ScentSationals Warmer & Wax Review and Give-Away!!!

I was delighted when I heard ScentSationals wanted me to review a warmer and wax.  I got to pick a warmer and I chose the Antique Greek as I loved the pottery look and felt it would go well with my decor.  I picked three wax scents and chose, No Place Like Home,  Black Raspberry Vanilla and Vanilla Bean.   My warmer and wax arrived shortly after and I absolutely love the design of the warmer.  It definitely has that pottery feel and look I love.

The warmer uses an included 25 watt light bulb to heat the wax and that really appealed to me because with little ones around, candles can be dangerous.

The top of the warmer has a well for holding the wax cubes as they melt.   The top is very nicely glazed so when you pour out the wax all you need is to wipe it with a paper towel and it is clean and ready for the next use

.

The warmer has a nice length of cord that allows you options in placement.  The cord also has a switch to turn the warmer on and off without having to unplug it.  I set it up in my kitchen and the first scent of wax I chose to use was the “No Place Like Home.”  You simply break off 1 wax cube and put it in the warmer and turn it on.  In no time the wax starts to melt and release a fabulous aroma that filled my whole house.  I loved the smell of the “No Place Like Home” the comforting essence of sweet cinnamon, warm clove and fresh nutmeg accented with subtle nuances of fresh basil and eucalyptus filled my home with a pleasing aroma that made me feel comfortable and cozy.  I went out for a walk and upon coming home it was the first thing I smelled when I opened the door and it made me smile.

 

The great thing is the fragrance lasts and the instructions tell you if you put it on for an hour in the morning and an hour at night, that your home will have lasting scent.  This is true but I love mine so much, I keep it on even longer.  When you are ready to shut it off you simply pour the wax back in the tray and it will harden and you can use it again until you feel it does not have scent left.  The next day I tried the ” Vanilla Bean” and that had a wonderful aroma that just made my home smell so pleasing to us all.  The following day I tried the “Black Raspberry Vanilla” and loved that too.  I immediately went to www.ScentSationals.com and ordered 4 more scents.  I truly love this warmer and use it everyday.

Take a look at their website and see all the warmer designs and wax scents they have.  I think you will be very impressed.  The price of the products is very affordable and much less then similar companies.

The ScentSationals Company is sponsoring a give-away for my blog readers.  One lucky reader will receive the Antique Greek warmer and the three scents of wax I mentioned above.  All you have to do is visit the www.ScentSationals.com page and tell me a product you would like to try then leave the comment on my Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mommy-Ramblings/142284565832382).  You can get a second entry if you like ScentSationals on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ScentSationalsWicklessCandles?sk=app_4949752878) and comment on my Mommy Rambling’s Facebook page that you liked them.  You can get a third entry if you share this give-away as your Facebook status and comment with the link to your page on my Mommy Rambling’s Facebook page.

If you have given up Facebook for lent you can leave your comment here and it will get you an entry in the give-away.  Give-away ends March 26th at 12 am EST.   Good luck everyone!!!

The company has so graciously allowed me to give-away a copy of this book ($24.95 value), that the winner will personalize for the child they intend to give it to.  If you would like to be entered in the random drawing for this book, please comment on the Mommy Ramblings  Facebook Page (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mommy-Ramblings/142284565832382?ref=ts) on who you would personalize this book for, if you win.   Please visit the I See Me! website at http://www.iseeme.com/.  Give-away will end at 12am Saturday March 19th, EST.  If you share the give-away on your Facebook page you can gain another entry in the contest, just post the link to your page showing that you shared.  They have so many great titles and I can vouch for the superior quality of these books.   Along with the books they offer personalized floor puzzles and gift sets.

Sage Smart Culinary Surfaces Review & Give-Away!!!

Sage Smart Culinary Surfaces sent me a nice assortment of products for me to review and some for me to give-away to a few lucky blog readers.  The products I am reviewing are, the 12″ by 18″ Non-Skid Chop Board, and the 6″ by 10.5″ Bar Board.  Sage is the professional choice in durable food prep surfaces.  Sage culinary surfaces are the essential work platform of professional kitchens.  Extremely durable & dishwasher safe, Sage surfaces offer the character and performance of wood.  They come with a lifetime guarantee so you know you can count on the quality.   Sage Woodfiber Laminate is enviornmentally friendly, made from FSC Certified wood pulp.

These boards are American made, knife friendly, dishwasher safe and heat resistant.   The Chop Board is a great size for so many prep tasks.  I love the four non-skid feet on the bottom which keeps the board very secure.  The fact that I can just pop them in the dishwasher and sanitize them really appeals to the germophobe in me, especially after using it for poultry.  The bar boards are so convienant to grab for small tasks.  The little leaf cut out handles are handy for holding or hanging.

I really like that the surface will not dull my knives and yet is dense enough to not allow deep slice marks that can harbor bacteria.  I am very impressed that Sage Culinary Surfaces will last at least twice as long as wood, bamboo, cork, or plastic boards.  Please take a look at their website to read more about this great company and all their products at http://www.sagesurface.com.

Now for the giveaway, we are going to give away 1 Non-Skid 12″ by 18″ Chop Board and 2 of the 6″ by 10.5″ Bar Boards.  So we will have three winners.  Same rules apply as our other give-aways, you must subscribe to the blog at www.carly67.wordpress.com, and like the Facebook Fan Page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mommy-Ramblings/142284565832382.  Then get your friends to go on the Facebook Fan Page and say you sent them.  The person with the most referrals will win the Chop Board, the second in referrals will win a Bar Board as well as the third.  Good luck everyone, you will love these boards.  I do!!!  I will end the contest on Monday at 12am EST.

 

The clear rubber feet on the bottom of the chop board keep the board from slipping.

Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract Review & Give-away!!!

I was so excited when asked to review this Nielsen-Massey Vanilla.  Excited, because this is a product I use and love.  I remember our first bottle had to be purchased through Chefs Catalog but now it is available at Wegmans.  We use this in so many of our recipes and love the flavor.  We use it in our ice cream that we make, all of our baking and we especially love the flavor it adds to our belgian waffles.  If you have never tried it, then you are in for a treat.  Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, Inc. has an exclusive cold process method that extracts the essence from selected vanilla pods, the finest available, producing rich and delicious flavor that is unsurpassed.  Nielsen-Massey Vanillas is proud to announce that its Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Bean Paste was a 2010 Silver finalist for the NASFT Sofi Awards in the “Baked goods, baking ingredient or cereal” category.  Take a look at their website for more information at www.NielsenMassey.com.

Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla

The world’s finest and most consistent vanilla comes from Madagascar. Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla from Nielsen-Massey has a creamy, sweet, velvety flavor that is perfectly suited for a range of products from baked goods to ice creams, salad dressings to barbeque sauces. Madagascar Bourbon vanilla does not have anything to do with the American whiskey of the same name, but is rather named for the Bourbon Islands off the coast of Africa. Madagascar supplies more than 60% of the world’s vanilla.


Give-away rules:

The Nielsen-Massey Vanillas, Inc.  is being gracious enough to let one of my readers try this vanilla by sending out a  2 ounce bottle of this great vanilla to the winner.  To be eligible for the give-away you MUST subscribe to my blog, LIKE my blog Facebook Fan Page http://www.facebook.com/pages/Mommy-Ramblings/142284565832382, and send as many friends over to my Facebook Fan Page to post a comment that “you” sent them.  The person with the most referrals by this Thursday night 12am will be the lucky winner.  Good luck everyone and thank you Nielsen-Massey!!!

Spring Is Coming!!!

I can totally feel it!  Everyday I hear of birds that are back in town and about the Easter candy being out at Wal-Mart.  The temperatures are getting higher and we are supposed to be near 60 on Friday!!!   I am planning on walking outside instead of on my treadmill.  The other thing that makes me know spring is coming, is we just signed Ethan up for T-ball.  We have literally been waiting for years, (I know he is not even 4 yet) but this child was ready pretty much out of the womb.  Last night, Jimi took him to a basketball game at the school. Afterward, Ethan was playing, dribbling, and shooting while Jimi was talking to a friend, who also coaches a basketball program for kindergarten and 1st graders.  The friend said he has not one 5-7 year old who can handle the ball the way Ethan does.  So being able to finally play a sport, is very big here.  T-ball is the first and then he will be eligible for soccer in the fall.  Anyway, just thinking to warm evenings at the ball field watching the little ones embark on their first season of T-ball can even make a skeptic smell spring in the air.  Oh, and I got my latest issue of Martha Stewart Living and the cover stated it was time to start planting.   Which reminds me, the last time I was at the store, all the peat pots and seeds were making their debut.   Believe me I am just planning my  vegetable garden in my head and cannot wait to see how my perennials will look this spring.

What have you seen that tells you spring is near?   I would love to hear.  Hope everyone is doing well and remember we have our give-away for the Gourmac cookie stamps ending soon so be sure to get yourself in it.
