Screen shot 2013-12-20 at 9.37.05 PM

I had the opportunity to participate in a review for Herbal Essences Naked Collection Volume Kit on my blog. I received a gift card in the mail to purchase this kit online at Walmart.com to try out for myself. It was really simple ordering it online. Clicking the link that they provided me directed me right to the link at Wal-Mart. There is no need to search through all sorts of beauty products which I know can be a royal pain sometimes. It is for me. You can have the item ship to you or pick it up from the store. I wanted to pick it up from the store instead of paying a shipping cost. I have a local Wal-Mart in my area & I am only about 5 minutes away which is great distance for me. It arrived on Christmas Eve.



The Naked Collection Volume Kit includes Naked Volume Shampoo, Conditioner, Volumizing Soufflé Styler, and Dry Shampoo.

Herbal Essences Naked Hair Care Set:
Lightweight, body-boosting formula for volumizing hair delivers luscious bounce

Obol 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!


Obol "The Original Crispy Bowl"
Most cereal bowls are not designed to be held. They are slippery, awkward and not designed for the hand. They have no grip area. There is a reason for this...the perfect bowl is not easy to design or manufacture. Size, volume and molding constraints are very challenging. The Obol is the result of two years of design work using 3D CAD solid modeling to produce the perfect bowl that finally ends soggy cereal . . . to read more about Obol click here



 I was sent two Obol products to review. I have to say my son really loved the blue Obol, and I was stuck with the red but that is okay (: Remember when you were younger and that morning routine of not wanting to get up & your parents fixing you breakfast like with your favorite cereal, but it got soggy while you trying to rush and eat it. Well I know I was one of those people. I would not eat my cereal if it was soggy. It would go to waste, and I would get a new bowl. I think Obol is the most coolest product out their in this universe, no lie! I was extremely happy to have tried out this product. I also wish that I've known about this great product when I was 10. Literally!


 I love how it's assembled. I also love the fact that I can put my favorite cereal in the top portion and the milk in the bottom. I can't describe how cool this product is because I am in love with it. I am so happy & blessed I was introduced to this as of now, and with having children I think this is great for them as well.

Petcurean 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!


We're Petcurean, an independent, Canadian-owned family business that's been around since 1999.
Right from the start, we've made Petcurean pet foods with the same love and care that we put into preparing dinner for our own families; we're epicureans. It's what we do. We think about food, and become inspired . . . to read more about Petcurean click here
I was recently sent some coupons to try out some
Petcurean Dog Food for my dogs. My mom has two Chihuahuas Rudy & Chip, and I have a dog Roxy she is mixed half chihuahua & half greyhound. We could only purchase one product at a time, so we chose this Chicken Recipe. I figured they would like the chicken because what dog doesn't love chicken. Anyways my mom mixed it up with real chicken/meat with the dry food. They seemed to like it because they ate it. I think we will stick to any type of chicken recipe because our dogs are super picky!

This recipe also features:
  • Pre and probiotics to aid with digestive health
  • Antioxidants to support increased immunity
  • Omega oils for healthy skin and coat
  • Zero by-product meals, added growth hormones or artificial preservatives
  • Zero beef, wheat corn or soy
Next time we will probably purchase the SUMMIT Original
 
Petcurean pet food seems to be healthy for our pets & make them stay active.

I chose this nice gift basket called Ultimate Golden Star Gift Tower of Chocolates from California Delicious to review on my blow. One of the main reasons why I chose this basket was because I love the look and it looked great for the holidays. Also it's filled with "chocolate" what more can a girl ask for (: I love chocolate and my family love chocolate too. Who can pass up chocolate dipped sandwich cookies, covered caramel popcorn, milk chocolate Ghirardelli squares and milk chocolate golden stars, chocolate truffles & chocolate chip cookies... So many good stuff to choose from. 

Exactly what was in my Ultimate Golden Star Gift Tower of Chocolates:
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Chocolate Truffles
  • milk and white chocolate sandwich cookies
  • English toffee, I didn't see any English Toffee in my basket.
  • chocolate covered popcorn
  • Ghirardelli squares
  • foil chocolate stars

Chocolate truffles with some Golden star chocolates which were a big hit in my family. The chocolate was pure milk and I loved every bite they were so good. I wanted more and more and more. The truffles I am not really into so my mother took them she loves truffles & milk chocolate.

The milk & white chocolate dipped Oreo cookies were amazing. I loved the white the best I have to say. My mom did too, my step dad liked the milk & so did my son. I got 3 milk & 3 white. These would make great gifts if your going to a holiday party!

These chocolate chip cookies were really good they were cute mini ones, and they were really nice & fresh & went great with some milk. My son wanted to save some for santa.

These were the famous Gold Stars that were extremely delicious. If I got a whole box of these I would of been satisfied! 

Chocolate covered popcorn, was really good. My son enjoyed them the most! 

Ghirardelli squares, my husband loved these & ate them all with my son. I didn't really care for them that much. I like the bigger caramel chews.

JOLLY TIME Pop Corn 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!


JOLLY TIME Pop Corn sent me a kit to review on my blog. Since we are in the process of moving we couldn't quite watch this adorable movie called "The Snowman And The Snowdog" when we get settled in our other home we will be able to watch it, but what I did find out YouTube has a short video clip which you can view below:

 It looks like a cute movie to watch with your family. I cannot wait!

A little description of the movie:

"When a young boy and his mother move to a new home, the boy discovers a secret box hidden under the floorboards of his bedroom. In the box, he finds a hat, scarf, some lumps of coal and a shrivelled tangerine - it's a snowman-making kit! Later that day it starts to snow. The boy builds a Snowman, and with the little spare snow left over, a Snowdog. That night they come to life and take him on a wonderful adventure. As dawn breaks they fly home, but before the boy returns to bed a magical surprise awaits him..."


The other night we enjoyed some delicious  JOLLY TIME Pop Corn we ate the Butter flavor one. It was really good. Although it could of been a little bit buttery but it was delicious for me & my son. My husband added more butter in his batch, but I didn't want the extra calories so I stuck with what I had. I also got 2 free coupons to purchase 2 more and I was looking online at their other flavors & I will deffiently get the Blast O Butter Minis & Jalapeno Butter

Haute Decor 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 the Nativity Shadow Box for a review from Haute Decor. It has two sides of scenery that you can rotate one Wise Men or the other Manger Scene. I love both scenes they look nice & different.

We wanted to see them close up, but come to find out you can place these on an end table and have it bigger shadow which is really awesome looking. I loved the Wise Men shadow much more better.

Look how cool this looks. I know some people have the outside big projector screen on their house with some of these and that looks really cool too, but the ones inside the house I think are even better because you can use it as a nightlight or something & it's really decorative that way.

Car Cache Car Storage 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 Car Cache for my review from Car Cache Car Storage. I was really hyped to get this because I own a lot of big handbags and it's always a hassle when I have to put them on top of my rest arm pad and it falls everywhere when I make a turn, and/or when I put it on the passenger side seat everything seems to fall out. It's crazy! When Car Cache Car Storage reached out to me and asked me to do a review I was thrilled because this is something to work wonders. I chose the black Car Cache. I think it's more easier now to accommodate things and not reach in the back for something or on the floor. Which may cause accidents, but I have been okay so far.

They say that necessity is the mother of invention, and this is no different for the creator of the Car Caché, Catherine Seifert.  Perplexed that there was no specific place to store her bag while driving, keeping it clean and easily accessible, Catherine was determined to solve this dilemma.  As with most inventors, inspiration struck at just the right time, and Catherine’s idea for the Car Caché was born. - See more at: http://getcarcache.com/about-car-cache#sthash.kJXJIL1V.d

For my review I picked out two products to review from Bullet Designs. The pair of earrings I chose was called the Wire Wrapped Oval Earrings & the necklace I chose is called the 25 Auto Brass Antiqued Silver Teardrop Dangle Necklace. I didn't think I would actually get the two designs I wanted or had a list of different ones that I liked on their website. I have to say I wasn't to impressed with the earrings because I tried putting them in my ears, and I had somewhat trouble the ends are very thing & delicate it seems so it sort of bent the earring part. I do like them and I got my gemstone in the middle of the bullet which is January.

A closer look at my necklace. I really like this one. I  love the design it's something totally different & very unique. I will probably give the necklace to my step dad he likes different antiques like this.

I received a Microfiber Smarter Gloves to review. I got these in these and I don't really like texting with gloves on but these aren't any regular gloves they have those mark stubs on the gloves and very easy to use with any technology like an i pad, cell phone, etc. Keep your hands nice & warm during the winter time and no need to take them off to access your phone or any other device you may have. They are really comfy too & keep my hands warm. These would be perfect for my mother because my mom always has cold hands because she has Reynolds. I might purchase a pair for her for Christmas!

-------------------------------------------------


The next product I got to review was the Restor-It Furniture Touch-up Kit. This was perfect for my parents house because they have 4 kids including myself, and my son but they had this crayon mark on their dining table for the longest time and we couldn't get it out my parents used this and I have yet to see the results, when I find out tomorrow I will snap a picture (:

PrestoPhoto Review



PrestoPhoto is the place where you can share your life and the wonderful journeys that color your living. We are an online community designed for photographers (professional and novice), scrapbookers, teachers, moms, dads, travel enthusiasts and designers to read more about Presto Photo click here

Tomoson let me do a review for this website called PrestoPhoto and I was extremely happy because I literally love making photo books. When I first went onto their website I was debating whether to do a photo-book for my family or do one as a Christmas gift, so I choose the Christmas gift idea. My family recently attended a wedding in September for our cousin who was getting married, so I wanted to capture all the great memories onto a photo-book and so I ended up choosing a Wedding Themed called "Wedding -Delicate Melody". 


I chose this theme because I thought it was very elegant & perfect and this is actually by Blue Angels , and has 25 designs. I have to admit in the beginning trying to figure the process of this layout was extremely hard for me because it was different from any other photo-book I've done in the past, but I did a live chat with someone and they were able to help me out which was terrific!



All the photos I chose from came out really nice and to my knowledge I didn't put any text in because it gave me a hard time, but it still looks nice with all the pictures and I love how the layout is with the theme I picked out.



What I thought when I do give this to my cousin's wife as a gift for Christmas I figured if she would like to write her own "text" in the space that is blank she could do that or people could sign in the book whatever she'd like to do with it and be creative.


This was the only page that came out not what I expected you can see the picture towards the right which it interferes with the one picture in the 4 pictured group top right and covers half of her face which I thought was the only picture that came out bad.


This is the end of the photo-book. I think that sums everything up. I loved creating this photo-book even though it took some time & patience for me, and getting used to their tool design and inserting pictures and whatnot. What I did thought was helpful when you select the pictures in your layout I love how it fades the pictures that you have already used in the design layout option that was really useful for me.


The back cover I chose it's so beautiful. I love this picture & it made the perfect back cover possible for my photo-book!
