Pear Tree Greetings $20 Gift Code Giveaway.

As a Pearista I get to showcase different products and offer my readers prizes from Pear Tree Greetings each month.    This month they're showcasing their Kids Birthday Party Invitations, although the winner can select any items from the site, not just birthday invitations.    They have such a wide variety of birthday invitations to choose from including photo invitations.

When my son was little he was OBSESSED with pirates.    I had him a pirate birthday party one year complete with eye patches for all the little boys, a pirate pinata, and even a "treasure hunt" for a hidden chest of golden chocolate coins.   Wouldn't this invitation have been perfect to go with our theme?

They even have darling thank you cards and address labels to match.   The address labels look like the skull and crossbones at the botton of the invitation!

 We have always jokingly called my daughter "The Princess" and I love these Pink Princess Birthday Party Invitations.     I think this  could be so cute for a little girls princess party and can be individualized with her age also.   These also have adorable thank you cards and address labels that match that are pink with a crown on them.    These would have been perfect for Her Royal Highness that lives in our house!

Socks4Life $20 Gift Card Giveaway!

Does the sock eating monster visit your house?   It does ours.    I have a bag I keep all our mismatched socks in that I occasionally go through to hopefully find mates.    With four "big" people in our home, I'm constantly on the lookout for socks that are economical, comfortable, yet also fashionable.   I was happy to be introduced to the online shop Socks4Life.  

I received 3 pairs of men's "diabetic" quarter socks to try.  I was mainly interested in these for my older brother who is ALWAYS on the lookout for men's socks that are loose in the calf.    He and I have both looked in stores and online and never found any that fit the bill.   I can't wait to show him these.   I had my husband try on one pair and he said they are VERY comfortable.   The foot part of the sock is normal, but the upper part on the calf is loosely woven and less tight on the calf than traditional socks.   These also come in other colors and lengths.

I was also sent a three pack of women's socks to try.  I selected the women's bamboo socks and I'm happy I did!    These are SO cute and comfortable.   My daughter was home from college when they came and quickly pounced on these.    She said they were so soft and very breathable (yes, she really said breathable) but sadly they never made it to my feet.   These come in many different color combos that all include one striped sock and two solids. 





The site has a wide variety of socks to choose from and includes socks for the little munchkins and athletic socks too.   If the man in your life is fashion challenged, you might also have him read the page called, Choosing the Correct Color of Dress Socks.


WIN IT!!!   
Luckily the lovely Terryl from Socks4Life has offered to give one of my readers an online gift certificate for $20.   With their reasonable prices, that should get you several packages of socks for you and your family!

Skintactix Acne Treatment Review and GIveaway

I have two teens who both suffer acne off and on.    My teen son in particular had horrible acne during football season on his forehead and the sides of his face, probably aggravated by his football helmet.   No matter what we tried or how often he cleaned and treated it, it just didn't seem to improve.   I know it was frustrating and embarrassing for him as he's in his girl obsessed phase and couldn't exactly charm the "sexy" ladies with glaring red bumps on his forehead.

So when I was offered the chance to try Skintactix products for acne I jumped at the opportunity.    I wasn't too sure what to expect and honestly didn't have particularly high hopes.    After all, we'd tried lots of things already and this was a product I'd never even heard of.  But I wanted my son to try the "Clean Skin Challenge".

The site allows you to pick and choose from the various products by helping you diagnose what particular kind of acne or skin irritation you have as well as how oily your skin is.    It was fairly easy to eliminate those that didn't seem to apply to my son by the pictures and descriptions.    So I requested the appropriate material which arrived quickly.

We tried Acne Kit A1:

For Normal, Combination or Oily Skin (Antibacterial Cleanser, Glycolic Exfoliator, Green Tea Poultice)

The enclosed materials said that the acne could get worse for the first two weeks which made my son hesitant to try it.    The last thing he wanted was worse skin!    But being a trooper he started the program by doing the three steps each morning and night.  

And WOW...IS...All...I...CAN...SAY!   It really worked.    Seriously!    I wouldn't lie to you.    His skin personally never got worse.    Just one night I looked at him and said "I can't believe how good your skin looks".    The miraculous thing is that he had many reddened areas on his forehead where acne had been but was no longer there.    If you rubbed them they were smooth and weren't currently inflamed, but the skin had remained red even after the zits were gone.    But those are now almost completely gone too!   I certainly wasn't expecting that.

I wish my son had let me do before and after photos as you wouldn't believe the difference a few weeks could make.    But I can't really blame him for not wanting his mother to post photos of his nasty bumps and red spots all over the internet for people to see.

Now for the good news!   Skintactix is letting me give away a free sample kit of their products to one lucky winner.    It may not be exactly like the one shown here as they will individualize it for you own skin type and problem.  I assume it will be like the one I received which is at least a month's supply and certainly long enough for you to see results.





MANDATORY ENTRY:
Go to Skintactix and find out what skin problem you have and then tell me what kind of kit you'd want from the ones on this list.    You'll have to do that anyway if you win so they can individualize the kit to you.
