Deb's Review of the Complete Dry Rub Gift Set:  I am in love with these rubs!  I cannot express the high-quality they maintain in their rubs.  We have tried the Chipotle BBQ, the Jamaican Jerk and the Cracked Pepper so far, and love them all!  I cannot wait to try the Yummy Chicken, Barabicu and the Sabroso!  My kids are sometimes pretty particular about trying new things, as I am sure yours can be too.  They loved it!  These spices are very well packaged and worth every penny!  This particular gift set ships for only $30.00 and includes a Knox's Dry Rub Recipe Booklet!  There are some recipes in there I cannot wait to try out!  If you normally purchase spices and rubs, you know how pricey they are in the grocery stores and markets.  These very much larger than I ever anticipated.  They will last awhile!!  I am officially hooked!

Orthobean - Review and GIVEAWAY **ENTER NOW**

PRODUCTS BEING REVIEWED:  The Ring and The Curve


PRODUCT AND COMPANY OVERVIEW:  Orthobean products were created while Jimmy was recovering from many surgeries on his foot, after an accident.  Many things were placed under his foot in an attempt to alleviate some of the pain.  Nothing seemed to work.  Many did not have enough cushion, some had the cushion but it did not relieve any of the pressure.  Finally, through a process of consultation with medical professionals, physical therapists and consumers, the Orthobean family of products was formed.   Exhaustive research, countless designs, and feedback from their research consultants yielded the Orthobean family of products.  Products to help you live your active life with more comfort everyday!!


$ COST:  Orthobean has 4 orthopedic products ranging in price from $24.95 to $59.95.  They feature The Bow, the Ring, the Curve and The Bodybean.  Go here to view their products and learn a little more about their wonderful versatility!

Deb's Review of The Ring:  The Ring is larger, and therefore many like to use it at home. However, I like mine while I am riding in the car, at a sporting event, or when I am just watching TV.  The Ring is the one!  Cuddle up with the Ring anyplace and let it mold to the shape of your body and eliminate pressure points. The Ring is perfect for:

• Home Comfort
• Auto Comfort
• Travel Comfort
• Sporting Events
• Support Surface
• Off-Load Limbs
• Care Gifting
• Dorm Rooms at School
• Post Procedure Comfort

Deb's Review of The Curve:  The Curve can be used not only to support your neck but also your shoulders, legs, arms…the possibilities are endless.  The unique design of the curve allows it to support any body part you choose.  The stretchy spandex/nylon cover allows airflow to reduce heat while the millions of ultra-slippery microbeads contour and support anywhere you choose.The Orthobean Curve is perfect for:

• Home Comfort
• Auto Comfort
• Travel Comfort
• Sporting Events
• Support Surface
• Off-Load Limbs
• Post Procedure Comfort

What is the secret to the Orthobeans?  I personally believe the secret is all in the microbeads.  Microbead pillows adapt o your desired position and provide support and stability to any part.  Microbead pillows are designed for comfort and durability.  Microbeads will not bunch up like conventional pillows.  Their ability to provide airflow, in conjunction with the spandez/nylon cover allows the pillow to stay cool, no matter how long the pillow is used.  The microbeads are also hypoallergenic.  Many people suffer with allergies, and with the Orthobean products, you do not risk that, since they are all hypoallergenic!  Also, the Orthobean pillows are more versatile than a conventional pillow.  The variety of sizes and shapes allows Orthobean to provide the comfort and support you desire.    

Orthobean is awarding one winner BOTH products I reviewed!  Yes, you get The Curve as well as The Ring!  What an amazing double giveaway!!!  The contest begins now and will run through 12/22/11.  The winner will be announced on 12/23/11 The winner will be chosen via Random.org.  This contest is open to U.S. residents only.  GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

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!

Merah ~ Product review of The Lindsey!

PRODUCT BEING REVIEWED:  The Lindsey earrings by Merah


COMPANY OVERVIEW:  For women who suffer from sensitive ears, the perfect pair of comfortable earrings can change your life.  For years Meredith lived in a single pair of studs as she admired the trendy earrings worn by friends around her. She continuously attempted to wear these dangly jewels, yet always ended the day with painful, irritated ears. Meredith tried sterling silver, nickel free, gold plated, and other kinds of so-called “hypoallergenic” earrings. None worked.  Each and every pair left her with a painful allergic reaction. Solid gold was her last resort, but the prices were outrageous.  Meredith quit her job and decided to start her own earring company.  The result is Merah.  Merah provides stylish earrings, at reasonable prices to women with sensitive ears. 


THE MERAH SECRET:  Their company secret is nickel-free earring hooks made from a material without impurities, like solid gold, but for a fraction of the price. Unlike metals used in other so-called “hypoallergenic” earrings, this nonreactive element is commonly used in medical implants.

 COST$:  The Merah earrings start at about $15.00 a pair and increase depending on the style!!  


DEB'S REVIEW OF THE LINDEY EARRINGS BY MERAH:  I absolutely love the Lindsey earrings by Merah.  They are absolutely beautiful!  My ears are very sensitive, and I cannot wear just any earrings.  I hate it, and often feel like I am held back from some of the beautiful earrings that are available.  I was looking for earrings that I could wear and wandered upon the Merah website.  I reviewed the Lindsey earrings on several occasions, wearing them for over 10 hours each day.  Other earrings sometimes do not make it over a couple of hours!  I had absolutely no problems with these earrings, and they are simply gorgeous!  I had so many compliments on these earrings and I cannot wait until I can wear them again!  These would make an awesome gift for that special person in your life!

Orthobean - Review and spectacular GIVEAWAY ~ enter now, awesome Christmas gifts!

PRODUCTS BEING REVIEWED:  The Bodybean and The Bow


PRODUCT AND COMPANY OVERVIEW:  Orthobean products were created while Jimmy was recovering from many surgeries on his foot, after an accident.  Many things were placed under his foot in an attempt to alleviate some of the pain.  Nothing seemed to work.  Many did not have enough cushion, some had the cushion but it did not relieve any of the pressure.  Finally, through a process of consultation with medical professionals, physical therapists and consumers, the Orthobean family of products was formed.    


$ COST:  Orthobean has 4 orthopedic products ranging in price from $24.95 to $59.95.  They feature The Bow, the Ring, the Curve and The Bodybean.  Go here to view their products and learn a little more about their wonderful versatility!


Deb's Review of The Bodybean:  Orthobean has made me a customer for life!!  I personally reviewed The Bodybean as well as The Bow and I love them both.  Let me start with my personal favorite, The Bodybean.  This is has a "comma" shaped design that offers support to the entire body.  The Bodybean is a favorite for expectant new mothers to aid in their comfort.  Many individuals recovering from some kind of injury or surgery also find comfort in The Bodybean.  The cover is made of spandex/nylon, allowing air flow to reduce heat.  The millions of microbeads contour and assist in the support of the whole body.  It has a firmness that provides support where you need it and also relieves pressure points and pain, all at the same time!  The Bodybean retails for $59.95, and where you might think that is a little on the pricey side, I promise you, it is well worth every penny!  My sleep has improved over the past two weeks tremendously!  My husband keeps wanting to try it out for a night and I just simply cannot part with it, even for a night!!  I no longer wake up feeling tired and sore.  I know my "tossing and turning" has decreased, resulting in a better nights rest.  I never imagined any type of pillow would make such a difference!  I am so pleased with The Bodybean and I recommend it to all!  The Orthobean Bodybean is perfect for:

• Home Comfort
• Expectant or New Mothers
• Dorm Rooms at School
• Care Gifting
• Post Procedure Comfort
• Comfort for Long Car Trips
• Post procedure comfort

Deb's Review of The Bow:  The Bow is such a versatile product and so easy to carry with you anywhere life may take you.  Whether you are riding in the car, at a sporting event, or just trying to curl up with a good book, The Bow would be the one!  Cuddle up with the Bow anyplace and let it mold to the shape of your body and eliminate pressure points. The Bow is perfect for:

• Home Comfort
• Auto Comfort
• Travel Comfort
• Sporting Events
• Support Surface
• Off-Load Limbs
• Care Gifting
• Dorm Rooms at School
• Post Procedure Comfort

What is the secret to the Orthobeans?  I personally believe the secret is all in the microbeads.  Microbead pillows adapt o your desired position and provide support and stability to any part.  Microbead pillows are designed for comfort and durability.  Microbeads will not bunch up like conventional pillows.  Their ability to provide airflow, in conjunction with the spandez/nylon cover allows the pillow to stay cool, no matter how long the pillow is used.  The microbeads are also hypoallergenic.  Many people suffer with allergies, and with the Orthobean products, you do not risk that, since they are all hypoallergenic!  Also, the Orthobean pillows are more versatile than a conventional pillow.  The variety of sizes and shapes allows Orthobean to provide the comfort and support you desire.
