John Paul Pet 3 Pack Review & Giveaway!



Gem, on a bad day

Gizzy
This review was almost perfect for me! Having used the products I received on a shi tzu named Gem and a shi tzu mix named Gizzy, they require A LOT of grooming. Gem always has the worst problems with her fur and skin! She has super sensitive skin and is constantly digging at herself from dry skin! The pet care 3 pack I was able to review contained a bottle of Oatmeal Shampoo, Ear and Eye Wipes and Oatmeal Conditioning Spray. Oat meal is generally used for food, but it's really good for sensitive skin.


Pet Care 3 Pack

So as many dog owners know, dogs get eye boogies, just like people. So having these wipes makes it slightly less gross having to clean them off your dog. More commonly in little dogs, they have tear stains, where their eyes leak some nasty stuff and leaves their fur right around their eyes a nasty brown color. These wipes are basically made for that reason. Also, for ears, dogs can't just grab a q-tip and clean their ears out, we have to help them with that. These wipes work great for getting all the nasty gunk off from around their ears. They kill bacteria and keep your dog's ears clean and smelling clean as well!
The Oatmeal Shampoo is made for sensitive skin, which as I said previously, is great for Gem! When I gave her a bath using this shampoo, she didn't try to jump out of the tub, I think it was less harmful and maybe didn't make her sore spots burn, thanks to that wonderful oatmeal! And not to mention, these products smell sooo good, when your dog gets out of the bath they smell like a cookie with legs and a tail!

As for the Oatmeal Conditioning Spray, I sprayed this on the dogs when they were finished with their baths. This is great for dogs with longer hair. Those spots right behind the ears and on their back legs that always seems to get tangled up, yeah, this stuff makes untangling those spots so much easier and way less painful for the dogs! It also leaves your dogs hair smelling fresh and feeling soft and clean! I was not disappointed with these products!

As you can see below, John Paul Pet offers a very large variety of stuff to help keep you beloved pet clean and smelling fresh!

City Creek Candles & Candlewarmers.com Review & Giveaway!

I love candles! All shapes, sizes, colors and most smells! What could be better than to have a flame-less candle? With the same great smell!? City Creek Candles sent me some wax melts, they are my favorite, I feel like they make the house smell ten times better than an actual candle. I chose the wax melts in the Coconut White Sands scent! I must say, my house smelled like a pina colada! It smelled delicious! 



Candle Warmers ETC, also sent me something neat to review! A candle warmer! I was able to chose the one I liked the most. The best part about it, it has a tray for your wonderful wax melts and when you feel like you want to burn a candle, you can remove the tray and stick a candle on it. It basically has the same effect, except you can change the scents more often. No flames, no worrying about forgetting to blow the candle out before you go somewhere and the house burning down before you get home!



They asked me to do this review with a video, but I seem to be having problems with that aspect. But, I did happen to find a video for you all to watch to get a little more insight on their products!

This website would be a great place to find gift ideas for basically any occasion, who doesn't enjoy a nice smelling home?

You can find more safety information about flame less candles, here!

Sans Sucre Review!

I was able to taste test some super yummy brownies and apple cinnamon coffee cake! They were both really good! Not to mention, really easy to make; there is only two ingredients! Water and oil! This is great for me because it seems every time I eat anything with eggs in it, I don't feel good!



Another great thing about the brownies, they are sugar free, and the apple cinnamon coffee cake has no added sugars! A good dessert for people with diabetes who still want that chocolate brownie every once in awhile!

They also have other products you can check out here! You can also just go straight to purchase here! Or find stuff in the grocery section on Amazon.com!!

WooBamboo Review!!

I love having that fresh clean feeling of brushing my teeth! Toothbrushes are a must have in my home, and if you're like me, so is changing to a new toothbrush every couple months. That's not really a great thing for our planet though, but with WooBamboo, they are great!



WooBamboo has sent me four toothbrushes to test out; Standard, Slim and Sprout. I tested the Standard size one and it was really a great toothbrush! They made my mouth feel super clean, without making my gums sore. I let the kiddos try out the Sprout sized ones, even though they are not to that stage of actually knowing how to brush their teeth yet, they still try!

These toothbrushes are great for our planet! The handles are biodegradable, made from sustainable bamboo; the packaging is made from recycled materials. They are all sorts of great, all the way around. What better way to do your part than to get some Earth friendly toothbrushes and to keep your mouth feeling great at the same time!?

Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops Review!

So, being a mom of two kids who are always getting sick, I am also always getting sick! I know I'm not the only one who hates being sick and feeling like crap! I was able to try out the softish throat drops from Pine Bros as a review item! 



I was given the choice between Natural Honey, Wild Cherry and Black licorice. I picked the Natural Honey, I hate black licorice anything and every cherry flavored cough drop I've ever had always tasted to horrible! Well, the honey ones tasted great and got the job done! Right around the time I received them in the mail I was sick with a sinus infection for about two and a half weeks, so it was great! 

These are not like any other kind of cough drop I have ever tasted in my life! They weren't hard, they were gummy, like a gummy bear almost. Very unique! They definitely help my throat out a lot too!

Go ahead and get yourself some! You won't regret it! You can find their products at their website! Don't forget to like them on Facebook!

GoZym Review!

I was lucky enough to have the chance to review these GoZym tablets, which is great for me! I am constantly trying to find energy to do anything during the day. Plus with the lack of sleep I get from two, almost two year old kids, still not sleeping through the night, I am one tired mamma!! Energy drinks cost too much, I love coffee, but I hate drinking it hot, so letting it cool down in the freezer takes too long! Putting it over ice just doesn't taste the same, and to buy some frozen coffee, or iced coffee is also way to expensive! With these tablets, I can easily grab a glass of water and throw one in, let it dissolve and drink it! And they give me energy I need to make it through the day chasing after these two boys! 





The GoZym tablets are dis solvable and filled with electrolytes, along with other vitamins! Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium and Potassium. They also have just about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. They are perfect for people who work out, if you have a busy schedule or even if you are trying to lose weight, since they are also a dietary supplement. I'm sure not for every meal, but for when you are feeling hungry for a snack or something along those lines. 

They are portable, too! Each tube has ten tablets in them, which is almost like carrying around ten bottle of Gatorade. No one wants to do that! They come in four flavors; grape, lemon lime, orange and berry. I was able to try the grape, orange and lemon lime and they were all super good. And this review is coming from someone who would rather go without anything to drink than drinking water, if that tells you anything!

You can find your GoZym tablets at their website! Along with liking them on Facebook. And make sure to follow them on Pinterest & Twitter!

PicturesOnGold.com Review & Giveaway!!

I was given the chance to create a locket, basically of my choice, to review. I was able to choose the clip art for the front, the pictures on the inside and what I wanted written on the back! I decided since Mother’s Day is right around the corner, I would turn it into a review and Mother’s Day gift for Jacob and Jordin’s grandma on their dad’s side. She has done basically everything for me and my kids since they have been born!

When I got my locket in the mail, I was so impressed! Even the packaging was amazing! The locket itself was phenomenal! I almost had second thoughts of keeping it myself! But, it says ‘grandma’ on the front, and I don’t fit that category!


There is a good sized variety of clip art to choose from for the lockets at PicturesOnGold.com. Many for different meanings and holidays and other stuff as well. They also have different lockets to choose from, so you won’t have to get the same one as I did. They also come in gold and silver.

For the clip art on my locket, I picked this one because I love roses and once again, it says ‘grandma’.


The inside was my favorite part about making this locket! I was given three choices for the pictures, black and white laser engraved, color laser engraved or just a picture. I picked the color laser engraved photos. The pictures I picked were, Jacob and Jordin when they were only a couple days old, on the left, and then a newer picture of them together, for the right. It turned out absolutely fabulous!! I am so in love with this locket!


Last but not least, I also got to choose what I wanted engraved on the back, if anything. I decided to get the script style font over the bold and the words say, “We Love You”. Once again, this turned out so perfect! The whole locket is perfect!



**I don’t have the best camera in the world, so I apologize for the poor quality of my photos.**

You are also able to choose which style chain you would like for your locket, along with the length of the chain.

 Just remember, Mother’s day is right around the corner! You can visit them at their website to get more details and to check out the other choices and possibilities of lockets! Or, you can just go straight to the BuildYour own Locket and get started on your order!

SexyPop Popcorn Review

I got some more food to review for you all, this time, it's popcorn! Good popcorn! I received five different flavors to taste out: Brazilian Coconut, Black pepper, Bangin' Cheddar, Lightly Salted and French Butter.



I tried the Brazilian Coconut flavor first. I had to share it with Jordin while my other son was sleeping, He wouldn't leave me alone for more! Sadly, we ate the whole bag, and it was delicious! It was a sweet popcorn, but not like caramel corn or kettle corn. I would've liked it better if it had more coconut flavor to it, but it was still delicious!

The Black Pepper was my least favorite, I'm not a big pepper fan on any of my food, but I gave it a taste. It left a pepper taste in my mouth, it was almost spicy.

Then, there's the Bangin' Cheddar! Mmm Cheddar Popcorn! Another great flavor!

The lightly salted was also on my 'not a fan' list. It was more plain, like a natural popcorn.

The French Butter was like your classic buttered popcorn. It was good.

All five flavors were good, I liked some better than others. Brazilian Coconut was my favorite, my son's as well, while the Black pepper was my least favorite.

This popcorn is low on calories as well, for those of you trying to lose weight but love popcorn!

You can get your SexyPop Popcorn at their website. Also, make sure to like them on Facebook!

Grandma Hoerner's Big Slice Apples Review & Giveaway!

I am really not that big of an apple fan, but I pretty much love all fruit. These apples are not like anything I have ever tasted in my life! I was able to try six of their flavors: Raspberry Hibiscus & Coffee Extract, Natural, Cinnamon French Toast, Boysenberry Chocolate, Banana Mango & Hemp Seed, Pineapple Passion Fruit & Fiber, Blueberry Pomegranate and Cherry Vanilla. They were all very delicious! Don't let the flavors deceive you, they all tasted just as the pouch said!



Big Slice Apples started out with a young boy trying to recreate his grandma's recipe for slowly cooked apples. All together, Big Slice has created 16 different flavors to choose from: 

They have their 'pure' flavors: Orange Ginger, Apricot, Natural, Blueberry Pomegranate, Lemon Berry, Chai and Cherry Vanilla.

Then there is the 'be fit' flavors: Banana Mango & Hemp Seed, Peach Green Tea & Aloe, Pineapple Passion Fruit & Fiber and Raspberry Hibiscus & Coffee Extract.

Finally, their 'indulgence' flavors: Peach Bellini, Cinnamon Candy, Boysenberry Chocolate, Cinnamon French Toast and Caramel.


They all sound YUMMY!! The apples are all slowly cooked in their naturally sweet juices, then infused with the other natural flavors.They aren't crunchy apples, they're soft; I think they would taste amazing if they were warmed up a little bit before eating, but I wasn't able to try that out, I actually just thought about it.. :/ I did get the chance to try a little bit of each flavor, but whenever I opened a pouch, my kids would attack me! They loved them so much, I will have to get some more for them, and myself! Nothing like a healthy snack, not only for you, but the rest of your family, too. The worst part about it, sharing.



You can fins more information about how these apples are made and see what other things they offer at their website.

Giani Granite Review!!

Hey everyone, I have one of the coolest reviews yet for you all today! Basically, this product is like paint for your tables and counter tops; to make your boring and ugly tables and such, look amazing! Like real granite! This is an awesome product! The pictures I will be showing you are before and after pictures of just a small table I did. I hope you think it is as great as I did!

Before receiving the Bombay Black Giani Kit, this table was just a boring white table. We then painted our masterpiece!

The first step, after cleaning the table off, was applying the black primer. The kit also came with pretty much everything you need, just not a paint tray. If you were to order one of their other colors they have, I'm sure the primer wouldn't be black, but I'm not 100% sure. You then let the primer dry for about eight hours.

The kit I received came with three different colors to pat onto the primer after its dry. This was the best part, besides the finished product! You can basically do whatever design you wish to do during this. You start by taking the sponge, included in the kit, then pat the white paint on in a small section, not letting it dry before following with the black. You finish with the bronze. It turned out amazing, but I personally think there was too much bronze, but this was kind of a practice run.



After you sponge on the colors, you let them dry. Now, you apply the top coat, let it dry, apply another layer, let that dry, then you're done! Hello brand new table!!



You are supposed to wait a day or so to put anything back on your table or counters, to make sure its completely dry and hardened.

This table turned out amazing! I can guarantee that when I get my own house, I will be getting more kits from them to redo my kitchen and bathroom! Its definitely an inexpensive way to have a fabulous kitchen!

Giani Granite also offers other colors:

Sicilian Sand

Saphire Blue

Bombay Black

Chocolate Brown

Emerald Green

Roma Red

White Diamond


They also offer cabinet paints for cupboards. To check these out, click here!

Another cool feature stainless steel paint, for appliances! Check them out here!
