Vanilla Mint Deodorant Creme Review + Giveaway #LoveYourBody

Sweating is a result of the body attempting to cool itself off when there is either an internal or external increase in temperature. The unpleasant odor is actually a byproduct of bacteria that feed on sweat-gland secretions.

Unfortunately Oma has always been skeptical about the average deodorant. While they do not interfere with or stop the sweating process. Ingredients called “fragrances” can be any number of harmful chemicals manufacturers are not legally required to list on a product’s packaging.

Vanilla Mint Deodorant Creme is a lightly scented paste that works well without leaving a leaving that annoying residue. Most importantly, this product is organic!

Boardwalk Food Company Beer Bread Mix Review + Giveaway #CookWithBeer

Oma love baking bread. Unfortunately, I do not always have time to do things the old fashion way. For those busy times, you can turn to Boardwalk Food Company for their Beer Bread Mix.

They include all the ingredients in each of the mixes. You just pop open a beer, pour, stir, bake, and enjoy! They’re delicious on their own or you can try them with different types of dip.

Tip: most of the alcohol is cooked off in the baking process.

The Boardwalk Food Company is inspired by vacations with family and friends on the Boardwalk of Atlantic City, which were frequent throughout Founder and President Andy Yochum’s life.

“I came to realize that the Boardwalk was more than just a place; it was a state of mind,” says Yochum. “Our products make it possible to enjoy the carefree, simple, social aspects of vacation in your everyday life. They’re easy to make, and special enough to share with family and friends.”

There are four Boardwalk Food Company Beer Bread Mix Flavors

1. Original – Their original flavor is delicious on its own or can act as a canvas to change the flavor profile. Experiment with different types of beer or soda. Even add ingredients like fruits, flavoring or spices.
2. Cornbread – Making a good batch of cornbread that’s just the right tasty combination of sweet and moist can be a lengthy process. We’ve simplified it: just add your favorite beer and bake. Perfect for chili night!
3. Lemon Poppy Seed – This bread has a light refreshing lemony taste. It certainly speaks of the beach!
4. Rosemary Sea Salt – A hearty Italian-flavored bread, Rosemary Sea Salt is a perfect stand-alone appetizer or companion to steak or pasta.

Look Who Is 19-Months-Old

Reef Indy met the Easter Bunny (Dad) yesterday.  As you can tell from his face - Reef did not like the Easter Bunny too much.  However, Reef's cousins and friends loved him.

The Easter Bunny (also called the Easter Rabbit or Easter Hare) is a symbol of Easter, depicted as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs. Originating among German Lutherans, the "Easter Hare" originally played the role of a judge, evaluating whether children were good or disobedient in behavior at the start of the season of Eastertid.

Ultra BRIGHT LED Headlamp - SUPER COMFORTABLE! Review + Giveaway #divineleds

The XE Series Headlamp offers a lightweight headlamp with adjustable elastic strap for a snug and customized fit every time. A dimmer and multiple modes allow you to adjust the light strength to suit your task-at-hand. And speaking of hands, both are free for use when you rely on XE Series Headlamp . This automatically results in 50% greater efficiency when compared to performing the same task using a standard flashlight.

Made from military-grade materials, this headlamp is guaranteed to work as hard as you do! And at $27.97, you can afford to have one in your car, in the basement, on the boat, in the RV… everywhere you currently have a bulky handheld flashlight. The XE Series Headlamp is great for camping, hiking, biking, running, boating, home improvement, reading… and much, much more. This headlamp will make a great gift for Dad, Grad, and even that person who is impossible to shop for.

Oma really enjoyed her hands-free lightning device. Living in our rural area, we experience frequent power outages; especially during the rough SoCal Wild Fires! This multi-purpose, super bright headlamp went straight into our emergency kit. I love that it came with the three AAA batteries it needed to power on. Oma had to deduct a star due to the battery compartment. The hinge on is fragile and you should open and close the compartment with care. However, it comes with a LIFETIME warranty for defects AND a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
