Step into Summer – Red Baron Pan Pizza & Pasta Review and Prize Pack Giveaway {CLOSED}

Welcome to our Step into Summer event! Jennifer and I have some wonderful things lined up for you to help you get ready for summer. Make sure you visit Jennifer at Eighty MPH Mom daily to see what she has in store for you too. Many days we will be reviewing and giving away the same item on both blogs – that is two chances for you to win!

I am a pizza fanatic. I would totally live on pizza if I could. In fact, pizza was my diet of choice while pregnant with my first son. Almost anything else just would not agree with me. Maybe that’s why he loves pizza so much too, ya think?

Now Red Baron is a name that I’ve been familiar with for years. In fact, when I was a child the 4-Cheese Pizza from red Baron is the only kind of frozen pizza I would eat! I’ve since broadened my horizons, but am still quite picky when it comes to frozen pizzas.

Now Red Baron has added even more to their menu and offer pan pizza and pan pasta. I had the chance to try each and let me tell you the pan pizza is delish! I tried the RED BARON MEAT-TRIO PAN PIZZA and it tasted pretty darn good, one of the best frozen pizzas I’ve tried.

I also tried the RED BARON Rotini with Meat Sauce Pan Pasta and that was pretty good too. I made both the pizza and pasta for dinner one night. I thought the pizza was the best and the Man thought the pasta was the best. So there you go, a different perspective from each of us! It was definitely a great meal combination. And talk about easy! These are great ideas for a quick and easy meal when you don’t have time or just don’t feel like cooking!

The Giveaway

Three lucky ducks will win a Red Baron insulated lunch tote with pasta serving spoon and pizza cutter as shown above.

To enter the giveaway head over to Red Baron and tell me which pizza or past you’d like to try {besides the ones I mentioned}. This step must be done before you can qualify for extra entries.

Step into Summer – Veronica M Dolman Top Review and Item Up to $100 Giveaway {CLOSED}

Blog· Giveaways· Review

In 1996, Veronica started making mini skirts out of her mom’s garage and selling them at the Fairfax swap meet. Soon after, there was a buzz about these super affordable and amazing fitting skirts. The demand for more variety grew and Veronica decided to open her very own store. The first store, Scala, opened in 1997 on La Brea Blvd.

Shortly after Scala opened, she was getting calls from local boutique owners and private label chains wanting ?Veronica M?. This began her wholesale division which is still growing on daily basis today.

What girl doesn’t love clothes? Definitely not this one! I am constantly changing things up and switching out items for each season. I recently stumbled upon Veronica M and found so many amazing styles that are just perfect for summer and the upcoming fall season!

For my review, I chose the Dolman Top in Taupe. I just adore the style, comfort and versatility. You can wear in off the shoulders {as shown} or on the shoulders in which it falls more of a v-neck shape.

Isn’t the back shot just adorable!? I absolutely love it. The Dolman Top is one of my favorite shirts at the moment and I’ve gotten quite a few compliments on it. The fabric is just oh so soft and feels great against my skin.

The Dolman Top is a boatneck top with dolman styles sleeves. Slim fitted banded bottom. Blouson fit.

What I really like about this short is that it can be dressed up or down, depending on what you’re doing or where you’re going. I really like how it can show off your neck and back as well if you wear it that way.

Veronica M is full of stylish clothes that look just gorgeous. I have quite a few different things on my wish list!

Buy It!

You can buy the Dolman Top for $52 and it’s available in many different colors.

The Giveaway

One lucky duck will win an item of their choice under $100 from Veronica M.

Step into Summer – YouFloral mauve-o-lous! Bouquet Review

Blog· Review

Of course flowers are an awesome gift. What girl doesn’t like to receive flowers? I sure can’t think of any! It’s not always the flowers that get us though. It’s the thought behind the flowers. Well, YouFloral has even more “thought” behind their flowers because they create these beautiful, precious and sentimental vases with their bouquets that you can treasure long after those flowers are dead.

I am a sentimental sap at heart. It’s just something I was born with I guess, and so many things in life really do have special meaning to me. So you can imagine my excitement when YouFloral agreed to be part of the Step into Summer event. I was ecstatic!

I am really into quotes and sayings and there are a few that I just really love. You never know when it’s going to be the end for any relationship… through death, moving or whatever the reason may be. Nothing really does last forever. So this saying I got on my vase “Treasure the moments, for each one is a gift is kind of something I try to live by. Each and every moment of our lives truly is a gift. But it’s also something that so many people take for granted every single day. I am guilty of this too at times, but I try not to be.

Now the image in that vase is my kids in the lake a few years ago while we were camping. You can just see how much fun they’re having trampling through the water. That moment, at that lake, truly was a gift. Going through that album, I was almost in tears because it brought back so many memories. I will have to share that album with you all one of these days. it’s precious!

Anyway, I think the background and the picture go hand in hand. It was so easy to create the vase. It’s a simple step by step process. There are different themes to choose from like birthday, congratulations and many more. I chose “Inspirational” and came up with the page to the right.

Then you click on the background you like and choose from 3 options; Photo and Message, Message Only and Photo Only. The you simply upload your photo and/or choose your message, then pick your flowers. It really is an easy and fun process! I chose the mauve-o-lous! bouquet and this is what it looked like in the end.

Now this photo does not do these flowers justice one bit. The lilies were all closed when they arrived, so it makes it look bare. Within a day or two they were opened up and the bouquet was just gorgeous. And talk about long lasting… these flowers lasted for about 2 weeks! I couldn’t believe it! I was so amazed and oh so happy because I got to show off that gorgeous bouquet and vase to everyone that stopped by!

This photo on the left is pretty much what the bouquet looked like after the rest of the flowers bloomed. It was just absolutely breathtaking and I couldn’t help but smile every time I walked past it and looked at that vase! I am absolutely smitten with it. I will definitely use it again…. if the Man ever buys me some flowers! He thinks the ones in my garden count.. {shakes head} clueless!

Buy It!

You can buy the mauve-o-lous! bouquet for $39.99 and add a regular glass vase for $9.99 or a vase expression for $14.99. I seriously recommend the vase expression because it adds a whole new experience and touch to the gift. It gives them something to hang on to and treasure forever! That’s really what makes YouFloral unique from other floral companies. It’s a truly personal experience!

Step into Summer – Barhyte Specialty Foods Saucy Mama Prize Pack Review & Giveaway – 2 Winners! {CLOSED}

Blog· Giveaways· Review

“Inventiveness like Mom’s is a family heritage. Way back in the eighteenth century, Jacobus Barhyte, a Southern German immigrant and pioneer settler of Yaddo, ? now known as Saratoga Springs, New York ? created our original Sweet ?n Sour Mustard Sauce. This original recipe was passed down through the generations and even traveled west over the Oregon Trail. Back then, Jacobus’s name was spelled ?Barheyt,? but when he enlisted in the American Forces for the Saratoga Campaign of 1777, General Gates’s secretary recorded the name as ?Barhyte.? Patriotic pride has kept us using that spelling ever since.”

We love to cook and try new recipes around here. It’s fun to spice {pun intended} it up a bit and cook or serve things differently from time to time.

One of our favorite things to try is marinades. There are so many different ones on the market, for all different types of meat. Well we were recently able to try a few of the Saucy Mama marinades from Barhyte Specialty Foods. I used the Saucy Mama’s Cracked Pepper Marinade on our steaks last week and they turned out absolutely delicious! I’m not one to use steak sauce, so whatever I do put on my steaks must reap the flavor. I’m happy to say that this marinade definitely did the job well!

Lil Man is a hot wing nut ball. This kid could probably live on hot wings if I’d let him! My mom used to make him homemade hot wings all the time. Now that she’s not around much, I’ve been learning how to make them. I used the Saucy Mama’s Hot Wing Sauce the last time I made them and everyone raved over them. He told me they were the best hot wings I’ve ever made for him!

Barhyte Specialty Foods carries much more than just wing sauce and marinades though. They have mustard, stuffed olives, dressings and so much more. They even sell gift baskets. They also have a bunch of easy recipes posted on their website.

The Giveaway

Two lucky ducks will win a Prize Pack full of marinades, wing sauce and mustard from Saucy Mama!

To enter the giveaway head over to Barhyte Specialty Foods and tell me what you’d like to try the most. This step must be done before you can qualify for extra entries.

For my review, I chose A Whiff of Hope – Eau de Parfum Roll-On. The description sounded just like my kind of scent.

“Cool citrus notes beckon the floral heart of this dazzling fragrance. Subtle hints of exotic fruits add a bit of playfulness, while light musk provides depth and harmony to the scent.”

As soon as my package came, I immediately tried the perfume. Once it blended into my skin with my body chemistry, it smelled wonderful and invigorating. I absolutely love the scent on me. It’s like it was made just for me!

I also received samples of the other fragrances in my package. A Whiff of Hope is definitely my favorite scent, but A Whiff of Joy is a very close second. I was able to try a small sample of A Whiff of Hope Body Cream too and I just loved how soft and silky it made my skin.

Buy It!
