There are so many seriously wonderful blogs out there, and this will be a great way to highlight some of those each week. Say hello to the lucky chosen 3 for this week (and feel free to stop by and give them a little extra love):

Jennifer at A Self-Confessed Foodie lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, and is a consultant for an IT consulting company. She has two blogs, enjoys photography, reading, traveling, scrapbooking, crafting, and playing with Maddy, her 3 year old Golden Retriever. Jennifer shares her recipes, restaurant reviews, product reviews, entertaining tips and much more! She says she "loves feeding people and frequently uses her friends and colleagues as guinea pigs." She has some great tips and tricks for lemons!

The Life of Jennifer Dawn is where Jennifer shares about her life, her husband and toddler. They are expecting their second child after having two "heartbreaking miscarriages." She is not only a wife and mom but also a teacher, and she juggles all of this while still enjoying her hobbies, crafts, and blogging. Jennifer shares these on her blog along with recipes, tutorials, and designs from her Etsy Shop. Her favorite times are spending time with her family, and she feels truly blessed!

Sara at "Deal"icious Mom is a wife, mom, and and a Special Education High School teacher. She's very busy but still has time for deal hunting and sharing her great buys, "deals and steals," and freebies. Sara also gives great tips on coupons and in-store and online deals. Her tips include places such as Amazon, Target, Hobby Lobby, McDonalds, The Disney Store, just to name a few. She is constantly searching for deals and invites her readers to leave comments if they know of a deal and would like to help.

Christmas In July Give Away #1





Product Review and Give Away #1 ~ Magic Senses, Target Gift Card and a Starbucks Gift Card!!


I'm pleased to have the opportunity to work with Magic Senses! Their products are amazing and I especially love their Body Butters!! They have a variety of glycerin soaps with amazing designs!! In this review I'll be sharing with you their Gardenia Body Butter, my favorite!!


All of their Body Butters are hand whipped to perfection! They contain 20% Naturally Refined Shea Butter to moisturize and soften the skin that you love! It is light, fluffy, rich and creamy and a little bit will go a long way. It absorbs very easily preventing dryness and leaving your skin very soft and smooth. We recommend it for all types of skin. The Gardenia fragrance wasn't too intense, but did leave you smelling good for several hours!

BUY IT!

Know someone who could use a little pampering, some love, or just a special gift from you? Or how 'bout getting a jump start on some Christmas Shopping? Check out all the amazing products, including some great Gift Sets that Magic Senses has to offer! Your recipient will be every so thrilled to receive some of these awesome soaps!!

There are a variety of sizes, scents and designs of their amazing soaps, as well as some great flavors of Body Butter. Their prices range from $3.15 to $16.95 and as I mentioned they carry a variety of Soaps!

They also carry these cute Scrubbies and Puffs for Kids!







WIN IT!

I will be giving away two Soaps in Magic Senses 'Butterfly Collection' to one of my lucky readers!! A Cheerful Butterfly in Blue and a Cheerful Butterfly in Pink!!
