Hormel Compleats Kids Microwave Meals Review


I was recently given the opportunity from SheSpeaks.com to try these for my kids.  I was lucky enough to get to try these out for free.  I was very excited to try them out for a number of reasons.  They are quick for a mom that is constantly on the go.  I was glad to find out that the sodium in them is pretty low for an already prepared meal that is shelf stable and doesn't need to be refrigerated or frozen.  I also like the fact that they are nutritious and that they also cook in only 45 seconds. 



My daughter really liked the Beef Ravioli and the Macaroni and Beef.  She tried the Chicken and Pasta variety and ate it, but the others were her favorite.  I tasted a little bit of these too and they were good.  The sauce on both was good and not too sweet like some kinds of prepackaged or prepared tomato sauces.  I would definately recomend these to busy mom's that still want to give their kids a healthy and quick meal.

Frugal Mommie of 2: Covergirl New NatureLuxe Collection

Frugal Mommie of 2: Covergirl New NatureLuxe Collection: "I was recently given the opportunity to try the new Foundation and Gloss Balm from the Covergirl NatureLuxe collection because I am a bzzage..."

Covergirl New NatureLuxe Collection

I was recently given the opportunity to try the new Foundation and Gloss Balm from the Covergirl NatureLuxe collection because I am a bzzagent on bzzagent.com.

I will admit that I am extremely picky when it comes to foundation.  I hate wearing foundation that feels heavy at all.  I tried on the NatureLuxe foundation today and was impressed.  It feels very light and still has excellent coverage.  I wasn't sure if I was going to like the color that I picked, but I was impressed that it didn't give me a line on my jawline.  It blended in great!  I also like that it has a SPF 10 to protect my skin from the sun, but I also like that it is oil free.  I personally have to use foundations that are oil free otherwise I break out.  This new foundation is available at drug stores and big box stores.  I am not suprised that 8 out of 10 professional Makeup Artists say that this foundation provides a light, luxurious feel.  I also love that the foundation contains natural ingredients.  It has jojaba extract and cucumber water in it.



I then tried on the NatureLuxe Gloss Balm.  I was really afraid that the color would go on super dark since I was trying out the "spice" shade.  It went on with a hint of color and I like that.  I also like that it was moisturizing and didn't feel like thick lipstick.  I enjoy that it is more of a cross between lipgloss and chapstick, but it didn't have that sticky feel like lipgloss sometimes does.  The Gloss Balm also contains an SPF to help protect your lips.

It's Almost Swimsuit Season - Check out Stylefind.com

I decided to check out stylefind.com today and really liked the swimsuits that they had featured when I checked out their site.  They have a lot of cute styles and even a lot of great prices.  I like that they show that they also have some under $30 (which is a good deal) for a good swimsuit in my opinion.  I will definately be looking into these in another few weeks once it is swimsuit weather and swimming season.

I am very glad I was introduced to this website and able to review it because I am a bzzagent on bzzagent.com

StorkBrokers

Don't forget to check out this neat new site.  I love this idea and the thought of turning my kids outgrown items into cash or putting it towards some gently used clothes.  You can search for items by the childs size and sex and it makes it easy to find something you can really use and want.  They have other items too besides clothes too.



If you are interested in finding out how to sell your childs gently used items (clothes, toys, and other items) check on the link below on how to turn your kids items into cash.  I was introduced to this website because I'm a bzzagent on bzzagent.com.  I know as a busy mom of 2 I deffinately could use something like this.  My kids are constantly growing out of clothes and toys and need new ones.  This is great because I can actually get some money back on the clothes and other items they can no longer use.  There are a lot of great deals on items through Storkbroker.com.  If you sign up now you can get 3 free commission free sales too!

Possible Covergirl NatureLuxe Balm Gloss on Facebook!



I was lucky enough to find out about this program because I'm a bzzagent on bzzagent.com.  This is a fun way to get involved on the Covergirl facebook page.  You get to make your own custom desktop wallpaper that is inspired by the NatureLuxe collection.  Once you do this you have a chance to win a Covergirl NatureLuxe Balm Gloss.  To get started head over to the Covergirl facebook page and click "like" to get started.  I personally can't wait to try the NaturLuxe collection.  I'm a big fan of lightweight makeup, so I am definately going to have to give it a try.

Flip Ultra Video Camera

I will first start out by saying I am super excited to be able to try out the Flip UltraHD Video Camera because I am a bzzagent with bzzagent.com.  This happened at the perfect time for me because I honestly have been having problems with my current camera.  I took a few videos of my kids today and found it very simple to set up and to use.  I also found that the quality of the video was excellent for a little camera.  I found the camera to shoot high quality video, but also found the picture to be clear and not grainy.  I would love for it to have an option to shoot still photos as well as video, but you can edit your videos and create still photos from that.  I find that to be very neat.  I also messed around with it some more and I had fun sending my video right from the program it comes with to facebook, twitter or an email. 

Here is a photo of what I got!  I can't wait to use it some more.
