Pura d'or Argan Oil Product Review & Giveaway




Disclosure: I received a product through Brand Backer for this promotion mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!



I have to say it's been quite some time since I fell in love with Argan Oil it's really good for your skin/hair/nails for myself anyways everyone is different. I love the product generally it is expensive for some different other products. I did fall in love with the Argan Hair Products and they are a bit pricey. I recently got sent a product to review from Brand Backer they sent me the Pure and Organic Argan Oil and I am in love with the product already and I have only been using it for 3 days now. One of the main reasons why I use this Oil is for my hair after I wash my hair and brush it out I do take a couple of pumps onto my hand and massage through my scalp and hair it makes my natural curly extra smooth and curly and I just love the way my hair looks after I use it.

 It's a clear color and it's very silky smooth it did feel a bit to greasy on my hands, but it did eventually go away, or whatever they may call that afterness of oil when it's left on your hands I really can't think of the name, sorry. Here is a picture below of how my hair looked when I had put some Pura d'or Argan Oil on (:

 My hair isn't so frizzy and I like the way it feels after it's all dried it's also used for damaged hair I wouldn't say my hair is that damaged I mean I did use to straighten it awhile ago with a hair straightener so that is probably the only reason why it's damaged. It looks very natural with the Argan Oil in it and I am happy about that. I also put some on my scars that I have as well it's hard to see a difference within 3 days, but I will continue to try and put it on but I love this product more for my hair I can never have enough of Argan Oil (:

Dial Kids Hand Soap & Dial Baby Body & Hair Wash Review


Disclosure: "The Dial" brand provided me with a sample of Dial Baby Body+Hair Wash and Dial Kids Foaming Hand Soap in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed here are my own.


I received the Dial Baby Body + Hair Wash & Dial Kids Foaming Hand Wash to review on my blog. As many of you know I am Purex Insider. I love reviewing these types of products because they are family body wash for kids and baby. Although I don't have a baby living with me I still manage to use the Dial Baby, body + hair wash because my son will use any kind of shampoo for his hair and body wash I like how it's mixture of both. I always encourage my son after school to wash his hands, so I told him he has his very own Dial Kids, foaming hand wash to make it a little more fun with the foam and washing his hands after each time he uses the restroom.

He's happy he gets to be involved with my reviews as well. I can't say he loves to always get his pictures taken, but I love taking pictures of him with the products that are eco friendly. Although I didn't get any pictures of him washing his hands he's really happy to use the foam hand wash and he loves the watermelon scent, and he thinks it's totally cool! 
We love Dial Soap!

Candy Adriatico March Box 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!


Many of you know my last subscription box I did was for the month of February and you can find my review here if you'd like to see it. I'm happy to announce my March Box of Candy Adriatico which I am also pleased to review and have gotten to try more goodies out.

 So I bet all of you are thinking what is in my delicious March Box well I will give you a full description of what is it in below:

L – Originale CIOCORI Classico- Delicious and crunchy snack of chocolate and milk with rice comes from Italy..
This was really good it was kinda like a crunch bar for us in the United States, but I think this tasted much better from Italy of course!

 ---------------------------

Mini Jaffa snack bars from Slovenia – The Gorenjka biscuits with their more than 50-year tradition have been very popular with the gourmets particularly due to their high quality. A tender and succulent cake forms the basis of the products that are additionally enriched by fillings and stuffing of various flavours.


Slovenia, filled with orange jelly and coated with chocolate. My husband loved these me on the other hand not so much. I'm not a big fan of orange jelly and chocolate together. 

 ---------------------------

Bauli from Italy – Soft and irresistible puff pastry Croissants by Bauli contain a gentle and delicious vanilla filling. Croissant Browse Soft is also ideal for a light snack and nutritious at all times of the day.

This was actually pretty good, but could use more of the vanilla filling in the center there was only maybe a quarter size amount which isn't that great when I love fillings. The croissant itself was very good though. Although when I tasted the center and didn't see any thing left else inside I gave to my husband.

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

Ferrero SpA is an Italian manufacturer of branded chocolate and confectionery products and it is the biggest chocolate producer in the world. It was founded by Pietro Ferrero in 1946 in Alba, Piedmont, Italy. One of a number of lines, which are produced, it is also Kinder. Kinder Bueno Mini, delicious layer of crispy wafer, milk chocolate and hazelnut milky filling of Kinder Bueno. One bite, one sweet heaven!

Kinder bueno these are my FAVORITE these are so creamy and decadent and I am in heaven every time I have these I'm addicted I need to order like a million of these just to have at home. Mini layer of crispy wafer, milk chocolate and hazelnut filling.

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

Silk hazelnut candies – This time we sent you candy from line of Šumi – Silk hazelnut. ŠUMI Silk hazelnut from Slovenia is a special hazelnut shaped candy which offers a true nostalgic value of the flavor. In the centre of its, you’ll find gentle buttery cream with real hazelnuts and this is a perfect combination for the true gourmets. Try it and it will persuade you.
These were really creamy and delicious. They are filled with real hazelnuts too which is a nice surprise afterwards. I gave some to my residents and they also loved them as well.
 
---------------------------

Kraš Bonko  Croatia – Under the brand Bonk we have a children’s line of caramel and candy. New flavors, contemporary flavors and adding vitamin C in some flavors that this product line, better and better. Bonko fruit caramel perfect blend of popular flavors of four children (pineapple, strawberries, lemons and apples) and vitamin C.

 These were fruity and delicious as well. I liked them a lot nice and chewy and good. I gave my husband all the green ones because I don't really like the taste of apple chewy candies that much. The strawberry was my favorite.


Overall everything was very delicious and I love trying different culture candies it's the best so far Italy wins with me or has my vote at least (:

KuKuRuZa Gourmet Popcorn 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!

This passion for new taste experiences is what gave birth to KuKuRuZa in 2004. It began with small batches over our home kitchen range, then it was specialty popcorn equipment in our garage, and finally we moved into our first retail shop. We like to think we've been pushing the culinary envelope of popcorn ever since . . . to read more about KuKuRuZa click here


First of all I have to say I love gourmet popcorn I don't like the boring buttery popcorn. I like my popcorn with a POP and very delicious savory popcorn taste. I got to variety pack with a few varieties of their KuKuRuZa Gourmet Popcorn which they included their Hawaiian Salted Caramel & Seattle Style, as they're signature flavors than I got to choose five other flavors and I ended up choosing the following: Jalapeno White Cheddar, Sour Cream & Onion, White Cheddar, S'mores, Fancy Nut Caramel. Although the Sour Cream & Onion is one of their March Seasonal Specialties it's only available for the month of March.


The two flavors I tried first of course were the Sour Cream & Onion and the Jalapeno White Cheddar. My favorite out of those two would probably be the sour cream & onion it had a lot of the flavor on there what I like the jalapeno white cheddar could of used a bit more in my liking, but it was a bit spicy don't get me wrong. I love an extra kick.

I did try the White Cheddar as well it was very good. I love anything that has to do with White Cheddar it's really good and I'm addicted. The S'mores I got for my son he loves S'mores so I figured he'd like it, but he didn't get to trying it he's been to busy outside playing or doing school work and baseball, etc. Boys will be boys. On the other hand I love the Fancy Nut Caramel really sweet and delicious. I have them stored at my job so I can munch on them as a snack when I get hungry or want something sweet.

Check out KuKuRuZa other gourmet popcorn flavors,


ikiki Review

I received two pairs of shoes from ikiki and yochi yochi to review on my blog. I've never heard of this company before, but I love reviewing different shoes if it's for me or my son or my friends kids who I adore. I love to accessorize them and make them look stylish a cute. With that being said I chose the Princess Sakura shoes and they also sent me a pair of Mr. Barkles shoes to review as well.

They are both adorable shoes for any children especially the blue dog they are so cute and I just love the pink pandas they are adorable as well. I've had the experience to feel inside the shoes and they seem very comfortable and roomy and soft. I can't wait to get a picture of Aleeah wearing these both. I will snap a picture once I've gotten a picture from her father to post on here as well. Same goes for the blue dog ones as well. I want to try and give someone the blue dog shoes to a boy who would like them as much as I do, but all my friends have new baby girls no boys, so we will see.

Take a look around for other different shoes ikiki have to offer,

Digital Meat Thermometer Review

Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Reference ID: pm802a5fd4efb36391dfa8f1991fd0f849


I received a Digital Meat Thermometer to review on my blog. When I cook I usually just cook it and don't bother with a Thermometer but for some reason I've started to use one ever since I got this cool waterproof digital meat thermometer it's easy to read and use. I like the bold numbers it shows when you insert it into the meat it gives an accurate response within seconds. We live with my grand-pop so he usually does all the cooking so I gave this to him and he likes it a lot actually it's easier for him to use, and you can take it anywhere you please because it's handy and small and it'd be great for outdoor parties if you go to the park and they have grills good for handy barbecuing.


Neutrogena® Naturals Review #WipeforWater


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 had received Neutrogena Naturals to review on my blog #WipeForWater. If some of you know me I literally never ever use make up remover to remove my make up I actually just let it sit on the entire night when I go to bed, but than again I rarely ever wear make up especially if I am at work or going out to the store. Who do I have to impress? Nobody really I am a married woman and I just don't see the need to put make up everyday that also leaves me to break out when I use certain products, but when I feel the need to wear make up I usually get a washcloth and run under warm/hot water and wash my face, but when I was introduced to Neutrogena Naturals I was very surprised because I love using wipes they are easy and very convenient in my everyday life. I really really love this product it smells good and leaves my skin feeling nice and smooth and clear. I had no problem using this product it works wonders and removes dirt/oil and make up as well.

This is what one towelette looked like before I used it.

 What it looked liked after I took off my make up. Very huge difference.

I had a little bit of foundation on and more of eyeshadow and eyeliner on my face. My face feels great after a weeks use of these Wipes and I am so happy to have experienced and used them for a review (:

Faye's Cake Pops 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!

Faye's Cake Pops

I had officially "retired" from my big girl job after our 4th child arrived in 2011. And to keep myself busy, I started playing with the new cake pop trend. The first month or so was pretty disastrous, but the kids loved eating them no matter what they tasted like! . . . to read more about Faye's Cake Pops click here



I always heard about Cake Pops, but never really had actual time to make them or the patience I should say. I did end up getting a Cake Pop kit before which was easy to make with my son and sisters, but these are by far the best I've ever tried. I don't usually buy cakes or anything, but it was my son's birthday and I just had contacted this company called Faye's Cake Pops I am really happy I was sent these Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles which my son loves and the kind of cake I chose was Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough my son loves that Ice Cream flavor so I figured I'd get him the cake mix and he wanted it so it all worked out great. You can check out other many flavors they ~~~> http://www.fayescakepops.com/by-flavor-12-ct.htm

I loved how moist these were and the flavor was very delicious let me rephrase that the Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough was delicious. I even had 1 or 2 on my way to work in the early am they were that good. I can't help it I have a sweet tooth.. They have quite a few collections For Her & For Him, and Sports Pops which I think is cute. My son plays baseball and I hope to get some for the team soon. Shop different themes, http://www.fayescakepops.com/by-flavor-12-ct.htm

JA-VIE 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!



ja-vie

I received the Shimmering Black Lurex Flats to review on my blog. I thought the black flats would go with anything which black does with a little bit of sparkle from the flats, so I thought these would be perfect for me because I am always wearing leggings. I love how my new JA-VIE flats look on me with the leggings and I also wore them with my pair of jeans. I did end up wearing them to work which was a bad idea because a long 8 hour shift walking in them and sitting but mostly always on my feet they literally killed my feet I had a blister on my pinky toe, ouch! I will wear these out to dinner or if I go out to the store only. I learned my lesson wearing them a long period of time to work, oops! LOL. Only me.

Some of the ways I wore them and showing you some other shots of my new JA-VIE Flats (: Also I forgot to mention they are really really comfortable! They are made out of patent-pending technology. The flats combine the softest double-ply mercerized cotton knit "sock" with lightweight jelly outsole and cushioned leather insoles (with arch, ball, and heel support), so you know why they are so comfy. I am really happy & satisfied with my product that I chose and thanks to JA-VIE for letting me review a pair of their great flats!

Steve's Ice Cream 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!




Back in 1973, when we started making small-batch ice cream, there was nothing else like Steve’s. It was a big world with no room for little guys like us, but we had a hunch that customers were hungry for handcrafted ice cream with innovative “mix-ins” like Heath® Bar Crunch . . . to read more about Steve's Ice Cream click here


One of my weakness is Ice Cream I love it, it taste really good and I love adding my own toppings on top. I've had cut back a lot but when I am in the mood for some I go for it (: I recently contacted Steve's Ice Cream to try out some of their flavors I saw at my local Whole Foods Market. I received three free coupons to purchase and I got three delicious flavors. I got Bourbon Vanilla, Salty Caramel & Cinnamon Coffee. My son likes coffee so I figured he'd like this and I like Vanilla and Caramel so I went with those choices. I did see some other flavors I would of enjoyed but they didn't really have a selection at my local Whole Foods Market store which was okay because I was really happy with the ones I chose.

 "Left picture" Vanilla Bourbon which was really strong at first but you get used to it me and my husband had a share of it which was really tasty and I did end up crushing some butterfingers on top which was so good. "Right picture" Salty Caramel this was extremely delicious no need for toppings because it was already good with the caramel. I was actually shocked that I did like the Homestyle Vanilla Ice Cream because it was Infused with Intoxicating Small Batch Bourbon I don't really like Bourbon, but in Ice Cream it's pretty delicious! The cinnamon coffee I did end up trying one night I wanted to try it I took a spoonful and it was really good at first it did taste really cinnamon for me, but after it tasted like coffee it was amazing. The creations that they come up with is excellent.


Look at other some delicious signature collections of Ice Cream they have from Steve's Ice Cream, http://stevesicecream.com/

Steaz 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!



Every can of Steaz is made with certified Fair Trade green tea from Kenya, certified Fair Trade cane sugar from Paraguay and natural ingredients sourced from all over the world.


 I received three free coupons to try out a brand item called Steaz I shop at my local Whole Foods Market only for one thing that my son likes so I was looking around at different brands that might interest me and I found Steaz that I thought might be really good. I ended up getting three of them one for me my son and my husband. I got Zero Calorie Half & Half Green Tea & Lemonade, Green Tea with Coconut Water & Zero Calorie Peach Mango to review on my blog. Of course the day I come home from work Nick had mentioned that I got one for him & my husband Ed so I couldn't get a picture of them drinking there's which I was really mad about because I take pictures of everything. Anyways they did end up saying that they liked there's which was good to hear my son loves them and I can't wait to buy him some more. I like the zero calorie.

I ended up saving mine for when I really wanted it. I brought mine to work for a drink on my dinner break. I really liked this flavor it was really good. I love half and half green tea with lemonade it tasted really good. I love organic products. Check and see where you can purchase Steaz products you'll need to at least try one they are really good (:

Positive Energy Review

Positive Energy Beverages

At Positive Energy, we provide natural energy intended to be a force for good, providing the vitality to lead active and healthy lifestyles . . . to read more about Positive Energy click here



I received seven flavors of Positive Energy drinks. The flavors I got to try were Cranberry, Orange, Lemonade, Lemonade Tea, Peach Mango Lemonade, Apple & Strawberry Lemonade. These are gluten free which is very good they seem healthy. My husband loved them me not so much. I guess it had a strong taste and weird after taste for me. It says natural caffeine I guess I didn't really like that because I don't normally drink products with caffeine in them. I did try the Orange it tasted like Orange Juice a little it wasn't that bad, but I didn't like it my husband enjoyed them all which was great because they were more for him, but I did end up trying most of them just a sip though!
