Bru Joy Deluxe Garlic Press Review

  I recently reviewed another wonderful kitchen tool from Bru Joy - the Deluxe Garlic Press.  This stainless steel press is great to use on peeled or unpeeled garlic and also on ginger.  When using the garlic in the press some customers have found it really helpful that if you microwave the garlic for a few seconds they press easier.  The press also holds 3 med. sized cloves of garlic, but for a much easier press Bru Joy recommends you only using 2.

Bru Joy Deluxe Can Opener Review



 Bru Joy Deluxe Can Opener is one of the best hand held can opener's I have ever used.  This stainless steel can opener is so easy to open cans with.  I love the size of the handles because they fit perfectly in your hands - not like the thin, flat handled can openers I have used in the past.  I have Fibromyalgia and clamping down with these handles is very easy and does not hurt my hands.

Lice Good-Bye Products from Fairy Tales Hair Care Review/Giveaway



  It's Back to School time and this means your child gets to be exposed to all kinds of goodies like- the flu, stomach viruses and head lice.  Head lice are horrible little parasites that infest the heads of children and adults everywhere.  These bugs don't care who you are, where you are from, or how clean your body and hair is - actually they prefer clean hair because it is easier to attach to.  These nasty things just need your blood to survive. They live on the scalps because it is warm and humid and can live on the head for about 30 days and lay up to 8 eggs a day. 
  Lice do not jump or fly - they crawl from one head to another.  Children are more infected than adults because they have more head to head contact in places such as schools and day cares.  Spreading of lice occurs when the person with head lice shares brushes, combs, hair ties or on towels and backpacks.
 As a grandmother of 2 school age grandchildren that live with me, I was so excited to review the Lice Good-Bye products from Fairy Tales Hair Care.  Fairy Tales sent me these 4 products pictured below:

Sneakz Organic Flavored Milk Drinks Review/Giveaways



  Do you have a hard time getting your kids to eat their veggies?  Most parents do.  I bet you wish your children would eat beets and spinach without you having to make them, I know I feel this way.  Well, now your child can get the exact same vitamins from beets, spinach, sweet potatoes and carrots in a drink.  A chocolate flavored drink at that!  That's right - I said chocolate - and what kid doesn't like chocolate?
  I was allowed to review for Sneakz Organic which is a delicious veggie drink full of vitamins.  A great thing about Sneakz is that your child will have no idea they are drinking vegetables because that can't taste anything but chocolate.

First Things First (FTF) MoonPie Family Prize Pack Giveaway




   First Things First is an award winning not-for profit organization dedicated to strengthening families.  In summertime families usually spend more time with each other because school is out and most of the time this means vacationing, time spent relaxing at home and simple get - togethers with friends.  
  I raised 3 children and now I have 11 grand children.  During the raising of my children I remember my husband always playing "Wrestle" or some other type of rough housing games.  I would always cringe and fuss about someone getting hurt and my husband would say, "they are fine, let them be kids" well, now with the grandchildren it is the same thing again.  The grandbabies love when PaPa wrestles and tickles and they play monsters.  Of course this means blankets everywhere for forts and jumping on the bed.

CarPET Scratch Stopper Review/Giveaway



  I love cats and I love having my cat inside, but one thing I don't like it how they scratch up my doorways on my wood floor and my carpet in other doorways.  You can bet if the door is shut to one of these rooms the cat will scratch to get in.  For some reason cats do not like a door to be shut, but we all know there are reasons we need to close off some rooms or just keep the door shut sometimes.


 Above is a picture of what kind of destruction a cat can cause to the carpet in a doorway.  Replacing carpet and new floors can become very expensive and time consuming.  Thank goodness for cat lovers everywhere there is now an answer to this problem : CarPET Scratch Stopper.  The CarPET Scratch Stopper fits most all doorways; 28", 30" or 32" inch entrances - you also need a 1/8 inch clearance between carpet and door.

Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream Review


  I recently reviewed a great eye cream by Body Merry.  This all natural eye cream is great for dark circles under the eyes, puffiness, bags, crow's feet and other eye problems.  Body Merry Age Defense Eye Cream uses natural ingredients to make this eye cream because the eye area is so delicate.
 I applied this Age Defense Eye Cream under my eye and in the outer corners of the eye where the crow's feet are.  The smell is a little strong when you first open the bottle, but it does smell good.  The scent is a minty scent.
