Nuance Salma Hayek Girl’s Day In!

by Nicole on May 20, 2013

 I was approached by CVS to host a Girl’s Night In Party but when I explained to them that I work for a non-profit with a group of wonderful (but overworked!) women who would love to get pampered during their lunch breaks they were on board! I hosted 14 women for a fabulous Girl’s Lunch In party on Friday, May 17, 2013 where I work! Many of you know I work for a non-profit and we represent indigent clients in our local area in their civil cases.  We all love what we do but we won’t get rich doing it that’s for sure! I knew my co-workers would love some pampering!

Co-developed by actress Salma Hayek and CVS/pharmacy, Nuance Salma Hayek is a full beauty line offering high-quality products designed to enhance every woman’s individual beauty, at a price that she can afford. The comprehensive collection of more than 100 products within four categories – skincare, cosmetics, haircare and body – is available only at CVS/pharmacy locations nationwide and on cvs.com/nuancesalmahayek.

The first complete beauty line developed by an actress in partnership with a national retailer, Nuance Salma Hayek was inspired by Hayek’s grandmother, a cosmetologist who developed her own homemade beauty remedies. An embodiment of her rich family heritage, the products in the Nuance Salma Hayek line represent the fusion of advanced, proprietary formulations and personal beauty rituals passed down from generations. Each product in the line was inspired by Hayek’s own beauty rituals as well as her extensive global travels. Many ingredients, such as tepezcohuite, blue agave, prickly pear and lime enzyme, are being used in exclusive beauty formulas available to the mass market for the first time. Hayek rigorously tested every product in the line, partnering with formulators to ensure the highest standards and results.

None of them were familiar with the Nuance Salma Hayek line prior to the party.  The awesome folks at CVS sent each one of them a goodie bag stuffed with full-sized products for them to try! They also sent 2 $50 CS giftcards for me to raffle off! The winners were Pam and Amy and boy were they excited! I set the table in pink and green (Nicole’s Nickels colors!) and set the goodie bags on the chairs.  They also sent me a ton of the products for us to try at the party along with supplies like cotton balls and nail polish remover.

I set up several products in front of each chair and we went around the table opening them, testing them and I had more information such as price and ingredients that I added in as well.  The women had a great time trying out the products and the face serums and creams seemed to be the most popular along with the lip trio! The lip trio is such a fun product! It’s a shimmery lip gloss on one end, a coordinating lipstick in the middle and a lip liner on the other end.

I had ordered Italian for everyone and we had a great lunch of salad, garlic knots, chicken parmesan, penne with meatballs and stuffed shells! For dessert we had mini cupcakes and cake pops – adorable! The food was delicious but people couldn’t wait to get into their bags and into the items on the table! I heard a lot of positive comments and everyone was happy to hear the products are available exclusively at CVS.  Everyone there shops at CVS but most hadn’t seen the products or realized what the line was all about and all thanked me for letting them know more about it!

Favorites among the ladies were the already mentioned lip trio, the eye quad and the nail polish! Everyone loved the shape of the lip and eye quad and loved the combination of colors! We lingered over lunch and everyone left full and very happy to try out all of the great Nuance Salma Hayek products in their goodie bags!

This post and the party I hosted were sponsored by CVS.  All opinions are my own.

Expanded Offerings from Sears

by izea on May 20, 2013

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sears for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I did not know that the Sears website had such expanded offerings! You know how frustrating it is to find something you love only to find out they don't have the color or size you want? That won't happen on the Sears website! You'll find a HUGE selection of everything you are looking for!

And if you can't wait to have the item shipped to you, you can pick up the item at your local Sears store.  They guarantee to have your item ready in 5 minutes or you get a $5 coupon! This is a great guarantee and how easy is it to pick up what you love and have it at the store already waiting for you!

The Sears website also carries the newest arrivals  of all of your favorite brands, including ones they don't sell at the store!

I was able to find this awesome Michael Kors watch on the Sears website – and at a discount! They have an awesome selection of luxury brands I had no idea Sears carried!

Check out these Ray Ban sunglasses! Also offered at a discount on the Sears website and not your typical Sears brand!

I was amazed to find these adorable Tory Burch shoes! There are some great  featured marketplace offers  that give you great value on luxury brands as well as the items you can find at your local Sears store but in expanded size and color offerings!

Sears is very committed to offering their shoppers the highest level of value and convenience.  Adding more styles, sizes and colors to their website helps them maximize customer satisfaction and offer a ton of choices! Not to mention the fun luxury brands that you can find on there as well.

Sweet and Delicious Driscoll’s Berries

by Nicole on May 20, 2013

I love the taste of fresh berries in the summer! When I was young and went to day camp we picked wild raspberries in the woods near the camp and I remember eating so many of them right from the vine – so yummy! I frequently buy raspberries, strawberries and blueberries especially in the summer when the prices are more reasonable and love to have a simple dish of berries for dessert or make something more elaborate using the berries!

Family owned for over 100 years, Driscoll’s is passionate about growing premium fresh berries. Our strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and organic berries are sweet, juicy and naturally wholesome. Packed with antioxidants, fiber and vitamins, they’re a healthy treat for any time of the day. Driscoll’s offers exclusive berry recipes, including healthy berry recipes, for all your menu needs. Trust Driscoll’s to provide the highest quality and best tasting fresh berries.

My family loves berries and the Driscoll’s site has a HUGE selection of delicious sounding recipes! I loved looking through them to pick out something delicious! I wanted to use the berries to make a main course since I think it’s a different way to use the berries than for dessert.  I made these sweet and spicy raspberry wings - the picture is from Driscoll’s (theirs came out prettier than mine did!).  The recipe was easy and these wings were really good – everyone scarfed them down in my house right away and asked for seconds!

Sweet and Spicy Raspberry Wings

Sweet and Spicy Raspberry Wings

Ingredients

  • Raspberry Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1/2 cup minced yellow onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 packages (6 ounces or 1 1/3 cups each) Driscoll's Raspberries
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoons light molasses
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 tablespoons tomato ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce
  • Chicken Wingettes
  • Vegetable oil spray for the baking sheet
  • 4 pounds chicken wingettes
  • 2 tablespoons chili or Madras-style curry powder
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Raspberry Sauce
  2. Heat the oil in heavy-bottomed, medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until golden, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the raspberries, brown sugar, molasses, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ketchup, mustard and hot red pepper sauce and bring to a simmer. Note: for a less spicy sauce reduce amount of hot red pepper sauce to 1/4 teaspoon. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer, stirring often, until the raspberries are soft and the juices are slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a blender. With the blender lid ajar, puree the raspberry mixture. Separate into two portions and let cool. Reserve one portion for the glaze and one for dipping later.
  3. Chicken Wingettes
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with the oil.
  5. Pat the chicken wingettes dry with a paper towel then toss them in chili powder, and salt together in a large bowl. Spread on the baking sheet. Roast, turning once, until the wings are browned and show no sign of pink when pieced at the bone with the tip of a knife, about 35 minutes. Brush with some of the sauce and roast until glazed, about 2 1/2 minutes. Turn, brush with more sauce, and bake until glazed, about 2 1/2 minutes longer. Transfer remaining sauce to a small serving bowl. Transfer the wings to a platter and serve warm, with remaining sauce for dipping

La Familigia DelGrosso Sauce Giveaway

by Nicole on May 19, 2013

Yummy! I was excited to try these DelGrosso’s sauces! We got a 3 pack of the sauces and I thought my favorite would be the vodka sauce but it was actually the fireworks sauce! I loved the spicy flavor.  These sauces were all very flavorful and rich and seriously tasted like I had spent all day making them instead of opening a jar and heating it up!

Marianna Pulcino immigrated to America in 1911, bringing with her an old-world recipe for pasta sauce. She established Mom’s Cafe on Walton Avenue in Altoona, Pennsylvania where she served up her classic dishes to the delight of hungry patrons. In 1936, Marianna’s daughter Mafalda was waiting tables at the cafe when Ferdinand DelGrosso, a handsome young railroader, walked through the door and sat at her table. They fell in love instantly. “Fred” and “Murf” would later be married, and in 1943 they bought a small restaurant on 17th Street and called it DelGrosso’s Cafe. With the help of Marianna’s original sauce recipe, the restaurant soon became famous for the “best spaghetti dinner in town.”

The idea to commercially manufacture pasta sauce took root when Fred noticed restaurant customers offering to pay extra to take home a small portion of the sauce. Fred immediately saw the potential to market and sell their quality Italian sauces, and in 1946 he sold DelGrosso’s Cafe and bought nearby Bland’s Amusement Park. From the park kitchen, Fred and Murf worked 10-hour days to make one “batch” of five cases, using four 10-gallon pots and a hand sealer, which took 24 revolutions to seal one can. Fred and two long-time friends from Altoona formed a small sales force and gradually increased distribution by “pounding the pavement.” Now in its third generation, DelGrosso Foods has taken its place among the most highly-regarded producers of fine sauces anywhere. It continues as the oldest major family-owned manufacturer of pasta sauce in the United States. It is through tireless effort, continued commitment, and the closest attention to detail from family members at every level that DelGrosso remains “The Finest Sauce Made.”

Enter the Giveaway!

You can win a giftpack of 3 of La Familigia DelGrosso’s sauces! Please enter the giveaway on the widget below.  Email and feed subscribers will need to click over to my actual site to enter.

I received the same prize as the winner.  All opinions remain my own.

Nutrisystem Week 24 Nicole, Week 21 Jamie

by Nicole on May 19, 2013

 

Nicole’s post:

I am so excited to announce that I am a Nutrisystem Nation Blogger!

Nicole’s weight loss this week: lost .9 lbs.

Nicole’s Total weight loss since start of program: 27.8 lbs.

This week I concentrated on water.  It is so critical for me when losing weight or trying to lose weight to consume a huge quantity of water.  I feel better physically and always have a lot of energy when I drink a lot of water.  I have started bringing a huge bottle of water to work with me and carrying it wherever I go.  I am able to get in at least 64 oz daily when I do this and I found that I actually prefer room temperature water over really cold water!

I have also started keeping fresh veggies in the office.  I really like the grape tomatoes and can eat them like candy! I like them with a little salt which I am sure isn’t great for me but it really enhances the flavor of the tomatoes.  I also enjoy fresh sugar snap peas which I had never had raw before I started Nutrisystem.  I love the crunch and the flavor! It is amazing how much better I feel when I stay on the program 100%, I just know how good it is for me based on how it makes me feel!

*******************************************************************************************************

Jamie’s this Week’s weight loss: lost 1.2 lbs.

Jamie’s Weight Loss: 37.6lbs

Holding steady here! Nicole brings a water bottle to work and fills it up and I usually bring a gallon of water to work and just drink from the container.  The kitchen where I work has been VERY hot these past few weeks and so I have been drinking probably 2 full gallons during the day which has been helping with the weight loss for sure.

This week I have been showing Nicole how the presentation of your food is so important.  For instance if I eat the Nutrisystem entree out of the container it feels small to me even if I have a huge salad on the side.  This week we started removing the entree from the container and plating it, adding veggies and then a salad as well.  The portions look bigger this way and I know it helps my psyche think this is a bigger meal and makes me fuller! It’s all about our crazy minds!
