By now if you have been reading my blog for any amount of time you know I love natural and organic products. I also love to use Argan Oil.  I think it is like an miracle elixir.  It can be used in so many different ways.  I recently have been using VoilaVe™ Organics 4oz Argan Oil which is 100% Organic.  It contains only one ingredient ~ 100% Pure USDA & ECO Certified Organic Moroccan Argan Oil- No Fillers. The Highest Quality Argan Oil Found Anywhere.

What I like is that the Argan Oil can be used for many things including the following:

  • Damaged hair making it softer and more managable
  • Dry Scalp
  • Anti-aging and wrinkle reduction
  • Deep skin hydration
  • Good on psoriasis or eczema
  • Helps cracked or dry skin
  • Good for your nails

There are many more things you could use this oil for.  Right now because I have been wearing flip flops and sandals my heels of my feet are starting to get a bit rough.  I have been taking a few drops of  VoilaVe™ Organics Argan Oil in the palm of my hands and then rubbing it into my heels.  I used it a couple days and they look much better. I need to remember to do it about once a week to keep them looking soft.  I also put a small amount in the palm of my hand and apply it to my hair it really helps so it doesn’t look frizzy.
If you are looking for a product that does more than one thing – use VoilaVe™ Organics Argan Oil.  You can purchase it HERE on Amazon.com.

bouqsWho doesn’t love to get flowers.  I just found this place called The Bouqs Co. and they have some great flowers.  They are not like traditional flower services – they own their own flower farm. IMG_0410The flowers are grown in the rich soil of an active volcano.  They are picked when you order them and then packaged and mailed right to your door.

The flowers were so easy to order and you know what you are paying up front. All of the flowers are priced the same way.  The Original is $40 flat fee and has free shipping. The Deluxe is $50 (2 times the flowers as The Original) and The Grand $70 (3 times the flowers as The Original).  I ordered some flowers awhile back for a friend in the hospital and I thought they were going to cost $25 and with all the added fees for shipping and having it delivered on the day I wanted they ended up costing me over $50 and they were not as nice as the ones The Bouqs offers.IMG_0412 I know where I am getting flowers from next time.

The pictures are from the flowers I ordered and they came yesterday. They were well packaged and were easy to take out of the box.  They were a bit flat after their journey from South America ~ but I knew they would open up once they got into some water.

I ordered  4th of July Flowers – Red, White and Bouq!  They are perfect way to celebrate America. With the large roses in Red, White and Blue I am all set for the 4th of July! You can still order them today and tomorrow and get them in time for you 4th of July Celebration.  I am so impressed with how big the roses are, they smell wonderful and they look like they are made out of velvet.  When I originally ordered my flowers I thought about getting the Deluxe order – it has 24 roses in it. I am glad I didn’t ~ they never would have fit in the vase I have.

The Red, White and Bouq would make a great hostess gift or maybe a gift for yourself.  You need to order today or tomorrow to have them in time for the 4th of July.  There are lots of other beautiful arrangements that you can order anytime.  You can order them HERE.

I have been lucky ~ I have pretty good skin.  I do have some fine lines, wrinkles and a few spots where my skin tone is uneven.  So I have been reading up on products that have vitamin C in them.  Delfogo RX has a anti-Aging Serum that has 22% Vitamin C in it.IMG_0115 It is called DelfogoRx Professional Vitamin C 22% Anti-Aging Serum.  The benefits of this product are :

  • Help reduce the signs of aging
  • Diminish sun damage
  • Increase skin firmness and elasticity
  • Protect skin against future damage

I really like the DelfogoRx Professional Vitamin C 22% Anti-Aging Serum it is easy to use. It comes in a bottle with an eye dropper and you just put 2 or 3 drops in your hand and then blend into a your face and neck.  I found a little goes a long way. I use it in the morning and at night.

There are three key ingredients in DelfogoRx Professional Vitamin C 22% Anti-Aging Serum.

1. Vitamin C (22%) ~ is an essential nutrient for humans.  As you age you lose vitamin C. Now you can replace it with DelfogoRx Professional Vitamin C 22% Anti-Aging Serum.  It will help spur the production of collagen which gives skin elasticity and help prevent wrinkles from forming. Vitamin C also hlep reverse age-related damage to skin including discoloration and fine lines.  It will also help protect your skin against future damage.

2. Ferulic Acid (0.8%) ~ is a powerful antioxidant as well as for boosting the skin’s ability to defend itself against environmental damage.  It helps protects against UVA, UVB and infrared radiation.

3. Vitamin E (2%) ~ is a fat-soluble antioxidant that is essential for maintaining healthy skin.  It can help reduce scars and help the healing process.  It also helps promote regeneration of the skin.  It has been shown to prevent and repair free radical damage in skin cells.

All 3 of these ingredients work together to give you younger looking skin by revitalizing tired dull skin and restoring a healthy youthful glow.   I have been using this for a few weeks and have seen improvement in my skin.  More even color and a little more fresh looking. I really like DelfogoRx Professional Vitamin C 22% Anti-Aging Serum and will continue to use it.  If you would like to purchase your own product you can do so HERE.

Mom's Pie

I really am not a  really a fruit lover. So when my Mom would make pies I was never to excited about it. I remember when my big brothers were living at home Mom would make 4 or 5 pies at a time.  She would make apple or peach with a couple different toppings and everyone would love them except me.  The pie I liked the best was her raspberry pie. I could not wait until she made it.  We would pick the raspberries from the bushes in the garden and soon the pies would be baking.  IMG_0379Even now when I go back to Wisconsin someone makes a raspberry pie for me to enjoy a piece of!

 

I haven’t had raspberry pie in a long time.  I had to have my sisters hunt up the recipe for me.  What made me think of the pie was this  ProFreshionals Cut Fruit Bowl that is exclusively available at Bed Bath and Beyond and is made by Good Cook.  What is so great about this bowl is that it is two bowls in one.  The top bowl has holes in the bottom so the juice drains out into the bottom bowl.  This will keep your fruit fresh longer.  It has a snap on lid and the bowl will hold 7 quarts!  You can keep cut up melon or fruit salad in your fridge for easy snacking. It’s also great for holding all my berries!

Steps for pie

 

 

I made my pie using raspberries, blueberries and marionberries mixed. I wish I would have had a few more berries but it still tasted great!

Berry Pie

4 cups berries (might need a few more need enough to fill the crust)

2/3 cup sugar

1/4 cup flour or wondra

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp cinnamon

1 can Evaporated Milk

1 pie crust

Place the berries in the pie crust.  Then mix the rest of the ingredients together.  Pour over the top of the berries.  Bake pie at 400 degrees for about 35-45 minutes.  Let cool.  You can also use apples or peaches for this recipe.

Now doesn’t that look good?  I loved the smell in the house while it was baking. You could really smell the cinnamon.  I did cheat a bit and used a already made pie crust but it still tasted great!

 

You can purchase your own ProFreshionals Cut Fruit Bowl exclusively at Bed Bath and Beyond.  Good Cook has also offered one of my readers the opportunity to win one. Prizes ship from Good Cook and can take 8-10 weeks after the contest ends, unless otherwise stated.  You must be 18+ US. Leave a comment on what your favorite fruit recipe is.  Extra entry for each way that you follow Kaisy Daisy’s Corner. Giveaway ends July 16, 2014.  Enter daily for more chances to win.

Enter the gorgeous Devon, who also makes the first cut of the modeling contest. Devon seems like the perfect new best friend, but can their friendship survive the competition? Throw in a new boy, jealousy and loyalty issues, and insults from hair stylists. How’s a girl to deal?

Amazon * Barnes & Noble * Smashwords

Excerpt

The competition was for girls between the ages of thirteen and seventeen, but it felt like Ericka, Tori, and I were the youngest ones there. I only saw a couple of girls from school, and the lineup looked more like something you’d see on a music video set. All the girls were gorgeous, and they had these curvy womanly bodies. I looked like a skinny little kid next to them. The first girl walked out, and I heard the judges say she “owned the runway,” and, “walked like a gazelle.” I was starting to feel ill. I wasn’t sure which way it was going to come, but I knew I had to find a bathroom — fast. I started to get out of line when Ericka grabbed my wrist.

“It’s almost time,” she said. A tiny bit of spit flew out of her mouth and hit my cheek.

I wasn’t sure why she was so intent on me going through with it, but she had a death grip on my arm, so I didn’t have much of a choice. Her number was called and she walked out to the stage. One of the other girls said she walked like a kid with sand bucket stilts on her feet, but she came back with a smirk on her face like she knew she’d get chosen.

“They said they had never seen such long legs,” she said.

Tori was next.

“She walks like a gorilla at feeding time,” said the girl behind me. I went next, and I tried to focus on not tripping over my feet. My mom’s pumps had a rubber sole on the bottom, which probably wasn’t the brightest idea seeing as my shoes were making squeaking noises as I walked. I was so nervous I couldn’t stop smiling as I walked. I looked like the plastic clown who blows up balloons with its mouth at the Pizza Palace. When I got to the end of the runway, I tried to cross my feet to turn like the other girls had, but I over rotated and ended up doing a full spin which made my kilt fan out and gave the mall walkers a view of my blue underpants. I tried to act like it was intentional and did an extra turn. One of the judges put her hand up to stop me, and I held my breath as she started to speak.

bounceI love when my clothes smell fresh and clean out of the dryer and out of my closet. I think there is nothing better than drying your hair with a towel and the towel still smells like it did out of the dryer.  Have you everIMG_0376 tried Bounce Burst?  Bounce Burst is a in-wash scent booster for your laundry and so easy to use.  You just add some some of these fun little bursts or pellets into your washer before adding your clothes.  Then you just wash like normal.  Bounce Burst is safe to use in standard or HE washers and will dissolve in any water temperature selected for your laundry.

Bounce Burst comes in  an outdoor fresh scent.  It is smells great!  What I like about Bounce Burst is that you decide how much goes into your wash a lot or a little.  I fill the lid of the container normally.  My house even smells good when I use Bounce Burst.  The scent is washed into your clothes so a couple weeks later when you take your clothes out of the closet or a drawer it still has the nice outdoor fresh scent.

I also like to use Bounce dryer sheets.  They also come in the Outdoor Fresh Scent so you can have it in the washer and dryer. Dryer sheets help soften clothes, control static and repel pet hair and lint.  What is great about bounces dryer sheets is that they have a time-release technology that makes them last up to 30 days.  Dryer sheets are not just for your dryer.  I have one under my seat in the car, in a couple of my drawers and also in the hall closet.  It helps keep all of them smelling good. Using the dryer sheets are a lot cheaper than using plug-ins.  They can help scent your house any where you need a bit of freshness.

You can find Bounce products at nationwide at your favorite store.
