Choc Create Review and Giveaway

Are you all ready for another yummy giveaway?  Yes?!?   Well, then let me introduce you to Choccreate.com, Your Chocolate Your Way.    Choc Create is a very unique, and yummy, online business that makes the chocolate you create with love and care.   When I say you create it, I really mean you create it.  With 113 different ingredients, 3 different types of chocolate, and 1000's of different combinations, the possibilities are just about endless. 

The generous people from Choc Create allowed me and my girls create three unique chocolate bars.  With so many possibilities, it was a very difficult decision.  However, I was thankful for the easy navigation of their site.   They have the ingredients split into different categories to allow you to search with ease.  The first chocolate bar we created was my version of my favorite oatmeal butterscotch cookie.  I started with a milk chocolate base and added in butterscotch chips, oatmeal, and cinnamon.   The cinnamon definitely gave the chocolate a unique flavor that was loved by all.   The second bar we created was left to the little ones.  It began with a white chocolate base and included Gummi Bears and Cocoa Nibs mix ins.  They loved it and would have eaten it all in one sitting if I had let them.  The third bar we created was by far my favorite.  It started with a white chocolate base and then I added in dried cherries, shredded coconut, and granola. I will admit that I didn't share much of this one.

I know you all will have a great time creating your very own chocolate masterpiece, but if you are ever unsure, Choc Create has some fun ideas just for you.  The picture above shows one of their custom creations that I will definitely be trying in the future. It is called Zora's Banana Split Chocolate. For $5.50, you receive a 3.5oz bar of Spectacular Gourmet German White Chocolate merged with Cocoa Nibs, chopped dried strawberries, Blanched CA Almond Slivers, all mixed in and topped with Dried light crisp Banana Chips. YUM!  While browsing their fun site, don't miss their Best Sellers, Healthy Choices, and Specials.

Thanks to the wonderful people from Choc Create, one of you lucky readers is going to win a $12 gift certificate to create your own chocolate bars!

Blogmania Featured Sponsor: NeoStrata (plus bonus entries)

The NeoStrata Company creates and sells dermatology approved skin care products from Neostrata, Exuviance, Coverblend, and Neoceuticals. Without animal testing, Dr.Eugene Van Scott and Dr. Ruey Yu have produced “the dermatology developed skin care collections recommended and highly regarded by skin care experts around the world”. They sell various collections that meet the needs of everyone‘s specific skin type.

I was lucky enough to have a chance to review some great products. The first one, shown above, was Exuviance’s Introductory Collection for Sensitive/Dry skin. I cannot express enough how sensitive my skin is. Even on my legs, I am very limited to the type of lotion I use. Therefore, even though it said it was for sensitive skin, I was a little hesitant. However, I am happy to report that it worked wonders! I have been using it now for months and the lines around my eyes are almost unnoticeable. Even my husband, who is very unobservant, has noticed the difference. This product states that is helps even skin tone, improves skin texture, stimulates cell turnover for improved clarity, diminishes fine lines and wrinkles, and is suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive.

A daily regimen including five high-performance anti-aging solutions uniquely formulated for sensitive/dry skin types.
In a clinical study, participants experienced significant benefits after only four weeks:
* 93% reported improvement in appearance and feel
* 85% reported visibly reduced lines and wrinkles
* 96% rated Exuviance non-irritating and compatible with their sensitive skin

The second product I reviewed is perfect for the summer months. I review Exuviance’s Heel Repair cream. Have you ever noticed that during the summer months your heel dry out a bit? I think that with wearing flip flops or going barefoot all the time does this to our poor feet. After using this cream for two weeks I now have soft, uncracked feet. My feet weren’t that bad to start with, so it make take you a bit longer to see the same results. But the good news is, it definitely works wonders.

Do your heels need rescuing? Exfoliate, soothe and smooth dry, cracked and calloused skin on feet with Exuviance Heel Repair.

* High strength Alpha and Poly Hydroxy Acids
* Exfoliates and repairs dry, cracked, scaly skin
* Pro-Vitamin E and conditioning oils soothe and refresh tired feet
* Amphoteric formulation to reduce irritation

The generous people from NeoStrata have agreed to be a Blogmania Sponsor for Between the Lines!  That means one of you lucky ladies out there is going to have a chance to win the Exuviance Age Reverse Introductory Collection valued at $98!  

This collection will:

• Diminishes the appearance of age spots, fine lines, and wrinkles
• Rebuilds collagen to help restore firmness and elasticity
• Fights damage and prevents future collagen and elastin breakdown
