Sense Skincare Review and Giveaway

-

I had never heard of Sense Skincare before they contacted me and asked me to review their skincare line. So I used Swagbucks to search them online. Here is what I learned:
  • Sense is sold by direct consultants comparable to Mary Kay or Avon
  • Sense products are natural and free from chemical preservatives
  • All products are manufactured in the US with self-preserving technology
  • It is recommended that you take vitamin supplements while using the skincare regiment to experience the fullest extent of the product
When I began using the Sense Skincare line, the first thing that struck me was the pleasant scent. I’m picky about smell and especially on something that is going to be up by my face. The process was quick and simple. Afterwards my face felt very moist and supple. I can’t imagine that my husband would have ever used these face products for that reason though. He hates for his skin to feel “greasy” and frequently refuses to take the chance that my lotion might rub off on him. If you don’t like the thicker, heavier feel of moisturizer than this probably isn’t the product line for you.

However, for me, whose skin stays pretty dried out, it was perfect. I enjoyed using it and felt like it was refreshing and rejuvenating my skin.

Sense is giving away a full size bottle of Daytime Protective Emulsion SPF 15 today! This is the daytime moisturizer that is a part of their skincare line. You can try it out for yourself and see if you would be interested in other products from this line.

    Your skin is the last organ to receive nutrients from the body and often the first to show signs of nutritional deficiency.

NEW Giveaway: Crib Creations

-
Image
I love it when I can find a store that carries not just one thing I like, or a couple of things that are interesting . . . but ALL of their stuff makes me want to take it home with me. Crib Creation is the latest store to do just that. Owner of Crib Creation - Melanie - says she loves all things "baby" and hopes to carry a little bit of everything in her store. We had the privilege of reviewing one of her bibs and one of her burp cloths. Since Weston is just now a couple of weeks old, we have had plenty of opportunity to use both. Although we are primarily breastfeeding, we supplement with bottles when I am utterly exhausted or just don't seem to have enough milk to satisfy Weston. I hate that so many of our bibs are stained beyond redemption. But with this adorable bib, you don't have to worry about that. Even when he moves on to baby food and has issues with carrots and peas, it will be very hard to tell on this dark fabric. Also, as you can see, even the smal

Traditions

Not too long ago, I told you about my experience with Tropical Traditions organic coconut oil . Tropical Traditions was gracious enough to giveaway a bottle of that oil to one of the MelissaStuff readers. Recently, they offered to send me their palm shortening to try out. I love to bake so I was all about that offer. I was surprised when the “sample” arrived and it was a 1 gallon pail of shortening. I’m pretty sure that’s enough to make cookies for the next decade or so! Fair warning – when you go to use this for the first time, know that it will be difficult to get the lid off and if you aren’t particularly handy, you might want to have someone else around to help you. I didn’t and it took me about ten minutes, several different tools, and even breaking the tip off of an industrial file before I could get it. The shortening inside looks pretty normal, maybe a little less thick than standard shortening. I think it looks almost like mayonnaise. But it’s easy to scoop out and l

Organic Detergent? {Giveaway}

-
Image
So technically, I don’t think this detergent is actually organic, but it is non-toxic and environmentally safe. Can you say that for your detergent? This product was a surprise to me. I’m not picky about my detergent, but the only thing I do care about is how my detergent smells. Before I used Tropical Traditions Powdered Laundry Detergent I was concerned that it would have a chemical smell or worse the clothes would end up not smelling clean. But it smells GREAT without having any specific scent to it . . . it just smells clean . One thing that’s nice is it only takes 2 oz. to wash an entire load, so this fairly small container will do quite a number of loads – 40 to be exact. Right now, this size container is on sale for $16.99, but you can win it for FREE!
