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.

Last day to enter the Giveaway! Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce ~ Review AND Giveaway!! **ENTER TO WIN**

Over the past week my family and I have been reviewing The Original Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce.  I must say, we are officially fans for life!!  This sauce is amazing.  When we first opened the box I read this can used on chicken, fries, barbeque and more.  I thought hmm, even fries?  YES!  We made grilled chicken and french fries for lunch Saturday.  We used the sauce on the chicken and then we used the sauce to dip the fries, opposed to ketchup.  WOW!  This sauce is amazing!!  It makes me want to go out and try their other products!  They don't just have this All Purpose Sauce, they have barbeque sauce, seasoning salts, gift packs, cookbooks, apparel and more!  Go here to view the Country Bob's product line!  I cannot believe how versatile this All Purpose Sauce can be and I cannot wait to dig into their product line a little more!  

"In 1968 Country Bob perfected the sauce of his dreams. After years of giving the sauce to friends and family he began to sell it in 1977. The reaction was overwhelming just as it is today. 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!

You can also click here to see what store near you carries the Country Bob's product line.  I was surprised I have many locations close to me!

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!
