Two weeks ago Ashley from CSN stores contacted me about doing a review/give away for one of their products. They have everything anyone could need for any room in their home! I was checking out the huge selection of Sofas, since it's almost time for us to get a new one. Leather seems to be really popular right now and CSN Sofas has a huge selection to choose from.
I finally decided that I would like to review/give away an Ice Cream Maker!!
Our family loves ice cream, but it's getting quite expensive in the grocery store, and I'm never quite sure what's in it (always forget my reading glasses, LOL). So this will be perfect for us and hopefully the winner will like it too :)
Look for this give away coming soon!!
Do you have a favorite Ice Cream or Frozen Yogurt recipe you would like to share? I need some ideas of what to try once the Ice Cream Maker arrives!!
AND THE WINNER IS:
SARA!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Winters in Manitoba Canada are very cold! Even with flannel sheets on the bed, some nights it just feels soooo cold, that you just want to go to sleep with all your clothes on :) Many years ago I had purchased a "flax bag" for Brad (hubby) at a craft sale. The bag could be heated up in the microwave and used for a number of different things. That bag is so old that we just don't use it any more, and Brad was missing it.
So when I was given the opportunity to review/give away a product from Herbal Hugs I was thrilled!
What's a Hug? It's a soft, polar fleece wrapped bag filled with grain and dried herbs. Our special processing ensures that the scent is infused into the grain for long lasting aromatherapy benefits. The polar fleece is a special fabric that is soft, durable, easy to keep clean, has amazing thermal retention and feels wonderful against your skin.
Place them in the microwave, toss them in the freezer or simply use their comforting and gentle scents as an aromatherapy pillow. Whichever way you choose, it is sure to become a household favorite. Complete directions for proper use and care of your Hug are inside the package.
Herbal Hugs carries Neck Wraps that come in 4 different scents:Neck wraps are 5"x28" fleece bags filled with our special blend of grain and herbs. The Wrap is sewn into sections so that the grains remain evenly distributed through the entire length. The soft wrap fits comfortably to the contours of your body. It will remain upright against the back of your neck rather than sliding down to your shoulders the way many of the collar shaped ones do.
Neck Wraps work great for: 
-neck pain
-backaches
-cold feet
-aching limbs
-stomach aches
-PMS aches & pains-stress or general malaise
-chills, colds, flu
-bed or car seat warmer
They also have Body Packs:Body Packs are 7"x8" fleece bags filled with the special blend of grain and herbs. The content of the pack flows to comfortably fit the contours of your body. No bumpy lumpy bags, no harsh cotton or other printed fabrics. 
Body Packs work great for:
-joint pain
-backaches
-cold feet/hands
-stiff or sore muscles-stomach aches
-PMS aches & pains
-stress or general malaise
-colds, flu, chills
-ear aches
Or maybe you would like a Eye Bag:
Eye Bags are soft flaxseed-filled pillows that feel like magic to sore, tired eyes. The 9"x3" satin covered bags can be used at room temperature, as a cold pack or heated slightly for penetrating warmth.
Eye Bags work great for:
-eye strain
-swollen eyes
-tired eyes
-headaches
-sinus congestion
-stress or tension headaches
-migraines-stress
-insomnia
If you can't decide which one to get - they do have a wonderful Gift Set that includes one of each bag!
I was sent a Body Pack and also an Eye Bag to review in the Rose & Chamomile scent.
Brad has quite a bit of trouble with migraines and also shoulder pain, so placing a warm bag on his neck or his shoulder actually helped relieve some of the pain. Will have to get Brad to try the Eye Bag next time he has a migraine! We really like the body bag and he uses it NOW FOR THE GIVE AWAY!The winner will receive one body pack in Rose and Chamomile from Herbal Hugs!!

I am a huge fan of Stainless Steel. It's so clean and easy to keep clean, nothing sticks! Wonderful invention. What could be better than children's dishes made from stainless? Nothing!
Untangled Living has two wonderful sets of dishes and cutlery made just for little people!
Untangled is essentially Sue Volpe’s expression to the world: What she wants to communicate, her way of enriching the lives of others, her way to inspire, energize and excite! Sue chooses to live life consciously, making her own way. And now she would like to invite others to join in this way of living, one step at a time.
Why children’s products? ...because this is where it all begins. As we raise our children, let our choices be conscious. Let us be the generation to raise our kids in full awareness. Let us give this gift to ourselves and our families – the gift that brings us happiness and health.
I was sent the set with the engraved butterfly to review. I wish these had been available when my boys were little.
These dishes are wonderful!! The butterfly design is too cute - perfect for a little girl. Sue also carries the set with a gecko design every little boy will love. Of course girls might like gecko's too - and boys, well, everyone loves butterflies :) The cup is the perfect size for little hands, as are the fork and spoon. They are quite sturdy too, won't bend to easily. The dishes are a wonderful size, though my youngest (who is now 18 years old) didn't think they were big enough :) Well - maybe not for him, but they are for a "normal" sized child!NOW FOR THE GIVE AWAY!Win a set of wonderful Stainless Steel Dishes w/cutlery from Untangled for your little one. Comes with a cup, plate, bowl, fork and spoon.

There seems to be a new way to decorate walls that has become very popular. Decorating with vinyl graphics is easy and there are so many different options out there!
Trading Phrases is one of the nicest sites that I've seen offering vinyl phrases and graphics. But how did it all begin?
It started with the inspiration in a magazine. A photo of words on a wall that didn't take a lot of time or skill, words that struck a chord with where design elements were going at the time. Using a wall for a medium for a graphic design, for an inspirational sentiment, or even just to add a touch of personalization is not new, but using the vinyl medium makes it quick, easy, and an affordable perfect touch to any space. Four plotters and several thousand orders later, we're a growing business with a dozen employees, a website that needs an overhaul, and the various growing pains that come with taking everything to the next level.
Here at Trading Phrases our passions run deep for typographic design. Inspiration comes from all over: art, fabric, quotes, design, music, just about everywhere. Most of all, our inspiration comes from our customers and their ideas for new designs, or perfect amendments to existing designs. Our lettering designs allow you to personalize your space, no matter how temporary or permanent, with bold and beautiful decals. Our products have graced libraries, schools, wedding dance floors, restaurants, stores, and far more personal abodes than we can even fathom.
Trading Phrases has an amazing selection of Categories to choose from. They have Quotes for Rooms, with something for every room. Or maybe you would like something in your entrance inviting Family & Friends into your home. There are beautiful Inspirational quotes, ideas for a Wedding, Embellishments and more! The selection is never ending! One of my favorite sections is the Outspoken Appliances - just too funny! :)
Here are some of my favorites from Trading Phrases -
They will also do Custom Quotes for you. There is an amazing variety of Colors to choose from to make your quote or graphic special. Please check out this amazing site!!NOW FOR THE GIVE AWAY!Win this beautiful Bird/Cage Graphic from Trading Phrases! Cage will be in Black and the birds will be Scarlet!

CONGRATULATIONS!!
I love Clogs!! Would like to give the person that invented them a great big hug! When you live on a farm and have to run out to the garden to get something, or run to the shop to let everyone know it's time to eat, or spend 2.5 hours on a lawn mower every 5 days - Clogs are the most wonderful thing!! Who wants to always put on a pair of lace-up shoes, takes way to long :)
Jollys has some really wonderful garden clogs! I was given the chance to review a pair, and of course also have a give away.
All JOLLYS products are manufactured in Germany; made from 100% CFC-free Polyurethane Foam. They are light, flexible, and waterproof.
Insoles are molded of natural cork and latex, covered with plaid cotton cloth. After long use, they will wear out. Replacement insoles are always available and can be purchased separately. A new pair of insoles will keep your JOLLYS going for years and years.
These are by far the nicest clogs I have tried on and used! They are really comfortable, and I could tell as soon as I took them out of the box, that they would last forever. The insole gives a little cushion which none of the other clogs I have owned did. We have quite a bit of stone/gravel on our driveway and walking over that was actually quite nice. I couldn't feel each stone under my feet, there was lots of cushion between me and the stones.
The clogs come in 3 different styles, and lots of different colors. You can get them in Men's, Women's and Children's sizes. There are Fashion Clogs, the Classic Shoe, and the new Picture Shoe. If you have really sore knees after being on the ground in the garden picking weeds, they also now carry a Knee Cushion. Really need one of those!!
There is only one suggestion I would make. If you wear 1/2 sizes - get the next size larger. I didn't since the old pair of clogs I have were really wide, and I have narrow feet. These clogs are a narrower fit. They fit ok - but are a bit tight and a tiny bit to short for my feet, but will fit my Sister-in-law perfectly :) She'll be very happy LOL.NOW FOR THE GIVE AWAY!One lucky winner will get their choice of Garden Clogs from Jollys!

I found this wonderful Canadian company with some really great bags for shopping at wonderful prices! Can't beat that :) Everyone is trying to cut down on plastic bags and take reusable ones shopping, but sometimes it's hard to find ones that look great, work great and are affordable. hotSACKS has it all!
The company was conceived in Victoria 
B.C. by Diana Nethercott, a professional photographer with an eye for design and a desire to help wean people off plastic. Following many prototypes cut and sewn at the kitchen table, the result was a bag that marries fashion with creative design.
"I strived to create a functional bag that also looks good," says Diana. "I had little interest in carrying the bags offered by big retailers that lacked style and turned me into a walking billboard."
Diana worked hard to find a green-certified manufacturer. As a result, hotSACKS have earned the right to use the EcoLogo, North America's most widely recognized and respected certification of environmental leadership. The EcoLogo assures the buyer that hotSACKS are an environmentally preferable - or green - product.
"In the last 10 years, I have personally saved about 5,000 disposable bags by using my own bags," says Diana. "Imagine if we all used re-usable bags. Let’s get carried away helping the environment!"
There are two different types of bags at hotSacks. If you are a series shopper you might like to get the Ultimate Bag Set. This 5 bag set that includes: Four larger Essential hotSACKS bags (L29 cms x W21.5 cms x H34 cms) that fit neatly inside a smaller Everyday hotSACKS carry bag (L36 cms x W10 cms x H30.5 cms). The set is on sale right now for $19.99 Canadian (+ shipping).
Diana also carries wonderful Meshy Produce Bags in four amazing colors! These reusable bulk bags, Meshy hotSACKS, are strong enough for a dozen apples yet versatile enough for your favourite wrapped candies. They come in orange, purple, blue and green. They are only $4.99 Canadian (+ shipping) for 8 bags!
You can also purchase the Everyday hotSACK separately, or the Essential Bag (L11.5 in x W8.5 in x H13 in) - each for $5.95 Canadian (+ Shipping). Check out the ONLINE Store for all the different variations and colors!NOW FOR THE GIVE AWAY!2 winners will each get a set of 8 Meshy Produce Bags in their choice of color!
