The holiday season is always a great time of year to enjoy a glass of wine with friends and family.  What kind of wine do you serve to your holiday guests?  There are so many great options out there.  However, I want to introduce you to some great wines that are reasonably priced, but also taste great.  Barefoot Wines offers an excellent Merlot and Riesling that are perfect for holiday entertaining.




Barefoot Riesling
This is a California wine that is very versatile.  It goes with so many great holiday meals.  It is a light and crisp white wine.  It is a sweet wine.  It is very refreshing.  It's perfect with appetizers too!  This wine has a hint of citrus flavor.  What would you serve Barefoot's California Riesling with?





Barefoot Merlot
This is also a California wine.  It is a dry red wine.  It is also great for holiday meals and entertaining.  This wine is not sweet, but it does have hints of fruit in it.  It is a full bodied wine.  This wine pairs nicely with chicken, beef, and so much more.  

These are just some of the great wines that Barefoot has to offer.  You can visit their website to learn more about them too.  You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.

Herbal Essences Naked Hair Care Set Review and $50 Walmart Gift Card Giveaway 12/30 CLOSED

Disclosure - free sample provided.



I love great hair care products.  I want to tell you about the Herbal Essences Naked Hair Care Set.  I was given the opportunity to order this set from Walmart and then try it out.  This is a 4 piece set.  The set includes a shampoo, conditioner, volumizing souffle, and a dry shampoo.  Have you tried any of these products?  The products contain no dyes, parabens, and are said to leave no residue.





I started out by washing my hair with the Herbal Essences Naked Shampoo.  This did a great job cleansing my hair and leaving it feeling fresh.  The shampoo has a nice fresh fragrance that wasn't overpowering.  The Herbal Essences Naked Conditioner also left my hair smelling great.  The shampoo and conditioner have a pleasant white grapefruit fragrance.  They left my hair soft, shiny, and didn't weigh it down.  My hair felt very clean, but not dry.  These are volumizing products, so they help pump up your locks.  I also used the volumizing souffle after shampooing and conditioning.  This is like a mouse that you apply throughout your hair prior to styling.  It helped add volume.  It didn't leave my hair feeling sticky either.  I was pleased with the results.  




The kit also contains a dry shampoo.  I love this.  I sometimes like to give my hair a break and not shampoo daily.  I find that washing my hair with water can be drying.  This is especially true for me in the Winter.  The Herbal Essences Naked Dry Shampoo is an alternative to shampooing with water.  I simply spray a little in and brush my hair.  It leaves it feeling fresh and clean.  It seems to help get rid of some of the oiliness to my hair.  This is great if you are a busy mom like me.  I don't always have the time to shampoo, condition, and style every single day.  




You can learn more about the Herbal Essences Naked Hair Care Set and order it directly from the Walmart website.  I ordered it and had my kit shipped to the store and it was there within a week.  The entire 4 piece kit is $12.99 from the Walmart website.  I find it to be pretty reasonably priced for hair care products that perform well.  If you try out the kit please come back and tell me what you think!

You can also visit the Herbal Essences website to learn more about their product line.  You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter.

I have always loved the look of Baltic amber jewelry.  It comes in so many color variations and it's just beautiful.  Did you know that it is said to have healing properties too?  It is said that it can be used as a natural pain reliever for things like teething pain, colic, and gas.  This is a completely organic material.  This is really neat.  Baltic amber jewelry is pretty much fossilized sap.  

The Bouncy Baby Boutique offers a wonderful selection of Baltic amber jewelry for both babies and adults.  Their jewelry is hand knotted between each bead.  This makes it so that if it were to break that all the beads don't end up all over.  The jewelry has an easy to use screw clasp.  It is suggested that you remove them while sleeping and of course always use supervision.  They are recommended for children 3 years of age and up.







I received a beautiful baby necklace from Bouncy Baby Boutique.  The color I chose is a beautiful honey color.  The necklace is about 12 to 13 inches.  This is perfect for a little one!  This necklace has the safety clasp and it is simple to put on and take off (for an adult). This necklace retails for $18.99 and can be purchased directly from the Bouncy Baby Boutique.  These make a wonderful gift for a child or even for a mom at a baby shower too!

Nestle Holiday Candy Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.





The holidays always makes me think of candy.  We love to enjoy great holiday candy.  Nestle is always a name that comes to mind when I think about candy for the holiday season.  What is your favorite holiday candy to enjoy?  Nestle offers so many great items.  They offer traditional holiday treats like chocolates, but they also offer some fun and unique items too!





Nestle's candy for the holidays is great for a treat, stocking stuffer, and it can even be added to baking too!  I received some great items that we truly enjoyed.  I have never had the Nestle SweeTart holiday gummies.  These are super cute and taste great.  They are fun for kids and adults. I love that they can be used in things like gingerbread houses too.  These have a great sweet and sour combination of flavors.  They are also reasonably priced too at about $2.49 per package.  These come with fun shapes in the bag that really are fun for kids.  My kids loved the tree, star, bell, and snowman shaped gummies.  What would you use these for?




I also received something that I thought was super neat.  I am just like a big kid when it comes to candy.  I was so excited to try the SweeTart Candy Canes.  I loved SweeTarts as a kid and these flavors are inspired by them!  They offer blue punch, green apple, and cherry.  My personal favorite was the green apple.  What flavor would you want to try?  They are pretty too.  They are multi-colored and they look great on trees.





These are just some of the fun candy options that Nestle offers for the holidays.  They also offer Wonka Pixy Stix Giant Canes, Wonka Nerds and Fun Dip Fantastical Fun Books, Nestle Stocking Stuffer Tins, Wonka Classic Candy Canes, Wonka Pix Stix Powder Filled Candy Canes, Nestle Crunch 1 lb. Bars, Wonka SweeTarts and Spree Tube Filled Mini Candy Canes, and Nestle Assorted Miniatures.  There are so many great candy choices that they offer.  What one would you want to try?  I love that their candy is reasonable too.  These make great stocking stuffers that are under $10. 


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

PomTree Kids - Stuck on Fun Review and #Giveaway 1/15 CLOSED

Disclosure - free sample provided.

My kids love to create things.  They are 6 and 8 and we love to craft.  What kind of crafts do you do with your kids?  Do you ever come across the problem that crafting with kids can be messy?  I want to introduce you to PomTree Kids.  They offer a line of less messy products just for kids that is perfect for crafting.  They are fun for adults though too.  I had just as much fun playing with the PomTree Kids products!  They are more than crafts though because many of them can be played with when they are done with them.   

About PomTree Kids
These are a line of products that encourage imaginative play.  The products they offer combine materials that are safe for children.  The materials consist of foam, paper, and felt.  The neat part is that your child can use their imagination when decorating these crafts.  They provide simple step by step instructions too for the structure.  This is great because it lowers frustration considering that these are for children.  The products contain movable pieces.  This makes it fun for them and provides them with hours of interactive play.






3-D Playtown 
These are more than just a craft kid.  When your child is done constructing and decorating there is so much fun and play that can be done with these. My 6 year old loves to use these and really gets into character.  She will play pretend with the 3-D Playtown sets for hours.  I love that these sets can be constructed with little help from an adult.  My kids were really excited that they can do these pretty much on their own.  There is also no glue, so that means less mess.  It also means no waiting for the glue to dry either.  My kids can be impatient and don't want to wait for glue to always dry.  Some of the fun sets that they offer include Sunnyside Up Market, Sparkle Fun Playhouse, Feathered Friends Post Office, Sweet Sundaes Ice Cream Truck and more!














Sticker Tubs and Playscape Creativity Kits
The Sticker Tubs from PomTree Kids are available in both large and small sizes.  They include foam, felt and paper materials.  My kids love stickers.  They use them to decorate everything.  I have to admit even the walls once in awhile and the table.  However, these stickers provide different textures to create the perfect craft.  They can be used on paper.  My daughter loves to add these to her notebook for school.  What would your child create with these?  The Playscape Creativity Kit was another fun activity.  My kids loved making everything in this kit.  This kit is also glue free!  It comes with the materials you  need to make things like cute critters, bracelets, bookmarks and more.  I love that it comes with great project ideas and easy to follow instructions too.
