I tried the Butter Me Up Cream Cheese Chewies and the Strawberry Cream Cheese Chewies.

Butter Me Up Cream Cheese Chewies

This buttery dessert bar will be the envy of every guest they’re served to. Made with lots of “old fashioned” goodness with sweet modern technology!! Easy to make, freezes well, sinfully rich with only minimal effort!! Makes a great after school snack or coffee and dessert treat!!

Strawberry Cream Cheese Chewies

What a heavenly dessert bar! It’s like a piece of velvet strawberry cheesecake. It is such an easy recipe to make with your kids or grand kids! Beautiful presentation, freezes absolutely wonderfully ( if there is any left to freeze). It is gift ready. Perfect for that ” covered dish ” outing, picnics, BBQ’s, school bake sells or just for yourself. Perfect afternoon compliment to a fresh cup of coffee.

I loved both of them and everyone who I shared them with also loved them. Now think about it – Butter, Cream Cheese, (powdered sugar) – seriously what is not to like! And the Strawberry is just as delicious.

They are delivered in these really cute bags:

In addition to the mix in the bag you need: Eggs, Cream Cheese, Powdered Sugar and Margarine (although I used butter).

Starlooks Starbox

Posted on May 19, 2013 by Stephanie

I received the Starlooks Starbox back in April, and wanted to use it for a while before writing the review. This makeup is great. I have very sensitive skin, along with my daughter, but it did not break us out. The mascara was what I’ve used the most. It leaves my eyes looking sexy and vibrant. My mother uses the lipstick, and she absolutely loves it. It’s the perfect color for her tone. My daughter, Sarah, 16, uses the powder and adores it, as well.

Starlooks Starbox is a great program. You will be able to try their whole line of products when you join, and you also get a special offer for referring friends (which includes free shipping).

Starlooks Starbox is only $25.00 for the April box and April’s box can still be purchased. So if you like what you see, go get your order in.

If you subscribe to Starbox, which you can do here, it’s only $15.00 per month. You can also send the box as a gift to someone else. And will receive it around the 3rd week of the month.

This is a great gift for any woman in your life.

Wearever Giveaway

Incontinence Bed Pads

Host: The Stuff of Success

Have you ever had to struggle with a family member having occasional accidents in bed? There are so many products on the market to assist with this type of an issue and I am thankful to have discovered WeareverUS.com. When my son was a baby accidents weren’t too big of a deal. But as a pre-teen they are much more of a deal. He certainly doesn’t do it on purpose – it is part of his disability. So instead of making a huge deal about it, we simply try to do things behind the scenes so he does not have to feel ashamed or self conscious. Incontinence pads are the perfect solution.

I have purchased quite a few in the past – mostly from a local low end department store and they definitely did not stand up to the abuse. They were fine until I had to wash them – then I might get one additional accident out of them. I was spending a fortune. Wearever has several different, much better quality pads to choose from. I was provided with two different styles in exchange for my honest opinion. I chose the economy pad and the quilted plaid pad.

The Economy pad has a quilted topcloth with great absorbency and comfort. Waterproof liner keeps furniture fabrics dry. Great for using in bed at night. Wash and dry hundreds of times. Lower price for those on a tighter budget but not lower quality! Order 2 or 3 for use during laundering.

This beautiful Quilted Plaid pad has a plaid quilted top cloth which looks like an extra throw in your living room. The large 34×36 dimensions and waterproof backing will protect your furniture from wetness. The material is an 80% cotton outer layer with a 20% Unique-Dri™ inner core and it can be machine washed/dried over 200 times!

All bed pads are made with absorbent materials and a waterproof liner to keep furniture and fabrics dry while protecting against wetness. Their selections of incontinence bed pads are perfect for every night mattress use or on household furniture. The Unique-Dri™ inner core and IBEX Cotton Polyester blend incontinence pads are washable and reusable for long lasting lifetime use.

This is a photo of the two I received – a pink economy pad and the plaid pad in deep, dark colors. The pink one is on my sons bed under his sheets. First of all he likes pink – second of all, you can’t see it under his sheets anyway. The plaid pad we will bring to the camper this weekend and use on the futon where he sleeps. It is attractive enough that no one will know what it is – no worries. The stitching is excellent and the quality is superb.

WeareverUS also specializes in incontinence panties and briefs, diabetic socks, and swim diapers.

Facebook / Blog / Pinterest

And now – just for you!!! WeareverUS will give a lucky reader their own quilted plaid pad. Enter the Giveaway Tool – Exp 05/24 11/59pm.

Moringa Source

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Stephanie

Have you heard of Moringa Source? Their products are great, and I am honored to be able to do this review for you all. They have been featured on Dr. Oz & The View.

These items (to the right) were exactly what I received. You can purchase them as a group for the great price of $39.99 right now and that includes free shipping.

The Moringa Oil, which I gave to my mother, has left her feeling young again. She loves the feeling it gives her, and how it has reduced her fine lines. It has also brightened her complexion.

The tea bags, I love. I have been drinking it for several days, not only does it taste exceptionally good, but it’s making me feel better. There is no caffeine in these bags either.

Finally, the Moringa Dietary Supplement. I gave this to my sister. She said she has noticed a difference in how she’s feeling (more alert, not tired all the time).

Moringa Source has a lot of products to choose from including Silk Body Butter, Shampoo, Conditioner, Fresh Body Wash. You can find them all here.

If you don’t try Moringa Source, you are missing out. I can’t wait to purchase my next supply.

Diana’s Bananas

Posted on May 11, 2013 by Stephanie

Have you heard of Diana’s Bananas? Oh man, they are delicious. I received 3 boxes of Dark Chocolate and 3 boxes of Milk Chocolate, and I can’t be thankful enough. They are the most delicious chocolate covered banana I have ever tasted. You can read more about their Nutritional facts here.

I shared with my family and the verdict is all the same. Everyone loves Diana’s Bananas. My mom said “the chocolate didn’t melt all over me”, my daughter said “a tasty snack”, my son just said “mmmm”. My dad absolutely loves them, he ate a whole box by himself.

What’s the best thing about Diana’s Bananas? They can ship them to you, and they are fairly priced. You can get 5 bananas for $4.99, or 12 bananas for $29.99. You can even purchase a single banana for only $2.75. They may even be found at a store near you.

What could be a better snack for kids and adults, alike? These are real bananas dipped in amazing chocolate.

I usually don’t like frozen items, not a big ice cream fan, but I will definitely be buying more of these fantastic treats. My 2 year old loves them, and he’s not a fan of cold stuff either.

Diana’s Bananas make for a great party treat.
