Herbal Essences Naked Collection Review! Grapefuit & Mint, Zero Heavy Residues, Dyes, and Parabens.

I may have a  teeny, tiny obsession with Herbal Essences.  So when I was giving the opportunity to review the new Herbal Essences Naked Collection to facilitate a review, and Giveaway (Congratulations Gayle!!) I squealed at the chance, and couldn't respond fast enough to the email.

First I had to do a video on ordering the Herbal Essences Naked Collection online from Walmart.com.  It was as simple as searching The Naked Collection, in the top search bar on Walmart.com, and clicking the Box Set to purchase.  I opted to purchase the collection, and have it sent to my local Walmart for FREE in store pick up.  Since that was all I was purchasing, and Shipping would have been free for a cart full of more than $25.00 I thought the in-store pick up was more money savvy.. Go here to see that Video on How to Order the Herbal Essences Naked Collection from Walmart here.

Second, comes the fun part after having the Naked Collection in home, The actual review for it.

Say hello, to The Naked Collection by Herbal Essences with Grape Fruit, and Mint.

For reviewing this, First I didn't wash my hair for a few days.  I'm a proud mommy of a 3 year old, and I also don't believe in washing my hair everyday anyways for it's natural oils. Instead of washing my hair, I woke up, and used the Naked Collection Dry Shampoo.

HERBAL ESSENCES HAS DRY SHAMPOO NOW!! Sorry for CAPSING you, but Yay, I got this excited to when I saw they brought back the Pink Rose Herbal Essences Collection too.

If you've never tried a Dry Shampoo, seriously, try this one.  It's affordable, and it does the work.  It goes on like a powder dry spray.  It's not visible, but just helps get the grease shine out when brushed through. Dry shampoo is great if you are traveling, camping, or just got out the gym and didn't have time to shower.

The Shampoo lathered up well, and was easy to wash out.

The Conditioner was easy to smooth through out my hair.  And, to rinse out.

Once out, I used a little of the Naked Volumizing Souffle, and dried my hair.

The scent of the Naked Collection isn't strong, I am a hair sniffer.  When smelling my hair, I can smell the Mint, but it isn't over powering.  I think it smells good! Also love how Shiny, and dark my hair looks from the Volumizing Souffle.

Overall Impression of the New Herbal Essences Naked Collection:  Well worth the $12.99 for the Boxed Set! The scent is light, and clean from the Grapefruit & Mint.  The Shampoo & Conditioner have zero heavy residues, dyes and parabens.

If you are interested in finding out more, you can find the Herbal Essences Naked Collection on Walmart.com to purchase.

#Tinsel & #Sheer #Lustre #Glitter @SinfulColors_NP Nail Polish Collection Exclusively available at @Walgrens

I received these beautiful SINFUL Colors Professionals Nail Polishes to facilitate a review for.  All opinions are photos are my own.

These Sinful colors are exclusively available at Walgreens.  If you are looking for affordable nail polish, these are only $1.99.  Sometimes even cheaper if you are a Savvy Walgreens Shopper!

The colors are beautiful! I have Top Me Off, 24 Karat, Silver Rainbows,  and Spiked Ice (In order of above photos.)

Personally I like to use a pretty Metallic color as a base coat.  Check out Sinful Colors Shimmer Mirror Metallic collection.

First base coat, I do a light first coat, let dry, then do another coat of my favorite silver metallic polish.

Once that dried, I used the Silver Rainbow Sinful Colors polish as a Top Coat,

The colors are beautiful, it really depends on how much Glitter you want.  It does dry fast.

DIY with Dell Laptop Replacement Parts.

I am a huge fan of fixing things myself.

Apple Bread using Rice Flour.

Preheat Oven to 350F,

3 Granny Smith apples
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons lemon juice

How to make the Bread:

2 1/2 cups Rice flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons coconut oil

First take the apples, peel and core them.  Cut into thin slices.  Add Sugar, Cinnamon, and Lemon Juice. Bake in a glass dish for 15mins.

While the Apples bake,
Start your bread.  If you are wheat free, check out Rice Flour.

Mix the Rice Flour, Sugar ( I like mine sweet, so I use a full cup of sugar. Use Stevia, or whatever else you like to substitute.) Instant Year, salt, warm water, and I like to melt coconut oil, and mix into the bread mix.

Kneed into a ball, and work it into a thin sheet onto parchment paper.

I use parchment paper that way it's easy to bake.

Take your apple filling that should be cooling off by now, and add to the center of your flattened bread.  Fold the sides over.  And cut slices onto the top.  It doesn't have to be perfect, just slice where ever!

Bake on 350 for 20 minutes.

Mix melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar.  And rub on top the baked bread.

Put back in the oven to brown some more.

Bake for another 5 minutes.

Easy Gluten Free Meal, Spaghetti Squash!

Today my hubby made an Easy Spaghetti Squash Recipe for dinner,

Preheat Oven to 375 F, 

Preparing the Squash is as easy as cutting the Squash in half (It looks like an oversized Squash) Cut the tips first, then cut it in half using the rock back and forth method.  It also cooks quicker this time then whole.

You take the seeds, and pulp out.  You can also bake the seeds, and eat those if you want.  We didn't this time.

Before baking, add a little salt, garlic, pepper, and coconut oil, the flip it so it's Rind Side up to bake.

Bake for 35 minutes. 

When done baking, just take a fork, and scrap the insides out in a down ward movement.  It comes out looking like Spaghetti.

Other ways to cook:

Bake rind side up about 30 to 40 minutes at 375 F.
Microwave 6 to 8 minutes (let stand for a few minutes afterwards)
Boil 20 minutes or so.

Add whatever toppings,  We did a tomato, Tuscan veggy mix ontop.

Try it! Even just the Spaghetti Squash with salt, pepper, and butter tastes delicious on its own.

Airborne Blast of Vitamin C Review!

I received product through Smiley360 to facilitate a review for Airborne.  All opinions, and images are my own!

I am a huge fan of taking vitamins.  Especially this time of the year.  My new favorite vitamins are Airbornes Chewable Tablets.  Not only do they dissolve and remind me a lot like a cherry sweet tart.  They also are full of Vitamin C, and other crucial vitamins I believe the body needs.  Especially this time of the year.  We were -35 windchill the other day!!! Vitamins are a must right now for being cooped up inside.  I truly believe everyone should take their vitamins, and that everyday food amounts we consume does not have enough daily vitamins that we need. (this is what I believe, and why we should take vitamins ontop of our meals.)

My little one enjoyed the Airborne Kids Gummies.  I didn't have to tell him to eat them.  They taste delicious.

If chewable tablets, and vitamin gummies aren't something you like.  There are also the Airborne tablets that you can put into water, or your favorite juice, it fizzes and makes a great treat as well. There are many other ways to help, and try to do this.  Like Diet, Exercise, ontop of taking vitamins.  Everything helps.

Love Gum?? Ready to #KickAspartame in the New Year? Check out PÜR Gum.

Recently I received packs of Pur Gum for free to review. 

What makes this Gum the #1 Selling Aspartame-Free Gum in North America is the fact that the PÜR Gum is vegan, gluten-free, non-gmo, nut-free, diabetic friendly and dairy free.

Since it is Aspartame free, there are NO nasty chemicals in it to sweeten it up.  It is naturally flavored, and sweetened.  

The flavors I tried, were Winter Green, Pomegranate Mint, Spearmint, and Peppermint.  I am a huge fan of Mint, so I enjoyed all of the gum.  

The Gum itself are square shaped, and easy to chew.  Just pop one out the package (each piece is sealed, and fresh.) 

I know a lot of people do resolutions for the new years.  Like to eat better, to exercise, etc. 

Did you know chewing gum Burns calories? 

What is a better, healthier alternative way to burn a few calories, and help crave hunger in between meals, and snacks than to chew Chemical free Gum? 

Also if your resolution was to stop smoking - This would be a better alternative to go Chemical free with Gum too.  

Either way I personally believe this gum is a better substitute than a lot of things out there.  

Don't forget to check Pur Gum out on Facebook,
