Mia Mariu Make up Giveaway!!

This Review/Giveaway is done by Kathy's Freebies & Savings

 



Mia Mariu is a natural health and beauty products company based in Dallas. Each product contains botanicals, antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, and peptides. Jeannie Price is the founder and CEO of Mia Mariu. She wanted to create a company for women to make money without having to sacrifice any time with their family. The company offers a home based business that can help you earn money, make new friends, and reach your personal success.

I was given two products to review, and they were the luminous lip gloss, and the anti-aging eye cream.

The lip gloss I received is called Luminous Lip Gloss Dulzura. The color is like a light pink. I'm not a huge fan of lip gloss, but when I applied this lip gloss, I really loved it. It's very smooth when you apply it, and not sticky. It made my lips shine, and didn't leave any color behind, which is what I love. I don't like when lip glosses have colors to them, because I'm not a big fan of lip colors, like lipstick. I've been using this product every day since I received it. I'm very happy that I love it, because normally I don't apply anything to my lips. This gives them that extra shine.

The anti aging eye cream is used to treat dark circles under the eyes. It came in a 0.5oz bottle. When I wake up each morning, I use this product. It's been about two weeks since I started using this, and I have seen some small changes. I'm usually extremely tired when I wake up in the morning. Ever since I have been using this product, it's made me feel refreshed and awakened in the morning. I don't know if this is how it's suppose to feel, but I love it! It really helps me to wake up in the morning. I've also noticed some small changes with the dark circles under my eyes. They are slightly disappearing, so I'm very happy with this product.

You can sign up to become a Mia Mariu Adviser and make money while staying at home. There are two different starter kits you can choose from. The basic starter kit costs $125 and it retails for $335, and the Deluxe Starter kit costs $140 and it retails for $394.

Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil Giveaway!

Y&B is hosting this giveaway in return for a friend. Great Product!

I had the wonderful opportunity to review Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil. I have witnessed the boom of coconut oil on the web but didn't know much about it. To start off this giveaway let me tell you a bit about it and Tropical Traditions as a company.

 

Win 1 quart of Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil!

Tropical Traditions is America’s source for coconut oil. Their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is hand crafted in small batches by family producers, and it is the highest quality coconut oil they offer. You can read more about how virgin coconut oil is different from other coconut oils in several ways on their website: What is Virgin Coconut Oil? 

You can also watch the video they produced about Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil:

 

Tropical Traditions also carries other varieties of affordable high quality coconut oil. Visit their website to check on current sales, to learn about the many uses of coconut oil, and to read about all the advantages of buying coconut oil online. Since the FDA does not want us to discuss the health benefits of coconut oil on a page where it is being sold or given away, here is the best website to read about the health benefits of coconut oil.

My Review:

 I have to be honest and admit I was a little scared to use the coconut oil because I do not like coconut in general.  Even through my skepticism I wanted to try it and see what all the hype was about.  I was extremely impressed.  The coconut flavor was not what I expected.  It was mild and not sweet like I thought it would be and a great substitute to the oils I usually use in recipes.



The first thing I made was a Chinese dish and I will say that I replaced the full amount of oil with the coconut oil and although the rest of my family LOVED it, I thought it was heavy on the coconut.  That did not discourage me though.



I next found a recipe online for granola bars made with coconut oil and it was an "Oh, My God!" moment for me.  I couldn't help to think that was in love with this oil.  This time the amount of oil used was perfect and the flavor was mild and tasty.  Since then I have made a number of different dishes with the coconut oil by replacing "typical" oils with the coconut oil (being careful not to overpower my coconut-sensitive palate).



Out of all the recipes I attempted with the Tropical Traditions Coconut oil my favorites were the granola bars and the Coconut Shrimp I made on a whim (I thought I had to at least attempt coconut shrimp with coconut oil).

Coconut
Shrimp Recipe

Ingredients for shrimp-

1 lbs. shrimp

Unsweetened shaved coconut

Flour

Panko bread crumbs

Salt

Pepper

Garlic powder

Onion powder

Chili powder

Cayenne pepper

2 eggs

Milk (about a cup)

Ingredients for Sauce:

Chili sauce

Sweet and sour sauce

Honey

Instructions:

1. Shell shrimp (keep tails if you wish.  I did not)
   and pat dry with paper towels. 
2. Sprinkle salt and pepper on shrimp and toss.  Set
   aside.
3. Prepare three plates are bowls with the following:

• The first will be flour with salt, pepper, garlic
  powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cayenne pepper.
• The second will be the eggs whisked together with about
  a cup of milk.
• The third will be Panko breadcrumbs mixed with the
  coconut (I did about half and half)

                   4.  Heat
about ½ inch of coconut oil in a pan over medium heat

           5.   
Dip
the shrimp in the flour and shake any excess flour off. 

           6.   
Then
dip into the egg/milk mixture.

           7.   
Coat
with the panko/coconut mixture

           8.   
Fry
until golden brown and opaque all the way through.  Watch carefully
because they  cook

                very quickly

           9.   
Lay
on paper towels to drain the excess oil when done.

          10.  Mix together chili sauce, sweet and sour sauce, and honey to
taste.  Be careful because the

                chili sauce is very spicy.  If it gets
too spicy add honey or sweet and sour.  

          11.  Enjoy.

I must apologize that I do not have exact measurements for everything in the recipe.  I tend to cook to taste and do not measure anything out most of the time.  

Other than cooking there are many other ways to use coconut oil found here.



Can't wait until the end of the giveaway to see if you won to try it?  Go here to order now.  They have a variety of different products in addition to coconut oil too.

FunBites Giveaway!

YOUNG & BLOGGIN IS NOT HOSTING THIS GIVEAWAY. IN SUPPORT OF A FRIEND :) ENJOY!!

The Munchkins and I were given the awesome opportunity to review FunBites Cube It cutter.  This is a product I had seen around and was curious to try so you can imagine my excitement when I was chosen to review it.



I was so excited when it arrived in the mail and I was able to try it.  Luckily, it came right before lunchtime so after a quick wash it was off to making & cutting sandwiches. 

Munchkin 2 had developed this nasty habit of dissecting her sandwiches & eating the filling but not the bread, or licking the jelly out of the middle.  FunBites has stopped that behavior!  She now eats her sandwich without taking it apart :D  

FunBites cutters so easy to use even the kids could do it on their own! The best part is they are great to use on much more than just sandwiches.  We were able to use it on brownies, fruit, cheese, chicken, and much more items.  Unfortunately I was unable to get pictures of it all because they had devoured it before I could get the camera. 

I think that the Luv It cutter would be just as easy and fun to use.  I plan on buying one in addition to the FunBites Cube It cutter.



FunBites are great to get picky eaters to eat a larger variety of foods.  A big advantage is it makes foods look fun so kids are more apt to eat them. 



FunBites are super easy to use; all you do is position it, press gently, and rock the cutter back and forth, then push the cut food out with the top.  So easy and quick!



The only thing I was not thrilled with is that it cut the crust off the bread but this is great for those whose kids don't like crust.  It was a simple fix though because I just cut the crust on its own or gave it to the Munchkins as is. 

I also used it to quickly cut different meats to top mac and cheese for lunch when everyone wants a different meat.

My family really enjoyed using our FunBites and used it everyday.  Jenn, Mom Of Two Munchkins and Fun Bites would like to offer the opportunity for one of our amazing readers to win a FunBites of their own through this giveaway!  The winner will receive one FunBites of their choice (Cube It or Luv It).  Giveaway is open to US and CA residents.

Great Giveaway for you with rough skin!! :)

NOT MY GIVEAWAY. HELPING A FRIEND. ENTER & ENJOY!!

This Review/Giveaway is done by Kathy's Freebies & Savings

Do you have flaky, dry, or cracked feet? I'm sure most of us do. I often get dry,cracked feet. When your on your feet a lot, you tend to get dry, cracked feet. I've got two children, so i'm always up and on my feet running around after my children. I was given the opportunity to review toe juice and hog wash.

Toe Juice was invented by Royce Garner. He produced his first batch in 1970. It all began when his son had flaking, dry, cracked feet. He did some research in his lab, and came out with a new product, Toe Juice. It had fixed his son's problem, as well as friends and families. Toe Juice is fast drying, non greasy, all natural, plant based, and effective.

Hog Wash is an alcohol based hand sanitizer infused with Derma Vine. Derma Vine uses a blend of plant based extracts, and enhances the skins natural repairing ability. Hog Wash promotes soft healthy skin, instead of over drying your hands. Hog Wash was created after nurses were using Toe Juice, from a long days of hard work at the hospital. Nurses have to sanitize there hands multiple times throughout the day, at the hospital. The sanitizers were making there hands dry and sometimes bleed. This is when the Hog Wash was invented.

After receiving the package, I decided to try out the How Wash first. I love a good hand sanitizer. Most hand sanitizers I have tried either have no smell, or a horrible smell. I was surprised that after using the Hog Wash, it smelt like lemons. It made my hands very soft as well. Then I used the Toe Juice. I just poured some of it on the parts of my feet that were cracked. I was very surprised that I couldn't even feel it when I applied it. My husband and I have both tried out the Toe Juice for a few days. It has worked wonderful for the both of us. Both of our feet are not as dry and cracked as they normally are. My husband even said his feet hurt less since he has been using the Toe Juice. His job requires him to be on his feet all day, so this is wonderful news! I even tried it on my youngest daughter, who has eczema. It worked very well on her as well. I put it on one of her breakout spots. The spot had disappeared the next morning.

Instead of spending a lot of money at the spa/salon, why not try out Toe Juice and Hog Wash.

Toe Juice has offered to let me do a giveaway. You will receive a sample package similar to the one I received. All you have to do is enter in the rafflecopter below! Good Luck.

This is a fantastic scent. I am not a huge fan of cinnamon as that tends to be strong and overbearing. But i think the combination you did captured exactly what the name is "cinnamon tea" im certainly buying this candle again. Good Job DC!

Enter to Win a Knot Genie!!

This giveaway is not done by me, i am doing this in support of other bloggers.

This Giveaway is done by SaraLee's Deals Steals & Giveaways

 

The Knot Genie™ Detangling Brush was created for every mom that has endured
the foot stomping and screaming matches that come with brushing their child's
hair. With the Knot Genie, even the curliest, most knotted up hair practically
slips through the unique bristle configuration – gently and painlessly. Try the
Knot Genie on your kids (or on yourself) – you'll be amazed by the ease of
brushing, as well as how it stops breakage and split ends. You've
wished for hair brushing standoffs to end. Wish granted.

 Before using the Knot Genie

As you can see the Knot Genie works on wet or dry hair. After a bath my friend used this on her daughters hair without using conditioner and was amazed at how well it works. Her daughter didn't scream out at all and now wants her hair brushed all the time with the Knot Genie. Now that's saying something when a child prefers the Knot Genie over any other brush.  Thanks to my good friend and her daughter for the pics. I am glad that I was able to share this review item with you.

 

Now for the giveaway: One lucky
person will win a Knot Genie (Shown Above). This is open to US and ends 8/23/12 @ 11:59
pm est. To enter,
simply do the tasks on
