Harvey Prince Perfumes

- brandy3 31 Comments

i got to try out two perfumes by Harvey PrinceAgeless and eAu fLirt.

Ageless:  This fragrance defies your skins natural age revealing scent.    Ageless is an aromatic essence of pink grapefruit, mango, anti-oxidant rich pomegranate, jasmine and musk. This perfume is said to make you smell younger.

This perfume definitely smelled great, did it make me smell younger, no I’m only in my twenty’s.   The scent of grapefruit does give it a refreshing scent to make you feel younger. i really liked it .

  The downsides are it only comes in one size bottle. 3.4 oz and costs $120

Eau Flirt Box and Bottle Glamour Shot

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

eAu fLirt: from pr:

 

Drs, Alan Hirsch and Jason Gruss of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation. Investigating the impact of 30 different ambient scents or scent mixes on male sexual arousal, the researchers found that a combination of lavender and pumpkin pie stirred up the most passion.

“With essences, but is also nuanced, complex, and utterly unforgettable,” says KumarRamani, founder of Harvey Prince.

 

was inspired by a study done by

Eau Flirt, we have designed a fragrance that contains these notes, floral and spicy middle notes, woods and musk bottom notes, combined with vanilla and pumpkin essences.

All ingredients – sourced from France, Italy and the U.S — are real flower and plant essences, which are far more subtle and complex than the lab-created synthetics used in many modern perfumes. These react beautifully with individual skin chemistry to make “come hither” scent.

I really loved the smell of this one and so did my hubby. i felt very attractive knowing that i smelled so good.  Does it attract men, i couldn’t tell you, because i don’t try. it attracted my hubby!

I loved both of these perfumes, thanks to harvey prince

Hellman’s virtual sandwich swap N share

- brandy3 3 Comments

When i was a kid I always wanted to trade my sandwich with my friends. turkey and cheese just got old after a while.. My kids on the other hand are not old enough but i don’t think would trade their PB&j sandwiches.  Luckily, Hellmann’s and Best Foods Mayonnaise has teamed up with musician and actor Billy Ray Cyrus to encourage people of all ages to celebrate their favorite childhood ritual and join the virtual Sandwich Swap ‘n’ Share program to raise money for Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity.

join Billy Ray Cyrus, celebrated celebrity dad, in contributing to this very worthy cause. For every sandwich created as part of the virtual Sandwich Swap ‘n’ Share program on www.facebook.com/hellmanns. Hellmann’s and Best Foods will donate 7 lunches[1] to Feeding America.

thanks to Momselect

 

Each sandwich created will automatically enter you for a chance to win a $250 grocery store gift certificate. And for every friend on Facebook  that you share your sandwich with, Hellmann’s and Best Foods will donate an additional 7 lunches to the charity.

I’ll admit I’m a sucker for junk food if it’s in the house i have no control. My children know it’s there and will beg for it constantly.   I have learned that i need to overcome my own eating habits before i can cotrol my children’s eating habits.  Some of the challenges i face are getting my kids to eat healthy. They have som great new healthy foods for children out that have the looney tunes characters on them.

another challenge i face is getting my kids to like veggies.  they love fruit but will not touch veggies.

another challenge i face is getting them to try variety.

another challenge i face is adding more than just dairy into their snack time.   My kids love milk and cheese, and they would eat that all day if they could.

Solavie skin/hair care system review

- brandy3 1 Comment

The Solavie skin/hair care system is the first unisex skin and hair care line designed around the body’s response to environmental conditions.

The system is eco-global friendly

no outer package=zero paper waste                                                                 for and from eco-systems of the world=enviro-type

compact bottle design=fewer trucks, less gas                                               native plant phyto-nutrients=local indigenous sourcing

double concentrated formulas=less plastic                                                    supporting 3rd world handicrafts=socially responsible

all natural ingredients=bio-degradable                                                              profits donated to sustainable charities=0% net waste

100% recycled materials=0% net carbon

they have face wash, face nourish, body nourish, hair/body wash, hair nourish/style; and the enviroments are mountains, urban,tropics, shore, plains, desert.

I got the chance to test out Solavie skin/hair care system. I received the Desert Hydration hair and body wash, and the Desert hydration hair nourish/style(conditioner and styling gel in one). Desert is for conditions of dryness, heat, sandy wind gusts

the shampoo and bath gel in one was nice and great smelling.  It felt more like soap than shampoo, but it got the job done.  The conditioner and hair gel in one was a little different for me. It wasn’t as soft and smooth as regular conditioners, but My was glowing in the heat of the sun.   i styled my hair and used the gel, and it stayed a hold for a while but not long.  I love the smell of this product and it great for travel.

Fabkins are good for little hands

- brandy3

 

http://www.fabkins.com/v/vspfiles/photos/FAB-00002-2.jpg

fabkins are the perfect napkins you can use over and over again. We put a stack of napkins on the table and my children will go through the stack before the meal is over. It gets wasteful an exspensive.  So i got to try out fabkins, the perfect little napkins for kids.

About Fabkins: Joyce Raffo and Paige Rodgers were both committed to packing “waste-free” lunches for their school-age children but had trouble finding cute cloth napkins that weren’t too formal or too big. Ultimately, they decided to create their own, and Fabkins was born.Fabkins are soft and durable everyday cloth napkins for kids, available in an array of bright colors and playful designs. Sized for kids’ laps and lunchboxes, Fabkins come in themed packs of five that reflect kids’ interests. Fabkins make school lunches and meals at home more fun, and inspire children to help save the environment.

We really love these they are so cute and help save money with the amount of napkins they went through.  The kids love the colors and the animals on them.    We use them everyday and are even thinking about buying more.
