Daily's Cocktails Review & Giveaway

I recently was giving the opportunity to Review Daily’s Cocktails. I went to my local Wal-Mart and they offered a few different varieties. I got 2 Strawberry Daiquiri’s, 1 Peach and 1 Lemonade pouch. They are only $1.88 each! That is a great price. So I had never heard of Daily’s until recently I was flipping through a magazine and there it was. These come in pouches which you put in the freezer and enjoy.
Here is my drink:

My Reaction to Daily’s Cocktails:What a yummy flavor. I love this Strawberry Daiquiri but i better have just one i have work in the morning.  
Image you sitting on the beach the breeze blowing through your hair and the sound of the waves crashing against the shore what a perfect day and to top it off you have a cup of Daily’s Cocktail in your hand. Oh the feeling of relaxing on the beach and the warmth from the sun. what an image I have in my head! To hang onto summer just a bit longer you need to have a cook out with all your friends and have some cocktails on hand to quench your thirst and theirs or you can just go to the beach and enjoy as well which every your heart desires How do you Savor Summer? What is your favorite memory about summer? Let me know by leaving a blog comment. You do not have to just enjoy Daily’s Cocktails in the summer but all year round look out for two new flavors coming this Fall Hard Cider and Spiced Sangria. Great for your Halloween party or any other get together you may have or maybe you just need to unwind after working hard all day. Make sure you check out their website at www.dailyscocktails.com . They have a recipe section on their website you should check out this one:
Daily’s All American Cocktail
Life, liberty and the pursuit of fun! That’s what we’re all about here at Daily’s. And we believe the most important patriotic accessory this Fourth of July is the Daily’s All American Cocktail! All you need are two Daily’s Original Frozen Pouches – Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri & PiƱa Colada – rim with sparkly blue sugar and top with blueberries.
 
How cool is that! An All American Cocktail; for July 4th or Election Day coming up in November. I was thinking for Halloween you could do a Hard Cider and call it a Witch’s Brew or maybe a Strawberry Daiquiri and call it Fresh Blood those are my ideas. They also offer a fewer calories option for those who are trying to maintain a certain weight. Make sure to drink responsibly and you must 21 or older to enjoy.

Thymes Brained Pumpkin and Chestnut Candle


I received in the mail as part of a product review Thymes Brained Pumpkin and Chestnut Candle from the Wildwood Collection. The reason I picked this candle is that fall is around the corner and it is my husband’s favorite season and I love all of the fall scents as well. When I got the candle I thought this is a little heavy and when I placed this on my stand I smelled and I just remembered pumpkin pie, leaves falling baking pumpkin bread any fall related activity, I love the scent so much. My husband also loves the scent. Besides candles Thymes has Bath & Body products, Home products and you can shop by collection as well. Here is a complete description of the candle Subtle yet sumptuous; this richly scented candle kindles the warmth of brandied pumpkin, comforting spices, honeyed amber and ancient woods. Burns cleanly and casts a welcoming aura even when unlit. It is beautifully boxed with hand-touched details for an ideal aromatic candle gift. This is great to relax in your bath room while you are taken a bath or just lit in your living room to just smell the scent.

Turkey Hill


I recently went to my local supermarket with coupons in hand from Turkey Hill (Thank-You) and I purchased their Banana Split ice cream which has chocolate ice with walnuts, banana ice cream with a fudge swirl and strawberry ice cream. I really loved it, I have never tried it before but it was very yummy. I am not a big fan of chocolate ice cream so I left that for my husband. They have so many flavors and variety of ice cream but here are a few Peanut Butter Ripple, Neapolitan and Black Raspberry. Besides ice cream I got the Lemonade with Lemon flavor, I have had the half tea and half lemonade before and enjoyed it and I really liked this as well it was just the right sweetness for me which is great. Check out their website today at http://www.turkeyhill.com/ and see what you would like to find. I did have a hard time finding their products in my area and very few of a variety to choose from maybe your state have more of a variety.

When Hope Blossoms By Kim Vogel Sawyer

I received in the mail as part of review from Bethany Publishing Where Hope Blossoms by Kim Vogel Sawyer It follows a widower named Amy and her 3 children. She moves to a small town of Weaverly, Kansas from Ohio and starts over. She has a neighbor named Tim Roper who left the Mennonite life and lost him wife and son. I hate to give away too much of the book so I will not say much more except it is a must read and just came out. I loved the book and it is a feel good book and I wish that people would treat each one like in this book with care and respect. Here is a little excerpt from her website http://www.kimvogelsawyer.com Amy Knackstedt moves with her children to Weaverly, Kansas, to escape the speculation surrounding her husband's untimely death. She hopes the new location will provide a fresh start for them all. But her neighbor, Tim Roper, is not pleased to have a Mennonite family living next to his apple orchard. When the children try to befriend him, he resists. Tim left the Mennonite faith years ago and doesn't want any reminders of his former life. Yet Amy and Tim find their paths colliding far more than either could have foreseen. Will this tentative relationship blossom into something more?

Enjoy Hair Care Review & Giveaway


Have you heard of a new sulfate free shampoo? Well it is called Enjoy. I like how it comes in a white, pink and black bottle. The scent is very pleasant and it works really well with my hair. I noticed it is wavy and does not weight down my hair. What I dislike about the product is it being so thick I have a hard time getting it out of the bottles but other than that this is a great product. You can visit their website at http://www.enjoyhaircare.com/all-products and see all the products they have to offer. They also have you put in your hair information to find out which products are great for your hair type.
What’s the big deal with having pH balanced and stable products?
ENJOY knows that pH balanced and stable products are key for optimum hair color retention. Human skin and hair resides in the pH 4.5-5.5 range, but most products on the market are pH 7 or greater. In addition to leaving the hair feeling dry and brittle, the higher pH in these products raises the cuticle and causes hair color to fade shampoo after shampoo. This isn’t the case with ENJOY. To provide long lasting color and complement hair’s natural pH balance, they work hard to insure that their products are pH 4.5-6.0. They also conduct extensive bake tests on the line to guarantee pH stability.
PPPPP
ENJOY Professional Hair Care proudly offers a full range of sulfate-free and pH balanced products. With a full color line of skin and hair care, as well as hair color products, ENJOY is sure to have something for everyone.
ENJOY is a registered trademark of Ultimate Salon Professionals, Inc (USP, Inc) of Oceanside, California. ENJOY professional color, hair and skin care products are available exclusively in finer salons and spas through professional distribution.
