Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners

Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners




I received a box of Reynolds Slow cooker Liners from +Crowdtap free for a review.
I was so excited to get them in the mail because we make a lot of meals in a slow cooker. I tried them out the next few days after I got them I made a baked ziti and I used my slow cooker to make the sauce for it and I made Beans and ham.

Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners fit on 3 to 6.5 quart round and oval cookers and they are so easy to use all you do is:

  1. Open the slow cooker lid fit the liner inside snugly against the bottom and sides of the bowl; pull top of liner over rim of the bowl
  2. Place your ingredients inside the slow cooker; turn it on and cook following your recipe
  3. Serve meal from slow cooker
  4. Cool slow cooker completely; remove liner and throw it away.

The liners fit very well in my slow cooker and made the clean up process so easy so now with Reynolds slow cooker liners I do not have to carry my slow cooker around to clean it up I can just easily take the bag out and throw it away! 
I am so glad that I was given the opportunity to try these and will be buying them from now on! 


Below I have the recipe for Baked Ziti only the sauce is made in the slow cooker.

  • 1/2 pound ground beef

Baby Sun Shades

 Baby Sun Shades






I got these Baby sun shades free for a review from tomoson!

About the product:


  • CAR SUN SHADE WITH GREAT COVERAGE; 60% thicker than other shades, these sun shades by Tidy Ridey have been specifically designed to offer great coverage of windows, preventing excessive sun exposure, reducing heat and making your kids much more comfortable as well.
  • SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY; thanks to the thickness of the material, the Tidy Ridey Car Sun Shades provide the highest level of sun protection, reducing sun light and glare helping your child nap with ease. These sun shades eliminate up to 97% of UV rays, offering an outstanding UPF of 35.
  • ATTRACTIVE AND SLEEK, EXTRA LARGE BABY CAR WINDOW SHADE; when fully opened, these eye sun shades measure 19.4 x 14.2 inches, so they can fit the windows of most vehicles. The pack ships with an attractive pouch so when not in use, the baby car window screen can be easily folded and stored inside the pouch.
  • BONUS SUCTION CUPS; order this set of 2 baby sun shades and you'll get a free bonus: 2 EXTRA suction cups! There is nothing more annoying than losing a suction cup for your sun shade. That is why we include two extra back ups. This is a totally risk-free purchase so order with confidence



What I think:

They fit very well in my car and helped really keep the sun out it was way better then the one I was using before. I like that they provide extra suction cups just in case, I have not used the extra ones but am glad I have them if I need them. The suction is pretty good on these. Overall I really liked the protection I got from the sun and they are pretty cheap for what you get.

Oishii Kitchen Utensil Set

Oishii Kitchen Utensil Set 




I got this kitchen utensil set and it came with a slotted spatula, solid serving spoon, slotted spoon, pasta server, serving ladle and drainer.

They are made with stainless steel and black silicone. I like the design and they are very strong they are not bendy. I also like that they are made of silicone because that way when I am cooking all my pans are not getting scratched up. 
They are also heat resistant up to 440 degrees and they are dish washer safe which is also a plus!! 







Here is a video also about them and showing them off. 

Garnier SkinActive Party

Garnier SkinActive Party



I am a member of +Crowdtap and they recently sent me a Garnier SkinActive Party kit in the kit I got- 
  • 8 bottles of Garnier Skinactive Micellar cleansing water makeup remover
  • 2 bottles of Garnier Skinactive Micellar cleansing water waterproof makeup remover
  • 11 boxes of Garnier Skinactive Clearly Brighter 
  • makeup cleaning pads
  • $10 visa gift card

All of my friends were really excited about trying out these new products I gave out the products to them so they could all try them out and honestly every single one of my friends liked the products and so did I. I am going to talk a little about each product and share my thoughts.


Garnier Skinactive Clearly Brighter- 

I really like the design of the bottle it is really nice and easy to use and the product has a really nice smell. When I put a dab on my finger it reminded me of a lotion kind of feel and look. I started rubbing it into my skin and realized that a little goes a long way with this product which is always a good thing. It spread evenly on my skin and gave my skin a smooth feel and it did not make my skin oily so I will be using it from now on for sure!



Garnier Skinactive Micellar Cleansing Water-

I had a long day and was ready to get my makeup off and go to bed so I tried out this product. It was so easy to use all you do is put a small amount on a makeup cleaning pad and wipe over your skin to remove eye makeup you hold the cleaning pad over your closed eyes for a few seconds and then gently wipe away there is no rinsing required which is great! After cleaning my face all my makeup was removed in a short amount of time and my skin was so soft, there was also no oily feel to my face. I love this product and will be using it from now on it is for sure the best makeup remover I have tried. 



My friend also took a photo of her results after using Garnier Skinactive Micellar cleansing water! 


Everyone with the products! 

The products are awesome and I am happy that Crowdtap sent them to me free for a review and to share with friends we all loved it!!

Zim's Max Crack Creme


 Zim's Max Crack Creme



I got a free sample of Zim's max crack creme for reviewing and here is the product description.

Zim's Max CRACK Creme Original Liquid Formula 2 oz is an All-Natural multi-use liquid herbal formula that softens and moisturizes dry, cracked skin. Recommended for nighttime use but can be used throughout the day as well. Use on Hands, Feet, Elbows, Cuticles & More. It was developed by a pharmacist over 60 years ago when cement workers came to him complaining of dry, cracked skin on their hands and feet. This oil formula features Arnica Flower Extract and Myrcia Oil.
Our original liquid and creamy daytime products are ideal for the dry split fingers often associated with dry atmosphere weather in wintertime or southwestern climates.

I was not a big fan of this product I did not expect it to be straight liquid but it really is and it made my skin really sticky and gross feeling plus I did not like the smell. I also did not notice any change in my skin from using it either. I would not buy this and I would not recommend it but if you want to check it out here is the link--   http://www.zimsusa.com/skin-care/zims-max-crack-creme-original-liquid-formula/

Jingle VoxBox

Jingle VoxBox



I am a member of +Influenster and they recently sent me a Jingle VoxBox.  
I am going to tell about my experience with each product! 





I got Cetaphil moisturizing cream and there are several things I like about it.
I like that it is fragrance free and I love how fast it absorbs into my skin and it does not leave a greasy feeling! My skin gets really dry in the winter weather and Cetaphil moisturizing cream has really helped hydrate my skin and keeping it at it's best.





I got a Hallmark Ittybitty in Spiderman and my son loves it. They are so small and so cute and a really great gift for anyone there is a large variety of choices. 






NYC New York Color Cityproof 24HR waterproof eyeliner in Dark Brown  is what I am wearing in this picture. I love how easily it glides on which is not the case with a lot of eyeliners I have tried. It actually goes on darker then I thought it would which was fine with me because I normally buy my eyeliner in black anyway. I think it looks great and stays on like it should! 




Here I am wearing KISS Lashes I do not normally wear fake lashes unless it is a special occasion but these eyelashes go on really easily and they look so good! They gave me a lot of volume and I love the look! 





Next is Biscoff Cookies and I had them with hot chocolate the cookies taste so good my whole family loved them and were really wanting more! 






In my Jingle voxbox I also got a coupon for Ore Ida Tater Tots and I made Totchos with them I cooked the tater tots and some meat and added cheese on top the plan was to also add green onions on top but I did not have any. The recipe was really good and everyone liked it! 
Ore Ida tater tots can be used in so many ways and that is why we always have some available .

You can find more totchos recipes here- http://www.kraftrecipes.com/recipes/appetizers/ORE-IDA-Totchos.aspx?utm_source=influenster

 #OreIdaTotchos #contest





Last but definitely not least I got Pure Ice Nail Polish in Deja Vu. I love nail polish and painting my nails but I bite my finger nails so I only ever paint my toe nails and that is why you are looking at this ugly picture of my feet lol but anyway I really like the color it is a blue/purple sparkly color and it is very pretty! 


I loved everything in the Jingle Voxbox and am thankful that I was chosen to receive this box free for testing purposes!!

Eatsmart Bathroom Scale

Eatsmart Bathroom Scale 


The bathroom scale that I was using before ended up breaking so I was searching for  a new one I found the Eatsmart bathroom scale here is a little about it.

  • Measure approximate BMI, % body fat, % body muscle, % body water, bone mass and estimated caloric intake.
  • When weight locks in, scale will beep allowing user to step off and have an easy view of the readout
  • Generous 15" x 13" white, glass platform with silver accents. Large 3.7" x 2.2" readout with blue backlight for easy reading
  • 400 LB limit, in .2 lb increments,Lb/kg switchable - 250kg.
  • 3 x AAA batteries included, 2 year warranty

What I think about it-

I like the design of the scale it looks really nice but it is a little heavy. 
I also like that the screen is blue and the numbers are big so you can easily read it. 


Here is where you can find it-

CoverGirl VoxBox

CoverGirl VoxBox 



I received a CoverGirl VoxBox from +Influenster in the package I got-
  • CoverGirl Plumpify blastPRO mascara
  • CoverGirl OhSugar! in Sprinkle
I always love trying new makeup and it was around the holidays when I got my package so I tried it out soon after.

First I will tell you about the CoverGirl Plumpify mascara. 
Honestly, I love it it really goes on very light and it makes my eye lashes look long and full which is really what I am going for. You don't have to apply very much and it does not go on clumpy I think that has a lot to do with the brush it is bigger then the ones I normally use but I have came to like it so much more because it does a way better job then most mascara. 

Here are my results--



Next is CoverGirl OhSugar lipstick in Sprinkle. I have never been big on wearing lipstick but lately I have been wearing it more often and I like having different color options. I really like the color of this lipstick and it goes on really easy and makes my lips feel soft. 

Here are my results--


I think CoverGirl plumpify mascara and Covergirl OhSugar lipstick work really well together and I am loving the results!


I received these products for free for review opinions are 100% my own!

Johnson's baby take along pack

Johnson's baby take along pack




I received the Johnson's baby take along pack free from +Crowdtap in exchange for a review.
I found the Johnson's take along pack to be very helpful for taking along with me on the go because the sizes are small and perfect for trips and having in your car to be prepared plus with the smaller size bottles it gives you more room to pack other things you need.

All of the products included in the take along pack are:
  1. Johnson's baby powder
  2. Johnson's head-to-toe wash
  3. Johnson's baby shampoo
  4. Johnson's baby lotion
  5. Desitin diaper rash creme 
These are all the products I use anyway so having them all together in a small size pack is awesome! Everything I need in one little box sounds perfect to me!
