Vitamin C Serum 20% Review!

Hello Friends!

Today I have some reviews to share with you about some AMAZING products! First up- La Beaute Pure Vitamin C Serum!

Isn't the bottle so cute? I just love the design!

So I am sure your first question probably is- What the heck is Vitamin C Serum!? Well, good thing I am here to tell you! The Vitamin C Serum is an amazing product that helps plump skin cells AND it protects and restores your skin. Pretty awesome, huh!? I thought so too! Some more amazingly AWESOME things about this product are- it lasts for 12 months, it is NOT tested on animals, and it is CERTIFIED organic ingredients! 

So, the next question you may have? How do you use it? I have the answer for you! There are 4 simple steps to using the Vitamin C Serum:

Step One: Clean your face!

Step Two: Apply a small amount to your fingertips!

Step Three: Apply to your face and neck and make sure to avoid contact with your eyes!

Step Four: Allow it to fully absorb before applying moisturizer! 

Step Five: See results and fall in love!

Pretty simple, huh? I have used this product for a few weeks now and I have been LOVING it! My skin feels great and I love knowing that my skin is being protected and restored! What a GREAT feeling!

Thanks for reading this and I hope you have a wonderful day!

#FastAdvil for #FastRelief

Hi friends! Happy Tuesday!

Today I am writing about some awesome samples I received from crowdtap.com. Never heard of the site? It is pretty simple. Create an account, answer questions, share photos, complete tasks, and apply for samples and to host a party! PLUS- at the end of each month you are entered into a drawing for some gift cards! That's pretty awesome, right? So, this time, I received some Advil from Crowdtap.

At first I was skeptical because let's face it- we hear about different pain relievers multiple times a day from all different kinds of ads. I was pleasantly surprised with Advil! I had a headache so I decided to give it a try. Within about 20 minutes my headache was gone and I was able to carry on with my day! Awesome, right!? 

Before & After- I was pretty happy that headache was gone!

I would definitely recommend these to anyone who needs some quick and effective pain relief! Head on over to your local retailer (such as Walmart) and look for the Advil in the white box!

I recommend you stock up on some! I still have some samples and coupons, so if you are interested, drop a comment below so I can get in contact with you! I would love to mail you some! :) Remember- I received these samples for free from Crowdtap, but these opinions are completely my own!

I hope you have a wonderful day my little darlings!

Stay tuned for a giveaway update!

Crowdtap Sample & Share: Ragu

Hello friends!


So I got some awesome Ragu FREE from Crowdtap.com and I wanted to share with you, because I made some yummy food! I made Chicken Parmesan :)

Free coupon, say whaaa!?

All the main ingredients- bread crumbs, Ragu, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chicken!

Put bread crumbs (I like Panko) and 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 15 minutes, stirring twice, until golden brown :)

Buy chicken cutlets or cut your chicken into cutlets. Use flour (I like to estimate, just fill the bowl halfway!), 4 eggs, and your bread crumbs. Cut excess fat off chicken. Dip into flour and shake off any excess. Dip into eggs, then into bread crumbs. Place on baking sheet. Repeat with all chicken cutlets :)

Bake at 450 for approximately 12 minutes. It depends on your oven, so just make sure the inside is cooked. (That means NO pink!)

Add Ragu sauce on top (I like to spoon it on!) & mozzarella cheese. I like to add basil leaves too, but you don't have to! Broil for about 2 minutes until cheese is melted. 

ENJOY!

I hope you like that yummy recipe! It is one of my FAVES! Serve it up with some green beans and TA-DA! Dinner is served :)

Have a good evening loves!

o.b. Pro Comfort Tampons

Hello friends!

Today I wanted to share with you about some tampons I recently received from Smiley360. Smiley360.com is a website where you can connect with brands, attend twitter parties, and try products for free in return of your honest review! Pretty awesome, right?!
Just a warning, if you get freaked out by period, tampons, or anything of that sort, this post may be TMI for you!
So, the product I received this time was some o.b. Pro Comfort tampons!

In case you didn't know, these tampons do not have an applicator, which was new to me! I literally got these tampons at the most perfect time. Yep, I started my period a couple days after getting them. I usually am an applicator gal, but I decided I would give these a try.

You know, I didn't mind them, but I think I still like applicator tampons the most. I feel like applicators are easier to insert and plus, my hand doesn't have to get too close (if ya know what I mean!). None the less, these tampons worked great! I didn't have any leaking issues nor did I have any issues with how it fit or went in. They work great! If you don't mind using a tampon without an applicator, then these bad boys are for you! They had clear instructions that came with them and let you know what size is recommended!

They also had a great section on TSS, which is a very serious matter. In case you don't know, TSS is Toxic Shock Syndrome which can have many symptoms including high fevers, headache, feeling faint, a rash, and many other things. If you suspect you have TSS, seek medical attention immediately. And remember ladies, don't use a tampon that isn't right for you. If you have light periods, don't use super plus tampons so it can "stay in longer". Make sure you use the appropriate tampon and avoid TSS at all costs!

I hope you enjoyed learning about this awesome product! Please feel free to drop any questions, comments, or concerns you may have below! I will be sure to answer them or find out the answer for you! If you're interested in smiley360.com, just simply click the link and it will take you to their website!

I hope you have a fabulous Tuesday! Make sure to stay tuned because I may release another  hint this week, or I may do so next week! Dont forget to enter my giveaway here: http://hotmamareviews.blogspot.com/2014/10/vacation-and-surprise.html! Good luck and remember- if it hits 50 entries, I will add a SECOND winner! We are currently at 21, so get sharing!
