Carmex Kit Review and Giveaway!



Hey Neighbors!

Here is a really great gift basket idea!  I was chosen as one of the Carmex Blog Squad, and received the really nicest kit.  The featured product of the kit is their new Carmex Healing Lotion and the Carmex Healing Cream.  I really have to tell you this is something I have needed recently.  We took a trip out west and I returned with the dryest skin and lips.  My hands were feeling rough and my lips were chapped.  What a great time to receive this kit for review.  Obviously to make up the gift basket you would have to buy your own make-up bag, because you only get one of these if you win the giveaway.  Isn't it a neat idea though!  Especially with winter weather coming on. 

I really like the Healing Lotion (Aloe and Vitamin E) and the Healing Cream (9 Healing Ingredients).  I have been using both.  The Healing Cream is my favorite, but both are great.  They go on nice and are non-greasy.  Your hands will feel softer after one application, mine did.  The fragrance is nice too.  It is not overpowering and is very pleasant.  You can find these products at Walgreens.  The retail price is $5.99.

Here is what the Carmex kit contained:
1.  4 oz. Healing Cream
2.  5.5 oz Healing Lotion
3.  Moisture Plus Lip Balm (Sheer Peach Tint, Sheer Pink Tint, Clear Semi-Gloss)
4.  1 oz Healing Lotion
5.  Carmex Original in a jar (Cold Sore)
6.  Carmex Cherry Lip Balm (Jar)
7.  3 Lip Balm Sticks (Original, Cherry, Strawberry)
8.  3 Lip Balm in Tube (Original, Cherry, Strawberry)


They all came in the nicest Make-up Bag.  It has a mirror that velcros on, several zippered pockets, a nice hook at the top for hanging up your bag, two small clear zippered bags and a nice black bow.  This is really a nice kit!  I am definitely recommending this one to my neighbors.

You can follow Carmex on Facebook and Twitter where you will be able to win products.  You need to check out their page on the ingredients in their Lip Balm.

About Carmex:

armex® lip balm was invented in 1937 by Alfred Woelbing, literally on the family stovetop. For the next 20
years, Alfred and his wife made Carmex by hand and poured it into the familiar yellow-capped jars.
Eventually production moved out of the Woelbing home and into a rented facility in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, where it remained until the move in 1975 to its current site in Franklin, Wisconsin.
Carma Labs employs about 100 people and is still owned and operated by the family: Alfred's grandsons Erik and Paul Woelbing. The Woelbing stove is now used for cooking things the family can actually eat."


Carmex is going to give the winner of this giveaway a kit just like mine!  Trust me you will love it!

First, I had no idea Carmex was produced in my state, less than 2 hours away. I found this info:

"Tempting as it is, don’t lick your lips when they’re dry—it just makes them more chapped
Allergic reactions can cause chapped lips
Lips are more easily prone to chapping if your entire body is dehydrated"

I didnt know allergies can cause chapped lips AND I didnt know menthol kills bacteria/germs!

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child.  Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First  TV.  Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age.  And it works!  Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life.  Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words.  Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing.  There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along.  The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish.  Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer.  Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.

 Hey neighbors, its with a heavy heart I let you all know that my mom (Lori) unexpectedly passed away the end of June. Our family has been taking the time between now and then to be together and remember what a light mom was. I came on towards the end of last year and was planning on fully moving my interviews and review to this website. I intend to to so partially to keep mommas beautiful website going. Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years. ~Mercy
