I was so lucky to be able to work with Enjoy and try out their Luxury Haircare line. I love their products and used this stuff to the last drop It has taken me a while to get to the review because I have been enjoying the heck out of these products. They lather up and really do give you a luxurious experience while you are in the shower. The shampoo gives an amazing lather and I know you all know what a hair mask is….well that is the texture of the conditioner. It is awesome! I was sad when my HBL hair mask was gone but this is crazy to have that in a conditioner that comes in a bottle. The straightener is also amazing. I have frizzy hair when the air gets humid and so this product was perfect for me. I can now style my hair with ease.

Newman's Own Giveaway!!

 

So Friday I talked about Newman’s Own Organic.  You can read about that HERE

Please remember while reading this that while I was given these products free from Newman’s Own Organics, I wasn’t asked to give a dishonest opinion or a favorable one at all. While I loved most of the products that was sent to me, my taste my be different then yours.  This is my opinions.

Let me tell you what happened since then.  Saturday I had some people over for a House Party.  I decided to put some Newton’s Own Cookies out.  So I put out Fig NEWMAN’S and some chocolate with peanut butter in the center.  They were a hit!

 

I admit I really loved the fig Newman’s more then the chocolate with peanut butter.  While both was great the fig Newman’s went faster.  In fact my husband kept finding reasons to slip into the party to steal a couple. I told him afterwards if I had realized they were that good, I would’ve put a different type out.  HaHa just joking!  I know I can and will pick some more of these up next time I go to the store. 

Since I am watching what I am eating (I watch every bite I take)  These are safe snacking foods.  The ones I had were Low Fat but they come in 3 types:

1. Low Fat
2. Fat Free
3. wheat free/dairy free

Now I would like to share with my my 4 favorite items out of what was sent to me.  I will announce my favorites and then will come the rafflecopter so you can enter to win 4 full sized items from Newman’s Own!  Here they are:

 

1. Milk Chocolate Chocolate Bar
2. Caramel Cups
3. Fig Newman’s
4. Salted Round Pretzels

Please enter the RaffleCopter below to win your own Full sized items!
