Jump into Fall Baking with Lucy Leid’s New Cookbook and an Amish Baking Basket Giveaway

Disclosure: I received this book complimentary in exchange for an honest review.


I love to cook so I was so excited to receive this lovely cookbook featuring Amish baking. This cookbook offers so many favorite Amish family recipes that have been handed down over the years. The recipes are blended in with sweet stories from Amish and Mennonite cooks.I kind of got lost in some of the stories as I was reading through the book, they were so captivating. The recipe for the Pecan Rolls shared how delicious they taste following a winter ice-skating party for example. One Amish community sold their special hoagies to help one of the families with hospital bills. Then there were the Cocoa Cupcakes that a budding cook got "stir by hand" confused with their hand...literally. Don't forget the Whoopie Pies that one Amish woman took to the local market in her horse and buggy.

My daughter and I enjoyed reading and earmarking these yummy recipes. You can feel their comforting traditions and faith as you read the recipes and the accompanying stories. Especially now, as the cooler weather starts to move in it makes you want to gather the whole family together to enjoy some of these delicious meals. The recipes aren't complicated or fancy but they are simple, fresh and tasty and that is what everyone loves. Pick up a copy and see what plain people do with simple ingredients and how they magically turn them into heaven.

Kérastase VoxBox #KerastaseTransforms luxury hair careline @influenster @influenstervox @KerastaseUSA @Influenster #KerastaseTransforms #Therapiste

Disclosure:  I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes. 



If you have ever tried Kerastase products you know they are luxury, salon quality hair care items. They recently launched a new line of products and I received two of them to try complimentary from Influenster. I was really excited about a few of the ingredients and surprised about only one. Overall, this is a great line of hair care products that you want to check out. 



It is different because you use the conditioner first. This protects your hair. The shampoo and conditioner feel and smell luxurious. I noticed a difference right after I finished washing and conditioning or in this case, conditioning and washing my hair! It is funny doing it backwards but it does work. My hair felt soft and conditioned when I stepped out of the shower. I styled my hair as usual and dried it and it came out gorgeous. My daughter used it too the night before picture day at school and she loved it. Her hair styled beautifully...I can't wait to see the photos. Totally frizz free which is a big change. 

One of the things that surprised me was the fact that Kerastase contains sulfates. This would not be a good product to use if you have had professional keratin treatments since they are incompatible. I would love to see the product teformulated in the future without sulfates. Otherwise it is a great option for soft, frizz free and smooth, healthy hair check out Kerastase and see what you think for yourself.

Folgers Coffee Enhancers are a delicious way to enjoy your morning joe #sponsored @Folgers @Crowdtap


I recently received a variety of Folgers Coffee Enhancers to share with friends through Crowdtap.These are portable flavorings from an established coffee brand that are perfect in your fave cup of coffee. These flavor enhancers would also be fun to try in hot milk or some varieties of tea if you are not a coffee drinker. All of the flavors are delicious from Caramel to Hazelnut and more. The little containers are so cute and just the perfect size to bring to bring to work or stash in your purse or tote so you can have them available anytime you want a special cup of coffee.



These Folger's Coffee Enhancers really make your daily cup of coffee taste luxurious...almost like it came from an expensive local or franchised coffeehouse. I was thinking how much money someone could save if they are trying to break that expensive coffeehouse habit. Each one of those fancy coffee or latte drinks cost $5.00 or more...if you cut out one of those a day for a week that is $35.00 back in your pocket. One of these little enhancers cost less than one fancy coffee and tastes just dreamy. If I had one suggestion it would be if Folgers could use all natural flavors for these instead of artificial flavors. That would take things to the whole next level. Anyway, you only need a few drops to add rich flavor so it isn't a super big deal in my mind but I had to share.

Check them out and give them a try. Make your own coffeehouse coffee each day's with Folgers coffee and use their Enhancers...you can save a bunch of $$ and still treat yourself!

Lucid 'n Dirty Chocolate Flavored Coffee Based Cleansing & Exfoliating Body Scrub

Disclosure: I received one or more of the products mentioned above in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers. Reference ID: pm652e2fd3b2fa943f2b4ff310e419d7f2

This product is for external use only.

I find it is helpful to use a body scrub a few times a week to keep my skin smooth and glowing. A great option is this Chocolate Flavored Coffee Based Cleansing & Exfoliating Body Scrub.  Our decadent body scrub has a rich recipe that works beautifully. Lucid 'n Dirty is a luxury skin scrub that is free from chemicals. It contains the best natural ingredients which is exactly what I look for in my beauty products.

This coffee based scrub contains many essential ingredients to support clean, beautiful and glowing skin. The company suggests one to two sessions of scrub per week. They shared that it can support against stretch marks plus effectively remove the dead cells from the surface of your skin. It smells great so it wakes up my skin and senses when I use it. For me, it is nice to use it on the weekends when I have more time to get my skin smooth and fresh for the week. I workout about 6 times a week between running, elliptical, fitness camp and a variety of other routines and my skin gets dry. It definitely helps when I can clean my skin really well once or twice a week with a scrub like this wonderful chocolate-coffee one. After I use this chocolate-coffee scrub I moisturize all over and I wake up the next morning with super soft skin.


Lucid 'n Dirty contains natural essential moisturizers so it gives you soft, smooth skin. What could be better for your skin than cocoa butter and coconut oil?  If you love the delicious scents of coffee and chocolate, you have to try this scrub. What could be better than this kind of ingredient list?
Komenuka, Brown Sugar, Bath Sea Salt, Cocoa Butter, and Coconut Oil  That is it. Lucid 'n Dirty is an unusual name for a really super body scrub that is different than any other I have used in a good way.

Take a peek at the information on the Amazon site below and see for yourself. It is so easy to use. Just take s shower before applying the scrub. Use one scoop of scrub. Gently  massage with a circular motion, spreading the scrub all over the body. Concentrate lightly on dry areas and stretch marks. For the best result leave the scrub on for 5-10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. This is for EXTERNAL USE ONLY.

You can find this chocolate cleansing and exfoliating scrub on Amazon for easy shopping anytime.

Love coffee? The Cozyna Grinder helps you make the perfect cup of coffee every single time #cozynagrinder



We love our coffee in my household. Between our busy work schedules and the early wake up for school we truly need a good cup of coffee to get going and get out of the house on time. I love the precise and consistent grind that I get when I use this well constructed Cozyna Grinder. It is made with a Ceramic Conical Burr that stays rust free with normal use. It can grind your beans in a wide range of options too from the perfect espresso to a strong and hearty French press.

I can adjust the grind size in a snap depending on what kind of coffee I am making. There is no need to unscrew the entire grinder in order to adjust the grind size. All I do with this Cozyna Grinder is to simply turn the knob clockwise or counterclockwise. I can make it finer or if I want a more coarse grind it is easy any which way. I can achieve the perfect grind for any coffee drink from espresso, drip to  French press or even cold drip.

This grinder is constructed with a stainless steel body. The coffee mill is made of high grade stainless steel which adds a modern look and makes it more durable for the long haul. It is portable too. The smaller size makes it easy to take anywhere too so it would be great if you had a beach house or ski house...pack it right in your weekend bag so you know your coffee will be ready when you are.

Oz Naturals SPF 30 Sunscreen is great for everyday use




I take good care when I am outside every day regularly to protect my skin. I have been seeking out options the past few years that have fewer chemicals but that still retain an elegant formulation like this one from Oz Naturals. I like that it blends and absorbs into my skin rapidly and doesn't leave a white haze like I have seen in the last with other drugstore brands. It has a light, natural scent and I adore that it is made in the USA. It feels good on my skin and I like that I can get in my car to go to work and know my skin is protected from the sun. 

This novel broad spectrum sunscreen product protected my skin effectively with the SPF 30. The sunscreen left it looking healthy and fresh. My skin stayed moisturized and soft as well. I prefer products free of chemicals so I'm happy this product works effectively by using natural minerals like zinc oxide. All Oz Naturals products, like this sunscreen, are free of parabens and are sulfate free too. 

OZ Naturals is becoming a major leader in natural skincare because they create great products that do the job without the scary stuff I don't need in or on my body. I like that everything is also cruelty-free, mineral oil free, lanolin free and gluten free. This product is now one of my everyday faves and will be my go-to protection all year long. OZ Naturals SPF 30 Sunscreen is a great option to protect skin anytime.

Lift Care 24K Lift Bar is easy to use and supports my beauty routine #liftbar




I take excellent care of my skin on a daily basis but I feel like I can always do more. I had heard about this nifty Lift Care 24K Lift Bar and was excited to give it a try. I was not disappointed. 
It was easy to use and I found my creams and serums really penetrated more rapidly.

An additional function of the Lift Bar is the Acupuncture Nervous Point System.  You simply hold the bar upright and use the narrow point of the T-Head to apply onto pressure points to activate this additional benefit. 


The Lift Bar works in combination with your favorite cream or serum. Consider how much more effective it can be when gently massagedionto the skin pores with the Lift Bar versus your hands. I noticed it the first time I used it. This high tech portable device supports firmer skin and complexion for anyone from 20-80+. I find I am waking up looking more refreshed in the morning. 
The Hematite is often referred to as the blood stone because of its mystical properties purported to cleanse, purify  calm and soothe. It has been said to provide a grounding effect
The Hematite in the Lift Bar, in conjunction with the powerful vibrations of the T-head, supports blood circulation. While the facial massager vibrates, it gently supports the firming of the skin. You can sense the calm, cooling effects of the stone during treatment.

Natural Air and Fabric Freshener is the way to a fresher home and car #HomeFresh



I work out frequently so in and out of the gym and between my gym bag and my sneakers....I don't want to tell you it is not pretty. I am particular about cleaning everything frequently but still when you are working out hard and sweating it is a challenge. This Natural Air and Fabric Freshener from Amare Terra is totally up to the challenge though. This stuff really works. It has a light, fresh scent that is a bit of this and a bit of that...I think lavender and vanilla primarily but it really absorbs odors and leaves my car and my sports closet area fresh and clean. The sprayer is easy to depress and the bottle is ideal...not too tiny that it is going to run out in 5 minutes but not so big that it is unwieldy. Great natural product that you can use anywhere. I received this product complimentary in exchange for an honest review.


I really prefer to use natural products when possible. I like everything to look and smell fresh and clean in my home. I recently had the opportunity to try Natural Air and Home Fabric Refresher as a novel option to keep my home fresher. This new option for freshness combines liquid herbal extracts with essential oils that are safe for you and your family to breathe. All it takes is one or two sprays too. This odor eliminator quickly absorbs icky odors too. It leaves a refreshing natural scent in the air. I really like that I can refresh my home without resorting to commercial chemically-based products with unpronounceable names, or artificial fragrances. I know fewer chemical and artificial scents are a step up to good health.

If you haven't lately, take a peek at the ingredients in some of those air fresheners in your home or on the store shelves. The ingredients are not even pronounceable. If you have family or friends that suffer from asthma and chemical sensitivities that is not going to be good.  The chemical fragrances can linger on your clothes, skin and hair...ewww.  Try this natural odor eliminator that doesn't add more toxins to the air you breathe. It uses essential oils and a natural deodorizer.  It eliminates unpleasant smells and leaves the area with a clean and fresh scent.  

How do you use the Amare Terra Natural Air and Fabric Freshener? It is super easy! All you do is hold the bottle in an upright position and spray in areas to eliminate unpleasant odors. You can spray in sneakers, closets, offices, kitchens, baths, in pet areas, diaper pails or wherever you need some freshness fast.

You can use it anywhere too:
  • Home 
  • Car/truck
  • Office
  • Kitchen
  • Bathroom
  • Pets 
  • Shoes and sneakers
  • Diaper pail
  • Gym Bags 
You can pick up the Natural Air and Fabric Refresher online anytime.

BEAUTYOILS CO 100% Pure Rosehip Seed Oil Moisturizer Is simple and effective #beautyoils



I love to use natural skin care wherever possible. This simple oil is naturally rich in linoleic and linolenic acids. In addition it contains vitamins A and C to support the skin. BEAUTYOILS.CO 100% Pure Rosehip Seed Oil can support against the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I have definitely noticed a difference in how I need to moisturize versus my 30's. My skin seems to get dry so much faster. There is no way I can skip a night with my moisturizer. The Rosehip Oil makes it easy though...even on the nights I am exhausted I can blend a few drops into my skin and ta-dah. Off to beddy-bye and my skin still looks wonderful in the morning.
