Tropical Traditions 5 lb. Powdered Detergent ~ Review and #Giveaway, **ENTER NOW**!!

PRODUCTS BEING REVIEWED:  Tropical Traditions Powdered Laundry Detergent

PRODUCT AND COMPANY OVERVIEW:  Their founders, Brian and Marianita Jader Shilhavy were talking one day and Marianita explained to Brian there was a method older generations used to extract oil.  She explained their process involved grating fresh coconut, extracting the milk and then letting that milk stand for over a 24 hour period, in a container.  After that time, she explained to him the oil would separate naturally.  This produces clear oil with the scent and taste of coconuts.  At that time they began making their own coconut oil in the same manner.  I invite you to click here to read more about Tropical Traditions and their founders.  They definitely have a story to tell!

$ COST:  The 5 lb. container of the Tropical Traditions Laundry Detergent is normally $30.00.  However, right now you can obtain it for only $16.99!  What an awesome deal for this high-quality product!

Deb's Review of the Tropical Traditions Laundry Detergent:  My family has been using the Tropical Traditions Powdered Laundry Detergent for about 2 weeks now.  We actually never purchase powdered detergent, so this was an awesome opportunity for us to try out a high-quality one.  This was such a great laundry detergent.  You would never know it is a powder.  So, if you are stuck in a rut of using only liquid, I challenge you to try this one!  The powder detergent dissolved wonderfully and left absolutely no residue on our clothing.  Do you or someone in your household have sensitive skin?  This may be the answer to your problems.  Tropical Traditions Powder Laundry Detergent contains no perfumes or dyes.  I was amazed at the amount I had to use.  We have a large-sized washer.  For a large-sized washer you are to use 1/2 cup (4 oz).  Yes, that is it!!!  This

5 lb. container of detergent will last us quite awhile, and we are a family of 5!!!  What we love about Tropical Traditions is that it is environmentally safe, non-toxic and contains no phosphates.  

Go here to order Tropical Traditions Powdered Detergent currently only $16.99 (regularly priced $30.00)

Last day to enter the Giveaway for - Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil ~ Review and #Giveaway, ENTER NOW!!

I am excited to introduce to my readers Tropical Traditions!!  I currently had the pleasure of reviewing their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil.  Although I am not a huge coconut fan, I am definitely hooked on this product!  The quality of this product is amazing.  

First, I must tell you a little about their company.  Their founders, Brian and Marianita Jader Shilhavy were talking one day and Marianita explained to Brian there was a method older generations used to extract oil.  She explained their process involved grating fresh coconut, extracting the milk and then letting that milk stand for over a 24 hour period, in a container.  After that time, she explained to him the oil would separate naturally.  This produces clear oil with the scent and taste of coconuts.  At that time they began making their own coconut oil in the same manner.  I invite you to click here to read more about Tropical Traditions and their founders.  They definitely have a story to tell!

You can also go here to watch a video interview with Brian Shilhavy, the CEO of Tropical Traditions, entitled "How We Discovered Virgin Coconut Oil". 

I decided to make a recipe for chicken lettuce wraps.  You can click here to view this tasty recipe.  The only thing I added to this recipe was some BBQ sauce and some red and yellow peppers.  I was amazed at the taste!  It has such a subtle and pure taste.  It is so hard to describe, but it is simply wonderful!  I loved it and I am sure you will too.

Go here to view hundreds of FREE recipes using the Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil!  I cannot wait to try out more recipes.  

A few interesting facts about the Tropical Traditions Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil:

• There are many ways to use coconut oil and incorporate it into your diet. It is a stable cooking oil, therefore you can replace unhealthy oils with coconut oil.  Since it is a solid most of the time at room temperature or when refrigerated, it can be a butter or margarine substitute for spreads or for baking. Any recipe calling for butter, margarine, or any other oil can be substituted for coconut oil!
• The expiration dates on the Virgin Coconut Oil is two years, and on our Expeller-pressed coconut oils they are 18 months, but the company reports it will usually be fine much longer.
• Their coconuts and Virgin Coconut Oil producers are certified organic by a third party organization based out of the US (Organic Certifiers) which sends their own independent inspector yearly. They meet strict requirements for organic certification according to USDA/NOP organic standards. Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil is made from fresh, certified organic coconuts, and the family-based small-scale operation we use to make the Virgin Coconut Oil is also certified organic. Their repackaging facilities in the Philippines and the US are also certified organic by USDA standards.

*NOW for the GIVEAWAY!!!  Tropical Traditions has agreed to mail the winner a quart of coconut oil, as shown above.  The winner will be chosen via Random.org.  I will email the lucky winner on 11/16/11, as well as post the winner on my site.  Good luck to all!!  ENTER NOW!!

Almost everyone who tries Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce becomes a lifelong user. And why not, it is the perfect complement to practically any meal set on your table."  Click here to learn more about the history of Country Bob's.  What an amazing story!

Ouidad launches NEW Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo and Conditioner ~ Debs product review

PRODUCTS BEING REVIEWED:  Ouidad NEW Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo and Conditioner

COMPANY OVERVIEW:  Ouidad, also known as the "Queen of Curl" is an internationally recognized stylist, a salon owner, author, and global educator.  In 1984, she opened the first salon in the country that catered to curly hair.  Since then, her trademarked techniques have instilled confidence in curly and wavy haired people across the nation!  As a young girl, her mother never knew quite what to do with her hair.  Her goal was always to empower everyone to see that curly hair is a gift to be enjoyed!  Ouidad believes building a personalized relationship with their customers is an obligation ~ and more so a privilege.  She believes true success follows that exceptional service!

$ COST:  

• The cost of the Ouidad NEW Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo is $8 for 2.5 oz, or $18 for 8.5 oz.
• The cost of the Ouidad NEW Climate Control Defrizzing Conditioner is $8 for 2.5 oz or $20 for 8.5 oz.

Deb's Review of the Ouidad NEW Climate Control Defrizzing Shampoo:  The Shampoo is an extremely gentle shampoo.  It is perfect for normal or even chemically treated hair.  The shampoo helps to protect the curls while maintaining color without the added stress to the hair.  This shampoo is a sulfate-free formula, which means it cleanses the hair without stripping it of the natural oils.  This shampoo contains Panthenol (Pro Vitamin B5) for added moisture.  Shea Butter, Ceramide 2, Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate also assist in providing a residual layer of microspheres that will attach to the hair for long lasting effects.  With this combination, it controls the frizz and "fly-aways".  My daughter has naturally curly hair and this product is perfect for her!

Deb's Review of the Ouidad NEW Climate Control Defrizzing Conditioner:  The conditioner is also sulfate-free and hydrates those dry curls!  The conditioner is also safe and recommended for color treated, permed, or even straightened curls.  The conditioner has amino acids that penetrate the hair shaft, infusing strands for well-defined smoothness. Often our hair needs that balance with all of the humidity and frizz.  This conditioner is optimal for these reasons.  The Shea Butter, Ceramide 2, Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate provide that humidity shield necessary for controlling those frizzies!  The conditioner also has wheat amino acids, which assist in conditioning and repair.  Again, a must-try product for anyone with curly or wavy hair!

WHERE CAN YOU GET OUIDAD PRODUCTS?:  Ouidad products are available at Ouidad.com, at Ouidad certified salons nationwide and also at Sephora.  Go here to find a salon or retailer near you!
