Hair care is very important to me.  Not only do I like when my hair is smooth, and shiny but also when its hydrated.  I've been washing my hair with HBL Hydrating System the last few weeks  The shampoo, and conditioner, and hair masque all have a clean smell.  The shampoo lathers nicely.  The conditioner also had a nice thick consistency to it.  The hair masque was just perfect,  What I enjoyed most about the masque, was the thickness, and convenience of the little comb into to use while in the shower.  What makes this system even better is that it is paraben, sulfate, gluten, and allergn free.

Happy Valentines Day! Hope its full of Glee!

Glee Gum is not just all natural gum, but they also have Do It Yourself Candy Kits.  I loved the Sea Weed Gummies (You can read my review here.) And, now I just tried the Make Your Own Chocolate Kit

The Chocolate can either be doubled boiled, or microwaved.  I microwaved mine in a glass pyrex bowl.  I have a two year old, I  really don't have time, well mostly the patience to clean and use the double boiler.  Plus the only double boiler I have, I use for making soap.  

Making the chocolate in the microwave is as easy as melting down a pack of organic cocoa butter. I then added the cocoa powder, and sugar to the melted butter.  I also added a little bit of Vanilla to take away from the dark chocolates bitterness.  Once that was mixed, I checked the temp of the chocolate with the indicator stick before I added the starter crystals, stirred again before scooping into the candy wrappers.

I added blueberries in the middle of my dark chocolate treats, and put Walnuts on top too. Really you can add whatever you want. I think next time I want to add a little bit of oat meal, and some sugared coconut. The blueberries, and walnut are more for my husband. Tho Sy, and I loved the dark chocolate too!

See how easy the directions are? It really is an easy, delicious treat. There is even a side of the box that is educational about how Aztec Legend says Quetzalcoatl brought the cocoa tree from paradise to earth. ;

Glee added a few whole cocoa beans, I don't think I have ever had a whole cocoa bean.  So that was pretty cool! The texture reminded me of a coffee bean.

You can check Glee Gum out online, or give the Glee Guy some love on facebook, and twitter.  They really are a great company with all natural treats (If you've never tried their candy kits, or gum.. You really should! they make all flavors imaginable in the gum, even with sugar free.)

StarLooks January 2013 Monthly Subscription Box Review

Review by Life According To GreenVics

"Wake up, Grab a brush and put on a little make up."

January's Starbox is one of my favorites.  What a better way to start the new year with a beautiful metallic green "fancy" diamond line pencil, brown liner, Abby Rose bracelet, and "cuty peach" blush.  I've been vying to try a Starlooks brush, and this month had a 858 - Soft Small Dome Fluff Brush. Green is my favorite color so I am loving the metallic like fancy eye pencil, and the bracelet.  

If you don't know what Starlooks is, it's a monthly subscription box that retails for $15.00, but has over 3-4 full size items that are worth x4 what the monthly cost is for subscribing.  

I'm always on the prowl for great make up.  I'm not one to follow trends, or what's the best high-end product out there.  I just like to try different things, and monthly boxes like Starlooks makes it easy for people like myself, that would never try certain colors, and products.   I just recently started wearing make up in my 30's, and I'm starting to enjoy it more.  I always tell people being a mommy blog is not a dirty word,  we like make-up too, and want to feel beautiful.   I really believe if you are in a slump, and just don't feel like even going out, sometimes just sitting at home and trying different make-up helps to feel better.   It made me feel better today.

Shari's Berries Cheese Cake Trio With The Half Dozen Strawberries Review

Disclaimer: I received Product for Free to Facilitate a review. All Opinions are my own.

Shari's Berries has a huge variety of different sweet treats, I tried the cheese cake trio with the half dozen swizzled strawberries.  Let me just tell you that it was extremely easy to order.  As soon as I ordered I received two confirmation emails in my mailbox.  

The strawberries, and cheesecakes boxes were just as beautiful as the sweet treats inside. They are sent over night with ice packs to make sure they are fresh.

The strawberries were huge, and sweet.

Really wish I had bought the full dozen! 

The cheesecake trios come in 3" varieties of Rocky Road, NY Style, and White Chocolate.  I am a huge fan of cheese cake so this was an absolute treat for me.  I cut each in squares, and ate them through out the week.  

Even my little man was excited for the huge berries cooler with the treats inside.  Shari's Berries isn't just berries, they have all kinds of gourmet treats.  

My experience was a positive one.  My order came fast, and shipping was reasonable for being delivered when I wanted it.  Also if you are going to order, there are always special promotions.  Try RetailMeNot, and do a search for Shari's Berries.  You can order now and still receive by Valentines!  

I received a gift card in exchange for my honest, open, opinion.  Pictures, and opinion are my own. 

Sjaaks Organic Chocolate Review.

Sjaaks Organic Chocolate is a company that I am such a fan of now. I recently sampled the Chocolate Nuts & Chews Assortment, Eli's Earth bars, and the Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites. My whole family enjoyed every single item. The chocolate melts in your mouth, and knowing that it's made from Organic Fair Trade Chocolate, and Vegan made me not feel bad allowing my Toddler a splurge here, and there. My favorite were the Chews, then the Coconut & Almond Candy bar. My 2 year olds favorite were the Vegan Peanut Butter Bite sized Cups.

Sjaaks Chocolate Nuts & Chews Assortment is made with Gourmet Organic Chocolate. Not only is it a cute 9 chew assortment, it's also very delicious. This would be a great any time, just because gift to someone. Retails for $9.95,  they also sell different assortments like mint, and truffles. Check Sjaaks out.

Eli's Earth bars are extremely delicious. The thing I noticed, and liked the most about these bars were they are not overly sugary. They are just the right amount of sweetness. Also, the bars are certified organic, and 5% goes to charity. Delicious, and giving! Now that's sweet. Retails for $2.29/bar.

Sjaaks has candy for everyday, holidays, or even to buy in bulk for corporate events. I am a fan of variety, and they have that, along with good, organic chocolate. I think we all deserve a treat now, and again.

Don't forget to check Sjaaks out on their website, & facebook.

I received these products for to sample for review.  My opinions are my own, and may defer from yours.
