Kelo-Cote Review

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!

I received a Kelo-cote advanced formula scar gel product in the mail for my review. I have to say I was very happy to have gotten a product & to try it out, but was a little skeptical at first because I didn't think the product would work. I mean I've been using this for a week now, and I don't see any results. It may have to take some time, but I don't know really. They have so many products out now that try & take away scars, you can only really try so much without spending a lot of money. My opinion is go to a Dermatologist and they will solve your problem right there & than after making a few visits here & there. This product is a gel type it's clear. You only need a dime size amount on your fingertip and apply to the affected areas on your body.

 I have a new scar and it says it's for old & new scars, but I just haven't seen any results. My step dad recently got his hip surgery done, so I may give him this & see what the outcome may be for him.

My Simple Clean Review

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


I was sent a few samples from My Simple Clean products. I got the following:


In this picture is the Simply Shower Gel. I wasn't to pleased about this product because it wasn't soapy at all when I had showered & used this product. It just felt like a lotion but that was a shower gel. The smell was great though lemony my favorite.

The Laundry Soap I liked it smelled really good & it washed my clothes perfectly like any other Laundry soap would do. For the lotion my husband stole from me because he liked it a lot, but I took it back and it is now hidden, lol. I love to keep lotions in my purse just to have and I love the smell lemony again. I am big on Lemon scent it just smells so refreshing to me. The spray too I almost forgot about that I leave that in the bathroom it's kinda like my refresher I love it.



 I did get two dog treats in with Chicken Jerky. The treats were really small and cute, and my dogs of course didn't eat them, but my pop-pops dog did and he liked them, so they got a good use out of them.

Okabashi Review & Giveaway

Okabashi Logo

Since 1984, we have set ourselves apart from the other major footwear manufacturers by producing a shoe that is much more than a shoe . . . to read more about Okabashi click here

I choose these Cross-Strap shoes from Okabashi to review. I love the color brown they were a great shoe for summer. I didn't get to wear them as much as I'd like to, but there is always next summer. These shoes are very comfortable they just fit me. I asked for a size 10 and they just made it. When I walk in these shoes my feet don't seem tired at all or achy and that's a great thing for me with shoes. I can't wait to show these off next summer and these would be great for a day on the beach. I just might have to get a pair for my mom because she has Lupus and her feet tend to get swollen or just tired and these would be good for her especially the clog  style because she hates open toe shoes. Might have to get me a pair of the Indigo next time (:

      Chad's Carolina Corn Chad's Carolina Corn is a family business based in Archdale, NC with one singular purpose:  make the best popcorn in the world . . . to read more about Chad's Carolina Corn click here

I was sent some samples of Chad's Carolina Corn to review. I have to say I was very happy when it came in the mail because when I opened it and saw that they had Jalapeno Cheddar I was thrilled. I love anything that is jalapeno and the taste was just beyond delicious I literally ate the entire bag that day, and didn't even have time to take a picture as you can tell above, LOL.

Jalapeno Cheddar 
This is the yummy delicious Jalapeno Cheddar.

So for the sample flavors that I got were the following:


Me and my husband first tried out these two Dill Pickle & Pumpkin Pie which the Pumpkin Pie was a little cool because I've never heard of Pumpkin Pie popcorn, so it was different and nice to try at the same time. My husband loved it a lot not so much me on the other hand. It does taste just like Pumpkin Pie which is great. Great for the season. The Dill Pickle wasn't that bad either.

 My husband Ed with his favorite Corn which was the Pumpkin Pie!

Overall my three favorite were the Caramel, Jalapeno Cheddar & White Cheddar. They all had a great taste to me, very good. I am glad I got to experience trying out all the different gourmet samples I was provided with.

 I received a litter free lunch bag kit from New Wave Enviro to review on my blog. I wanted to review this lunch box because I am always on the go with my son after school if we have a sport that day or have to do errands and such this is a great thing to have. It comes with . . . 

2 small containers
Medium container
Large container
Bottle

This is what everything looks like that was in my lunch bag kit. I love everything this would also be good for my sister who is in Gymnastics she goes all week long and she is always either eating dinner and rushing at home or bringing it with her & this would be great to put her meal in along with some snacks. Perfect! Also if when I get a job this would be great for me I like to eat healthy and don't want to waste money on anything that is gross or not healthy for myself. I could make a salad or something good & put sliced apples in the small container & a little snack in the other. I love it.


12 oz Stainless Steel Bottle
 (from website)
The other thing I got is the 12oz Stainless Steel Bottle. I love this because it's petite and small just the right the size for my 6yr old son who is in school full day. It's a pain in the butt always trying to get juice boxes and this is great because I water down juice at my house and to be honest I've been using this ever since he started school for his lunches (:

 I was even told they sell their products at my local Whole Foods Market. Great news for me I love that place!

Citizen Chef Review

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


I was sent some products from Citizen Chef to review on my blog. The 5 products I was sent were the following: Fresh Sauces- Hawaiian Pineapple BBQ, Pan Asian Orange, Thai Coconut, Limone Garlic & Chipotle Adobo.

First I tried the Chipotle if you like spicy this is what I recommend me and my husband love spicy not to spicy for me but just in the middle & this Sauce was perfect for my taste buds. I had made Tortellini for dinner and I thought this sauce would be the perfect sauce for it, so I tried it on one of my pasta and it was very delicious.


This is what I made for dinner the I than put some packaged shredded cheese on top. It was very delicious and I wanted more. I still have a lot of the sauce leftover, so happy! I didn't get to try the others, but wanted to look online for some great recipes for each of their sauces, so I cannot wait to try something new. I figured I'd give my mom the Thai Coconut because she loves Thai & Coconut. The Pan Asian would be great for lettuce wraps that I saw on their website, and they would actually be great with some egg rolls too. I can't wait to whip up some pasta with the Lemone Garlic. I love garlic, and some shrimp and a simple dinner. Thanks to Citizen Chef for letting me get to try out there fresh sauces. I am in love!

Del Real Foods Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


Our family traditions were first cultivated in a small town in the heart of Mexico. For generations the Cardenas family lived and thrived in the rich culture of central Mexico, but in 1970 they moved to the United States in search of a better future. They brought with them their love for authentic Mexican cuisine . . . to read more about Del Real Foods click here 

 I received a great package of Del Real Foods to review on my blog. First I want to introduce these pictured above they are pre packaged meals. I got 4 packages sent to me. The ones I got were Carnitas - Fried Pork, Pollo Asado - Grilled Chicken Leg Meat, Chicken Chile Verde - Chicken and Green Sauce & Arroz - Rice with Vegetables.

One night I made the Rice with Vegetables with the Grilled Chicken Leg Meat. I wasn't to found about the grilled chicken, but my husband loved it. I personally loved the rice with veggies me & my son gobbled that all up. I did pull apart some of the leg meat up with my son's rice and he did enjoy that, so he got his protein as well. I loved the rice it tasted like Spanish rice to me a little. I loved the taste there was just enough veggies in there as well. Very tasteful, yummy!

My son did a really good job eating the rice w/veggies & pieces of the leg meat that I pulled apart for him.

This was my husbands plate when he came home from dinner. He loved every bite of it!

The next batch we have are the Tamales I got Pork & Cheese & Green Chile
I wasn't to thrilled about these either so my husband did all the tasting. 

My husband eating the Pork Tamales he liked them a lot. He did take one layer off of the Tamales so he could eat it because it seemed a little off we never ate one of these before so we thought that the top layer had to come off. It made sense anyways. He said there is just enough of the pork in the tamales. He said it tasted tasty, and he liked them a lot.

The third batch we got was Salsa de Molcajete Roja &
Cheese & Bell Pepper Pupusas. We didn't try the product on the right yet, but looking forward to trying them. The salsa is good for anything really. Still have not yet tried that either, but will soon. Thanks to my husband for trying out the other products everything seemed to be great and me I loved the rice the best out of everything.

Ageless Derma (Loose Mineral Foundation) Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


I was sent the Ageless Derma Loose Mineral Foundation in Cashmere. I love how this loose mineral make up gives me a sorta glow towards my skin complexion although I did mix with other of my foundations here is a picture below:

I love how it makes my skin feel so radiant and smooth. If you are looking for some loose mineral foundation I would recommend Ageless Derma it's great for your skin. I even like this idea: Mix loose powder with Mineral Mist for a liquid foundation or with moisturizer for a creamy version.  Foundation is fine enough to use in an airbrush.  For a more opaque finish, apply Pressed Powder with our Luscious Dome or Capra Purse brush. Loose foundation should be used with the Luscious Kabuki brush to provide sheer coverage with a dewy flawless finish.  Finish by blending face with the Pink Flocked Sponge.

Tangle Teezer Review

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


I received two products from Tangle Teezer. I got Aqua Splash & a Compact Styler to review. I had no idea what the Aqua Splash was because I had asked them what that was, so I recently read on their website what it was and it's a non-slip water-loving detangling hairbrush. The hollow design makes for easy, lightweight handling, and the rounded edges allows for smooth, free-flowing detangling. This is perfect while your in the shower and want to brush through your hair to get it untangled. I haven't used it yet, but it looks like a pretty decent product. I like something like that in the shower because my hair can get in knots sometimes and it's be good to brush through.


This is the Compact Styler I got in Gold. This is a very reliable brush my son even uses this for himself and tries to brush his hair, but I end up helping him. This is very convenient brush I can always stash it in my purse. I like the decent size it comes as is.

That, coupled with her penchant for creating organization wherever she goes, makes her a natural in this business . . . to read more about Organizing Concepts & Design click here


 I received a Stock-It-Pockets to review from Organizing Concepts & Designs. I am extremely happy I get to review one of these. First off this takes a lot of my back in my walk in closet because I have a lot of shoes, make-up bags, hair accessories  you know name it. I decided not to use it for my bathroom though which I have to get another one for my bathroom though. I have this in my walk in closet though behind my door. I have a lot more room now around my closet area which is great because I hate to feel cluttered. I believe to have one of these in each room to prevent all the clutter & just more organized. Great for people who are in college also and Small Toys for your children. I put all my sandals together and put them in the bottom section since Summer is over. I put some of my make-up bags in the middle, and slippers in the second to last. I still have the top shelf empty but I'm sure will be filled soon. You know what I just thought of I could store my top shelf with goodies that I don't want the hubby or son to find, LOL. Only would I think of that, but this would also be good for a pantry door too and stick different snacks in the pockets especially for school snakes. I like that idea (:

Reyneau Review

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of
charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!



I received an iPhone Case Wallet in black to review from Reyneau. I don't own an iPhone but my sisters & brother do. I figured with their iPhone they have there girly cases, so I decided to give this to my brother for now until he gets sick of it. He doesn't really own any credit cards or anything, but he still likes it and it's black. The aluminum protects your credit cards from identity theft RFID scanners. Also the aluminum prevents deactivation of your hotel key card. Which I don't really understand. All these new products & scanners and technology these days it's hard to keep up with all the new stuff and what not. I like how it stores a lot of credit cards and my brother could even store some cash in here instead of credit cards.

Classroom Friendly Supplies Review & Giveaway

 I was sent a Cool Blue Sharpener to review from Classroom Friendly Supplies. I am pretty happy that I got to review this product because not only am I a teacher, but I am a mother and my son is in Full Day Kindergarten so we can be sharpening pencils a lot in our household. I was always sick of getting those electronic pencil sharpeners they never worked and the tip would always get stuck in there and it was just a hassle it seemed. When I got this in the mail I threw away the 2 electronic ones away literally. I didn't want to ever seem them again. My husband placed this alongside of our counter top near his school supplies that he has which I will show you a picture . . . 

 My son Nicholas has his own little corner over there for homework and supplies and stuff so I thought why not put it over that way on the counter top great place for him to reach & easy for him to get too. These are great for schools as well too I think every teacher in their classroom should have one of these sharpeners.

Ultra Sleeves Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of
charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!


Ultra Sleeves sent me some of their products to review. I got these for my Kindle HD unfortunately they didn't fit my Kindle, but they fit my brothers Kindle his is smaller version of mine so I am glad they came to use for someone.

 Just off by a little bit and it would of fit. I was so mad, but it's okay. It would of been nice to have some protection for my Kindle because my son is always putting his hands on it and I just had the fingerprints he leaves. Also would be great because if I spilled water on it or my son spilled juice on my Kindle it would be safe, so these are really good to have. They come with 10 sleeves in each package.

 They also have a line of different products that they gave me to review too which are photo albums, photo pages, and best of all a brand new line of Coupon Albums. I am in love with the Coupon Vault where it has a whole different coupon sized pockets that you can take with you shopping. I love it I try to save coupons and clip everytime I get them in the mail helps out a little for grocery shopping and it's always good to save money. I love the photo albums/photo pages to do scrap books or just big photos like a photo book. These are all great and I can't wait to start putting pictures together.

Therafit Sneaker Review


I received these Deborah Pink Athletic Shoes to review from Therafit. You all saw my review for the Therafit Sandals. Well I got to review a pair of there sneakers as well. I love these shoes although they are a little snub my feet are big for a girl, but I just started walking with a friend & I wear these every morning. They are still getting used to, so that is why I am trying to walk in them everyday. These shoes are also very light weight & soft. You don't sweat in your own shoes either they are very breathable which I like. I hate having sweaty feet I want my feet to be able to breath too. I always wanted to try out Zumba, and these shoes would be perfect to wear for a class. I can't wait!
