Curél® Intensive Healing Cream is AMAZING!!!

Hello fellow bloggers and blog readers!
I am here today to give you a review on a product that saved my skin and helped me “save face”. Just recently I had the opportunity to try the Curél® Intensive Healing Cream as a part of a BzzCampaign. A BzzCampaign, for all those you don’t know, is an activity you get to do for being a member of BzzAgent.com. You get products for free to try and then get to share your honest opinion with the company and the world. Pretty Awesome, right? I thought so!
Anyway… I am so absolutely and completely amazed by this product. I tried it for something completely off the wall. I have been suffering really bad for adult acne for the past ten months. I have used everything that I could possibly find to solve this problem. To my surprise, I put a small layer of the Curél® Intensive Healing Cream on my face two to three times a day for about a week. Not only have I noticed a vast difference, so have many of my friends. Talk about saving face!!! (Bad pun… but it works! Lol)
Also, it works great on dry, itchy skin. I have super sensitive skin and most lotions don’t work on me. And, not only do I use it, but so does my husband who works outside in sometimes harsh conditions. The Curél works amazingly on both of our skin types. After just a couple uses we could both tell a difference in our skin, and now after weeks of using it we both have smooth, supple skin. I have honestly not had these kind of results with any other product before. And, I have tried A LOT!
Needless to say, I am totally sold on this product and I can see myself buying this the Curél® Intensive Healing for the rest of my life. It is such a wonderful product. The smell is pleasant. Not too perfumey. The texture is amazing. And best of all my skin loves it which makes me love my skin.

Infantino® Go GaGa Tummy Time Mat

I love this product. My favorite thing about this is that it helps my daughter with head strength. The mirror is a great way to get her to enjoy tummy time. I also love that this mat is a large size and also that it has an adorable growth chart right on the center of the mat. I personally would like a little different colors but heck even that is not really that bad. Thank you for a great product..

"I have received the GO Gaga! Tummy Time Mat from Infantino to facilitate my review.

Dealing with this blogger and this company is a huge headache..

This is how the journey starts.

Crystal,

I am sorry. I cannot guarantee any company to send out a prize they agree to sponsor but some things change with companies. In the disclosure of my giveaways it states i am not responsible for prize delivery. I will follow up with them but I have not not heard anything since last email and I am very sorry about this it does not happen often.

I know you are not responsible.  I appreciate you contacting me about this.  If you want to give me the contact information for the company,  I can contact them directly so that I am not bothering you.  

Thanks again


SO AFTER STILL NOTHING IT IS NOW 10/9/2013 I have sent this to both THINKBABY THINKSPORT https://www.facebook.com/thinkbaby.thinksport AND https://www.facebook.com/SuperFrugalStephanie

It is very sad that this company didn't follow through with sending me the bottle kit that I won through Super Frugal Stephanie. Well after many long months and contacting both the company and the Blogger, I have finally decided 2 things. One the bottle starter kit is never going to be sent, as I was told and also that I am going to write this review and soon will be writing my blog about products that will be completely negative because of this experience. When I contact the original Blogger she instructed me that she provided this company with my mailing information so that they could send me the kit. However, when I contact the company I am told that all the blogger has to do is provide them with the information. Well, it is now October and I won more than 6 months ago. I am highly disappointed with the blogger and this company for not keeping their word. One word: despicable!

10. Crystal Lucas They tell me that it you guys supply the product to the winners not them. Neither of you are taking any responsibility for the issue, just dodging blame.

11. Crystal Lucas This is directly from Super Frugal Stephanie : Crystal,

It clearly states in all of my giveaway disclosures that i am NOT responsible for prize shipment. Entering the giveaways do not guarantee anything. IF the company decides not to send out the prize it is not my fault. I run a reputable blog and your post on my blog was unnecessary as i have communicated with you and answered every email to the best of my knowledge. Please read the disclosures on the giveaways before entering them. EVERY blogger has a similar disclosure as we do not work for these companies we just run things for them they offer to run a giveaway we just follow their directions. This is my FIRST company ever to not send a prize AND i promise you i will send them an assertive email as well as call if i can find their phone number.

Again i am sorry BUT trying to hurt me on my facebook wall is not the correct route of communication. If you want to speak to the company in that manner please do so but do not communicate something like this on my wall when i have in fact answered all your emails and told you every step i have done.

I will contact them AGAIN because they did not send me anything to mail to you and i have their emails stating send us the prize winner and we will mail out their prizes. They complete direct involvement in this situation it was their giveaway they asked me to run. I am not dodging ANYTHING i have a good reputation you are my first complaint EVER of no prize received so it certainly makes me wonder.

I will respond back to you when i hear a response and i will also email you all the emails. As of right now this discussion is over till i respond back to you. I am 8 1/2 months pregnant about to go in labor and refuse to have you stress me out over a petty giveaway prize that is out of my control. Read the facts and read the disclosure. I am NOT responsible.


Clearly a headache and makes you lose faith in a company. . This not the first company I have had issues with and I tried of getting scammed by anyone! Although I am sorry to be bothering a pregnant women, I don't feel this is right.

Skinny Cow Divine Filled Chocolates

Chocolate Chocolate Chocolate!! Does that make your mouth water? If so how about peanut butter creme & chocolate? Well, that is my "drug of choice". I can't live life without this powerful combination however, it always seems to add on the extra calories that I am just not looking for. Is this you?


This is going to be the post for you. I got a coupon for a free box of Skinny Cow Divine Filled Chocolates and although most healthy options suck I have can finally say this one does not. So here is the skinny on this yummy treat.



In the box you get 6 1oz pouches and in each pouch are 3 squares of goodness.


I thought at first that there just would be enough to hit my sweet tooth but I think that I was wrong. The flavor is perfect to cure it. My husband didn't agree with that but heck he has a healthy man appetite. 

The one thing that I think is the biggest flaw in this product is that pink and white package. I just don't see anyone but women eating it. Maybe that is the whole point but with such great flavor you would think that everyone could enjoy it. 

So the next time you are wanting something sweet and delicious grab a package of  :

Skinny Cow Divine Filled Chocolates

Platex Balconette underwire

Do your boobs hang low do they swing to and fro? Well if you said yes then I have the thing for you. I just got to try the Platex Balconette underwire for free by being a bzzagent. Let me tell you at first I was in love with this bra. The support that you get is amazing. I put it on right away and it fit so well and made me feel fantastic. The honeymoon ended quickly as the wire was digging into my rib. I was devastated because man this bra is fantastic in every other way. The nude color was great. The cup size, shape and control all wonderful. It put the girls where the girls should have been hanging out in the first place. Then when I put a shirt on over it WOW!! I looked great, it made me look slimmer by having the girls in the right place. SO how do I feel. Well, I think that the bra is good for your day if you can handle a little bit of un-comfortableness but long time wear would not be recommended by me. For a retail price of $37 you get the sexy support you want... I think it is still a winner to me.

Schick Hyrdro Silk

Hello Again, As you all know by now, I am a BzzAgent … and as a BzzAgent, I get the amazing opportunity to try new products for free and get to give my opinion to my friends… you guys! Today I am here to tell you all about the Schick Hydro Silk Razor that I got in my most recent BzzCampaign. Here are the facts: First, Schick Hyrdro Silk has five curve sensing blades that give you a close, smooth shave every time. What do I mean by curve sensing? Well, curve sensing blades are independently supported blades that allow the razor to flow effortlessly with your body’s natural shape. Plus, they have skin guards that prevent nics and skin irritations. Next, It has a water activated moisturizing serum that helps keep your skin smooth for up to two hours after shaving. It contains shea butter and marine extracts that help restore the natural moisture balance to your skin. I compared this razor to the Venus that I normally use, and I have to say that, while they both have their ups and downs, I do prefer the Schick Hydro Silk. What I like most about this razor compared to the Venus is that it has an angled handle that keeps the blade off of the showers edge… keeping it from getting gooey. Also, I like that it doesn’t have the intrusive moisture bars like what I have been using. It just seems more fit for a woman’s body. The only think I didn’t like is that the suction cup holder does not like to stick to my wall. Lol. All in all, I would suggest this to anyone who is looking for a good razor at a good price. How much of a good price? How about $4 off? All you gotta do is like Schick Hydro Silk on Facebook to receive your printable coupon. Go to https://www.facebook.com/SchickHydroSilk to get your coupon!
