BrushLove.com Review - BrushLab Thermal Jumbo Round Brush



I hate fighting with my hair when I know I'm probably using the wrong brush for what I'm trying to do.  I love the BrushLove.com website because it is so easy to find the right brush that you need for your hair.  They offer a variety of ways you can search for brushes.  The website allows you to put in your style profile, hair type, hair length, hair texture, and of course what you want the brush to do.  This is a great way to find the perfect brush for your hair!

I was asked what my hair type was and was then sent the perfect brush for my hair.  I received the BrushLab Thermal Jumbo Round Brush.  I found that this brush is easy to use.  It is perfect for hairstyles that need to be blown out.  The brush adds volume to fine hair and does a great job if you need to turn under ends that are stubborn.  I love this jumbo round brush for myself and my daughter.  I used it to blow out her hair that is cut like a bob.  It grabs her hair easily and it did an amazing job fluffing her hair up.  This brush is available from BrushLove.com and retails for $15.98.  





This is just one of the great brushes that BrushLove.com offers.  They offer pretty much any variety of brush you can imagine.  They not only offer hairbrushes, but they also offer hair care products, cosmetic tools and more.  Their website is very easy to use and that is very important to me.

I received a Lilla Rose Flexi Hair Clip from Emily's shop.  There are so many great choices when it comes to these.  They offer them in teeny tiny sizes (minis) and then they go all the way up to an extra large.  The size depends on the texture and length of your hair.  The best part is that Lilla Rose makes it easy to figure out exactly what size you want to use.  Then once you know the size you need you can pick a design.  This is the fun part!  I had a blast browsing all of the pretty Flexi Clips.  I ended up choosing the Skull and Crossbones Small Flexi Clip.  My daughter fell in love with it from the minute she saw it.

Chameleon Chili Sauce Review



I love anything with the word CHILI in the name.  Chameleon Chili Sauce is a unique sauce.  It was created by Johnathan Robbins.  He remembers when his grandma used to can chili sauce.  His mother, however, had a different recipe for chili sauce.  Johnathan left his previous job to take care of his mother when she became ill with cancer.  I truly find that amazing.  Johnathan's mother had a hard time eating from the treatment, but she did have a craving for the chili sauce.  Johnathan went to work in the kitchen to get the recipe just right for his mom.  Today that recipe is what Johnathan calls the Chameleon Chili Sauce!  I truly love the story behind this sauce.  It brings a smile to my face.  





Johnathan continued to play with the sauce recipe and then came up with the Chipotle Chili Sauce and the Red Pepper Lime version of the sauce.  All of them are amazing.  My 6 year old loves the original.  However, my favorite is the Chipotle.  They can be eaten as a dip with chips or veggies.  They can also be added to a variety of dishes to give them some added flavor.  I just love that there are big pieces of fresh veggies in the sauce.  It's super thick and chunky.  You really can tell that it is made with quality ingredients.  It is not your average salsa either.  It is loaded with spices too like cloves and much more!  I like the Chameleon Chili Sauce on anything from eggs to tacos.  What would you eat it on?  




Chameleon Chili Sauce also has a great recipe section on their website.  This is a great place to go if you need some ideas on how to use it.  There is a stuffed pepper recipe and also a chuck roast recipe that I am eyeing and plan on making soon too!  

If you want to purchase your own Chameleon Chili Sauce it is available directly from their website for $6 a jar.  You can also purchase this at the Whole Foods in Tulsa, OK if you live in the area.

Krill Oil #Giveaway 5/10 CLOSED



Everest Nutrition offers a product that is new to me.  They offer a Cold Pressed Antarctic Krill Oil Supplement.  Krill oil is made from krill.  Krill are little crustaceans.  I would say they pretty much look like little shrimp.  Everest Nutrition offers only the freshest Kill oil that is delivered right to your door.  The Krill oil is in what is called a Caplique.  What is that?  It reduces fishy burps from the supplement.  It also keeps you from getting fishy breath from the supplement.  The Caplique is great because it keeps the oil fresher.  

Where does Krill Oil come from?  The oil comes from krill from Antarctica.  This region is known for it's clear and pure waters.  This is important because it then makes sure you are getting pure krill oil.  Krill Oil is high in DHA too.  This is just another reason that these are great supplements.

Why do you need Krill though?  There are a number of benefits to taking Krill Oil Supplements.  They are very high in Omega-3's.  This is said to make your body healthy.  It can help strengthen your hearts, alleviate some joint pain, lower your cholesterol and more!  

I just started taking Krill Oil from Everest Nutrition and feel the difference a little bit in my joints. I am excited to see the long term affect from taking the Krill Oil over a longer period of time.  Have you tried Krill Oil Supplements?  You can learn more about the Krill Oil from Everest Nutrition and purchase it by visiting their website.

Toy State Review



My kids love Toy State cars and trucks.  My kids are 6 and 8 and they could play with these for hours.  My 6 year old is a girl too and she loves these interactive toys.  Toy State offers a great selection of vehicles for all different ages.  They offer vehicles that include 007 cars, CAT trucks, and more!  Many of them have lights, sounds, remote controls and more.  This makes playing with these toy vehicles so much fun!  




CAT Rev It Up
These fun trucks are push powered.  These are great for children age 3 and up.  This is easy for even little kids to do.  You simply pull it back and let the car go.  The trucks do not take batteries.  These are available in a Dump Truck and  Loader style.  We received the Dump Truck CAT truck and my kids love it.  They love getting down on the trucks level and playing with it.  They even like to load the back of the truck up and drive it around like that.  These are a great toy that entertains my kids and it retails for just $9.99.




Road Rippers Hatchbacks
These are so cute.  This one is my 6 year old daughter's favorite so far.  This is the cutest little car.  These are perfect for 3 years of age and up.  These are little custom cars that are really fun.  My kids favorite thing to do with this car is to open the hatchback up and then they get to rock out to some fun music.  This fun toy vehicle is available in Mini and Ford Fiesta style.  My daughter loves the cute Mini we received.  She sees them on the road all of the time and always says "Mom, look at the cute little car."  These Road Rippers Hatchbacks retail for $9.99 also.  




Road Rippers Blaze Craze
This is my 8 year old son's favorite out of all of these fun toy cars.  This one is fun because it is a remote control car.  I personally love that the controls are simple enough for kids to use.  This makes it loads of fun for him and he doesn't get frustrated with it.  These cars are so neat because they are clear.  They flash with fun lights and they also play some great tunes.  We received the For Mustang model of this one.  It's is almost a neon orange color that is really fun!  My son truly enjoyed playing with this car!  The Road Rippers Blaze Caze retails for $16.99 and it is appropriate for children 4 years and up.

These are just some of the great toy vehicles that Toy State has to offer.  You can learn more about their products by visiting their website.  You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.  You can purchase these toys at Toys R Us, Wal-Mart, Target, Amazon.com and Kmart.
