For me it is hard to explain how well it worked on my friend's hair, who was nice enough to let me do her hair. I think with this product that the pictures speak better then words itself. So here is the before and after pictures of her hair.

Review & Giveaway: Cowgirl Chocolates

A few facts about Cowgirl Chocolates taken from the website:

Cowgirl Chocolates was founded by head Cowgirl Marilyn Lysohir in

1997. Her two favorite things in the world are art (she has a notable

career as a ceramic sculptor) and chocolate.

Cowgirl Chocolates…chocolates with a spicy cowgirl kick. She was the
pioneer, one of the first companies to offer spicy chocolates in the
world.

The Heart's Thoughts:

Have you ever tasted chocolate that has a “kick” to it? Have you ever tasted chocolate that is hot and I mean hot like spicy hot? I received a sampling of Cowgirl Chocolates and I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from a spicy chocolate.But very much to my surprise, it was very delicious! It definitely had the “WOW” factor to it that I truly did not think was going to be there. I was one of the people like that is sitting there saying you can't mix spicy with chocolate there just is no way. I have never tasted anything like it. If you are feeling a little adventurous and can handle/love spicy foods Cowgirl Chocolates is definitely the chocolate for you. Everyone that I got to taste the chocolates where like WOW it was really good. I asked then was it what they thought it was going to be when I told them what kind of candy it was and they all said no. Some said they thought it was going to gross and they fell in love the spicy chocolate.

Review & Giveaway: Crunchmaster Crackers

Here is a little bit about CrunchMaster take from their website:

What's Inside Our Crackers?

It's not so much what's inside our crackers as what's not inside. At Crunchmaster, we believe in keeping our products simple and real. We don’t put in any artificial flavors, preservatives or other icky stuff.

Our products are only made with all natural ingredients like pure, California grown rice, sesame, quinoa, amaranth and flax seeds.

Grown for You

Our crackers are made in the USA at our baking facility in Loves Park, IL using only the highest quality ingredients.
We use only pure, GMO free, California grown rice. The sesame seeds used in our products are grown in the U.S. with a special hybrid that was developed to fit the climate in Texas and Oklahoma. Our quinoa and amaranth seeds are sourced from the Andean region in South America. And our flax seeds are grown in the plains of the upper Midwest and Canada.
Each of these seeds are known for their unique, nutritional benefits. Quinoa is sometimes called the "mother of all grains," since it contains a balanced set of essential amino acids for humans, making it an unusually complete food. Several studies have shown that amaranth seed, like oats, may be of benefit for those with hypertension and cardiovascular disease.
Studies have shown that among other benefits, the sesamin in sesame can lower total and LDL cholesterol and raise tocopherol levels. Flax seeds contain high levels of lignans and Omega-3 fatty acids and may help lower your cholesterol levels.

The Heart's Thoughts:
I was giving the chance to review some crackers from Crunchmaster. I am always looking for a really good snacks for my sister-in-law to give her boys because like any kids they are growing and love to eat. It seems like every time I turn around they are wanting something to eat, more so for her youngest. He is always yelling "Mama, I want something to eat." And as a mom, she was so very happy to see them want to eat something that was actually good for them.

Because in the world today, it seems that more and more products that we see have all of this extra in them that we do not want to give our families. I think all kids love chips and crackers, but not all chips and crackers are things that we want kids eating. Because lets face it, kids are all about junk food, and if it is in the house we are going to eat it, too.

In out household we all try to eat health and how can we eat health when all we seem to have is junk food around. So, I am always looking for the the next best thing when it comes to snack time, as way to help my sister-in-law and brother. Well a couple of weeks ago I was sent a whole box of samples of the Crunchmaster Crackers to try out and I gave some to my sister-in-law for her boys. She, let her friends kids try them and they all liked them.

Review & Giveaway: Bummas

A little about Bummas taken from their website:

The creation of Bummas came about when we had our first baby boy. When your first arrives, you are given all kinds of advice:
"Use the wet commercial wipes, don’t use the wet commercial wipes, use gauze; use whatever is handy to block the pee; use another diaper to block the pee; don’t use that, use this; use powder to dry them off, don’t use powder-it contains talc and studies have linked talc to cancer.”
The one thing that was never mentioned was how to dry our little guy’s “stuff” off after the clean up. Our baby’s bum was just way too wet to put a diaper back on--and blowing down there until you’re blue in the face just wasn’t working. Thus Bummas were born. A soft absorbent, luxurious baby cloth to soak up all the wetness.

The Routine

Grab a Bumma cloth wipe before opening the diaper. Sneak “attacks” are frequent and will happen the second you open the diaper! Place the Bumma over the privates while tending to the other parts.
One Bumma will soak up an entire pee. Clean up baby with a regular wipe or wet a Bumma and clean up sensitive skin. Use another Bumma to thoroughly dry baby off. Re-diaper. If the cover Bumma gets soaked rinse it off and throw it in the wash. The payoff- a dry bum, no diaper rash, and no surprise squirts. Save money on diapers, and save by not having to buy powder, and ointment.

Heart's Thoughts:
These wash clothes are very soft and are great not only for babies but my three year loves his Bummas. I would tell any mom with a little baby or even a toddler to head over to Bummas and check out all the lovely colors to chose from. As you can see from above they have a cloth set to fit anyones needs. They are soft and light and as easy for a toddler to use that is just learning to wash him/her self like my daughter is. When she head bath, she goes right to the clothes and grabs her wash cloth. She know which ones are hers and which on are mommy and daddy's.
