Country Crock from Influenster

Influenster along with Country Crock asked me to create some yummy recipes to test out how Country Crock stacks up to butter. I made this classic cookie recipe (add recipe)
It was fun to have a reason to bake cookies. They turned out amazing.

I recieved a voucher from Influenster to get the country crock free for my honest opinion.

Garnier Olia Hair Dye Party

Recently I hosted a Olia hair coloring party.Garnier sent me a party pack with brightly colored hair clips and a wide variety of Olia hair dye.The party pack:

I invited over a few friends and let them all pick a dye and the party began.We took turns applying the dye to each others hair and pinning it up with the clips.While we waited we had a snack and watched a movie.Finally it was time to rinse out the dye.

Everyone was really excited with the color choices. One of my friends wasn't ready to dye permanent so she just hung out with us.Everyone looks amazing.This had Sally wanting to try a dye so I sent her home with the Medium Golden Brown since it was close to her natural color and she didn't want too big of a change.

This is me before and after dying my hair! I used the Light Intense Aurburn.

I love my hair.The color is lush and rich.My hair was left feeling so soft and manageable. Thank you Garnier Olia for helping me throw a great party!

Garnier Whole Blends

I was lucky enough to get to try Garnier's brand new shampoo and conditioner line Whole Blends.
In my free review package I received:
5 samples of Whole Blends Honey Treasures Shampoo & Conditioner packets 5 samples of Whole Blends Coconut Oil and Coconut Butter Shampoo & Conditioner packets 5 samples of Whole Blends Coconut Water and Vanilla Milk Shampoo & Conditioner packets.

<I was super excited to try this new line with natural ingredients.First I tried Garnier Whole Blends Honey Treasures! It smelled just like 'warm vanilla' It left my feeling so soft and smooth.I was very pleased with how it worked.

My daughter tried the Garnier Whole Blends Coconut Oil, and Vanilla Milk. Her hair was so shiny and silky after using it.I could realy see a difference in her hair and it was radiant, her curls really stood out.

(Blowing kisses after trying the new shampoo)

Finally , I tried the Garnier Whole Blends Coconut Oil, and Cocoa Butter.This one was just as amazing as the other two and smelled great.It had a light coconut scent that reminds me of Summer time.

Amope Pedi Perfect Wet and Dry Foot File

I received the Amope Pedi Perfect free from Crowdtap for my honest opinion.

I was so excited to get it, It can be used wet or dry, and it's RECHARGEABLE! 

How cool is that?

The Amope has a nice thick handle, but is small enough it's comfortable to hold in my

little hands, but also my fiancee's bigger hands.

It's easy to charge with its easy to use charging base.

to charge all you have to do is plug the USB port into the wall charger, or can even use 

your computer. Then you place the Amope on the charging dock and tada! it's charging.

It's bigger than I was expecting, but in a really good way.

It has 2 speeds, and a strong motor. It gently removes the dead/dry skin

from my feet, and it can also be used on elbows.

 

The roller head is removable and can be replaced with another file head, or they even make buffer, and smooth heads to interchange it with.

After only a few days I can already tell a big difference in the feel of my feet, They are much softer.
Even my fiancee likes to use it on his feet.
That makes it a huge win in my book.

*Monkey's 2nd Birthday Party*

My little girl just turned two. Time has flown by, seems like she was born yesterday.
Well i let her pick out her own them, she picked out a really 

fun and bright party theme. It was Pink, Black, and White 
zebra stripes, with Hello Kitty touches. She loves all things 
Hello Kitty. Send her packages. Just kidding or am I? :) 
We picked up her Zebra Print decorations at Dollar General and
it was super cheap.Everything was $1 each except the table 
cloth and it was a whole $2.Talk about cheap decor.

We had a great menu that included: cheeseburgers , hot dogs, steaks,and ribs.
The snack buffet included: mini candy bars, chips, juice 

boxes , Easter candies, and Keebler bars. We got most of 
the snacks on sale at Target, and Kroger!

*Cake Time*

The food was the bulk of our budget, but worth it. We did a 
Hello Kitty cake and cupcakes with Hello Kitty ring toppers.

Avery loved the cake. She actually squealed when she saw it! That's a huge win in my book.

Present Time!!! 
Who doesn't love presents? She received some really great presents.

I'm going to review a few of the ones she got.

1.

B. Meowsic Keyboard by B. Toys~ 

My daughter loves it. She can do it all by herself, which is what every toddler wants.

The microphone is attached to a cord that it on a push button wind up ( like vacuums have)

Brightly colored to attract the attention of kids of all ages.

The music note button does a birthday song. "The week before my Birthday my Daddy gave to me"

The cat head button plays a different cat songs.

The piano keys make different 'meow' sounds.

And the stop button makes a the music and sounds STOP. 

Can change the volume, and tempo with 2 easy buttons. 

Can record with the microphone and play it back.

(you do have to put your mouth right against the microphone to be able to pick up any sounds,

but Avery loves it anyway.)

There are 5 different types of music to choose from, Avery likes the Rock and Disco options the best.

It has 5 different instrument sounds, an easy on/off switch so she can turn it on/off all by herself.

The sounds are all very clear.

2. 

What Kids Want Doc McStuffins Bowling Set~

Where to start with this one? It's a great indoor and outdoor toy.

Each pin has a picture of one of the main character's on it.

The ball is the perfect size for Lovette's little hands.

Listerine Healthy White Vibrant Anticavity Mouthrinse

            On day one the Listerine Healthy White Vibrant Anticavity Mouthrinse was brand new to me.I had not tried it before and was eager to test it out. When I opened it the first thing I noticed was a very nice strong mint scent. It had a pleasant taste and was alive in my mouth.It had a slight tingle and it foamd up a bit.This was exciting as I felt like it was cleaning deep in my teeth.Each day I used it I felt this wonderful clean feeling.Finally on day 5 I took a new photo and I could see a slight difference I think after regular use I will see even more improvement.I have suggested this to friends and it i now my regular mouthwash.

Garnier Color Sensation

I just tried Garnier Color Sensation 3:26 deep burgundy for the first time and it is great.

It is super easy to use and doesn't have a strong yucky smell.The kit includes a brush to make sure you get the roots and get even coverage.One box covered my below shoulder length thin hair.This was amazing since similar products I have to use two boxes.

I am very pleased with the rich lush color.It left my hair feeling super soft and easy to manage.I would recommend this to a friend.
