TwigFootWear.com Review & Giveaway

Twig Footwear For Kids Review & Giveaway by Life According To GreenVics,

Twigfootwear.com is a company that is family owned, and prides itself on healthy feet.  The shoes my Vic Silas is wearing are called Dallas. They are extremely light weight, and flexible.  Made from the best natural materials. Bonus, they have velcro straps!  The quality of the shoe, and fit are to help little ones walk properly, learn gait, and prevent tripping.  

My son  does not like to wear shoes.  He's a country boy at heart living in the city of Columbus.  These Twig Kids Shoes are seriously some of the  best shoes I've put on him. He didn't even notice they were on. Not only did he not freak out, but he also was able to tippy toe in the shoes when excited.  He did not try to kick the shoes off like he is known for either.  Today he was on grass, cement, hay, and gravel while wearing the shoes.  He's only a year old, and he was beyond adorable in them.  The color of the Dallas shoes in brown with the orange are perfect for any season but for me, it screams fall. We love fall here. They come in Grey as well.  Since Twig Footwear feels natural. As if no shoes were being worn. It was a must to venture out into nature to pick a pumpkin!

Healthy Feet Make A Happy Baby!

Of course no one wants to wear uncomfortable shoes.  Why let your child wear shoes that hurt their feet? These shoes come with an extra insert.  If your kid has wide feet just take out the padded insert that's already in the shoe, and add the extra thinner pair that comes with the shoes in the box.  Really? What shoes do that? Twig Footwear Kids shoes does that.

When opening the shoes we were also giving a pair of socks.  They are called Spox by Twig,  "A pair with a spare." Now it should take a little longer to lose all three! Let's hope! The socks are soft, stretchable, and didn't cut the circulation of his super cute chubby baby legs.  

Spox by Twig.. are 3 socks in a pack! In case you lose one!

These shoes deserve their 5 out of 5 GreenVics rating.  Not only did the little one forget they were on, he also could still climb, tippytoe, and be himself.  Twig makes all kinds of different styles.  Both girl shoes and boy shoes.  The little girls are adorable.  They made me want to have a baby girl now just to buy shoes.

To find out what Twig offers, you can find Twig On Facebook & Online at TwigFootwear.com

One lucky follower can enter to win a $60.00 TwigFootwear.com Gift Certificate to their website to pick whatever Twig Footwear Kids Shoes needed/wanted, Something cute for Christmas?!  Twig makes boots too!! 

In his new "Dallas" Twig Footwear Kids Shoes.

The Bronx Naturals Soy Candle Bella Review

100% Soy Wax Candle, Natural Fragrance & Cotton Wick

From one avid candle user, and lover of natural oils to another I'd like to introduce you to, TheBronxNaturals.com Soy Candles.  This Candle is called Bella. 

The experience of ripe peach and earthy sandalwood's really do fill the room. I enjoyed the sweetness of the candle.   I like my candles sweet like I am. The wax is extremely oily, and can be used on the skin once cooled down some.  So that's always a plus. I've been burning my candle almost every other day these past 2 weeks for about 3 hours a day, and it's only half way melted.   I have nothing but positive things to say about this candle.  

Little Info On The Bronx Naturals, The Candles have a burn life of 40 hours. Like I said before, mine is only half way melted.  Soy Wax really does burn longer.  The only thing to keep into consideration is to always make sure the cotton wick is trimmed to 1/8", and to let the candle burn evenly for a few hours before blowing it out.   Like any candle,  it should be respected, and used at caution.  

The Bronx Naturals makes some fantastic, Natural fragrances for their 100% Soy Wax Candles.  

• Bella: Ripe Peaches & Sandalwood 
• Fresco: Exotic Floral & Ginger 
• Temptress: Sandalwood
• Lemon Energy: Sweet Lemon, Sage, & Orange Blossom 
• Velvet Rose: Exotic Woodsy Fresh Rose, & Jasmine

Limited Time:  Classic Vanilla, or Classic Lavender.  

TheBronxNaturals On Facebook | The Bronx Naturals Website 

I received Bella to sample for my review.  I really am hooked, for just an 11oz candle, the aroma it releases put me into such a great mood.  I give this candle 5 out of 5 stars.  I love to experience products that last more than just one use.

If you want to give a great soy candle a chance.  I would definitely make The Bronx  Naturals a go to for a gift for yourself or some one that loves a great aromatherapy candle.

My motto is.. TRY IT! You might like it!

Amazon7 Trio Review & Giveaway

My Review & Giveaway for NaturalSkinShop.com, Amazon7 Trio.  Medical Grade.  Paraben Free. Cruelty Free.   

I'm always on the prowl to find amazing skin care products that are full of vitamins.  Natural Skin Shop has that, and then some.  Including nutrients, antioxidants, and hydration.  

What I enjoyed about this Trio the most, was the amazing smell of the trio & the results each gave my skin.

The Amazon7 Trio consists of Cleansing gel, Serum, and Moisturizer.  Each full of the Super7 Fruits. That's what gives it that amazing smell.   

Amazon7 Age Combat Cleansing Gel, 16oz. has just the right consistancy, and soap lather.  The Aroma of the Mango stands out the most to me, and made me look forward to washing my face. 

Amazon7  Age Combat Serum, 1oz. I really thought worked fantastic. After washing my face I used the serum, and it felt cool on my warm skin.  I always get hot, and over heated when I get out the shower.  Even if I wash with just warm water, I feel too hot.  The Serum cooled my skin down. 

Amazon7 Age Combat Moisturizer, 1.7oz. After using this my skin seemed to glow.  It also felt, and looked smoother.  The smell again, I just couldn't help but want to apply. 

The Trio reinforces your skin with vitamins and nutrients. What also helps is that it contains Amazon Super Fruits. The Hyaluronic acid helped give my skin that healthy glow without being harsh on it. I was a little worried about drying my skin out, but really the balance it gave my skin is well worth it. I did give this Amazon 7 Trio a longer review because before using it my face had been breaking out.  I am 30 years old, and whenever I break out I feel horrible about myself, and what it's doing to my skin. I really do like the tone of my skin afterwards.

The 7 SuperFruits That make up the Amazon7 Active Ingredients are;

GOJI: Soothes a number of skin conditions, including allergies, rash and psoriasis.

COFFEEBERRY: Superior ability to defend and protect cells against oxidative stress and free radicals, the major cause of skin aging.

ACAI: Rich in essential fatty acids found in the acai berry also helps moisturize the skin and help smooth away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles .

NONI: Analgesic, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

POMEGRANATE, GREEN TEA & MANGO: Miracle fruits rich in antioxidants, which are helpful in destroying free radicals.

HYALURONIC ACID Holds in moisture, providing cushioning, aiding in tissue repair, holding together the skin structural components collagen and elastin.

Washing My Face With The Amazon7 Combat Cleansing Gel

I give this Trio 5 out of 5 stars!! I love how my skin feels, smells, and looks.  To me, that means so much to have healthy, glowing skin.  Personally, I think skin care is a must.  Anyone can apply makeup to hide things, but I believe it's better to protect, and moisturize the skin.  I feel as if my skin is beautiful, therefor I am beautiful.  I received this Trio for free for my honest, open opinion.

Chobani Greek Yogurt Review & Giveaway

CHOBANI Greek Yogurt Review & Giveaway

CHOBANI Greek Yogurt was delicious.  Recently, I received Mango Low Fat, Blood Orange Non-Fat, Apple Cinnamon Non-Fat, Pineapple Low-Fat, & Champions; Vanilla Chocolate Chunks, Orange Vanilla (For Kids.)  Chonbani is made with natural ingredients.

        

The Texture of the yogurt is thick, not bitter like some other greek yogurt brands I've tried.  

I enjoyed, and felt as if I was indulging in all the sweet varieties, There are also fruit mixed into the yogurt so it's never boring.  

My Toddler loved the Champions flavors, I even tried both and thought they were delicious.  I will not feed him things that I wouldn't eat myself.  

I received these yogurts to sample for free.  One lucky follower will win a case of Chobani delivered to their front door from CHOBANI.  Just remember that Chobani is greek yogurt.  Greek yogurt is thick, with a texture like sour cream. The way its made, is it's usually heated, and cultured, that's why there is no liquid at the top like many normal yogurts.  Greek yogurt also normally has more protein, and less sugar than other brands.

If you are on mobile, and for some reason can't enter, I can manually add you in for entries for liking Chobani & Life According to GreenVics.

Mia Mariu Mi Dulzura Lip Gloss & Mineral Foundation Review

I have been embracing make-up.  I used to think all make up would clog my pores, and make ones face seem oily til I discovered Mineral Foundation.  I don't think of make up like that at all now.  Ideal make up for me would be age-defying, hydrating, and full of minerals.  Something that will not make me look older, or oily. 

Wearing Mia Mariu Mineral Foundation & Lip Gloss

Mia Mariu  Perfecting Finish Mineral Foundation did not clog my pores, my skin looks even toned even without any powder, and I don't feel oily.  Honestly I forget it's even on.  There is no weird make up scent.  No uneven skin tones,  for someone that doesn't do her makeup I even had an easy time applying it.  What makes Mia Mariu stand out to me than the rest are the natural minerals, green tea, lecithin, and vitamins A&E.   I'm someone that believes in skin hydration, not to just cover up the problem areas.

Now lip gloss I am not afraid of at all.  I was excited that Mia Mariu sent me Dulzura (Sweet) Luminous Lip Gloss.  The gloss really is sweet,  after I applied it, I just wanted to smack my lips together because it tastes like cake.  I usually don't wear pinks, but it grew on me.  It doesn't look bad on me at all.  It's not too shiny, and not too dull.  It's also full of vitamins.  This is a color I can see myself wearing to any event, day or night.  Plus, with the cooler weather approaching, it's nice to have lip gloss on to protect my lips from the elements. 

Mia Mariu Dulzura CLG02

I'm loving this line on me.  I've received so many compliments on my skin, and lips today that I will continue to wear Mia Mariu.  I know once my sister see's this shade of pink, and smells it she's going to be begging me for it, but no way! It's mine!  I received these products to sample for free for my honest, open opinion, but my Sis doesn't need to know that.

Almondina Cookies Review & Giveaway

I don't know about you, but anything made by Grandma Dina sounds great to me.  What's created are Almondina, An  All natural, No Added Fat Or Salt, No Cholesterol, and No Preservatives. It's the award winning recipe the way Grandma Dina used to make in her kitchen.

The Almond Cookies are pretty tasty.  Almondinas are thin, crispy cookies.  They are full of flavor, and great natural ingredients.  Even my Toddler loved them, and kept stealing them from off my plate. Four cookies are about a serving size, my favorites were the Sesame Almondina, and they were 138 Calories for 4.

They were almost too beautiful to eat, and please, never, ever call them the B word.. They aren't, they are so much better, and a more healthier alternative.

I received the Sesame, Original, Chocolate Cherry, Choconut, and Ginger Spice for review.  The whole family enjoyed them all.  It's just wonderful to find a product that we all can eat, that isn't horrible for you.

Little back history of Almondina, Current Owner for the past two decades, Yuval Zaliouk was a world renown musical conductor.  Zaliouk's company is based in Ohio and his Almondina cookies are sold in all 50 States and several foreign countries. If you want to know where to buy them in your state, try Almondinas Store Locator.  Where I'm at in Columbus, Ohio, They are easy to find in Andersons.

Now, how exciting is it that one lucky follower will win the same items in the sampler pack I received??
U.S. Only! Giveaway begins 9/1/2012 AM EST, Ends 9/15/2012 AM EST.  Winner is chosen at random via Raffle Copter, If you can't use rafflecopter just leave me a comment saying so, and if you are a fan, I can add  you in for 50 Entries.  I believe every one should be able to enter. Use a valid Email Address, Winner has 7 days after being notified to reply back, or prize if forfeited and new winner will be announced.

Garden Botanika CoQ10 Facial Mist & Repair Cream

I never realized how many great products were out there til recently.  Instead of wasting money on lotions that just smell good, but have no vitamins in them, I've been on a mission to find ones that actually have things worth moisturizing, firming, and help to rebuild cells.

I've been using Garden Botanika Skin Care, CoQ10 Facial Mist, and CoQ10 Repair Cream.

I turned 30 in July, and it hit me that my skin isn't the same as it was.  It will never be the same, but I CAN, help slow down the aging process.



The Facial CoQ10 Mist is really refreshing.  Just a couple sprays and my face felt cool, and tightened.

After using the Mist, I use the Repair Cream.  At first there is a light Aloe smell, but once rubbed in, it completely goes away.  I love that both have CoQ10 in it.

You can save 50% off On Super Saving Tuesdays (They base this on sales, and what other customers favorites.) So that's pretty awesome. There's always some type of sale going on.


The facial mist really is a must,  I use it after I shower, and before I go to bed, it's so easy to just mist.  I already use leave in spray Conditioners for my hair, why not my face too?? I'm not getting any younger here!



I received these products for free for my honest, open, opinion.

The Orginal Dish Drying Mat

I am enjoying this dish mat, It's always on my counter.  My husband has a nasty habit of splashing water everywhere when he's at the sink, and this mat absorbs x4 its weight in water. Which is GREAT.  It's also very soft, and cushioned for dedicates.  I mostly wash things that won't fit in the dish washer, and let it try on my mat.  It's also machine washable, and durable.  Which is great, since I use it everyday.

The Original Dish Drying Mat is sold Exclusively at Bed, Bath, & Beyond.  This really is a great house hold item,  It's made my life alot easier not having to worry to go behind my husband to clean water off the counter.  I also use it to dry my tea pitcher, utensils, pans, the babies bottles, and nipples.  It's extremely convenient to dry the bottle brush too.

(The unique, laminated design combines a thin layer of foam between two layers of high-quality, super-absorbent microfiber. 16" X 18")

I received the Green, Original Dish Drying Mat for my honest, open, opinion.  

If you'd like to learn more about The Original Dish Drying mat, You can check them out at The Orginal TM, there are other products too for Kitchen, Cleaning, Home, and Pet.
