Softlips Limited Edition Winter Gift Pack Review and Giveaway

With the cold weather quickly approaching, I am so excited to introduce you to Softlips' limited edition Winter Gift Pack.  Just as my hands take a beating during the winter months, so do my lips.  With Softlips, chapped and cracked lips are a thing of the past.  Softlips keeps your lips soft while protecting them from the sun. 

The limited edition Winter 5-Pack of lip conditioners contains- Sugar & Spice, Winter Mint, Sugar Cookie, Sugar Plum Berry, and Mint with a Hint of Vanilla.  Packaged in a festive, blue sachet, the new Softlips limited edition winter flavor gift pack is affordable, makes for the perfect stocking stuffer or a final touch on a gift attached to a ribbon. Each irresistibly, delicious flavor is reminiscent of the holidays, helping to protect lips with SPF 20 and great moisturizing properties.  My favorites so far are the Winter Mint and the Sugar Plum Berry.


I love how Softlips lip conditioners glide on smoothly and don't leave behind that greasy feeling that other lip balms do.  Softlips smell good, feel good, and look good!   I know a few special people that will be getting a Softlips Winter 5-pack in their stocking.  Do you?

Solay Wellness Giveaway!

Solay Wellness is a family run, small business located in Illinois. Founded by Isabella Samovsky, Solay Wellness was developed out of concern for the environment, as well as all that live in it. Isabella states that her “…intention is to become a brand that is known for its true therapeutic values, products with heart and soul that provide real benefit to the customer.“ At Solay Wellness, all products are hand-made and never mass produced. They also donate a percentage of their profits to non-profit organizations that benefit the Earth.

When Solay Wellness contacted me asking if I’d be interested in reviewing samples of their products, I went directly to their extraordinary website. I was honestly in shock by the number of products they offer. They offer wellness products for the body such as, salt lamps, organic skin and body care, all natural cleaning products, gourmet food, pet supplies, and much more. Although I did not review a salt lamp, it definitely has me intrigued. “An environment rich in negative ions has a wonderfully positive effect on your physical, emotional, mental and even spiritual health. The healthy ions that you experience after a rainstorm or near a waterfall, can be yours anytime. Solay salt crystal lamps and candle holders made from natural and ancient crystal salts, produce a pleasant and soothing light. They also gently and naturally cleanse the air and restore ionic balance, while improving your energy, mental alertness and well-being.” I would encourage you to check them out.

I was lucky enough to be able to review three great products from Solay Wellness. As birthdays pass and gray hairs appear, little wrinkles have been finding their way onto my face. My most troubling area is around my eyes. For the last two weeks, I’ve been testing out Solay’s Aging Beautifully Face and Body Soap, Solay’s Organic Moisturizer, and Solay’s Undereye Cream. I have very sensitive skin, so I tested each product first on my hands before continuing. When I decided I was safe, I moved on to my face. I can honestly say that after two weeks of use my face is softer. My undereye dark circles have also lightened and are less puffy. I can’t say for certain if my wrinkles have decreased, but I’m pretty sure that after a few more weeks, I will see a noticeable difference.

All of the products that I reviewed are 100% organic and safe for not only you, but also for the environment. If my skin liked it, it should be great for everyone. And don’t forget the calming scent of the soap. Every time I step into the shower, I can smell the sweet mixture of vanilla and lavender. Any item from this store would make a wonderful Holiday gift.  Whether your looking for a main gift or stocking stuffers, Solay has a product for you.  If you would like to try one of the great products I reviewed or any of the other wonderful products they sell, take advantage of the discount code Solay gave Between the Line readers. Simply enter “Solay” when you are ready to purchase for 15% off your entire shopping basket.  Don't forget to check out their other site, Solay Lifestyle, for other great gift ideas.

Thanks to wonderful people from  Solay Wellness, one lucky reader is going to win a $25 gift certificate to start their Holiday Shopping with!

Yumnuts Review and Giveaway!

Whenever I am craving a salty snack, I tend to reach for the nuts. Cashews are my favorite, by far. So you can’t imagine my delight when I discovered Yumnuts Naturals. Yumnuts specializes in 100% natural dry roasted cashews. There are no added oils or artificial ingredients. They are also gluten and cholesterol free. Yumnuts are better for you and taste amazing!

I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to review a few of the many Yumnuts flavors. My absolute favorites were the Sea Salt cashews. The flavor was outstanding ! You could easily distinguish the difference in the salt. I’ve recently turned to sea salt for daily cooking, and I find just a little pinch gives such a bold flavor. I have already ordered a few more bags from their online store. This time I may share with my family.

I was also sent a sample bag of Chocolate Yumnuts. The taste was delicious and unexpected. Typically when eating a chocolate covered nut or fruit, the sweetness of the chocolate dominates all the other flavors. The chocolate cashews from Yumnuts are not dipped in milk chocolate, but rather dusted with cocoa powder for a hint of sweetness. It is no surprise that these were my girls’ favorites.

The Spicy Cajun Yumnuts were a bit intimidating for my family. I have young girls, so at the mention of the word Spicy, they refused to try it. My father-in-law and I however, enjoyed the sample. The Spicy Cajun cashews are covered in a special blend of salt, spices, paprika, garlic, onion, and sugar. The addition of sugar offset some of the spice to make it a sweet, yet spicy treat.

The last sample we tried was Chili Lime cashews. These babies are so hot, that they had to put a warning on the bag. Growing up, my mom made all of our meals pretty spicy. So I was sure that I would love these cashews. My father-in-law dug in first and was in love. So I grabbed a handful and popped them in my mouth. Big Mistake! My mouth was on fire!!!. Of course, my father-in-law, who actually likes things spicier than my mom, loved them. I think he was really happy that they were to spicy for me because he got to take the rest of the bag home.

Yumnuts also make Honey and Coconut flavor cashews. I’ve ordered some more from Amazon to use as stocking stuffers for the holiday. Who wouldn't love a delicious bag of Yumnuts to snack on??    Now I know you are all probably salivating by now, so let me give you the good news. The generous people from Yumnuts have offered one lucky reader the chance to win a bag of Chocolate and a bag of Coconut Yumnuts.  They will also send a t-shirt to the winner! .  If you can't wait and want to order your own bags, visit their online store or Amazon to place your order today.

CP Docks Review and Giveaway

Is your cell phone's charger cord always getting in the way?  It can't just be me!  You plug in your phone in the kitchen and it gets in the way of preparing your food or tangled with the other phone you are charging.  You plug it in near the floor and it ends up getting stepped on.  What if your phone could have its own shelf?
