**Josephs Lite Products**Sugar Free, Diabetic**

     The Joseph's Lite Cookie company was founded in November 1986 by Joseph Semprevivo who is a diabetic himself and was on a mission to create a good tasting , sugar free product to the consumers. He created an arsenal of products and has become very established at some of our grocery stores. Some of his items include(but are not limited to):

• Sugar-Free Cookies (13 flavors)


• Sugar-Free Peanut Butter


• Sugar-Free Maple Syrup


• Sugar-Free Sweetener


• Sugar-Free Dessert Flavored Coffee (6 flavors)


• Sugar-Free Cookie Puffs (3 flavors)


• Fat Free Cookies (3 flavors)

     My kids had never tried these cookies though we had seen them advertised in stores(as well as on QVC), and when I came upon the company who better to ask about their products then themselves?? I received a variety of products to review and was fortunate enough to have kids that enjoy trying items that are new to them:)

this is a sampling of the variety of cookies they offer. Each  and every one has a distinct, unique flavor. They are bite sized, perfect for little hands, very soft texture(not grainy, or dusty). The product comes in a sealed pouch container and they are just as fresh when you open them as they are meant to be. There is no lingering aftertaste, the flavors taste just like the real thing. The only problem is the packaging allows for the product to become jostled around enough that it was hard to find a full cookie look a like.

 

The product is Kid Kritics approved and my kids were very impressed.

     The next product I received was the

  Josephs Original Sugar Free Syrup:

For my kids this was a little concerning to be using, if one didn't like it none would eat it :/ So crossing my fingers it was used on a weekend breakfast and I quickly put the syrup back in fridge after serving kids.. The verdict was........They didn't notice a thing. So I tried it and was very impressed it tasted very comparable to other quality products. The flavor was just as sweet, no sweeter than others, easy to pour(not thick, or thin) and I felt like this was a big plus for my kids.

The last item i tried was the

   Salt Free no Sugar added Peanut Butter:

The peanut butter is made with a Valencia Peanut and is low carb, low calorie, salt-free, Kosher, Pareve, and best of all, great tasting. No Sugar Added! Im going to be honest, we are not a huge PB fan house and I found the PB to have a genuine rich peanut butter taste. Not sweet nor salty just tasted very peanuty. I thought it was good

Americas Most-Loved P&G Products (shespeaks)

     Being a part of an elite group of bloggers always has its advantages and being in some of the best communities doesn't hurt either :) I have been a member of SheSpeaks for some time now and have the best opportunities to review some "one of a kind products". This month though was not "one of a kind" but rather" Americas Most Loved" and yes America voted..did you??


sorry for the huge picture but the computer is giving me issues :( This is the contents of my Most Loved box as we are a larger community many members got different things so we all have something to review in a variety of ways.
First thing I received was (in no particular order)
 **Covergirl LashBlast..in black 100% more volume instantly with the biggest brush EVER from Covergirl, volume boosting formula and larger brush give you that extra BOLD look that you have been searching for. Covergirl is sold at a bunch of locations including Target and online. I just love a lash boosting mascara!!
**Febreze Car Refresher in Linen&Sky scent as a vent clip, attach clip to vent using built in attachers, follow the easy to follow directions, adjust the amount of scent you need to eliminate odors in your car. I enjoy just having a refresher in my car as much as in my home it just lifts your mood.
**Gillette Hydrating body Wash..dry skin relief..apply to a cloth or puff and use as you would bar soap to eliminate body odors, creates a nice lingering scent. Perfect for the man or boy in your life, that's who used it in my home.
**Swiffer Dusting cloths..these are little pads you attach to the enclosed handle, they slip on your preference front or back of handle. Over the years we have acquired multiple handles and my kids really enjoy using these themselves. The cloth is super soft and fuzzy and traps the dust and dirt into grooves. They are unscented and perfect for hard to reach places including ceiling fans.

*MommyParties*-Xtreme Customz line

     I had the opportunity to provide "MY" and my neighborhood kids with the chance to try a great new online product at my kids Easter Party Thanks to  MommyParties and Xtreme Customz line. It was amazing to see the excitement of the kids and interest in building the vehicle for them self(with some adult supervision). I had kids at my home, boys and girls, aged 4-12 each had fun either building theirs or helping the ones needing help, but all walked away with one of their own.
     The cars are no bigger than a small cell phone with snap on pieces and each is interchangeable so the creation can be their own. They have adjustable chassis so they can decide how they are going to cruise, super cute, my littler ones didn't understand and my bigger ones really just had fun taking them apart and rebuilding sharing pieces.
     The instructions are easy to understand and the pieces are perfect for little hands. These cool Xtreme Customz line vehicles can be part of your collection by shopping at some online stores(amazon, target, toys r us and CVS).



The kids had a great time

Parnevu Hair Products

   




      I had the chance to try a great line of products from Parnevu that contains T-Tree Oil. Tea tree nourishes the hair and scalp, prevents breakage,strengthens and stimulates growth,stops itching, flaking and removes unwanted buildup.
     When I first received I was kind of concerned as to if the product would benefit my hair because "I" myself have not tried a Tea Tree product in my hair. I have naturally curly, uncolored strawberry blond hair, my hair is long past my back it is fairly thin and my main concern is flyaways and breakage. The company did give me the chance to review the products and what I chose was not exactly what I received but Im easy going and I was up for anything :)
     The first product I tried was the Tea Tree Shampoo
I thought this to be fantastic for shampoo the portion to use is very small because it does have a great lather and it does really create a very soft yet squeaky clean feel for your hair. It has a very unique scent kind of like a menthol minty smell(I wasn't too keen on the smell but it didn't affect my use).It feels very light and clean and with conditioner use it does control fly-aways very well. I had never thought of using T-Tree in my hair only on my skin bt I think its great.
   The next item I tried was Tea Tree Conditioner(Leave In) :
Let me tell you this is my favorite thing in the whole world that I tried. I do not blow dry my hair I let my hair air dry and by morning Im a disaster I look like a whirlwind attacked me. So my first time using the leave in I wore a shower cap to bed(yep you read it) I wasn't sure if it would stain my pillow or leave a greasy look BUT I learned better. The shower cap removed I brushed out it looked amazing and healthy. I normally have to really tame down the locks but it was considerably easier to get my comb thru and when it came to straightening it was a god send!!! No flyaways all day!!! I give it an A+++
The last product I received was Extra Dry Hair Mayonnaise:
Okay now this was the only product that brought out my sensory issue the term "Mayonnaise" brought out the whole idea of eating a sandwich topped with a thick white substance...but still with that being said I couldn't make me the one to try it(sorry). I thought my perfect guinea pig to be my daughter :) She has some of the worst hair to brush out I refer to it as a tumble weed. I wash her hair, condition it, use detangler and added a smear of this..and let me tell you it works wonders in the tumbleweed even when we don't use a detangler it works like we did. When its rubbed in to scalp it blends great with hair, non sticky, and dries nicely.
    ** I did receive this product for review purposes and my opinion is just that MY OWN!!**
The product is great for any hair type(IMO) and does by all accounts what is stated on their site(IMO). I received nothing besides the products for review and by writing this review Im not receiving anything in return. The links posted are direct links to their site.

*Build A Bear*My Little Pony Giveaway!!!!

My Little Pony Build-a-Bear Review and Giveaway!

If you have read my past reviews, you know that I am a huge fan of Build-a-Bear Workshop and their amazing furry friends! Of course, my step daughter is too! We were more than honored to review the newest addition to the line up of stuffed friends - the My Little Pony Build-a-Bear!

The My Little Pony friends just released to a Build-a-Bear Workshop near you on April 1, 2013! These cute friends are available in two varieties, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash. You can buy them at a store near you or online for only$24.00. This first ever make-your-own My Little Pony plush allows your little one to customize these iconic characters into personalized and unique versions for child!

We had the chance to review the My Little Pony Build-a-Bear Pinkie Pie! She is so adorable! The first thing my step daughter noticed is the ice cream necklace and the gorgeous yellow gown she is dressed in. She has this beautiful yellow royal wedding cape and the cutest lime green flowers in her hair! The way she is dressed is perfect for any princess or special little girl! You can get other outfits as well that include the My Little Pony skirt outfit and knight costume. What is also neat is you can customize the accessories as well with hair extensions, rainbow skates and even the My Little Pony theme song added to any stuffed animal!

What I loved about this doll was the size! She is huge! I was expecting something a bit smaller since she is a pony and has a little more to her, but Build-a-Bear did a great job not skimping on her size! I also loved how incredibly soft she is! I almost want to keep her for myself! I don't think my step daughter would like that though. :)

Overall, these My Little Pony plush dolls are innovative and a wonderful addition to the Build-a-Bear family!

Now, how about a giveaway? Enter to win a $25 giftcard to Build-a-Bear below for your little one to make their very own magical furry friend! Good luck!
