Review & GiveAway: Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Tint Sheer PINK and SheerPEACH~whoot!!

READ about Lip Tints HERE

Winds are whipping around here~today the windchill is 10 degrees~and WE ARE FREEZING around here with a high of thrity-two.  What's it like around you?  IS IT COLD YET?  Most of the US is experiencing cool temps now that Autumn is well underway and Winter is fast approaching!  Do you or your kiddos experience chapped lips?  My children when they were littles were always suffering with dry cracked lips...until I learned to carry around Carmex in my pockets just for them! In fact, I even put a tube in their pocket once they were old enough to keep up with it!  You won't believe the number of lip balms I've WASHED and DRIED over the years LOL!! But seriously, it's great stuff to prevent and heal chapped lips...chapped upper lips for the licker kiddo...and even a raw nose (designated tube or pot LOL!!) and apply~a little unconventional, I admit! But it really works!

I've been blessed to have been shared the new line of Carmex Moisture Plus Lip Balm Tint in Sheer Pink and Sheer Peach along with a set for a blessed reader! This is some great stuff~soft and silky, smooth going on~but the nicest thing is the feel...oooh la lah!  Not greasy or oily, but really nice!  Carmex is a name we trust to keep us all healed and comfortable in the blistery winds of WC Ohio...It can help you too~and provide a little 'zinzer' to your look with the tint part. I'm a brunet (wannabe blonde) who likes the pink...my daughter likes the peach...she's a red head!  Either way the colors are not overbearing like a balm that isn't sheer...it's very light and nice!

Wanna try a sample?
HERE ya go!

Review/GiveAway: Progresso Healthier You Prize Pack (Reduced Sodium Soups) (HEALTH MATTERS!)

Progresso Healthier You Prize Pack (Reduced Sodium Soups)

Available at your local grocery!
I say: Yummy and healthier!

Health really matters! If we don't care for our body then who will? Progresso has a new line of reduced sodium soups that they offer to help make the choices a little easier when looking out for ourselves~I bet our doctors will be happy too that we're making good choices!

From the web:

Choosing select Progresso® Reduced Sodium soups may help lower cholesterol² when eaten with other heart healthy, soluble fiber containing foods.

By looking for the "May Help Lower Cholesterol"² banner and the Heart Healthy² logo on certain varieties of Reduced Sodium soups, Progresso makes it even easier for you to stick to a heart healthy diet. Five Progresso Reduced Sodium favorites - Italian Style Wedding, Minestrone, Garden Vegetable, Beef and Vegetable, and Chicken Gumbo - contain hearty vegetables and legumes to provide 1g of heart healthy soluble fiber in every bowl.

And be sure to keep an eye out for the all-new Tomato Parmesan Reduced Sodium soup at your local grocery store for a unique blend of delicious flavors. For more information about Progresso Reduced Sodium soups that may help lower cholesterol² and great recipe ideas, visit www.progressofoods.com today!

Also, check out Progresso on Facebook to "Like" the brand and keep up with the latest news on new products like Progresso Reduced Sodium soups that may help lower cholesterol2 and other favorites!

¹American Heart Association, 2008
²Diets low in saturated fat and cholesterol and rich in fruits, vegetables, and grain products that contain some types of dietary fiber, particularly soluble fiber, may reduce the risk of heart disease, a disease associated with many factors. 

Our health really IS important! I was so blessed to receive an exercise ball, two cans of Progresso Reducted Sodium Soups: the chicken gumbo and the new tomato (yum!) and a beautiful HUGE mug (oh I wish I had a set of these cool mugs! They are heavy, but have a place for your thumb so you can manage it!) from Progresso as a part of MyBlogSpark!   I also love the ball~AND I used it with our teens at church to play dodgeball! WHAT A HOOT! 

I have WONDERFUL NEWS~I get to give ONE of my readers a gift pack too~

Remember the soups are tasty and healthier for your body.  You will want to pick up some at the grocery to ck out as winter is fast approaching!

OKay,,,for the contest~It will end:  November 10th 11:59PM EST.

REVIEW/GiveAway: The Little Man in the Map Teaches the State Capitals

The Little Man in the Map Teaches the State Capitals

E. Andrew Martonyi
AGES:  K-Jr. High
Price: $11. 95
Paperback/109 pages.
SOURCE: schoolsidepress.com
I say: AWESOME!
GiveAway:  See below for ways to enter!

If you are looking for an entertaining way to teach US geography The Little Man in the Map Teaches the State Capitals! is just for you!   Using a fun way of learning, it is easier to learn all the US state capitals.  The drawings are well done in black line cartoon with easy to remember rhymes that are sure to help even a struggling learner.
The author says, " ...one of my key objectives was to find a straightforward method for readers to link the clue for each capital with the name of its state.  A rhyme or catchphrase then highlights the name of the capital, and both elements  are reinforced in a humorous cartoon."

Samples and More On FaceBook!
FREE Coloring Pages HERE!

My children think this is a neat book for kids, and I agree!

We reviewed The Little Man in the Map: With Clues to All Fifty States, and am so excited that Mr. Martonyi has written one for state capitals! Thank you, Sir~this is GREAT!
