Happy Friday everybody! It's a gorgeous sunny breezy 90 degree day here in southern Nevada. I'm enjoying some strawberries and cream cheese mixture (recipe found on my last blog post about Just Jan's) and overall having a pretty amazing day. The little one is down for a nap so I decided to take this time to tell you about this amazing product that I just tried courtesy of Crowdtap.

  Through Crowdtap I am able to sample several products in exchange for my honest review! The product that I am going to tell you about today is Extraording Oil Shampoo, Conditioner, and Serum by Loreal Paris. This is a completely new product to me and I am happy to report that I absolutely LOVE IT! My hair is so soft, sleek and shiny! I want to add that normally I use Head & Shoulders to keep my hair smelling fresh because normal shampoos don't do the trick, however after using this I can honestly say that my hair/scalp had a fresh scent to it all day!

It was so easy to use. I just shampooed and conditioned my hair like normal and then added the serum to my wet hair and used a hair dryer and brush. I didn't style my hair or use any other products. My hair has never been softer or shinier! The best part is that it lasted ALL DAY!

As you can see in my unedited photos above, my hair appears to be healthy and sleek. I am so thankful that I got the chance through Crowdtap to review these Loreal Paris products for free. 

All products can be found in most stores. I know I have seen them in Target and are priced around $3.99 - $5.99 each! Such a deal to get healthy sleek hair! 



Just Jan's Jamboree

This last weekend I was given a chance to throw a party sponsored by Just Jan's and Tryazon. It was the perfect opportunity for me because we were already throwing a party for my daughter's 2nd birthday (as you can tell by the minion decor). Just Jan's is a company that specializes in healthier jams and spreads. They are all natural, contain no preservatives, and have 14% less sugar than typical jams and jellies found in your local grocery store. Tryazon is a great company that partners with several brands and gives YOU the opportunity to try new products for free in exchange for you to hold a party and spread the word!!

 For my party I was given 4 full size jars and a pack of 6 of Just Jan's spreads, as well as a quality kitchen apron. Since it was a child's birthday party we decided to keep things simple, but definitely did not disappoint. I made a Strawberry tart which the recipe was included in my party pack. It was super easy to make. Just prepare a puff pastry (I used Pepperidge Farms). Simply allow the pastry to thaw and once it's easily unfolded then roll it out to about 10"X11". Then you wet the edges with water and fold over to form a lip. After that, dock the pastry with a fork (Just poke it everywhere with the fork) and then brush on an egg wash and finish with a dusting of sugar (about 2tbsp). Then cook it for 15 minutes at 425F or until golden brown. While it's cooking mix together 8oz cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1/3 cup Just Jan's Meyer Lemon curd. You will spread that mixture on top of the puff pastry once it has cooled completely. And finally top with sliced fruit of your choice. I chose strawberries! When you're about to serve, drizzle with a warmed Just Jan's sauce of your choice! Easy and delicious. I also made a bit of extra cream cheese lemon mixture just to dip strawberries in. It's sooooo good!

All of my guests had a great time and they can't wait to buy some Just Jan's and make some great goodies themselves. Seriously, this stuff is so delicious.  I sent all guests home with a sample and recipe, as well as the website so they know there they can get their own goodies! 

I would also like to leave you with the website where you can find several recipe ideas! http://www.justjans.com/blogs/recipes
