Harvey Prince Eau Flirt 100ML Review & Giveaway


Right now I am wearing Flirt on one wrist, and Ageless on the other.  Does that make me an Ageless Flirt? I love this perfume line.  The history of this perfume is a little different than just Oh, Someone wanted their own perfume line.  Nope, Harvey Prince came to life by two brothers who wanted to make a pure, inspired fragrance that their mom could wear.  Anybodies mom could wear.  Harvey Prince is family oriented. 100% Eco-Friendly, and High Quality ingredients. 

I'm somewhat a fragrance snob, I can't  stand strong, overly  musk "Mom Scents", we all know the kind.  Think back to that last smell you caught a whiff of some ones strong perfume as you were just walking through the store.  Even worse.. you are stuck behind them in line.  I never want to be that person.  I want a scent that is light, and makes me feel young.  I like to be playful, therefor my scent should be playful too.

Eau Flirt, Consists of Lavender, Pumpkin Pie, Citrus, Jasmine, Freesia, Ylang Ylang, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Amber, when combined, turns you into a Wicked Sparkling Seductress.  Flirt smells wonderful on my skin.  I've never been a person that bought something because it smelled good on another person.  I am that person that will wear it, test it on their own skin.  Some scents smell different, on different people. On my skin, once my skin reacts to it, I can smell the Freesia, Amber and Citrus more.

The spray on the 3.4 FL Oz for the Eau Flirt more so Mists you, than just spritz  I love that about it,  It only takes a few mists til I believed I smelled unstoppable.  

I also received a few samples of  Ageless, Hello and Yogini.  

The roll on Ageless is terrific, and so easy to use, this went straight into my purse.  Ageless consists of Pink Grapefruit, Pomegranate, Mango, Jasmine, Tuberose, Ylang Ylang, Sandal Wood.  At first smell I could really experience the Jasmine & Sandal Wood.  Once it's been on my skin, that's when I smell the Mango, and Grapefruit.



I love to wear the Ageless with Eau Flirt.  Combined I am an Unstoppable Immortal Goddess. 

Hello, and Yogini I received were the smaller sized spray samples, Both I enjoyed as well. 

Hello consists of,  Meyer Lemon, White Grapefruit, Satsuma Mandarin, Summer Forsythia, Pink Plumeria, Wild Verbena, Tahitian vanilla, Sensual Musk. What I loved about hello, was its Crisp, Freshness.  I loved the Citrus Aromas it possesses.  

Yogini consists of, Sandalwood, Golden amber, Sensual Incense, Egytian myrrh, Pink Grapefruit, Blackcurrant Buds, Lily of the valley, Star Jasmine, Rose Petals, Ylang, Ylang, Cardamom, Madagascar Vanilla.  



I'm really starting to favor the Yogini too,  The more I smell it on me, the more I really enjoy what scents I am experiencing when my skin heats up, and reacts to it.  I can smell the Lily Of The Valley, and Myrrh the most on me.

My overall impression of Harvey Prince is, this is a company that cares deeply about their senses, and scents.  They also strive for others to experience high quality ingredients that makes others feel great about ones self.  It's not just about throwing things together, but more so about that connection between the person wearing it.

Thank you Harvey Prince for making something so delicious for the senses, and real perfume for real women. "Feel Good, feel young, feel happy."


Also, Thank Harvey Prince on Facebook, & Twitter, about this GIVEAWAY!!! Yes!!!!!!! A Giveaway!!!!!! Three lucky followers will receive the same 100ml Eau Flirt Spritz (Est. Retail value $99.00) I received too! It really does not get any better than this.

TRUE Lemon Review & Giveaway


My family, and I have been eating healthier, and really don't want to waste calories on things that we drink, or spices/seasonings we add to our meals.  True Citrus is 100% Natural.  I enjoy all the flavors, it can be used for individual drinks,  or add to a bigger mixture, even the true lemon, and lime can be added when cooking, or baking.  

I can't drink the same exact thing everyday, or I get extremely bored, and will start to crave other drinks.  Those other drinks are full of sugar, and unwanted calories.  True Lemon helps me not want anything else since I can easily change up what I am drinking.

The baby, and I loved the raspberry lemonade, and the grapefruit.  It was easy to use, and delicious.  



The TRUE Grapefruit comes in individual packets that are easy to add to whatever you are making, say iced tea, or to make your own TRUEaid (like Koolaid), add fresh juice, and some extra Grapefruit kick to it for some Vitamin C.



I also steamed broccoli, and added the True Lemon Cooking Seasoning.  All I did was sprinkle the Lemon on, sprayed a little bit of 0 calorie butter spray, and used my rice cooker/steamer.  This also comes in Lime for cooking/baking, Next  time I buy Avocados I am going to try the Lime with them.

Really, whatever you eat now, instead of how some people add ketchup, or mustard, bbq sauce to everything they eat, maybe true True Lemon instead. 

There is Grapefruit, Orange, Lemon, Lime, Raspberry Lemonade, Original Lemonade. 

I love True Lemon, and I think it's a great way to activate the taste buds while enjoying everyday tasks we already do.  People always say they don't eat healthy because the food tastes too plain.  Well, Try adding seasoning to the food that isn't horrible, or more calories than the meal itself.  Most wasted calories are consumed in drinks, and "toppings" for meals.

If you are bored with just regular chicken, Try Lime Chicken, with some cilantro, over rice.  

You can find great recipes on True Lemons website, and learn how to Live TRUE.  

I am excited that I get to do a Giveaway to one lucky follower for The Same TrueLemon Box I received, This box is by far one of my favorite things I've reviewed.  



To Enter you just have to Follow the Entries On RaffleCopter,  Giveaway begins August 28, 2012, & Ends September 12, 2012. U.S. Only! If you can't use RaffleCopter, Just drop me a comment below, and I can manually add you in, Or you can email me.  Winner will be chosen at random, and will have 7 Days To Email me back ( Make Sure You Use A VALID Email When Entering!! )

YumEarth Organics Lollipops, Review & Giveaway



Yummy Earth Organic Lollipops are my new favorites.  I am completely amazed at how much flavor these have for being made with real fruit extracts, and no artificial colors.  There is also 100% Vitamin C daily value in each serving.  The concept of Yum Earth is just fantastic,  Created for Lollipop Candy fans, and by Dads.  Everything YumEarth makes is certified organic, or all natural, gluten-free, peanut-free, tree-nut free, and has no chemical colors, no artificial flavors, or no high fructose corn syrup.  Really, all of that is a bonus, because the Lollipops flavors are just so great they literally make your mouth water.  My taste buds were in over drive.  

My all time favorite flavor out of the Family Size Assorted Bag (40+ Lollies) were the Mango Tangos.  I may, or may not have shared a lot of those.. M I N E.. My 2nd favorite were the Very Very Cherry.  I've always loved sweet things, like jolly ranchers,  charms lollipops, nerds, etc,  and, in all honesty,  YumEarths Lollies has them all beat.

Arctic Zero Ice Cream, 150 Calorie Pints, Best Find EVER

Arctic Zero Review & Giveaway,



All I can really say about this ice cream is.. I LOVE THIS ICE CREAM.  I'm not sorry about the CAPS. Seriously, I absolutely love this ice cream, and it's really low calorie.

The brand is called Arctic Zero, I received a shipping cooler full for free ( 8 pints, and 2 boxes of bars.)  I was in ice cream heaven.  First off, I want to let you know when it says Arctic Zero... It really is arctic, as in It is so cold! I didn't know what to expect when I opened the cooler it was delivered in.  You know when its really hot out, and you open the freezer to get something? And, the coldness pours out, and hits you in the face.  That's what it was like.  I imagined I was in the arctic, ice pick in hand.. finding the most greatest discovery ever.

(My husband had fun playing with the dry ice thats at the bottom of the cooler)


As far as calories, each pint was only 150 calories.  Honest to Bob! Just 150 calories.  I am still in shock about that.  I loved all 8 flavors of the pints.

Here are my favorites in order:  Vanilla Maple,  Coffee,  Pumpkin Spice,  Mint Choco Cookie, Strawberry, Chocolate, Chocolate Peanut butter, and Cookies & Cream.


You can make Floats!! (Imagine Cream Soda, W/Vanilla Maple) or even just eat it straight from the pint.  I always have graham crackers around, so I made little ice cream sandwiches too.  Shakes,  Smoothies, Whatever tickles your sweet tooth pickle.



As for the boxes of bars, Those are only 85 calories.  I really enjoyed them.  They are chocolate coated, and my favorite was the orange icecream w/the chocolate.  For bars, theres orange, strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla.



What I love most about this product was I did not feel guilty for enjoying a snack.  It made me realize I can eat something others might consider a "reward."

This product, I actually went back out, and bought more of the Vanilla Maple, Coffee, and Pumpkin Spice.  My local Krogers carries the Pints, but not the bars. It's about $4-5.00 for the pints, which it is well worth being able to eat desert without feeling like a total fatty.  I loved it.  Every night I would portion my dinner, and add in the extra 150 calories so I can have ice cream.  Beats, wasting 500 calories on a bowl of something else.

If you are an avid Amazon shopper,  You can get free super saving shipping on Arctic Ice products, I'm always saving up Amazon Gift cards I've earned from various things I'm part of.  There is a store locator on Arctics Website too if you're interest in finding some in your area.

Overall Experience:   Greatest find, ever. My new favorite Ice cream go to snack.  I highly recommend the Vanilla Maple, Coffee & Pumpkin Spice.

Now it's giveaway time!! I am so happy to have been able to review Arctic Zero, and one lucky follower gets a shipping cooler full delivered to them from Arctic Zero too!! I'm also celebrating my Facebook 2,000 Likes!! What's better than a cooler full of ice cream!?!

An Abundance of Thanks To MyArcticZero.com!

Sprout Robot Tells You When, And What To Plant In Your Garden!!

I came across SproutRobot.com, and instantly signed up.   I signed up because I love nature.  I also believe more people should give back to it, and grow something beautiful.

Why not grow something beautiful that you can eat?



This site makes it easier by putting all the guess work, and research into what Climate Zones can grow what, and when.  You just have to search by Zipcode, and it even emails you to remind you to plant.  I forget things lately, sooo that reminder is something I will enjoy.


This week I could be planting, collard greens, daikon radish, kohirabi, head lettuce, kalte, carrots, parsnips, turnips, rutabega, radishes, leaf lettuce, argula, spinach, mustard greens, beets, and transplant broccoli outdoors.

It even tells me what to start indoors as far as seedlings,

Week Of December 31, Start cabbage indoors.

Week Of January 21, Start leeks indoors.

This is SO cool, and I am getting ahead of myself.

Balmers Monkey Balm Review Not Just For Babies

Balmers Monkey Balm Review and Giveaway!!! by Angel *GreenVics* & Baby Sy;


This balm is a triple threat, It's an organic supersized vitamin bar for the whole body, It also works great, and for more than just one thing at a low price.  I have been using it on the eczema the baby gets on his cheeks.  He doesn't like when I use the tube straight on him, so I rub it on my hands first, and then gently on his face.  

Only a little bit of the stick is gone, but I've been using it over a month now. I didn't just use it on the baby,
I also used some when my feet had sunburn, and it helped w/the flaking.  A little bit goes a long way.
Then my 20month old had his first heat rash around his chubby little legs, I used the Monkey balm again, and it went away the next day.  This was when Ohio had those freakishly 100+ humid days, He's my winter baby, and he's not used to heat.  

Balmers, MonkeyBalm.com "This formula includes all-natural ingredients and features the amazing healing power of the sea buckthorn berry. Sea Buckthorn (seed and fruit) oil is time-tested and clinically proven to soothe irritation and heal dry, cracked, even abrasive skin resulting from eczema, rosacea, dry climates, seasonal changes, sunburn, rashes, and even minor burns and wounds. Sea buckthorn has been used for centuries in Asia and Europe to heal skin problems and is considered a "Holy Fruit" by ancient and modern Tibetans. "  


Verdict:  I absolutely love this stuff. It's safe for the whole family.  I am someone that wont use chapstick, but I do carry a tube of Vitamin E in my purse.  This has been my goto tube for the baby, easy to throw in the diaper bag too.

(His little face is perfect!!!)

I would recommend Balmers Monkey Balm to every new parent, well, and to any parent for that matter.  From skin type, to even elements in the weather,  a tube of this would be a great investment in skin care. 

Another great thing about Monkeybalm.com, is the 100% money back guarantee.  Not alot of companies offer that anymore.  Or, buy 2, get free shipping,  2 tubes would probably last us years,  seriously, just a little bit, is so thick, and condensed I had to smooth it out in my hands first, then I rubbed onto the babies face.   I received this stick for free, I was not asked how to use it, or told what to write.  It worked great on Sy's sensitive skin. I used it on myself, and on the baby,  It being all natural, and no harsh chemicals like some baby lotion/balms out there made me feel better about using it, and giving it a review.  

24 HOUR FLASH GIVEAWAY: I am trying something new,  To enter the giveaway you just have to leave a comment saying You want to be entered! It's a 24Hr Flash Giveaway!!! Starts 8/22/2012, 4PM, Ends 8/23/2012, 4PM EST.
