Healthy Hair Plus- Awaken and Replenish Combo review

Healthy Hair Plus- Awaken and Replenish Combo
Review

Do you want Salon feeling hair?  Would you like to use the same hair products that the professionals use?  Well, now you can buy these products at a  price that can be up to 30% cheaper than salon's get them.
Healthy Hair Plus has shampoos and conditioners for your hair, vitamins and products that help hair grow, products for frizzy and grey hair plus much more.
I reviewed the Awaken and Replenish Combo by Nourish.  I love the smell of these hair products.  The smell is a minty type smell.  The conditioner really leaves my hair feeling soft and tangle free.  I also like how the shampoo lathers up easily without having to use a large amount.

Gray Matter Book Review

Gray Matter
Book Review

  Dr. David Levy MD practices neurosurgery in San Diego, California. Not only does Dr. Levy execute one of the most important surgeries that can be performed on the human body, he also touches his patients spirit.
Dr. Levy began practicing medicine after first being a mechanic. One day while working underneath a car, David liked what he saw. He felt if he could work with the main wires that it took to make a car run then he could probably work on the main part of the body that makes it function, the brain.

 The brain is a very sensitive and complex part of the human body. It holds the keys to some very crucial parts such as our senses, thoughts, memory, and knowledge. Dr. Levy inserts a needle into the main artery of the leg and from there he gently, and carefully, guides the wire through sometimes damaged and often plagued veins. Seeking out the aneurysm that is causing his patients to have bad headaches and unseen problems is Dr. Levy's job. A job he loves and is dedicated to heart and soul.

Misikko Review

Misikko is your one stop shop for the best professional beauty tools and styling products on the market.

Misikko.com is devoted to your hair!  They pick and choose the absolute highest quality salon flat irons and hair straighteners, the best hair dryers, and other beauty tools.  With brands like Hana Salon and Chi, they've assembled a product selection from the top brands out there.  Personally, I love Chi hair products, and Misikko is the perfect shopping stop for their stuff.

I was so excited to be able to review for Misikko!  I received the Hana Pink 1 1/2 inch hair straightener.  I absolutely love this flat iron.  My hair is thick and most flat irons won't straighten it through and through, but this one does.  I also received a heat proof mat that keeps my counter tops from being burned.  I really like this mat.

Scotts Liquid Gold Clean Screen review


Do you have trouble keeping fingerprints off all your electronic products?  I sure do because I have a 2 year old grandson who is constantly touching my television and my computer.  My older grandson has a DSI that he hardly ever puts down and there are fingerprints and smudges all over it.  Scotts Liquid Gold has developed a cleaner that really cleans these items perfectly.  When I was asked to review this cleaner I was very excited.  I have always used Scotts Liquid Gold furniture polish so I knew I would be trying a product that comes from a company that I have placed trust in for years.

Hint Flavored Water review/giveaway Closed!

Hint Flavored Water
review/giveaway  Closed!
The idea behind Hint is simple: pure water, nature's original refreshment, accented with a hint of natural flavor. No sugar, no artificial sweeteners: Hint is a refreshing alternative to sodas, juice and other sweetened drinks and it tastes great.
Sound good? It tastes even better.

I reviewed Hint Water and it is so good!  I am not a big water drinker but with Hint and the great flavorings they have added, I found myself carrying a bottle around everywhere I went.  Watermelon was my favorite but I liked all of the flavors.  Hint comes in Blackberry, Strawberry Kiwi, MANGO-GRAPEFRUIT, POMEGRANATE-TANGERINE and several more flavors.   I just  placed my water in the fridge and after they were good and cold they were ready for anyone to enjoy! (You may prefer your water not refrigerated-I  like mine cold)

RetroPlanet.com  Groovy Lamp Closed!
 review/giveaway
I was so excited to review for RetroPlanet.com.  This is one awesome place to shop!  I had forgotten about so many of the household things I had in my home when growing up.  RetroPlanet.com has all those good oldies plus much more.  Remember the cat clock that's tail swung  and the big eyes moved back and forth?  RetroPlanet.com has it for sale.  They sell 1950's furniture such as the dining sets with your choice of Vinyl Fabric & colors that will brighten your dining room, kitchen, game room, diner restaurant or any retro decor atmosphere.  They carry record players, wall clocks, retro toys, vintage posters and the list goes on and on. You must visit RetroPlanet.com to view the wonderful array of gifts.

RetroPlanets.com was kind enough to allow me to review the Groovy Lamp.  These lamps were the craze in the 70's.  I remember mine, it was hot pink.  Everyone I knew had one and they were "cool".

Funky Monkey Snack review/giveaway Closed!

  Funky Monkey Snacks are freeze dried fruit. They are so yummy!
I was very excited to review for Funky Monkey Snacks because I am really concerned at the lack of fruit my grandson eats. These great tasting fruit snacks have up to 3 servings of fruit per bag. And do they ever taste wonderful--I know because I have been eating them also. My favorite is the Pink Pineapple and Brinner,my grandson, likes Bananamon the best.

  There are 7 different bags of the Funky Monkey Snacks containing assorted fruit blends. For example : Applemon, MangoOJ and Purple Funk , to name just few of these delicious crunchy snacks.
  Funky Monkey Snacks contain no sugar or sweeteners and no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. Funky Monkey Snacks freeze-dries their fruits to preserve all the natural flavors and nutrients. This causes the fruit snacks to become crunchy---which kids love!

Old Time Candy Review & Giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway  Closed!
Remember candy that you ate as a child?  Candy that you can no longer find in stores today.  Well, there is a company that tracked down all our old time favorites and now sells them by the boxes in the decade of your favorite candy year.
I was born in the 60's but I really remember the candy from the 70's as being my favorite.  I  loved Blow Pops, Hot Dog Bubble Gum, Bit'o'Honeys, Chik "O" Sticks and many more.  There are so many that come in the Old Time Candy Decade box that I had forgotten about.  Remember the real Butterscotch discs that tasted oh so good? And Candy Cigarettes that were in the full size box that looked like a pack of real cigarettes.  They even had the red tip on the end to look like fire.  Old Time Candy still sells these. 
 Starting the Old Time Candy Co. began whenever Karen and Donny Ray walked into a large candy store in Cleveland, Ohio that specializes in old time candy. They had no idea that many of their old time favorites still existed. It was the candy they ate as kids... Necco Wafers, Candy Buttons on paper tape, Wax Lips, Candy Cigarettes. So, in 2000 they went online and hunted down candy companies and their business began.

Decade Boxes come in years 1920's to the 1990's.

SkinMD Natural Lotion-review/giveaway Closed!

SkinMD Natural Lotion  Closed!
Is your skin dried out from all this cold weather and wind?  Do you have eczema or psoriasis or very sensitive skin?  Does your hands become dry and hurt from excess washing?  If you answered yes to any of these questions then you really must try SkinMd, the all natural lotion for thirsty skin.

SkinMd is a  shielding lotion that does the real work to prevent dry skin in two ways.

First, it assists the inner layers of skin to absorb moisture. The humectant (an ingredient that attracts moisture) used in Skin MD Natural is unique to it and has been laboratory tested to be 6 times more effective than any other you will find in common creams.
Second, a shielding lotion enhances the power of the top layer of the skin to resist environmental irritants while protecting the inner natural moisture.
This can be a big benefit for those who cook, wash dishes and garden because Skin MD Natural helps skin retain its natural moisture and oils in the face of all those irritating soaps and chemicals.

"Most" DVD -review/giveaway Closed!

"Most" DVD  Closed!
review/giveaway

Could you give your child's life for others who were in trouble?  "Most" is a moving movie about a loving father who has to make that very decision. This father loves his son beyond anything. The son also loves his father very much. Can this father give up his son's life so that others may live?  
John 3:16 tells us of this very same love. God gave his only son, a son whom he loved very much, so that we can have everlasting life.

MOST, the Czech word for "The Bridge," is a fitting title for this 21st-century parable about a loving father, his young son, and the fateful day when they attempt to head off an impending rail disaster.
The plot of this story is:
A father and son love each other very much. Stargazing or enjoying tea together, the two are nearly inseparable. One day, Lada, the son, asks his father if he can join him at the bridge. The bridge is where the father works as an operator, raising a drawbridge when a boat must pass and lowering it when the train arrives. On the one day that Lada joins his father at work, a train arrives early. Lada tries to alert his father that the train is early, but his father cannot hear him. Father is away, inspecting some machinery. So, the boy rushes to throw the switch manually, enabling the drawbridge to drop and let the train safely pass. But, by the time the father discovers the problem, Lada has accidentally fallen into the drawbridge wheel and pulley mechanisms. The father must make a choice. Save his son and let the train wreck. Or, lower the bridge, save the train and sacrifice his son to the crushing wheels.

Achooz Saline Nose Wipes review/giveaway closed!

review/giveaway  closed!
Cold and Flu season is definitely here and with them comes runny noses.  After several blows and wipes your nose can become really sore.  Mine does this and it hurts.  Achooz was developed to help ease the pain of sore noses and the saline helps unstop congested noses.
Achooz have been developed for your comfort and ease of use. Toss a re-sealable pack of Achooz in your purse, briefcase or pocket and use one the moment you need it. The saline will help you to breathe again and the aloe and vitamin E will prevent others from paying more attention to your nose than to you!

A team of doctors and chemists (not to mention their own stuffy noses), created a unique non-medicated formula to break down mucus and soothe the nose while wiping. It includes the same gentle, patent-pending magic of saline, vitamin E and aloe as the Boogie Wipe products and is available in Fragrance Free for everyday use and Cool Menthol for extra stuffy noses.

Amy's Kitchen review/giveaway Closed!

Amy's Kitchen  Closed!
Delicious Natural & Organic Meals

Whether it’s a Black Bean Enchilada, Veggie Pot Pie, Lentil Soup, or Vegetable Lasagna, people love the organic convenience foods created by Amy’s Kitchen.
Amy’s food tastes so good because it’s made from the kind of real food ingredients that people use in their own kitchens…no additives, no preservatives, no GMOs. If a child can’t pronounce it, you won’t find it on an Amy’s label. The cooking methods are like those used at home or in fine restaurants. For mashed potato dishes, fresh potatoes are cooked and mashed instead of being prepared with dehydrated flakes. Pizza crusts are shaped by hand. Sauces and gravies are made the old fashioned way, starting with a roux.
It’s made from organic ingredients. Fruits, vegetables and grains are grown organically, the way nature intended food to grow, without the use of insecticides and other harmful chemicals. This benefits the growers, the consumers, and the environment.

I was excited to review for Amy's Kitchen!  The idea of all natural and organic food thrilled me.  I tried out the Kid's Meals on the grand-kiddos.  They loved them!  They tried the Macaroni and Cheese meal.  The macaroni tasted great- I know -I tried it myself :)  They are typical kids so of course only a bit of the broccoli and cheese was ate but they loved the apple pies.  I would recommend this meal for your children and grandchildren.  I have 2 babies I babysit for and I will buy these meals for them so they can learn to eat good meals.

Saky Sacks review

review
   Are you worried about what plastic bags are doing to our land and water?  Plastic bags that get thrown down on the ground and end up in our oceans and become entangled around innocent animal life causing them to die pitiful deaths.  I am very concerned with this problem and with the problem of littering also. 
  When Saky Sacks allowed me to review one of their bags I was delighted!  I have been needing an alternative to plastic grocery sacks and these bags are great!  I reviewed the City Saky Bouquet Bag.  This bag is full of color and a bright delight.  It can easily carry 25 lbs while the interior clasp keeps the contents secure.  It has an 
 inside pocket and is machine washable.


  Saky Sacks began when Rupa Wickrama was looking for a meaningful change in her life and saw a niche for fashionable shopping bags.  Unable to find a multi-purpose bag that was both functional and stylish, she decided to design her own.  With the intent to create a tasteful and affordable collection of bags that would become an indispensable accessory for women everywhere, Saky Sacks was founded in 2009.


Rupa’s inspiration for the Saky Sacks designs come from her travels around the world and her extensive collection of tribal textiles and rugs.
  Here are a few of the adorable Saky Sacks that you can purchase on their website for around $25.00 (prices do vary with size).




  I was really amazed at the size of the bag.  It will really hold a lot of items.  Plus, it is so pretty.  When you are not using your sack just roll it up and clasp it together for easy storing.

  Saky Sacks are as concerned about our planet as much as we are.  They are proud to support Oceans Futures Society, an organization whose mission is to explore global oceans and inspire and educate people on acting responsibly for its protection. Saky Sacks will donate 10% of the net proceeds from website sales of the Spotty Saky to Ocean Futures. For more information, visit http://www.oceanfutures.org/.

If you are like me and want to do everything you can to help with the plastic problems that are hurting our enviroment and you would like to own one of these lovely bags, then please contact Saky Sacks website to see where they are sold near you.   You can also order them online.  I know you will love your bag as much as I do mine.
I was not compensated in any way except for receiving a Saky Sack for review.
The opinions of this product are strictly my own.

CSN Swing Sets For Kids

  Can you believe Spring is only 2 mths. away? And that means the kids can finally get outside and play without freezing to death.  I was looking online to find a good quality made swing set for kids and there is no better place to look than CSNCSN has swing sets for kids from the average size to ones with tunnels and double slides.  They have around 128 swing sets to choose from.  I don't know where else I would be able to buy one that has that many to select from.
  My grandchildren all love to play at my house and the swing set we have is old and worn out so I know exactly where I will be buying the new one-CSN.
  So if you are like me and already planning for the nice weather and spending time outdoors with your children or grandchildren and you are in need of some new things, then check out the 250 sites that CSN has to offer.  Whether you need pots and pans or like me, a swing set for kids, believe me CSN will have it and their prices are wonderful!
