I tried it I had to read the package as they did not taste organic at all. Though they are. Such a little cookie with such a great texture and BURSTING FLAVOR! I usually don't eat cookies but now I will eat NOO Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies.

And last the whole family loved the Sour Licorice Twist. They are not very sour but are bursting with the flavors. I tried the sour strawberry, sour apple and sour mango. I loved all of them and so did the rest of the family. Also don't forget the chocolate. I tried the Super Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cups, Super Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, and the Milk Chocolate Caramel Cups.

Needless to say everything we got to try was BURSTING with GREAT FLAVOR!!!!! Also on a side note the person I had the honor to work with was such an AWESOME, SWEET, GREAT & VERY FRIENDLY. I had some problems and she fixed them quickly and made sure I was happy. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! (You know who you are)

I will be doing a giveaway for a few items so keep your eye on my blog. Thank you all very much.

CheriBundi Review & Giveaway

I was given a case of this great juice. I love cherries, so I knew I would love this. It is tart and sweet at the same time. I also tried their 7 day challenge. I thought it would be hard to do.. And well it wasn't. I did complete it. I think this is a great way to clean and restore your body. The first day you drink two of the cheribundi drinks, then one a day for the next six days. I think this is perfect for anyone. Whether you are a runner, mom on the go, business professional, or a do it yourself person, this is the drink you need.

I do a lot in my everyday life. I am a mom, a runner, a do it yourself-er, and a Chef. I don't always have the time to take care of muscles/body. So when I got this to try it was perfect. I can just grab one of these perfect size bottles and keep going. After the first couple days I started feeling better. My muscles/body didn't hurt as much and I felt more relaxed. So again if you are to busy to take care of your muscles/body then give this a try.

Dizolve Review & Giveaway

So I was give a box of Dizolve to review. At first I thought how could one little strip clean a whole load of laundry. Well I used it today for the first time, and I liked it. My clothes smell clean and even some of the stains were gone. It is ultra concentrated so you use a lot less. Each strip contains the perfect amount for one load of laundry. NO MORE MEASURING!! Some of its other perks are its healthier, more economical and its safer for our planet. LOVE THAT!!! I can't use a lot of laundry soaps due to allergies. With Dizolve it hypoallergenic, free of 1,4-dioxane, phosphate free, biodegradable, and safe for your septic. Also GREAT!! It is so small that if you have to go to the laundromat to wash clothes, this is much easier.  Most Americans use more liquid detergent than is need. Meaning lots of money wasted. I personally HATE wasting money. (it doesn't grow on trees) :(  So if you hate wasting time and money, then Dizolve is for you. It just makes sense. Who wouldn't want an easier way to wash clothes. And save money while doing so.
Dizolve also has a fundraiser program which helps support different fundraiser for groups like schools and Sierra Club Canada. #dizolve @mydizolve

Dizolve has also offered to give one lucky reader a year supply. (6 boxes of 72) So make sure you enter the giveaway below via rafflecopter.

Bart's Cookies Review & Giveaway

Who doesn't love cookies??? Well I am very picky when it comes to my cookies. I usually only eat homemade (mine) cookies. Though when I received these Bart's Cookies to review, I said sure I'll try them. As soon as I opened my box I had hands waiting for cookies. They were a hit with the kids, the husband, and even the cousin. I had to fight just to get one for myself. Ok I didn't only because I hid 12 of the cookies, just for my late night snack. These cookies say they are bite size but I got 3-4 bites out of one. They are plump perfect little cookies. They have perfect texture, not too hard, not too soft. And the chips used in the cookies are huge. These cookies are full of flavor. Every bite I took was like a little party in my mouth. As I sit here writing this review my mouth is just water for more. I think I might of become a Bart's cookies ADDICT.. Is that bad??? Well I don't think so, but my diet does. I might have to just run a couple extra miles by the time I finish these cookies. I thought I could control myself, but like everyone else in my home I can't. My favorite is the white chocolate chip. The husband loves the peanut butter chocolate chip ones. And well the kids, they loved both. #bartscookies #cookies @bartscookies

I am very EXCITED that one of my readers will get a chance to try a dozen of these GREAT cookies for themselves. Make sure to enter via the raffle copter below.

Thera Fit Giveaway

I am happy to be helping with this AWESOME GIVEAWAY!!! I love the style and colors of these shoes. I can not wait to try a pair for myself. They look so comfy and stylish. Make sure to read the great review as well. This one is a good one. Good luck everyone!!!

Therafit Shoes Review/Giveaway (8/26-9/9)

When I chose the Therafit shoes for this review.. I was thinking they are very cute and I love them for that but are they really going to be different then any other pair of shoes I have had before? I am here to tell you that the design of these shoes is not purely for looks but they really hold up to the claims they make about comfort. I get really tired achy feet when I walk or anything else so I don't walk or run nearly as much as I should. I decided I was going to take these shoes for a test run on a walk with my boys one night. I didn't really have high expectations because I have tried many shoes that claim to provide comfort. We started off around the park and it was going as normal just kind of walking around and then it turned into the next street over and the next one before my boys were telling me their feet were getting tired. I haven't walked that far in well for as long as I can remember. I really think the secret to these awesome shoes has to do with the adapters. It comes with three of them and you can use one, two or all of them. I personally like all three of them being in because of how much shock they absorb and the support they give me. I have actually found me wearing these shoes more often then I wear any other type of tennis shoes I have. I am big on wearing sandals so it is really saying something when I like another type of shoes. They also have really cool microbe shield that controls odor, staining and deterioration. I haven't had them long enough to really tell you if this shield holds up but honestly I have wore them out multiple times and they don't stink like my other shoes do at all! I did remove the adapters just to see how easy or hard it was to remove them and let me tell you it literally takes seconds to adjust the comfort on these shoes. I know I have mentioned it a little above but I for sure have to include how cute these shoes are I love the Black with purple and pink. They are so fun and so girly and I love wearing them out everywhere I go. I have gotten many compliments on them from fellow mom's about how they love the way they look and then I have to brag up about how they make my feet feel! I really recommend these to all those women and mom's out there who are constantly on their feet. Whether you are looking for a great shoes for exercising, walking or just to provide everyday comfort these would be a great choice! One thing I do recommend when I was ordering these they let me know they do run a little bit small so they recommend that you get a 1/2 size bigger then what you normally wear.  

Therafit doesn't just make tennis shoes with the awesome adapters they make sandals too how cool is that!?

They also have so many different colors and styles!

There is truly something for everyone!

I also want to shed light on the fact that the awesome people over at Therafit are helping to bring you comfort but that they are also helping in other ways!

For every purchase made on Therafitshoe.com They will donate $1 to the selected charity of your choice! How cool is that!?

HBL Haircare Review/Giveaway (8/24-9/7)

I am excited to help out a friend with this HBL Hair Care giveaway. This is a great new product. Read her review below and make sure to enter the giveaway. Good luck to all who enter.HBL Hair Care is offering one lucky reader a Revitalizing System of their very own. I can't wait to try this new HBL Hair Care.

When I found out I was being sent the Revitalizing Hair Care System from HBL Hair Care I was really skeptical. I've always thought that shampoo isn't something worth really investing in and with a price tag of $62.90 this stuff can't possibly be that great can it? Well, I'm here to tell you that it is that great. I have a lot of hair, and a large obsession with coloring my hair. It's damaged, dry, and brittle from many rounds with hair dye. This stuff made my hair shiny, soft, and manageable! I'm a busy mom of 3 little boys and this made my hair so easy to work with, turning my morning routine from fighting my hair to something similar to those cheesy shampoo commercials (ok, I'll admit it. I shook my head back and forth in front of the mirror just to watch my hair shine and bounce). HBL Hair Care offers the following description on their Revitalizing Treatment: Cleanse, condition and revitalize weak, brittle and damaged hair with the HBL Revitalizing System. Enhance your HBL cleansing and conditioning experience by adding Revitalizing Treatment to your hair care routine. Designed to enhance any conditioner or chemical service, Revitalizing Treatment works to repair and strengthen for healthy, beautiful hair. They don't lie, my hair is strengthened and it feels a lot healthier than it did before I started the treatment. It smells great, and anything that can tame my wild mane is a win in my book. HBL has many other products for different types of hair so if the Revitalizing isn't for you check out their many other hair products there is something for everyone! The next product I am really interested in giving a try is the Hair Masque. Be sure to check out and connect with HBL haircare: http://www.hblhaircare.com/ https://www.facebook.com/HBLHairCare https://twitter.com/HBLHairCare http://www.youtube.com/user/HBLHairCare   The kind people over at HBL Haircare want to continue to shower the love and give one of my lucky readers a chance to try the very same haircare package I did!

Food Should Taste Good Review & Recipe & GIVEAWAY

So I was given some of these great new HEALTHY chips/crackers. I will admit at first I was query. When I want chips, I want the bad for you chips. Though after the first bite of the Kamhi chips, I was very impressed. Next I knew I just had to get my hands on that bag of Lime & Sea Salt tortilla chips. (they are also a cracker. So I decide to open them up and make some nachos.

The perks of eating these chips.... First they are healthy for you. I know you are all thinking healthy food usually taste bad or leaves behind an after taste, these don't. I like that they are a chip and a cracker at the same time. They have a great selection of flavors.

The name says it all. Food Should Taste Good. And well they chips live up to there NAME. I don't know of any other chips/crackers that live up to there name. I also looked at my look grocery store and there they were. Looking at the price of them they are a GREAT VALUE.
