Oasap Handbag and Headband Review


I recently was accepted as a fashion blogger for Oasap. This is a company that delivers on fashionable and trendy items for your wardrobe. I am quite the handbag connoisseur and much to my husband’s chagrin, I keep adding more to my collection. I chose the Contrast Colored Striped Shoulder bag with Plaited strap in a beautiful light blue. Most of my handbags tend to be in neutral colors like black and brown or some variation of these and I decided I wanted to add a little color to the mix and chose this one.  I have to say I was not disappointed! The colors are beautiful together and I absolutely love the colors inside the bag, a vivid swirl of colors in bright orange, blues, yellow and brown. It has a magnetic closure and  is 13 inches across and 9 inches top to bottom. The braided strap has an 11 inch drop and the included, interchangeable, shoulder strap has a drop of 22 inches.  I love that that is comes with two straps as I don’t always feel like carrying a bag on my shoulder.  This bag also comes in a pretty pastel pink. I think this bag looks great with a tee and jeans or dressed up for a night out.





I also received the Sweet Flower Pattern Beading headband.  I love the antique, heirloom look to it.  Once I received it, I realized it was a little young for me, but my 23 year old daughter gladly swiped it and modeled it for me and I think it looks so cute on her.  She has a civilian military job and has to dress up for work everyday.  She gets tired of the same old ponytail or headband in her hair and she just loved this one. The one thing she pointed out was that it was not uncomfortable at all on her head.  She said it did not pull her hair or apply to much pressure.  






I am completely satisfied with both items I received.  (although shipping did take a while) I also browsed through their website and found so many more items I would love to have.  They offer many different products and styles for just about every taste.  Whether you like classic and sophisticated or trendy and unique, you will find something for you here.

NeoCell Blueberry supplement/ Super Collagen Review and Giveaway



Winner has been chosen:  Congrats!  Nina Kimwa.  You have been emailed and have 48 hours to respond! 
Winner Confirmed:  Congrats Nina Kimwa!





Are you looking for a way to get healthier or stay healthier?  I know I am always reading the latest studies and publications on supplements and health.  I know there is a lot of conflicting information out there about supplements and such.  Two that I have been hearing a lot about is supplements made with Blueberry, Hyaluronic Acid(HA) and Collagen.


Collagen and HA are naturally found in the body and are important for healthy skin. Collagen supports healthy bones and joints and for someone who suffers from arthritis, this perked my attention. It also helps with connective tissue such as ligaments and tendons. This is another plus as since I have arthritis and am overweight, I have lost just about all of the cartilage in my knee. ( the padding between the bone and muscle). As I have gotten older, I have noticed a definite change in how my skin looks and feels and although this is normal with aging, I don’t have to accept that.


Neocell is a company that offers both of these products and more. we don’t always realize that if our insides are healthy then our outsides will be too.  I received the Hyaluric Acid Blueberry liquid and the Super Collagen. The company says that people usually start to see results in about 3 weeks if they take as directed.
With the HA you take one tablespoon( 1/2 ounce) once a day. You can take it alone or with juice, water or tea.  I mixed it with juice as the taste was a little strong for me.  The benefits of HA are better lubrication of joints and  eyes and for more supple skin.  

The Super Collagen helps keep nails and hair thicker and stronger, promotes joint health and produces radiant skin.  I have been using these products together as a daily ritual and feel better and have less pain from the arthritis.  I can’t wait to see how much healthier I look and feel in the future.

By using these supplements you can expect…

  • Stronger hair and nails
  • Add body and help stop hair loss
  • Strengthen joints, bones, tendons and ligaments
  • Help replenish the body’s collagen supply
I don’t know about you, but I want to stave off the effects of aging for as long as I can, so I will continue to take these great products, eat better and exercise.  I have a three year old grandson that I intend to see grow and I want to be in the best shape I can be.  You can find NeoCell on Facebook where you can get all the latest information on their products.

The amazing people at NeoCell have offered a giveaway for my readers. 
One Lucky reader will win a bottle of Hyaluric Acid/ Blueberry and a bottle of Super Collagen. Giveaway is open to US residents and all entries will be verified. Winner will have 48 hours to respond or another winner will be chosen.  Giveaway is in no way affiliated with facebook. Odds of winning depend on number of entries.  Good Luck.

EZ Instant Makeover Chalkboard Film Review and Giveaway



Winner confirmed:  Carol Roberts!  Congrats!




I am all about products that are fashionable and make my life easier.  I love to find unique ways to decorate items around the house that can also be functional.  I have tried keeping a dry erase board or notepad on my fridge to keep track of items we need from the store but it always seems to disappear into the clutches of my three year old grandson, never to be seen again.


Ez Instant Makeover Chalkboard film has solved this problem for me.  Their peel and stick Chalkboard film  makes it easy to decorate anything I want with an erasable chalkboard finish.  I am by no means a handy person so I was a bit afraid of a do-it-yourself endeavor.  The film comes packaged in a roll and I removed it and let it lay flat for awhile with heavy objects holding down the corners so that it would not roll up on me too much during installation.  I measured the surface that I chose, which happened to be the inside of a cabinet door for a pantry I have in my kitchen.  I then measured the film and cut.  I do not have a steady hand so I had to trim once it was in place. There is also a wayward screw right in the middle of the surface that I had to kind of inch around.

 I peeled back the backing paper just a little at a time and put the film in place.  As I secured it, I would peel back the paper a little further and then smooth out the film.  I continued to do this until it was completely in place. I used a slightly wet towel to smooth it out and voila! Finished.  Now I can write my shopping list where little hands cannot reach.  


I also tried putting the film over the glass of an old picture I was not using anymore but that one didn’t come out as well.  I don’t know if it was the glass or just me, but I could not get the bubbles out of this one.  It would look really cute if I could. Like I said, I am not a crafty person by nature but I am sure someone who is could create amazing things with this. Another idea I had was to put this up on my grandson’s closet door so he can doodle anytime he wants.  I think it would make a great addition to a dorm room or even in a garage for your honey-do list.

 Ez Instant Makeover offers other products for projects around the house…

  • Faux Granite Contact Paper
  • Nickel EZ Faux Stainless Steel
  • Polished Chrome EZ Faux Steel Film
  • Satin EZ Faux Stainless Steel
  • Zebra Contact Paper
Imagine being able to change the look of your counter tops as often as you paint for a fraction of what it would cost to replace them.  Now you can have an updated look in your kitchen or even your bathroom, anytime you want.  Have you always wanted stainless steel appliances but can’t afford it?  Now you can turn your old appliances into that much sought after stainless steel look.

EZ Instant Makeovers is the brain child of a single mom that looked for cost effective ways of updating her counters and appliances.  These products were launched in 2006 on QVC and took them by storm.
Made of vinyl, they are really easy to clean.  Being self-adhesive makes them easy to apply. You can find installation instructions on their website.

Ez Instant Makeovers is offering a discount to my readers.  You can use coupon code CFSTUFF20 for a 20% discount on all orders.  The coupon will expire on 08/10/12.
You can find EZ Instant Makeover on Twitter and on Facebook where you can keep up on the latest products.  The generous people at EZ Instant Makeover have offered a giveaway for my readers.  One lucky reader will win a roll of the Chalkboard Film for themselves. The giveaway will start 12:01 AM est on July 29th and end at 12 midnight on August 6th.  Imagine the uses you could come up with.  Giveaway is open to US residents and all entries will be verified.  Winner will have 48 hours to respond or another winner will be chosen.  This giveaway is in no way affiliated with facebook or twitter. Couponfreestuff is not responsible for prizes not shipped by sponsor.

Fusion Tea Giveaway


I have joined a great group of bloggers to bring you a Tea-rific ( yeah I know, bad pun) giveaway.  Make sure you enter to win a Brew T Infuser and 2 Fusion Tea blends.   I don’t know about you but I love tea, especially iced tea. What a great prize to take home!

This Review and Giveaway was written by Colleen at My Vegan Gluten Free Life  

Our Beautiful Packaging

I absolutely adore, love, am fond of, fancy, like and have a huge passion for TEA! Get the picture? I like the smell of coffee but can’t stomach the taste. But Tea  is my passion. I had to switch to decaffeinated teas because the caffeine gave me cardiac arrhythmia. . Some oolong teas I can handle and some light green teas as well and thank goodness because their flavors are divine.

Fusion Teas has a fabulous selection of teas…

  • Black Tea
  • Green Tea
  • Oolong
  • Tulsi
  • Rooibos
  • Herbal

I received 4 looseleaf tea variety collections to sample: Acai Berry Blend, Oolong Collection, Super Fruit Sencha Green Tea Collection, Lemon Rose Bud Oolong Collection (pictured below) and Chamomile Vanilla Bean Herbal Collection.

Upon opening the package, the Super Fruit Sencha smelled very much of a raspberry/blackberry blend and I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it since it  was very strong, but after brewing it the fruit flavor was delicate and the green tea flavor very light. It was very refreshing and would be delightful cold as well.

The Acai Berry Blend smelled like a musky currant when I opened the package, but I loved the flavor. I thought it would also be overpowering but it was wonderful without being heavy and the oolong came through with a slight tang. I would use this tea for everyday drinking.

The Lemon Rose Bud definately had the fragrance of roses but the flavor was very faint and the oolong flavor very light with  a touch of ginger. It was a delightful tea and I would also think this would be great iced.

The Chamomile Vanilla Bean immediately filled the air with the sweet aroma of vanilla beans  and the chamomile flowers looked lovely among  the other ingredients. You definitely need a strainer for this one  since it has a lot of floating ingredients.   I can envision sipping this tea before bedtime , curling up with a book in front of a fire or for a tummy ache! It has a  sweet, flowery, yet distinctly vanilla flavor with a hint of licorice.

Do I have a favorite? I love them all but I could drink the Acai Berry Blend  anytime! I think Fusion Teas has a lifelong customer here!

Fusion Teas is offering the following BrewT along with your choice of 2 Fusion Tea blends (3 oz  each).


The Sponsor has this to say about the Brew T:

The BrewT infuser is a revolutionary method for making your preferred hot or cold beverage through the ingenious combination of properly steeping premium loose leaf tea with fresh hot water. This patented process for making exceptional tea is so popular with people on the go, college students and office professionals, that it allows for a quality drink within minutes of mixing the ingredients together. The BrewT is brilliant.

Using the BrewT

The infuser is equipped with a unique shut-off valve invention that controls the flow of liquid from the Teaze to the cup through a specially designed filtration screen intended to prevent large particles from reaching your cup. With the placement of the brewer on the cup, the weight of the unit will open the valve and allow the infused liquid to flow into the cup. Once lifted from the cup, the plate falls and forces the shut-off valve to close the infuser opening thus preventing further flow. The impact resistant, high-grade polymer used in the manufacture of the BrewT allows for safe and easy use for its intended purpose.

Fusion Teas also has other wonderful gift sets you can purchase.
This Giveaway is open to US only and begins 7/30/2012 at 12:01 am EST and ends 8/11/2012 at 12:01 am EST
