You’ll Want to Get This Perfume: Eau Flirt by Harvey Prince

Holiday guide 2013 button

Before receiving Eau Flirt by Harvey Prince perfume to review I had not heard of it.   I decided to do some research on it.  I wanted to see what others were saying about it,  kind of prepare myself . I’m kinda picky about my perfumes.  I want the scent to last but I don’t want it to be overpowering.  I prefer light, fresh, and sweet scents.  I don’t like anything too musky or spicy.  I came across this clip from the show The Doctors .

Eau Flirt has notes of pumpkin and lavender.  Lavender is definitely a scent I like but I wasn’t sure about how I’d feel about a pumpkin lavender combo.  When I opened up the box I got, what seemed to me, like a strong citrus type scent.  I like citrus scents too but I still wasn’t sure.  You know that perfumes can smell different on different people.

I sprayed a little on, that’s when I could actually smell the pumpkin notes and the lavender.  This scent was amazing. It lasted for hours too. This is a perfect perfume for me.  It gently lets you know it’s there it’s not in your face and overpowering.   I had sprayed some on and was holding my baby girl . I set her down and my son’s friend picked up my daughter and said “oh she smells good!”  After he was done holding her I picked her up and realized some of my perfume was on her clothes.

Eau Flirt Harvey Prince

The bottle I received is a 3/4 oz spray bottle.  Very generous sized perfume.  I’ve worn it every day since I received it.  If you are looking for a perfume to wear for the holidays or to give as a gift, this one is definitely a winner.  The New York Times said it’s “The olfactory equivalent of a little red dress”.  I thought that was an accurate description.

The weather is getting colder.  We’ve already had some snow here in south central Pennsylvania.  It’s not until the first nip in the air that I start thinking things like “Boy I hope the kids have gloves that fit” and this year it was “Oh I need to get some cute accessories for baby girl for the winter” BeltOutlet.com has all that and then some.  If you have a traveler on your list there’s lots of things for them on Beltoutlet.com too.

So ok back to baby girl, I have 3 boys and had my baby girl this past spring. Sure I can hand down the boys things to her but come on, this is my first girl after three boys.  I’m all about pink, and glitter, and cutesy.  BeltOutlet.com had the cutest little hat and mitten set for babies.   I chose BeltOutlet newborn hat/mitten set in the pink cat set for my daughter.  I couldn’t wait to try it out on her.

infant hat and gloves beltoutlet.com

Ok is that not cute or what?  The hat and mitten set is listed on the site as newborn sets but I’ll tell you the truth my daughter is  7 months old and it was a bit big on her.  The elastic brim fit snug on her head but there is still some room to grow into the hat.  That’s not a complaint, kids grow fast but if you’re hoping for it to fit a newborn, just warning you, it’s gonna be big.  The hat and gloves are a nice quality.  The hat is thick, definitely not cheaply made.  They also have this set available in black and white cow, black and white leopard, and the color looks to be a tan dog.

Ok one more pictures:

This would be a really nice add on gift to a child’s present or a great stocking stuffer.  This is a nice set to grab at only $8.95 currently on their site.

Another thing that always seems to be a popular gift around the holidays is comfy pajamas.  I personally love a nice warm pair of pajama pants in the winter. I’m always cold. BeltOutlet.com has plenty of options for adult sleepwear. Flannels, cotton tees, shorts, nightshirts, whatever makes you comfortable.

I received the Boxercraft Tie Cord Flannel PJ Pants for women.  These are soft and comfortable.  I love the colors too. You can get them in purple plaid or blue plaid for us ladies.  It was a tough choice but I ended up going for the blue plaid.

Don’t you just love the color?  These on sale on their site for $21.95 right now. Initially when I tried them on I thought I messed up and got a size too big.  But then I put it through the washer and dryer.  That solved my issue.  The did shrink up a bit after the wash. They are 100% cotton. They are made to have a roomy fit.  So if you’re in the market for some pajamas, check out Beltoutlet.com.

I think you’ve figured out by now that Beltoutet.com is more than just belts.  Stop by and visit BeltOulet.com.  While you’re at it follow them on their social media site:

Sugar Free Baking for the Holidays (But They Won’t Know)

**I received a variety of products from NuNaturals to try.  I was under no obligation to do a review.  Any opinions expressed are my own**

 

Holiday guide 2013 button

It’s that time of year.  The time of year where we have treats, feasts, and confections everywhere.  Most of us will indulge a little (or maybe a lot) and regret it later.  Yet for me, it just doesn’t seem like Christmas if there isn’t holiday cookies in the oven, or the kids aren’t helping me bake.  This year we’re trying something different.  No we’re not giving up the cookies, we’re giving up the sugar.  I know what you’re thinking, what’s the point of cookies without sugar?  Well we’re using a great sugar substitute for NuNaturals.

NuNaturals has everything you need to make your holiday baking sugar free and healthier with things like fiber and yummy flavors.   I received a plethora of product from NuNaturals to try.  For me to review everything I received in one post, I just didn’t think it would do it justice.  There were so many things with so many different ideas.  NuNaturals also has lots of recipes to try on their site if you’re not quite sure how to use the products or you just want ideas.

Some of the products I received included oat fiber and NuStevia baking blend.

nunaturals oat fiber

I’m already a fan of the NuStevia MoreFiber Sweetener Baking Blend but had never tried the NuNaturals NuGrains Oat Fiber.  The Oat Fiber lets you add fiber to any of your holiday baking from cookies, to cakes, to rolls.  Simply add in 3 tablespoons of oat fiber for every 8 servings.  So if your recipe makes 24 cookies and a serving size is 3 cookies then you need 3 tablespoons of oat fiber.  The NuStevia baking blend is a great substitute for the sugar in your recipes.

I tried the Chocolate Chip Pan Cookies recipe on the NuNaturals site.  I’ll be honest, to me the recipe seemed like it was missing something like maybe milk or water because the bars turned out very dry and crumbly.  BUT, they still tasted good.  My 4 year old just loved these.  Every day he’d say “mommy can I have a cookie” and I’d give him a little bar with some milk.  Even my oldest son who is a bit picky had a couple of these bars.

Blog 004

I used holiday chocolate chips.  Even if this recipe just isn’t your cup of tea, there’s lots of other recipes on the site for cookies, pies, cakes, breads, and more for your holiday spread.

NuNaturals ships free to the continental US with orders of $35 or more.   I’ll have more NuNaturals ideas throughout the holiday guide so stop by again.
