I recently received a free coffee/creamer mix in a canister by Nescafe & Coffee Mate! I received the flavor I requested, which was Hazelnut. It was delish and this will definitely continue to be what I grab for when I want a cup of coffee! The bonus is definitely not having to purchase a creamer separately! I also received 3 coupons for more free coffee/creamers! Thanks Smiley360 ! Creamy coffee made easy!

I've never tried Argan Oil before so I was in for  a treat when I was sent a 2 oz dropper bottle of 100%  pure  'Argan Oil'  from  UNI . There are many uses for Argan Oil such as a cuticle softener, body oil, a leave in conditioner as well as a facial moisturizer. There are many more ways that you can apply Argan Oil. This Argan Oil contains ingredients that were imported from Morocco. They are very simple. Organic and Natural Argania Spinosa (Argan) Kernel Oil, Vitamin E & Essential Fatty Acids.  It has no fragrance and it doesn't have that greasy feel to it. You don't need that much when applying with the dropper as a little bit will indeed go a long way. I love this and I had just ran out of facial moisturizer so this is perfect! Right now, on  Amazon , you can purchase a bottle of your own for only $14.27. It is backed by a money back guarantee so if you don't find it works for you, let them know!  Disclosure: I've received t...

I was so excited to receive a new box from @Influenster to try out, the ModaVoxBox! I really enjoyed pretty much everything in here! Loved the Puff's tissues. It came in a nice, soft pack and I used them immediately. I have use for them everyday. :) Needless to say, I went through these pretty quickly! I enjoyed the Swiss Miss Cocoa Milk Chocolate. I received 1 packet of this to use with hot milk. This was delicious and I topped it off with mini marshmallows! The Jergens lotion was great. I use it everyday and brought it to work for us to use in the classroom. I'm going to need a larger bottle of this esp with this cold weather! I received a tube of Rimmel London Lipstick and also their white lip liner . I used the lipstick once. It was too bright of a color for me, and I didn't like the white lip liner. I liked the new Rimmel Mascara, Scandal Eyes in 'Rockin Curves' , in black. The Clairol 'Angel Food' in Honey Apricot had such a great sme...

I've never tried ' Big Slice Kettle Cooked Apples ' before and boy was I surprised how wonderful these are! I received 8 pouches for review, each a different flavor. I enjoyed each one of them except for the one with the hemp seeds. The apples were delish. I just don't like hemp in the one pouch. When I got these pouches, I thought they felt mushy but to my surprise when I opened up the first one, I thought, "wow"! There really are apple chunks in these and the sauce is great! These are very healthy~all natural and under 100 calories and they come in 16 flavors! Each pouch that I tried had a really nice flavor to them. I wish I had MORE!! :) You can find 'Big Slice' at your local Target.  I have GREAT news for my readers! I'm giving away a set of your very own!! Simply go to: Big Apple Slice :  and let me know what flavor you would love to try! Comment below with your email addy also. I'll end this giveaway tomorrow evening. ...

 You spilled coffee on your shirt before walking out the door. Ran late to your appointment. Snapped at your children, then regretted it all day. And spent an hour at the grocery store with no dinner on the table to show for your efforts.  A typical day has come and gone.  Life is full of obligations, emotions, and relationships. Some are life-giving, yet sometimes the weight and responsibility of everyday life is heavy to bear. As wives, mothers, friends, and daughters, we need to know we’re not alone. We long for someone who understands—someone to help us find perspective.  When our days are long, and our nights are restless, it’s easy to think we should be able to handle things on our own. Or that no one struggles like we do. And that’s when we need a friend … to encourage us, to understand us, and help us become the woman God wants us to be.  You’ll find that friend on the pages of the NIV Real-Life Devotional Bible for Women . Filled ...

  I love candles! I don't know a person that doesn't. I recently tried some Soy Candles from Old Factory Candles . I've never burned soy candles before. They're hand poured, made out of natural soy wax, use pure fragrance oils and they have self trimmed cotton wicks. These 2 ounce candles come in small glass jars with black screw tops.   I received two sets of candles. The first one that I chose was the 'Coffee Shop' set which contained three  2 ounce candles. The scents were: Coffee Bean, Hazelnut and Chai Tea. I was really excited to burn the Coffee Bean but it didn't smell like Coffee Bean to me when I burned it. Rather a little too strong and to me, not 'coffee like'. The Hazelnut one was my fav out of this set that I was most looking forward to and another relative of mine loved the Chai Tea scent that was burning which was nice as well.   The 2nd set that I received was called: 'Happy Holidays' . In this set, the can...

I recently tried Dr. Song's Organic Rosehip Oil . It has a mild scent and it's not what I expected. Not having tried Rosehip Oil before, I thought that it might have a 'flowery' scent. It doesn't but at least it has no over powering scent whatsoever. This 4oz, blue, glass bottle didn't come with instructions or a how-to apply this product but after some research, Rosehip Oil is good for: healing scars, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles, Strengthen brittle nails, good for the cuticles and helping heal burns. This product doesn't have a greasy feel to it but the oil will properly absorb into the skin. I plan on updating this post later when I get to trying it on stretch marks, cuticles and other areas! I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com . Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

I've never had eco friendly mold pops growing up. These 6 Bee Sili Mold Pops come in bright colors and they're fun to use! This is something that's great if you have children so you can put Kool-Aid in or any other juices. You can also put nuts, grapes, whatever you desire. I personally love to use them for those snacks and they're pretty portion sized as well! These molds are safe for you and your family to use, FDA approved and  100% BPA free, non-toxic. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com . Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

  Vitamin D promotes a healthy heart, strengthens bones and teeth, supports immune health and supports muscle energy.  I have a deficiency in Vitamin D and when that was found out, I was put on 50,000 IU's for 6 weeks, taking one of them each week. Then, to proceed with Vitamin D3 5000 IU's when I was finished those. I am taking these once a day with food. They're made with organic GMO-free Extra Virgin Olive Oil which I think really wonderful! You can purchase the Vita Optimum Vitamin D3 5000 IU for $24.88. You get 360 pills so this will pretty much last you an ENTIRE year at that awesome price!!  I'll update this post later when I have my next lab work done and will post the results!   I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com .

   I've never tried Austrailian Tea Tree Oil before and having the chance now to do so has been an interesting experience. Not only did I receive this for review but I also received a '53 Uses for Tea Tree' e-book. When I unscrewed the top from the bottle, I can't say that the smell was a pleasing one but it a strong scent. I never knew that Tea Tree Oil had so many uses! From household cleaning and disinfecting, masks, toners, facial washes, body scrubs more, this product is quite handy! It's a 4 oz bottle that's pretty large and it will def last a long time let alone if you use it daily. You don't really need much of it when using it because it's pretty potent.    I did try a receipe from their e-book! I wanted to make a body scrub, a simple one so I chose a 'Replenishing Tea Tree Oil Body Scrub'! Here's what it called for: ½ cup raw brown sugar 8 drops Apothecary Extracts Tea Tree Oil 1 tbsp. raw honey  ¼ cup sesame oil   ...

  I love garlic and love to put in my spaghetti sauce and anything else to give a kick to my meals. This garlic propresser by Orblue is stainless steel and it's a beauty!   I was so excited to get to work and try this product out! I peeled my cloves and then put them into the presser. I discovered that if you use more than one large clove, it'll be pretty difficult to mince. At least it was for me! Putting two small sized cloves works well. I tried the presser with the peelings kept on and it made it did make it harder that way for me to press through so I could mince the garlic. So, I prefer them peeled first, makes it easier for me to use.       This is the finished product showing my minced garlic using the Propresser Garlic Press ! It's a great product and the garlic smells delish! The propresser is easy to clean also. Just use some soap and water. In the corners, you'll have a little of the garlic in there so, I used a butterknife to get i...

I received Number One Nutrition's Advanced Probiotic for review.  When I first heard about Probiotics several months ago, it was recommended to me by my Physician because I was taking a strong antibiotic for an illness that I had. The antibiotic I would soon take would kill the good bacteria as well as the bad. So, she recommended that I take a Probiotic especially while on the medication that was being prescribed for me. So, that's when I was introduced to Probiotics. Probiotics are good bacteria that perform a very important role in our digestive, metabolic and immune system. They produce enzymes that break down the food we eat, regulate vitamin intake, and convert sugars to the essential nutrients our bodies need. You take 2 capsule pills daily. A bottle of 60 pills will last you a month. I think once I'm done with this bottle, I'm going to keep on taking these. They're a a better deal than some other Probiotics which can cost a lot more ...

  Graze is a snack company providing 4 perfectly portioned size snacks in each box to their subscribers. When you sign up, you can view all of their snacks and rate them.  I'm going to share with you the ones that I got in my first box! Up first is the 'Scrumptious Blueberry Swirl'. I'm not a fan of yogurt raisins but I think with the cranberries, blueberries and blackcurrants all together just made some good happen in this lil box! Next, was the 'Brownie Flapjack'! Oh. My. Word. Delicious!! It was delightful with the oats and brownie pieces together! I ate them slowly because I knew once these 3 lil guys were gone, that I wouldn't see them for a while! :) Regular granola bars simply don't compare imo. These were soft and quite yummy! My favorite from this box indeed! I put this one as 'LOVE' when rated.   The third snack in my box was the 'Salted Fudge & Peanut Cookie'. Thi...

  So, I decided to give Treatsie a try! It's a monthly artisan sweets subscription box service. They have a card that comes in every box telling you about the goodies in it. I love that they let you know the value of every item in the box. The Cost of Treatsie is $15 a month plus $4.95 shipping. There was a code that I used to get my FIRST box free, and you can too! Just pay for the shipping! Use coupon code FREEBOX22 .  The items in the box were by: Olive & Sinclair, The Salty Road, and Brittle Brothers. This box value is: $26. The salt water taffy by 'The Salty Road' was pretty good! I received mine in the 'Bergamot' flavor. When I looked up the word, 'Bergamot', I discovered that it came from Bergamot oranges! It's has a light taste to it. You can't really taste the orange. It was good though! I devoured the box within a couple of days.  The Cashew Brittle was delicious! I loved it! It was so good. It came in a small package s...

    I love trying new snacks! I got my first box from Nibblr.com for free. You can also when you head to http://bit.ly/1kJzzMC and enter code: FBFIRSTBOX. Their boxes are $5.99 and they can deliver weekly, bi-weekly or once a month. Their boxes are pretty cute!   When you sign up, you can view all of their snacks and rate them. Now, when I rated them, for the ones that I thought I would love, I rated 'Love It'! However, I didn't get any of the boxes that I marked as, 'Love It'. So, if you do sign up....just a warning that you may not get those items. Also, if you rate, 'No Thanks'....they won't send that snack to you and that's a good thing.   The snacks that I received are: 'Coco's First Date', 'Salt and Pepper Cashews', 'Caramel Apple' and 'Berry's Hat Trick'. They're portioned sized just right. It even has the Nutrition Facts on the back of each pack which I think is ha...

  I've had my NIV Life Application Study Bible for 15 yrs now and I love it! They recently came out with the 'Life Application Study Bible Devotional' and it's so nice to have this devotional to go with the Bible that I use. There are 250 key events in the life of Jesus and they're found in the Gospels. The 250 events were organized into 52 larger sections to create this devotional. It will take you a year to go through all of the events in Jesus's life, meditating on each one. Each day has four sections that gear you towards responding to God's Word.   Reading the Word Setting the Scene Getting Personal Talking to God   If you want a devotional that has more of a study to it, I recommend this one because it has life application for what is being taught. Putting God's Word into action will equip you to be the person He wants you to be and you'll be growing closer to the Lord Jesus. *Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this boo...

  I'd say that I've really been interested in Bible prophecy the past year. I really love knowing that we're in the end times and there is much to look forward to! I received the book, 'Perfect Ending' by Robert Jeffress to read for review. This book on Bible prophecy is an easy read and I enjoyed it! I've always held the pre-tribulation view. Where, the saved, born again in Christ will be raptured before the seven year tribulation and that we won't have to endure death for our faith. The 'Post Tribulation' side says that the rapture will happen after the Tribulation period. Either way, all that matters, is that we're ready to go at any time. I want to be on the first flight out of here as Jeffress says! I love the LORD and if I have to suffer for my faith and die for it, there's no greater honor than to lay down our lives for JESUS! This book helps you strengthen your biblical knowledge and to stay close to Christ. Everyone's eternal f...
