French Toast School Wear Giveaway

Giveaway runs from Sept. 25th thru Oct. 4th so get your entries in now.

The opportunity to offer a giveaway to my fans for school uniforms is exciting. Thanks to French Toast for sponsoring! I dread back to school shopping and even more when you are on a tight budget. In our school district kids from 1-10 grades are required to wear uniforms and French Toast is like the official company that all stores carry for this area. I selected 4 items to review and it was hard to decide on sizes more than what products to get. When it comes to school shopping, I'm blessed to have parents who want to help out. I rarely pay for school supplies, clothes, or shoes, but what's difficult is always not shopping in advance. The last 3 years I always end up shopping late or waiting until the day before school starts to go out and purchase the items.

I decided to get 1 shirt, 1 pants, 1 dress, and a sweater. DD7 was in love with the dress which I knew with her being girly girl and all. With the weather slowly getting colder each day, she will have to hold off on the dress until I get some tights or legging to wear underneath. She hasn't gotten a chance to wear it yet, usually I have wearing pants and a polo shirt like this one.

Onli Review & Giveaway

I was given some to try for free. At first I didn't think I would like them. But it turns out they are great.. My favorite one was the Hibiscus Pomegranate. They have several flavors. Here is a few: Huckleberry Pomegranate, Hibiscus Pomegranate, Lemon Watermelon, Espresso Swiss Hazelnut, Green Tea Lemongrass Mango, and Unsweetened Hibiscus Strawberry.

Onli beverages are All Natural Chef inspired sparkling beverages with ginseng in every bottle. The sugar free has a different taste (more tart). Its more like an Italian Soda than the fake American Soda. Though even the sweetened ones are tart. They don't have a strong sugar taste. They are also non-carbonated, that is great. 

So if you want to try a case of Onli Beverages then enter via the Rafflecopter below.

Axe

I was give some Axe products for my husband to try. I also got hairspray for me. Well I gotta say I love the hairspray. I use a little bit and it holds my hair all day. I hate when I have to weigh my hair down with hairspray. Though with Axe it was light and left my hair manageable. Which is perfect. And the smell was great too... I found my new hairspray thanks Axe.

Now for my husbands experience... He got the Apollo collection. He loved the way the body-wash tingled while cleaning. LOL. He said he felt so clean after using it. He also loved the 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner . He said his little bit of hair felt so soft after use. (he has a buzz cut). So really no need for conditioner... The deodorant kept him feeling fresh and clean all day. And well for me I loved how he smelled after taking a shower. It was a pleasant smell throughout my bathroom.

Now if Axe can make a women's line, it be awesome. I love the smell of the Apollo Collection.  So if you have a husband or boyfriend and you want a GREAT smelling guy.... Go get him some Axe Apollo Collection products.

Thank you so much for making my husband smell better than ever before Axe!!

Newman's Own Organic

I was given some products for free to review. All the products were great. Most people hear organic and think yuck. I use to be one of them. I try to feed my family, healthy. Though it is not always the easiest. Well Newman's Own Organics has made it a little easier for me, with their new line NOO. All the products I tried surpassed my thoughts and taste. Of course everyone in my house had their favorites. So I will tell you about those now.

My favorites were the Organic Pretzels thin sticks. They were lite on salt and big on flavor. Which is what I love. They are the perfect anytime snack. Made from organic unbleached wheat flour, organic brown rice syrup, organic sunflower oil, salt, yeast, and soda. They are a healthy alternative to regular pretzels which have a high salt intake. These NOO organic pretzel sticks have only 1.5 grams of fat, 110 calories, 180 mg sodium, 22 g carbohydrates, 4 g dietary fiber, 3 g protein and NO SUGAR per 30 grams of pretzels (about 22 sticks). I LOVE THIS!!!

My kids favorite was the NOO Newman-O's. They loved dipping them in milk. The kids fought over who was gonna hold the pack at the table. So I took them away and just gave each a few. The cookies have BIG flavor in every bite. My youngest took his a part and eat the cream then the cookie. I thought that was just so cute. Though I couldn't get a picture as kept swarming so I couldn't. I will buy these great awesome healthy cookies for now on.

My husbands favorite was the NOO Oatmeal Chocolate chip cookies. He took the bag to work with him. So he didn't have to share. LOL He said he loved them because they didn't taste like they were healthy for him. He hates anything that is organic, if he knows it. So it was shocking when he kept bragging about the cookies. He finally brought the bag home with a few left. When I tried it I had to read the package as they did not taste organic at all. Though they are. Such a little cookie with such a great texture and BURSTING FLAVOR! I usually don't eat cookies but now I will eat NOO Oatmeal Chocolate Chip cookies.

And last the whole family loved the Sour Licorice Twist. They are not very sour but are bursting with the flavors. I tried the sour strawberry, sour apple and sour mango. I loved all of them and so did the rest of the family. Also don't forget the chocolate. I tried the Super Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cups, Super Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, and the Milk Chocolate Caramel Cups.

Needless to say everything we got to try was BURSTING with GREAT FLAVOR!!!!! Also on a side note the person I had the honor to work with was such an AWESOME, SWEET, GREAT & VERY FRIENDLY. I had some problems and she fixed them quickly and made sure I was happy. THANK YOU SO MUCH!! (You know who you are)

I will be doing a giveaway for a few items so keep your eye on my blog. Thank you all very much.

CheriBundi Review & Giveaway

I was given a case of this great juice. I love cherries, so I knew I would love this. It is tart and sweet at the same time. I also tried their 7 day challenge. I thought it would be hard to do.. And well it wasn't. I did complete it. I think this is a great way to clean and restore your body. The first day you drink two of the cheribundi drinks, then one a day for the next six days. I think this is perfect for anyone. Whether you are a runner, mom on the go, business professional, or a do it yourself person, this is the drink you need.

I do a lot in my everyday life. I am a mom, a runner, a do it yourself-er, and a Chef. I don't always have the time to take care of muscles/body. So when I got this to try it was perfect. I can just grab one of these perfect size bottles and keep going. After the first couple days I started feeling better. My muscles/body didn't hurt as much and I felt more relaxed. So again if you are to busy to take care of your muscles/body then give this a try.

Dizolve Review & Giveaway

So I was give a box of Dizolve to review. At first I thought how could one little strip clean a whole load of laundry. Well I used it today for the first time, and I liked it. My clothes smell clean and even some of the stains were gone. It is ultra concentrated so you use a lot less. Each strip contains the perfect amount for one load of laundry. NO MORE MEASURING!! Some of its other perks are its healthier, more economical and its safer for our planet. LOVE THAT!!! I can't use a lot of laundry soaps due to allergies. With Dizolve it hypoallergenic, free of 1,4-dioxane, phosphate free, biodegradable, and safe for your septic. Also GREAT!! It is so small that if you have to go to the laundromat to wash clothes, this is much easier.  Most Americans use more liquid detergent than is need. Meaning lots of money wasted. I personally HATE wasting money. (it doesn't grow on trees) :(  So if you hate wasting time and money, then Dizolve is for you. It just makes sense. Who wouldn't want an easier way to wash clothes. And save money while doing so.
Dizolve also has a fundraiser program which helps support different fundraiser for groups like schools and Sierra Club Canada. #dizolve @mydizolve

Dizolve has also offered to give one lucky reader a year supply. (6 boxes of 72) So make sure you enter the giveaway below via rafflecopter.
