I love Organic products and I love ice cream ~ and I love Julie’s Organic Ice Cream. Julie’s Organic pure ice cream products are virtually free of pesticides, chemical additives, or genetically engineered ingredients.  They are made right here in Oregon. Julie’s Organic has a whole line of products including ice cream, frozen yogurt and novelties.

I tried some of Julie’s Organic Ice Cream Sandwich and Ice Cream Bars.  What really surprised me other than the great flavor was the wide variety of ice cream bars.

• Vanilla Ice Cream w/Dark Chocolate
• Chocolate Ice Cream w/ Dark Chocolate
• Coffee Ice Cream w/Dark Chocolate
• Blackberry Ice Cream w/Dark Chocolate
• Strawberry Frozen Yougurt
• Mango Passion Sorbet
• Blackberry Sorbet
• Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich

I had the Vanilla Ice Cream w/Dark Chocolate and it was great!  I loved the dark chocolate coating and the nice creamy vanilla ice cream.  For some reason ice cream always reminds me of when I was growing up.  We use to have an ice cream man that would come every couple weeks and once in awhile Mom would get ice cream bars and Julie’s Organic just brought me back to that time.

I also tried the Ice Cream Sandwiches from Julie’s Organic and I loved those also.  The ones I had were a Vanilla Sandwich nice chocolate outside and creamy vanilla inside.  Julie’s Organic also makes a Chocolate Sandwich and a Petite Juliette’s.

If you would like to try some great Organic Ice Cream and Novelties Julie’s Organic is for you.  You can find these great treats locally at many stores including Fred Meyers and Thriftway.

I love granola and eat it with my yogurt almost every day.  I recently tried a great new product called Paleonola  it is a grainless granola filled with nuts, seeds, real fruit and unsweetened coconut. I found Paleonola to be delicious and very filling.  It gave me a burst of energy when I needed it.

Paleonola come in 5 delicious flavors all filled with nuts, seeds and unsweetened coconut each with a unique flavor:

• The Original ~filled with nuts, seeds, real fruit and unsweetened coconut
• Chocolate Fix – the Original but with 100% Cacao sometimes you need a bit of chocolate
• Maple Pancake ~ has raisins and a bit of maple syurp
• Apple Pie ~ dried apples and flax seed make this a tasty treat
• Pumpkin Pie – berries and a signature blend of spice

My favorite is hard to pick because I liked them all – maybe the Pumpkin Pie since Fall is my favorite time of year.  The great thing about Paleonola is that it is all natural.  It does not  contain any wheat, high fructose corn syrup, trans fats, artificial flavors, cholesterol, hydrogenated oils, preservatives, soy or dairy.  It is gluten & vegan friendly. Paleonola fits with my goal of finding products that are healthier and good for you.

If you would like to purchase Palenola you can do so HERE. You can stay connected with Palenola on Facebook and Twitter.

I love to try new face products and I found some great Anti-aging ones from Abbey St. Clare.  What I liked first about Abbey St. Clare is that they want you to become the best you can with out spending to much time or money on the products.  I was able to try a number of different products and I really liked the results.

The Essential Earth Elements Cleanser was one of my favorite cleansers I have used – it was a bit thicker than normal cleansers.  It has a mix of natural Earth clays from Rhassoul, Dead Sea, Pascalite, and Canadian Glacial which help exfoliate and that provide skin repair and revitalizing minerals.  The addition of anti-aging botanical and tea extracts, essential oils, and alpha hydroxy acids to a skin-soothing base of aloe, shea butter, and mango butter revitalizes skin, stimulates new cell growth, shrinks pores, and evens out skin tone. The consistent removal of dead surface cells leads to a healthy glowing complexion.  I really liked this product and used it both in the morning and night.  I think it is a product I will continue to use.

The Ginseng Tonic was also a great product too. It is used to help renew and brighten mature skin (my skin).  Ginseng activates cellular turnover and helps your skin appear more youthful.  I used this twice a day – it is alcohol-free and left my skin feeling soft.

The Intense Line Repair Serum originally this was for use as a night cream but it is a hard working serum that should be used twice a day.   What I liked is that it was very light and soaked into my skin.  I used it for a couple reasons – wrinkles around my eyes and my mouth.  It is a must to use at night as your skin repairs as you sleep.

The last product I used was the Vitamin C Complex Serum.  I have a couple dark blotch on my skin and I would so like to get rid of them or at least lighten them. What I like about the Vitamin C Complex Serum is that it help protect against the damage caused by sunlight.  It also hleps collagen formation to help keep your skin youthful and firm. This should be used daily after cleansing and toning your skin.

Abbey St. Clare has a lot of other skincare, hair and even mineral makeup so make sure you take a look and see what they have.  You can order your own products HERE.  You can also stay connected to Abbey St. Clare on Facebook and Twitter.

Book Blurb:

Girl’s gone bad…for the town’s new golden boy

Maybe opposites don’t always attract. If they did, architect Olivia Sullivan would have run away with bad boy Rafe Russo when they were teenagers. Instead, Olivia has spent ten years dreaming up designs for a life that hasn’t gone the way she planned. Still reeling from her career’s implosion and her father’s death, Olivia thanks her lucky stars for the support of her three lifelong friends. But this good girl is through sitting on the sidelines. When Rafe returns to the beautiful Oregon coast where they grew up, her former flame ignites a new desire. Now Olivia must take a walk on the wild side to show the new deputy that in matters of love…being bad can feel very good.

Freshly back from Afghanistan, rugged ex-Marine and new deputy Rafe is done breaking laws and hearts. He’s always regretted leaving Olivia behind, but now she’s after adventure and he’d better proceed with caution. Because wanting her again might be easy, but fighting for a future together will be his biggest risk yet.

My Review:

I really liked Butterfly Cove. I loved the setting and loved the small town of Butterfly Cove.  Olivia moves back home after losing her job to help her friends open up their yarn shop and also work with them on their cafe and historic house.  When Olivia arrives home she is coming back from the hardware store when she sees an accident and the only why to avoid hitting the children outside the bus is to crash herself.  She ends up getting hurt and the new cop helps her out – who happens to be her high school sweetheart who left her with a broken heart. Butterfly Cove kept me reading till the end.  You will need to see what happens to Olivia after the accident do her and Rafe get back together? I can’t wait till the next book comes out! I can see this would be a great series.

I received a Copy of this book from the author for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for the review, and the review is honest and my responsibility.
