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

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.”

Live Like An Aristocrat

February 18, 2016tabbyspantry 17 Comments

This Vacation Package Let’s You Live Like An Aristocrat

Crom_Castle_private enterance

You want to be treated like royalty this vacation? You’ve got it. Honestly, this new vacation

package will treat you like you are part of the aristocratic family as your host, Ireland’s 7th Earl of

Erne opens up his castle to you for a three night stay. Exclusive tours, rubbing shoulders with

other prominent figures-it all will unfold with this new vacation package. Not convinced yet?

Here are just a few more reasons why you might just want to ditch the beach this year and head

to Ireland instead.

Crom Castle Boathouse

Three Nights Stay in Crom Castle

This working Irish castle will be your home for three nights. As you will be hosted by a member

of the aristocracy, you will be treated just like a member of the family by his staff. In fact, they

won’t let you lift a finger as they take your luggage to your room and prepare you drinks in the

conservatory. Aside from the castle itself, you will also receive exclusive access and tours around

the luxurious grounds.

The Earl of Erne

You Will Be Hosted By The Earl of Erne

John Critchton, the 7th Earl of Erne will be welcoming you into his family home and hosting you

during your stay. The home has been in his family for generations and he will see to it that you

feel welcomed. Earl Critchton will introduce you to other prominent figures and give you tours

of the surrounding area that only he could get you access to.

private castle dining room

You Will Be Wined And Dined

From a four course dinner in the conservatory and a full Irish Breakfast to afternoon tea and

pre-dinner cocktails, you will be spoiled with your choices in fine dining. Guests will be taken for

pints in local Irish bars and receive a gala dinner in their honor.

You Will Get Exclusive Tours

Guests at Crom Castle should be prepared for afternoon boat trips around the grounds, tours of

other aristocratic properties, walking tours of historic towns and access to other castles.

Crom Full Bathroom - Copy

You Will Meet Lords And Ladies

That’s right, you will meet living, breathing lords and ladies during your exclusive tour. The Earl

will introduce guests to his cousins the Lord and Lady Anthony Hamilton at their own private

You Will Have Exclusive Transport

One of the biggest hassles of traveling is the trains, planes and automobiles that are required to

get you to each destination. This tour takes the grunt work out of the experience by providing

private, comfortable and luxurious transport to get you from one destination to the next.

If you do decide to live like an Aristocrat this vacation, then there are plenty of other things that you must see whilst you’re in Northern Ireland. The titantic museum in Belfast, the Giant’s Causeaway, the Mussenden temple and Derry city walls are all popular tourist attractions for very good reasons. And if you decide this isn’t the hotel for you, then don’t be put off visiting as there are plenty of amazing hotels in derry, Belfast, and Omagh to name just a few.

Who else is excited for such an awesome vacation?

Lady Gaga set the 2016 Grammy Awards red carpet

Lady Gaga at the 2016 Grammy Awards

Hair By Frederic Aspiras For L’ANZA Healing Haircare

LOS ANGELES, CA – FEBRUARY 15: Lady Gaga arrives at the The 58th GRAMMY Awards at Staples Center on February 15, 2016 in Los Angeles City. (Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImage)

Lady Gaga set the 2016 Grammy Awards red carpet on fire last night with a special look to honor the legend of David Bowie and his musical legacy. Her flaming red Ziggy / Gaga hair look was styled by Frederic Aspiras for L’ANZA Healing Haircare.

How the Style Was Created

Keratin Healing Oil Shampoo Design Foam polyester-RGB

Aspiras first washed Lady Gaga’s hair with L’ANZA Keratin Healing Oil Shampoo and L’ANZA Keratin Healing Oil Conditioner.

After towel drying he applied L’ANZA Healing Style Polyester on top of her hair, for texture, volume and shine.

He then applied L’ANZA Healing Style Design Foam to the remainder of her hair including the ends.

Aspiras then created two hair sections, separating the top from the bottom. Using a small round brush he blow-dried the top back of the hair for further volume.

He blow-dried the lower section with a large round brush, to give the style movement and a soft curl.

Using a large 2-inch curling iron, Aspiras then curled the sides towards the back and center, then curled the back of the hair going upwards. He pinned each curl with a clip and allowed it to cool.

After removing the clips and letting the curls drop, he gave them a light misting of L’ANZA Healing Style Dry Texture Spray. He then used a large paddle brush to brush out the curls.

He then applied L’ANZA Healing Style Beach Spray throughout.

Next Aspiras used L’ANZA Healing Style Sculpt Dry Clay to piece and mold the top and sides. He also noted that Dry Clay is great for fly-aways.

To finish the look and for lasting hold and bounce, Aspiras applied a final misting of L’ANZA Keratin Healing Oil Lustrous Finishing Spray.

Forever Cool Instant cooling towel

February 16, 2016tabbyspantry

feb 2016 010

I was so excited when I got the chance to review this towel. We had seen infomercials about these towels. My dad and I always debate whether we should order one, now we have the answer yes you should order it. Want even better news you can actually get it right off Amazon.

feb 2016 021

In the summer here we get so hot no matter what I am doing. My daily walk, gardening, or just playing with little guy you can get over heated fast. This towel is perfect. Just taking it out of the package I could feel it was already cooler then the temp in the house. That was without it even being activated yet.

feb 2016 022

This towel is very easy to get it cooling down. Take the towel out pour water over it, snap it in the air and let the cooling begin.

This is a very different kind of fabric, It is a rubbery fabric but not uncomfortable. I just lay in over my shoulder against the back of my neck and it cools me down instantly. With summer coming I would recommend this to everyone. It even has 45 UPF to help protect your skin from the sun.
