Spa for Ma Sponsor Spotlight: Pure Bliss Essentials #Spa4Ma


What's a wonderful way to pamper ma? Give her some swanky bath and beauty products! What woman doesn't love fresh, clean smelling, handmade soap? Or luscious, thick and creamy lip balm? There's something about handmade products that is just more appealing than products manufactured in a factory, don't you agree?

Pure Bliss Essentials is located in Portland, Oregon and was established in 2007. Grace Antares is the founder and raised Pure Bliss from the ground up. She takes great pride in her products as each soap is a labor intensive process. She sees to it that each soap is done to perfection, using only the finest ingredients. You won't find parabens or phalates in Pure Bliss Essentials products!

Spa for Ma Sponsor Spotlight: Teamotions #Spa4Ma

Our handcrafted teas blended with adaptogen herbs foster and support emotional well-being, transforming a simple cup of tea into a truly healing experience.

I am a coffee drinker. I drink it day and night. I get twitchy, although my husband might use another term that rhymes with twitchy, when I don't get my coffee. However, I do like tea. I love Jasmine Green Tea. I love Chai Tea. English Breakfast Tea. My most favorite tea is Earl Grey Tea. Mmm, haven't had that in a while!

Meet and Greet Monday: Coupons are Great

Coupons are Great
Your Name: Leandrea

Where do you blog? Coupons Are Great

How did you decide on what to name your blog? When I started using coupons I was so excited. I really liked the "I Heart" sites, but I knew that was someone else's idea. Since my site was about saving with coupons and I thought coupons were great...the name was born. It seems like three word names are pretty popular. However, if I could redo my name I would. Because my site contains the word "Coupons" my emails get sent to spam on a regular basis. It is very frustrating!

Spa for Ma Sponsor Spotlight: K-Y INTENSE #Spa4Ma

Note: This is a family friendly blog, the links provided my contain terminology unsuitable for children.

What can I say about K-Y INTENSE? I can tell you that it is appealing to dogs and makes for an 'INTENSE' chew toy. Yep, my dog, Max, enjoyed my sample of K-Y INTENSE as his very own chew toy. Now if only I could get him to give me his own product review. :P  I'd say from the remains that it would be a positive review. I mean, come on, this 'chew toy' had a nice liquid inside that his others don't! From cleaning up the lovely mess he left for me, I can also tell you that it smells nice, is silky in texture and is not sticky.

Spa for Ma Sponsor Spotlight: Lilla Rose - Flexi Clips with Kim #Spa4Ma


Before my participation in the Spa for Ma blog event I had never heard of Lilla Rose. When the pitch came in I ventured over to the website and saw what has to be the most beautiful hair accessories on the market. That is, aside from tiaras *snicker* *snicker*. I browsed through the online store and I loved each and every flexi-clip I saw. How would I ever pick one to review? Let me tell you, I browsed the pages over and over before finally deciding.

Spa for Ma Sponsor Spotlight: Fake Bake #Spa4Ma


We all know how dangerous tanning beds are for us, right? We also know that laying out in the sun without proper skin protection is also dangerous. Yet many continue to tempt fate and do it anyway. I'd venture to guess that a good part of the population thinks that self tanners make your skin turn orange. And maybe years ago that was the case. Well times have changed and there are several reliable products on the market now.

Carmex Review & Giveaway


Did you know that Carmex has added Lime Twist to their collection? If you're like  me and LOVE key lime pie, you're going to love this new Carmex flavor. It's not a super strong aroma or taste, it's subtle but there.

My son, who underwent reconstructive lip surgery after a dog bite a few months ago, is supposed to wear sunscreen on his lip daily. Well to put sunscreen on his face is a chore, to say the least. He's 6yrs old and puts up a fight! But he will put this on, loves to actually, and we rub a little extra on his scar. Why? Because it contains SPF 15, as well as all of the other moisturizing ingredients of the Carmex lip balm line. However, these new premium lip balms contain three additional moisturizers not found in the original line.
