Bain de Terre: Raspberry Plum Color Enhancing Hair Care Duo Review

Bain de Terre: Raspberry Plum Color Enhancing Shampoo and Conditioner Review + Giveaway

There are few colors that I am unwilling to dye my hair – even deep reds. I have no fear. Once upon a time many years ago I decided to take my sandy blond hair and make it deep strawberry blond. At the time I did not tell anyone, and for most of my friends I provided them with a shock and awe they never saw coming.

Since then, while I have little fear, I understand how lucky I am with my sandy blonde “California girl” color. I still love to give friends and family a little shock and awe, when I saw a color enhancing line and colors of hair care from Bain de Terre I knew this would maintain natural look I have come to love.

Sheila G’s Brownie Brittle Review

Sheila G’s Brownie Brittle – Review + Giveaway

One of my favorite things to do when I was younger was to bake, and devour the batter that created the final result that would inevitably be less than originally planned.

Of all the things that I could bake, I chose brownies, I learned quickly that not only are these adaptable, but also very good from batter to brownie. My favorite part of the completed brownies are the crispy parts on the edges. There is something about the crunchy parts of a brownie that make the edges uniquely crunchy and tasty.

A couple months ago I was walking through the store, and noticed that my favorite part of the brownie had been bagged, and brought to the masses. From that first notice to now, Sheila G’s Brownie Brittle has expanded and added to the original first flavors of brownie brittle.

IntelliDent Disposable Toothbrush Shield Review

IntelliDent Disposable Toothbrush Shield – Review and Giveaway

One of the biggest struggles that I deal with is the struggle of keeping my toothbrush clean between uses. I have two very active cats that love to jump on every surface of my home, including the counter and medicine cabinet.

Since it seems no matter where my toothbrush begins the day, by the end of the day it will be in a totally different spot. So when I was approached to review the IntelliDent Disposable Toothbrush Shields I thought this may help guard against this disaster in the making.

Blüm Beverage: Zen Blend and Uplift Blend Review

Blüm Beverage – Natural Botanical Elixir: Zen Blend & Uplift Blend Review and Giveaway

If there is one thing I love, it is to relax and watch television with my cats. While many of my peers add a glass of wine to their relaxation rituals, I do not. The avoidance to wine had multiple reasons, including I get a headache, I am not a drinker, but the biggest is that I simply do not like the taste of wine.

The downside to this is that when all my friends have a drink at a party, I am the one without a wine glass. I tend to fill my glass with juice, to not be left out. I have often thought that it would be nice to have an herb based drink that is non-alcoholic and can be served in a wine setting.

When I recently got an email from Blüm Beverage who created two alcohol-free, botanical elixirs that caters to Non-Drinkers, I was interested.

ManeLine Hair Care: Shampoo Alternative in Bamboo Mint Review

ManeLine Hair Care: Bamboo Mint Premium Shampoo Alternative Review and Giveaway

There is no denying that I love my shampoo’s and conditioner combinations and this is nothing new. When I was younger I would see new hair cleaning product’s advertised and I would immediately want to get what was being shown and added to my collection of scents and varieties. There is something that I have recently learned – it is ok not to wash my hair every day. Hair makes natural oils, that while they can be unsightly, they are not bad for our hair.

Given the fact that I love my scented shampoo’s and conditioners I decided that it might be interesting to give something new, and out of my comfort zone a try. Since I am so fond of hair care items, when I saw ManeLine Hair Care and their alternative to these combinations I love so much I was definitely curious.

WOWBUTTER Review

WOWBUTTER Review and Giveaway

When I recently attended the Gluten Free + Allergen Friendly Expo I was on a search. I was looking for alternatives to my beloved peanut butter. Despite loving peanut butter & Jelly sandwiches, I have found that I end up with severe re-flux a couple of hours after eating.

In the past I have tried different nut butters, and have found a couple I really like. Since I am a fan of different types of foods and tend to go a phase eating only one particular type, it is always better to have more options available to me.

As I mentioned, when I went to the expo, I as on a search for peanut butter alternatives. As luck would have it, I had a sample in my bag from a company called WOWBUTTER. As I tried this sample I was amazed how much it tasted like a high quality peanut butter.
