AVON PRODUCT REVIEW: Minnie Mouse Weekender

I don't think anything beats AVON's line of handbags.  There's something seriously cool for everyone. They have small bags to weekenders and a few in between.

I love this one of Minnie Mouse!  It's one of my favourites.  It's adorable and it's a weekender!  22" L x 16" H x 7" D; with an 8" handle. 

There's nothing more one can say about this baby.  Just looking at it says it all.  So ask yourself this, "What would Minnie do?" I'd like to think she'd go for this bag.  Why?  Because it's fun, different and cool!

It also tells everyone around you that you're not boring and like looking like everyone else.

So, toss your boring old bag and pick this one up at AVON.  EnterFS30REP and get free shipping!

Happy July 4th!

Taking a break from product reviews to ask - have you got your fireworks yet? People in the neighbourhood seem to have been practising all week. The dogs and cats are in a panic. Hate to see them tonight and tomorrow. : )

Anyway, for those who have forgotten - July 4 is our Independence Day from Great Britain. Why when we all love tea, fish & chips, and British humour? Simple. King George III had become a royal pain in the butt.

Some of his offenses were:

1. Imposing taxes on us without our consent.
2. Depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury.
3. Transporting us over seas to be tried for pretended offenses.
4. Taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Government.

And the list goes on.

But, enough of the history lesson! July 4 is a day of celebration that for 233 years we've been a free, independent country. To celebrate I'm giving you 3 free gifts. Actually, it's really one in three parts, but 3 sounds better.

The gifts are on showing your gratitude and appreciation to those around you. There's a 10 page book, a worksheet and an action plan sheet! So click below to download your gifts.

Wait! Before I forget, the gifts will automatically download when clicked and they're in pdf form. Don't forget to save them. : ) Ok! You can download them now.

AVON Product Review: SSS Summer Soft Revitalizing Body Spray Lotion

Why is it I'm more inclined to spray lotion on, rather than squeeze it into my hand and then apply it?

I don't know. Maybe I'm just weird, but I really like spray on lotions. I especially like it if it's Skin So Soft.

The SSS spray I'm using at the moment is Summer Soft. The scent of shea butter, cucumber and aloe is a real perk-me-up, and yet isn't so strong to where a person sensitive to strong scents will sneeze or get a headache.

As one customer said, "This lotion smells divine." And it does. It's nice. It's fresh. It's clean. It's summer.

Put it on when your hot and the sheer coolness of the lotion let's you breathe a sigh of relief.

The bottle is small enough to pack in your purse or put in your desk drawer at work!

Right now, (July 1, 2009) you can get it for $3.99! That's 50% off!

Collecting Fragrances! Can you really have too many?

So, what do you think?  Is there really such a thing as too many body mists sitting on the stand in your bedroom or in the bath?

I vote you can never have too many.  I have a number of them sitting on the shelf above my pc and in my bedroom.  I love waking up in the morning and deciding how I want to feel for the day. 

I can either choose to smell like I'm at the beach (minus the sweat) and use Tahitian (my fave) or Brazil Beat or go for something extra fruity, like MARK'S new mist line and make your own mark-tinis!  Check out some ideas here and other fragrances in the MARK and AVON line!

Oh!  And by the way, don't forget to take the poll below!

Make it a great day!

Let's talk feet!

This morning after my Turbulence Training workout, I was sweating like a pig and my feet were sore from doing box steps. Try this mini-workout: The box step workout and you'll see what I mean:

1. Begin with your right foot on a step.
2. Quickly switch places by hopping left foot up to the step, while returning your right foot to the floor.
3. Keep alternating until you've done 25 -100 reps.

Do 4 sets with a 1 -2 minute break in between.

I'd video tape the mini, but I look absolutely ridiculous. (grin)

Anyway! Back to my story! I was really disgusted with myself for not wearing my CoolMax Fitness Socks. I needed the arch support and cushion they give. But it was early and my brain wasn't functioning.

Anyway! Guarantee you tomorrow morning I'll have them on while cycling. Yip, they help even then. How? They keep my feet cool, and then as mentioned - they give my feet the support they need.

So, if you're feet get too hot while working out or simply going about your day, or you need the extra support, give them a try. Right now, AVON has them on sale for 33% off!

AVON Product Review: Rival Crock Pot Recipes!

You're looking at one of my favourite AVON products! I ordered this awhile back because I'm:

1. A lazy cook.

2. Bored eating the same stuff.

3. A hater of doing dishes!

4. I shamefully admit my main reason - I keep forgetting I'm cooking and burn stuff or it boils over and I have a nasty mess to clean up. What I do to rice - I could be arrested.

Anyway, I'd been wanting to get a crock pot for a long time, but I didn't know any recipes I could use that would actually taste good when they were done. (I'm a lousy cook. Food poisoned myself twice this year and it's only May!)

Then, my AVON "What's New" product guide came and there was the Rival crock pot recipe box! Sounded good to me. And if I didn't like it - I could return it! Nothing lost!

I ordered it, ran out and bought a little 1.5 quart Rival crock pot and waited. Several days later, the Rival crock pot recipe box came. I carefully went over every recipe. They all looked so simple and delicious. Best of all, they were going to be cheap to make!

The first thing I made was the Winter Bean Soup. It was to die for! And I didn't get sick!

Anyway, being single, I only have to cook twice a week, three times at the most now. Even as I type, my crock pot has matzah ball soup heating up in it. :)

So, what kind of mouthwatering crock pot recipes will you find? In the beverages, snacks & appetizers you'll find stuff like:

1. Chai Tea!

2. Pizza Fondue!

3. Reuben Dip!

How about main meals?

1. Italian-Style Pot Roast!

2. Kick n' Chili!

3. Tex-Mex Beef Wraps!

Side dishes?

1. Polenta-Style Corn Casserole!

2. Vegetable Curry!

3. Sweet Spiced Sweet Potatoes!

Soups & stews?

1. Winter's Best Bean Soup! (It's to die for!)

2. Chipotle Chicken Stew!

3. Slow Cooker Cheese Soup!

Oooooo....sweet treats!!!!

1. Cherry Flan!

2. Orange Date Nut Bread!

3. Steamed Southern Sweet Potato Custard!

That's just a sample of some of the great, delicious recipes you'll get to enjoy!

Now here's 6 good reasons why you've gotta buy it!

1. You'll have a nice hot meal waiting for you when you come home!

2. It will save you money, because you can put a whole chicken in the crock-pot to cook then cut it up for several meals, you can stretch your budget with the use of your leftovers!

3. It saves on your electric bill because crock pots use less energy than your big stove!

4. Most of the recipes save lots of time because they're fast to put together.

5. Crock pots clean up super fast!

6. You won't burn or overflow your meals!

So what are you waiting for? Click here to order your very own tin of Rival crock pot recipes!
