R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour Grampires MommyParty

I had the opportunity thanks to the assistance of MommyParties sponsored by The Hub TV Network to host the most frightful fun R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour Grampires Screening Party.

We received a huge party pack to help with our fangtastic party.

So many great midnight black t-shirts, glow in the dark vampire fangs and slap wrist bands, bumper stickers and the R.L. Stines' The Haunting Hour: The Series DVD Screener.

To get our party started on the right foot, my son got busy early into morning to bake up a batch of dirt muffins to get everyone in the haunting mindset.

After the party began and before the big viewing...everyone had the opportunity to create their own spooky candy pizzas (the pizza was a large sugar cookie).  What a great way to get into the mood (our young boys did not get to attend the viewing of this frightful feature.)

I was delighted on how everyone enjoyed eating their "bloody" sugary treats.

Would anyone like a bite???

Time to break out the vampire fangs and get busy watching and screaming in fright during our viewing of Grampires Parts 1 and 2 (R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour The Series).

Did you know R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series returned on October 13th for its 3rd season on The Hub?  Well it did and this spooking series is a horror-fantasy anthology targeted for kids and teens.  The episodes are inspired by the stories of renowned author R.L. Stine.

Each episode lasts 1/2 hour and if full of thrills, chills and scares.  Definitely true!!! Make sure your little children are not around as I am certain they will have nightmares.

 

We had such a frightfully and lip smacking time!  Just in time for Halloween!!!

Frieda's Spooky Foods - Win on Facebook!

I am such a huge fan of Frieda's Specialty Produce. 

They always have an amazing selection of produce that can be shipped directly to you.

 

I noticed the other day they are having a very fun and Spooky...time on their Facebook page. 

(Speaking of Frieda's Facebook Page...make sure to LIKE them today so you won't miss out on their great deals, giveaways and events!)

It is called Frieda's Spooky Foods and you can enter to win a Spooky Prize.  Just stop on over to their page and post a spooky food tip for your chance to win.  While you are visiting..you can also vote for your favorite Halloween Kiwano.  Don't worry if you don't know what a Kiwano is...you can learn more below.

 

Look at the Frieda's Spooky Foods that I received....

 How fun....Black garlic...Buddha's Hand....Kiwano.....and Ghost Chili's.

 

I was surprised to learn the black garlic is aged naturally under high heat fermentation that turns the garlic cloves a rich dark color with soft chewy texture.  I am planning on using them in a pasta salad..I know they will be the talk of the people enjoying.

 The Buddha's Hand is very spooky looking!!!  But, it smells so fruity, fresh and heavenly.  We have had it sitting on our kitchen table...what a great and talked about center piece, plus it adds a nice fragrance to the room. 

 The boys are enjoying looking at the Kiwano (horned melon), so we haven't cut it open  yet.  I was shocked to find out you can store a Kiwano for up to 6 months.  It is suppose to have lime green colored pulp with jelly-like and filled with tender white edible seeds - like a cucumber.  Can't wait to give it a taste.

The the VERY SCARY GHOST CHILI PEPPERS....I am just flat out scared of these!!!

 

So Happy Spooky Halloween Everyone!!!

Cleava - The Original Snap-To-Bra Work Camisole Giveaway / Review USA and Canada

I received the best email the other day from the inventor of  the Cleava the original  Snap-To-Bra Mock Camisole.  Her name is Michelle De Sousa and she has created such a practical and useful fashion clothing accessory, I think of the 21st Century.

I think most of you are wondering what a Cleava is.  Well, after you read this review and enter to win one of your own, you will never forgot and leave home without your Cleava.

Cleava is a revolutionary way to transform your plunging necklines into a beautifully layered look without the uncomfortable layering and doubling up straps.  How perfect without all the added clothing which can be hot and not lay smoothly. 

I really enjoy how easy Cleava is to put on and review in a "snap".

Really!  There are no irritating adhesives or Velcro.  Just a user friendly adjustable snap system.

Start by snapping Cleava to the top of one of your bra straps when your bra is on.  Then bring Cleava under and through, between bra cups and snap (using the snap that makes Cleava fit the best for you).  One last thing...just snap Cleava to the top of your other bra strap and one final adjustment and you are ready to make a fashion statement.

The care of Cleava is nice and simple.  Just put in right into your washing machine on cold and tumble dry on low heat.

So would like like to win a Cleava?  Enter below for your chance to win a color and style of Cleava that will be selected for you by Cleava.

KidsLac - Probiotics Specially Made for Kids Giveaway / Review $19.95 Value!

So when I was given the opportunity to try out a great kid friendly probiotics product (And Give One Way!!!)...I jumped up and down and waiting at the mail box with baited breath.  Finally it arrived!!

KidsLac

KidsLac contains 5 different strains of healthy bacteria which can help your child's system especially when it is being challenged.  Did you know the largest percentage of your child's immune system resides in their digestive tract?  Well, it is and that is why probiotics can be of such a benefit. 

KidsLac comes in easy to use and take along with you anywhere, as they are in single serve packets.  Each box of KidsLac comes with 20 individual packets - with the serving suggestion being one packet a day - so one box can last an entire month!

It is suggested your child take KidsLac by mixing it with cool food or a drink.  Since we received KidsLac which was sour apple flavored, my boys loved it mixed into apple juice.  They actually asked for it and enjoyed the tartness it added to the apple juice.

Thank you KidsLac for creating an excellent way to get my boys the probiotics they need.

Week 16 Nutrisystem - Down 44 pounds!! #NSNation

Week 16 - which calculates to 4 months or 122 days on Nutrisystem program.  I can't believe how fast the time has went so far...as well as how quick my weight as dwindled and my health and fitness has increased to the max!!

My week was totally insane!  Work was stressful and full of extra hours and long days.  I was only able to get one work out in each day (still haven't missed a single workout yet!!).  My food intake was too low this week and I know it.  It was a challenge to find the time to eat what I should...or even eat at all (But my Nutrisystem breakfast and meals bars came in very handy).  My water intake also suffered.  So as you will see I lost some major weight, but I will not be surpised if next week's scale shows a little gain and that is okay...as this week was far from perfect and not has healthy has it should have been.

But on a positive note, I couldn't believe the compliments I kept receiving.  As with work this past week, I had to be in suits the entire time, which lead to a shopping spree.  And I couldn't believe my eyes...My suits are a size 8!  Yes, I said a size 8!!  And I just have to buy a new pair of jeans too.....

Check it out!!!

I actually had one person admit that they didn't recognize me right away.  And others wanted to know what my secret was.  I told them I am not one to keep secrets and it is with Nutrisystem's help, support and delicious meals that I am becoming the person I know I was.

I am pleased to report I will be requesting my fourth Nutrisystem Bear.....As I lost 4.6 pounds this week!!!

Week 1 - lost 3.5 pounds
Week 2 - lost 3.5 pounds
Week 3 - lost 2.8 pounds
Week 4 - lost 1.6 pounds
Week 5 - lost 5.8 pounds
Week 6 - lost 3.5 pounds

Made from Earth Brand Grapefruit Glycolic Wash Giveaway / Review $15 Value

I am in awe on how a product's aroma can transport you back to another place and time in your life.

This happened the moment I had the opportunity to review (and giveaway) a refreshing, organic, healthy and holistic product that is made in the USA.

Grapefruit glycolic wash with multi-vitamins and amino complex created by Made from Earth.

The fresh citrus smell from the grapefruit was so inviting and rejuvenating.  I couldn't wait to refresh my skin with this cruelty free, hypoallergenic beauty product.

I love the very gentle exfoliation this perfect product offers.  Grapefruit glycolic wash removes your skins surface impurities by using a high concentration of Vitamin C.  And the added gentle jojoba beads (you can see them in this clear wash) help stimulate your skin and activate the glycolic acid.  Which in turn regenerates your skins natural renewal process. 

I had no idea grapefruit had such powerful antioxidants which fight free radical damage and can cause premature aging.  And I have to say again...this Made from Earth Grapefruit glycolic wash smells so inviting!!

All you have to do is wet your face and neck with some warm water.  Use a small amount of this refreshing wash and massage it into a circular pattern for one to two minutes.  Just make sure to keep it out of your mouth and eyes.  When finished rinse.

I like how gentle this product is and that I can safely use it two and even up to three times a day.  I highly recommend this refreshing wash...it is cleansing and refreshing all at the same time.

So who wants to win a bottle for their own?  Enter below for your chance to win today and Good Luck.

Dr. Max Powers Intensive Scar Serum Therapy Giveaway / Review $22.99 Value

How many of you have scars?  How many of you have scars that you wish were less visible?

I know I have way too many scars.  Scars thanks to a very active lifestyle and lost of "crashes and burns" not to mention....3 C-sections and Cervical Cancer surgeries.

So, in the past I have used many different products trying to reduce their appearance.  But, I can say I have never used a product that contains rose hips.

Yes, I said rose hips.  I learned thanks to Dr. Max Powers Scar Serum that rose hips contain a rich source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.  I had no idea!  This intensive scar therapy is scientifically formulated with organic ingredients and is hypoallergenic.  Which means it is non-irritating and can be used on your face; which is perfect for those with acne scars.

Each application contains concentrated amounts of vitamin A, B, C and E and antioxidants flavonoids for healing and repairing your skin.  Just, gently rub a pump of Dr. Max Powers Scar Serum directly onto the scarred area, twice a day.  They recommend using this serum for 8 weeks on new scars and three times a day for 3 to 6 months on older scars.

I am only two weeks into using this serum on my old surgical scars and I am excited to see the results.  This serum goes on nice and smooth and has a slight floral/citrus scent.  I like the pump application as it makes it easy to get just the right amount and not to waste any of this intensive scar therapy treatment.

"The main ingredient of the Scar Serum is organic rosehip oil which has been proven to be effective in the regeneration of skin and provide results in the treatment of burns and scars. It contains rich antioxidants, fatty acids, and Vitamin E which can also help diminish the effects of aging."

Cranberry Concentrate w/ Vitamin C Giveaway / Review $16.99 Value

I have always been one of those unlucky people that suffer from UTI (Urinary Tract Infections).  And this issue has increased after my battle with cervical cancer.  I am always on the look out for products that can help keep my urinary tract healthy.

So when I was given the opportunity to sample and review + giveaway a product that may help others and my self with keeping a happy and healthy urinary tract I couldn't wait for it to arrive.

 

It is a product from Lady Soma called Cranberry Concentrate w/Vitamin C. 

 

 

Don't worry if you are not a big Cranberry lover.  This product is in soft gel form.

 

 

Just take one soft gel daily or for intensive use take two soft gels daily (one in the morning and one at night).  Make sure to drink an 8 oz. glass of water when you take your dose.

 

 

Lady Soma uses whole cranberries to create this made in the USA product.  Each soft gel contains Vitamin C, antioxidants and the skin, pulp, seeds and juice from cranberries.

 

There are NO artificial colors or preservatives.  Did you know Cranberries prevent bacteria from attaching to the bladder wall, promoting a healthy urinary tract.

I found the soft gels ease to swallow with no aftertaste as long as I drank the recommended water.  So far so good.  No UTI's!

 

Thanks Lady Soma.  Now enter below for your chance to win a bottle of your own.
