Why? Oh because you can! There was nothing better than coming home from a long day at work and finding a box on my front porch. It got better and better as I opened the box and examined the contents. Two bottles of California white wine. Each bottle safely tucked in a special shipping box made just for them.

With each bottle was a nice story about the winery that produced the wine and a little information about the wine itself. Now being a Silicon Valley brat myself, I was more than excited to see a Calaveras County Wine. For those of you that have never heard of or been to Calaveras County. It is the home of the Frog Jump. Oh the memories this one bottle of wine managed to pull out of the cobwebs in my head. But don't fret, I managed to pop the top on the bottle of Semillon and enjoy the memories and the wine. 

If you are ever looking for a great gift for someone special in your life or you love to drink wine and are never really sure what to buy, Uncorked Ventures is a great way to go.

Argan Oil Hair Mask #InstaNatural

How is your hair? Is your hair in need of additional hydration from all of the chemical and heat damage that you put it through? I was recently given an opportunity to try Argan Oil Hair Mask by InstaNatural.
The key ingredients in the hair mask are;  Argan Oil, Amino Acid Complex, Coconut Oil, Shea Butter, and Vitamin B5. Nothing that you cannot pronounce and all organic.

With chemically treated hair and daily heat styling my hair was limp and brittle. After just one use of the Argan Oil hair mask, my hair felt light and soft and was clearly shiny. 

The real test was allowing my daughter to try the hair mask. Her hair sometimes appears to have been run through the dryer on the "Frizz" cycle. She also loves to color her hair but is incredibly indecisive when it comes to keeping a color. Change. Change. Change. After one use, her hair came out shiny and a lot less frizzy. Did it feel soft to me? Definately!

If you are in need of a quick repair more often than not, this is a product well worth trying.

Silicone Cupcake Liners by Galley Essentials #bestsiliconebakingcups

When it comes to baking in my home there is always something missing. Whether that missing item is flour or cupcake liners, I promise I will have to make a run to the store to pick something up. I recently had the opportunity to test out Silicone cupcake molds from Galley Essentials

.

Not only did the silicone cupcake molds save me from having to run to the store, but they put a BIG smile on my kids faces.

The cupcake liners are easy to use and just as easy to clean! The bright colors are appealing to all ages and brighten up a table for guests.

My kids thought that the liners were fun to run around the house with, but they were both willing to give them up so I could start the next batch of cupcakes. I did find that if you are making cupcakes from a box, it would be better to buy two sets. 12 liners is not quite enough for a boxed cake mix. They are well worth the cost and would make a great gift for any baker you may know.

Australian Tea Tree Oil Review #teatreeoil

Did you know that tea tree oil is one of the most versatile essential oils. You can use it to naturally fight acne, toenail fungus, lice, yeast Infections, skin tags, cold sores, dandruff, ringworm, fleas, warts, psoriasis, and more.

You can use it to make your own shampoo, lotion, soap, face mask or cleaner, body wash, and toothpaste. Make sure that you find a non-diluted product before you purchase.

I am not brave enough to stick tea tree oil in my mouth to clean my teeth. Have you smelled tea tree oil? It is not minty fresh. It does not stink by any means, but it does not smell like the way I want my toothpaste to smell. But knowing that tea tree oil is natural and not filling my cabinets with harsh chemicals makes me feel better. I know that I am not alone in my thinking either. Would you want to use a chemical created in a lab to treat ringworm on your child? Or would you feel better placing a little tea tree oil on your child to eliminate the pesky fungus?

In my house, we have a problem with acne. I found that placing a few drops of tea tree oil on a q-tip and applying it directly to a pimple before bed mad the redness and swelling go down. I also found that if i mixed a few drops of tea tree oil in aloe vera and applied it to my face, by skin stayed soft and did not dry out from the tea tree oil.

Just like most other people, I still have store bought moisturizers too. I have store bought facial moisturizers that contain chemicals. I have taken a small amount of the store bought moisturizer and mixed in a few drops of tea tree oil and keep it in a small container with a screw on lid. I use this in the morning under my make-up to give me a little added acne protection during the day.

After using tea tree oil in my home and seeing how versatile it can really be, I will never be without it again.
