My Beautiful win from Divining Oil Designs!

I received nothing from this post, this was an actual contest that I won online.

How many of you use Essential Oils everyday like I do? Well you should go look at Divining Oil Designs. Ginny who owns the company creates beautiful pieces of jewelry art with stones. Each piece (including mine) is hand created for you. No two pieces are alike. She combines Semi Precious Stones with Essential Oils to help aid with specific wellness concerns. This is totally geared towards you and your needs.

My custom made bracelet includesd amethyst, jade, crystal and rose quartz. These are all stones I picked and felt drawn to. I also received a wonderful Wild Orange Essential Oil to go with it, that I can put on the lava rock. If you order one you will received a vial of an essential oil of your choosing.

On her Divining Oil Designs website you can find a page of some stones she offers and what they can be used for. I loved reading it, and then asking her if what I liked would work for me. She is a wealth of knowledge about stones and oils. I ended up with Amethyst which is a natural stress reliever, and encourages inner strength. This is something I struggle with due to my medical issues. Crystal Quartz for protection against negativity. Rose Quartz opens the heart to all types of love – love of self, family, friends, and romantic. Rose Quartz has high energy but is calming and soothing at the same time. Love of self is something I have always struggled with and so that is the reason for this choice.

She also includes a page of essential oils and how they work. I was sent Wild Orange (part of my prize) which is wonderful for me because I have a bad immune system. My favorite essential oil though is Clary Sage which lifts your mood. Let me tell you after falling low into depression and having severe anxiety basically every day this works wonders. As soon as my bracelet arrived I put some on the lava rock. It is almost an instant mood changer!

If you interested in getting a piece for yourself you can see some pre-made pieces on the Divining Oil Design website. She is also branching out into Barefoot sandals and other fun things. Did I mention that her prices are excellent? Go look for yourself. Please tell her Rebecca at Primitive Gypsy sent you!

~Review~ Greenwald's Citrus All Purpose Cleaner

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

Ok there is not enough good things I can say about Greenwald's Citrus All Purpose Cleaner. I honestly thought oh another orange colored cleaner when it arrived, but I was proven wrong. It's super simple to make and use. It comes with a large spray bottle and a plastic package with 6 refill packs. They are water soluble.

This is so simple to mix. Fill up your bottle with warm water and add one water soluble refill pack. Wait for about a minute and then shake gently. Tada you have a totally miracle cleaner. We just moved into an old farmhouse and the walls were nasty and grimy. They had tons of animals and smoked. The bathroom walls were so gross and we cleaned with bleach and also Mr Clean Magic Erasers. Well they were clean, or so we thought. After this arrived in the mail my husband went on a cleaning streak. I wish I could show you a photo but no matter the lighting they won't show. All he did was spray and wipe with Greenwald's Citrus All Purpose Cleaner and our bathroom walls went from beige to a bright shiny white color. You can imagine what that started, he took it all over the house, grimy tile in the kitchen, spotless, nasty old fridge looks almost new. This stuff works and he has already informed me we will be buying more. Oh in case you wondered no there is no nasty chemical smell. It has a light citrus scent to it.

I could seriously go on and on about this product, it's my new favorite and I will be buying refills. All I can say is wow. It's also very inexpensive. You get 6 bottle for about the cost of 2-3 bottles at the store. If your interested in trying Greenwald's Citrus All Purpose Cleaner you can buy it on Amazon.

~Review & Giveaway~ The Organic Face

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

What fun, new makeup from The Organic Face. Who doesn't look new makeup? Raise your hands...no one? I quite agree. New makeup is always a good time. The Organic Face is dedicated to creating pure, natural, chemical-free organic cosmetics and skincare products made from the finest active botanical ingredients and minerals. You can tell the wonderful quality the minute you open it.

I chose to try the Femme Fatale Eyeshadow Quad in Perfect Storm. It's a mix of silver, blue and green. I normally go for browns and neutrals so I thought it would be fun to try something new. I am allergic to alot of make up products so I was quite pleased that this one doesn't bother me at all. No itchy red eyes, just a lot of pretty color. I am certainly no makeup expert but it was simple to get a pretty look. The Organic Face Femme Fatale Eyeshadow can be applied wet or dry.

~Review~ How to Make Lunches Easy with Scrumpt Box ~2015 Parents Super Guide~

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

So as many of you know I am a mom to 8 kids, and so as you can imagine my world is a mess. I run a website, a home business and have two kids not in school. Lunchtime is something I wish I could make go faster and much easier or just go away. When I heard about Scrumpt Box I was very intrigued. A box delivered to me with Lunch for the week for my kids? Um, YES...where do I sign up?

So how does Scrumpt Box work? It's very simple you fill out a food profile so they can learn your preferences and any allergies your family may have. Then on Saturday your box should arrive so you have a day to go get what can not be included. (Most of that are staples you will already have) Your box includes a list of those items and it's not much because most things are provided. They even provide napkins, and containers. My two year old Nikolas loved having a fun colored napkin every day. They tell you what's for each day, ingredients and what you should do to prepare. Your told what needs to be put in the fridge too! You can choose three or five lunches a week.

So I tested out Scrumpt Box on my two year old Nikolas. He was thrilled with all the fun food idea's, flavors, and accessories. Everything comes pre-packaged and pretty much ready to go. When you have a two year old waiting for lunch being quick means living tantrum free. During the week I tried the Scrumpt Box lunch was Nikolas' favorite time of the day. He would pull up a chair to help get it ready and take his napkin and things to the table for "eat time". He really enjoyed everything we were sent. There was such a good variety which mean't not the same peanut butter and jelly sandwich every day. I heard a lot of Yummy Mommy and Ummmmm's at eat time with Scrumpt Box.

All Scrumpt Boxes are peanut-free, with gluten and lactose-free options available. Every Scrumpt Box contains only those products that have been approved by a panel of pediatricians, nutritionists, and health-conscious moms.

Are you ready to make lunch time easy? Learn more at the Scrumpt Box website.

Sizzling Fajita Recipe with the Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

Here in our house my husband does the cooking. He is a chef and has been working in a kitchen since he was 13. It's his life's passion. He really enjoyed trying out this Green Earth Frying Pan. It's a beautiful pan with a pretty green shade and a raised textured interior. The ceramic is scratch resistant and even with a lot of heavy use there has been no scratching. It is made out of aluminum.

This particular pan makes it easy to cook. Our fajita's were a breeze because of the non stick coating. It has a durable and light weight construction. He really loved the size and capacity of food it can hold. When your cooking for 8 you need a pan that holds all your food. No one wants to use and wash 2-3 pans. With the Green Earth Frying Pan we could cook for the whole family with one pan. It cooked evenly throughout. It's also very easy to clean. I recommend hand washing vs. the dishwasher to keep from getting any surface scratches.

The Ozeri Green Earth Frying Pan utilizes GREBLON which is an ultra-safe ceramic coating from Germany. It is 100% PTFE and PFOA free. What exactly does this mean? Even under high temperatures, no harmful toxic fumes are ever released into the environment.

Sizzling Fajita Recipe for 8

One pound of steak, chicken, pork julienne or shrimp.. or all.
Two Bell Peppers
Whole Onion, julienne
1/2 Cup Pineapple Juice
1/4 Cup Minced Fresh Cilantro
Pinch Salt and Pepper mixed together
Olive Oil
16-24 Small Taco Sized Flour Tortillas
Favorite Toppings-Cheese, Salsa, Sour Cream, Pico de Gallo, Chili Verde, etc

It is preferred to marinate meat, peppers and onions overnight in the Pineapple juice and a few good shakes of Olive Oil. Otherwise marinate for one hour before cooking. On your smoking hot Green Earth Frying Pan grab a handful of the marinated ingredients and sear until meat is done. Warm tortillas on pan or on stove. Serve HOT!

You can get your own Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri on Amazon.

~Review~ SuppressMint 3-Hour Craving Control Breath Mint

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own~

So many people really want or need to lose a little weight and we all need a healthy way to do it. SuppressMint is a breath mint that is used to control your food cravings. All you do is pop one in your mouth and let it dissolve. This is a time released three hour dissolving mint. At first I thought I would hate this but I didn't. You eventually just forget it's there. It has a nice refreshing minty flavor. No odd flavor or aftertaste which is very nice. I did notice a lack of need to snack so that is very helpful. I will be updating this review after I've used it a bit longer.

SuppressMint was created by two doctors after 10 years of research. Apparently the fact that it slowed your appetite was an accident.

Here are some answers to commonly asked questions about SuppressMint.
The active ingredient in SuppressMint is 24 mcg of chromium picolinate (Chromax®) a nutritional supplement/essential trace element that is crucial to good health. The mint-based delivery system contains all natural peppermint and menthol flavors, hypromellose (cellulose), Xylitol (natural sweetener that promotes positive oral health), algin (gel extracted from seaweed—flavorless & odorless), sodium chloride & magnesium stearate (lubricant for tableting) and .005 micrograms of sucralose (one-part per million). Adults should not exceed over 200 mcg of chromium picolinate per day (8 SuppressMint dots).

SuppressMint is gluten free and contains no calories. You should always consult with your physician and/or health care provider before taking any nutritional supplements. The chromium used in SuppressMint is flavorless and odorless. SuppressMint tastes just like a typical breath mint with its sweet, minty flavor.

You can buy your own from SuppressMint.com They offer a 90-Day Money Back GUARANTEE. Shipping is FREE if you buy more than one bottle and three bottles gets you a free one.

~Review~ Skinology Lemon Essential Oil

I received this product for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

This is higly concentrated Lemon Essential Oil by Skinology It comes in nice packaging, glass bottle and a glass eye dropper for use. It has a really nice lemon aroma.

My favorite uses for lemon oil are as a room refresher. Just put a couple drops and fill with water in a small spritzing or spray bottle. It takes away the odor from pets, cigarettes, burnt food (not that I would ever burn food ha ha), mildew or mold smells. It works well as a fabric refresher also. When we moved this house smelled awful. The people before us were not clean people and I have used it all over the house and it gives it such a clean fresh scent. What's better is it's a healthy natural scent, not toxin or harsh chemicals laced with lemon scent. I must say that I truly liked this brand and would buy it again.

This is from the webite for some other ideas. Naturally fresh and refreshing lemon aroma works magic as a great cleanser, antioxidant and antiseptic. Simply add a few drops of lemon oil to a glass of water to boost your energy levels and clean your body from harmful toxins. Great during cold months to protect from fevers and colds. Also might be used as a powerful cleanser and freshener for all your household needs. Please use with care due to its high concentration.

You can buy Lemon Essential Oil by Skinology on Amazon.

~Review~ OZ Naturals Facial Toner

~I received this product for my review, all opinion are 100% my own~

I love sprays and tonics. They make you feel so refreshed. The Ocean Mineral Tonic from OZ Naturals is a great choice. Use it before makeup, serums and moisturizers. This works wonderfully if you use it as a refresher spray throughout the day.

Ocean Mineral Tonic from Oz Naturals is 100% natural, cruelty-free and vegan. It does not contain alcohol, parabens or sulfates. It is PH balanced which makes it safe for all skin types. Not to mention that this tonic is made in the USA!

This made my skin feel so good. I use it daily as a refresher spray. It's just like using water only with a light scent. I use this as part of my daily skin routine and it honestly is just like spraying yourself with a cool mist of water.

To learn more visit them at the Oz Naturals website. You can try the Ocean Mineral Tonic for yourself by going to Amazon.

The Naturals ~Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~Valentine's Day Sweetheart Central Gift Guide Review~

~I received this product for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

I just love The Naturals. They are based out of Pennsylvania and offer twig wreaths and much much more. They send you a basic form for you to add onto and decorate however you wish. You can choose from beautiful spring baskets, window frames and stars. They even have a peace shaped wreath and a heart for Valentine's Day. They never cut down trees or bushes only trim and allow the plants to continue to grow and thrive. What a wonderful way to bring nature inside without disturbing it.

I chose to get the Fairy chair, which in my opinion was beautiful on it's own. I chose to leave it natural. It has copper wire on the back for hanging and when winter is over I plan to move it out to my garden. I just love the wild look it has. I can just imagine this spring when it's outside and surrounded by color.

If fits so well in my home filled with Antiques that I think I could use one in every room. I would love to get a basket to fill with pine cones, acorns and dried pomegranate's. What would you choose? You can see all the different options The Naturals has to choose on Etsy. Check out how great the pricing is. I've seen similar items sell for triple the cost!
