OvenArt Bakeware Silicone Muffin Pan Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I love to bake and even cook with muffin pans but the old fashioned kind can be pesky to clean. Wow...not this BPA free high grade silicone muffin pan from OvenArt.  I can talk for hours about stress-free baking and scrub-free cleaning with this wonderful silicone muffin pan by OvenArt Bakeware.

Stuck-on food is annoying and a nightmare to cleansing those old metal pans. I used to worry so much with those chemical nonstick coatings that used to scrape off....did it go into my food?

This nonstick muffin pan is totally worth it! OvenArt shared that make this silicone muffin pan with an expensive grade of pure 100%, high quality European silicone. I have found even the stickiest and messiest recipes turn into delightful muffins, cupcakes, cornbread, egg muffins and more. Food seems to slide out effortlessly and bake perfectly every time. I feel very good about using my safe, BPA-free, filler-free, and worry-free silicone bakeware. It makes me want to cook more too!

I just love how easy this muffin pan cleans up. The magic nonstick baking cups clean with a bit of my fave detergent and water. Today I was tired after baking and I just tossed the pan in the dishwasher. The peanut butter brownie muffins came out perfectly. This muffin pan isn't just for muffins and cupcakes either. I am excited to try some delicious non-muffin recipes such as taco cups, crab cakes, mini lasagnas, and frozen desserts  that I have pinned on my Pinterest. since it's totally safe for the oven, freezer, microwave, and even the dishwasher.

The company tells me that this high quality muffin pan is protected by the OvenArt "Better Muffin" Guarantee for lifetime assurance against defects and performance issues.  That makes me very confident too.

A Bit About OvenArt Bakeware

OvenArt Bakeware is crafted from the highest quality materials and used by bakers who value time, energy, and the simple joys of baking.
All of their silicone baking products are made of premium silicone and contain zero filler material. By taking no compromises in design and construction, they have created bakeware that is nonstick, easy to clean, and will help you create enough delicious goods for a lifetime.

A Note About Floppiness

Silicone bakeware products vary in their sturdiness from one manufacturer to the next. OvenArt Bakeware products are very flexible, maybe even "floppy", compared to silicone bakeware you'll find in stores because we opt for a silicone that is free of cheaper, plastic filler material--sturdiness in a silicone pan almost always comes from the addition of plastic fibers. I don't want that and I know you sure don't either. That is why they opt for the highest quality silicone that is free of any filler materials and recommend the simple solution of placing the pan on a cookie sheet before filling with batter for easier oven transfer.  They truly only want the best baking experience for all their customers.  They have a 100% customer satisfaction priority at OvenArt Bakeware and stand behind our products with a full refund policy.

General Tips for Baking With Your Silicone Muffin Pan

• Place the bakeware on a cookie sheet before filling the cups for easy oven transfer. For thick batters like corn bread, you may not need the help of a cookie sheet.

• Lightly grease the cups of the muffin pan using oil, butter, or margarine.

• Wipe away any excess batter from the top of the muffin pan for easier cleanup

• Place the cookie sheet on the middle oven rack and bake according to the recipe. Check for doneness using a toothpick.

• If needed, feel free to add a couple of minutes to baking times until desired browning is reached

• The silicone cools quickly and will be cool to touch within a couple of minutes of removing from the oven. Pop out your baked goods with your fingers by pushing up from the bottom of the cups.

You can find this great silicone muffin pan on Amazon and you know it will be at your door in a flash and you can get started with your baking.

Framesi Be Yourself BY Mist Hair Spray Strong review

 Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

It can be a real challenge to find a really good hair spray that holds all day long but keeps your hair looking beautiful.  I recently had the opportunity to try Framesi Be Yourself BY Mist Hair Spray (Strong) and I was pretty impressed with how my hair came out. I was attending an afternoon wedding with the ceremony outside. The spring weather in the mid-Atlantic here can include some windy days so I wanted to make sure my hair would look great all afternoon. 

The day of the wedding I washed my hair and blew it out as usual. After it was styled the way I like I sprayed on the Framesi Be Yourself BY Mist Hair Spray with a light touch. I was impressed with the way it dried very quickly. My hair had a very firm hold but still felt soft to the touch.  I was happy to hear that this Framesi Be Yourself BY Mist Hair Spray keeps your style in place while also protecting my hair from UV rays.  The secret behind this great spray is the inclusion of anti-aging Vitamin E, iron, magnesium mineral salts and light silicone which gives you shiny hair too.  It provides color safe and UV protectants combined. I experienced no build up or flaking either.

I had great volume and my hair stayed in place beautifully with Framesi Be Yourself Hair BY Mist Hair Spray.  I will continue to use this great styling product since it works nicely on my hair. You can purchase it through Beauty Care Choices. Beauty Care Choices is an authorized online salon that offers professional consultations over the via and via email with licensed professionals. All of their products are purchased from the manufacturer direct or from their authorized distributor.  You can feel confident that you are purchasing the right beauty and hair products for your needs when you shop through this online salon since they have been in business since 2004.

Garcinia Cambogia 1600 MG Upgraded Strength 100% Pure and Premium Review + Giveaway

These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Have you started to think about bikini season and how you are going to really achieve those targeted weight-loss benefits? Maybe you have stepped it up in the gym and really tightened up your diet and clean eating plan. It is all part of the equation but you might consider some additional assistance in the form of a supplement like Garcinia Cambogia. How do you decide on the best brand and dosing though?  Your results may vary greatly.  Life and Food has shared with me that this may be dependent on the potency of the Garcinia Cambogia extract used. Life and Food Garcinia Cambogia 1600mg contains a full 800 mg per capsule. Many other brands only have 500 mg capsule so you are getting an excellent value.You can feel confident with Life & Food Garcinia Cambogia products for a few reasons:

• High quality extracts.
• Super high potency 800 mg capsules that are easily absorbed  
• Are manufactured with the Garcinia Cambogia extract used from the original clinical trials. 

As recommended, Life & Food Garcinia Cambogia products are certified 60% HCA compared to many other brands which are 50% or less. Their labs have found through testing that production of a concentration above 60% is unreliable and expensive. 60% is the recommended and reliable HCA formula that Life & Food follows strictly. 

I was impressed to hear the Life & Food  Garcinia Cambogia products are sourced and tested to make sure they are of the HIGHEST quality and maintain superb bio-availability compared to other brands in the market.

This product is stimulant free which also made me feel great about including it in my spring body plan. Data suggest that it may promote a balanced, lighter mood by boosting serotonin levels in a balanced manner. I  certainly have been feeling good when I use it. Life & Food Garcinia Cambogia is an allergen-free product. They use a vegetable capsule with no fillers or binders, mixing Garcinia Cambogia fruit rind with calcium and potassium to aid absorption.

You can feel confident it is made and manufactured in world class GMP certified facilities in the USA.  It is free of contaminants, fillers, binders, or toxins.
