Progresso Super You (plus a review and a giveaway

To help kick off a new outlook on the New Year, Progresso is excited to announce the return of the "Souper You™ Debut" contest! From January 3rd through March 16th. You can enter by going to Progresso on facebook, 
You can  enter for the chance to win a full makeover in New York City.To help promote this giveaway I was contacted by Progresso  through Blog Spark to review their lite products. I was sent New England Clam Chowder, Santa Fe Style Chicken, Vegetable & Noodle, Chicken Noodle & Beef Pot Roast.

Let me first profess, that I am already a lover of Progressive soup but have not tried any of their lite products until now. I made myself the chicken noodle for lunch and I have to say a I was quite pleased with the flavor. I don't know about you, but I've tried other lite soups and I have always had to add salt to help with the taste, which kind of defeats the purpose, but I did not add anything to this soup and the flavor was quite pleasing.

On Saturday I made the Clam Chowder, which for a canned clam chowder was pretty decent. Clam chowder has always been my least favorite canned soups, I usually make it from scratch and have found no canned soup that equals the taste of homemade, but this wasn't bad & a lot more easier to make, though it won't replace my home made clam chowder, it will be great just to have on hand for a busy day.

Now for the good news. Progresso has generously offered to give 1 of my readers a gift pack that contains a VIP coupon for a free can of Progresso soup, as well as a yoga mat, water bottle, set of aerobic bands, sport headband and two sport wristbands.

Disney's Tangled

My daughter and I went to see this movie on the long holiday weekend and what can I say, Disney scored another hit. We loved it from beginning to end.

The story line in typical fairytale fashion, King and queen are going to have a baby, mother is losing baby and they need a magical flower to help heal her, problem is, the only one left in the kingdom is being hidden by an old crone who use it's powers to keep her young. The kings  knights find it and take the flower to heal the mother and a beautiful baby is born. Everyone is happy till the old crone seeks her revenge.

Based on the fairytale Rapunzel and starring  Mandy Moore as the lead role,  Zachary Levi (of Chuck fame) as Zachary Rider and Donna Murphy who plays the evil crone with relish.

While watching this movie all I could think is how far animation has come. It is breathtaking in this movie. I like the score and the story, but the animation truly is the star. I highly recommend this movie for a family night at the movies. Trust me, you will not be sorry.

Carmex Review and Giveaway

I was recently asked by Carmex to review their Moisture Plus lip balm. The day it arrived I was eager to get started. It has been cold in Oregon and my lips were feeling the weather.

I tried the peach the first day and although the color was a little bright for my personal taste, I loved the way they made my lips feel. Almost instant relief, The next day I tried the pink, that color suited my complexion better and again, after application, my lips felt soft and moisturized.

After 3 days my lips were healing, a week they were soft and healed from my winter chapness. (Is that a word? Well it is now ;) ) I truly love this product. I have been buying their tins of lip balm, but now I can also wear the same soothing ingredients as a lip gloss. Try it for yourself and see....OR

WIN 1!!!

Carmex has given me the same 2 products to give to 1 of my readers.

Mandatory entry
post in a comment what your doing to keep your lips safe from the cold winter months.
