Cover Girl Nature Luxe Foundation and Lip Gloss--review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway Closed!
 

Several weeks ago I became a Bzz agent and this is my first campaign with them.  I was allowed to review CoverGirls new line of cosmetics called "Nature Luxe".  The first product I reviewed was a foundation called honeywood. I like how it goes on so smooth.  Your  face feels like you have a silky powder on. This  foundation is  so lightweight and covers completely.  Your skin doesn't even feel like you have make-up on but you will see complete coverage.  As always the smell of any Covergirl foundation is wonderful.

PediaCare Allergy Relief for 2yr. olds and up----review/giveaway Closed!

PediaCare Allergy Relief for 2yr. olds and up
review/giveaway  Closed!
Finally a product to help with all the allergy problems of a child aged 2 and up - PediaCare Allergy Relief for children 2 & up.  We have been looking for something to give Brinner, my grandson since Spring began and everything we find says not give to a child under 4.  This makes us have to go into the Dr. for an expensive perscription that now we know PediaCare can do the same thing.
East Texas is known for bad pollen and all the grossy things that causes runny noses, sneezing, itchy eyes ect.  PediaCare 24 hr. hour allergy medicine takes all these symptons away. The great fact that this is a once a day medicine is even better.  No fighting him for med time.  The grape flavor does help with the one time dose.

Boon Inc. Feeding Products review/giveaway Closed!

Boon Inc. Feeding Products  Closed!
review/giveaway
Boon Inc. is the coolest baby/children company ever!  I love their products.  They are so modern and up to date.  The products they carry are awesome.  I am amazed at the designs and colors and the prices.
 When Boon allowed me to review 2 of their feeding products I was very excited!  I had looked at Boon's items before and purchased a neat looking sippy cup--without the sippy--it doesn't spill at all!  I love the look of all their products and this is what made it hard to decide what to review.  The SQUIRT Baby Dispensing Spoon really caught my eye.  With a new grand baby on the way I think this will be great.  I chose the spoon in orange.  A neutral color since we don't know what the gender of the baby is yet.  Squirt isn't just a spoon; it's a revelation. It takes baby food, removes the jar and the mess, packs it into a single utensil and with one squeeze—boom! You get easy, one-handed feeding. Pop on the cap to seal food on-the-go.

OXY Skin Care review/giveaway Closed!

OXY Skin Care   Closed!
review/giveaway
When it comes to acne, it can be hard to break the break-out cycle.  You buy a pimple product, your child starts using it, but it seems that as soon as you tell them their skin is looking great, the acne comes right back out of nowhere.  It’s even more frustrating when you buy product upon product to try and every “solution” seems to overpromise and under deliver.


Finding a product that actually does what it says is truly hard to find.  My daughter searched everywhere to find something that would not only get rid of the acne but that would keep it from coming back.  Nothing ever seemed to work like it said it would.  The acne always returned.  When Brittany and RLA wanted me to review this product I was very anxious for my daughter to try it.
The 3 part treatment works just as it says it does.  The first step is to use the OXY Face Wash.  This face wash is:
•25 times more acne medication remains on the skin after rinsing


•Patented AcneShield salicylic acid technology unclogs pores fast and fights flare-ups
•Patented AcneShield delivery means medication stays on the skin, while impurities rinse off—to help fight acne longer
•Botanical extracts soothe irritation leaving your complexion feeling replenished
•Gentle enough to use every day

Pre-Fense Hand Sanitizer review/giveaway Closed!

review/giveaway
Finally, a unique, alcohol-free hand sanitizer that provides you and your family proactive security from germs that can make you sick.
One Application Lasts All Day
•Kills germs for up to 24 hours.
•100% Poison Free
•Safe for Kids
•Alcohol Free
•Active up to 10 hand washings
When I was allowed to review this hand sanitizer I was so happy to find out it was alcohol free.  When I applied the sanitizer to my hands it went on foamy and then dried completely leaving my hands feeling all soft and smooth.  There is no strong alcohol smell or stinging from this sanitizer like there is in the other kind of hand sanitizers that I have used in the past.  It does not dry out your hands!  I really like this because I really hate it when my hands are dry.

review
The Spoonk™ Mat is based on the principles of the Indian bed of nails and Japanese shiatsu massage. They may stimulate specific reflex points throughout the body to release blocked energy, ease tense muscles and create deep mental and physical relaxation. On your Spoonk™ Mat, 6,210 small spikes provide equal pressure on the body. You simply lay on it, ensuring that your “trouble areas” are covered by the mat’s spikes—and the mat does the rest! The mat’s spikes may stimulate blood circulation, relax tense muscles and induce "feel good" hormones (endorphins and oxytocin) that release feelings of wellbeing and calm.

"The Reason Why" by Mark Mittelberg review

"The Reason Why" by Mark Mittelberg
review
The first book, with this same title, was written in the early 1900's by Robert Laidlaw. Mr. Laidlaw tried then to explain the reasons why God is real and that everything written in the Bible was true.  Mark Mittelberg felt that this story needed re-telling so he wrote another book with the same title and same message.
"The Reason Why" is a very short book, totaling only 127 pages. This small book is packed with huge examples of why we human beings are here and why faith in the words of the prophets are true.

Lucky Tiger review/giveaway Closed!

Lucky Tiger  Closed!
review/giveaway
Lucky Tiger's roots go back to 1927 when P.S. Harris, an amateur scientist, and popular barber in Kansas City, Missouri, created a tonic for the hair and scalp in his basement. He called it Lucky Tiger Tonic. Everyone who visited P.S.’s Barbershop would look forward to their shave, haircut and a generous splash of Lucky Tiger Tonic. It was different and better than other tonics used in those days, and customers from miles around would rave about its soothing effect. As the story goes, P.S.- began to sell the tonic out of his shop, and a few years later, a business associate convinced him that his special tonic would be a big hit in barbershops across the country. So, in 1935, Lucky Tiger was trademarked, and a classic American brand was officially born.

Rebecca St. James "I Will Praise You" CD review/giveaway Closed!

(Nashville) –April 4, 2011 –Heralding launch week of her new praise and worship CD release, "I Will Praise You", Rebecca St. James charts yet another new course with  a new collection of worship songs she terms “her most personal worship recording to date.”

I am a great lover of all Christian music and Rebecca St.James is a wonderful singer who will definitely touch you with her awesome voice.
At the age of 12—a time when most young girls are just beginning idyllic dreams of ‘what I want to be’—a young Australian girl prayed a simple prayer. “God, I give you my gifts. Use my life to make a difference and change the world.”

Rebecca St. James has since taken an unparalleled course in Christian music.  As the industry’s innovative ‘new voice’ as a teen in the mid-90’s, she blazed a trail in the contemporary Christian genre for many other talented female artists to come.  She has received countless industry awards, including the prestigious GRAMMY®, garnered number one singles and has consistently topped both radio and sales charts, with career album sales in the millions of album units.

Cutting Down on My Baggage Fees at the Airport

Cutting Down On My Baggage Fees At The Airport
The past couple of times I've gone on flights for trips, I've packed so much stuff that I didn't even wear and I need to stop that because I think I'm costing myself more money in bag check fees than I need to. But I've always been an over packer so this might not be too easy.

I went online with my Hughesnet broadband speed to see if there were some ways that I could streamline my luggage so I wouldn't have to pay that extra 25 bucks to check a bag. Most of the suggestions I found addressed toiletries. I'm bad about taking the normal size containers of my toiletries, which obviously take up a lot more r! oom. So I'm going to buy some travel sized toiletry bottles to use instead.
Another thing that I'm going to work on doing is wearing my bulkiest items when I'm traveling instead of them taking up more room than necessary in my luggage. That includes coats and shoes especially. I also just need to pack less shoes period. That's a really big problem of mine.

review/giveaway


The film, "Magdalena: Through Her Eyes," is the true story of Jesus seen through the eyes of Mary Magdalene – a story of tenderness, freedom and purpose.  "Magdalena" reveals what can happen when women refuse to live in defeat and choose to discover their real value.
Who better than Mary Magdalene to show us the life, death and resurrection of Jesus through a woman's eyes and heart. 
Nobody can tell a love story like a woman who's experienced it first hand. That's what Magdalena is doing on this moving and compelling DVD.  As she tells the story of Jesus you are right there in the experiences, holding your breath, following the plot, and anticipating a great end.

Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil Closed!

review/giveaway  Closed!
Virgin Coconut Oil is a food, and is one of the best cooking oils you can use. It has been a staple cooking oil for thousands of years in tropical climates. As a cooking oil, its chemical structure is kept in tact and therefore is resistant to mutations of fatty acid chains even when used in higher cooking temperatures, unlike most vegetable oils. Research shows that the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil boosts the body’s metabolism, raises body temperatures, and helps provide greater energy which can lead to weight loss. For hundreds of tasty recipes from people who use coconut oil, visit FreeCoconutRecipes.com.
With a long shelf life and a melting point of 76 degrees, it is a favorite in the baking industry.   Whenever you would rather have the healthier alternative to cooking you must try this coconut oil.  Replace your vegetable and canola oil with this wonderful tasting product.
