Voda Swimwear Giveaway 7/15



It's summer time and who doesn't want a nice new suit?  Here is a great opportunity to win one from Voda Swimwear.  I'm helping to promote this suit for a fellow blogger as well as her review.


"I had the wonderful opportunity to do a review on a Voda Swimwear. The quality of the swim suite is like no other. I must say my daughter was very excited to do a review on this great swimsuit it arrived very quickly. She had it just in time for her Senior trip to Boston. 



Here is what she had to say about this suit. When bathing suit shopping, all women want one thing out of their suits: To look skinny while remaining shapely. Well for a cost that may look expensive of the surface, but is actually well worth it, the impossible all of a sudden seems possible. Voda Swimwear makes push up bikini tops, giving you all the curves you want to show off, without the extra fat added on. Coming in many different styles, shapes, designs, and colors, the site combines variety and quality. The suits are so high quality, you will not need to buy another one for years. 


When you go to a simple retail store to get a suit, it will barely last you through the summer without losing its good condition. Voda Swimwear offers high quality suits, the ability to look good in the pool while remaining comfortable, all at a price that is well worth the cost."

Creative Bioscience 90 Day Weight Loss Challenge


If you are a regular reader to my blog, you know I've been in a year long mission to get healthier and lose weight.  I've done pretty well so far as I've lost 30 pounds since last June and have kept it off.  I'm just having trouble getting the last few pounds to find a new home.  When I learned about the Creative Bioscience 90 Day Weight Loss Challenge, I was all up for it!  Anything new to help me kick off and achieve that final goal would be wonderful.  For this challenge, I'm choosing Diet 1234 since it's for people who want to lose less weight without counting calories and exercising all day.  I would love to have the energy and time to work out three hours a day but with small children and heading back to the workforce, it's impossible. It also provides an energy boosting formula using key herbal extracts
I suffer from being a multi-tasker and I don't get enough sleep so having an energy booster and the ability to fight food cravings sounds wonderful to me.  The Diet 1234 contains Lychee Fruit Extract, African Mango, Raspberry Ketones, Guarana Seed Extract, Green Tea extract and Citrus aurantium.  It sounds like a winning combination of ingredients from the research I have done in the past.

I'm definitely excited to participate in this 90 day weight loss challenge with Creative Bioscience and will continue to provide updates as I move forward. One lucky follower will be able to win their own product once I provide my final review after the 90 day period.

The Never Ending Birthday



In April, my middle daughter had a mini birthday as my oldest and my grandbaby came for a visit.  We knew we wanted to have a Hello Kitty themed party so we decided to get a cake and a couple of small presents along with some flowers.  Later, we had the big Hello Kitty party for both girls since they wanted the same theme.  Danielle was happy because she had her big party.  So when it came time for her birthday, I let her have her cake, flowers and a small gift a couple of days ahead of time.  


Big mistake!  On the day of her actual birthday, she wanted to know where her presents were and so I explained that she already received gifts two other times.  Then she went into this long teary eyed discussion asking me if I understood what birthdays were and what was expected at birthdays.  There was no reasoning with her especially since she's a hot head!


 




I confess that I spoil my children.  She did get one more cake but no more presents.  Luckily, my parents sent her a gift that she was able to open yesterday and that diverted the disaster.  She also discovered a loose tooth so that took some of the heat off myself!  I have five interviews forthcoming for a job and am not quite sure how well they will do once I return to the work force.  I am lucky that wherever I end up, my oldest, her daughter and her fiance will be coming with me to be my full time nanny.  The girls are definitely excited about that!

Win a Cooler Full of Wholly Salsa and Guacamole #foodfunhop 7/15

 

**This Sweepstakes Event Hosted by: Shy Babies & Little Inspiration**

with a little help from Nearly Nothing and other Super Bloggers

Wholly Pineapple Salsa! The only thing I could think when I got this great cooler full of Wholly Salsa was put that pineapple salsa on some chicken! All I had to do was take some chicken breast and lightly season them. I then sauteed them in a dollop of olive oil and cooked them thoroughly. Wa La! Add some Wholly Pineapple Salsa and it was delish! You could really taste the Pineapple, which is perfect for chicken, and it had a little tang with the bite of salsa flavors. Not quite spicy (just the tang) but it did give you that impression without the burn. The Wholly Pineapple Salsa was especially a hit with my husband who loves salsa.

 

We also made an appetizer with the Wholly Guacamole and Salsa Verde. Umm... not all of it made it to the dish as we ate while we prepared it. This Wholly Salsa Verde with Guacamole is absolutely perfect. The taste of salsa verde stands out and you can taste the guacamole at the same time. It was a taste sensation that had us scraping the bowl clean to get it all. This was also a very easy dish because we wanted Wholly to do all the work. We simply took a can of refried beans, topped that with some sour cream and layered it with the Wholly Salsa Verde and Guacamole. We then topped it with some shredded cheese. Need I say that it is all gone?

The recipes sound delicious!  I love Wholly Guacamole myself and can't wait to try the Wholly Salsa Verde.  I'm a huge Mexican dish fan and even love guacamole on my sandwiches and salads.  It's good for you too!

Visit Wholly almost anywhere:

You will not be disappointed with the Wholly Salsa Verde and Guacamole if you love both. The flavors in this Wholly product are perfectly blended together. Yum. Win your own cooler full of Wholly Salsa and Guacamole Products by entering here. Here's a picture of what I got in mine. Yours may be a little different, based on availability, but you will be Salsa pleased!

Nature's Sleep Slippers Review & Giveaway 7/13 - US

Nature's Sleep




I love to run around barefoot but I also dislike having cold feet.  I have never found a comfortable pair of slippers that I continuously wear.  Actually, now that I think of it, I did but they started to fall apart after a couple of days.  I also have a very sensitive sensory and cannot stand rough textures.  My oldest things I'm very strange but all my socks have to be extra soft especially if I run.  When I first tried on my Nature's Sleep slippers, I was in awe.  They are the softest and most comfortable slippers that I have ever tried.  They are made of terry cloth and memory foam so as you step, your feet slips down in a cushion of comfort.  






Other key components include the ability to distribute weight to reduce pressure points and improve circulation.  Since they are made with genuine Nature's Sleep Next Generation Memory Foam, they naturally conform to your feet.  You can also wear them indoor and outdoors which my dad would love since they carry colors (pale blue, pink and sand) for both men and women.  They even come with a 90 day limited warranty.  I haven't had to clean them yet but they look like they will hold up well.  
 


I definitely love them and recommend them for yourself or as a gift.  I still have them on as I am typing this post.  My younger ones are envious and want to wear them.  I definitely want to try out a pillow and mattress if they are as comfortable and soft as these sleepers.  All I can say is ... ahhhh!


Nature's Sleep also carries mattresses, pillows, toppers, pet beds and foundations and frames.  They are a global manufacturer and distributor of specialty sleep products.  They also relay on sustainable practices that help to protect the earth's natural resources.


The Giveaway:


One reader will win their own choice of Nature's Sleep Slippers.

1 Month Supply Rejuvasea Skincare Product Giveaway 7/23

I always like to help fellow bloggers out and so I'm helping to cross promote this giveaway. I hope you enjoy her review and giveaway!  A few months ago, I stumbled across this awesome offer for a free months worth of Rejuvasea skincare products. I figured it was too good to be true, but signed up anyways. About 2 weeks later a box with 3 products showed up in my mailbox. I couldn't wait 'til bedtime & I immediately tried out my new score.

I started with the exfoliating cleanser, the first thing I noticed was the fresh, clean scent. It kinda smells like rain, if that makes sense. It has a grainy texture for gentle exfoliation of the dead skin cells, but it's not overly rough, even on the delicate skin under the eyes. It left my skin feeling so smooth and squeaky clean, without any residue.  The second step was the Firming Serum. I was pleased to find that it had the same fresh scent as the cleanser did. The directions say to use it twice daily, after using the cleanser. It can be used alone or under makeup. It's not greasey & absorbs quickly.

The third step is the 2 minute eye lift. I kid you not, when I say I noticed a visible difference in the tiny lines around my eye. I'm just now at the age where those tiny lines are kinda bothersome, so I was really impressed by this. It felt really nice & cool as I applied it and it didn't burn or sting at all. I love the fact that these products contain all natural ingredients, my skin can be kinda sensitive, so this is a major plus.

I rarely ever spend money on targeted beauty products, such as these, but I would totally buy these products. (If I hadn't already spent my "free money" on diapers)

Have you tried Jenny Craig?  I haven't but have tried Weight Watchers and Nutrisystem without much luck.  I think I enjoyed Weight Watchers the most as the food is good and the plan is easy.  I do best when my calories are counted for me but I still have that lack of support at times.  I've been impressed with the Jenny Craig commercials but am still trying to do it on my own.  Right now, you can register for a free consultation.

Pamper's and Jennifer Hudson's Lullaby and Goodnight


Nothing is more special than having a child and you don't quite realize that until you have one.  It's something I repeatedly tell people.  There is just something about the love you have for a child that cannot be compared to any other love.  After my friends have a baby, they always tell me I'm right and now understand what I mean.  I wanted to share the new efforts Pampers has going on with Jennifer Hudson and her rendition of "Lullaby and Goodnight" on the Pampers Facebook page celebrating their commitment to the genuine, joyful nurturing of babies everywhere through music.  For over 50 years, Pampers has been helping to care for the happy and healthy development of babies. 

Beginning next month, in addition to being able to download Jennifer's lullaby recording, parents will also be able to interact with the Pampers Lullabies app on Facebook, which will allow parents to create their own lullabies using original Pampers musical tracks, post them to the Pampers gallery for others to view and share them with family and friends!  Parents will soon delight in personalizing their own sweet baby serenades with the help of this musical tool.

I just listened to the track and it's beautiful.  Ms. Hudson makes the lullaby even more endearing and loving.  It's soothing and lovely all in one.  Click on the Pampers link above to hear it for yourself and stay tuned for more from Pampers.
