Sara Lee Bread review/giveaway Closed

Review/Giveaway  Closed!





The very nice people at Sara Lee graciously allowed me to review 2 of their awesome bread products.  I am so ashamed to admit it but I have never tried Sara Lee's bread.  We have always used another brand.
But now that I tasted this extra soft and very fresh bread it is all I will be buying from now on.
The 2 loaves I tried were the Sara Lee Soft and Smooth made with Whole Grain White bread and the Sara Lee Soft & Smooth 100% Whole Wheat.
These really are the softest breads I have ever eaten.  The whole wheat kind is a very light colored bread that doesn't taste like the wheat is the bread.

SeaWillow Herbs review/giveaway Closed!

Review/Giveaway  Closed!


SeaWillow Herbs is an awesome shop on Etsy.  This shop makes lip balms, bath salts, healing salves, aromatherapy massage oils and more. Only 100% organic and ethically wildcrafted ingredients are used to make these products! All products are made with lots of love and in small batches.
I was excited to get to review several things from the SeaWillow shop.  One is the Vampire Kiss Lip Balm.  This lip balm is spicy, sharp, sweet, musky, cinnamon, zesty and refreshing. Great for giving at Halloween instead of candy!

Mountain Mama's Kitchen Candle in a Can review/giveaway Closed

Review/Giveaway Closed!

 I have smelt some good candles before but nothing compares to the smell of Mountain Mamas Candles!  These truly are the best smelling candles I have ever smelt.  Unlike a lot of candles that  burn down to the end of the wick, these candles don't do that.  After the candle quits burning and is cool, the hole fills back up with wax.  You can not tell you ever burned it.
Mountain Mamas Kitchen Candle Co. let me review 2 candles.

Each of these delicious  smelling candles sell for $12.00 each.

Sharkies Fruit Snacks Review/Giveaway Closed!

Sharkies Fruit Snacks
Review/Giveaway  Closed!
Kelly at Sharkies agreed to allow me a review/giveaway.  When I received the sample package in the mail I was so excited that my grandchildren were going to get to try these cool looking snacks.  But, I must say after we all tried them together I really wanted to keep them all to myself!  Sharkies are so good and fruity tasting.  I am now hiding them from the grandkids, not really, but they are that good.
 Sharkies are Gluten Free, Wheat Free and Vegetarian.  Although children can and will consume Sharkies as a "better for you" snack, none of the sugars in Sharkies are refined and half the product is brown rice syrup giving it complex carbohydrates for sustained energy. This added to the simple sugars from the fruit and organic cane make Sharkies a functional, healthy alternative to candy or other fruit snacks. Unlike candy, Sharkies don't contain high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, or further refined sugar.

Sibu Beauty Review/giveaway Closed!

Review/Giveaway  Closed!
The journey to create a successful company can be as arduous as scaling a Tibetan mountainside, but well worth the view from the top. Bruce McMullin founded Sibu in 2003 after series of events led him to Calcutta, India where he crossed paths with an ayurvedic specialist in Chinese plants and herbs. In passing, this expert mentioned a powerful holy fruit, the seabuckthorn berry.

From there McMullin's quest took him to new heights, figuratively and literally, as he journeyed to some of the most remote locations of the Himalayas to find the superior source of seabuckthorn that is the foundation for all Sibu products.

 I was so excited when Roxanne agreed to let me try and review some of the wonderful products Sibu has to offer.

"Rust" Dvd Review/Giveaway Closed!

"Rust" DVD  Closed!
Review/Giveaway

"Rust" is an exceptionally great movie!   I am so glad Rodney and Provident Films asked me to review this film for them.  I didn't expect this movie to be as good as it was by just reading the back of the case.  I did not move from my seat from the beginning till the end. 
When the story first begins Jimmy,( Corbin Bernsen) the main character questions God about why he doesn't show him the answers to the reasons things happen the way they do in life.  Jimmy is a minister who decides to quit preaching and return to the town that he grew up in.  Jimmy has been gone from this town and his family for several years.
Once returning to Kipling, Jimmy finds out there has been a local tragedy, claiming the lives of a new family, and that his childhood friend has been perceived the cause of it.  
By searching out the truth, Jimmy not only finds the true answers but the true answers he has been searching for inside himself.
"Rust" has a true meaning that is brought out in the end.  This story deals with human compassion and sacrifice just as Jesus himself sacrificed his life for ours.  Excellent meaning-excellent acting-excellent movie.
I would recommend this story for every family to watch together.

IStyle.Com Shirt Review/Giveaway Closed!

Closed!
IStyleoriginals.ComShirt
Review/Giveaway


IStyleoriginals.com agreed to a review/giveaway from me.  And was I ever glad!  This company has some very funny and at the same time, adorable T-Shirts.
I was allowed to choose from any of their many text messaging shirts.  I chose the IRide.  shirt.  My son is really big into 4-wheeler riding so this shirt seemed like the perfect one for him. 
IStyleoriginals.com shirts are quite different from the average t-shirt.  All their shirts have a simple text message written on the front.  All the shirts are black with white words.  I love the fact that this shirt is tagless.  I always end up cutting the tags off every t-shirt because they are irritating to him.
The IStyle shirt is so soft.  Even after you wash it several times it stays soft and never looses its shape.

Clothing and Apparel for the iGeneration

When I  received my IStyleoriginals.com shirt in the mail I was amused at the box it came in.  So cute!  The box resembles a box you would find software in.  This box also lists funny saying such as:  complete usage instructions which inform buyers of the correct way to 'use' softwear, being sure to never eat the product, or use without lower accessories (pants). Also, be sure not to place your arm through the neck hole, or wear as an undergarment. 
I had to keep the box!

There are many ISTyleoriginals. saying to wear on your shirt such as:
IRock. , IParty. , IDrink. ,IGame. , ICandy. , IMight. , and there are several more.
If you are looking for IStyleoriginals. shirts in childrens sizes  then IStyleoriginals.com has many of them also.  Some of these saying are:
ICute. , IRock. ,IPotty. , INap. , and several more.
IStyleoriginals.com also carries Beanies and Doggie shirts too.

IStyleoriginals.com is committed to giving you the safest Internet shopping experience—not to mention the most enjoyable.  Your order should be received 2-3 days after ordering.

I really love this shirt and plan on buying several more for other members of my family.  So please check out IStyleoriginals.com if you want a unique kind of shirt made of  good quality and from a great company.

Carrie at Bella Cupcake Couture graciously allowed me to review a set of darling cupcakes wrappers.  These cute wrappers --Dorothy- Polkadots -are adorable
These wrappers come 12 to a set.  They sell for $12.00. 

Bella Cupcake offers chic textile-inspired cupcake wrappers.
The boutique-style designs are exquisite and offer a sophisticated elegance to any special occasion; weddings, baby and bridal showers, birthdays, celebrations, and just because.
These wrappers come in chartreuse, chocolate brown, citrus or soft pinks, making every cupcake look stunning.
Bella Cupcake Couture was recently featured in Get Married Magazine.
Make the moments in your life extra special, creative and stylish for you and those you care about. Simply bake or buy your favorite frosted cupcake and set inside wrapper for an elegant finish. No matter which type of cupcake you enclose it around; red velvet, lemon drop, double chocolate, plain vanilla... it is sure to be adored!
Bella Cupcake Couture Wrappers come in the standard cupcake size and in Mini size also. The standard size wrapper fits most "standard" size baking liners, however they have found the "best fit" is the 1-7/8" wall and 2-1/4" diameter base.

By mimilovesall8 from Gilmer,Texas on 10/15/2010

 

5out of 5

Pros: Durable, Hours of Fun, Attractive Design

Cons: Difficult Assembly

Best Uses: Group Play, Small Children, Individual Play

Describe Yourself: Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent, Grandparent

Was this a gift?: Yes

The Bazoongi Circus Tent is a really wonderful thing for children to have. It provides hours of imaginary play for 1 or more children. I was able to put 2 small child chairs inside it and there was still room to play. My grandson,7yrs. old, even put his sleeping bag in it and slept there one night. This tent is like having a mini playhouse inside the home. Love it!

DollyLizzy Review/Giveaway Closed!

DollyLizzy Review/Giveaway Closed!
Welcome to the doll shop!
 DollyLizzy been making doll clothes for a number of years for her daughters' dolls.  After having quite a number of requests for different outfits from their friends she decided to start my own website to sell them.  DollyLizzy offers a variety of clothing for a variety of dolls.
  Everything you see is handmade with the exception of the vinyl dolls. She does 18 inch doll clothing, cabbage patch, reborn, barbie doll, and coming soon the Corner Dolls.
I reviewed the Dolly in the above picture.  She is really cute and it takes me back to the 80's when Cabbage Patch dolls were the "in" thing.  I remember having to search everywhere to get my hands on one for my oldest daughters Christmas present.  Well, now DollyLizzy can make one for you that looks just like the original-without the trademark of course.  If you purchase a doll from DollyLizzy she will also make you clothes to match.  Just let her know what you'd like.


DollyLizzy also makes doll carriers,blankets,bibs and quilts.
The twin baby dolls are adorable!
I also love the little newborn babies.  So cute with their bonnets and gowns.
DollyLizzy is a great shop on Etsy. This shop opened on July 26,2010. Currently DollyLizzy has 58 items on hand for sale and she has had 100% feedback on her sales.
I really like my cute little baby doll. The only thing I would change is the clothing she has on.  The suit is too small for the hood to fit on the babys head.  My grandaughter really wanted it to fit and has tried to make it work. :)
Other than the suit being to small I would recommend DollyLizzy to anyone who loves baby dolls or has someone to give it to that loves them also.

This Bumble Bee is the cutest thing.  Made from the highest quality , super soft chenille.  It is so soft you will think you are hugging a real fur coat.
Plus, the colors are so bright and the smile is so darling.  These pillows can go anywhere your child goes---in the car,at naptime, to grandma's ect...  All Pillow Pets have a really durable strap underneath to close up from a pillow to become the cute pet.
