Go Green, Get Glam!: Review: Baggu....

Remembering to use a reuseable shopping bag requires effort and the memory of a Mensa member. LOL! No, but really, I have TONS of very sturdy, very cute reusable shopping bags that I totally forget to use all the time. Why? I can't call it, but I've found a easy solution in Baggu.

Baggu comes in great colors and is stored in a little pouch that you can just drop in your handbag. I put my Baggu( I got the Khaki color)in the outside pocket of my latest bag with my phone, so I know its there. I've used it over the last week or two to much success. Its holds a serious amount of grocery, which is my main issue with reusable shopping bags. I shop at the market, twice a week at the most and I always have a zillion plastic bags. I took my Baggu out at the Piggly Wiggly yesterday and that cashier filled her up! Felt good to be conscious.:)

I also used my Baggu at CVS. I put my Green Tag on the Baggu. :)

They also sell Baggu 3x, which is made for grocery shopping, too , Baby Baggu, for smaller shopping trips and produce bags, which is a must have for me now!

Review and Giveaway: Just Gano....

If you follow or 'like' me on RGBL Facebook Page....you know I LOVE jewelry. I thank my Grandma and Mom for that. My Grandma was a woman of 'real' jewelry. She loved gold jewelry and pearls. My Mom likes costume jewelry, the fun stuff that doesn't cost of fortune and looks great with everything. My jewelry addiction is truly hereditary!

When I was given the opportunity to review Just Gano, I was, of course, excited. lol! Just Gano brings beautiful, affordable jewelry to your doorstep in monthly in three great options. You can choose Deb(7.95, 1 piece a month), Demi ( $21.95, 3 pieces a month) and Diva (39.95, 6 pieces a month). You create a wish list of your choosing from the amazing selection of high quality designer jewelry and each month you get sent your membership option. You know how I love monthly memberships of beauty products, so Just Gano was a done deal!

I choose Demi( three products a month) and was also sent a review piece. In addition to that, I got a sign up bonus piece of a crystal bracelet and ANOTHER silver tone bracelet just because I signed up on a Friday. There always great deals going on at Just Gano!



Review Piece: The Heirloom Crystal Stretch Bracelet- very comfortable to wear and versatile. I wore it one day because I wanted a pick me up. Looking down at my wrist sparkling was divine...

My wish list pieces...

The Fifth Avenue Bracelet- a beautiful vintage-like piece with rhinestones and pearls. Although I love this piece, I had a pearl missing in it. But being who I am( the Work It Out Queen) I turned it around so that the missing pearl area would not show and it was smooth sailing from then....
The Amethyst Romanitique- I love this seed bead necklace and can't wait to wear it in the Fall the most.

The Abstract Leaf Necklace: My favorite piece. It has that modern matte finish and perfect length.

Just Gano has no cancellation fees and no shipping fees. You can stop your monthly order at anytime but I doubt you want to!

Orglamix Organic Mineral Makeup Review & Giveaway***CLOSED***

"According to a recent survey: 98% of women who tried Orglamix said they’d recommend it to friends. The other 2% never like anything anyway. Try Orglamix risk-free. I guarantee you will l-o-v-e Orglamix; or your money back."

Can you say...What a cute start? I was given the opportunity to review Orglamix Organic Mineral Makeup, a company who specializes in a mineral makeup with zero synthetic ingredients. They sell foundation, eye colors, blushes, brushes. and more....

I choose three mineral colors from the Smokin' Haute Must Have Collection: Midnight, Obsidian, and Fig.....

Midnight is actually a flat black color with little specks of glitter. You can see them, but they won't show up on your lid.

Obsidian is a deep, navy blue shimmer.

Fig is a Fall must have...that deep lavender shimmer everyone showing up this season.

I loved the colors I chose!

Here are three days with my three Orglamix colors!:
Day One: All three colors to form a dramatic eye....hey, I wear dramatic eyes in the daytime!
Day Two: Just working with Fig on the lid. Pretty and simple wash of color...Fall, where art thou? lol!
Day Three: Midnight all over the lid and lower lid with a little Obsidian packed in on the top lid. Super-extra drama at 9 am. LOVE IT.

Overall:

I adored the colors. The formula is soft and applies very delicate to the eye lid. I've worked with loose eye shadows so I expected the fall out. The key to quelling alot of fall out is base and brush. Use a base ( whether its a cream eyeshadow or eye shadow base product) to make the product stick. Use a tight, flat, small ended brush to apply the product. Big fluffy brushes cause fall out havoc. Orglamix formula is very soft and fine so there was minimal fall out on my face. That's a sign of a good loose product:)

Now for the GOOD part!

Glamour Grub: Somersault Snack Co......

As a teenager, I was preoccupied by eating sunflower seeds...all the time. I mean the ones in the shell that you have to pop open with your teeth and eat, then spit out the shell. This hard to eat snack was usually washed down by a Fruit Punch Chek Soda, that you could buy at the long-gone Winn-Dixie for $.50.

Well, Somersault Snack Co. have taken me back about 15 years with their crunchy nuggets that are filled with toasted grains and.....sunflower seeds!!!( without the shell!)

Somersault Snack Co. Somersaults are all natural, 3g fiber, nut free and super tasty. If you are a product and you say your flavor is "Salty Pepper", it better be Salty Pepper to me. Somersault doesn't fail with the flavor. I liked SS Sea Salt, Salty Pepper and Santa Fe Salsa the best. The Chez Cocoa was yummy but I like chocolaty snacks REALLY chocolaty.:) ( addiction speaking)

Somersaults are the perfect "mindful munching"....the bag will be empty before you know it! Try them!

***I washed my SS nuggets down with Honest Tea Half Lemonade Half Tea Tea!***

Uh..Fall, Where are you? Fashion Cupcake: Eyeglasses

I spent most of yesterday going thru my first set of Fall/September Issue magazines. I've recieved so far, People StyleWatch, Marie Claire and Elle. I was in heaven! Each year I make a wishlist of things a want to refresh my wardrobe. I definitely put eyeglasses on that list. I wear them and I like to change up even though my sight doesn't change.

I get my doctor to give a my prescription glasses' prescription and take it any where I want for new frames. Its that easy! I like being able to have that option.

Ordering glasses with your prescription on hand is easy. You can go to a great site like Glasses USA for all types or glasses and sunglasses. I have light sensitivity and plan on FINALLY investing in prescription sunglasses. Being cute and can't see, is not cute! lol!

Make sure you visit Glasses USA online for ordering glasses online. It will save you time and gas going from office to office to get your frames. They also have a Facebook "fan" page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/GlassesUSAcom/49239092526

For you new Fall Frames, Glasses USA is offering a discount code of 10% your purchase, just use the code MOMMY10 !!!
