Product Review: Fruit of the Loom's A Fresh Collection

Check it Out!  Just look at this fabulous selection of undergarments that I just received as part of Fruit of the Loom's Blogger Outreach Program.  I am so excited to share these goodies from Fruit of the Loom's A Fresh Collection Intimate Apparel and Sports Bras.  They have the most amazing selections of Bras, Panties, Sports Bras and sets that come in the coolest array of colors and styles. 

So Victoria is at the age now where she is also wearing bras (gasp, don't tell her I told you!) so she and I both were excited to get these new products.  So for me I have never worn the "Boyleg" style panties before but I really like them, especially with low rider jeans and shorts, much more comfy.  And as always with any Fruit of the Loom product I have ever owned, the quality is dependable and styles and choices are fabulous!  I have always liked the hipster style as well especially under dresses. 

Victoria of course loved the bold prints and of course she REALLY liked the boost she got from the "push up bra".  Little shocking for daddy though!lol  

I have always claimed to be brand loyal to certain products and under garments are one of those products.  I am a Fruit of the Loom girl with a little Victoria's Secret thrown in and now with the Fruit of the Loom's A Fresh Collection Victoria can get what she needs with the comfort, fun and color that she wants.  Thanks Fruit of the Loom!!

Check it Out!  Try A Fresh Collection out for yourself with this exclusive offer:

Get $5 off your entire order at www.shopfruit.com when you use code:  B2BFRUIT at check out.  That is like getting Free Shipping!  Not valid with any other offer, expires 10/31/11.

Hill's Science Diet Senior 11+ Age Defying Catfood Review

Check it Out!  This is Sparkles and she is the Queen of our house.  Very picky and very moody, she is definitly a character all her own and since she is just turning 11, we recently got the opportunity via BzzAgent to try out Science Diet's Senior Age Defying 11+ Cat Food and as you can see she and Glitter (our baby) both gave it a good sniff over as soon as the bag arrived.   

Even though she is considered a Senior now, Sparkles is an active cat, but she is showing signs of aging like digestion difficulties and fluctuating sleeping patterns as well as other behavior changes.  She is still a loving cat, when she wants to be, but she seems to be slowing down.  Hill's Science Diet Senior 11+ Age Defying cat food has a breakthrough nutrition that delivers the perfect mix of lean protein, omega fatty acids and antioxidants.  Which in turn makes a difference in your cats mobility and agility and increases alertness. 

So what exactly makes this food a breakthrough nutrition?  Well its the revolutionary formula that includes:

*An exclusive bundle of antioxidants that help defend the body and brain against aging

*Fish Oils and sources of omega-6 fatty acids for soft skin and coat

*High Protein and L-Carnitine levels for increased lean muscle mass

*Controlled levels of phosphorous magnesium and sodium for optimal bladder health (which means less accidents)

*Comes in a small kibble size that is easy to chew and digest

What I really liked was the Transition guide that helps you to switch your cat to the new food in a gradual manner that is gentler on their stomachs.  One of the first things I noticed is that the food is easier for her to chew because of the smaller size and she gets the entire piece.  With other cat foods she bites them in half and leaves the pieces on the floor.   There are no left overs of the new food.  She really likes it and her coat is beautiful and she seems to be getting more and more energy.   

This is an expensive cat food but for an older cat that is showing signs of aging this is worth the price.  According to Hill's, here are the Top 5 reasons to feed Hill's Science Diet Brand Pet Foods:

1.  To create the highest quality pet food and benefit your pet's health, Hill's employs more than 150 veterinarians, nutritionists and scientists

2.  Hill's offers the largest portfolio of premium products to meet your pet's special needs at every stage of life

3.  Science Diet dry foods include clinically proven antioxidants to help promote a healthy immune system

4.  Hill's has an ongoing commitment to helping shelter pets, as evidenced by its donation of over 100 million dollars' worth of food to over 1,100 shelters since 2002

5.  Science Diet is veterinarians' #1 choice to feed their own pets

  You can GO HERE to check out the Hill's Facebook page and when you GO HERE and you can ask a Hill's vet any questions you might have.

Oh, and it must taste pretty darn good because glitter chewed her a hole right in the side of the bag to get her some. 

*I received a complimentary bag of the product in this post via BzzAgent for purposes of this review, however all opinions are my own.

Snag a Free Bag of Fresh Express



Check it Out!  I recently received a Free Bag of Fresh Express Salad to give a try via Vocalpoint.  Fresh Express used the breakthrough, eco-friendly produce wash called "Fresh Rinse" that is 7 times more effective in cleaning salads than traditional chlorine wash but is still gentle on lettuce.  I tried the Spring Mix and I really liked it.  The greens were fresh and crisp and I thought they looked and smelled very clean.  I like the idea of bagged salad and enjoyed the taste but I do not like that it doesn't last very long, meaning it tends to go bad quickly.  Seems like once you open the bag it starts going bad.  But overall for quickness and freshness it is great.

Wanna give Fresh Express salad with Fresh Rinse for yourself?  Head over HERE to Vocalpoint and sign up if you haven't already to snag yourself a bag!

*I received information and a sample of Fresh Express via Vocalpoint for purposes of this review, however all opinions are my own.

Book Review: "Right from the Heart" by Bryant Wright



Right from the Heart

by:  Bryant Wright

About the Book:

For people on-the-go who want a daily dose of God’s truth for their life.

You want to spend meaningful time each day with the Lord, but about 10 minutes into your day the demands of life distract and pull at you, and threaten to overshadow your plans for quiet time. Pastor Bryant Wright lends helpful guidance for staying focused on God’s Word and applying it to your daily living. His to-the-point messages set the tone for living as Jesus lived, no matter your circumstances.

Setting aside just a few minutes each day with the Lord can change your heart. The condition of your heart can change your day. And the outcome of your day can change the course of your life for His eternal glory.

My Review:

This is a beautiful book.  The embossed cover and colors give it a very elegant look.  Designed for daily viewing, this book has 365 days of devotionals.  What a better way to start the day than with a healthy dose of God's word?  Really nothing!   Whether you are a devout christian or a just discovering the bible, this is a perfect beginning to your day.  This book provides you deep rooted truth to the way Jesus lived and helps to show you that no matter how you live, Jesus is there.  My husband is going to love this when I give it to him for Christmas this year.  A great way to start the year and every day.

*I received a complimentary copy of the book in this post via BookSneeze for purpose of this review, however all opinions are my own.

Book Review: "Dry as Rain" by Gina Holmes



Dry as Rain

by:  Gina Holmes

About the Book:

"From the bestselling author of Crossing Oceans comes a powerfully moving story that tests the limits of love’s forgiveness. Like many marriages, Eric and Kyra Yoshida’s has fallen apart slowly, one lost dream and misunderstanding at a time, until the ultimate betrayal finally pushes them beyond reconciliation. Just when it looks like forgive and forget is no longer an option, a car accident gives Eric the second chance of a lifetime. A concussion causes his wife to forget details of her life, including the chasm between them. No one knows when—or if—Kyra’s memory will return, but Eric seizes the opportunity to win back the woman he’s never stopped loving."

My Review:

I have never read any of Gina Holmes work, but I have to say that I am a new fan!  Dry as Rain is a wonderful story of love and life. When a tragic accident takes his soon to be Ex wifes memory, Eric has to decide to walk away from the already crumbling marriage or take a second chance that most couples never get and stay and wait. This book is written from Eric's perspective and takes you through the roller coaster ride of life and love, betrayal and redemption. This is a thought provoking story and as a married woman of 22 years I wonder could I forgive the ultimate betrayal and reconcile or walk away.  I just don't know.  This is a great read and a wonderful story for the heart.  I highly recommend it!
