Rituals of Dao Gift Set

The holidays are coming and with that comes added stress! It's the perfect time to remember to be good to ourselves. Even small little ways make a difference. I received this Rituals of Dao gift set from Tryazon and Rituals to review and I have to say it's a nice way to pamper yourself.

My small set came with shower gel, shampoo, body cream, and shower oil. The scent is calming and quite nice. I do wish it had included conditioner but otherwise I was very happy with it. The shower oil was perfect for using to shave my legs.

This would make a great gift for anyone for the holidays. Rituals does have a variety of gift sets in different scents. They offer small, medium, and large sets and also gift sets for the men in your life.

Sambucol Back to School & Healthy Party

I recently hosted a Sambucol Back to School & Healthy Party courtesy of Sambucol and Tryazon. They sent several varieties of their Black Elderberry products to share with my guests. Sambucol provides strong immune system support and going into cold and flu season and all the germs that will be floating around we need to be as protected as we can. Sambucol products offer some of the best protection nature has to offer.

We had a great time celebrating the end of summer. ( I must admit I'm sad it's over and may still be in denial.) The party was fun and we learned a lot. Be sure to visit Sambucol and find out more about their great products.

Save the Day Seasonings Tryazon Party

Save the Day Seasonings

I was lucky enough to get chosen to host a Save the Day Seasonings party via Tryazon. I love to experiment in the kitchen so this was extra exciting for me to try some new seasonings and share with friends and family.


Save the Day Seasonings are very versatile because you can use them for dips/spreads, salad dressing, sauces, pasta, soups, meats, veggies, stir-fry, and marinades. Their seasonings are all natural, no MSG, Gluten-Free, no additives, fillers, dyes or preservatives.

The Real Dill was a hit mixed with sour cream for dipping veggies. I think it would also be great to use the next time I make salmon. 

We used the Italian seasoning with a bit of olive oil to roast potato wedges. They turned out crispy and tasty! The Italian would be perfect of course to use in sauce for making spaghetti or lasagna. 

I had this dish going a bit before guests arrived because it does take a bit longer since it's a bit like a stew/chili type dish. The Mexican seasoning kicked it up a notch for this recipe. I usually just toss in whatever I have in my cupboard but thought this would be the perfect excuse to try the Mexican seasoning. It was delicious and warm for a cool fall day. 

We really enjoyed sampling the different seasonings and while we didn't get a chance to try them all at the party I did send samples home with the guests. We have also tried a few at home and have enjoyed every one we've tried so far. The Alvi's Incredible is great on eggs. The Strong A.R.M. is so good on grilled pork chops. The Jamaican and Indian are perfect for chicken dishes. 

Be sure to check out all the seasonings Save the Day Seasonings has to offer! They will be sure to add great flavor to any of your dishes.

Post-it Bulletin/Dry Erase Board Review via Shoplet

This Post-it Bulletin/Dry Erase Board was claimed immediately by my oldest two boys. They hung it on their bedroom door in about two minutes. I love that it was super easy to put up and when or if they want to move it, there will be no marks left on the door. 

The dry erase board works great for work and school schedules and of course some messages back and forth amongst all the boys. They really like that the it does not need pins or tacks. No worries about any falling on the floor and getting stepped on. The only thing that could have made this any better is if it included a mini eraser. The boys just grab a tissue to wipe it off so that works fine.

This would be great for an office, classroom, kitchen, or anywhere you need to communicate with others or even just notes for yourself. Shoplet has a wide range of other Post-it products too.

The Healing Power of Essential Oils - Book Review

The Healing Power of Essential Oils by Eric Zielinski, D.C. has over 150 recipes and remedies using essential oils. This book is full of so much information on oils and how they can help us lead a healthier life. I have learned so much by reading through this book. Some of the recipes included are for a gardener's hand cream, deet-free bug spray, a morning motivation roll-on, and an anti-anxiety spray. It also has sections for using essential oils with your animals, women's health, athlete's, and basic around the house uses.

I received this book from Blogging For Books for this review. Opinions are my own.

The 10-Day Belly Slimdown - Book Review

The 10-Day Belly Slimdown is the first book I've read by Dr. Kellyann Petrucci. I have to admit I'm very intrigued by this book. I did a quick read through of it and found it to be very informative. This 10 day slim down actually doesn't seem that daunting compared to some books I've read. Most of the recipes in the book sounded good and also most of the ingredients would be easily found where I shop. The book does include daily meal plans and 80 recipes.

Gojo Purell Product Review via Shoplet

Shoplet offers a wide selection of Gojo products. They include hand soaps, hand sanitizers, and surface disinfectants to name a few. 

It is that time of year and this Purell Advanced Instant Hand Sanitizer Gel is sure to come in handy to help keep the germs away! The bowl comes with 25 1 oz bottles. There are 4 different colors included and you can attach them to your keys, backpack, or purse so you always have it with you. 

Perfect for on the go!

Purell Professional Surface Disinfectant comes in a Fresh Citrus Scent. I have been using this on my counters, light switches, door knobs, and around our dog's food dish area. Any way I can help keep the germs away I will do it! It has the Purell Touch Technology which means no rinse required around food contact surfaces. It's tough enough to kill 99.99% of germs on surfaces including the cold & flu virus and the Norovirus.

We absolutely love this Purell Healthy Soap in the Soothing Cucumber scent! It smells so good. It is gentle on your hands and doesn't leave them feeling dry. As many times a day as I wash my hands this is very important! 

The Purell Healthy Soap also comes in a Clean and Fresh scent. It is also a lovely scent and keeps your hands feeling soft while getting rid of the dirt and germs. 

The Fresh Botanicals scent of this Purell Healthy Soap makes me think of spring. All of the hand soaps we tried had just the right amount of scent so that they were not overwhelming. I liked all three and the combination of knowing that dirt and germs are washed away and my skin was left soft and not dried out makes me happy.
