Country Crock Kids Thanksgiving Review/Giveaway

December 11, 2011 By Tanya

I was sent several items from Country Crock to review. I received them a few days before Thanksgiving. I was really busy helping my sister with her bakery. She had a ton of cakes and pies to get done for Thanksgiving. Then my daughter got sick…..then, of course, I got sick. Still trying to fight it off. Anyway……That is why this is late. I do apologize to Country Crock. Actually only 1 of the items is Thanksgiving related. The rest can be used anytime. My daughter loved them all.

1)Thanksgiving Place Mat – This is really cute and made very well. My daughter loved using it for her Thanksgiving dinner. It is from Pottery Barn, is no longer available to purchase.

Important Notice: Closing Giveaways

December 3, 2011 By Kelli Leave a Comment

As I mentioned quite some time ago, I now use a plugin called “And the winner is” to help me handle my giveaways. Well, a couple days ago, my site experienced an outage. My host thought the outage was from that plugin, but no other sites seem to have problems with it. So, she has been working with the plugin developer to get it all worked out.

She sent me an email telling me to go ahead and use the plugin again that “you should be fine… I hope” So, I am going to catch up on giveaways VERY soon, but I want to do it when my host is online in case my site goes down, she can bring it back up right away. Since she s about 2 hours behind me, that makes it difficult for us to be here at the same time.

So, thanks for your patience as I try to handle the issues on my site! In the meantime, there are new giveaways being added daily, so don’t get discouraged!

Giveaway: Ottilie and Lulu Clean Skin Face Wipes and Shiny Silky Detangler and Conditioner

August 14, 2011 By Tanya

Giveaway: Ottilie & Lulu Clean Skin Face Wipes & Shiny Silky Detangler & Conditioner

I was sent Ottilie & Lulu Clean Skin Face Wipes and Shiny Silky Detangler & Conditioner for my 11 year old daughter to review. She really liked the fact that this is made just for kids her age. The face wipes cleaned her face really well and did not irritate her skin. Some of the medicated face wipes that I have bought for her out of the store have really irritated her skin. She is only 11 but she does have zits. LOL They smelled pretty good too, not a medicated smell. As for the detangler & conditioner, well it really didn’t help with detangling. My daughters hair is very thick and I have never found anything that helps. Her hair was shiny after using it. I didn’t care for the smell, minty, as I don’t like minty smell, LOL. But she didn’t mind it at all.

Heres what the website has to say:

Ottilie & Lulu Clean Skin Face Wipes

Beautiful skin starts with clean skin. This is the only face you will ever have, so it’s never too early to start taking care of it.

Price: $10.00

Size: 30 Wipes

Description

Moms: Clean Skin Face wipes are specially formulated for tween skin (no salicylic acid) and are the ideal way to help her keep her beautiful, clear skin. The very light scent of rosewater will leave her feeling refreshed.

Good Tween Habits: Everyday, twice-a-day, both in the morning after you brush your teeth and at bedtime after you brush your teeth, gently wipe your skin with a face wipe. Freshen your face with a Clean Skin Face Wipe anytime during your day–after sports or any exercise.

Lift the plastic lid and fold back the seal. Remove 1 wipe, re-seal the package and close the lid. Open the 100% cotton towelette and gently wipe your face in an upward motion being sure to wipe the oily areas around your nose, your forehead, and your hair line.

Promise yourself to cleanse your face at least twice a day.

Ottilie & Lulu Shiny Silky Detangler & Conditioner

This creamy Detangler & Conditioner is great for everyday use on all types of tween hair. Leaves hair looking beautifully shiny with the fresh, clean scent of wild mint.

Price: $14.00

Size: 8 fl oz/236.5 ml

Description

Moms: This creamy Detangler & Conditioner is great for everyday use on all types of tween hair. Avocado and jojoba oils deep condition while aloe protects tween girls’ hair from environmental stress. Our detangler allows you to comb through hair without having to worry about those painful knots. Hair will look perfectly shiny, and the wild mint scent will make hair smell terrific!

Good Tween Habits: After rinsing out Ottilie & Lulu Tween Shampoo & Body Wash, apply Shiny Silky Detangler & Conditioner. Pour into the palm of your hand, rub hands together and smooth all over your hair. Massage your hair and scalp for at least 1 minute. Use fingers to comb through your hair from the front of your scalp to the back of your head and down to the ends of your hair. Rinse. Your hair will feel silky, smooth and smell great. If you have a few fly away strands before you style, dab a little of the conditioner on those pieces. And to get the very last bit our of your bottle, add a drop of water.

Lulu: ”Who needs this fancy stuff? Just wash and go – that’s me!

Ottilie: (with hands on hips) “Just scream and wail; that’s you. When your Mom is brushing your hair and your bedroom window is open, I can hear you from mine. I don’t have those tangles …”

(running her fingers through her own silky hair)

Ottilie: “…and look at the shine.”
