Two more guest blogger reviews!

Angie-  We won the Cascadian Farms Fruitful O’s®, which we found to be similar to Fruity Cheerios®, just a little less fruity.  My kids didn’t provide very elaborate comments, so I expanded my focus group to include my nephews, who are 5 & 8.  The comments ranged from “kind of like them” & “so-so” to “two thumbs up.” My daughter added that they taste like “dried up Cheerios®” (I’m pretty sure she meant that in a good way).  Both of my kids liked them best without milk as a snack.

I found Fruitful O’s® in only one store in our neighborhood, & it’s the fancy-pants gourmet market that we use only for emergencies or special treats. Since I’ve yet to have a cereal “emergency”, I probably won’t be buying any there, especially since they’re charging $6.99 for a box. The Target® in Jersey City didn’t have Fruitful O’s®, but they did have Cascadian Farms Chocolate O’s® (similar size box, about 11oz) for $4.04.  We will most likely try them again. Thanks for letting us try them!

(Note from Amber- Cascadian Farms has stated that the Fruitful O’s® are a fairly new product & they haven’t expanded the store base completely that carries them.  We buy ours at Fairway here in NYC & we pay $3.99 for the box. You just need to check your local grocers, Wal-Mart® & Target®, as Target has told me that they are trying to stock this in all their stores soon).

Jessica- I had the pleasure of trying the Burt’s Bees Radiance Lotion®.  This lotion was fantastic! I’ve never used a shimmer lotion before so when I first used it I was a little skeptical.  Don’t be alarmed the first time you use it, because the mica does make it very, very sparkly, but it fades to a perfect “sun-kissed” shimmer in about 20 minutes.  It smells good, not to herbal.  It rubs in & doesn’t leave a greasy fell & it hydrates wonderfully.  I have sensitive skin & this didn’t irritate it at all.

I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now & my usually Fall/Winter dry legs look & feel better.  I would recommend this lotion to everyone & I plan to give it as gifts to some friends & family this Christmas.  I can’t wait for the summer to see how the shimmer will look on tanned legs when I wear shorts & skirts.  Everywhere I checked, this averaged $8.99, which can be spendy, but I will buy it again & again!  Thanks so much for the giveaways & I’m so glad I won this!

Amber- Thanks to everyone who tried the products! Our next freebies give away will soon.  Stay tuned for a chance to win more great products to try!

Until the next post...
