Ateevia Botanica's PRIME Anti-Inflammatory Cream Review/Giveaway

Hey everyone, I have a cool review/giveaway for you. It is from the company Ateevia.com. Here is some product information for you.

Product Description

You will notice that Ateevia's PRIME looks, feels and smells unique. 
Simply massage PRIME into your skin over the affected area 2 to 3 times daily, 
or more often if you perceive a need. Again, there are no side effects 
and the formula cannot hurt you. For best results apply in the morning and at bedtime.

My take on the item:

I have had neck pain off and on all my life. I'm always wanting a neck massage. 
Sometimes it is worse then other times. A few times lately I wake up and 
I can not even move my neck. I feel like I've been in a car wreck or something. 

So when I was given the chance to review the Ateevia product, I thought I would
give it a try. I have been using it in the morning and at night, and it really has 
helped with my neck pain. It is also a lot different then other creams I have tried. 
Here is a picture of some I put on my hand:

I noticed that with in an hour after each use, my pain was decreased. 
The cream is a brown color, and doesn't have much scent & it really rubs
 in smoothly.

Mrs. Smith's pies

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Mrs. Smith's for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hey guys. Happy Holidays! Do you guys like pie? I'm not kidding, I really want to know. Well I will tell you one thing. My family loves pie! They are totally crazy about it. 

Well I have discovered a really great pie. They are Mrs. Smith’s pies. I really honest to goodness have bought several of these pies. I discovered them at Thanksgiving time. I served the Mrs. Smith's apple pie to my family and guests. 

 

This pie is really good, and the best one I have tried of this kind of product. Everyone really liked it. And it only takes 30 minutes to bake it. Then, on Christmas, we got the Dutch Apple pie, which was really good also. As you can tell everyone loves Apple pie. 

They have a lot of other flavors also. Which I may try soon too. Because I just found out about their holiday e-card site. There is a microsite, where I sent a e-card to my friend, and the cool thing is she gets a coupon and so do I for a Mrs. Smith pie! So I will be using my coupon to buy another one soon.

I also want to tell you about Operation Homefront.

For every Mrs. Smith pie purchased they will donate $1 to Operation Homefront until the end of this month. So hurry and get one! They also did a great thing and donated a lot of pies to Operation Homefront for Thanksgiving. 

No nonsense tights and leggings

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of No nonsense for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Hi guys, I have a review for you. I recently received some No nonsense tights and leggings to try out. I was asked to incorporate them into a couple of different outfits. 

First of all if you are a Mom, like me and have a daughter(s), then you may have to share everything with her. Like you may know what I'm talking about - especially with clothes. So when I received the No nonsense package in the mail, my daughter wanted the leggings. 

I got the Corduroy leggings in Espresso (brown). I don't know about you but I had never seen leggings in corduroy. These leggings are super cool and my daughter said really comfortable. You could wear these with anything! Here is a picture of her in the outfit she picked out to wear to school one day:

She's wearing a cool pink t-shirt, her funky hat, and the No nonsense leggings. 

In the tights, I got them in the Deep Burgundy color. I got this dress to attend a wedding recently and I decided to pair it up with the No nonsense tights. Here is a picture: 

this is the bottom half of dress and showing the tights. So you get an idea of the colors. I also have a white jacket that will go with this. But I think this will look good together, because the No nonsense tights are really going to make this outfit pop with color. Don't you?

I also found out that the No nonsense tights and leggings can be found in food and drug stores as well as mass retail stores. Another thing that is awesome is that they are really affordable! I mean these are so versatile so you are really getting a great product and at a great price too.

No nonsense is also partnering with Jill Martin. She is a fashion expert and she becoming their new brand ambassador. She is going to show women how to pair No nonsense leggings and tights with the latest fashion trends. Through online vignettes, and other social media outlets so look out for those.

I have been using it one to two times a day. In the morning after I shower, and at night after I wash my face. Sometimes, just once a day. But I really like this lotion. I like the smell of it too, and it is thick - but goes on smooth, and you don't need a lot at once either.

One thing I have noticed, now that I have been using this for a few weeks is how soft my face is. Especially my cheeks. - not kidding. I am really happy with this lotion. And it is supposed to help with fine lines, wrinkles and imperfections. I will see how that goes, as maybe it is to early to tell but I am hopeful that this would work.

My Weight Loss Plan - 90 Day Challenge

Hi guys! With the holidays coming up - I figured now is the time to start thinking about a weight loss plan. Like this will be my New Year's Resolution! I would love to drop maybe even 20 pounds.

Well now I am being given a great opportunity to do that. I am being sponsored by Creative Bioscience to test one of their products for 90 days. I was asked to do some research on the products and pick out which one I think would work best for me.

I decided that the African Mango 1200 - seems to fit in best with the goals I have in mind. Here is a description from the Co.

Product Description

African Mango extract has been used for medicinal purposes in Africa for centuries and has been studied extensively by modern scientists for the past 20 years. The extract from the seeds of the fruit has been found to have a powerful effect on weight loss because it converts calories into a more usable form of energy, making it easy for the body to use more calories for energy and store less calories as excess fat. African Mango reduces hunger by stimulating Leptin, which tells your body it has had enough to eat, and by also delaying stomach emptying which causes you to feel full longer. African Mango has been shown to lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels while raising HDL (good) cholesterol levels. It does this by binding to bile acids to carry cholesterol from the body. The high fiber content of African Mango aids this process as well .

The amount of fat weight a dieter loses using African Mango depends on dietary, genetic, and environmental factors. Numerous studies have been conducted to research African Mango use in weight loss to increase energy, suppress appetite, help burn fat, and boost metabolism. The published results of African Mango studies are documented, balanced, and favorable, and we invite you to examine them for yourself as you research this dynamic weight loss aid and determine what it can do for you. 

I can't wait to receive these so I can start on my 90 Day Challenge. I am choosing this one because I have been snacking lately and if this can suppress that - it would be great. Also if it can burn fat and give me energy then I am all for that too! 

I will update you guys on my progress, sometime in the near future. Also be sure to check back soon as I will be having a giveaway on this product too!

If you are a blogger I want to tell you something else. If you are interested in doing the 90 Day Challenge from Creative Bioscience then go fill out an application to apply for this for yourself! GO HERE to find the application.

Stay Tuned everyone!

WW - A Christmas Craft

I made something my grandmother & mother used to make. And I used to make with them also when I was little.

I don't know the official name of these. But you basically gather up different kinds of pine branches. Then can you guess what the base of this is?

Well I will tell you - it is a potato. You get a potato, if bottom not flat enough, cut out a piece of cardboard to fit and attach with a nail. Then you just add your branch clippings around the potato, and fill it in. (Use a nail or similar item to make holes in potato - for branches to go in.

And Voila! your fancy ornamental Christmas decoration!

Please read the following product info:

Climb On! Bar: This one product can soothe burns, cuts, scrapes, rashes, cracked cuticles and heels, tissue nose, road rash, diaper rash, abrasions, poison ivy...any skin issue that needs deep moisturizing and nourishing. Climb On! Bar was originally formulated for rock climbers. It has crossed all barriers since it works on any skin type and any skin issue. The beeswax is the emulsifier which holds the ingredients together. It acts as a humectant, which draws moisture to the skin. It acts as a natural water resistant barrier to help skin stay protected. Anyone from babies to rock stars use this product. The essential oils of neroli and lavender work their therapeutic properties to help the body bring the skin back into balance. Our body sees Climb On! recipe as a friend not a foe!

Creme: Our Crème is the best for the worst dry skin imaginable. Climb On! Creme is a deep moisturizer and acts like food for your skin in that it nourishes as well. Apply CO! Crème to your skin to moisturize and nourish if you are in the sun, wind, ice, rain, water, chemicals, etc. Use after extreme exposure for moisturizing relief. Along with the Climb On!

My take on the product:

Hey guys, I've got some dry skin. I don't know about you, but this time of year I notice my skin gets dry in various places. First too, I want to show you a picture I took of what the products look like opened:

Now back to my dry skin. My hands get dry a lot. I've been dabbing some of the creme on my hands daily and it really is helping. As it says - a little really goes along way, you don't need much at one time. It goes on non-greasy and I like the scent of these products too. Just for the heck of it, because I read in the description about make-up remover, I tried it for that the other day, and it worked great!

Another thing I noticed that is dry is my feet. Sorry if this is TMI, but my feet have been dry and even itchy lately. Especially my heels. I've been putting some of the Climb On! Bar on my heels every day. And I really see a big improvement!

I would recommend these products to all my readers!
