Shake'N Bake Review And Giveaway!


I remember when I was little and my mom would buy Krafts Shake'N Bake. I used to love helping my mom. She would always let me shake it. It made me feel so grown up. Now I let my kids help and they enjoy it just as much as I did. It's a great way to add a little family time in while making dinner. As always Shake'N Bake tastes great. My favorite thing about Shake'N Bake is that you get the taste and texture of fried chicken without all the mess and added calories. It's also a fast and easy way to bake chicken. Especially for the working moms and those that stay at home and had a rough day with the kids. A little shaking and 45min. in the oven and dinner is ready! They also provide recipes for delicious simple meals that are under 500 calories. Kraft is giving two of my readers the chance to win coupons to get 4 free boxes of Shake'N Bake. See below on how to enter.

Ends- 2.23.10

BusyBuzzyBees Review



Don't you all hate how the winter affects your lips. Mine always get so dry, and most chapstick doesn't help much. Well, I got to try BusyBuzzyBees' Exfoliating Lip Srub. It has Sugar crystals in it that gently exfoliate any dead or dry skin from your lips, giving fresh new skin a chance to grow and thrive. It's really cool because you can feel the roughness of the sugar crystals and yet at the same time you can feel how smooth it is making you lips. It really made a huge improvement in the softness of my lips. BusyBuzzyBees uses a mixture of oils that help promote the natural healing process as well as moisturize your lips. BusyBuzzyBees Lip Srub and Balm come in some really great flavors. They also have a variety of other products available. They have Soaps, Lip Balms, mini Perfumes ( I also got to try this out in the Pear scent and smells great!), and other great products.



BusyBuzzyBees loves to make natural and functional products for you to enjoy. A lot of her products are completely natural, those that aren’t are still at least 90% natural. They also have Vegan friendly products. So if you suffer like I do, you should go over to BusyBuzzyBees and try one of her amazing products.

Head Huggers Headbands Review and Giveaway!



How many of you have had bad hair days? I know I have. I have pretty long hair, and it's always in my face, or the wind is blowing it all over the place. A major pain in the butt. So when I saw these headbands I definitely wanted to try them out. Head Huggers Headbands are really cool. They look like a bandanna but fit like a head band. I also suffer from migraines and it's hard for me to wear headbands. Well not these headbands, after about 15min of wearing it I totally forgot it was on. It stayed in place all day (even with my 2yr old trying to get it,lol), my hair was never in my face, it didn't bother my head like most headbands do. These are really great headbands. Head Huggers Headbands come in all different patterns and fit most people.
I tried it on my 2yr and it was a little big but stayed on. These headbands are great for everyone. Head Huggers Headbands all started with a mom tired of her daughters hair in her face and turned into a great shop. Head Huggers Headbands has offered one of my readers one of their Hawaiian headbands. Please see below to enter!

I was not paid in any way by Head Huggers Headbands. I was given their product for review purposes. The opionions stated her are solely my own.

Country Bob's Review and Giveaway!


In 1968 Country Bob perfected the sauce of his dreams. After years of giving it to friends and family he began to sell it in 1977. And to this day Country Bob's sauce is still used in kitchens world wide. So when I received a bottle of Country Bob's All purpose sauce I thought I'd give it a try. So I went to Country Bob's website and found this recipe.

Country Bob's Meatballs

Ingredients
3 lbs ground beef
2 eggs
1/2 cup Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce (or may substitute Spicy)
1 envelope onion soup mix
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Spaghetti sauceMethods/steps
Combine all ingredients. Shape into golf ball sized balls. Brown in pan. Add spaghetti sauce and simmer until done.

I don't know about you guys but I love meatballs. My dad made so much spaghetti when I was a kid ( my mom went back to get her masters degree and it's the only thing he knew how to make) that I can't eat it without either sausage or meatballs. So I gave the receipe a try (which is a very easy receipe). They were one of the best meatballs I ever had. This sauce really is a universal sauce you can use it in so many different recipes. It's tastes great on meat, chicken and pork. My daughter loved it with chicken nuggets and you guy all know how picky toddlers can be. It is definately a must have in any house. Guess what? The great people at Country Bob's have offered 2 of my readers a bottle of their All Purpose Sauce! Keep reading to see how to win!


I was not paid or compensated by Country Bob's in any way. I was given their product for review purposes only. The opinions stated here are solely my own.
