Keruig Special Edition Brewing System Giveaway

Life According To GreenVics is excited to join Adventures of 8 and Blog with Mom in a new Advertise with Bloggers Event!

One lucky reader will WIN a Keruig from our friends at Massdrop, the newest way to buy online and save money!

Let me tell you a bit about Massdrop and how you can use this new site to save you MONEY!!! This is unlike any site I have seen before, as it works off of 'group buys' to offer the lowest price and YOU can vote for items you would like to have brought to Massdrop!

Here is how it works - let's say you have always wanted a Keurig B60 Single-Cup Home-Brewing System, but didn't want to pay the high department store price, nor did you want to purchase a refurbished one. What you would do is VOTE to bring the Keurig B60 Single-Cup Home-Brewing System to Massdrop, then once the poll option gets at least 200 votes, they negotiate bulk pricing with the supplier and pass them on to the Massdrop community.

This is where it gets really cool; THE MORE PEOPLE THAT PURCHASE the product, the lower the price!!!

Basically, the sale goes on for seven days, it starts at a certain price and as more people purchase the item the lower the price goes, with up to 3 price drops unlocking until the lowest price available is offered... and in the end you will only be billed for the lowest price; cool, right? The funny thing is that when the community worked together for their first Keurig B60 group-buy, they cleared out all of North American inventory in just a few days.

Oh and a really neat thing is that if you don't see a product that you want, as a community member, you can create a product poll for anything from coffee makers cards to homebrew beer kits.

Go sign up for Massdrop now to see how awesome this site is, then come enter to win a BRAND NEW Keurig B60 Single-Cup Home-Brewing System!

PicturesOnGold.com Mothers Day Locket Review & Giveaway

Men!? Need a unique gift for the Mama in your life? These Mothers Day Lockets from Pictures On Gold are perfect.  I love mine!  Mine has my son, and I.  Then the inside is etched with his name, and birthday.  My favorite tho is the etched photo of us.  He just turned 2, and he may look angelic at times til he becomes hopping mad. Lol!

Creating the locket is as simple as using their Design Your Own Locket app.  It's a very cool website.  I love how easy it is to get something customized.  These are personal, photos of your family. Plus how sweet would it be to have the little ones help with the design process of the locket.  Then when they give  Mommy the gift, they can tell her all how they helped design it.  I would be beyond proud of my little man, and husband for thinking about me like that.  I still have the first Mothers Day card that my husband made our Son "write" his name, haha it's just a bunch of lines, but I love it so much.  This, and some flowers would totally make my day.

It was shipped to me within a couple of days!  In a very beautiful black jewelry box that has a black bow on the front too.

If this is something you'd be interested in getting a loved one,  now is the time to buy.  There is even a 10% off Mothers day code that is valid til 4/31/2013.  There are lots of different types of jewelry too.  The code is:  MOM13

Mothers Day Potted Yellow Rose Review

Disclaimer: I received Products for free to facilitate a review.  All opinions are my own.

I am a huge fan of plants.  Especially ones delivered to me? Alive?? That aren't cut!! I absolutely adore.  Don't get me wrong, I love beautiful fresh cut flowers too, but to me.. the love behind getting something with roots.. is by far the best.  These were delivered to me from ProFlowers.

While browsing the flowers, I kept asking my 2 year old "What flowers do you want to pick out for Mommy?" While all the plants were beautiful, the selection of Mothers Day Plants is huge.

The  hard part really is choosing which one I liked the most!  I really wanted an Orchid too but I didn't know how that would turn out with grabby little toddler hands.  I still would love one! *hint hint anyone that reads this that loves me, hahaha*

Ordering was extremely easy.    After falling for the Potted Yellow Roses I then had the choose which container I wanted.  I could have just got the container it came with that was free with the plant.  Tho, soon as I saw the yellow roses, with the Victorian Tin I just had to have that one.
Check out was easy, I chose 3 days from the order date to have it shipped.  It costs more to ship the next day, and on weekends.  I'm fine with a few days.  To me that is fast! Shipping is usually around $15.00, but keep into consideration, you are picking when you want it shipped (shipping prices vary.) Mine were mailed fast and I didn't pay the extra for rush.

 It also comes with a care instruction card.  First was to take the packing moss out, and give the plant some water.  I sat mine on the counter where it would get some direct light.

Seriously, start to browse, and I am sure there are a few you'd want for your home, and to give as gifts.  It was actually my cousin Liz's birthday this month.  Since I didn't get myself the Orchid, I bought Liz the Teacup Orchid with Chocolates.  That's how beautiful I think these gifts really are.  It was delivered to her in Baltimore, Md the day before her birthday (I chose that day!)

When I bought my cousin her birthday gift, I found some coupon codes right on the website to use for RedEnvelope Coupons.  Or try google searches, even searches on RetailMeNot.com.  I signed up for the emails, and I get % off codes that way too.

Disclaimer.  I received the Potted Yellow Roses for free from RedEnvelope to review.  All opinions are my own.  My personal experience with this company is a great one.  When it is something I really do like, I will buy from later on, and share with family, and friends.  To me, that is what life is about.  My roses made me happy, and the orchids I sent my cousin made her happy, and cry because I'm in Ohio, and shes in Maryland.  We miss eachother, but I know she loves plants too.

Grapes were used more than 6,000 years ago in beauty, Check out my review for Merlot Skin Care Red Grape Products.

I received these products for free to review for my website.  This is my first time trying Dr. Grapes aka Wayne Beckleys "Father Of Grape Seed Technology." 

I don't think I ever stopped to smell a red grape, let alone bought lotion that's main ingredients were grapes.  The first thing I noticed was the scent, the scent is not sweet at all.  It's just a light, refreshing smell.  The Body Butter is my favorite.  It was thick, and made my legs feel so smooth.  

The reason why my legs felt so smooth was because grape seed antioxidants are 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and nearly 25 times more powerful than Vitamin C.

Wearing the Merlot Divine Perfume made me feel like an Egyptian Goddess.  Ever wonder why Egyptians and Greeks skin looked so good? They ate a lot of grapes,  and also used grape seed oil's for everything. Cooking, to bathing, even to herbal remedies.  They used grapes because it was kind to the skin, and wasn't overpowering.  

I like to use the Body Wash after working out. And, then I use the skin firmer.  I have lost a lot of weight lately, and I am always trying to keep my skin full of vitamins from every form available.  

Both the Lip Gloss (tastes like berries, very delicious,) and the Lip Moisturizer are in my purse.  Love how soft, and shiny they both make my lips.  The Berry Paradise Lip Gloss is pretty tasty.  

These are all the items I received, and loved.

• Merlot Divine Perfume
• Lip Moisturizer 
• Berry Paradise Lip Gloss
• Body Butter
• Bath Shower Gel
• Body Firming Lotion

Right now til 4/15/13 Merlot Skincare has a Buy One Get One 50% Off Sale.  You can even get the gifts specially wrapped for mothers day. Gift Wrapping is FREE.  I know this is naughty to say.. but right now you could buy Mom one, and keep the half off one for yourself.  Hahaha.  Love you Mom, but you know I love the deals almost more than you. If your mom is anything like mine (sinus problems, and does not like overly perfume things.) This would be perfect for her.

Begin Again Toys For The Hero Review

Everyone that has a toddler knows that the calm sometimes is far, and few these days.  I am always on the look out for playful toys that my 2 year old will enjoy.  Especially bath time Toys.  Bath time is my 2nd favorite, next to Bed Time of course.  But Bath time I can just sit & talk to Sy while he plays in the water.  He likes to float, and kick his feet like he is swimming.  He loves bath time, therefor I love that he loves bath time.  He's actually one of those kids that cries when it's time to get out the water.  He's just like his Mama, a water creature at heart.  I grew up around the water. I was always swimming at the beach, and playing in the marsh.  So it's really nice to see how much he loves playing in water too.  

The bath toy he is reviewing  is by Begin Again Toys.  It's a bath time ball filled with Toys For A Hero.  The toys are made from heavy duty rubber.  They are Dish Washer, and Pool Safe.  The Rubber is flexible, and does not break when you bend it.  He's actually chewed on these because he likes the sound the rubber makes when they squeak.  He bites hard too, and his biting doesn't even leave a mark on these toys.  I really love that about Begin Again.  The toys are high quality, and for the imagination.  

Sy loves the little red diver.  He gets carried outside the bathroom, and lays around with him until bedtime.   The Octopus, and Sharks are equally as cute tho.  The whole set is different, and unique.  I am a sucker for bath time toys, crayons, and paints for the tub.  When he is done with the bath tub Ball, I just hang it from the tubs faucet, and there is nothing for the water to stay inside like some toys get nasty because it's hard for water to drain off it.  This doesn't have that problem.

You can find Begin Again Toys on Amazon, and At Whole Foods.  There are even wooden puzzles, yoyo's, art kits.  You should really check them out on Amazon.  There are some great sales right now with free super saving shipping.  I know some people don't live close to a Whole Foods, so this is great you can still find them online too.

To find out more about Begin Again, check them out on their website, and social media outlets below.  If you have any questions, just ask them! They are a great company.

The Gorton's Fisherman Skillet Crisp Tilapia Garlic & Herb 190 calorie Review and GIVEAWAY!!

Do you trust the Gortons Fisherman?  I've always been a fan, but even better now since they have 20 products that are less than 200 calories. 

Gortons has new fish meals that are under 200 calories a serving!! I am trying the Skillet Crisp Tilapia Garlic & Herb.  Instead of pan frying it,  I sprayed a little zero calories butter spray on each side while baking in the oven on parchment paper.  The directions are to cook while frozen.  In the oven you bake at 425, flip at 12 mins, and bake 12 more minutes.  As you can see it turned out picture perfect.  Usually food never looks like it's image on the box, but I think Gortons looks identical.  They came out Crunchy on the outside, and the insides were white, and moist tilapia.  I loved it.  I am eating mine right now for lunch.  Since I'm eating it with a salad, and 0 calorie salad dressing I splurged and am eating two of the 190 calorie fish.  380 calories for a meal that is filling is well worth it.   I'm impressed with this fish.  I received these items for free! One lucky reader will also win a prize pack by entering via rafflecopter below! Sorry, U.S. Only.
