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.

Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy Bath Treatment Review


Bath time is baby Sy's absolute favorite time.  He gets to splash, play with his toys.  Sometimes even make a mess with his bath tub crayons, and paint.  His skin is very sensitive, and he has Eczema patches..  What I found that helps his skin, and bath treatment that even my mom used to us growing was Oatmeal baths. Especially since we lived near the marsh, and woods.  We were always being ate by bugs, and getting into poison ivy, and sumac that she had a stockpile of the oatmeal soothing relief packs.  I love that they make a line just for babies now for it.

The New Aveeno Active Naturals Eczema Therapy Line has been awarded the National Eczema Association Seal of Acceptance. Fragrance-free. Dye-free. Alcohol free.

Aveeno Baby Eczema Therapy is perfect for Sy.  It's soothing, and just one packet is enough to bathe him in.  He enjoyed how it turned the bath water into a milky white color.  Also, it's great for diaper rash, all rashes really.  Mosquito bites, since summer will be here soon.  Oatmeal baths are ideal for skin irritations.







Aveeno Baby Cleansing Therapy, Moisturizing Wash contains the same Oats, and natural colloidal oatmeal as the Soothing Bath Treatment.  I like to use just a little bit of this on a wash cloth, and some on my little ones hair.  I think it makes an overall head, to toe wash for his sensitive skin.
Aveeno Baby Ezcema Therapy Moisturizing Cream has a thick consistency.  After his oatmeal bath, I rubbed just a little of this on his face, and his arms where he breaks out the most.  I noticed a drastic change with in minutes.  








We have always been a fan of Aveeno.  One of my favorite lotions to use for Sy is the Calming Comfort Lavender Lotion.  Receiving these items for free to review just made me realize how great of a company Aveeno is, and that the products did help with his skin problems.  If it's good enough for your babies skin, of course even as an adult you can use the Oatmeal baths, and Lotions too.


Go give Aveeno some love on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/aveeno.  Do you use Aveeno? Or have any memories using Aveeno as a child? I love that I get to share the product with my Son now.


Nexxus Salon Hair Care Pro-Mend Review


Nexxus Salon Hair Care Pro-Mend Split End Treatment Daily Shampoo, and Pro-Mend Conditioner may sound like it would have a medicated scent but it doesn't.  The first thing I noticed when I opened to squeeze some of the shampoo onto my hand was the sweet smell of the Shampoo.  The smell reminds me of a Sweet Tart.  I love, good, smelly, shampoos. Nexxus Pro-Mend was easy to lather, and to wash out.  The conditioner was thick, and once smoothed into my hair ( I use  a lot of conditioner and run it through/rub it on every piece of my hair.  While at the ends of my hair I like to flatten it, so the hair looks like all the strains are together. All the way across.) I then leave the Conditioner in for a few minutes.  It rinsed out easily.  The sweet scent was still there afterwards.  


The Nexxus Pro-Mend made my hair shiny, and easy to brush.  I didn't have to add any leave-in conditioner.  Which I normally always have to do.  I liked this shampoo/conditioner combination as is.  They do make Nexxus Pro-Mend Leave in's, but I don't think my hair needed it this time.  I received these products for free to review.  All opinions, and photos are my own.  This shampoo is some of the best I've experienced.  You should really try it! 


Go give Nexxus some Love on their social media outlets! Never know what next great product they come out with that you could be missing out on.

The frozen yogurt we decided to try were;




We enjoyed all the new Greek Yogurt Flavors.  My favorite was the Pineapple Ice Cream.  There was chunks of pineapple in it, with swirls of passion fruit.  It was a great small treat.  The Pineapple Ben & Jerrys Frozen Yogurt Ice Cream is only 180 calories for a half cup.  It's milky like ice cream, and still sweet.  The hubby enjoyed the other 2 pints.  I know when he likes something.. by the way he eats it all, and doesn't talk while eating it.  Haha.  He's on a diet too, and he's lost weight this week as well.  We believe anything in moderation is OK.  

You can find other choices by going to the Ben & Jerry's Flavors Freezer online.  There is also a Ben & Jerry's Locator in case there is a certain flavor you are just vying to try, and can't find it in your store.   There are a lot new flavor combinations for Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream.  You'd be surprised that your old favorite, may not be your new favorite.  There is even Cannoli Ice cream now!!

BeautyStopOnline.com Review for HEMPZ Body Wash & Lotion


I believe skin care is extremely important.  Age does not matter.  Old, young, newborn, or even in the womb.  We need certain vitamins for healthy cells.  We really need to take care of our skin.  I am a huge advocate of natural oils, vitamins, and remedies.  I turn 31 in a few months, and I have always liked to bathe in oils like the egyptians.  I also moisturize myself every time I get out of the water.  

BeautyStopOnline.com is a great site to purchase beauty products at almost half off other stores prices. They have all the name brands, and then some.   I was pleased at how easy it is to browse the site.  There is even a Natural & Organic tab.



Hempz Jasmine Peach & Wild Rose Body Wash really surprised me.  I was expecting it to smell overly floral, but really, it has a sweet peach aroma with a light touch of jasmine, and rose that still lingers on the skin once out of the shower.  I was in the mood for a bubble bath, so I squirted just a little bit into the tub.  It bubbled quickly, and lasted the duration of the bath.  



Hempz Pure Herbal Extracts Vanilla Plum Moisturizer has made me back burner all my other lotions at this moment.  As you can see by my image, it's all I've been using the last week, and a half.  The scent is not strong (Which is why I like it.) I don't like overly vanilla scents, and this does not have that.  The vanilla gives the plum more of a deep, sweet, creamy scent while heated, and rubbed into the skin.  When I smell my skin, I can smell it, and really, that is what I want.  I want to be moisturized, and to smell good for myself, and the one I love.  I don't think everyone should be able to smell me from afar.  

I have been feeling good about myself lately.  Between the weight loss, and my skin feeling beautiful, and I do have to admit.  My skin is pretty flawless right now.  


This is how much weight I've lost.  I have a few inches extra in my pants now. So skin care right now is a MUST.  I must hydrate, and moisturize as I am shedding those pounds so that I stay firm as I'm toning.  It can be done, and I am doing it.  I am down 30 lbs by just going the healthier, alternative way since last summer.

I also wanted to disclose,  HEMPZ does NOT contain any THC.  Hemp seed oil is a fantastic, oil.  And I wish more people were accepting of it.  Hemp seed contains Omega 6 and Omega 3 fatty acids.  It's composition is similar to skin lipids. It has been known to increase the skin elasticity and water retention capacity in skin tissue.  Hemp oil also helps to calm irritated skin, and to energize.  Little history for you, in 1916 all farmers were forced to grow hemp in the United States, it was a huge cash crop during the war.  It wasn't until 1937 that it became illegal.  Hemp is a harmless plant, that is full of vitamins, amino acids, it can even be used for clothing, paper, and FUEL.  It's also easy to grow.  Really? Why be against Hemp again? Once again, all opinions are my own, and I do stand behind natural beauty products.  These are my favorite types of reviews.


Curious about the companies social media outlets? You can follow them below.  Ask them questions, or even just join in to find fantastic promo codes.  Like right now online there is a 10% off code for the top 10 Favorites.  Promotions are always changing, so don't be left out of the BeautyStopOnline.com loop.

Stonz Wear Rain Boots Review 100% Natural Rubber


Silas is quite the little man of the forest in his Kids Stonz Wear Rain Bootz!  I can't believe how big my baby boy is getting.  These are his first rain boots.  What makes these boots awesome is, they are 100% Natural Rubber Rain Boots.  Another great thing about these Boots that I noticed is that they could bend easily with his natural gait, and he did not trip over them.  He could even climb  a tree trunk in them.  They were also ideal as he ran through leaves and moist soil.  I am so happy that the snow finally melted.


This is the first year that he's big enough to go out, and enjoy nature without falling all over himself.  He knows he's looking so cool, and fresh in his new Stonz Rain Bootz in Blue/Black.  Look at him checking himself out!  

Shipping Wise, they were delivered fast, and in a cute litttle re-usable bag.  It was the perfect little gift bag.  I wouldn't even wrap this if I were giving it as a gift to someone.  Instead of them wasting money on shipping materials, the Rain boots were mailed directly in the tote bag with tissue paper, and just a plastic bag.  I thought that was ingenious, and completely not a waste of packing material! Two thumbs up, and an abundance of kudos!  

Overall Impression of StonzWear.com Rain Boots:  They are durable, bright beautiful blue, and true to fit for the size I needed for my Toddler.  Well worth the $35.99.  

Below are a list of Top 12 Reasons why you should check out Stonz Wear Rain Bootz:
  1. 100% Natural Rubber 
  2. Durable
  3. Tear resistant
  4. Flexible
  5. Comfortable 
  6. Quick dry 
  7. 100% cotton liner 
  8. PVC-free 
  9. Phthalate-free 
  10. Lead-free 
  11. Formaldehyde-free
  12. Because they are Cute

Curious about what other natural products Stonz has to offer? Go check them out on their Social Media networks below, and give them some Love!


Sy received these Rain Boots to sample, so Mommy can review them and give our honest opinions.  If he did not like the rain boots, believe me he would not have had them on.  All opinions, and photos are our own.

Love how Shiny Parnevu T-Tree Shampoo, Conditioner, and Braid Spray made my hair!


My hair enjoyed, and soaked up the benefits of Parnevu Tea Tree Oil.  I grow my hair out for Locks Of Love.  This will be the 4th Time Donating, and it's already to my waist.  I donated 11 inches almost 2 years ago.  I am happy to say from taking care of it, keeping it trimmed and using natural shampoos I have 10+ more inches to donate again.   

What I really liked about Parnevu's T-Tree Shampoo is the natural scent of the Australian T-Tree.  It also lathers a lot, and that made it extremely easy to massage into my scalp.  T-Tree is great for a healthy scalp! I then used Parnevu for Extra Dry Hair After Shampoo Conditioner.  The Conditioner was thick, and even after my hair absorbed it I could still feel the silky texture while rinsing it all the way out.  I sprayed Parnevu's T-Tree Braid Spray in my hair while it was wet, then let it dry.  Once it was dried I sprayed a little more in, and braided my hair.  Since my hair is long now, and I usually just braid it in one long braid, and that's it.  I don't think of my hair as my own anymore, I think I am taking care of it to give to someone else that really needs it.  


My overall impression of Parnevu was it cleaned my scalp and hair great.  Moisturized to where my hair was shiny.   Before I used the Shampoo, Conditioner, and Spray my hair was dull, and weighed down.   I noticed after I used it my hair was brighter, shinier, and had more natural wave to it.   I'm a huge fan of Leave in Sprays, and the Braid Spray is a better alternative.  It's T-Tree Oil.  Most leave in sprays create itching, and flakes.  Parnevu's T-Tree Braid Spray helps control itching, flaking, conditions and adds shine.  There is also a cool feeling on the scalp from the T-Tree. 

You can find Parnevu Online, Facebook, and Twitter.  Check them out!  If you have never tried T-Tree Oil you really should try Parnevu.  

Parnevu's T-Tree Shampoo is a unique blend of botanicals designed to cleanse the hair and scalp of impurities.  Contains Australian Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia.)  T-Tree Oil is great for itchy dry scalps, and eliminating flakes.  T-Tree Oil is also known to kill bacteria. What's not to love?!

I received samples to review, all opinions, and photos are my own.

One lucky fan of beautiful hair has a chance to win their choice of THREE PARNEVU Products!!!!  Enter Via RaffleCopter Below!

Evol Foods has Gluten Free Bowls, and Burritos!


I don't cook as much as I used to, as in full meals since I'm on my diet.  My husband however is completely Gluten Free.  He has lost over 60 Lbs now since going Gluten Free.  Instead of bread we both eat Corn Tortilla Wraps.   So I was blown away when I saw EVOL Foods has Gluten Free Bowls, and Gluten Free Burritos now!  When he gets home from work later, He will be so happy to have a Chicken Enchilada Gluten Free Bowl, and A Side Salad.   I'm a fan of EVOL too!  It's full of protein, and fiber.  The Truffle Parmesan Mac & Cheese is on top for a reason..  

Don't forget to check out my Grilled EVOL Burritos Review by clicking Here,


I can completely do this again, grill some fruits, and vegetables up with the burritos, and still stick to my diets guide lines.  I know my family will be happy,  winter is gone, and I'm feeling the mood to grill some burritos. There were days that the husband couldn't eat dinner with us and I had to prepare something separate since he's Gluten Free.  With the new Evol Gluten Free Burritos I don't have to worry about that.  LOVE EVOL!

I received these to sample for my open, honest opinion.  I was not paid, or told what to say.  All images are my own.

Fibond Hair Loss Treatment Review & Giveaway

Review for Fibond Light Brown Hair

Imagine a Magical, Plant Resinous Fiber, and has an anti static agent, with Keratin Derivative that transforms into Instant Hair.. and you have Fibond! It can be used for hair loss treatment for women, and men.  

Best thing about Fibond? It's 100% Natural.

The Fibond comes in a shaker like bottle.  First there is a holographic seal you have to open to get into the box, and then another holographic seal you peel off that's for the holes of the shaker.  It was extremely easy to use. All I did was sprinkle the Fibond on my husbands head, and it only took a few seconds.  I also was curious, and wanted to see what would happen if I blew on the Fibond while it was on his head, and nothing happened.  The fibers moved with the rest of his hair, and did not blow off.  I thought that was different. 


This was our first time trying any type of hair loss product.  When I asked my husband what he thought about Fibond he said, "It feels as if there is fuzz or lint on my head." I said, "You mean hair?" Hahaha.. I love him, it was a little weird seeing him with that much hair.  He looked a lot younger. It also washes out easily in the shower.

Click on this Image to see the Fibers up close.  The Technology, and science involved in this is just unreal. 

I can't get over how well it blended in, and stuck to his head.

The instructions are to,
  1. Make sure your hair is dry
  2. Hold the bottle at a 45 degree angle over thinning hair area.
  3. Shake the bottle gently about 2 inches from your head so that the fibers cling to the thinning area.
  4. Repeat steps 3 until you achieve the desired hair coverage.
  5. Tightly close the container and store away from moisture when not in use. 
Ingredients:
Plant Resinous Fiber, Keratin Derivative, Antistatic Agent.  Find out more by going to www.Fibond.com


Knowing what Fibond is now, Would you like to win a 25g, 50 to 75 day supply of Fibond? Enter below!

The value after shipping is $33.00, value before shipping $29.95. One Lucky Follower will win! Open to U.S. Residents Only. 18+.  Giveaway begins 3/15 12:00AM Est, Ends 4/2 12:00AM Est.  Winner will be chosen at random via Rafflecopter.  Notified by Email, so please leave a valid email address.  Life According To GreenVics is not responsible for prize shipment.  Shipment will be mailed directly from sponsor.

ColorTime Crafts Review & Giveaway!


Today I am reviewing (well, more like playing) Color Time Crafts And Markers.  I was sent the Smile 4 Peace T-shirts.  These are the cutest T-shirts ever.  What's great is that the T-shirts are 100% Pre-Shrunk Cotton, and the Markers are Non-Toxic, Water Resistant, Chlorine Resistant, Odorless, Pigmented, and no ironing needed!  

The prices for the T-shirts are extremely affordable.  For Sizes S-XL $5.95, Bigger Sizes add $2.00.  You can also buy them in bulk, and get a discount. Call for pricing 800-500-0770 .  I think it's fantastic that they are an official Girls Scouts Of America vendor! I was a Girl Scout growing up, Daisy - Brownie - Junior, Almost made it to Cadette! So Love this about ColorTime Crafts.  I can't tell you how many crafts/projects/and badges I earned over the years.  


The markers easily colored onto the fabric.  I only did one layer of color, I think it looks dark enough as is.  It does state if you want to add more color, let it dry, and color over so that the marker's don't bleed through.  I had no trouble with that. Also, it's best to let it dry over night before washing it.  


I absolutely loved this project,  there is really no wrong way to color the tshirt in, it's up to the artist on what colors to use, or designs.  I made myself one to rock too!


The art project was 2 year old approved.  When Sy likes something, he kisses it.  


Anything involving coloring, designing, and just having fun is great.  I really believe that since I grew up around art, and I allow Sy even at a young age see that there are so many different ways to color inside, and outside the lines.  That there is No wrong way, and he will be artistic too.  Right now he still wants to lick markers, and eat the crayons, haha.

I See Me's New Snuggle Bunny Personalized Children's book is beyond adorable.  The book itself is great for bed time.  It also helps children learn to count 1 through 10.  Each page is beautifully illustrated, and personalized with my Son's first name.  This is ideal to give him for Easter in his basket.  Below are  a few other ideas from I See Me For Easter.  


I don't give my son a lot of sweets for the Holidays, and he does love books, and stuffed animals.  I just know he's going to love his very own snuggle bunny gift set. Also check out the My Very Own Storybooks, Pirates, Fairytales, Birthdays, and many more!

There is also a promotion code that ends in a few days on 3/15 to get $5.00 off for min. purchase of $19.95. The Easter cut off for delivery (Since the book is Personalized.) is 3/15.  The Code to use is: HOPS

Candle Voyage Review


I'm a huge fan of candles.  Not only do each of these candles play with the senses, they are also artisan hand-made. When I unboxed my samples from Candle Voyage I was happy to discover aromas I already like, mainly the Gingered Citrus, and Eucalyptus.  The box itself was extremely well packed, and I could smell the different oils inside.  It also comes with a list of the different candles, and artists websites.


A candle is meant to be lit!

I say it all the time.. that I like a variety of things.  I really do mean that.  Even with candles.  I think one can never have too many!  A different aroma for each mood.  Also one of my biggest peeves are people that don't light their candles! Candles are made to be lit! Enjoy them! Oh, and candle peeve #2 would be husbands that say you have too many!! Shhh, husband, shhh.



Candle Voyage is a monthly candle subscription box that contains candles from different artists.  Maybe you'll find a candle you can't live without, or you are just like me, you like to try new things all the time. Either way, it's also nice to support different artists, because candle making is an art!



The monthly plans can even be purchased as gifts.  The boxes retail for around $25 plus shipping & handling.  The soy jar candle, and the 3 aroma layered one would retail for about that in the store alone so I consider this a reasonable price.


So, Light your candles! Relax! Go on a Candle Voyage of your own.  We allllllllll deserve some calm time.  These candles were even better when lit.
