Doll Clothes Superstore Review

 

My daughter is a girly girl. She loves dressing up and playing with her dolls, she especially loves dressing her dolls. When I learned about Doll Clothes Superstore and their enormous selection of doll clothes I knew my daughter would delight in shopping for her little friend. She chose to shop for her doll named Fancy Girl. I sat her in front of my computer and she perused over causal dresses, party dresses, beachwear, costumes and much more. She finally decided Fancy needed something sporty so she chose this Cheerleader outfit.

All of Doll Clothes Superstore items are hand made. They have apparel for a variety of dolls like American Girl, Our Generation My Twin dolls, Cabbage Patch Kids, Barbie and Ken and even some stuffed animals. They also have matching girl and doll outfit's!

And of course you must accessorize!

All items are very reasonably priced and if you use the code girlygirldcs at checkout you can receive 10% off your order. Penelope is loving Fancy Girl's new look and she has even started a wish list for her other dolls.

Grab your little girl, her favorite doll and go shopping!

Spoonful of Comfort Review and Giveaway

Closed

Winner #32

 

Jennifer T.

 

When I was first invited to review Spoonful of Comfort I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I assumed it was just another gift basket company. I decided to do a little research before I received my review sample and checked out their website. I immediately learned that Spoonful of Comfort is more then just "gift basket's". In fact the story behind the company is quite touching. What is more comforting then a nice bowl of homemade chicken soup? Spoonful of Comfort provides thoughtful gifts that make great "thinking of you", "get well soon", "because I love you" care packages. Each package is filled with their signature chicken soup as well as delicious homemade cookies and rolls. In addition depending on which package you choose to gift someone, they also include items like hot cocoa, cozy socks and even a warm fuzzy blanket to name a few.

I was sent their most popular Well Wishes package for review. I was beyond impressed when I opened up my packaged gift.

 

Each item was presented in a lovely box. I especially loved the way the soup ladle and soup were presented. I was so eager to try everything, it all looked so tasty. Then I had a thought...my neighbor and friends husband had just been involved in a motorcycle accident. He had been at home recovering with a severe leg break and from what my friend told me he was pretty down about the whole thing. Why not put Spoonful of Comfort to the test? I immediately walked over the my neighbors and presented him with this gift. I let him know that I had received it for review but that when I opened the package I thought about him and thought it would bring him some comfort during his recovery. Both my friend and her husband were equally impressed with this gift as well. I left feeling pretty good about my decision to let them review this product for me. Within 10 minutes I received a phone call letting me know that these were the best oatmeal cookies he had ever eaten in his life. Wow! I have to admit I was a little bummed I didn't sneak one for myself when I heard this. The next day I got another phone call thanking me for the delicious chicken soup and rolls, my neighbors were beyond grateful.

Don't forget Mother's Day is just around the corner!

I love this company and I will definitely be purchasing from them in the future.

The generous people at Spoonful of Comfort would like to offer one Girly Girl reader the same Well Wishes package I received.

Milani Limited Edition Rose Powder Blush Review

Milani is a leading brand of cosmetics that carries every product you will need for your makeup arsenal. With Milani products your eyes, face, lips, and even nails will get the look you want. They provide trend setting colors for women of all ages, skin tone, and personality and are constantly adding to their line. They also have limited edition items that you won't want to miss. For instance the entire month of March Milani has been showcasing their Limited Edition Rose Powder Blush at Walgreen's stores nationwide.

A luxurious matte powder blush that features rose petals micro-milled into the powder to bring out the natural rosy tones. This blush is multi-purpose: use to shape, contour, and highlight your face. It is easy to use and streak-free. Suitable for all skin types and tones. 

This Rose Powder Blush comes in four colors and is priced at only $7.99. I received one of these lovely blushes for review and was immediately impressed. The quality and packaging is top of the line. The pressed powder blush is almost too pretty in its compact to use. I was sent Coral Cove for review and tested it out on my cheeks. It was very light and blended well. Unfortunately coral is not my color, but the beauty of Milani cosmetics is that they create a variety of colors for all skin tones. I decided to pass this along to my mom who has a lighter complexion and she loved it. It looks very natural and leaves a nice subtle color and glow.

There is still time to get your hands on these limited edition blushes via your local Walgreen's and online. Be sure to like Milani on Facebook so you can stay up to date on the latest cosmetic arrivals.

VEMMA Review

Vitamin's, Essential Minerals, Mangosteen and Aloe. That is what Vemma Nutrition Company's products are all about. Their beverages are cap full of anti-oxidants from superfruit mangosteen (you can learn all about it here), 12 full-spectrum vitamins, plant-sourced minerals, organic aloe vera and organic green tea.  Designed to give your body the essentials needed to form a solid nutritional foundation.

The full line of Vemma products include;

VEMMA Original
VEMMA Verve a full line of energy drinks
VEMMA  Bod● ē a nutritional line of meal replacement shakes and supplements endorsed by celebrity
trainer, Chris Powell.
VEMMA NEXT a  nutritional 2oz beverage for children ages 2-12 years old
VEMMA Renew their newest healthy beverage

I was given VEMMA original, VEMMA Renew, and VEMMA NEXT for review. I tried the VEMMA first. I love that it is a small 2oz. bottle that you can drink up quick. I drank my VEMMA "shot" in the mornings. These were like a burst of energy and I enjoyed the taste, sweet and citrus-y but with a bit of bitterness at the end. The VEMMA Renew came in 8.3 fl oz. cans. These are non carbonated and caffeine free and taste even better then the original. They almost taste like peach and I love peach flavored things. They also do not have any of the bitterness of the latter. These do contain organic cane sugar and stevia. They are only 45 calories per can and they also contain plant sourced silica known to maintain healthy skin, hair and nails. The VEMMA NEXT is meant for children ages 2-12 years old. They come in small 2oz. bottles as well as large 32oz. bottles. I was only sent one of the 2oz. bottles for review so instead of giving it to my daughter Penelope I decided to try it so I could let you know what I thought. These had the same sweet citrus taste as the original formula but without the bitterness. I have no doubt that Penelope would drink these up. All of these beverages are best served cold and are a great way to get the nutrients your body needs to look and feel healthy.  

You can purchase Vemma products online.

Alvita Tea Review

I am pretty sure I have mentioned this here before but I am a tea drinker. I love tea! I like it iced and I like it hot. I like a cup of refreshing Green tea and I like a nice hot cup of relaxing Chamomile. I like some English Breakfast with milk and sugar as well as some Mint with lemon and honey. I especially love to find and taste new types and flavors of tea. Several months back I was given the opportunity to try a couple of  Alvita teas by Twinlab.

Alvita teas are made with the finest herbs, herbs that have been selected for their health benefits and medicinal properties. They have a variety of teas to choose from like Echinacea which is said to help support a healthy immune system and fight colds and Licorice Root which is used to support respiratory health. I was sent their Ginger Peppermint herbal tea and their Passionflower herbal tea.

I have had ginger tea and I have had peppermint tea but I had never had them together. It is delicious! I love how it smells, the spicy scent of ginger and the refreshing scent of peppermint. Both of these herbs are supposed to help settle an upset stomach and other digestive issues so it is a great tea to have on hand in your medicine cabinet or pantry. It also tastes really good iced.

This was my first time trying passionflower tea. I expected it to have more of a floral scent and taste but it was a little more smoky and earthy. Passionflower is supposed to ease nervousness and restlessness and help you get a good nights sleep. I have been enjoying this tea in the evenings and it always makes me feel calm and relaxed.

You can find out more about Alvita's teas on their website and can purchase them via Twinlab or in several stores nationwide.

Colgate Optic White Review

I love being an Influenster! I get to learn about and try new products and share with all of you. Recently I was sent the new Colgate Optic White Toothbrush + Built-in Whitening Pen for review.

I love products that make tasks simpler and more convenient. I am all about less is more. With this new product from Colgate you can brush your teeth and then whiten them by just turning your toothbrush upside down. You see, the toothbrush comes with an attachment on the other side that you insert a whitening pen into. Brush your pearly whites with one side, flip it over and brighten your smile with the easy to use pen. In fact the whitening pen is so easy to use you just brush on the whitening gel and don't even need to rinse. I however thought the gel felt weird on my teeth and rinsed a little anyway. The other negative thing I will add about this toothbrush/whitening pen is it is rather long and clumsy. It felt a little weird at first brushing my teeth with it. Also when my husband first saw it he lifted it off our toothbrush holder and said "what the heck is this"? Hehe...I guess you could always remove the pen when you are brushing your teeth and then insert it into the attachment when you are ready to use it. But, like I said I am all about convenience and leaving it attached just makes more sense to me.

Now for the results! This product says you can have whiter teeth in just 2 days! Well after my first couple of uses I didn't notice much difference, but then again my teeth are naturally on the whiter side. After about a week I noticed that they looked even whiter then normal. Cool!

I was also sent some $3.00 off coupons so if you would like to try this product out for yourself I don't mind sending you a coupon to save some money. Just leave me a comment on this post!
