logWhat is your best feature? I think my hair and maybe my eyes are my best features. I have long curly hair with just a very few strands of gray.  I love to try different hair care products to see which ones work the best. I like to use products that are natural. I recently tried a couple different shampoos from Logona Naturkosmetik.IMG_1458 Here are the two I tried.

Repair shampoo Ginkgo ~ this shampoo is for dry and damaged hair. It helps resotres a healthy structure and leaves your hair glossy and good looking when dry.

Volume Shampoo Honey Beer ~ this shampoo is for  fine and brittle hair.  It delivers visible improvement to the volume of your hair.

I really liked both of the shampoos. They had nice thick lather and rinsed easily from my hair. They smelled great while I was using them too.

All of Logona’s products are products without synthetic preservatives and they manufacturing and packaging body care products in an ecologically responsible manner.

Logona’s has all kinds of personal care products for men, women and children if you would like to purchase some of the great products you can do so HERE.  You can also stay connected with them on Facebook.

IMG_1462Do you like to snack on chips?  I found some great tasting chips that are good for you.  They are made by The Better Chip.  Why are they The Better Chip?  Here are a few reasons:

  • All Natural
  • Gluten Free
  • Non-GMO
  • Made with fresh ingredients
  • Made in a completely nut-free environment
  • Vegan friendly (except for Sweet Onions with
    White Cheddar seasoning)
  • Made on a line dedicated to only tortilla products

They come in 5 great flavors including:

  • Fresh Corn with Sea Salt – made with fresh corn kernels
  • Jalapeno with Sea Salt – fresh jalapenos are added to the chips
  • Spinach & Kale with Sea Salt – the chips are green made with fresh spinach and Kale
  • Sweet Onion with White Cheddar – my favorite made with fresh sweet onions
  • Red Pepper with Salsa Fresca – stuffed with chunks of fresh red pepper and a dusting of salsa fresca

My favorite is the Sweet Onion with White Cheddar but they all had great flavor and lots of crunch. Even the Spinach & Kale chips were good. I was a bit nervous about trying them but I really liked them.  I like The Better Chip  plain but they certainly would be good with dip or salsa.  I think they would be a great snack for tailgating or watching the big game be it football, basketball or hockey!

You can find Better Chips at many local stores like Fred Meyers if they aren’t in your area yet keep checking.  You can buy them online at HERE at Amazon.com.

cover34492-mediumDescription

What if the perfect match is a perfect surprise?

Honor Holland has just been unceremoniously rejected by her lifelong crush. And now—a mere three weeks later—Mr. Perfect is engaged to her best friend. But resilient, reliable Honor is going to pick herself up, dust herself off and get back out there…or she would if dating in Manningsport, New York, population 715, wasn’t easier said than done.

Charming, handsome British professor Tom Barlow just wants to do right by his unofficial stepson, Charlie, but his visa is about to expire. Now Tom must either get a green card or leave the States—and leave Charlie behind.

In a moment of impulsiveness, Honor agrees to help Tom with a marriage of convenience—and make her ex jealous in the process. But juggling a fiancé, hiding out from her former best friend and managing her job at the family vineyard isn’t easy. And as sparks start to fly between Honor and Tom, they might discover that their pretend relationship is far too perfect to be anything but true love….

About the Author

kristanhigginsphotobigwKristan lives with her family in a small Connecticut town that boasts a wonderful library, a great agricultural fair, a really good ice cream stand and not much else. She is the mother of two lovely kids and the wife of a brave firefighter who is, perhaps more importantly, a fantastic cook. Pets include a cheerful Lab mutt, two cats and the occasional, short-lived beta fish.

Previously a copywriter, Kristan began writing fiction when her children graced her life with simultaneous afternoon naps. Writing, she found, was infinitely more satisfying than folding laundry, and so began her first novel. Kristan holds a BA in English from the College of the Holy Cross, which enables her to identify dangling participles and quote many great novels.

Kristan and her crew spend as much time as possible at the family home on Cape Cod, where they shiver in the Atlantic, ride bikes, swat horseflies and don’t catch any fish.

 

My Review

I really have liked all the books I have read by Kristan Higgins. The Perfect Match was no different. Honor Holland has had a crush on Brogan since she was nine years old.  They were friends with benefits until one day things changed. Honor had gone to the doctor and he mentioned that she was getting old (35) and might want to think about having babies before she got too old.  So Honor decided to ask Brogan to marry her.  He said she was like a old baseball glove – always there when you needed them – but you didn’t need them all the time.  Honor was heartbroken.  Then her best friend started dating him and they decided to get married!!  Honor was more heartbroken – actually had a cat fight in the bar with her ex-best friend!

She decided that she needed to get back out there and find someone. Her Groggy set her up with Tom a British man who would be departed unless he got a green card. Would Honor be the answer?  Would they marry just so he could stay in the country? Would this make Brogan jealousy? You will need to read The Perfect Match to find out.

coffee

In the northwest you can find a coffee stand on every corner but I like to save that $3 or $4 dollars a cup and make mine at home. There is nothing like a hot fresh cup of coffee and watching a beautiful sunrise from my back porch. So I am always looking for a place to buy great tasting coffee.  I recently found Coffee Bean Direct.  They offer tons of variety of coffee beans and ground actually over 100.IMG_1642  The coffee is roasted within 24 hours of shipping so you know it is fresh. Coffee Bean Direct has flavored coffees and  also 70 variety of teas.

I like a cup or two of coffee in the morning – Rex on the other hand drinks coffee all day long.  He was so happy with the two varieties we received.

Costa Rican Tarrazu – was more for me asl it is a light roast version of the Central American coffees.  I loved how light and smooth it was.

Colombian Supremo – this was Rex’s favorite and the most popular coffee that Coffee Bean Direct has.

They both had good flavor and were easy to drink and I would get both varieties again. I have been looking over the different coffees and have a few more I will have to try. They have great prices and I love they are delivered right to my door.

If you would like to try Coffee Bean Direct you can order HERE and have some great roasted coffee delivered.  You can also connect on Facebook.

mamapngBeing a girl from Wisconsin I love cheese!! I like to add it to just about everything.  I really enjoy Italian cheese.  I love the rich flavors of Parmesan and Romano.  They add so much flavor by using just a little in a recipe.  I was excited to try some great Premium Cheese from Mama Francesca. IMG_1434

Mama Francesca makes the prefect blends of cheese to help make your meal taste better and to keep everyone coming back for more.  They have 6 different flavor combinations that come in easy to use shaker containers including the following:

Audace – Parmesan & Romano

Terzetto– Parmesan, Asiago & Romano

Perfectto – Classic Parmesan this is Rex’s favorite on Friday night pizza.

Fiero – Parmesan & Red Pepper my favorite on everything!

Aromatico – Parmesan, Basil & Oregano yummy on spaghetti.

Pungente – Parmesan & Garlic wonderful on roasted cauliflower or cream of cauliflower soup.

I use Mama Francesca in all of my Italian cooking now.  The combination of flavors are great and they add so much to a meal I never serve a bland meal now.  When we have pizza, salads, spaghetti, lasagna, soups and even bread we now add Mama Francesca Premium Cheeses.  Most  meals you will see a container on the table.

Where can you find Mama Francesca? You can purchase them at lots of local including Kroger, Woodman’s and Walmart. You can also stay connected with Mama Francesca on Facebook.

bioque_main_02

Have you ever wanted to get rid of a wrinkle instantly?  I found a product from Bioque that is called  Pronto that will diminish the appearance of forehead creases, droopy brows, crow’s feet, stress furrows, laugh lines, feathered lips, and even stretch marks and acne scars for up to 12 hours at a time—no needles required. Pronto contains 4% GABA and you will get a highly visible, super quick, 50-90% reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.IMG_1459

I have to say I am sorry I didn’t find Pronto sooner.  I have two spots about my upper lip that have bothered me for years and when I use Pronto – they are reduced.  It is so easy to use – you apply Pronto on clean, dry skin.  Use only a small amount and pat and smooth into the line or wrinkle, wait two minutes for full absorption before applying moisturizers, creams, foundation, or makeup. You may have to apply a second time  for deeper lines or drier skin.  I do need to reapply daily but it makes me feel better seeing the lines disappear.

Bioque has a whole line of skin care products that you may want to try.  You can purchase Pronto or any of the other products HERE.  You can also connect with them on Facebook.

Bioque has offered one of my readers the opportunity to try Pronto themselves.  You must be 18+ and have a US shipping address.  Leave a comment on what other product you might like to try from Bioque.

IMG_1659When Rex and I go on a drive to the coast or Mt. Hood I like to bring snacks that are easy to eat in the car while we are driving and one of my favorite things to bring are Beef Sticks.  I recently tried these great tasting beef sticks from Pap’s Genuine Beef Sticks.  I like that at At Pap’s, they DO NOT use the fillers its just wonderful beefy goodness.

What I liked most about them is they are moist not dry like a lot of beef sticks they also had a great flavor.  Here are 3 out of the 6 flavors I tried.

Mild Beef Stick – it is the original and it may say mild but that doesn’t mean no flavor. It has great flavor and just the right amount of smoke.

Honey Beef Stick – this is one of my favorites. It has a great flavor with just a bit of sweet added to it.

Smokehouse Beef Stick – this was Rex’s favorite.  It had a lot of deep, rich, hickory smoke flavor and just the right amount of seasonings.

If you would like to purchase your own great tasting Pap’s Genuine Beef Sticks you can do so HERE.  You can also connect with them on Facebook.

I have three extra Beef Sticks I would love to send one of my readers – one of each of the flavors above.  You must be 18+ and have a US shipping address.  Go to Pap’s Genuine Beef Sticks and then leave me a comment on what your favorite would be.  Extra entry for following Pap’s Genuine Beef Sticks on Facebook.

eliteSerum_logoHere is a new product from Elite Serum – it is EliteSerumRX. It helps in reducing the depth and appearance of expression lines, those pesky lines that we earn from smiling, laughing, frowning and crying.  Expression lines are the hardest to treat.

I have talked about and used the original EliteSerum, but this one has 2 additional ingredients, SYN®-Coll and Inyline. SYN®-Coll stimulates the collagen synthesis in human fibroblasts. Skin aging and in particular, chronic UV exposure, leads to degenerative changes in skin. IMG_1517Inyline™ Solution, created by Lipotec, brings a novel approach to the cosmetic treatment of expression wrinkles around the eyes. Both of these two ingredients work together to help make your eyes look younger by reducing the wrinkles.

What I like the best is that this EliteSerumRX has a different consistency.  In the past when I have used products around my eyes they feel greasy and look a but wet. This serum blends in and looks natural.  EliteSerumRX also helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and puffiness around the eye.  This is a problem I have had most of my life. With regular application the serum will improve the tone and firmness and restore a youthful looking eye contour.

I liked EliteSerum but I love EliteSerumRX and am glad I get to tell you about it.  I am sure it is a product you will love.  If you would like to purchase EliteSerumRX you can do so HERE.  You can also connect with them on Facebook.

EliteSerumRX has also offered one of my readers a chance to try this fantastic serum to see how you like. You must be 18+ and have a US mailing address.  Leave a comment on what our biggest skin problem is.  Extra entry for following EliteSerumRX on Facebook.
