Giveaway: Ozeri Pro Electric Wine Bottle Opener

2012-01-26T21:52:00.004-05:00

Ozeri Pro Electric Wine Bottle Opener with Wine Pourer, Stopper, Foil Cutter and Elegant Recharging Stand, in Rubberized Black

The Ozeri Pro Electric Wine Opener in Rubberized Black makes opening wine bottles easy while entertaining your guests at the same time. Designed for home and restaurant use, its latest generation battery now opens up to 40 wine bottles with the gentle push of a button, all on a single charge.

The Ozeri Pro Electric Wine Opener is completely cordless and includes an elegant recharging base with an LED charging indicator. The Pro also ships with a free always handy foil cutter to remove wine seals, and a bonus wine pourer and stopper. The Ozeri Pro Electric Wine Opener opens both natural and synthetic corks. It also boasts a new ultra light-weight design, a faster motor, and an ergonomic rubberized soft grip for effortless handling. Use it at home or take it with you to impress your hosts and guests before the first sip.

Product Features
- As seen in restuarants, the Ozeri Pro Electric Wine Opener makes opening wine bottles easy and entertaining.
- New improved 2nd generation battery opens up to 40 wine bottles on a single charge.
- Opens a bottle of wine in just seconds with push button ease.
- Ultra-light cordless design features an ergonomic rubberized soft grip that fits in the palm of your hand.
- Includes an elegant recharging base, compact foil cutter and a bonus pourer and stopper.

I was so excited when we had the option of reviewing this product! We have to strain our wine because we end up with pieces of the cork in our wine. This device is super easy to use even for people like us! It seriously even takes the foil off the bottle which usually gives me troubles also!

This wine opener is really small & doesn't take up too much room for storage! Another awesome feature is that you can reuse the stopper for later use! Make sure you hold the bottle of wine because like I did it will spin the bottle also.

You can purchase this product on Amazon!

If you drink wine occasionally or often this is the perfect product!

One very Lucky person will their own Electric Wine Opener!

Giveaway: The Amazing Mat

2012-01-26T14:40:00.038-05:00

The Amazing Mat
Clear plastic sheets capture dirt, dust, mold and pollen
The Amazing Mat is not an ordinary rubber, fabric or grass door mat. It is constructed of separate layers of specially designed clear "sticky" sheets that collect dirt and germs when stepped on. When the top one gets dirty, simply peel it off (along with the dirt) and expose a new sheet. The mat is safe and easy to walk on for adults, children and pets.

The Amazing Mat comes in a variety of designs to go with every décor
A hard plastic 25"x31" mat is the foundation of the Amazing Mat system. It comes in a variety of designs and has a non-skid backing so it can be placed on hard surfaces or carpet. The sticky sheets attach easily on top and create a cost-effective means of keeping your home clean and sanitary.

The Amazing Mat's powerful antibacterial adhesive is proven to catch and capture dirt, dust, pollen, mold, and up to 99.9% of germs and bacteria from your shoes and traps it on the mat...
- Save your health – provides a cleaner, more sanitary environment for your entire family
- Save time – less dust means less vacuuming, mopping and cleaning!
- Satisfaction Guaranteed – cut your cleaning time in half, or your money back
- Save the environment – recycle used sheets with your other plastics

With ordinary doormats, microscopic particles of dirt, dust and bacteria are tracked into your home every time you open your door. The Amazing Mat traps these harmful contaminants at the door, before they are tracked into your home. Use at any high-traffic area from your front door to your back door, deck or garage – also perfect for pet owners! Keep paw prints, fecal matter and other invisible contaminants from being tracked in on your pets' paws.

One of my first thoughts when I heard about this mat was that it's probably flimsy! Well I was quickly proven wrong when I took the mat out of the shipping box! This mat is in no way cheap & the size is much bigger than I pictured! I think it looks really nice instead of my stained up mat in front of the door! Below I have included which mat I picked!

Oriental
This bold pattern adds a touch of elegance with an Asian flair to your home. The red, black and tan colors make a rich accent with many color schemes.

One very lucky person will win their own Amazing Mat to try out!

Giveaway: SpermCheck Fertility

2012-01-24T14:31:00.009-05:00

SpermCheck Fertility
Fast, Accurate, Private…SpermCheck Fertility
The Only At Home Test For Men
Trying to get pregnant? Seven million couples who will try to have a baby this year will have fertility problems, but did you know that male infertility is the cause of half of these issues?

SpermCheck Fertility is a simple and reliable, FDA-approved test, done in the privacy of your own home, which can quickly inform men as to whether their sperm count is normal or low.

Because low sperm count is a leading cause of male infertility, an important first step in planning for a pregnancy or determining the cause of a couple’s current infertility issues is to test the man’s sperm count. However, a trip to a fertility clinic for a semen analysis is not for everyone. These tests can be expensive (costing hundreds of dollars and not typically covered by insurance), and are often embarrassing and inconvenient.

Whether you are planning a pregnancy in the near future or have been trying to conceive, this inexpensive home test can help couples to save time, money and frustration.

Now with a new at-home test kit called SpermCheck® Fertility, men can test their sperm count in the privacy of their home. SpermCheck Fertility is the only FDA approved, 98% accurate home test for men – it’s as accurate as a lab test but more affordable and convenient. In just 10 minutes, the easy-to-read results indicate a normal or below normal sperm count. The SpermCheck Fertility test costs substantially less than a visit to the doctor without the embarrassment and indignities of providing a semen sample to a doctor or nurse.

Why SpermCheck® Fertility?
•SpermCheck Fertility FDA approved
•SpermCheck Fertility is as accurate as lab testing – 98% accurate
•SpermCheck Fertility is private and convenient – done in the privacy of your own home
•SpermCheck Fertility is affordable —just $39.99
•SpermCheck Fertility is fast and easy – provide easy to read results in 10 minut

SpermCheck Fertility is currently available online at www.Walgreens.com and will be available in Walgreens stores nationwide in April 2012.

One lucky person will win their SpermCheck Fertility!

Giveaway: $50 Gift Card to Kidlandia

2012-01-24T14:20:00.002-05:00

Kidlandia
The founder of Kidlandia, illustrator and entrepreneur Brian Backus, has been living in a fantasy world of maps and monsters since he was a very little boy.

Kidlandia grew out of Brian’s 2004 concept to create personalized maps of imaginary kingdoms for children’s rooms. He believed that by providing children their own kingdoms, with friendly monsters as companions, kids would gain an increased sense of confidence, control, and self-worth. In addition, by naming the cities, islands, and other features of the kingdoms after family and friends, kids would feel more connected to those who love them. Brian, who produced educational multimedia titles for Disney and Voyager, was also intrigued by the idea that by engaging kids in namesake kingdoms, he could motivate them to understand maps, and accelerate reading skills.

Although the maps cost up to $2,000 and were only sold by word of mouth, Brian could not keep up with demand. He received consistent feedback that the maps were among the favorite gifts of a lifetime. In response to this encouragement, he determined to make the maps more widely available, and at affordable prices. Kidlandia was born.

Today, Kidlandia is comprised of a team of talented engineers, designers, and business professionals. Kidlandian team members share a passion to bring delight and meaning to the lives of children and their families. 2.5% of Kidlandia’s founding stock has been set aside as the basis for a future charitable Foundation benefiting children.

I can't even begin to explain how awesome the website is! The products are just as great! If you want to open up your child's imagination this is the place! Not only do they offer interactive games but also great products that are perfect for any kid! Below I have included some of the products offered!

Giveaway: The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast

2012-01-20T19:11:00.003-05:00

The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast
This book is an inspiring resource for Christians who want to pursue a more intimate relationship with God through the 21-day commitment to prayer and fasting known as the Daniel Fast. As you deny yourself certain foods—such as sugars, processed ingredients, and solid fats—you will not only embrace healthier eating habits, you’ll also discover a greater awareness of God’s presence.

The book explains the Daniel Fast in easy-to-understand language, provides 21 thought-provoking devotionals for each day of the fast, and shares more than 100 tasty, easy-to-make recipes that follow fasting guidelines. In a conversational style, I help you structure the fast so you can spend less time thinking about what to eat and more time focusing on God. You will also discover that “to fast” means “to feast” on the only thing that truly nourishes–God’s powerful Word.

Includes:
• Create your own fasting plan, including tips on how to prepare physically and spiritually.
• Understand the history behind the Daniel Fast by looking at Daniel’s fasting experiences.
• View fasting from God’s perspective as outlined in Isaiah 58 and other related passages.
• Sense God’s voice more clearly.
• Recognize God’s work in your life so you’re ready to step out in faith when he prompts you to act.
• Apply Scripture to your everyday circumstances through the 21 daily devotions.
• Move beyond self-centered praying into powerful intercession on behalf of others.
• Organize the food portion of your fast with more than 100 recipes and a 3-week meal plan.
• Fuel your body with food that won’t leave you feeling guilty.
• Focus on God while feasting on tasty recipes and His powerful Word!

One very lucky person will win their own Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast!

Zeiss Corrective Lenses Educational Tools

2012-01-20T15:54:00.002-05:00

Zeiss Educational Tools
Zeiss has created a nice selection of tools to help you better understand the importance of the correct lenses! Below I have included information that I have pulled from the website!

Eye examinations are an important part of health maintenance. Based on vision tests, an eye care professional prescribes the optimum lenses to help sharpen vision. Having the right lenses is critical to seeing and experiencing life to the fullest.

Today, around 200 million people around the world are wearing glasses fitted with Carl Zeiss Vision lenses. Day after day, 10,400 employees in over 30 countries are committed to “better vision” and are developing not only lenses for eyeglasses, but also measuring devices and diagnosis tools. As a result, Carl Zeiss Vision has established itself as a true global leader in the field of eye optics.

When you order your lenses along with frames do you know where they come from? I have never ever gave it a second thought to ask.

Every eye is just as unique as a human fingerprint, and none of our other sensory organs allows us to experience and sense our environment as intensively as our eyes do. This is why it is especially important to accommodate that individuality in the consultation, diagnosis and in the manufacturing processes of our spectacle lenses.

The Right Lenses Can Help You Experience Life to the Fullest
Below I have included some key facts we should know when going for an eye exam and/or getting glasses.

Children should have eye exams:

a.At ages six months, three years and when beginning school.
b.Every 2 years (even with no vision issues) to check for early signs of eye disease.

Adults should have eye exams:
a.Every two years, even with no vision issues.
b.Annually starting at age 40 as your eyes start to experience natural age-related vision changes.

When selecting eyeglasses for your vision correction, you will also be choosing your eyeglass frames, the type of lens and lens coating. Be sure to let your eye care professional know about the activities you participate in when wearing glasses.

Not all lenses are created equal. Zeiss Individual® is the first progressive lens to integrate how your frames, face and prescription work together for a one-of-a-kind lens that is precisely personalized for the wearer. ZEISS technology is used to create these customized progressive lenses, which are clinically proven to be preferred by consumers over conventional progressive lenses to improve their vision and quality of eyesight.

Know your coating options:

a.Anti-reflective: Reduces reflections to a minimum for crisper, clearer vision in all lighting situations.
b.Anti-scratch: Provides optimum protection against scratches which can interfere with vision.
c.Anti-static: Repels dust and dirt so lenses stay cleaner longer.
d.Hydrophobic: Dirt and moisture slide off the surface, so the lens is quicker and easier to clean.
e.PureCoat® by ZEISS: This high-tech coating offers all-round protection including hard anti-scratch coating, anti-reflective coating, and the anti-static function all in one.
f.UV coating: Some lens materials block 100% of harmful UV rays. Those that don’t require a coating or treatment that offers full UV protection.

CLOSED Giveaway: Licenders "Essentials" Lice Kit $65

2012-01-20T15:20:00.003-05:00

Licenders
Licenders is a professional service for the safe screening and removal of head lice, using 100% natural products. Licenders has been helping families, schools, camps, and physicians get rid of head lice for over 15 years. Our lice removal services are designed to get your child back in school the same day. We offer house calls, and we have lice treatment centers in New York and Connecticut.

With a team of 60+ highly trained professionals and a non-toxic natural comprehensive product line, Licenders has established itself as the premier lice elimination brand in New York City and the surrounding areas.

Adie Horowitz, the founder of Licenders, is a mother who felt like she had nowhere to turn when her children were diagnosed as "having lice." As an informed mother, Adie insisted that there must indeed be alternative methods for removing lice without using the highly toxic products that were in the marketplace.

With significant research, Adie created her own lice removal process and product to handle her problem. Within three months, Adie's services were in such high demand by mothers that had heard of her lice removal success that she was faced with the need to open a business to help others in need. With a recent resurgence of lice throughout Europe and the US, Adie's company, Licenders, has ridden an enormous wave of success since 1996.

This kit includes Lice Shampoo, Natural Oil, Lice Repellent, the Licenders Metal Lice Comb, 1 small towel, 2 hair clips, and instructions for treatment.

Our Lice Shampoo is gentle, all natural, and hypoallergenic. Our clinicians use this shampoo to treat tens of thousands of children each year. It contains natural enzymes which kill the lice on contact. Apply 1 to 2 ounces of shampoo to the hair. Work up a good lather. Comb out the lice and nits while the shampoo is in the hair.

Licenders Natural Oil greases the hair, and stops the lice from feeding and laying nits. This provides additional protection, just in case the shampoo did not come in contact with all of the lice. Before putting your child to bed at night, spray the hair a few times and lightly massage the oil into her scalp. You do not need to saturate the hair with the oil. If you don't want to get any oil on the bed linen, you can put a towel underneath the child's head.

Licenders Natural Repellent is made with all natural ingredients. Lice hate the smell and stay away. Spray the nape of the neck, behind the ears, and on the wrists. Use the repellent daily. This bottle contains enough repellent for sixty days, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

The Licenders Metal Lice Comb has teeth which are very close together, enabling it to remove ALL of the nits. Lice shampoo does not kill the nits. The job of the lice comb is to thoroughly comb out all of the nits. Most other lice combs on the market will fail to get out all of the nits. If the nits are allowed to remain behind, they will quickly hatch into lice. The Licenders Comb fits comfortably in your hand. It can be sterilized and reused.

This kit literally has everything you need to help your kids get rid of or keep the lice away! It's all in one little bag to keep everything together! As parents, we now how hard it is once the kids get lice to get rid of & keep them away. We also know how embarrassing it is for the kid when they get sent home from school with lice.

Another very important fact I did not know was how essential the lice comb is to treating lice. The repellent is also a great product to have on hand especially when you know there is a lice outbreak or even before!

One very lucky person will win the Licenders "Essentials" Lice Kit $65

Giveaway: My Friendship Bracelet Maker

2012-01-20T14:54:00.003-05:00

My Friendship Bracelet Maker

While babysitting his granddaughters, they asked David to make friendship bracelets with them. This is a trend that’s had a recent surge in popularity as moms teach their kids this age old tradition with a bit of nostalgia. Friendship Bracelets are seen all over TV, and Tweens everywhere are making them.

The process of making them involves securing a knot (online instructions will tell you to pin to your pants or hold with a nail in the wall!) and keeping the strings in order while knotting the threads. After one experience with the grandkids, David decided their must be a better way! Crorey Creations was able to tap into some of the best talent in Detroit (engineers, graphic designers, website developers) who have unfortunately found themselves unemployed in this tough economy. After many engineered drawings, prototypes and focus groups we now have a perfected, patented product. My Friendship Bracelet Maker is the right product (Quality Toy in the coveted craft sector), at the right time (current trend..focused on the right target demo = TWEENS) at the right price (under $25) and has already been named Dr. Toy’s “Best Vacation Products” Winner for 2010.

My Friendship Bracelet Maker’s design innovation loom lets you create friendship bracelets quickly and easily! Includes 56 precut threads in 14 different colors, and slide-out tray with inside storage keeps strings organized.

My Friendship Bracelet Maker is the easiest and coolest way to make your favorite friendship bracelet patterns! Everything you need to know is right here… check out our instructional friendship bracelet videos, and download printable instructions for all your top friendship bracelet patterns!

This Bracelet Maker is the greatest thing ever! Not only do you have a ton of options but you also have step by step instructions included on the website of "how to"! Even if you want a particular pattern they have a video to show you exactly how to make that pattern.

I wish this was around when I was a kid because any type of bracelets I wanted I had to buy. The beads are not included but that's nice because the kids can have fun picking out different beads to use! We bought sparkly beads & then went off the colors of the beads!

This is the perfect gift for any kids who loves to make bracelets & a great party idea! For the more experienced bracelet maker you can also include names which we haven't got to yet!

One very lucky person will their own MyFBM!

Giveaway: January 20th is National Cheese Lover's Day

2012-01-19T21:00:00.003-05:00

Emmi
National Cheese Lover’s Day (January 20th) is the perfect time to discover new Swiss cheese delights – and who better to share the latest trends in cheese than Emmi, one of Switzerland’s premium dairy companies.

Regi Hise, Corporate Chef & Director of Culinary Development at Emmi Roth USA, suggests celebrating National Cheese Lover’s Day with one of these four Cheese Trends:
1. Everything Artisanal – “Handcrafted cheeses made from fresh, all-natural ingredients maximize everything cheese lovers love – from the first bite to the finish,” says Hise. Kaltbach Cave-aged Le Gruyère Switzerland AOC is a classic and one of the great cheeses of the world. Whether it’s at mealtime or just for snacking, Le Gruyère delivers rich, full, delicious flavors.
2. Breakfast Anytime – Hise offers, “Easy and inexpensive, breakfast fare like cheese frittatas and omelets offer great options for lunch and dinner too.” For an easy and delicious surprise, make traditional Swiss Roesti Potatoes by adding Switzerland Swiss or Le Gruyère to shredded hash browns.
3. Fondue Fun – “Cheese Fondue is still a classic social meal that brings family and friends together over a shared fondue pot. Today it’s been updated and upscaled with specialty cheeses like Le Gruyère, Switzerland Swiss, Emmentaler, Appenzeller and a host of others. Try some special accompaniments for dipping like craft breads, soft hot pretzels and a selection of fresh cut fruit, fresh and pickled vegetables.
4. Melt It – “Melting cheese allows all its delicious flavors and aromas to be released. Whether it’s on cheeseburgers, mac 'n cheese, grilled cheese, deli sandwiches, pizza, or a hot bowl of French Onion Soup topped with Le Gruyère, comfort foods can easily go gourmet with the additions of specialty cheeses.

You don’t need to be one of the world’s great chefs to enjoy one of the world’s great cheeses. However you choose to celebrate National Cheese Lover’s Day, Hise has one strong piece of advice: “Just be sure you use top quality cheese made from fresh, all-natural ingredients. It’s the key to maximizing your cheese enjoyment.”

To help celebrate one of my favorite foods Emmi is giving away a Cheese Prize Package to one of readers!

Giveaway: General Mills Whole Grain Cereal Prize Package

2012-01-17T21:51:00.002-05:00

According to Dr. Travis Stork, emergency room physician and host of “The Doctors,” identifying whole grain products can be challenging. Shoppers can look for nutritional cues on the front of the box, but they need to read the ingredient list to know if they are getting enough whole grain. Ingredient lists detail ingredients in order of prevalence, and if the words “whole grain” are followed by a grain like wheat or oats, it means the food contains more whole grain than any other single ingredient. Here’s how to determine if your cereals have whole grain as a first ingredient:

With all the health messages facing grocery store shoppers, it can be confusing to translate what appears on food labels into nutritional needs, and hard to determine which foods have a meaningful amount of whole grain. Dr. Stork has some additional recommendations to help you include whole grain easily into your diet. They include:

Start Early! The Dietary Guidelines recommend people get at least 48 grams of whole grain in their daily diets. Get a jump-start on the day’s nutrition by incorporating whole grain into your morning routine. For instance, when choosing cereal make sure whole grain is listed as the first ingredient. One easy choice is cereal with the white check, which have more whole grain than any other single ingredient.

Make Simple Swaps. Choose whole grain versions of the foods you love. Great options include whole wheat pasta and whole wheat bread or even whole grain crackers. Also, try different types of whole grain. Use brown rice instead of white rice as a side dish at dinner or popcorn, which is a whole grain, for a snack.

Don’t Judge a Food by Its Cover. The front of food packages provide good nutritional cues, but don’t forget to read the ingredients and check the nutrition label and side labels for additional health information. Cereals with the white check even include the amount of whole grain per serving on packaging.

To help with choosing products with whole grain, General Mills developed “Fast Lane for Whole Grain,” an online educational game. Consumers can navigate virtual grocery store aisles and identify products that have whole grain as the first ingredient, with the option to enter a sweepstakes to win one of each of the 50 cereals with the white check.

Make a commitment to add more whole grain to your diet by simply pouring a bowl of cereal with the white check including Cheerios®, Lucky Charms®, Cinnamon Toast Crunch®, Honey Nut Cheerios® and Total®.

One lucky person will win 5 boxes of General Mills cereal with the white check!

That’s why we do the research and we’ve made it easy for you to find the most natural skin care products, body care products, natural herbal remedies and herbal formulas for skin & body care available.

Jade Stress-Relieving & Detoxifying Herbal Neck Pillow
Detoxify, relieve stress and promote relaxation with our exclusive Jade Stress-Relieving & Detoxifying Herbal Neck Pillow. Throughout the centuries Jade has been known for its power to detoxify and strengthen your mind, body & spirit.

Our Traditional East Asian therapeutic neck pillows are handcrafted and formulated with jade powder, lavender and all natural herbs, seeds and grains to relieve stress and tension. The unique blend of jade powder combined with our special formulation of herbal grains stimulates acupressure points on the neck to strengthen chi (energy), increase circulation and promote detoxification.

Experience the powerful properties of jade as you discover one of the oldest East Asian secrets of detoxification, beauty and relaxation.

The first thing that made me totally excited was the Jade used in this pillow! Jade is a wonderful ingredient when used as in mala or anything else when trying to meditate etc. One concern I did have before I received the pillow was the scent. I have to be very careful in the type of scents I have around me because of migraines. This pillow not only was perfect & a great stress reliever but never once introduced any type of migraine.

Meditation Soak
Immerse yourself in this wonderful bath of Asian herbs that is designed to help you achieve a deeper and more rewarding meditation experience. Release blocked energy from deep within your body and allow chi to flow optimally throughout your body. Your mind will become clear and focused while your body will become deeply relaxed, allowing you to attain a true meditative state.

Key Ingredients:
•Chinese Clematis Root – Relieves soreness and pain in joints, bones and tendons.
•Mulberry Root Bark - Aids in relaxation by lowering blood pressure.
•Stephaniae - Reduces swelling, heat and pain in the joints.

This is the only way I can describe this product! You know when you are so relaxed & you take a deep breath of comfort plus you feel all warm & bubbly inside? This is the perfect product to help you achieve that feeling of good health & relaxation!

I can totally see why it lowers blood pressure just from the pure relaxation! If you work out or just stressed soaking in a nice warm bath with a splash of Meditation Soak will make life perfect at least for bath time!

One very lucky person will win the Jadience Meditation Soak plus Herbal Neck Pillow!

About: The Oregon Trail: 40th Anniversary Edition
This game is available for both Wii & 3DS
The new Oregon Trail video game is set in the mid-19th century, just like the original computerized version. In fact, although this program is on Wii and Nintendo now, it still retains a great deal of the fun and educational aspects that have made it so popular with kids, parents and teachers over the past 30 years. Anyone who plays the new game on their consoles are sure to have a great time leading their wagon trains across the Oregon Trail.

"With our new edition for Wii and Nintendo 3DS, we've updated and modernized the experience to keep the game fresh, exciting and endlessly entertaining. Hunting, fishing and surviving on a wagon has never been this fun."

Oregon Trail has been a very popular item since it first hit shelves back in 1971. In the more than three decades that parents and teachers have relied on this game to teach their children about an important period of history, nearly 65 million copies of the software have been sold. For parents who are looking for a fabulous holiday present for their kids, this new Nintendo and Wii game might just be a great choice.

Westward Ho! Welcome to the Oregon Trail! Your job is to lead your family across over 2 000 miles of rough terrain from Independence Missouri to Oregon City in the middle of the 19th century.

Giveaway: Skindinavia Moisture Lock Make-up Finish

2012-01-14T16:52:00.005-05:00

About: Skindinavia
Skindinävia was founded in 2005 with the sole purpose of creating products that would keep makeup looking fresher. Our revolutionary “Makeup Finishing Spray” was originally used on movie sets in Hollywood, so makeup artists could have fewer touchups through long days of filming. Unlike makeup settings sprays of the 1970’s and 80’s, which were “hairspray for the face” or “shellac”, our mists are virtually weightless and look completely natural.

Quality
All our products work hard to create perfect 16 hour makeup. We manufacture in the USA under strict FDA Guidelines using allergen free ingredients. We test each spray under the most stressful conditions to be sure it meets our high standards.
Where do our ideas come from?
Our product ideas come from surveying over 1,000 women about how they thought their makeup could look better. We make five different finishes for the unique needs of our customers.

Who uses our makeup finishes?
Our first customers were makeup artists in Los Angeles and New York City who used Skindinävia to keep makeup fresh under high stress conditions on stage and set. In 2010, nearly 1,000,000 women worldwide discovered Skindinävia. We have been featured in top fashion publications such as Allure, Marie Claire, Self, Elle, Ladies Home Journal, Brides, and in Vogue Magazine as a 2009 “Top 10.” Our finishes are used on hit television shows like ABC’s Dancing with the Stars, Project Runway, and were used at the 2010 Oscar Awards in Hollywood.

Moisture Lock Make-up Finish

Features and benefits:

• Holds makeup perfectly over dry skin.

• Creates a luminous and dewy finish.

• Keeps makeup surface smooth.

• Stops cracking, creasing, and makeup caking.

• A great replacement to powder.

• Translucent and weightless.

• Hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested, and oil free.

Set and hold makeup over dry skin. This moisture loaded formula provides a dewy finish that glows, but is never shiny.

This formula is great for winter weather! When the air is dry and your makeup seems to not go on smoothly apply this finish to it. When you apply it, your makeup will not appear caked on or have cracks in the foundation. The solution helps to moisturize the skin without smearing the makeup. I like to use this when I know I am going to be out for an extended period of time.

One very lucky person will win the Skindinavia Moisture Lock Make-up Finish

All of The different scents in thise line of body washes are nice, but I especially liked the suttle hint of strawberries. Close your eyes, breathe deeply and imagine a fruit smoothie for your skin. Jojoba butter combines with natural seeds to gently exfoliate. The sweet, creamy formula helps skin retain its own moisture for a natural softness.

This Body Wash smells so good! Plus, I love the texture of the scrub to help wash off dead skin. My skin felt smooth after using. My son has sensitive skin, but he was able to use this body wash with no irritations.

The scent of sweet honeysuckle flowers splashed with tangy oranges — this is a fragrance explosion for energizing body and mind. Formulated with natural orange peel extracts for a truly citrus experience.

The smell that instantly pops out at me with this bar of soap is honeysuckle! It is a pretty strong smell that suprised me. I thought for sure I would be smellng the orange peel more. It is a wonderful awakening scent that will make you feel refreshed!

Giveaway: Bengay Cold Therapy and Bengay Massage Therapy

2012-01-14T15:19:00.003-05:00

About: Bengay
Bengay, spelled Ben-Gay prior to 1995, is an analgesic heat rub used to relieve muscle and joint pain. It was developed in France by Dr. Jules Bengué, and brought to America in 1898. The name Bengué was anglicized to Bengay. It was originally produced by Pfizer Consumer Healthcare which was later acquired by Johnson & Johnson.

A topical pain reliever is applied at the site of discomfort to provide temporary relief of minor aches and pains of muscles and joints.When you apply BENGAY products to sore muscles or joints, the pain reliever(s) in BENGAY Brand products work to temporarily block the perception of pain, providing relief.

Many BENGAY Brand products are formulated with a “vanishing scent” that starts to disappear minutes after it is applied. This means you could, for example, apply some BENGAY cream or gel when you are getting ready in the morning, and by the time you arrive at work or school, the scent would be virtually gone.

BENGAY Pain Relief + Massage Gel

•Massaging nubs uniquely designed to massage in the powerful relief of the BENGAY® gel
•No mess applicator design controls the product flow
•Vanishing scent starts disappearing in minutes

This no mess applicator is used best on your back or flat surfaced area. Once the gel is applied there is just a faint smell of mynthol. I like to put this on my lower back and my shoulders after a hard day of work.

BENGAY cold therapy

•Fast acting pain relief
•Same technology used by chiropractors and physical therapists
•Vanishing scent
•Provides a fast-acting blast of cold
•Ideal for muscle and joint strains or sprains
•Deep penetrating, long-lasting pain relief

This stuff has a powerful soothing effect! My husband uses this cold therapy on his ankles. Once again after applying, there is just a faint hint of mynthol.

One lucky winner will receive 1 cold therapy and 1 massage therapy Bengay product!

Review: Wholly Guacamole and Hormel Natural Choice

2012-01-05T12:32:00.001-05:00

About: Wholly Guacamole

In 1989, Dallas restaurant owner, Don Bowden began searching for a pre-made guacamole to serve in his Mexican restaurants. It had to be fresh-tasting and all-natural. The problem is that avocadoes start to brown as soon as you cut them open. He knew that solving this problem without using lots of additives and preservatives would not be easy. But to know Don is to love him; and if you know Don you know he doesn’t do anything the easy way. He does it the right way.

In his search, Don discovered High Pressure Processing (HPP) technology. It’s a process of preserving foods through the use of high-pressure water rather than with heat or chemicals and is used in the preservation of some meats and vegetables. With guacamole, the end product is a completely 100% all-natural, fresh tasting product that can be refrigerated for weeks and frozen for months. The salt in our product is used for flavor only. The HPP technology is also the reason our product is able to retain the same great taste, texture and natural vitamins while ensuring the highest level of food safety.

When Don helped HPP evolve in to what it is today, the process became known as “Fresherized”. Today, FRESHERIZED FOODS, home of WHOLLY GUACAMOLE®, is the world’s largest user of HPP.

Today, Don’s vision and drive is alive and well. WHOLLY GUACAMOLE is the United States’ best-selling brand of pre-made guacamole. We sell over a million and a half boxes each month through retailers like Walmart, Safeway, Costco and more. We’re also so proud of the consumer awards that line our hallways. We’re so proud of each award because we know people recognize our commitment to quality and great taste.

In 2009, we added WHOLLY SALSA®to our family. And then in 2010 we added WHOLLY QUESO®. And this is just the beginning.

Each package of guacamole, salsa and queso is made with the same principles that Don Bowden devised 25 years ago. Like our founder, we’re dedicated to providing the best product possible. We use real Hass avocados and natural ingredients that don’t include preservatives, artificial flavors or heat treatments. Our goal? To give our consumers made-from-scratch flavor and ready-to-eat convenience.

Wholly Guacamole® Classic

If you like the good things in life, you’ll love our WHOLLY GUACAMOLE Classic flavor. With just the right amount of spice and garlic, it’s sure to thoroughly satisfy even the choosiest guacamole lover! What people love most about our product is what’s MISSING!
What you won’t find is additives, preservatives, gluten or transfats. Our guacamole is all natural with 20 vitamins and minerals in every portion. And we promise not to tell the kids if you don’t! Perfect for parties, great with dinner or lunch, delicious as a snack!
Whether you put it directly in the bowl and serve it or add a little cilantro and tomatoes and pass it off as your own, we’ve got you covered. Go beyond the bowl by using WHOLLY GUACAMOLE on sandwiches, salads, breakfast burritos or whatever your favorite dish might be.

I really enjoy this guacamole!!! It is already prepared to use with no mess and no mixing of extra ingredients. My favorite flavor is the spicy guacamole. This brand is so fresh and it comes in serving size portions! I personally like to put this on my sandwiches and also to dip with chips. It is an easy healthy food to put in the kid's lunch boxes!
Speaking of making sandwiches...... I love to use Hormel's meat slices with the guacamole to make prize winning healthy meals. Hormel Natural Choice products are: 100% natural with no preservatives, Gluten free, No nitrates or nitrites added, No artificial colors or flavors, and no MSG added!

About: Hormel
Since 1891, the name Hormel has been synonymous with quality, value and innovation.

Our founder, George A. Hormel held a strong commitment to quality, which was based on providing his customers a superior product that would keep them coming back for more. This vision is kept alive with products that retain the quality and flavor of the first products he offered. Today, our innovative products are a flavorful part of breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and party solutions—all created with convenience in mind to accommodate the busy schedule of you and your family.

From the beginning, George was concerned about waste and cleanliness in the process of making great food products. In keeping with his high standards, Hormel Foods has been recognized for quality, safety and employee training. As a responsible steward of the environment, we have set goals to reduce the impact we have on the environment we all share. In addition, Hormel Foods is active through the Hormel Foods Charitable Trust, which focuses its community giving on education, hunger and health.
