FREE Carmex Including New Healing Lotion!

If you didn’t know already, we don’t make any money on this website.  Sometimes we find some pretty good deals, and we share because we want to.  Occasionally someone gives us a product to review and share, and another one to give away as a prize.  These winners are chosen randomly (using random.org), simply by numbering the comments below the contest and randomly choosing a number.  The comment can be as simple as “I like Carmex”, or “I don’t like Carmex”, or write as much as you want.  Each one has an equal chance of winning. 

This is just a little variety because sometimes we probably get a little boring :)   Anyway, people commenting on these little giveaways is very important to us, and to the companies (like Carmex) that give us the products.  

Only one person commenting on this site will win this new bag full of FREE Carmex products, but the chances of it happening are excellent.  It is a $52 value.  Give it a try!  CLICK HERE TO ENTER.  Just scroll all the way down and type something.

Carmex Makeup Bag Full of Goodies!

I was afraid some of you didn’t get to see this deal, because I had “Blog Glob”, which means something happened with Yahoo and my Blog got all Globbed up (technical term I suppose).  Anyway CLICK HERE to see all the great stuff in this Carmex bag, and how to get one!

Carmex Giveaway! Plus $2 Coupon

carmexbag-001-300x225Look what Carmex sent me to use way out here in the dry West Texas Desert!   I love Carmex, and nothing more perfect to keep lips moisturized.  Hopefully without admitting my entire age, I’ll tell you that I used to carry the little pots around in my purse or pocket when I was in Jr. High and then high school, only because they hadn’t invented the little tubes yet.  (At least they hadn’t yet showed up in my small Texas town).   

Remember These?

Remember These?

Now, I get to tell you all about ALL their products, and the are giving me another one  of these cosmetic bags full of Carmex products just like this one above that I am going to give to one of you!   Keep reading to find out more.   Oh, and you have GREAT chances to win, because there is one whole entire makeup bag full of Carmex products just for one of the readers of this blog that comments and no one else will be entered.  Retail value $52.32!

Honestly, I received this kit a couple of weeks ago, but I wanted to actually try all the products out before I told you what I think, especially the healing cream.  Since I have really dry heels, I was excited the most about trying this. I tried it and it WORKS!  Way better than my old lotion.  Not too much of a smell, which is fine by me.   For a limited time, all of you can still get this COUPON for $2 off either the healing cream or the healing lotion.

The Carmex healing lotion is basically lotion, and is fine, but nothing extra special.  It soaks in fine and moisturizes as well as any lotion, and doesn’t leave a greasy feel.

 In this dry West Texas weather, the Carmex lip moisturizer is the only thing I buy to moisturize my lips.  I’m telling you, I live in the DESERT!  I’ve tried others, but I always go back to Carmex.   The new flavors were kind of fun to try.  Cherry and Strawberry were both great, but the Cherry won out as my favorite.

 Now, Carmex has come out with tinted moisturizing lip balm, in peach and pink, and that was included in this kit too.  Nothing against the pink, I’m just not a “pink”, but the peach is best for me.  Both are great for a little moisturizing, with a little lip gloss coloring, too.   And the cute, cute bag is now going to be my new makeup bag!

A little history on Carmex… Did you know:

Carmex® lip balm was invented in 1937 by Alfred Woelbing, literally on the family stovetop. For the next 20 years, Alfred and his wife made Carmex by hand and poured it into the familiar yellow-capped jars.

 Eventually production moved out of the Woelbing home and into a rented facility in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where it remained until the move in 1975 to its current site in Franklin, Wisconsin.

 Carma Labs employs about 100 people and is still owned and operated by the family: Alfred’s grandsons Erik and Paul Woelbing.  The Woelbing stove is now used for cooking things the family can actually eat.

We´re excited to share some great news for cereal lovers. This week General Mills announced a commitment to further reduce sugar in cereals advertised to kids under 12 to single digit grams of sugar per serving. The company has already been reducing sugar in cereals while increasing key nutrients, such as calcium and vitamin D, and providing whole grain.

General Mills, through MyBlogSpark has provided us with with 4 VIP coupons for FREE boxes of ANYGeneral Mills cereal, and we are going to share with you!  Read How to Enter below!

Did you know that ready-to-eat cereal eaters consume less fat, less cholesterol and more fiber than non-cereal eaters? Cereals also deliver important vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients, making cereal a top source of key nutrients in children´s diets.

Other cereal benefits:

  • Ready-to-eat cereals, including presweetened cereals, account for only 5% of sugar in children´s diets.
  • Ready-to-eat cereal is the No. 1 source of whole grains in a child´s diet today.
  • More frequent cereal eaters tend to have healthier body weights and lower Body Mass Index measures.

Studies also demonstrate the benefits of eating breakfast. A 1998 study showed that children who eat breakfast tend to perform better at school. Compared to children who skip breakfast, children who eat breakfast score higher on tests, are less likely to miss class or be tardy, have fewer reported discipline problems, and make fewer trips to the office.

For more information about kids and cereals, please visit Cereal Health and Wellness.

Right now you can go get a $1off COUPON  for one of 4 General Mills cereals.

Win A Case of Chocolate!

jerchocolateSomething new to win! This isn’t my contest, so although comments are welcome, you actually have to follow the link at the bottom of this post to enter on their Facebook page.  They emailed me and asked me to tell you about it, and it sounds yummy.

Jer’s Handmade Chocolates, the only all-natural peanut butter chocolate confection on the market, invites you to send in a picture of you “having a ball” this holiday (whatever that means to you!), for a chance to win a case of their Cara Mella™ All Natural Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars (a $70 value) to share with family and friends. 

Jer’s Chocolates began with a student named Jer making chocolate peanut butter balls for his friend’s holiday parties, turned into an annual holiday fundraiser party appropriately titled “Jer’s Ball,” and has today become an award winning chocolate company. The Cara Mella™ bar just last month won “Best Chocolate Bar” at the prestigious Chocolate Show in NY!

Entertaining is at their root and they want to reward holiday cheer. Contest ends December 31, 2009. Visit: http://www.facebook.com/jerschocolates?v=app_4949752878#/jerschocolates?v=app_48008362724
