#TruFanStand!

Well we had a fun time this weekend hosting a Lemonade stand at our house. The kids were great and helped to make the sign for me.

Truvia and crowdtap sent me a full sized baking blend pack and a full sized spoon able truvia product. I was very skeptical of the product making my cookies taste different. I have been making the same cookies since I was a jr in high school I was going to notice. Yet after using the product I DIDN'T notice. I was impressed. We also made freshly squeezed lemonade mad lemon limeade and they also tasted really awesome. The Truvia package said that you can have the same great taste with 75% less calories and I have to say I really was impressed. Thank you Crowdtap and Truvia for letting me try this great product free and giving me a chance to voice my opinion on the product. Let me know if you plan to make the #sweetswitch. I am interested to hear what others say.

Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango Body Wash review and giveaway

If you have read any of my other blog posts you will know already that I LOVE dial products. I grew up with them in my house when all they made was their bright orange bar soap, to watching them in the last few years just jump up on their new released products and I am beyond thrilled. The newest member to the Dial family is their Coconut Water Refreshing Mango body wash. This is a great body wash and I really love the scent.

Dial has always been a leader in skin care and really wants to give their consumer a hydrating body wash, that is another reason I love this product. With my other body washes I have to put lotion on as soon as I get out of the shower or I get that tight dry skin feeling but with this body wash my skin feels moisturized and nourished without the lotion leaving my skin feeling very healthy. I have three free product coupons you do not want to miss out on so answer the questions below so that you can be transported to a beautiful tropical oasis during your next shower!

THe Dial brand provided me with a sample of Dial Coconut Water Refreshing Mango body wash in exchange for a product review. However, all the opinions expressed are my own.

Spellbinders Celebra'tions Review and Giveaway

I used to be a HUGE scrapbooker and my friend and I would get together every Saturday and she would work on her cards and I would work on my scrapbook. We both have since moved from the place where we used to do that so I haven't been quite as crafty as of late. But Purex sent me a product to try and now I get to tell you about. Also one of the companies I previously bought my scrapbooking craft stuff isn't around any more so it's always fun to find a new company with new ideas. Spellbinders has paper, ink, stamps, dies, and embellishments to make greeting cards or scrapbook pages. Kiah and I decided to make the card together so I took some picture of her work. The directions were very easy and we had a fun time.

I am excited to be able to give a very different than my usual giveaways. I am hoping I have some stamping friends out there who would like to win the stamps shown in this picture, just have fun and enter on the rafflecopter below. Good luck! Make sure to check out the pictures below and Kiah's awesome card! And don't forget to enter to win the giveaway! It is also all the way at the bottom of this post!

Cetaphil product review

So thankful for Crowdtap to let me get to try some of their products and then even better I got to share them with my friends and family.

My very favorite product I got to try were the cleansing cloths- I will admit it I am LAAAAZY when it comes to getting my face clean. I want something super easy and most days I don't wear makeup just because I don't want to wash it off! But with this product it is super easy to just pull one out and use it and then toss it, no waiting for the water to warm up, no suds in the eyes perfect. I also like to use them after I shower after a run just because I always feel even though I've been in the shower my face just still feels dirty deep down so I enjoy just using one of these right after I shower! 

I also got to try the daily facial moisturizer, I haven't actually gotten into a routine with it yet so my opinion is undecided but I enjoyed the few days I did use it. I have SUPER sensitive skin on my face and just about any product will cause a break out but this product added the moisture without adding the excess oil that some products do. Finally I got to try the body wash. 

Now as sensitive as my facial skin is the rest of my body is not so I personally didn't feel like I needed this product (I love a TON of scent and this is not scented but I had a friend who was so happy to get to try some because she says it is the only product that helps against her eczema, so knowing that I would totally recommend the product to people. I also think as a mom I bought expensive (in my mind) unscented baby wash for my youngest because he had really sensitive skin for about three months and then I was left with all this baby product, this is nice because anyone in the family can use it. I was very impressed with Cetaphil's Gentle Power. 

Thanks Crowdtap for letting me have a sample to try, and all I had to do was share my opinion. Which all these words are mine.  

Capri Sun

So have you ever wondered what was in a Capri Sun? I mean they kind of had the mysterious silver pouches that you couldn't see through with the tiny straws. Well no Capri Sun has added a clear bottom to those pouches so you can see what you are giving your kids. We enjoy this product especially in the summer. They are fun to pop into the freezer and then eat as a popsicle as well. My kids love all the great tastes and I love that now some of the choices are 100% juice. 

I was given a sample product to share with my friends and family and was to write a review about it, all the words here are mine.   

Herbal Essence Makes body wash?

Say whaaaaat?

it's true Herbal Essence has designed a product line of body washes. I have been able to try two of the new scents. The hello Hydration that is pictured and another one called body burst (it's orange) I have always been a fan of the HE brand- loving the scent it leaves behind on my hair so I was simply delighted when I found out they were going to have body wash. I enjoyed both scents very much and I did believe that the hydration one seemed to keep my skin fairly hydrated. I love little indulgences like good smelling body wash so I was happy to get to try this product. 

crowdtap sent me a free sample of the product above, however all reviews listed about it are my own words. Thanks CROWDTAP!!!!

Purex Crystals Dryer Sheets Review and GIVEAWAY!

I just have to say I have so much fun getting to try every Purex product under the sun and then getting to share my experiences with you. We even got the high school grads we got invites from a honkin HUGE bottle of Purex this weekend at Target. I think they have enough for 133 loads- Kjell's like that's a whole year for college kids! Anyways back to this dryer sheet- as soon as I opened the box my whole kitchen and living room took on this scent. It was EXTREMELY powerful. In the promo Purex says they can keep our whole house smelling fresh and they were not kidding! Kjell was complaining of a stinky room at school and I told him he might just want to take one of these sheets. Ok so since it did smell up the house so much I was a teeeny bit worried that the smell was going to be that strong on the clothes. Now everyone who knows me knows I LOVE scent in my laundry products but this was a bit too flower-y for Kjell's taste so when I did my first load I was pleasantly surprised that it was a more gentle smell then I had thought.  So once again there are two giveaways one that I am doing that is for a free product coupon- the other is the one that Purex does and they are giving away $500 I tell you what one of these days one of my bloggers is going to win this...http://insiders.purex.com/TryYourLuckWIN?id=303. 
I will have three awesome ways for you to enter but only the first one is required. Thanks for entering and reading and know that Purex provided me with a sample of this product in exchange for my product review. However all opinions here are MINE :)
