Beauty Box 5 Review



I received another awesome product to review for you, my dear readers. This time it is from a company called Beauty Box 5.

Here is some info about the co. taken from their website:

Beauty Box 5 is a subscription-based, beauty sampling program that delivers a box filled with 5 cosmetic samples to your door every month. Aimed at introducing women to new cosmetic products and educating them on best practices, Beauty Box 5 scours the market to find the best products for your lifestyle.

My take on the product: 

Here's what I got in my Beauty Box:

Mini Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion
Model Co Illusion Lip Pencil 
Swissco Glitter Toe Separators
La Fresh Travel Lite Facial Cleansing Wipes
Nubar Alter Ego Nail Lacquer in "Blondie"


These are all really great products individually & put them together it makes for a really cute idea. Of course as soon as the Beauty Box came. My daughter immediately took it over. Who wouldn't love to get a box like this on a monthly basis? you get some really cool and unique beauty products to try out. Some well known brands like Aveeno (which we love) and others like the La Fresh Wipes. (which we had never heard of, but now want to buy more) My daughter really loved those. They took off her make-up really well.

If you would like more info on this company please visit the following links:

Pricing starts at just $12 a month! And all members also receive free shipping. You can also gift this to someone. Which I think would make an awesome Birthday or Christmas present!

Disclosure:
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.

Time to #BugOut with Orkin

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Orkin Ecologist for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hey guys. I was just reading an article. This really may be of interest to my readers out there. It is all about the scariest and deadliest bugs in the world

This article details many things about bugs. There are many people who actually enjoy bugs and like and admire them. And many people study them, etc. And at Orkin they do that too. Not only does Orkin help to control pests, but they also have learned as much as they can about bugs.

Orkin has been studying bugs for 100 years, actually. They have scientists on their staff, to keep the science of bugs at the forefront of their business. That's why the created The Ecologist, which celebrates the science and uniqueness of bugs.  Please Like the Orkin Ecologist on Facebook & Follow them on Pinterest

Also feel free to share something on the Orkin Ecologist Pinterest board using #BugOut. I have had a few #BugOut moments. Especially since moving. There are some pretty scary bugs where I live now, that I never had encountered where I used to live. One of those such bugs is a spider called the Wolf Spider. These spiders are pretty common, in my area. 

I will never forget literally the first day I moved into my new house, we had one of these spiders in the house. It was really a #BugOut moment because I had never seen such a huge spider before. Let alone inside my house!

Butterfly Bakery Review




Recently I received a few products from a company called Butterfly Bakery

Here is a little info about them:

It all started with one oven, one mixer and a whole lot of love!
In 1998, I started experimenting with Sugar Free desserts that my mom could enjoy. See, she has diabetes and the choices at the time were limited. I set out on a mission to satisfy her sweet tooth. This was no easy task, as she is an exquisite baker and very tough critic. 

I kept experimenting with sugar free recipes, baking cakes and muffins - even creating my own butter-cream frosting... until one day, my Mom took a bite of my cake and declared it, “Simplesmente perfeito!” (’Just perfect’ in Portuguese). I knew I was on to something when I started to get requests from friends and family who didn't even have diabetes.....  And The Butterfly Bakery was born.

My review:

I received an Angel food Cake and a chocolate chip loaf. Here's a few pics my daughter took when they first arrived:



My daughter proclaimed the chocolate chip loaf was hers.  Ha-Ha. She did manage to eat maybe half of it but then her Dad got a hold of it and my son too. I think it was gone within a few hrs.

The angel food cake was also very good. And with a few strawberries or other fruit added was a great treat.

The angle food cake is sugar free, and the chocolate chip loaf - no sugar added. Which they taste delicious and you would never know that they were sugar free.

Please check their website for more products. Butterfly Bakery has sugar free, no sugar added, gluten free, whole grain and lite products.
