Wholesale Costume Club Review & Giveaway

Picking out costumes for Halloween is so much fun! My little one was so excited to get to pick his costume this year! Although, he had a hard time picking one from Wholesale Costume Club because there are so many to choose from!

We looked at so many. He also changed his mind a few times! Decision making for a 4 year old is sometimes challenging! He finally decided on the Bakugan Battle Brawlers Dragoniod Costume! Bakugan's are the big thing around here for all the little boys! He was excited to get it in the mail and see the wings on it!

Once the order was placed, it took no time at all for it to get here! Fast shipping is a big plus for me! We tore open the package and he wanted to try it on right away! I didn't have a problem with that because I wanted to see how it fit.

To my surprise, it fit him nicely. A little long in the arms and legs, but that is much better than being too short! I was happy with it! The costume features a red and gold jumpsuit with three dimensional foam shoulder armor and detachable wings. It's also topped off with an extremely detailed plastic character mask. This costume is all new for the 2010 Halloween season!

Wholesale Costume Club has a huge variety of boys costumes! That's why it was so hard for him to pick one. Don't have a boy? Don't worry, there are lots of kids costumes to choose from. It will keep you busy for hours! They also have $3.99 flat rate shipping! Hurry and go get started!

Herbal Water Review & Giveaway

Tweet

Share

Herbal Water is a company that makes flavored water by infusing organic herbal extracts in pure artesian water. They use no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives, and no additives of any kind! Herbal water comes in six exotic flavor combinations!

Culinary herbs are the natural way to add real flavor and enhance any food or drink.  For centuries, they have been prized for their calming, stimulating, and aphrodisiac qualities.  Ayala's flavored water harnesses the power of these natural wonders in a delightfully refreshing, mellow, yet complex, aromatic drink.  Enjoy a straight-from-the-garden taste of organic herbal extracts and the crisp freshness of artesian water in every sip.


Ayala's Herbal Water is the first certified organic flavored water that's made from all organic ingredients and available nationwide. It is, in fact, 100% good for you!


For my review, I received all 6 flavors of Herbal Water to try. 

Lemongrass Mint Vanilla

Ayala's Lemongrass Mint Vanilla Herbal Water is a bright medley of crisp flavor notes with a smooth finish.  Awaken your senses with organic lemongrass extract, refreshing spearmint, and the suppleness of real vanilla.

Especially versatile, the citrusy-floral taste of lemongrass gets an added jolt of cool with spearmint, while the vanilla rounds out the mix with a deep and persistent sweetness that lingers pleasantly on the palate.

Try this citrusy-minty-vanilla drink after a workout or yoga class to reenergize your body and mind while maintaining that blissful post-exercise feeling.  Indulge in the sweet aromatic scent and rehydrate with delicious herbs infused in pure water.

My Thoughts:

To me, it tasted like spearmint gum. I could definitely taste the mint, not really much else. Good.

Lavender Mint

Escape into the flavorful and aromatic world of luscious lavender and delicate spearmint with Ayala's Lavender Mint Herbal Water.  Hints of lemongrass and thyme enhance this powerful blend with a citrusy sweetness and subtle clean undertones.

Open the bottle and take a deep breath.  Inhale a scent of organic lavender so fine you can almost feel the warm breeze swaying the fragrant flower buds.  Let the spearmint rejuvenate your senses, while a little lemongrass and thyme ground you in the moment.  Take the first sip and remind your taste buds of the simple delight of real, natural flavor.

My Thoughts:

Kind of a flowery taste. Not bad though. Refreshing and clean.

Lemon Verbena Geranium

 Ayala's Lemon Verbena Geranium Herbal Water is a pure, sensual delight that pairs the crisp, clean taste of lemon verbena with the flowery softness of rose geranium.  Take a diversion into the sweet beyond with this gorgeous herbal blend.

Pair this flowery-citrus beverage with your favorite fruits and other sweet treats.  The rosy flavors and bold lemony notes are primed for rich chocolates and dark berries and enhance subtle melons and custards.

We think of Lemon Verbena Geranium as our most romantic blend and have quickly fallen in love with the graceful floral aromas and clean citrusy finish.  Try it today-maybe you'll find love at first sip, too.

My Thoughts:

This was the only one I didn't care for. To me, it tasted like perfume. It was very strong. That's just my opinion, you may love it!

Cloves Cardamom Cinnamon

 Nourish body and soul with Ayala's Cloves Cardamom Cinnamon Herbal Water.  This robust blend caresses the palate with the warmth of deep, rich flavors from some of the earth's most sensual and ancient spices.

Clove Cardamom Cinnamon was a natural choice for us, and this delicate blend pays homage to the longstanding legacy of spiced chai teas.  These three spices mingle playfully on the taste buds in a full-bodied medley of warm, earthy flavors.

We use only organic cardamom, cinnamon, and clove extract to infuse our beverages and suggest pairing this drink with a delicious, spicy meal.  Of course, it's also good on its own, especially to warm yourself inside-out on chilly days and nights.

My Thoughts:

This is the one that I could taste every ingredient. All of them came through equally. Nice combination.

Cinnamon Orange Peel

Let Ayala's Cinnamon Orange Peel Herbal Water whisk you away with an invigorating and exotic flavor.  Orange peel extract and cinnamon combine citrusy high-notes in an even balance with a subtle, earthy sweetness.

Our Cinnamon Orange Peel beverage blends two delicious and unlikely flavors that undoubtedly belong together.  Sweet orange peel welcomes the hearty warmth of cinnamon, and the result is a delicious drink that's equal parts bright and bold.

We love this blend year round but find its flavors are a wonderful accompaniment to a late summer or early fall afternoon spent outside in the sunshine.  Pair it with your favorite meals or drink it all by itself for a moment of sunny refreshment.

My Thoughts:

I didn't taste the cinnamon in this one. Which is surprising because cinnamon is strong. I tasted the orange a lot. Really good!

Ginger Lemon Peel

Ayala's Ginger Lemon Peel Herbal Water excites taste buds with a bright explosion of flavor!  Lemon peel enhances the spicy warmth of the ginger root with a refreshing, citrusy zing that leaves the palate tingling for more.

Ginger lovers rejoice at this spicy-sweet herbal blend that draws out the best of woody, pungent, and refreshing ginger and pairs it with zippy lemon peel.

We consider ginger lemon peel our mellowest (or lightest) blend and suggest drinking it regularly to accompany everyday living.  Restore your vitality with every sip.

My Thoughts:

This one, by far, was my favorite. To me, it tasted just like unsweetened lemonade! Very nice!

Overall, my impression of Herbal Water is good! Thumbs up! :) Also, if you sign up to received their newsletter, you will receive a $5.00 off coupon! You can also learn a lot more about Herbal Water on their blog!

StaphAseptic Review & Giveaway

Share

As some of you may know, when you have little ones, scraped knees, bumps, and cuts are an everyday occurrence! Maybe you don't have any little ones. Maybe you are just a little clumsy yourself. Or, maybe you have a gear-head husband like myself who is always hurting himself.

Whatever it is, StaphAseptic can help!  It is a first aid/pain relieving gel for minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It helps prevent skin infections from bacteria such as MRSA, staph, strep, and other germs. As a mom and a wife, this is a great thing to me. Last thing I want to do is take a trip to the ER because of an infection that could have been prevented!

It is essential to treat even minor cuts and scrapes with an effective first aid product like StaphAseptic. Additional meansures one can take to prevent bacterial infections include:

• Treating and covering wounds
• Exclusively using personal items like towels, soap, and razors and not sharing 
• Showering after physical activity
• Properly cleaning personal items including gear and equipment after athletic or other extra-curricular activity
• Keeping hands clean

It is also important to consult a physician for active wounds that are red, swollen, painful or have pus (yuck!) or other drainage.

I have started carrying StaphAseptic around in my purse! That way, no matter where I'm at, if a cut or scrape happens along, I will be there like super woman to save the day! Prevention is always a great thing! I am very happy with the product and would recommend you go get some and take the first step to preventing an infection in your house!

One more thing, there is a printable coupon on the website for $1.00 off StaphAseptic to help you get started!
