Ultimate Mineral Foundation never settles in lines, and actually diffuses, minimizes and reduces any signs of aging without an unflattering “mask” line. Natural clays from the earth absorb oils without drying or pulling moisture away from your skin, and vital skin nutrients like amino acids and proteins from pure crushed ocean pearls helps fight signs of aging, balances moisture levels and assists in keeping skin healthy.
    Radiance Foundation You want dewy, fresh, radiant skin without the shimmer other mineral foundations have. Radiance Mineral Foundation bathes your skin in 100% pure light reflecting minerals that smoothes away dullness and brightens skin naturally. Radiance never settles in lines or wrinkles, but creates an illuminating protective layer on top of your skin so natural looking, everyone will think you just had a facial-everyday. Morning to evening long wear transforms dull skin to radiant skin without skipping a beat….or a party, because the natural ingredients naturally adhere to the skin without budging.

    Artisana Nut Butters *Review and #Giveaway*

    I am a lover of healthy, natural and delicious foods. At Artisana, that is exactly what you will find. 

    Artisana- The Art of Healthy Food (from the Artisana website)

    Creating unique, delicious, healthy, gourmet food is a work of passion for us, blending together nuts and seeds like the vibrant colors of an artist's palette. Handmade with care, our organic live foods are crafted using a special low heat process that always preserves the life-essential fatty acids, proteins, vitamins, and enzymes. Artisana: Raw life-energy from Sun to Plant to Body.

    I was sent a variety of Artisana products to review. One 8oz glass container of Organic Cacoa Bliss, one 8oz glass container of Organic Coconut Butter and 10 of their squeeze packs in all of their flavors. (one is not pictured because I got into it before taking the picture)

    I instantly fell in love with their products once I tried the Pecan Butter with Cashews! I cut a "V" shape out of my banana, going from one side to the other, and filled it with the Pecan Butter. I then sliced the banana in bite sized pieces and served it just like that. YUM!!
    It was absolutely delish..a wonderful chunky texture! So much better than our typical peanut butter and banana. SOOO Much Better!! My husband, my 2 year old and I really enjoyed this snack.
    I used the Cacao Bliss(raw chocolate coconut butter) for "frosting" on some sugar cookies. It converted a sugar cookie into a chocolate coconut cookie! It was incredible! You really only need a tad bit to enjoy the flavor of the Cacao Bliss. A little goes a long way with flavor...tastes like coconut with a touch of chocolate. Which was the opposite of what I was expecting. We heated it, in the jar, to make it spreadable.(it does state on the jar, it is solid at room temperature)
    We also spread the Cacao Bliss onto a piece of whole wheat bread. Healthy and yummy!
    Although it was superb, I think we will add some bananas next time to calm down the flavor. It's pretty intense!
    I found myself getting creative with the squeeze packs. I made a Cashini Butter and jelly sandwich. A lot different from the regular PB& J. The Cashini Butter has such a rich flavor! This one was very creamy and did not have chunks.
    My favorite nut is Macadamia. Since I love them so much, I decided to eat that one straight out of the packet. There are also cashews in this one. I was not disappointed at all! It's amazing what Artisana has packed into those little pouches. So much flavor and so fresh!
    Artisana Products
    • Do not need to be refrigerated
    • Are peanut, gluten and dairy free
    • Have no extra ingredients(no sugar,salt, or preservatives)
    • Are 100% certified organic nuts, seeds and coconut meat

    To find out more about Artisana products, please visit the Artisana website.
    Artisana is also on twitter and facebook.
    Would I recommend Artisana Products to my friends and family? ABSOLUTELY!
    To Purchase
    Visit one of the many Artisana Retailers.
    Prices vary from $12-$15 for the 8oz jars and no more than $2 for the squeeze packs(which is great if you would like to sample before buying the full sized jar) 

    To Win
     Artisana has offered ONE lucky winner an 8oz jar(winners choice) and an assortment of on-the-go squeeze packs! Awesome, huh?

    @Prefense Hand Sanitizer *Review and #giveaway *


    As a mother, I do my best to prevent my kids from getting sick. I feel like I am constantly telling them to wash their hands. We use hand sanitizer every time we go out to eat, use a public restroom or well, go anywhere public.
    I have found an amazing product! A hand sanitizer that last for 24 hours, or up to 10 hand washes! When I found out about Prefense, I went straight to researching and I found out some great things!
    • NO ALCOHOL! ~ Alcohol dries skin and seems much too strong to use on my little ones hands!
    • LAST FOR 24 HOURS!~ Really? I don't have to apply over and over when I am out and about?WOW
    • 100% POISON FREE!~ I don't have to worry if BuBu gets a hold of it. Not that I'd let her play with it if she did, but it does relieve me a bit knowing it wont hurt her.
     I was sent a 2 oz bottle of Prefense for review.
    Prefense is a foaming hand sanitizer that is silica based. It does not dry out your skin and actually leaves them very soft. It has a very light scent that I thought was great because my husband is "allergic" to the ones with perfumes. They make him sneeze and Prefense doesn't. I love that I can have my daughter apply this right before she goes to school and I don't have to worry about germs invading her skin while she's there. Prefense stays affective for 24 hours!


     I want to tell the world about Prefense! Seriously, people need to know about this amazing product! Every year, when school starts, my daughter picks up a cold or other sickness within the first couple weeks. We have been using Prefense since a week before she started, and she is on her second week...no one has been sick. I really believe it has a lot to do with Prefense! Some of the viruses Prefense protects us from are staph, strep, E.coli, drug resistant MRSA strains, and more.

    To Purchase Prefense Products: Visit the Prefense Website or you can purchase on Amazon
    To Learn more about Prefense: You can find Prefense on facebook and twitter

    Prefense has offered one Lucky GreeN MaM-a JaM-a reader a 8oz bottle(that's 640 applications!!) Giveaway is opened to US only! Enter using the Rafflecopter form below. Thanks and good luck!!

    Sending our daughter off with a great dorm room(Guest Post)

    Guest post written by Angela Reese
    One of the things that I thought about as soon as it was the last month before my daughter was going to start college was her dorm room. I had to think about that because I just love interior decorating and knew that it would be a really good chance for her to have fun with it and try out some new decor.
    While I was online trying to find some really good deals on bedding, which is the foundation for dorm room decorations, I ran across the website www.CLEARwirelessinternet.com. After I looked through it some and thought it over, I decided to change over my home internet service to the provider. We had been shopping around for a new internet service anyway.
    We found a really cute little reversible comforter for her to use, which would be good for whenever she gets tired of one side or would just like to change things up some. We also found some really neat storage ideas that we're going to try out for all of her clothes, which is what I'm most worried about fitting into that dorm room.

    Maukilo/ HABA Memo-Orchard game *Review*

    My children's education is very important to me. I believe it is much easier for a child to learn while having fun. When purchasing toys, I look for educational ones. Educational and fun work together to make a smart and happy kid.

    I was sent the HABA Memo Orchard game to review.
    • This game is suitable for ages 3-99+. 
    • Number of players 2-4.
    The object of the game is to collect all the fruit before the raven makes it to the end of the trail and takes it. Each player gets a turn rolling the dice, they then flip over a card to see if their fruit matches the color on the dice. If it does, they collect that fruit and put it in their basket. If it does not match, they flip the card back over and it is the next persons turn. Remembering where a fruit is is important, so it is not like a guessing game but more a memory game. On the dice, there is also a raven. If a player rolls a raven, the raven moves one spot on the board. If he makes it to the last step before the fruits are collected, he wins and ALL the players lose.
    My whole family sat at the table filled with excitement to play(and learn).
    The players: Moo Moo-2 years old, Dee Dee-6 years old, Papa Bear-33 years old and Mama Bear-26 years old.
    We all have a great time every time we play and I feel confident that my kids are learning while having fun. Dee Dee is focusing on her memory skills and Moo Moo is learning her colors. Since we started playing this game a couple weeks ago, Moo Moo has picked up on two new colors that she hadn't been able to recognize before. Purple and Orange.
    One thing I noticed about this game that was awesome is that the players were not against each other. We are all against the Raven. We were all rooting for each other and not battling to win the game. 
    The Raven won this game!

    You can purchase the HABA Memo Orchard game at Maukilo for just $10.88!
    At Maukilo, you can also find some really cute bath toyspretend play foodbooks and tons more!

    Ferro Cosmetics *Review*and info on upcoming *giveaway~Spa for Ma Event!*


    Company overview
    A professional line of eco-couture cosmetics for every woman.
    We design, formulate, and hand cultivate each and every product inside HAUS OF FERRO by our own talented and experienced artists and naturopaths. We offer a stunning array of products and colors with a twist, to shades that are invisibly natural, totally weightless, and true-to-skin tones. Ferro Cosmetics captures the natural skin soothing, long-wearing,smudge-proof, rub-proof, and waterproof benefits that the natural ingredients already possess.
    Simply put- we create products not found anywhere else!

    I am a mother of three...I don't have too much time to do my make up. Since I am usually in a rush, my usual make up consists of foundation, eyeliner, eyelash curler and maybe mascara.

    I was given the opportunity to review Ferro Cosmetics Ultimate Mineral Foundation OR their Radiance Mineral Foundation. I chose the Ultimate Mineral Foundation in  Light Beige.

     A bit (from the Ferro Cosmetics website) about the Ultimate Mineral Foundation:
    Ultimate Mineral Foundation is our Prestige all-in-one product that acts as concealer, foundation, and powder in one. Flawlessly evens out complexion, perfection in concealing, buffs away redness, and completely hides blemishes so people see you’re your skin NOT your makeup! Ultimate Mineral Foundation never settles in lines, and actually diffuses, minimizes and reduces any signs of aging without an unflattering “mask” line. Natural clays from the earth absorb oils without drying or pulling moisture away from your skin, and vital skin nutrients like amino acids and proteins from pure crushed ocean pearls helps fight signs of aging, balances moisture levels and assists in keeping skin healthy.

    Extremely water resistant and won’t slide off during heavy perspiration or even swimming. High concentrations of Zinc and Titanium Dioxide shields from harmful UVA and UVB rays, and also calms and soothes red inflamed skin caused from acne. Ultimate Mineral Foundation is especially good for acneic skin; offering full coverage as well as skin soothing benefits. Use with sponge, concealer brush, or wet to make Ultimate Camoflauge makeup.

    INGREDIENTS: Titanium Dioxide, Oryza Sativa, Kaolin Clay, Zinc Oxide, Silica, Calcium Carbonate, Pearl Powder, Magnesium Stearate, Mica, Silk Powder, Iron Oxides
    Net Weight
    12 grams

    Made in USA

    PRICE: $29.95


    My opinion:
    The Ultimate Mineral Foundation was light weight, and looked natural. The first time using it, I applied it with a make up sponge in the morning before setting out for the day. It was 98 degrees outside and I felt like I was going to melt. After sweating my butt off running errands for about 2 hours, I noticed my face still looked clean and dry and was not oily like usual. I was impressed! I have already swapped out my old foundation for this one. I have used it daily for about two weeks now. I have noticed less breakouts in the last two weeks compared to the weeks before.
    For my budget, Ferro Cosmetics is a bit too costly.

    To learn more about Ferro Cosmetics or to purchase, please visit the Ferro Cosmetics website.
    Connect with Ferro Cosmetics on facebook and twitter!

    Keep your eye out for my Spa for Ma post! Ferro Cosmetics is a sponsor and will be giving away a full sized Ultimate Mineral Foundation OR Radiance Foundation! Coming August 18!!!

    Funky Monkey T-Shirt *Review*


    I was sent a Funky Monkey T-Shirt from tshirtprinting.net to review. I had a perfect kid in mind who I knew would love this. 
    When I received the t-shirt, I examined the printed design and it seemed very well made. The t-shirt was made of quality fabric and was not too thin or too thick. After a couple washes, the design is still intact and the color has not faded at all. Great t-shirt, great company. Visit their website~  tshirtprinting.net
    A bit from their website: 
    Here at TshirtPrinting.net we have over twenty years experience in the screen printing industry and take pride in offering an honest, easy to understand way of doing business. We believe that you, our customer, are searching for someone to fulfil your printing needs without stress and with your satisfaction being our main aim.

    I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

    Mooney Farms/Bella Sun Luci *Review and Giveaway*

    Mooney Farms

    Built on a foundation of family values, quality, and integrity, three generations of our family work at Mooney Farms. We have a history of using premium ingredients to create a line of healthy Mediterranean inspired products for today’s consumer.

    Thanks to the generosity of the folks at Mooney Farms, I was sent six of their best selling sun dried tomato products. 
    California Sun Dried Tomatoes Julienne Cut with Italian Basil
    California Sun Dried Tomatoes Julienne Cut with Zesty Peppers
    Sun Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil and Herbs - Halves
    Sun Dried Tomatoes in Olive Oil and Herbs - Julienne Cut
    Sun Dried Tomato Pesto with whole pinenuts
    Sun Dried Tomato Bruschetta with Italian Basil
    I knew I was going to get something good, but I was overwhelmed by the deliciousness of these products! I can not stress how much I love them! They are so moist, tender and they taste much sweeter than I imagined!

    On the Mooney Farms website, you can find some healthy, quick and easy recipes. I decided to try out their Smoked Turkey and Sun Dried Tomato Wraps. I was going to a baby shower that evening and I knew this would be a perfect snack to bring. I cut the wraps into bite sized pieces. Inside the wrap, among other ingredients, there is a jar of Bella Sun Luci sun dried tomato pesto and a jar Bella Sun Luci Sun Dried Tomato julienne cut. They were definitely a favorite of the guests! I couldn't help but notice how quick these disappeared! Luckily, I saved a few at home for me and the kids to snack on. We all loved them and will surely make more in the near future!

    This is my favorite product!

    My family went crazy over this! We dabbed a bit onto slices of italian bread and heated it in the oven for a few minutes. Such a quick and delicious snack!

    On a quest to add a twist to our usual tuna bagel, I decided to sprinkle some California Sun Dried Tomatoes Julienne Cut with Italian Basil onto the top. I know, you probably weren't expecting that, and neither was my husband at the time, but it turned out great! It added a kick to the plain ol' tuna bagel. I would highly recommend this!
    *Please excuse the Backyardigans plate. The kids helped prepare.
    I added some Sun Dried Tomato Olive Oil and Herbs~Halves to my salad one night. Delivered a burst of flavor with each bite!

     Out of the 6 products, the Bruschetta Sun Dried Tomato with Extra Virgin Olive Oil was my favorite. The two I didn't try was the Sun Dried Tomato Pesto with Pine Nuts and the California Sun Dried Tomatoes Julienne Cut with Zesty Peppers. There is not doubt in my mind they are just as good as the others...I just wanted to save them for a special occasion.

    BrytonPick~Floss in Seconds *Review*


    BrytonPick~Floss in Seconds


    I am not a big fan of flossing because it takes a lot of time and it is not very convenient while out and about. BrytonPick is another form of flossing that is supposed to be quicker and more convenient.

    I was sent two BrytonPicks to review. 

    Product Benefits:
    • Completely Recyclable!
    • Quick solution when there is no time to floss
    • Convenient and Protable
    • Reusable (for 30 days-*germ-resistant stainless steel) 
    • BrytonPick is 100% produced in the USA at FDA registered facilities(QS-9000 / ISO9001 Certified)

     Instructions:
    1. Keep mouth open in a smiling position
    2. Gently insert either end between teeth
    3. SLIDE between teeth INSIDE-OUT
    • Cleanse with napkin, tissue or hot water
    • Ages 10+
     CAN ALSO BE USED WITH BRACES!! 


    My opinion of the product:
     When I first received the BrytonPick, I looked at it and thought it is about time someone invented something more convenient than floss. I was excited to try it out. My husband thought it looked dangerous.


    That night, we ate steak. A perfect night to try our BrytonPicks! I went straight to the bathroom to use it as it does state to use first in front of a mirror so you can get the hang of it. I found it really easy to use but I did have a problem getting it in between my two front teeth. My teeth are a bit crowded. My husband decided to take his out to the living room and watch the TV while using it for the first time. He ended up with a small cut on his lip. Since he did not follow the instructions, he suffered the consequences. He thinks the BrysonPicks are dangerous and he will not use them again. For the teeth it was able to slide through, I did find little remnants of food on the steel part of the BrytonPick. I found these to be much easier than floss and much more convenient. I love that it comes with a carrying case that fits perfectly in my wallet. I take it with me every time I leave the house and I use it at least once a day. Since I started using it, I have noticed a difference in my teeth as well as my breath. Since there is no food left behind after a meal, I have fresher breath.


    I will definitely recommend these to friends and family. I will also let them know the importance of following the instructions!


    To find out more, visit the BrytonPick website at http://www.brytonpick.com

    You can purchase the BrytonPick at stores such as CVS, A&P, Amazon.com and more. Check their website for more stores!   


    I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

    Cute pajamas are very popular in my house. I have three girls and I love to see them dressed cute for bed. I came across the perfect website called Crazy for Bargains. There are literally hundreds of adorable pajamas to choose from. You can find PJ's for the whole family! Not just pajamas though...there are even robes and slippers!
    I was sent the CUTEST PJ's for me and my daughters to review. Now we own some cute PJ's...but the ones I was sent are by far the cutest I have ever seen! Take a look at my girls in their Crazy for Bargains PJ's!
    In the top photo, Dee Dee(on the left) is wearing a Laura Dare Pink Animal Print Nightgown and Moo Moo is wearing a Laura Dare Dalmation Tie Top Nightgown. BuBu in the bottom photo is wearing Laura Dare Pink Rosebud One-Piece Pajamas.
    Absolutely adorable! My girls ask to wear theses PJ's everyday and I say...Of course! :) I just can not get over the cuteness!
    I was sent the Black Pajamas with Dark Pink Trim for Women. I didn't get a chance to take a picture in them (since I am the one who takes the pics) but I love them! The material is so soft and stretchy. Perfect pajama material!

     Check out these cute little PJ's I found while browsing through their site.
    If I had a boy, I would totally get these!
    I am sure everyone would love these on their little monkey!
    Crazy for Bargains has very affordable prices! You can find some cute pajamas for as low as $3.99 in their girl's clearance section.  I am telling you, if you have never checked out their site, you need to! Think Christmas! I know its a bit away but you could always hold onto it. I always get my kids at least one pair of PJ's for Christmas.

    What I love most about Crazy for Bargains(besides the adorable PJ's):
    • They offer $5 flat rate shipping 
    • Over $40 ships FREE!
    • You can find Pj's for the whole family, including Dad!

    Peter Rabbit Organics *Review and Giveaway*!

    Peter Rabbit Organics
    Peter Rabbit Organics is a small privately-owned company and they enjoy making healthy snacks for our babies and toddlers. Their products are made without salt, added sugars and other artificial ingredients. Sound like something you would like to feed your precious baby? Of course!
    I was sent 6 of their tasty and healthy fruit-n-veggie snack pouches.
     The combination of fruits and veggies packed in each pouch was very different from other baby foods I have seen. For instance, the Pea, Spinach and Apple...to me, that is one odd combination. I was so curious to find out how that tasted, I decided to feed my baby girl that one first.(*for the record, I tried it too and it was yummerz! Tasted mostly like apple) BuBu, my 9 month old, gobbled it up like it was candy. She has always spit out her peas! I love it! Such an awesome way to get her to eat some peas :) When Moo Moo, my 2 year old, saw how interested BuBu was in the pouches, she wanted a taste. She instantly claimed it as her own and didn't want to give it back to BuBu!! Luckily, BuBu had already eaten most of it because Moo Moo finished it off within seconds.
    BuBu~"MINE!"
    Moo Moo~ Come on...hand it over!"
    Ahhh...All mine :)

    My kids really enjoyed every one of the flavors. I thought they were delicious as well. It feels great to know exactly what I am feeding them...what you see listed as the flavor is exactly what is in the pouch!
