Sand Gone Sand Remover Must for beach goers review and #giveaway 3/31–CLOSED

RANDOM.ORG DREW NUMBER 22 STACY. WINNER HAS BEEN EMAILED AND HAS 48 HRS TO REPLY TO WINNING EMAIL NOTIFICATION.

It’s funny how things work sometimes. You start thinking about something or start doing something and the right tool just happens to show itself to you.

Hubby and I are planning our first ever real family vacation. We’re planning on going to the beach. I had the opportunity to review Sand Gone.

Sand Gone is a must for beachgoers. It’s a dry powder sand remover that when applied to sandy parts of your body, removes sand and leaves your skin feeling soft.

It has a light coconut scents. Sand Gone is an all natural, non-talc powder. My boys have a sand pit to play in in the back yard. IT was actually an area that was leveled out when we had the pool but we keep the sand in it now for the boys to play in. While the boys were out slopping in the sand I decided it would be the perfect opportunity to give Sand Gone a try.

I they had a toy spider that they built a sand fort for, ( I don’t know why) and then needed a moat for the spider’s castle. Well of course the spider needs a moat, why not? Anyway, they had sand sticking to their hands like crazy.

I sprinkled the Sand Gone on lightly at first. It wasn’t enough. I had to use a little more generous dusting.

My oldest son’s hands seemed to be too mucky for the Sand Gone. My 7 yr olds however it seemed to get almost all the sand off without water. (Don’t worry, I did still have them wash their hands for hygiene purposes after the test).

Sand Gone comes with a large body powder puff that fits in the jar. The powder puff is the perfects size for dusting on larger body parts such as legs, arms, or your belly for instance.

The Sand Gone powder is a light powder that feels silky on the skin. Kind of reminds me of baby powder. The powder goes on translucent. The light coconut smell is pleasing.

This will definitely be going with us on our beach trip this summer.

Get the Make up you crave from Apothica #Giveaway–CLOSED

RANDOM.ORG CHOSE NUMBER 194 KIMBERLY. WINNER HAS BEEN SENT A WINNING EMAIL NOTIFICATION AND HAS 48 HRS TO REPLY TO EMAIL.

Apothica.com carries some of your favorite make-up brands like: Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Smashbox, Too Faced, and lots more.

I have long been a fan of Clinique. It’s one of those classic cosmetic brands that I feel will always be around. I was first made aware of Clinique in high school. One of my good friends used it all the time. I decided to try it one time by getting a makeover done and taking advantage of one of their deals. You know, spend so much and get all this stuff free, type of thing?

I loved the colors, the quality of the makeup, and the value for the price. Clinique is only slightly more expensive than drugstore make up brands but a lot more affordable than other department store make up brands. The quality and the fact that all their products work is what keeps me coming back to Clinique.

Clinique doesn’t just offer make-up but also skin care products and perfumes. One of my favorite perfumes of all time is Clinique Happy Heart. It’s such a light feminine scent. Perfect any time.

Another Clinique product I highly recommend is the Touch Base for Eyes in Petal Shimmer. Use it alone as a shadow or put it under your favorite shadow to make you eye shadow stay put.

Clinique’s skin care products work well too. There are even sets available to try some of their cleansers, moisturizers, and toners. There are a variety of cleansers and moisturizers to fit your skin type. And guys, don’t discount yourself from this line. There are men’s products available too.

CLOSED–Tropical Traditions Organic Coconut Peanut Butter review/giveaway 3/20

RANDOM.ORG DREW NUMBER 70 LB. WINNER HAS BEEN CONTACTED VIA EMAIL AND HAS 48 HOURS TO RESPOND.

Welcome to one of 3 giveaways on my blog for the March Madness giveaway hop.

As my readers know, I’m a fan of Tropical Traditions products. Tropical Traditions offers organic foods that come from family farms.

The product I’m going to tell you about today is Tropical Traditions Organic Coconut Peanut Butter.

I love peanut butter in general. I love the flavor of coconuts but not the texture (my personal opinion). When I got this product I wasn’t sure what to expect as far as texture. The did a wonderful job blending both the peanut butter and coconut together. It didn’t have the flaky texture I was worried it would have. Instead it was a smoother peanut butter with a definite coconut taste to it.

Tropical Traditions Organic Coconut Peanut Butter is made from 100% organic dried coconut from the Philippines and 100% organic Valencia Peanuts grown right here in the US. What I think is amazing is that is all the ingredients in this peanut butter. That’s right 2. So refreshing to see a label with ingredients you can pronounce and you know are good for your family.

Tropical Traditions offers lots of other products like their well known virgin coconut oil, skin care products, meats, supplements, baking supplies, and so much more.

You can also find lots of free recipes on Tropical Traditions website by clicking here. Including recipes to use with your Organic Coconut Peanut Butter.

Ready to buy it now? Head on over to Tropical Traditions site. When you make your purchase use referral ID: 6162177 to let them know that I sent you.

The Happy Handlebar shopping cart cover — Review

I think most of us mom’s are familiar with this scenario. You grocery shopping. You have your toddler in tow in the seat of the shopping cart so you can’t put your purse in the seat. You either have your purse in the cart or it’s slung over your shoulder. You have to stop every so often to dig through your purse for your grocery list, pen, or coupons. Then your little one wants his sippy cup. You reach for the diaper bag. He’s happy for a while but now your tot is getting antsy sitting in the seat, he’s bored. You wanna just hurry through and finish the shopping trip before the little one starts really fussing. The baby’s hands (and your hands for that matter) are clutching the shopping cart handle. So many germs, you really don’t even want to think about it.

That describes a lot of my grocery trips. Then I was introduced to The Happy Handlbar shopping cart cover. The Happy Handle Bar is a clever design to help make your shopping trip more convenient and germ free.

The Happy Handle Bar is a cute and functional shopping cart cover. It covers both the metal where your little one might be grabbing and the handle bar that your pushing. There are pockets on the front where you can store your coupons, grocery list, pen, keys, or whatever you might like to have quick access to. I took a pick of my little buy in the cart with The Happy Handle Bar. You can see the pockets in the front.

I have my coupon organizer stuffed in one pocket and my keys in the other on the front. There are also elastic loops to store your child’s sippy cup, bottle, or toy in as well as loops on the side closest to the child to attatch other toys.

The covers stay over the bars using (for lack of a better term from me) plactic grips The wider grips that go over the pushing bar have sticky back foam to help keep the cover from moving when pushing the cart.

The Happy Handle Bar easily folds up to fit in a diaper bag or medium size or bigger purse. The Happy Handle Bar is machine washable. Just throw the whole thing in with your wash. Another feature that’s hard to see from the picture is that the fabric kind of creates a sling or pocket even between the handle bar and the metal bar closest to your child. I found out that this was fantastic for when your child inevitably drops his snack or small toy while shopping. My son had some toddler puff treats that he would drop and the sling caught it.

The only draw back was that the elastic, while yes it does stretch did not fit the type of sippy cup that my son had. I was able to get it into the cup straps but he was not able to get it back out. I had to do it. Also, my son figured out how to get to my coupon organizer and kept pulling it out. It may have been better for me to put the coupons directly in the pocket rather that leave my organizer hanging out for him to grab. Other than that, The Happy Handle Bar really helped alleviate some of the small grocery shopping headaches I deal with.

The grip covers covered well and stayed in place. It worked well again my son and myself grabbing onto part that only God knows how many people have touch with their germy hands. I feel it important to note. I the sticky back foam does not come attached. They are in a separate baggy for you to apply yourself. I first attempted to use it without the foam and the handle cover slid everywhere. After I applied the foam, it worked much better.

This is an “As Seen On TV” product. You can watch the commercial here:

Review Summary: At only $20 this product I think is worth the money. It’s very well made, convenient and easy to use, functional, and practical.
