Welcome to the Kitchen Aid & Van’s Giveaway

Sponsored by Van’s Natural Food

Hosted by Conservamom

What a great prize to win! If you’ve never had a stand mixer, you’ll be loving this one should you be the lucky winner.  Be sure to take a peek at the recipes below – they sound simply delicious.  They’re all gluten-free, which seems to be the way to go these days.

Now a word from Van’s:

Hi from Van’s! As you probably know, May is Celiac Awareness Month, and we at Van’s would like to mark the occasion by sharing five of our favorite gluten-free swaps – and by offering the chance to win a Gluten-Free Gift Pack, including a Kitchen-Aid Mixer (entry form & contest rules located at the bottom of this post).

At Van’s, we are committed to providing wholesome, delicious options for a wide variety of dietary needs. That’s why we have worked for years to provide nutritious, whole-grain options for our gluten-free fans – starting with our waffles and expanding in recent years to our crackers, snack bars, cereals, chips, granola and even pasta.

As our gluten-free line expands, one of our favorite things is seeing all the creative ways our fans use Van’s gluten-free foods as ingredient substitutes to make delicious gluten-free dishes good enough for the whole family to enjoy.

Here are our top-five gluten-free substitutions from some of our talented blog partners:

Gluten-Free Waffle Pudding

Touch Of Dazzle Locket Pendants 

Great Mother’s Day Gift for Mothers, Grandmothers & Those Special Women in Your Life

touch of dazzle pendant lockets

Aren’t those lockets just adorable?  Full of color – they can be worn with most any outfit.  The sayings are adorable.  The charms float.  You can buy other charms to change them out if you’d like a change.  And, since the lockets aren’t huge – they will be attractive on the neckline.

That said, Mother’s Day comes once a year and is approaching upon us fast.  For those who give gifts to their Mom, Grandma, or that special woman in their life – it’s often the same old thing – flowers or plants of some sort.  I know my ex is famous for giving rose bushes year, after, year.

This year, why not give your “special” mom something different?  Something that they can wear close to their heart and treasure the rest of their lives.

A Touch of Dazzle’s Locket Pendants would make the perfect gift.  They have beautiful lockets for the Mom, Grandma, or that special lady in your life you treasure like a mother.

Each locket is made of high quality stainless steel and is all-inclusive: locket, plate, charms, crystal, chains and gift box.

The phrases on the plates read:

  • “The best thing about having you as my mom, is my kids having you as a grandma”
  • “If I didn’t have you as a mom, I’d choose you as a friend”
  • “Mom knows best, but Grandma knows better”

Touch of  Dazzle’s Lockets float on a stainless steel rolo chain & ball necklace.

Girls Limeapple Active Wear Set Giveaway – 10 Winners!

Girls’ clothing just gets better and better!

It’s amazing as to how clothing evolves; especially children’s clothing.  One of the neatest things manufacturers did when my daughter was small was to make it so that one can adjust the waistband.  Now clothing like the Limeapple line has pockets for devices.

Finding comfortable, age appropriate active wear for little girls is hard – well at least it used to be till Limeapple. Limeapple is a lifestyle clothing brand that was designed to keep girls comfortable and in style after school, at the beach, during dance class, on weekends and more.

The Limeapple line includes a large variety of feminine, fun and stylish girls’ clothing in sizes 12 months to 14 available in bright colors and prints so your little girl can show off her bold personality.

All Limeapple active wear uses high-quality fabrics that are:

  • breathable
  • fast drying
  • moisture wicking
  • pilling resistant
  • and designed to last.

They also feature flat seams, 4-way stretch, built in lining, and iPod pockets.

Buy It: Their clothing can be purchased online at limeapple.com, but for a limited only they have partnered up with Costco to design four active wear top and Capri legging sets (in sizes 6-14) that you can purchase from Costco for only $18.99, regular price for these sets is $43.00 so this is a total steal!

These active wear sets embody the same performance fabrics, details and quality as the normal line, but at a value exclusive to Costco.

Limeapple Sport will be available at all Costco locations in the Western United States and online at www.costco.com with free shipping & handling until May 10th, so make sure you grab a set (or two) at this amazing price before they are gone!

Win It: Ten super lucky readers will each win a Limeapple active wear set. Winner must be 18+ and a US resident, Giveaway is open until May 5th at 11:59PM EST.

Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum review

So many factors come into play in the aging process.  The worst of them, for me, is the fact that the skin begins to lose elasticity.  The neck area ages first, followed by facial skin.  That leaves me trying beauty products like Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum

Actual Product Received for Reviewing

 

Knowing what we know today about products that aren’t chemical free and what they can do to us; I feel blessed that I am living during a time where a product like Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum is available.  There’s no alcohol or parabens in the product – none!  And, it’s made in an FDA-approved facility in the USA.

What is Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum, you ask?

Adeline NATURAL NUTRITION for your skin – Hyaluronic Acid Serum contains Retinol, a blend of Vitamin A for elasticity, collagen formation, and sun damage repair; Vitamin C for improved moisture, elasticity, and tone; Vitamin D to moisturize skin and promote healing; Vitamin E for anti-oxidant protection and non-greasy moisture!  Hyaluronic Acid Serum is natural.  It’s a Hyaluronic Acid Serum containing Retinol, a blend of Vitamin A for elasticity, collagen formation, and sun damage repair; Vitamin C for improved moisture, elasticity, and tone; Vitamin D to moisturize skin and promote healing; Vitamin E for anti-oxidant protection and non-greasy moisture!

Adeline Hyaluronic Serum’s Ingredients

Deionized Water, Sodium Hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid), Aloe Barbadensis Juice, Phenoxyethanol (preservative), Witch Hazel Extract, Acrylates/C 10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, MSM, Potassium Sorbate, Tocopheryl Acetate (antioxidant), Sodium Hydroxide,Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, Lavender Oil, L-Arginine, Retinyl Palmitate, Cholecalciferol

My Findings

I’ve been using the product for about a month now.  Some days I don’t get the recommended two applications in, but most days I do and I am seeing visible results.

It comes in an attractive, pump-powered bottle.  This leaves for airless dispensing, which in turn means that you’re not getting bacteria back into the product with each pump.

The serum is of a light consistency with an extremely light refreshing scent. Many products will dry out my skin.  The Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum has proven not to do so – nor do I have or had any skin breakouts.

One pump onto your finger goes a long way.  Two pumps does my entire face and neck area.  It’s fast drying.  I love how my skin feels after I apply the serum.  It’s soft and silky.

I feel that the product is doing it’s job especially around my eyes and on my forehead.  I feel the fine lines in those areas are a lot less noticeable.

I know it’s hydrating my skin just by the way my foundation now appears on my face after I apply it.  When I’m dehydrated (which is often and my bad) and I apply foundation, I seem to see every little nook and cranny that is on my face.  After using the serum those little nooks and crannies are not anywhere near as noticeable.

Would I recommend that others try the Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum?

Absolutely and for a couple of reasons:

Adeline Gives Back

With there being so many “like” products on the market it’s hard to make an informed decision on which product to purchase.  Given that, and how I like the way my skin looks and feels, purchasing from a company that gives back is top on my list.

Adeline gives back – “A part of every unit sold goes towards digging a well in a community with limited water resources.”

Company Guarantee

Another important factor that I take into consideration when purchasing a product is the company’s guarantee.   I don’t like to waste my money on products that don’t live up to par and Adeline sees that it’s important for consumers to like their product.  One has nothing to lose in trying the Adeline Hyaluronic Acid Serum.

Here’s their Guarantee:

You’re protected by our 100% “Empty Bottle Guarantee!”

We stand behind our products 100%. If you’re not thrilled with your results, just return the bottle for a full refund… even if it’s empty!

de-stressing
Sometimes we just need alternative ways when trying to break a habit or are dealing with some sort of addiction.  Learning ways to de-stress can be hard for some individuals.  Even if you’re in a wonderful program, like Ohio Drug and Alcohol Rehab, you may still need some additional coping strategies for especially difficult days. The following tips will help you to quell your anxiety when the going’s been rough.

1. Music can really take you away to another place. Listen to whatever it is that always makes you feel better. Block out the rest of the world for a while. To truly tune the world out, invest in a great pair of headphones. 

2. Figure out what exactly is causing stress. Separate your stressors into what you can and cannot control. Make a physical list, then tear it up afterwards. Also, put some effort into changing the parts of your stress that you can control.

3. Get into a great book. Reading gives your mind a vacation. If you delve into fiction, you’ll be transported to another world.

4. Visualize your stress by giving it a mental image. Then picture yourself letting it go or watching the visual stress shrink.

5. Go for a drive! Don’t get behind the wheel if you’re upset, but if you just need to escape, a relaxing drive can help. Put on your favorite music, open the windows, and clear your mind. 

6. Write a letter to the person who is upsetting you. Don’t send it, though. The act of getting it down on paper will be enough to help you clear your mind.

7. Play with an animal. This can be therapeutic, not to mention adorable.

8. Burn candles or incense. Scent can really help calm your nerves. Lavender and vanilla are great scents to help you relax.

9. Do something you can control, which will help you focus when you’re stressed over things you can’t control. Cooking or cleaning are two great examples of activities that you’re in control of.

10. Sip caffeine-free tea. The heat will help you relax. Just don’t reach for another cup of coffee, which will only give you the jitters.

11. Set aside a standing date with yourself every night. Each evening, aim to do something that’s just for you. Even on your worst days, you’ll know that “Me Time” is coming soon. Whether it’s sitting with a cup of tea, reading funny articles online, or talking to your mom on the phone, make it just about you for a while each night.

Even extremely stressful days can be calmed with self-soothing habits. When you’re in recovery, it’s important to find ways to treat your anxiety without relying on drugs or alcohol.

Do you de-stress using other strategies that work best for you?  Please share – someone else may find them helpful.
