Uses: This argan oil, also known as “Liquid gold” is used to nourish, soften, and shine your hair. It leaves your hair looking very healthy! It also tames frizz! Even though this is an oil, it does NOT leave your hair looking oily or greasy. It also can be used as a thermal protector before using styling tools.

First impression: Wow! What a great big bottle of BBQ sauce! I was excited to see a 16 oz bottle. I opened it to smell the sweet and yummy aroma!

Taste: Well, my boyfriend, mother, and I first tried this sauce on homemade wings. Unfortunantely, I was so excited to eat them that I forgot to take a picture. Oopsie. Anyways, the sauce was delicious on our wings. We scarfed them down. I usually don’t eat BBQ wings because the sauce always seems too overpowering and too sweet for my taste. This sauce, however, is sweet with a hint of a smoked flavor. Last night we tried the BBQ sauce on our stove cooked (we don’t have a grill yet) burgers. My oh My, was it delicious! We put jalepenos on our burgers and the spicy mixed with the sweet made for a perfect burger. The sauce is the perfect consistency. Not too thick or too liquidy. My boyfriend and I actually believe this is just as good, if not better than a particular name brand BBQ sauce that every loves (SBR).

Final Thoughts: This is delicious and can be eaten with many different recipes!

Price Vs. Quality: Wow only $6 for a 16oz bottle! That’s a fantastic price!

How I rate the product on a scale of 1 to 5: 5!!

Would I purchase this product for a friend? Most definitely!

First impression: Well, It’s Covergirl so I was super excited to use it. Seeing how my go-to mascara is Covergirl’s Lash Blast Mascara, I had high hopes for this one! I was even more excited about the fact that there are two brushes, with two steps involved to make your lashes really blast!

My thoughts: Well, since I always use two mascaras to make my lashes POP I was excited that this was a two in one. I like using a small brush to coat and shape my lashes and then a thicker brush for volume and intensity! That it exactly what this mascara offers you- a volume boost and an intense look. Not only did it make my lashes pop, it lengthened them. Isn’t that what every girl wants? Long, Beautiful, thick lashes without using the fake stick ons?

★ Newman’s Own Organics Snack Pack Review and Giveaway

Posted on July 4, 2014 by JoyceDuboise

“Great tasting products that happen to be organic” -Newman’s Own Organics

Contact Information: Website / Facebook
GIVEAWAY ALERT: Newman’s Own Organics Snack Pack – Entry Form

Interesting Facts about Newman’s Own Organics:

This company was founded in 1993 when Nell Newman and Peter Meehan were looking for organic snack food and realized the demand for organic snack food was on the rise!
It’s easy to confuse Newman’s Own and Newman’s Own Organics products. NOO started as a division of Newman’s Own in 1993 by Nell Newman and her business partner, Peter Meehan, but became a separate company in early 2001. The two companies have separate lines of products
This company started with pretzels and each year they grew by adding other organic snack foods, teas, coffees, vinegars, and even pet food (They are STILL growing and always creating new organic items). By 2001, Newman’s Own Organics became an independent company.
All products are chosen typically by personal preference (of Peter and Nell) and based on what sales happen to be booming at the time. Pretzels for example, many of their products were created with their favorite childhood snacks in mine 🙂

★= This product made it into My June 2014 Favorites!

Yacon Syrup Review

Posted on July 4, 2014 by JoyceDuboise

Disclosure: I must let you know, I was NOT paid to write this review, but I did receive the item at no cost to me for giving my true and HONEST opinion.

Full Name of Product: Yacon Syrup Premium
Type of Product: 100% Pure Raw Organic Syrup
Price of Product: $19.97
Where to purchase: You can purchase the product on Amazon HERE
Websites and Social Media: Website

First impression: I was surprised at the size of the bottle. I opened it to smell it- You know me! Hehe. I have never had raw or pure syrup before so I was surprised at the way it smelled. It smells a bit rich, yet sour. Very interesting. The color of the syrup is actually black. It looks like chocolate syrup to me. Hehe.

About: Well, this is not thick like normal syrup. I think a reason is because this is also considered a natural sweetener that can be mixed with tea and coffee. You can also take this daily as a dietary supplement. This syrup is made from the yacon plants in Peru.

Taste and Texture: My boyfriend and I ate these on waffles. The first taste was a shock to me! This is very sour, in my opinion. My boyfriend found this to taste very sweet and natural. It does leave a pleasant after taste, unlike many sweeteners and syrups do. A little bit goes a very long way, unlike with typical syrup. It tastes a bit like honey and fig to me. While this is not for me, it would be a great alternative for syrups and sweeteners.

Final Thoughts: It is good for what it is.

Price Vs. Quality: I think the price is good for 8 fl oz bottle.

How I rate the product on a scale of 1 to 5: I rate this a 3 because it really isn’t for me.

Would I purchase this product for a friend? If they tasted it and liked it, yes.

My June 2014 FAVORITES ★

Posted on July 4, 2014 by JoyceDuboise

1. PB Crave’s Peanut Butter – Mmm. That’s what I say every time I think of this delicious peanut butter. Everything about it is top quality. The texture is smooth and creamy. The flavor is tasty and memorable. I cannot stop raving about this delicious peanut butter. My mom tried it with me (as seen in the review video) and she is the same as me. She ate a sandwich the day after we did the taste testing video and each day she kept hinting around to wanting more. Hahaha. We love it. My boyfriend doesn’t eat Peanut Butter, but he thought all of them smelled delicious. These peanut butters are unique and delicious, that is why these made it to my June’s Favorite List! The price for these peanut butters is great. You have many options when buying from their site! You can also enter my GIVEAWAY for your chance to win a FULL SIZE pack of all 4 flavors!!

2. Newman’s Own Organics– Talk about great organic snacks! I am NOT exaggerating when I say that these snacks are next to impossible to put down! I began munching on the Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies the other night and I had to literally force myself to put the bag away. Ahh they are so flavorful! My boyfriend finally tried these snacks for the first time last night and he loves them too! His favorite pretzels were the pretzel sticks because he says that they are salted just right. The bags he couldn’t put down though were the Chocolate Chip Cookies and the Oatmeal Chocolate Chips Cookies. He alternated between those two bags, and I mean literally back and forth with each cookie, until he ate too many and I had to take them away! Hahaha. These snacks are so yummy. I am not the biggest fan of sweets, but these cookies were right up my alley. My mom tested these snacks with me (as seen in the review video) and she loved them. She was visiting me for the weekend and I ended up sending the Figs, Cranberries, Ginger Snaps, Sour Apple Licorice, and the Chocolate cream filled chocolate cookies with her because those were all her favorite (She made out like a bandit! She’s spoiled.Hehe). These snacks would make great add on gifts for birthdays, Christmas, or even Valentine’s Day. I know my grandfathers would both devour these snacks within a couple of weeks. The moral of my story is to give these snacks a try. If organic isn’t your thing, these snacks will DEFINITELY change your mind! This is why these made it to my June’s favorite list! The best part is that you can buy these at Amazon and a few other online stores. If you are more of an “I need to see it before I buy it” type of person, you search your area for stores that are carrying them! You can also enter my GIVEAWAY for your chance to win a FULL SIZE 4 pack of my favorite snacks of the ones that I tasted- Orange Chocolate Chip Cookies, High Protein Pretzels, Sour Apple Licorice, and Cranberries.
