Montagne Jeunesse Masque Review





I was given the opportunity to try a couple of beauty masques. I tried the Rasberry Fruit Smoothie one this morning. I was really impressed with how much product was in the pouch. There was enough product for at least 2 applications depending on how thick you put it on. When I opened the package I was impressed with how much it smelled like fresh raspberries. I followed the directions and applied the masque after washing my face. The masque went on nicely and felt really smooth and soft on my skin. I left the masque on while I enjoyed a relaxing bubble bath. The masque slowly turned hard and firm on my face. After the designated time had passed the masque washed nicely off. My face felt smooth and soft when the masque was done. I am looking forward to trying the other varieties - Honey & Passion Flower and Cucumber.

I was really impressed when I read that the Masques are vegetarian and they do not test on animals. I love that they have a warning to not eat the masque even though it smells amazing.

Mixbooks - Photocard Review





I was recently given the opportunity to try out a set of Mixbook.com Photo Cards. I decided to order Christmas Cards. I know it is only the 1st of September. When I saw the cards that were available from Mixbook's I fell in love with the photo card shown above. The colors were perfect and the saying was exactly what I was hoping to find this year for our Xmas cards. I knew that I wanted to use the photo of John and I in St. Petersburg Russia. It is one of my favorite pictures from our trip.

I was really impressed with how easy it was to design and pick out the card. I was able to upload my photo and play around with a ton of different backgrounds. Once I found the background above it was really easy to get everything ordered and taken care of. The cards were shipped to the house in a really sturdy nice cardboard container. The cards and envelopes were wrapped in plastic so nothing could get to them. The cards arrived really quickly and looked even better than I could have hoped. I will definitely be ordering additional cards from Mixbooks this year.

Ends Tonight!!! Herbal Armor Review + Giveaway!



ALL TERRAIN Herbal Armor Insect Repellent Review + Giveaway

I am a bug magnet! If there is a mosquito anywhere near where we are they are coming for me.  When we go camping I end up covered head to toe in bites and John has maybe 1. For some reason they love my feet and ankles. We love to sit outside enjoying dinner on the patio but unfortunately end up coming inside early because I am getting eaten alive. I was really excited for the opportunity to test out Herbal Armor Insect Repellent. I love that the product is cruelty free and natural. I was really impressed with the scent. A lot of times you put bug spray on and it smells horrible. Herbal Armor has a nice almost lemony scent. The spray came out evenly out of the bottle and coated a large section of skin. I have been using it nightly since it came in and have to say I am loving having dinner outside without coming in covered in bug bites.

I am really excited to announce that ALL TERRAIN is going to give 1 lucky Tammilee Tips fan a bottle of Herbal Armor Insect Repellent.

Please use the Rafflecopter form below to enter. Blog post comments do not count as giveaway entries.

I was given the opportunity to try out David Oreck new Pure Air Odor Eliminator Candle. With moving everything in our house and painting we have a lot of scents going on in the house. I was excited to try this candle and see how it works. When I opened the candle it has a nice fresh scent. I am not a fan of strong overwhelming scents so I was happy to find it had a nice clean scent that was not to much. The candle came in a nice heavy duty glass container. The room smelled fresh after I used the candle. I really like the light clean scent.

I thought I would share with you some of the information the company sent me:
Pure Air candles are made with Odor Control Technology that eliminates unpleasant odors by counteracting them while delivering pleasant fragrances in their place.
These candles are effective on even the strongest household odors including kitchen, pet, and cigarette smoke.

Review - Autoseal Kids Trekker Mug


I was recently given the opportunity to review the Auto seal Kids Trekker Mug. I have to say the mug is super cute. The one I received is purple and really cute. I was excited that the mug is spill proof. It works perfect when we are riding in the Jeep. I always find that my drinks splash all over the place. This mug stayed in place and did not spill at all. The mug has a great system built in. When you grip it you can push in on the side and it opens the jug. I think this is going to work great for travel and hiking.
The mug I received holds 14 fl ounces which is perfect for when I am out and about. The mug is BPA free and top rack dishwasher safe. I am so happy to have a mug that I can put in the dishwasher. So many times with our other mugs I try to get them clean but feel like there is a residue.

You can find out more about this mug on gocontigo website.

Review - System Mechanic


Review - System Mechanic Computer Program from iolo

I was recently given the opportunity to review System Mechanic Computer Program from iolo. I was so excited when I heard I was going to be able to try a computer system cleaner. My laptop has been a bit possessed for the past few months. It was taking forever to start up and even longer to get to the Internet. I decided to use the System Mechanic program on the laptop first. One of the first things I found that I really liked was the dashboard that shows what the program is doing. I was able to easily chose which files I wanted cleaned up and view what the program was doing. I was amazed at how many things the program found to clean. After running it twice just to make sure everything was done I shut the computer off and restarted it. I have to tell you it was amazing! My laptop started right up. I did not have to wait 10 minutes for everything to process through. The real test was getting to the internet. It took a lot less time to get to the internet. I have been running the program for a couple of week and so far I am really enjoying it.   

Here is some great information on the System Mechanics Program provided from  iolo:
The all-in-one solution for ultimate PC performance and trouble-free computing
 Fixes errors, crashes and freezes
 Boosts internet speeds
 Speeds up Windows start time
 Restores system stability
 Cleans out clutter and junk files
 Prevents slowdowns and bottlenecks
 Plugs security holes
 Clears out private data
 Improves gaming experience

New and Enhanced Features in System Mechanic® 10.5

Designated Drivers™
Outdated driver software is a common cause of PC slowdowns and errors. The new Designated Drivers tool keeps device drivers on your PC up-to-date by detecting and then automatically updating outdated software, using only Microsoft-approved updates that have undergone extensive testing for stability and compatibility.

SSD Accelerator™
While solid state drives (SSDs) can be a faster alternative to traditional hard disk drives, these state-of-the-art drives still tend to suffer from incremental performance loss over time. The new SSD Accelerator streamlines and optimizes the SSDs, improving overall PC performance and extending drive life and dependability.

Program Accelerator™
Over time, the many files that make up a program tend to drift apart and become scattered across the hard drive. The patent-pending technology in Program Accelerator realigns these program files, resulting in programs that launch faster and respond more quickly.

CRUDD Remover™
The CRUDD ("Commonly Redundant or Unnecessary Decelerators and Destabilizers") Remover detects and displays the redundant programs that impact PC performance and stability. You can then make informed choices about which programs to keep and which ones to remove.

Whole Home Licensing™
Previously, one System Mechanic license could be installed on up to 3 PCs. Because many people now have more than three computers, System Mechanic is now licensed under the Whole Home Licensing program that allows you to use one license on all of the PCs in your household.

Internet Connection Repair
A new repair feature that fixes damaged or broken internet connection problems caused by destructive software is now in ActiveCare® and the PC Repair PowerTool™.

Tune-up Definitions™
Tune-Up Definitions, the weekly research updates automatically delivered to System Mechanic customers, have significantly expanded and now have instructions that automatically resolve 18,000+ unique problems.

DriveAccelerator™
The drive defragmentation technology in DriveAccelerator is re-engineered both to incorporate new features in Windows 7 and to work in conjunction with the new Program Accelerator.

ActiveCare®
ActiveCare, the newly patented technology that fixes errors behind-the-scenes, adds more automated tasks that enable System Mechanic to automatically detect and repair more problems.

PowerTools™
More cleanup, repair, and optimization functions are now in the all-in-one PowerTools that provide an easy solution to computer tune-ups by running multiple tasks at once.

You can find out more about the System Mechanic program on iolo website.

I was provided with a copy of System Mechanic to help facilitate my review. All opinions expressed in the review are my own. I was provided with details on the program from iolo.

Review - Bryton Pick



I was recently given the opportunity to try out a Bryton Pick. The Bryton Pick is a reusable pick for cleaning in between your teeth. The product is made of a thin stainless steel. It is made so it slides easily in between your teeth and works with braces. I thought this would be a really nice product to have in my purse and in a travel bag. Unfortunately I was not a fan of the product. I have really sensitive teeth and I did not enjoy the feeling of the metal in between my teeth.

If you are interested in learning more about the Bryton Pick make sure you check out their website.

SHMILY Coins Review and Giveaway

I am really excited about this review and giveaway. I love the message behind the SHMILY coins. SHMILY stands for See How Much I Love You. The coins are meant to be shared with your loved ones as reminders of how much you love them. Years ago when John and I were still dating I gave him a silver coin that I found at an airport gift shop. The coin was very similar to a SHMILY coin. To this day John still carries the coin with him in his wallet. I love knowing that he always has a small token of my affection with him. I can't wait to share the SHMILY coins with my loved ones. John is planning on surprising his Mom and Grandmother with a coin this week.  The SHMILY coins are wooden and look just like the one above.  I highly suggest reading the story behind the SHMILY Coins.

I am really excited to announce that 1 winner is going to win a set of SHMILY coins!

Nothing was going to happen to the set during shipping with the amount of padding around it. When I opened the box I loved how elegant the Ivory Dinner Plates were. They have an amazing gold trim that looks like fine china. The silverware was super fun bright happy silver.

Funky Monkey T-Shirt Review




I was given the opportunity to try out a Funky Monkey T-shirt from tshirtprinting.net. I have to say I thought the monkey was super cute. As you can see from the travel photos I post I am a fan of monkeys. When the shirt arrived I was excited to see that it is printed on a heavy cotton shirt. The monkey logo was bright and easy to see on the grey shirt. I think this will be a great shirt to wear this summer with a pair of shorts. It is fun and makes me smile each time I see it.

Skillet Bacon Spread Review




We were recently given the opportunity to try Skillet Bacon Spread. I was not sure what to expect from the spread and thought it would be interesting to see what John thought. When it first came in the mail John looked at me wondering what the heck it was. After looking at the recipes available on the Skillet Bacon Jam website he decided to use it in a hamburger. He mixed a small amount in with his hamburger before he grilled it. He said it added a nice flavor to the burger. He did try it cold and said he would not recommend it cold.
If you are looking for a fun spread to add to your meals check out Skillet Bacon Jam. It is sure to get your friends talking.

Here is some info on Skillet Bacon Jam

I was given the opportunity to try a set of Amy Adele address labels. I picked the Happy Daisy Address Labels.  I thought they were so cute and fun. I was so excited to get them in the mail. The labels are bright and happy with clear printing of my address.

I am so excited to share with everyone what came in the mail today! I was given the opportunity to try a magnetic dishwasher cover from Appliance Art. I had a hard time picking which one I wanted,. They have a ton of options including travel scenes, art works, chalkboard and wipe board covers, flowers and so many more it is amazing!

Flip Flop Wines - Review



FlipFlop Wines

I was recently given the opportunity to try 2 versions of FlipFlop Wines. I spent some time reading about the company and I have to tell you how impressed I am. I think it is truly wonderful that FlipFlop wines donates a pair of flip flops for every bottle of wine sold up to 100,000 pairs. The flipflops are given to Soles4Soles who delivers them to children and individuals in need. The program really touched me when I read that there are children that can not attend school because they do not have a pair of shoes to wear.  I love that flipflop wines not only produces amazing wine but they help out others in need.

Here is some background information on the person behind FlipFlop Wines
David Georges, Vintner


While working at an organic vegetable farm in the Mt. Shasta region of California, David discovered the art of grape growing. After planting a small vineyard on the farm, he was fascinated with wine, from managing the vineyard to tasting the fruits of his labor. Inspired to learn more, David attended the University of California at Davis first to study viticulture, and then added wine making coursework as well. David honed his wine making skills at well-known California wineries including Artesa and Davis Bynum.
In 2009, David began working on the wines that would become the inaugural vintage of flip flop. His goal is to stay true to each wine’s varietal character, and to make great tasting wines that don’t break the bank.

If you are looking for a fun new wine to try this summer give flipflop wines a try. I personally love the labels that remind me of living in the tropics. The best part is the wine is pretty darn good also!

Carmex Moisture Plus Orange Review


As a member of the Carmex BlogSquad I was given the opportunity to try out Carmex Moisture Plus in Orange Flavor.  I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by this flavor. I was wondering how strong the orange flavor would be. The flavor was really nice. It was not super strong or sweet.
I really like how nicely Carmex Moisture Plus goes on. It is not super thick or overwhelming.

I was provided with a Carmex Moisture Plus in Orange flavor for this review. The opinions expressed in this review are my own.
