I love candles – I worked at Yankee Candles for a number of years and have a big list of favorite candles.  I recently found Soy Serenity Candles – which I really like. What I like about Soy Serenity is that it is the ONLY 100% Vegetable Eco Friendly Clean Burning Candle (85% Less Soot). Soy Serenity premium candles only use the finest eco cotton wicks and spa quality aromas.

I received two candles Noni Fruit which is a crisp and exotic blend of Asian pear, bitter melon and lemon verbena twisted with a hint of ginger.  I loved this great combination of fruit and ginger.

The second one I tried was Sage & Citrus which was a spa-inspired blend of sparkling citrus and cleansing herbs for a natural lift. It had a nice clean smell.

Soy Serenity Candles are eco-friendly, non toxic, dye free and burn 2 x longer than compared paraffin candles.  The candles are also hand made here in the US.  Soy Serenity Candles have a lot of great scents – like Apple Crumble, Berry Tangerine, French Vanilla and many more. The candles also come in a variety of sizes.

I think Soy Serenity Candles would make a great gift for any celebration. If you would like to purchase your own Soy Serenity Candle for either a gift or for yourself you can do so HERE.  You can also connect with Soy Serenity Candle on Facebook.Kaisy1“Disclosure of Material Connection: I received one or more of the products or services mentioned above for free in hope that I would mention it on my blog.

collagen-peptide-powder-supplement1

I recently tried a new product called Élavonne’s Amino Collagen C with Hyaluronic Acid. It is an amazing anti-aging supplement that replenishes your body with the collagen you need to keep youthful-looking hair, nails, and skin.  I like that it is all natural and that it has no preservatives.

Élavonne’s Amino Collagen is a powder that you can mix with water or your favorite drink. I have just started using Élavonne’s Amino Collagen and have found that it does mix easily.  It really doesn’t have any flavor.

I did some research before I started taking Élavonne’s Amino Collagen to find out what it should do.  This is a product that will work from the inside out.  I have taken other products with Amino Collagen and have been happy with the results.  This should help Improves skin smoothness & firmness, Prevention of deep-wrinkle formation, Improves skin moisture level and retention and Strengthens new hair and nail growth. I have also read that it should help with joint pain.  I am looking forward to the results.

Élavonne also carries a number of other natural and organic products for your skin. If you would like to purchase Élavonne’s Amino Collagen C with Hyaluronic Acid or any of there products you can do so HERE. Connect with them on Facebook.

IMG_1306I recently found a really cute site that has stuffed GIANTmicrobes.  They are an educational toy company that originally was meant to help educate children about germs and microbes, but have now become popular for all kinds of people like teachers, doctors, college students, even veterinarians!

They have such cute stuffed microbes.  I have the hay fever GIANTmicrobes. I have had hay fever since I was pretty young and thought this was cute.

I think these would be great for a child and help them understand what hay fever is or chickenpox.  The GIANTmicrobes have a little card on them that tells about it.  It is a great way to learn a bit more about why you might not be feeling very good or can’t stop sneezing.

GIANTmicrobes was founded in 2002 they wanted to product unique and interesting gifts.  They have all kinds of GIANTmicrobes like cancer, chickenpox, pimple and many more. The newest releases are plasma, liver cell, even heart cell that beats when you press it!

I love wall vinyl graphics ~ they make decorating a room so easy.  VinylDisorder has so many options of wall decals it is hard to decide what to get. Recently I moved into an new apartment with Rex and his son Joey.  I wanted to get something for his wall so I let him pick what he wanted.  IMG_1679Joey loves to skateboard and his Dad says he is pretty good at it.  So he was so happy to find this Skateboarder for his wall.  Rex and him put it up one in just half an hour.  The nice thing about Wall Vinyl is that it is easy to put and easy to take down.  You just peel it off the backing and smooth it on the wall to put it up.  You just peel it off to remove the decal and put it back on the backing to reuse later. It doesn’t damage the wall when it is removed.

I loved VinylDisorder because it has such a wide variety of decals ~ they have something for kids, boys, girls, kitchen and even your man cave.  They have nature, tree, family, people, sports and wall quote decals.  There is something for everyone.  VinylDisorder also have decals for your car and stickers.  You can even custom design your own custom text.

VinylDisorder is a bit different than most decal companys they make your decal when you order it.  They can make large quantities and get them to you fast.  They use only high quality vinyl that has 6+ years manufacturer rated outdoor life.  You can use them on your car, boat, trailer, bike, mailbox or just about any smooth surface.

If you are looking to update a room in a flash or just want to spruce up a room you can find what you need at VinylDisorder you can purchase you decals HERE. You can also connect with Vinyldisorder on Facebook.

Vinyldisorder has offered to send one of my readers a decal of their choice up to 23″.  You must be 18+ and have a US shipping address.  Leave a comment on what decal you would like.

any sharp

Don’t you hate when you go to use a knife or scissors and the blade is dull?  I found one of the best sharpeners around.  It is from AnySharp and is their AnySharp Plus.

anysharpplus_carbon_layoutI just love this sharpener.  The best or my favorite thing is that it has PowerGrip suction cup base. You can attach it to any smooth surface. Then when you are sharping you knife or scissor it stays put. You can put it on the counter or on the wall – what ever works best for you.

The second thing I like about this sharpener is that you hardly use any pressure so I can do it myself. Plus there is less of a chance of getting cut.

The optimum angle to sharpen a good quality steel knife is 20 degrees. AnySharp Plus is pre-set at 20 degrees to give a perfect edge every time. Getting a consistent angle with a sharpening stone is a skilled job, but AnySharp allows anyone to get professional results without any training at all.

The AnySharp Plus is small and easy to store in a drawer or attached to the fridge.  You will love this new kitchen tool and wonder how you did without it.  This also helps you save money ~ in the past when a knife or scissors was dull, I throw it away. Now I can sharpen it and use it again.

You can purchase your own AnySharp Plus online HERE and give your knives new life. If you would like to connect to AnySharp on Facebook. Here is a code SEP20 you can use till Sep 30, 2013 to get 20% off your purchase.

P-UP-plux-OXI-Insiders-290x1

I love when one of my chores becomes easier.  I found these UltraPacks from Purex that make doing the laundry so much easier ~ no mess, no spills and no heavy bottles.  IMG_1677This little packet contains a complete load’s worth of concentrated liquid laundry detergent.  You just throw this little packet of laundry detergent in the washer ~ the packet dissolves quickly.  I use cold water most of the time and it works great.

This is great for Rex’s son Joey too – he really seems to have problems remembering how much soap to put in a load of wash – now all he has to do is throw one UltraPack in and then he is done.

IMG_1640Purex makes the UltraPacks in 3 different formulas – Mountain Breeze, Free & Clear and the one I am using is Plus Oxi which has Oxi and Zout Stain Remover in it.  So if I forget to spray a stain – this will help get it out. My clothes look great.

I love that the Purex UltraPacks are so small and concentrated. Its great that there is no plastic or cardboard container to recycle. In that small plastic bag there are 18 UltraPacks.  I will be using Purex UltraPacks from now on.  I love them!

 

You can found Purex Products at almost all grocery and retail stores like Target and Walmart. You can connect with Purex on Facebook.

If you would like to try Purex UltraPacks I have a 3 coupons I would be happy to share.   You must be 18+ and have a US mailing address.  Leave a comment on one of your tough things to clean and how you clean it.

logo_sierrasageI have developed a spot on the top of my left foot – the doctor said it is like a birthmark and it may grow – the problem is it is itches and is dry. I recently started using a product from Sierra Sage.  There products are 100% natural.DSC4oz This is the one I am using called Dry Skin Daily Skin Hydrating Salve.  I tried it because it is  100% natural.  I am using it because it helps stop the itch.

Dry Skin Care is infused with a high concentration of Calendula Flowers and 5 additional delicate flowers to create a gentle but effective soothing agent for problematic dry (hot, itchy, flaky) skin and rashes. Calendula Flowers offer additional anti-fungal, anti-yeast and anti-microbial properties while healing and soothing. This seems to really help the itch. I know the spot will never go away but if it stops itching then I am happy.

That’s why Sierra Sage is a bit different in how they make their products ~ Through their infusion process, they work to extract all of the medicinal value from the herbs making their formulas highly concentrated and rich in healing properties.

Sierra Sage have a number of great products for to use everyday, when you spend a lot of time outdoor, for Mom and Baby and Southern Butter Products. If you would like to purchase some products from Sierra Sage you can go HERE.  You can connect with Sierra Sage on Facebook.

My Review:

I love to read cookbooks.  I buy them and look through the recipes like they are book.  I found out my oldest sister Linda and my Mom both do the same thing.  So when I got Pork Chops & Applesauce I was so happy to see th where stories with most of the recipes.  I really loved reading all the different stories and how the recipes went with them.  One of the recipes I am going to try is the Braised Beef Tips and Mushrooms.   How to be a magician and have dinner ready when you walk in the door.  The crock pot and a bit of planning.  I am sure you will love Pork Chops & Applesauce ~ you find some great stories along with some good, family friendly recipes.
