Cant sleep..so I hear a DRUM ROLL!!!

Okay, as I promised I am catching up and first things first is a rant about how someone thinks we have "fake" reviews, then our winners and another BIG thank you to our sponsors Stephanie with Pampered Chef and Sandra with Scentsy.

Let me just say, I did receive an e-mail from someone saying that my reviews are not real, well written and don’t carry my opinion. Well let me assure you all, Ashley and I use every product sent to us, we do NOT do this for fun and to write a “fake” review. I work very hard on my blog and consider it a great way to share my tips, life, school trials and work with everyone. While I may not be the best reviewer, nor do I have kids, which that is why we have the lovely Ashley, but I do try my hardest. I put everything out there and on the line and I share a lot of stuff with everyone and try to make sure you all have fun reading my blog and reviews. I do try to give Ashley our children and mom friendly items, since my child is a fur baby. Which let me say, she does love her new stuffed animal, big thanks to Sandra! I just wanted to clear the air and say that here at A Girl In A Guy’s World, we are serious and we do write real reviews and if you feel other wise, feel free not to read about my life. I am not forcing you to, but I do think it is the nice thing to do. Since the golden rule is..If you cant say anything nice, do NOT say anything at all.

Back to the winners! Our first winner is for the way over due announcement of Stephanie’s Pampered Chef giveaway is #2, Amy Craft. Thank you to the two of you who entered. Make sure we thank Stephanie for this giveaway, because without her, I would not have this new amazing peppermint chocolate sauce for my ice cream on a bad day.

Our second winner is for the Scentsy Buddy giveaway, thanks to Sandra Foy. Our winner is #8, Lindsay Leigh. Thank you to all who entered this giveaway and lets remember to thank Sandra, she is our largest and most generous sponsor. She has bent over backwards and helped us keep our word to you by providing giveaways when consultants have bailed. 

Lets make sure we say a big thank you to both these ladies. They both stepped up for our blog when other backed down on short notice. Also, if you are a winner please make sure you respond to the sponsors e-mail with in 48 hours, or a new winner will be picked. Thanks!

Scentsy Buddy Review and Giveaway with Sandra

Sandra Foy, a Consultant with Scentsy, sent me Ribbert, the frog Scentsy Buddy.

My first thought when I pulled him out of his custom box, which is more like a pet condo with windows and doors, was how the pictures I have seen of these in the catalogs and online just don’t give these guys enough credit! From the pictures I saw, I imagined him to be thin and kind of lanky, when in fact he is quite the stout little guy, and way softer than I expected. Scentsy describes the buddy’s are perfect for your child or the child with in yourself! These little guys have a nifty zipper pouch  in their back to stuff with a scent pack. While I can not vouch on how long they will last since I did not have one, many people I have spoke with say they can last up to 5 months, just depends.

 Now isn't this nifty, look how simple it would be to switch the scent! I LOVE this feature

I will say this buddy is so soft and cuddly, it is the perfect amount of fluff and softness, fills the body just right. The zipper pouch seems like a great idea for little one’s who take their stuffed animals everywhere seeing as how they will keep them from being less stinky. Not to mention that you can just wash the buddy and change the scent whenever! One of my friends daughters has one and says they hold up perfect in the washing machine and the scent makes it perfect for their rooms when they become “curious” of the cords on the warmers. I was told the buddy can fill the room with the scent inside it.
These little buddy’s come in 10 different animals, one being for the winter and one being a charity item benefiting the Ronald McDonald House. They have over 30 scents to stuff them with from a calming lavender to a bright and fun fruity scent. They range in price from $25 to $30 depending on which buddy you get.

What else does Scentsy offer? Everything from hand sanatizer and car items to elegant warmers and over 80 scents to pick from in wax! Is it worth the money? Yes, I think the buddy is worth the money. My puppy loved it, she kept it in her crate and laid on it at night as well as had a fight or two with her cousin over it. I am sure it will hold up to a child if it can handle my puppy and her cousin.

Would you like to win a Scentsy Buddy of your own?

Coles surgery was today and let me just say I was a mess during my final.

I just cant wait to go home tomorrow after my last final and give him a hug and kiss and see how he is doing.

Tupperware with Sandra Foy

Okay, so unlike the rest of America, I some how have never used Tupperware all 22 years of my life. I am not sure how it happened, but let me just say, THANK YOU to Sandra! She is an AMAZING sponsor of ours and has sent me an amazing product to try. I used the product this past week in my prep for Thanksgiving, so now on with the review!

For this review Sandra sent me the Tupperware Quick Chef Food Chopper and Processor. Let me just say that this is a pretty neat little item and I love it! I will say that I did learn a few lessons after starting to use it that made it even easier and better. The Quick Chef makes chopping easy, while saving money and providing a quick upper body work out! With just a few quick turns vegetables are chopped and mixes of almost any kind are mixed! A single turn of the handle rotates blade or paddle whisk four times, saving time and effort. The staggered 3 stainless steel blades effortlessly chop fruits and vegetables and even nuts. The paddle whisk quickly whipped up my eggs for morning breakfast. The top I will say could be better, The handle is not attached, which is great for storage, but it comes off it you have a bit to much in the chopper, something I learned! The non-skid base was genius, it prevents sliding, which comes in handy when you are chopping away!

My Quick Chef came with the 3 staggered stainless steal blades, the whipping attachment, a funnel, with measurements, for easy adding of liquids and a top so that you can store directly in the bowl once you are done mixing! Let me say after washing those blades, WATCH OUT, man our they sharp, I think they are shopper then the ones on my electric one that I just bought! Most of the items fit inside the bowl for storage, making it easier to store and harder to loose parts.

I chose to make my cranberry orange relish in my Quick Chef this year. I should have known that just like my blender, I needed to do this in batches. But I didnt do that, so I learned the hard way, got an AMAZING work out till i realized that I needed to break it in to batches. Once I broke them in to batches, it was so EASY! The blades turned with ease, the funnel was great to add the wine in with out a mess. I LOVE THIS CHOPPER!

Here is my relish half way though the process! And now, here it is Finished!

Now here's my recipe in case one of you would like to try it!
12oz FRESH Cranberries
1 Medium orange with the peel on and cut in to chuncks
Pecans or Walnuts to taste, a few handfuls is what I do
2-3oz dry white wine
Cinnamon to taste
Sugar to taste

Chop till all small and chunky, chill for about 8 hours then eat! Great with turkey, by its self or on cream cheese and crackers!

Okay, now who wants to win some Tupperware?

3W Supplements Review!

This review was not written or preformed by myself. I do not live with horses in my studio, but my grandfather and his wife have a farm with their own horses, a donkey and some borders. Here is the review written by them! Let me just say, while I was down there the horses seemed to LOVE the EquiDisk. So now on with the review!


"We run a small, but charming boarding facility in Argyle, TX. Thanks to 3W Supplements-Cathy M Williamson an EquiPride Dealer, we received the EquiDisk to see what our most critical consumers (the horses) would think about this new product. Since we have several paddocks that separate the girls and boys, I gave one EquiDisk to each for trial. Immediately the boys showed much interest, but ultimately every horse that had access to the EquiDisk enjoyed the healthy ingredients on a daily basis. The great thing about the EquiDisk is that it has multiple uses. Not only does it serve as a great supplement, but it also is a great distraction for boredom.  My oldest horse, Stef, visits the Equidisk regularly first thing every morning before breakfast. She makes the EquiDisk a part of her daily routine and she would know what is good for her because she is 29 years old! I'm happy with the product because it lasts longer that a salt lick, but also provides other important minerals that are necessary in the horses daily diet. Great product!"

Do you own a horse? Do you want to order some for your own horse? Well here is the info to try this amazing product!
