Devo Olive Oil Co. Review and Giveaway

Closed

Winner #33 Small Footprints

Devo Olive Oil Co. is a gourmet foods company out of Missouri that specializes in a variety of oils, vinegars, salts & seasonings and fresh pastas. Their selection of olive oils include fresh cold pressed extra virgin olive oils from around the world. They carry several infused olive oils that sound very intriguing. Some of these include Wild Mushroom and Sage Olive Oil, Chipotle Olive Oil, and Cilantro and Roasted Onion Olive Oil. These olive oils are great for cooking, marinades and even for dipping. I was given the opportunity to choose one of their olive oils for review and with all the wonderful selections it wasn't easy for me to choose just one. I finally settled on their Blood Orange Olive Oil.

Luckily for us Tunisian Blood Oranges ripen at the exact time as their olives (Chetoui and Chemlali variety). We have them pressed together to obtain this beautiful citrus olive oil. Notes: Blood Orange is one of our most popular since it is so versatile; use it on fish and seafood, chicken, duck, summer salads, and grilled stone fruits.

Immediately upon opening the bottle of Blood Orange Olive Oil you get a strong citrus aroma. Originally I had planned to use it in a marinade for fish but I decided instead in a Caprese salad. I was having the girls over for appetizers and a movie and I thought they would make the best taste testers.

Caprese Salad
1 pint of cherry tomatoes sliced in half
Fresh mozzarella sliced into small cubes
15 to 20 fresh basil leaves
Juice from 1 lemon
1 garlic clove minced
Devo Blood orange infused olive oil

Salt & Pepper

Put the tomatoes and cheese in a large bowl. Chop up the basil leaves and place in a smaller bowl. Mix with lemon juice and garlic and then slowly add the olive oil while mixing. Pour over the tomatoes and cheese and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.  

The salad was a hit! The olive oil gave it an unexpected and delicious twist. It is too bad I was only sent just a small bottle to sample because I think this stuff would have been great as a marinade as well.

If you are interested in trying Devo Olive Oil Co. products they can be purchased online. Have a hard time deciding which oil to try first like I did? Your in luck because they also sell sample packs of 9 and 16 mini bottles so you can try them all. And don't forget the holidays, they sell gift baskets that would make the perfect gift for that foodie in your life.

Devo Olive Oil Co. would like to offer one Girly Girl reader the chance to win 2 60ml bottles of their choice.

To Enter: Tell me which one of their products you most want to try. You can also get extra entries for following GGG through GFC, Subscribing via email, liking us on Facebook and following via Twitter.

This giveaway will end on December 20, 2011. I will choose the winner using Random.org. Please leave a valid email address if it is not visible in your profile. US entries only.

Oransi Ionic Fridge Air Purifier Review and Giveaway

Closed

Winner #28 Amanda

Oransi is a company that provides green cleaning products such as air purifiers to clean the air so you and those around you can breathe easier, sleep better and feel rejuvenated.  They also offer the Robby Wash, a green laundry product that I was given the chance to review several months back. I was very pleased with that product so when the opportunity came to review their Ionic Fridge Air Purifier I jumped at the chance.

That's right an air purifier for your refrigerator. You may be wondering why you would need one of those for your fridge. Let me give you a few reasons...

First and foremost it eliminates food odors. You know what I am talking about we all have them occasionally. There is nothing worse then being hungry and opening the fridge to find something to munch on and smelling something terrible in there. Talk about ruining your appetite! Second it kills bacteria, and not only does it kill bacteria but it sterilizes the fridge once every hour. All that food in there, yep that stuff goes into your body. That means you may want to clean your refrigerator every now and then, but let's face it cleaning the fridge is not usually something we think to do on a regular basis. That's why this air purifier is perfect for those times when we forget to scrub down the fridge. Third, it reduces food spoilage. I don't know how many times I have purchased produce only to have to throw it out because it has spoiled before we could get to it. Talk about a big waste a money. So now do you see why you need an Ionic Fridge Air Purifier?

The one thing I really like about this air purifier besides all the great things it does is it's size. It is very small and compact and takes up little space in your fridge. You can place it in the back of your fridge like I did and there is still plenty of space for your edibles. The air purifier runs on two AA batteries with just a push of a button. Simple! It runs for the first 30 minutes continuously and then for 5 minutes every two hours. It will notify you when the batteries are running low so you remember to replace them. I have had my air purifier for almost a month now and have not had to replace the batteries yet. Oransi says the batteries should last for approximately 90 days. Oh and I forgot to mention that this is a silent air purifier in case you were worried your fridge would buzz every time you opened it. You literally forget it is there doing it's job.

Have I convinced you yet? You can purchase your Oransi Ionic Fridge Air Purifier online, it is currently on sale for $29.99 that's a $10.00 savings!

Oransi is also allowing me to give one Girly Girl reader the chance to win their very own purifier for the fridge.

To Enter: Visit Oransi and tell me another green product you are interested in trying. You can also get extra entries for following GGG through GFC, Subscribing via email, liking us on Facebook and following via Twitter.

This giveaway will end on December 19, 2011. I will choose the winner using Random.org. Please leave a valid email address if it is not visible in your profile. US entries only.

Softlips Review and Giveaway

Closed

Winner #36 Allen Family

Looking for some great stocking stuffers for that girly girl? Your in luck! One of my favorite brand of lip moisturizing products has some wonderful winter flavors available.

Now throughout the holiday/winter season, there will be select dual-packs (Winter Mint/Vanilla, Sugar Cookie/Raspberry, and Sugar Cookie/Cherry) of Softlips available at stores such as Walmart, Target, and Rite Aid for just $3.99. There is also a Winter 5-Pack that’s available exclusively in the Softlips online store, that offers all four winter flavors and a bonus flavor of Mint with a Hint of Vanilla. This set is packaged in a festive, blue sachet for $9.99.

I was given the opportunity to review all 4 seasonal flavors as well as Mint with a Hint of Vanilla  and I gotta say they are all great. I am a big fan of Softlips because they really do make your lips super soft, and living in Alaska, these are very much needed during this time of year. My favorite winter flavor is Sugar Cookie, it smells delicious. My favorite all around flavor of Softlips, well it's gotta be Cherry. I also love Softlips tinted lip balms and glosses. They leave your lips smooth with just a  hint of color and a lot of shine.

Aside from being great stocking stuffers Softlips are also a great addition to any holiday gift basket, and it's so easy to create your very own.

From Softlips beauty and style expert Jenn Falik:

So many stores offer gift sets, but the person you’re buying for might not use or like everything in the set and it can come off like you were in a hurry to buy a gift. An easy solution is to buy a basket or small bin and fill it with items that you know they like. Each basket or bin can be customized to the person whether it’s a basket of beauty products including Softlips lip balm or a bin filled with hair products for the hair junkie. Finish the look by covering the gift set with cellophane and tie it with ribbon.  

Softlips would like to offer one girly girl a chance to win a set of the holiday/winter flavors.

To Enter: Leave me a comment telling me which flavor you think you would like the most. You can also get extra entries for following GGG through GFC, Subscribing via email, liking us on Facebook and following via Twitter.

This giveaway will end on December 15, 2011. I will choose the winner using Random.org. Please leave a valid email address if it is not visible in your profile. US entries only.
