Nair’s Brazilian Spa Clay Total Care Body Trio Review

June 4, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 15 Comments

I received product samples to provide you with this review. This is a sponsored post, but all thoughts and opinions stated herein are 100% my own.

One thing that I don’t really enjoy is shaving every day. I also don’t enjoy the way my legs feel if I don’t shave. So unfortunately I find myself with the razor and shaving cream every single day.

When I first started shaving my legs, I remember using Nair. I remember that I didn’t like the smell of it, but it did the job. This was a commercial that still sticks in my mind when I think of Nair…

I was a little excited to hear about a new product from Nair, their Brazilian Spa Clay products. These are products that are infused with moisturizing mango butter, acai better and mineral-rich cay. Being able to remove hair without a razor once in a while and leaves my skin soft sounds good to me!

This weekend I decided to give the Nair Brazilian Spa Clay a try. With this product you use the Pre-Use Wipes on the area you are going to apply the clay. You then apply the clay with the tool included, wait a couple minutes and then rinse it off.

When I first opened the container of the Spa Clay I had to smell it. I was so thrilled when it didn’t have the regular Nair scent that I am used to. Once I removed it and got out of the shower, I applied the Nair Moisturizing Gel and it made my skin super soft.

I haven’t tried it yet, but Nair also has the Brazilian Spa Clay that is meant just for facial hair. They also have the Nair Shower Power Cream, Face Wax Strips, Body Wax Strips and Roll-on Wax from the Brazilian Spa Clay line.

Now is time to get your body ready for bikini season! For more information on the Nair hair removal products visit: www.naircare.com.

Shop At Safeway & Save At The Pump + $50 Safeway Gift Card Giveaway

May 31, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 124 Comments

I received a Safeway gift card for sharing this information with you about the Safeway gas rewards program. No monetary compensation was received and the thoughts and opinions stated herein are 100% my own.

When it comes to living life, I wish I could save money on groceries and I definitely wish I could save money on gas. I can remember back when I was young and gas was only 99 cents a gallon. If gas wasn’t going on $5 per gallon these days for the good stuff, I would probably do a whole travel a whole lot more. Unfortunately I have to put Premium gas in my car which can add up when you fill up.

For those of you with a Safeway near, you can earn gas rewards just for making purchases with your Safeway Rewards Card. Not all of the Safeways have a gas station, but for those that do, you can earn up to 20 cents per gallon in rewards. Before you could just save at the Safeway gas pumps, but now you can use your Safeway Gas Reward Points at participating Chevron and Texaco locations. I live in the Sacramento area and was able to find a participating pump at the Chevron only a few minutes away!

When you are at one of the participating Chevron stations, you will see a pump that looks similar to this:

If you are in the Sacramento or Bay area, be sure to take advantage of these savings on the necessary expenses, gas and groceries! If you are in the Sacramento area like me, you might also want to signup for the Safeway Fast Forward program where you can earn 2X the gas reward points.

With the Safeway Gas Rewards program, you can earn:

Every 100 points gets you 10¢ per gallon in gas rewards at participating Chevron, Texaco and Safeway pumps.
Every 200 points gets you 20¢ per gallon in gas rewards at participating Chevron, Texaco and Safeway pumps.
Every 1,000 points gets you $1 per gallon in gas rewards at participating Safeway pumps.

G.H. Cretors Popped Corn Review

May 22, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 22 Comments

I received product samples to facilitate this post. I did not receive any monetary compensation and the thoughts and opinions stated herein are 100% my own.

All of my kids enjoy snacking on popcorn so I usually keep it stocked in my pantry. After a while though, the traditional butter flavored popcorn can get a little boring.

We recently received a variety of the G.H. Cretors Popped Corn for review and boy was it a HIT with not only the kids, the hubby too!

The G.H. Cretors Popped Corn products are Gluten FREE and contain NO GMOs. You can currently find this popped corn in five different varieties including:

Just The Caramel Corn
Just The Cheese Corn
Chicago Mix
Kettle Corn
Caramel Nut Crunch

All five of the flavors are yummy, but the Caramel Nut Crunch was my FAVORITE. I happen to LOVE caramel corn and the added roasted nuts makes this bag perfect. I almost didn’t want to share this bag!

It all began in 1885 when Great Grandpa Cretors invented the popcorn machine and our family began perfecting the art of popping corn. His modern machine appeared at the Chicago Columbian Exposition in 1893, and for five generations we’ve been following in his corn-popping footsteps, taste-testing recipes around our kitchen table.

May 16, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 26 Comments

“I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Magisto. I received a promotional code for premium features to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.”

This last week I had to make a couple videos in my Photoshop class. I was pretty impressed with the app that my teacher had showed us that it had me interested in looking for other apps that I can use for FREE to make cute and silly videos with my kids and pets.

Yesterday I downloaded the Magisto app to my iPhone. This is a video editing app that makes is super easy to make a professional video that is complete with effects and transitions in just a click or two. The Magisto app is currently available for both the iPhone and Android devices. Once you create your video and it has been produced, you can choose to share in one click via Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or email.

When you produce your email you will get an email with the link to your video. Once you are on that link not only can you share your video as I mentioned above, you can also choose the embed option so that you are given code to embed your video on your website if you like. Below is a fun video I created for fun with the app to see how it works:

The Magisto video editing app is really neat and easy to use. You can use videos on your phone that you have already taken, or you can use the app to take videos. To create a video you shoot or select a video, select a editing style and then a song. There is a free version with this app, but there is also a premium account that will give you more magic for your videos. Right now my readers can get 3 FREE downloads on the Magisto app by using the coupon code: MomsRule in the settings area of this app. This coupon code is valid through the end of May so hurry and take advantage of it.

For those that got a good video on Mother’s Day, there is still time to enter the Magisto Mother’s Day Challenge for a chance to a Samsung Galaxy Note Tablet. This contest ends on May 17, 2013 at 11:59pm Eastern Time.

Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Crust Review & Giveaway

May 13, 2013 by Stefani Tolson 62 Comments

“Disclosure: The prize pack, information, and giveaway have been provided by General Mills and Pillsbury through MyBlogSpark.”

I LOVE pizza and most of the time I prefer to make it myself. I usually make the pizza dough by scratch but sometimes I don’t have the time and have to rely on products like the Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Crust to save me a little time.

The Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Crust with Whole Grain allows you to make a homemade pizza in just minutes. You simply open the package, roll out the dough, prebake the crust and then add your favorite toppings. Place in the oven and bake again for around 8-10 minutes and you have yourself a fresh home baked pizza. The toppings that you can add to the Pillsbury Artisan Crust is endless with so many different pizza ideas.

Since I am trying to create meals that are “more healthier”, I like that this crust contains 16 grams of whole grain per serving. If you need ideas for toppings, be sure to visit the Pillsbury website for Artisan Pizza Recipes including:

BBQ Chicken Pizza
Breakfast Pizza
Veggie and Sausage Skillet Pizza
Chicken Pesto Pizza
Grilled Sausage and Pepper Pizza
and more yummy recipes….

My pizzas normally will have pepperoni and cheese for the kids, but I have found that chicken, bacon, cheese and ranch work well together on top of a pizza too! What is really cool is you can make these Artisan style pizzas not only in your oven, but on your BBQ grill too!

Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Crust Prize Pack Giveaway

One of my LUCKY winners is going to receive a Prize Pack that includes:

A VIP coupon for one FREE Pillsbury Artisan Pizza Crust with Whole Grain
