Reynolds Parchment Cookie Baking Sheets let me save time and help make my life easier @crowdtap



Reynolds Cookie Baking Sheets Parchment Paper make baking a cinch. I don't even need to tear off the right size or worry about wastage with a roll of parchment paper anymore. They are the perfect fit! I love how evenly my cookies bake no matter what the recipe. I find my cookies look prettier! Even better, cleanup is a non issue so I am more likely to bake on the weekends. It is fun to spend that time with my daughter too. I find that parchment paper is a real lifesaver with ultra thin cookies too. The cookies come out crispy and the breakage is a non-issue with Reynolds Parchment Paper Cookie Baking Sheets.



Look at the difference above with cookies baked with Reynolds Parchment Paper Cookie Baking Sheets and those baked right on the cookie sheet. You know I had to scrub to clean the unlined cookie sheet--yuck! The Reynolds Parchment Paper lined cookie sheets just needed a quick rinse and they were ready to be put away for the next use. The best part is if you have multiple batches of cookies you can re-use the parchment a few times to save you money and time cleaning. I wouldn't wash them and save them or anything but if I am having a marathon baking session I will re-use a sheet a time or two. You can use these handy parchment baking sheets for many other uses as well. Just think how easy cleanup can be when you line cake pans, baked ziti or lasagna pans and banana bread pans with parchment paper. Parchment paper like this provides the ideal non-stick results and clean up is so much easier. The best part for me is that the  Reynolds Parchment Paper Cookie Baking Sheets are already pre-cut so that is also a huge time saver. These baking sheets are ideal when you want to roast fresh veggies too like carrots, beets, parsnips, onions and more. Don't forget to line the baking sheet when you are baking your healthy homemade meatballs, meatloaf, and chicken. Save time and let your cooking and baking results shine.

Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liners make crockpot cooking a breeze! #sponsored @crowdtap


I love to cook but I am a busy working mom. The reality is I need to keep it simple. That is why I love shortcuts from quality brands to help me get healthy food on the table with less work. A good example is with my crockpot. It saves cooking time but cleanup??? It used to be yikes but no more! 

These slow cooker liners revolutionize using a slow cooker in the kitchen. Seriously, you need to try it once and you will never go back. Forget the soaking and scrubbing. These Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liners make cleanup a total cinch. It takes me about 2 minutes to cleanup. You pop a liner out of the box quickly line the pot and toss in your meal. Cook it 4 hours, 8 hours whatever your recipe. Take your food out, plate it and enjoy. Lift the liner out, toss it and a quick rinse of your pot is all you need. I made sweet n sour meatballs this week...they cooked for 4 hours on low. It took 30 seconds to cleanup with my Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner!  

Try them and you won't be disappointed. They fit 3 to 6.5 quart round and oval cookers so give them a whirl.

Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer SPF15 and Micellar Cleansing Water #ActiveIsBetter








Disclosure: I’m a member of the Garnier program, and Garnier sent me samples from the their SkinActive product line to review with friends via an in-home party.

Time for a New Year, New You and Garnier decided that my friend's and I needed a little TLC to get us to that New You for 2016. I couldn't have been happier when I found out. I was able to get the ladies together recently to help us establish great skincare habits for the coming year. I received full size bottles of Garnier’s Clearly Brighter Brightening + Smoothing Daily Moisturizer SPF15 and Micellar Cleansing Water in regular and waterproof for me and 10 friends. Just dreamy, right? 

So the ladies came over and we spent some time catching up, having a few snacks and then began working on getting our skin more radiant. Garnier SkinActive is better for you and your skin. These reasonably priced products deliver better results to help you get the most out of life. Once you try some of the new Garnier products, you will see why #ActiveIsBetter! You can find out more at www.skinactive.com 




We were so ready for fun. Christmas was over and we needed to find a new reason to catch up after the holidays and refresh ourselves. It wasn't quite ready for back-to-work time but trust me, all of us wanted to go back to work looking our best. Thanks to Garnier, it was easy and fun to do. Read more about my event below and learn why #ActiveIsBetter and how Garnier can help you get the most out of your skin, just like it did for us. All of my attendees had an opportunity to review both the Clearly Brighter Brightening + Smoothing Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 and Micellar Cleansing Water on SkinActive with a disclaimer that they received free product too. We love to share our experiences so that was lots of fun too.

 We received a giant box full of products to create a beautiful spa experience in my home
  • 11 samples of Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer SPF15
  • 8 samples of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (Regular)
  • 2 samples of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (Waterproof)
  • 1 sample of Pack of cotton pads
  • 11 samples of Product Information Card
  • 1 sample of $10 Visa gift card for party items  
This was a wonderful opportunity to refresh and renew just in time for 2016. Most all of us have gotten pretty vigilant about skincare and avoiding the sun. Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer SPF15 is a great way to brighten and smooth skin while protecting it each day. We were surprised that it only had an SPF15 though. Several of the gals mentioned that they use a SPF 30 every day. I know I have been using SPF30 or 45. The Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer SPF15 felt great on our skin and everyone liked how they looked when using it though.

We tried out Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening and Smoothing Daily Moisturizer and liked the multiple benefits in one product. It was easy to apply and gentle on our skin. The pump bottle is convenient for travel too which we liked a lot. My facial skin felt rejuvenated and refreshed and had a nice glow. We liked the light scent too. We think that with continued use our skin will get clearer and brighter. Perhaps Garnier will consider a second option with a higher SPF.
