Product Review: Glade Expressions Collection via @BZZAgent

Check it Out!  I finally got my Glade Expressions Collections BzzKit in the mail... my mail is so frustrating lately... and I was so excited to see all the coupons!! 

I got a coupon for a Free Glade Expressions Fragrance Mist Starter Kit, a coupon for a Free Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser Starter Kit and a booklet full of extra coupons to share!

So having tried these before, I was so excited to get this because I lost the ones I had in the fire and now I can replace them with an added savings!

 

First off I love the look of the Glade Expressions collection.  The spray bottles are so unique that you can leave them right out and they don't look like spray bottles and the diffusers are decorative and blend so well with so many settings.  I love the Pineapple & Mangosteen and I love that I can get a diffuser and a spray in the same scent.  I am not a scent mixer, like to stick to one throughout the rooms.  One of the hardest parts for me living in an hotel is the smells, there are a ton of them that I hate, so being able to control the odors inside my rooms is awesome for me.  I know I can escape the food smells in the halls and the overwhelming cologne smells in the elevators and the cleaning smells in the lobby. 

 

I love all the scents that Glade has available but I chose the Pineapple and Mangosteen this time.  I have used these before and have actually had a Glade Expressions House Party, so I am super familiar with this product.  The diffusers are so cool.  I love the way they look, they blend well with any setting and they are so natural looking.  Easy to deal with too!

 

What I love most about this line, other than how well the sprays work, is that I can get a spray in the same scent as the diffusers that I am using in a room and that I can leave my bottle right out on the table!

 

 

Unless your familiar with it, you would never know what it is upon just looking at it.

 

I am a Glade Expressions fan, and I will continue to be!

My @Ivory Brand Challenge Prize via @Influenster

Check it Out!  I finally got my Ivory Brand Challenge Prize via Influenster!  It has been stuck in the forwarding process at the United States Post office and since it got sent to like 3 different places and had to be reshipped or whatever... I had to pay $9.51 to get it!  So lesson learned, don't have packages forwarded, takes twice as long and costs extra! 

Anyway, I am excited to get my Ivory bars, 10 of them!  And my Ivory liquid!  We are gonna be super clean for a while now!

My Memories Fab Friday Freebie - Masks

Check it Out! It's time for another My Memories Fab Friday Freebie where every Friday you can come on back here and check out a new link to an exclusive Free My Memories download.

This weeks Freebie are some cool Maks that you can GO HERE and get.

All of the Friday Freebies will now be MyMemories Suite Compatible. What does that mean??? It means that you can now load the freebies directly into your MyMemories Suite Software, and then completely customize them with any paper and embellishments that you have.

Don't have the software? You can purchase the My Memories Suite Digital Scrapbooking Software and get a great deal on it right here at Check it Out! with Dawn! When you use code: STMMMS78766 you will get $10 off your purchase plus a $10 credit towards purchases in the My Memories store.

You can now access the freebies through the store, instead of as a direct download. This means that if you ever buy a new computer, your computer crashes, or you accidentally delete a file, you will be able to access it in your My Downloads section of your MyMemories Account. This means you will need to have to a MyMemories account to access the downloads but don't worry, accounts are always free.

TIP:
You can right-click on the white guide and lock it in place to keep it from moving while you are working. Make sure this is the top layer of your project before printing.
Instead of adding the paper as a background paper, you can add it as an embellishment so that you can move the paper around. This is especially useful when using papers with stripes or circles, so you can decide which part of the paper you want to use.
Once it is added as an embellishment, you can now select the paper and move it into the position you want it.
Just SAVE and PRINT on cardstock. Fold it up following the lines to create your photobox.

Check out this Video Tutorial that shows you how you can use outside content with your My Memories Suite Software and see how easy and versatile this scrapbooking software is!
Just look at my fab blog header! I made it using my MyMemories Suite!

So as you can see, it's all goodies!  And some healthy goodies at that.  Here are the products that

 were inside:

Mystic Harbor Purple Corn Tortilla Chips with Sea Salt
Made with purple corn, a super food that contains more antioxidants than blueberries!  I'm not a huge blueberry fan, but I do love these!  Not only are they good for ya, they are good!  They taste just like a corn chip, only better, a crisp clean taste and they are cute!
The kids weren't to sure about them because of the color, but once they tried them...  yep, they asked for more!

Crum Creek Soy Nut Trail Mix

An organic blend slightly sea salted soy nuts, raisins, pumpkin seeds and chocolate chips.  This snack was featured in Oprah's magazine as part of Dr. Oz's 28 Day Plan to Renew Your Body, Mind, Soul.

Werther's Original Caramel Apple filled Hard Candies

A smooth caramel candy shell with a creamy filling that tastes like caramel dipped apples.

Well as far as I am concerned, you can not go wrong with a Werther's Original and add some caramel and it's a winner for me!  I love caramel and I love apple and I love these fab little candies!  Perfect for fall!

Enjoy Life Plentils Crunchy Lentil Chips

Made from one of the best sources of plant based protein lentils, these chips are better than regular chips and they are bursting with flavor.

I am excited that I got coupons as well, because although I am not a huge fan of margherita, I can not wait to try the garlic and Parmesan Plentils that are available as well.

Balance Bar Mini Energy Bars

Made using the proven 40-30-30 nutrition principle, these tasty 100 calorie treats contain seven grams of protein, 23 vitamins and minerals and come in a variety of delicious flavors.

I got the Cookie Dough bar and the Double Chocolate Brownie bar and let's just say these little guys were not around long at all.  The brownie was delicious and by far my fave.  I could get use to eating these daily and much healthier than a regular brownie or chocolate bar.

So overall I am satisfied with my Cravebox again and although I feel like I didn't get anything that really WOWED me, I did find some new healthy snacks that not only I like, but the family as well, so money well spent!

Book Review: Courageous Teens by Michael Catt with Amy Parker

 

Courageous Teens

by:  Michael Catt with Amy Parker

 

My Review:

Courageous Teens is an awesome hands on method for teens to gain control over their destinies.  With practical applications and questions that can be used individually or in a group study setting.  Broken down into 4 sections... Courageous Faith, Courageous Leadership, Courageous Priorities and Courageous Influence.  The book talks to todays generation in a language they can understand and it's an amazing way to teach teens to be courageous and to step out in their faith now!  Short enough to keep their attention but full of uplifting examples using strong biblical characters and examples from the film "Courageous". 

I will be passing this along to each of my children. 2 thumbs up!

 

 

*I received this book compliments of Handlebar Marketing for purposes of this review, however all opinions are my own.

@UGLeePen Review & Giveaway (closed)

Check it Out!  Writing is something I do everyday and I enjoy it, but I will admit that I am picky about my pens.  I have standards and I have my favorites.  But I love to try out new pens as well, I get little excited when I find a new fave too!

I recently got the chance to check out a new pen called the UGLee Pen!  I know not a pretty name but a really cool pen it is! 

As you can see from the pic above the UGLee pen isn't an ordinary pen, it is a specially designed ergonomic pen that was created and actually used by a physician!  It features a Doctor inspired grip that can help eleviate pain and discomfort for those that experience pain when writing.  It is also a great help for kids that are working on fine motor skills or even special needs children who have difficulties holding a pen correctly.  If you take alot of notes or do alot of writing this pen can help keep that cramping of the hands and fingers away!

I really didn't know what to think about this pen when I first got it... I mean it is a little different looking! 

But that strange looking grip is actually super cool!  It conforms to your fingers and makes for a comfortable and firm grip when writing.  No slipping with this pen.  The grip is a jelly like feeling and seems awkward at first, but after just a few minutes of using it, it felt so comfortable in my hand. 

I love doing crossword puzzles while soaking in the tub so I keep a pencil or pen in the bathroom with my book so it's always there when I take a bath.  My pencil point broke and I asked hubby to bring me a pen or pencil and he brought me one of the UGLee pens from my desk.  At first I thought, I can't use this near water, but it actually was perfect for the situation. 

Because it's got the grippy handle, there was no slipping, even with sometimes wet fingers, which had me thinking that these pens would also be helpful to sports moms, ball moms, swim teams, etc...  Because the grippy is jelly, the pen doesn't roll away either, like a traditional stick pen.

Wanna win an UGLee pen of your own? 

Time for...

Enter via Rafflecopter form below to win a 3 pack of UGLee pens.  US residents only.

#ClearHair ScalpTherapy via @SheSpeaks Mission

Check it Out!  Having really long hair, I am forever in search of that perfect hair product for me.  I get dry dead ends and I usually have to use a dandruff shampoo on my scalp, not for dandruff, but for the dry skin. 

 

A while back I joined the Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy Program with SheSpeaks and after completing the first part of my mission, which was going into my local Walgreens and finding the Clear Scalp display, I have been eagerly awaiting my Clear products!

Since my mail has been missing in action since forwarding it to my moms house I just got my full size Clear Hair & Scalp Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner last week.  I have been using it since and it's been about 7 days. 

 Did you know that 99% of hair’s natural strength & beauty comes from the scalp?

And a nourished scalp is the foundation for strong, beautiful hair.

Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy gives you stronger, more beautiful hair in 7 days.  The average scalp has over 100,000 hairs and I probably have more and the first three layers of your hair are super important, that's why Clear works so well, it starts at the scalp!

I love the scent of both the shampoo and the conditioner and it's thick enough that I don't have to use a huge amount, like I do with some shampoos and conditioners. It left my hair shiny and my scalp nourished and healthy feeling.  I don't wash my hair everyday so sometimes that can be a test in itself for some products, but I didn't have dry or oily hair the next day and it kept my scalp nice feeling.  I really like this product and so does hubby!  Even though he doesn't have alot of hair, he said he loves the smell and how soft his hair was after.

You can head over HERE and get more info about all the Clear Shampoo & Conditioners that are available, they even have a mens line! You can take the Beauty Therapy Quiz and get expert tips as well!
