AHAVA Sea-kissed Hand Cream

feb 2016 014 feb 2016 038

The first thing I noticed when I got this was the beautiful packaging. This really did call to me. With the sea green coloring and the sparkles it really was beautiful. What can I say I must have anything with sparkles.

feb 2016 017

I am always looking for a good hand cream that won’t leave my skin oily. I have a lot to during the day between working on the computer, cooking and cleaning I don’t want my hands to be greasy. AHAVA not only left my hands soft and moisturized, it also left no oily residue after. Living in Colorado a good hand cream is necessary my skin gets so dry. I am washing them all day long and with the dry air it can be torture. This hand cream really did help.

feb 2016 018

This hand cram had a fresh ocean smell to it. I grew up next to the beach so the fresh ocean smell is very relaxing for me. The smell is not over whelming it is juts strong enough to give you a light whiff of it.

I was truly impressed with this hand cream and would recommend it to everyone. You will not be disappointed with this one.

The Aeos Optimal Essentials Blue kit came with

feb 2016 019

I had no idea that this kit would come with so many fantastic products. When I went to use them I was even more excited to find out that they were sprays. I have never seen a spray wash, cleanser, or serum. They are so easy to use just spray on your face and clean, or work in. One of my favorite things was there was no mess from it. I did not use too much or too little and it did not leak on my counters. It was really very neat to use. I would buy this set just for that.

feb 2016 015

There is so much more I did not have any reaction to any of these products. I have combo sensitive skin and this was fantastic on my skin. No allergic reaction and it cleaned and moisturized fantastic. This is also a perfect travel set. Everything is perfect size for travel and will work wonders on your skin. Why use the cheep stuff from the hotels when you can bring spa quality with you. Everything in this set smells like a spa. I am truly in love with this set.

The Perfumes they offer each have their own unique top middle and base notes. Every single one of these has a beautiful smell. If you love the woodsy smell the flower smell or the citrus they have the perfect one for you. I also love that these did not have long hard to remember names. You just have to remember the two digit number and that is the name.

feb 2016 017

I was especially impressed with 80 it had a very sweet and flowery smell to it. I have never smelled anything like it before. 56 was my second favorite there is just something about the smell of jasmine that I just love. No matter which one you go for you are sure to love it.

Rhea Footwear Ankle Boot Review

February 25, 2016tabbyspantry 2 Comments

feb 2016 030 feb 2016 010

I love a cute pair of boots. There are so many ways to dress them up or dress them down. Until now all I have had was higher boots. I never found the cute ankle boot that just caught my eye. These ones were so cut I was excited to get them. Two things I loved when I put them on were they are true to size, and they are so comfy. As someone who has broken her ankle wearing heals can sometimes be very uncomfortable and tricky. These were not only easy to walk in but I also wore them for hours and they were comfy. The style of these boots really do go with everything. I can even wear them with a cute pair on legging and they become an adorable statement piece.

feb 2016 032

Avery a Shoplet Review

feb 2016 007 feb 2016 010

I have grown to love Shoplet they have a wide range of Office Supplies, Cleaning Supplies, Medical Supplies, and Office furniture. No matter if you are looking for items for your office, or home office you are sure to find what you are looking for here. They have everything you need to keep your life and your business going. Best of all they have great prices and a very low free shipping rate.

feb 2016 008 feb 2016 009

I have used Avery labels for years but I never knew they had self laminating ones. These will come in so handy not only for everyday life. Like keeping mine and hubby’s coffee cups separated, but also for labeling travel bottles and stuff in the garage. Now we can wipe the labels clean without ruining them.

feb 2016 032 feb 2016 034

These are so easy to use. Just print or write what you would like on the label. Fold the paper take off backing. It will seal your label in. Then just Pull off laminated label and you are ready to stick any were. They were very easy to use and I love that I can now leave the labels on the coffee cup and just wipe clean. Everyone at hubby’s work has the same cup. Now they will not be getting mixed up all day.

Love & Lotus Natural body products review

February 22, 2016tabbyspantry 1 Comment

feb 2016 042 feb 2016 041

I am a bath and body product lover. I am always looking for something great and new and with Love & lotus I have found it. She not only makes fantastic products but they are also affordable. If you like Natural homemade bath products you will not find better then Love & Lotus. The products truly smell fantastic and work fantastic. The scents smell wonderful and they are not overwhelming. When my husband first smelled me he even said wow that smells amazing. She carries a wide range of products so weather you are looking for whipped body butter, bath salts or lip balm she has it all.

feb 2016 040

Some of the fantastic stuff I got to try.

Soothing Mineral Bath Soak

feb 2016 006 feb 2016 007

Sage, Sweet grass & Cedar

Spa

I love great bath salts. These were relaxing and smelled fantastic.

Whipped Body Butter

Serendipity

feb 2016 018

Sleeping In a Hut

feb 2016 013

Toasted Almond Show Cakes

feb 2016 010

Body Ganja

feb 2016 012

I can’t say enough about her whipped body butter. My two favorites were the serendipity and the sleeping in the hut. I am happy to announce the Sleeping in the Hut was a seasonal scent that she has decided to bring back. I would suggest stocking up on this one before its gone again. The lotions were rich and creamy. They soaked right into my skin. I could not stop sniffing myself after using these.

Lip Butter / Lip Sugar

feb 2016 009 feb 2016 019

Coconut Lemongrass

Peace of Mind

The lip balms were fantastic. As most of you know I always have a collection of lip balms with me at all times. These went on smooth left my lips feeling great. They were not oily but still left my lips shinny. This was the first time I used a lip sugar. It really does help. It helped smooth out my lips so lip sticks looked smoother. It also tasted great. Not that I would lick my lips after. Lol

Sea Salt Scrub

Blackberry Sage

feb 2016 016

Whipped Sugar Butter Soap Scrub

feb 2016 017 feb 2016 015

Blood Orange & Peppermint

Caribbean Islands

The only scrubs I have used before were the mass produced. You know the ones I think they are made with sand, they always get plugged and they don’t dissolve. That can’t be good for my pipes. These ones not only left my skin smooth, they smelled great. I also love that salt and sugar dissolve. They won’t get stuck in my pipes when I drain the tub.

Foaming Facial Wash

feb 2016 014

Sea Goddess

When I saw this was a foaming face wash I was a little skeptical at first. I did not see how this could be foaming with the graduals and an almost solid wash. I was very surprised that you needed to use very little of this and it foamed fantastic. It left my skin feeling clean and smooth. I have combo skin and this was fantastic for my oily parts and my dryer parts.

FlipFlop Balm

feb 2016 008

Very cute Owl Shape

The FlipFlop balm is so cute for little ones. This one was Hootinberry. It had a slight flavor and was a cute design that kids would love. If you have a little one who just refuses to use Chap Stick I would completely recommend giving this a try. It works great and has a cute design.

I truly loved Love & Lotus and would recommend them to everyone out there. Whether you want to spoil yourself or just relax a little these products are fantastic.

LuLaRoe Clothing Review and Giveaway

February 20, 2016tabbyspantry 22 Comments

feb 2016 001 feb 2016 007

As you all know I love great fashion. What’s even better is being able to shop online and know what that the clothes you are getting are not only great quality, and a great price, but very cute too. I cannot tell you how many times I bought a cute dress online just to get it and it is just worthless falling apart or just does not look like the picture. With LuLaRoe this will not be a problem at all. The biggest problem you will have is not buying too many cute outfits all at once.

The Nicole dress came in so many designs no matter what your style is you will find the one that is perfect for you. I also love that they make a minimum number in each design, which means you will not see 100 different women wearing your fabulous dress. They material on this dress was not only soft but stretchy. If you are like me and maybe go up and down a few pounds this is a perfect dress for you. It is going to fit whether you are having your let’s call them bloated day or your skinny day.

feb 2016 004 feb 2016 027

So let me tell you a little story about leggings. I have not worn a pair since the 7^th grade. I always thought they would be tight and uncomfortable. There is nothing worse than sitting down and your clothes are tight. I thought for sure they were going to cut into my no so perfect six pack stomach. Boy was I wrong I think these are now my favorite pants. I did not have to suck and squeeze into them. When I am wearing them it’s like a second skin. Best of all they are like a great pair on spanks that you don’t have to cover up. While they helped hold everything in they had great style that I could dress up. I have seen the light I am now a believer in leggings.

feb 2016 005 feb 2016 031

When I opened the leggings the first thing I notices was how soft the fabric was. Think of you cuddliest blanket made into a cute pair of leggings. That is what you will get with them. They have a ton of different designs to choose from and best of all they are one size fits all. This means no worry about getting the wrong size. The stitching on these is fantastic and there were no loose threads at all.

feb 2016 041 feb 2016 036

To shop their fantastic style head over to their Facebook Group. They will keep you informed on their new styles and designs. You can also shop right from their page. They will invoice your right on paypal. They have very fast shipping and great customer service.

SNOWTIME Hits The Theaters Feb 19th #SnowTimeMovie

SNOWTIME

Hits The Theaters Feb 19th #SnowTimeMovie

snowtime

I was so excited when we got the change to watch SNOWTIME. This awesome movie will be in theaters February 19^th. My son loved this movie, it keep him sucked in to the very end. As a mom from California who now lives in Colorado this time of year all I see is cold and snow. Sometimes it takes a cute movie to remind you of the beauty of snow and how much fun it can actually be.

The charters in this movie are well thought out they are cute and entertaining. The songs are perfect. All together I would say this was a great movie for us. It made a great family movie night. If you are looking for a cute fun adventure that will teach your kids a lesson this is a must see for you.

P.S I am now ready for a family snowball fight. A friendly one of course.

UPDATE:

I always write my reviews when I am half way done with the movie. That way I don’t give away the ending. I had to write an update to this one. There was truly a heart breaking moment near the end. You will have to watch to see it I don’t want to give away spoilers. Just be ready for it

snowtime2

More about it.

“New animated feature SNOWTIME! is a romp through childhood full of heart and humor. To amuse themselves during the winter school break, the kids in a small village decide to have a massive snowball fight. Luke and Sophie, both 11 years old, become the leaders of the opposing sides. Sophie and her cohorts defend an elaborate snow fort against the assault of Luke’s horde. Whichever side occupies the fort at the end of the winter break, wins. But what starts out as pure youthful fun and enthusiasm deteriorates into a more serious conflict, where children learn valuable life lessons on friendship, the importance of unity, and the emotional consequences of vicious rivalry. The film’s underlying message – neither side wins in war – is as relevant today as ever.

Based on the acclaimed live-action film classic La Guerre des Tuques (The Dog Who Stopped the War), SNOWTIME! is a captivating cinematic adventure about hope and friendship. The film explores the sometimes mercurial relations between friends during childhood, and the role that enthusiastic competition and energizing solidarity play in the lives of children.”
