GLAZED EARTH REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY-Check this out!!

I was headed out of the office for lunch when my cell phone rang, another product to investigate. I quickly grabbed what I needed and exited my office.

GLAZED EARTH

Here is a little bit about Glazed Earth :
"I live in Kansas with my wonderful husband, Dan, and our ornery cat, Taddy. I have dabbled in every medium known and always find my way back to clay. My BFA in Ceramics is from Texas Tech University and I have an MFA in Painting from Kansas State University."


She has ALL sorts of stuff. She has vases, bud vases, tea bag holders/small dishes, plates, bowls, soap dishes/spoon rests, mugs/cups, and pitchers. I received a little tea bag dish/small dish. It came all wrapped up with a pretty ribbon like this...


Here is her shop welcome: (a nice shop welcome I thought)
"Welcome to Glazed Earth! Handmade pottery that is unique, colorful and well crafted.

Each piece of my pottery is made with care and a lot of love. Using white earthenware clay or red earthenware clay, I roll slabs, press stamps, lace, doilies, my handmade stamps and found objects into the clay. I use a variety of slump molds for forming my work. The separate pieces are then assembled to make the various pieces such as my vases, teapots and wish vessels. The vases are watertight and look great with any color and type of flowers. All glazes are food safe. Every piece is a one of kind!

Don't see what you want? I do special orders! Please give at least 3 weeks notice. "

I would love one of her bud vases.

Here is a little something about the Tea Bag Dish I received :


"Small 3" round dish for holding your used tea bag. Also used for putting rings in while doing the dishes or for earrings when you go to bed. These dishes are food safe so you can use them for dipping trays: soy sauce for your sushi or ketchup for your fries.
I made this dish with a rubber stamp carved by me and a wooden stamp I found at an antique store. This dish sits on four 1/2" feet."

I like that I can use this and not be worried about if it is safe for you to eat off of.


Here is a pic of the tea bag dish with Ketchup...



257 people on Etsy say that Glazed Earth is one of their favorites! If sooooooo many people say that it MUST be true! Ans she has has 24 items for sale right now and always adding more.

PURGOOD REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY - CASE # 17

I was sitting at my desk looking through files trying to decide which case to work on next. Then a call came in. An urgent case. It needed to be investigated right away. I got my Trench coat and brief case and headed out right away.

Here is something about the case of Pur Good :

"Frustrated by the lack of organic baby products on the market, two moms, and long-time friends, thought it would be nice to research the option of offering a line of products that did not contain the harsh chemicals and irritating additives that most of the other specialty children’s products contained. It seemed that even so-called “sensitive products” were irritating the skin of our children.

We embarked on a mission to find a blend of organic ingredients that would be gentle enough for all skin types but effective enough to clean babies and toddlers.

Our families truly enjoy the products we created, and our friends who have tried our brand, have expressed PURE delight in the results! This is how we became PurGood™. You can have peace of mind knowing that concerned moms just like you, have spent time creating this brand and developing products that you can count on. The gentleness and effectiveness of these products has vastly changed the condition of our little ones' skin. We will not offer any products we do not trust for our own families to use!

PurGood is committed to providing organic, eco-friendly products made from socially and environmentally responsible resources. Our intent is two-fold, to provide a safe product for our loved ones while being good stewards of our earth.
PurGood currently has two products available, with future intentions of expanding the brand. Our Baby Wash & Shampoo and Baby Lotion were formulated exclusively for PurGood. They contain organic ingredients that are proven effective without a strong, overbearing fragrance or unnecessary chemicals. We even use this wash and lotion ourselves, as we believe in the combination of ingredients and we believe in the results we can see and feel!

We are excited to introduce this line to the market and to your family and look forward to expanding the selection soon. We invite you to provide us with any feedback, as we are open to all ideas and suggestions. Be sure to tell your friends about this new, innovative product option. Please see the wholesale page for wholesale inquiries.

At PurGood, we believe in being environmentally conscious and living green. Here's what we are doing:

• PurGood containers are recyclable! We believe that recycling on a daily basis is a way in which each one of us can do our part to help the environment.
• We use only recycled packaging materials including biodegradable packing peanuts
• We use minimal packaging for our products so you have less to throw away when unwrapping your PurGood products."

It all sounds great right? But, to make sure they were o.k we had to investigate the product. We can not be giving this organic soap, shampoo and lotion to people if there is something wrong with it. So here is what I found about them :



The Baby wash and shampoo :
(8oz.) "To use on hair and skin. Soothe and calm your child during bath time with the refreshing natural scent of our Baby Wash. Our Baby Wash uses organic ingredients that are gentle to the skin. Keeping with the PurGood promise, it is free of artificial colors, fragrance, parabens and sulfate and is made with pure fruit and vegetable extracts."


And the baby Lotion :
(8oz.) "For use from head to toe. Drench your family's sensitive skin in our nourishing and organic moisture. Our unscented Baby Lotion is formulated with only the best organic products, perfect to nourish, protect, and keep your little one's skin hydrated. Our organic moisturizing lotion is rich and beneficial and can be used both day & night. Keeping with the PurGood promise, it is free of artificial colors, fragrance, parabens and sulfate and is made with pure fruit and vegetable extracts."

The Baby wash and shampoo smells absolutely GREAT! I LOVE THE SMELL!! It is a natural Scent also. It works good to. And the smell stays there for a little while.

Why use Purgood :
"

By making the choice to use organic products, you can prevent the accumulation of unnatural chemicals, and synthetic compounds on your skin and in your body. This choice promotes a healthy body and a healthy planet.

One of the most significant health benefits associated with using organic products is the fact that these items are free from harsh and harmful chemicals. Organic ingredients are pure and completely wholesome. We want the best for our loved ones.

We believe that bath time should be relaxing and fun! PurGood’s Baby Wash & Shampoo and Baby Lotion are comforting in scent and soothing to the skin. A baby's skin is thinner and more porous than an adult’s, which means their skin can absorb harmful chemicals very easily. That is why at PurGood, we took our time to formulate our products with your precious child in mind.

Our baby products are free of sulfate and parabens. We have chosen the most PURE ingredients including extracts of citrus fruits, aloe and kosher vegetables. Is your baby's skin and your peace of mind worth it? Yes!"

Lotion from Purgood.

LIL TEXAS CANDLES REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY - REALLY NICE!

Lil' Texas Candles sent me the Banana Split Candle. It is really adorable and it smells great!

It came all wrapped up and tied with a pretty ribbon. Like this...





And the candle is in a waffle cone looking ice cream dish.




About the Banana Split Dish Candle :
"This look like the real thing. It smells so good you could eat it but don't it is wax.
This candle has scented ice cream scoops chocolate, pineapple, and strawberry.
After the scoops are gone the bottom also scented with strawberry, chocolate, and pineapple. You can reuse this dish just clean it with hot soapy water. "

It smells really great! I did not want to start it but I did:D


About Lil' Texas Candles :

I have various scent from designer fragrances, to home baked scents that will delight the heart of any homemaker.

I do have a candle shop this is not done in my kitchen, but I did get started in my kitchen. My business got to big for the kitchen. I have a whole line of scents like the candy stand has."

Here is a dipping bear :
"If you are uncomfortable burning candles in your child's room I have the answer. Just open a dipper (that is what we call them) and it will fragrance the whole room. If it is getting a little weak in scent just give it a squeeze and the scent will come back. This bear is dipped in Party Cake."

Here are the scents she has :

DREAMY LOCKS REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

O.k Here is another company that I have investigated.

DREAMY LOCKS

Dreamy Locks is a hair accessory place. They sent me their two newest headbands. The So Sweet Headbands in Black and Pink. They really are So Sweet.



My little sister is my model for now. How does she look? She loves to dress up. I noticed she had one on earlier and asked her if it was mine. She started laughing. She is always trying to steal them. I have to be on the lookout!




They are well made. Most headbands after wearing them a couple of weeks start to wear and tear. These though I have had for at least 2-3 weeks and she uses them anytime she can. One of the headbands is black. It goes with almost anything. The other one is pink. It goes great with pick and such. And in her blond hair they both look great! These headbands are so sweet! They have pretty pearl and ribbon bow accents.




A little bit about Dreamy Locks :

"Who we are: We are an Etailer specializing in affordable, chic and trendy accessories. Our accessories include barrettes, hair twists and clips. We continue to expand our collection and look for deals to pass on to you. Our goal is to keep our brand affordable without skimping on the quality.

We follow the latest trends and celebrity hair accessories styles to provide similar products for you. "

"Shop DreamyLocks for all your hair accessory needs. You will find trendy, urban headbands. Also ponytail elastics in 7 different colors! Check out our sample sale for $1 hair accessory items too." Right now they have free shipping on a purchase of $20 or more. That is great. All of their Headbands are $12 or less.

**********GIVEAWAY**********

RECEIVE A SET OF THE TWO SO SWEET
HEADBANDS IN BLACK AND PINK!!

CSN STORES REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY!! Great giveaway!

Hi everybody!!
Today I have a review and giveaway from CSN STORES!! I love CSN. They have OVER 200 stores. When my sister found out I was getting a review she said she could always pick something out. I do not think so H. It took like 3 days for me to decide what to get. It was that hard!! I had a lot of fun though. Anyway. I was sent the Guidecraft Tippy the Turtle game and the Pfaltzgraff Napoli Dip Mix Set (I chose). I will put pics up later.


Keep reading and one winner will receive a $20 GC to CSN Stores!!

Here is the review of the Tippy the Turtle...
My little sister really loves it. It is really fun trying to see how long you can make it last.




Tippy the Turtle ...
"A roll of the dice tells you which color of wooden "barrel" that you have to place on the turtle's tummy. As they begin to stack up, "Tippy" beings to rock. If your barrel causes the stack to tumble, you lose. Includes wooden game pieces and cloth tote bag. Ideal for ages 3+.

Features:

• Ideal for ages 3+
• Solid wood construction
• Includes game pieces and travel bag
• Overall dimensions: 1.5" H x 6" W x 6" D"

Here is what my sister says about this great game :
" Tippy the Turtle is very nice. Children 3 and under should not play with it without an adult watching. It is a very fun game. A child can play with it by themselves." (she was playing like she was my secretary. she is 9)



That was what my little sister said. Now it is my turn :
"Tippy the Turtle IS a great game. I agree with her on the children 3 and under. The pieces are small but not too small. And a child can play with it alone and keep the child busy when nobody else can play at the time. These days most kids are playing video games and such. I think it is great that CSN has games for kids that keeps them away from the video games. And I also love Guidecraft. There is a travel case. You could carry it into restaurants and such to keep your child busy while waiting for food, Doctors appointment etc. The pieces to the game are Yellow, light green and dark green. Then there are swirls, dots etc.



The Pfaltzgraff Napoli Dip Mix Set is really nice. I will put up pictures later.

The Dip Mix set works great for Chip Dip! (That's what it's for right:) It is so pretty. It comes with a knife to. So you can use it for Mayonnaise, Sour Cream and such. Enough of that. I know what you all want. You all want the giveaway part of this post. Well. Here it is.

**********GIVEAWAY**********
One Agent (follower) will receive a a $20 GC
to any of CSN's 200 plus stores!
WOW!!

Nutrition

What does it mean for me?

Packed with a quintet of different berry types, Berry Boost tastes uniquely fresh and flavorful. The blend of berries also offers an array of essential and energizing vitamins. Complementing the fruity flavors is a heaping dose of Vitamins C, A & E.
