NuNAAT Chocolat Special Review & Giveaway

When you think of Chocolat Special, What do you think of? Almost for a week now I've been endulging in Chocolat, but it's not what you think. No, it's not unwanted calories, I don't have to spend that extra 1 hr 20 mins on the elliptical. I've been washing my hair with Chocolat Special by NuNAAT.

This was my first time using a shampoo thats active ingrediants are Cocoa Butter, and Brazil Nuts. My hairs almost to my waist, so it takes alot of shampoo to wash it, and I do baby it. Every time I get more than 10+ inches, I donate it to locks of love. Hair care really is a must for me. The hair I donate I want it to be healthy, and beautiful.

The Chocolat Special Collection I received for free from NuNAAT was Shampoo, Conditioner, Cream Chocolate Mask, and ANTIFrizz Therma Active Chocolate. Although I enjoyed the Shampoo, and Conditionor, I wish they were more than 8.4 oz containers. The bottles just felt so tiny to me. The product itself is great, it just takes alot in my hair to lather. It's not the product, but its my hair itself. "It's not you, it's me." The Cream Chocolate mask I've only used once, It's extremely thick, you could possibly skip the regular conditinor step, and go straight for the Chocolate Mask. My hair isn't dried out, because I never dye it, but I did want to try it to give my hair a deep conditionor for 20 mins. Also it's a 17.6 oz tub of it, I've added it to my monthly rountine for extra hydration. Now what I did love more than anything, was the AntiFrizz Therma Active Chocolate leave in cream, 5.2 oz. The cream is thick, and works best for my type of hair. I also have a great Ionic Blow Dryer brush that with this, and that combined, My hair looks salon quality. I've been using the AntiFrizz cream daily.

For all heat activated creams I use a special Ionic Blow Dryer brush. It really does make the experience better. You can also use the Heat Activated Cream with a flat iron. So, that's a nice option too.

I even caught my husband using the Chocolat Special shampoo. Sometimes he feels left out when I am reviewing things, so he tries the products too. (Look Falcon, I mentioned you! Woo!) He would make me sniff his hair afterwards each time. I always tell him.. yeah, I can smell that you've been using my shampoo. Love, love, love that Cocoa Butter scent.

ReUseIt, BlueAvocado Big Chill Large Insulated Reusable Shopping Tote Bag

ReUse It, Huh? ReUse What?

ReUse your bags! That's what. ReUseIt.com's reusable grocery bags are some of the best quality bags I've seen. I received the bag in exchange to do a review. It did not change my opinion on the bag. The one I have is the BlueAvocado Big Chill Large Insulated Reusable Shopping Tote Bag. The wild flower is super cute on it, and the bag itself doesn't even look like a reuseable bag. It looks like an expensive purse, or tote bag. It's insulated, zips up, and has two padded hand straps that are big enough to hang from your shoulder. I liked the option of the shoulder straps because I can have my hands free as I carry groceries in. Really my hands are never free. The baby is in them. I can dream of hands free someday.

The bag itself fits ALOT, I tested it out by going to a Membership Only Starts With S, Club. I bought icecream, strawberries, blueberries, box of veggie burgers, provolone cheese, crab salad, and apples. That store sells nothing but bulk packs of everything. I didn't have to use one of their empty package boxes at check out, e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g I purchased fit into my ReUseIt bag.

Even the cashier complimented me thats one of the nicest bags he's seen. It made me smile. I used to work retail, and I know how sometimes people mean well with their reusabe bags, but some are just awkward, and nothing ever fits right in them. Some don't even have flat bottoms, and all you could fit in them were maybe 2-3 items. Then leaves the customers still wanting plastic bags.

There are stores that reward you for using your own bags, Target gives you .05 cent off for bringing in your own bag. While, CVS has a bag tag program that you purchase a little leaf keychain, and everytime you bring in your bag and make a purchse the cashier will scan the tag. After so many purchases you get a $1.00 off. If you use coupons, and already love to shop at those two stores, after awhile a great ReUsable bag will pay for itself back, and then some. If you are going to splurge on the bag, make it an insulated tote too. I had to stop and pick the baby up some diapers, and a new bottle at a different store, and then drove 20 mins back home. Everything was still frozen. Even the fruit was cold from being in the same bag as the frozen items. It's been 100+ degrees here lately in Ohio. I miss my cool 60's.. Anyways. My ReUseIt, is one of the best bags, ever.

*Review by To Sew With Love

I received three books from WhatToExpect and I honestly wish I found this treasure when I was pregnant and/or when the kids were small. Each book covered an extensive amount of area and practically has the answer to any question or doubt an expecting mom or a mom could have!

The What to Expect When You're Expecting Pregnancy book is a best seller and it did not come to me as a surprise. This book is like an encyclopedia, a pregnancy bible! It practically has everything you need to know in your pregnancy!
This book also includes:

• an expanded chapter on pre-conception
• a detailed weekly fetal development in each of the monthly sections
• loads of information about pregnancy's emotional ups and downs and how to survive it

What to Expect The First Year book is America's best-selling guide to baby caring. It covers almost every question a new mother could have regarding care for her baby: colic, teething, weaning, sibling matters, feeding, sippy cups - name it and this book has it! 

It also includes:

• information on your child's monthly growth and development
• feeding and sleeping strategies
• up-to-date medical and practical tips

 Kids grow up so fast! Before you know it, you already have a wonderful toddler! You will be amazed at how much independence they will be showing you! Understanding your toddler in this stage of her growth and development is just as important as the first years.

Bumble Bar Organic Sesame Bars

Gluten Free Bumble Bars,

I'm a bit eccentric when it comes to my taste of health bars. I like a vast variety of things, tastes, and textures. The more different they are than the main stream full of sugar brands, the better.

Bumble Bars are Gluten Free, Organic, Natural Sesame Bars. I, personally LOVE sesame seeds. The bars I tried were Junior Size.

Organic Sesame Bar, Original Peanut
Organic Sesame Bar, Chocolate Crisp
Organic Sesame Bar, Amazing Almond

My son is 18 months, and I tell him Bumble Bars are his "candy bars." He also believes Graham crackers are "cookies." Shhh, Don't you dare tell him other wise. Both of our favorite, of course, were the Chocolate Crisp. I seriously did not want to share with him. It's like a sesame nut chocolate rice crispy treat. Thats my best way to explain the taste, and texture. Original Peanut, and Amazing Almond were both wonderful too, but Chocolate Crisp, hands down, the best I've tried. The new flavors I want to try are, Chocolate Mint, and Chocolate Peanut Butter. I really need to try the variety packs. There are even Sesame Seed Fruit Bars.

The bars are beautifully made, the ones I tried were almost all sesame with either peanuts, or almonds. The processing agents are Sunflowers & Safflower Oil. I post about Safflower oil all the time, I mostly use Safflower Oil in everything I make too. Other ingrediants you may know off hand that's in the product are Flax Seed Oil, and Vitamin E.


Check Out The Bumble Bar Mad Scientist; Part 1. It'll give you more details on Bumble Bar, and What other bars really put inside their bars.

I'm not saying this will help your health, but with a great diet, exercise, and organic healthy alternatives like this, It really is a start.


You can find Bumble Bars on Facebook, and Twitter.

Disclaimer: I received product in exchange to do a review. They didn't ask me, or tell me what to say. I'm 100% honest with my reviews, and I always test the product enough to give it a fair opinion.
