My Grandma's of New England 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!

Coffee Cake Buy My Grandma's of New England ®

My Grandma's of New England® started an industry in 1990 with their original Cinnamon Walnut Coffee Cake - and with good reason.

All cakes are handmade . . . to read more about My Grandma's of New England click here


My Grandma's of New England let me choose a cake to review on my blog. I was really happy and excited at the same time because of of their cakes on her website looked so incredibly good, and I was debating between chocolate chip and this blueberry, but I figured why not try something different and new instead of the same old chocolate chip, so I went with my gut feeling and picked the Blueberry Coffee Cake which my husband said to choose that one as well, and boy did I pick a winner. This cake is freshly made and blueberries are placed in the center and on top of this delicious cake. The tart berries are combined with a touch of pure New England maple syrup to produce a flavor that will bring back memories of homemade country freshness.


I loved how moist my cake was it tasted so delicious like no other cake I had before. It was so good I couldn't stop having a piece. I shared with my whole family everyone enjoyed it with a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream. Mine contained no nuts in it, but you have the option to have nuts. The blueberry mixture with the coffee crumb cake was divine. I simply LOVE My Grandma's of New England Cakes. Simply the BEST!

Mustela 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 got to pick out some products from Mustela to review on my blog. I ended up choosing the following: Facial Cleansing Cloths, Stretch Marks Care Oil & 2 in 1 Hair and Body Wash

I got two little samples of Stelatopia Moisturizing Cream for my son. I have to say I do love this product. I think my son may have some slightly dry skin on his legs/thighs so I put this product on their and it seems to be clearing up a bit but still there but it feels much better when I rub it on I cal tell a difference.

 Restructures, nourishes, soothes and rebalances dry, lipid-depleted skin, particularly eczema-prone skin.

 Around the thigh/leg area is where I always apply this product at.

The Facial Cleansing Cloths are really nice to use. No need to rinse with water they are already prepared and ready to use. I used this for my everyday use of my son's face when he is done eating his Nutella and Toast he always has a messy face. I did try it a couple of times my son is so dramatic thought it says it stings which than I used to it on my skin and it didn't.

2 in 1 Hair and Body Wash is great because it's tear free and my son is so dramatic when it comes to bath time and getting soap in his eyes or water for that matter, so I happy to use a product that is tear-free again.

I shared my granola with family and friends, and everyone fell in love. In the spring of 2009, Jessica’s Natural Foods was born. Great tasting, gluten-free granola made with all-natural, high-quality ingredients is my mission . . . to read more about Jessica's Natural Foods click here


I received a sample of every flavor from Jessica's Natural Foods to review on my blog. The kinds I got were the following: Gluten-Free Almond Cherry Granola, Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Granola, Gluten-Free Vanilla Maple Granola, Gluten-Free Cherry & Berry Granola, Gluten-Free Pecan Almond Granola & Motor City Crunch.

If anybody knows me I love granola with my yogurt it is so good and full-filling It's a great healthy snack for myself while I am at work for my break. I could eat it everyday all day for a lunch snack. My favorite granola out of these flavors would probably be the Gluten-Free Chocolate Chip Granola. I need a little bit of sweetness and the chocolate chips give me that special taste (:

My sisters friend Abigal is Gluten Free so she has to watch what she eats, but this product is also Gluten Free so I was happy to give her the Gluten-Free Cherry & Berry Granola. She actually is still getting test done to have granola but I hope she can have it because she would love it. My pop-pop actually loves the Gluten-Free Almond Cherry Granola and actually ate the entire bag in a week.

See a list of of the granola that I got and pick which one is your favorite!

Smile Brilliant 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!

SmileBrilliant! is a national dental lab designed to help our customers receive professional strength teeth whitening without ever visiting a dentist! Our lab was specifically created to curb the high cost of cosmetic teeth whitening that is charged at dental offices around the world . . . to read more about Smile Brilliant click here


I was sent a Smile Brilliant Teeth Whitening Kit to review on my blog. I was very skeptical in using this product because I don't really use these certain tools to clean or whiten my teeth. I feel you should always go to the dentist and brush your teeth for a whiter look. I did though try this for a few times not very often because I didn't like how it turned out to be honest. I am not a fan of this company or product.

 Make sure to read the steps before you start your teeth cleaning which I followed the same exact steps on the flyer I was sent with my kit. For the steps click here

I felt like I didn't really get all the gel on all of my teeth it was sorta hard to apply on because I didn't have a mirror in front of me so I just did my best at applying, but the light led which was a pain to hold for 20 minutes I only held mine for 15. Plus holding onto this after a little while my jaw started hurting so that is another reason when I stopped, but if some of you are willing to try this than so be it. Some people are different and have different opinions in using these sorts of products. I for one will not be using anything like this again! I'm not trying to talk bad on the company I just don't see the use for this. Like I said everyone is different.

I have been trying this out for weeks now and I already have felt a difference. I don't stink anymore at work when I am always walking around for either price checks, layaways etc. I didn't think this product would actually work, but boy was I wrong!

Purex® Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh 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 bottle of Purex® Crystals Limited Edition Fabulously Fresh from a group that I am on called Purex Insiders. I have to say I was always skeptical about using these crystals for laundry I don't know why I just never thought it would actually do the trick, but when I did try this product I was amazed at how well it actually works, and the "smell" is wonderful. Makes my towels and clothes smell really good and I love that. They are tiny purple crystals and you use the cap to determine your load of laundry. I always do a full load so I always fill it to the top. I love this product and the price is actually not that bad, but I don't think I would continue to buy it without a coupon.

Yay! Life! 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!


Home
 
How it all Began... It all started on a beautiful, crisp winter day in Denver, Colorado. Rachelle had put a pumpkin pie in the oven and when she took it out, Carl said, “Yay. Pie.” In his deadpan voice . . . to read more about Yay! click here
 
 
 I was sent a few selected Yay! Life! Magnets for my car on Yay! Life! I was extremely excited to get these because I love sayings and I love when I can decorate my own car, fridge, etc. These are truly the most happy little magnets I have ever seen. I love the quotes they have or sayings I should say. I picked out Yay! Coffee!, Yay! Whatever!, Yay Camping!, Yay! Chihuahuas!, Yay! Daughters!, two of them than aren't listed in the picture above were Yay! Family! & Yay! Moms!

I have three on my car the ones that I got for myself were Yay! Moms!, Yay! Family! & Yay! Whatever! those are all my favorite. I wish I would of gotten one that said Yay! Shopping! that fits me to a T (:

Here is a picture of my car with all three of these YAY! LIFE! Magnets that just make me so happy with life.

I stuck them on wherever I could find room. I spreaded them out so they weren't all together.

Yay! Coffee! I got that one for my step dad Joey. He is always going to get coffee breakfast, lunch & dinner it's unbelievable how he is LOL I always joke about it too, so this magnet fits his description SO WELL!

I got my husband the Yay! Camping! we also love camping, but my husband loves fishing too I didn't even think to look for a Yay! Fishing! that would of been the highlight of his life (:

I gave my mom the Yay! Chihuahuas! & Yay! Daughters! but the one didn't fit on her car so I put one on for now. We used to have 2 dogs 2 chihuahuas, but only have one now. We miss our Rudy so much. 

I simply love these magnets because they are so fun and different. They are only $3.50 too you can't beat that. No one has yet grabbed mine off of my car which is good because I hope no one does. That is why in the past I was skeptical about buying them in Spencer's because people would take them off your car and that is no fair at all!

These are great for anyone who has a car or simply has a fridge Yay! Life! would be happy if you purchased some for your friends/family whoever it may be. Some are hilarious too you'll get a good laugh out of, and if you know someone who loves coffee like I do and make it out to be a joke they will love it.

Lee Jeans Review

Lee Jeans is a leading international retailer and manufacturer of denim wear and casual wear. Headquartered in Merriam, Kansas, near Kansas City, Lee currently employs more than 400 people across the United States . . . to read more about Lee Jeans click here


I am always hearing such good news about Lee Jeans, so I wanted to review some great clothes from their website. For my review on my blog I picked out 4 products to review. I wanted to get something for my son, husband & mother, so I picked out the following:

For my son I picked out; Dungarees Relax Bootcut 4-7
 
For my husband I picked out; Regular Fit Straight Leg Jean - Medium Stone Length & the
Knit Henley shirt
 
For my mother I picked out; Easy Fit Spence Knit Waist Short
 
 
 My husband in his new clothes from Lee Jeans. I think the jeans fit him really nice. If anyone knows my husband well he goes through jeans like nothing else, and it was nice to get him a nice pair of Lee Jeans he likes them a lot. The shirt was nice too fit him well. 

I thought the jeans that I picked out for my son were very stylish and fit him really good. I do love the belt that comes with it. I've always needed a great belt and I finally got one. It goes on by snaps/buttons it's easy to adjust and fits great on him. I love it. I think I was more excited of the belt than he was. 

They have to make more of these belts in stores everywhere because they are the best EVER! (:

I didn't get a picture of my mom with her shorts on but she did say that she liked them but she doesn't like how they flare out near her legs she likes them to be petite in that area, but that is all she said really. Other than that they fit her well & she likes them.


Lee Jeans have a lot of great clothes for Adults & Children of all ages. I prefer there jeans over any body elses. Love how they have a plus section too for woman.

KD Novelties Review

Logo for KD Novelties

I chose the Sports Superstar Personalized Children Book from KD Novelties to review on my blog. My son just turned 7 on March 27th, and he loves sports. He is actually doing his third year of Baseball he loves it. Always asking when his next Baseball game is and everything. He also loves Basketball too outside of my mom's house the neighbor across the street has a basketball stand and he plays with all the kids. He also likes Wrestling too he wrestles my sister which is hilarious.

This is what the personalized information for the book looks like when you fill out everything they can start working on your book. Which is really cool because I showed my son and I told him what names he needed to pick out so he picked out my brother Chad his two friends Ayden & Jacob. Just a bit of information they need to create your very own book.

First page of the book. Each page talks about each different sport, baseball, football, golf, etc. I think this is cute for any little boy or girl who loves to read. 

For every new Facebook Fan that "Likes" KD Novelties and write something on their wall telling them I sent you they will write you a private message to enter for a chance to win a book of your choice. By entering the giveaway you will also get a special promotional offer to shop at their store.

Erth Mineral Makeup 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!


Erth Mineral Makeup was generous enough to send me some products on their website. I was first asked to give the following information so that they could send me what I wanted in return. Something that looks like this:


 Just so you get a better understand of what I am writing below and if you get lost or confused. This is what the order steps to get my Erth Mineral Makeup (: Than the next tab would be Eyes and I would click the down menu to go to eye-shadows than lips tab and so forth.
1 Foundation - 1.2 Mineral Foundation
1 Veil - Honey Veil
1 Blusher - Posey
1 Bronzer - Glow Mineral Bronzer
4 Eyeshadows - Copper, Mocha & Truffle
1 Lipgloss - Pepperberry

The choices that I made I think I did pretty good. I love not dark colors, but neutral and the color of the eye-shadows I love brown so I just stuck with those basic colors, and the lip gloss I didn't want a really red color, but just perfect.

So . .  I wanted to do my sister Danielle with the make up I got. A girl get never have enough make up that is for sure. Anyways here is a picture of her with nothing on.

I put on some Eye Primer that they gave me a sample of in my package. Put a dash on each eyelids.

After rubbing in the eye primer. I am not really sure what Eye Primer does my sister ask the same thing, but honestly I don't know what it does or why some people put it on. I am clueless. I read a little bit about it and you can read more too by click this link.

With the Veil on

The blush I was a little disappointed because in the picture it did seem 
a little bit more pink but it just came out really light & sparkly, but maybe the way I put
it on not enough, but didn't want to overdue it on my sister.

Which one do you like best? I like the Erth Copper so did my sister. I got all three of these because I love browns and I thought I could possibly mix them into my eyes with all three colors who knows. I am not quite good at all that but like to experiment a little and especially on my sisters.

 I think I may have used a little to much. I didn't know the color would come out so pretty and gold, but it looks okay next time I know not to use as much LOL.

I love the lip gloss I think I chose a great color it's so pretty. She looks so pretty. I loved using Erth Mineral Makeup it was really nice & I loved almost all the products I was went.
