Carrot Tart Speaks

carrottarts.blogspot.com Woohoo! I am so excited that my work for a Freeman Beauty Campaign from Influenster is paying off that I wanted to share! There are so many products from Freeman Beauty that I have been wanting to try so this is fabulous! Expect a few more #FreemanBeauty product reviews on my little blog :D Would you like to join #influenster? Just leave me a comment and I will be happy to supply the details! I originally received products to review from Influenster and Freeman Beauty ~ all opinions are my own.

  carrottarts.blogspot.com  Bulletproof Picasso by Train bounces around from upbeat catchy tunes to ballads. It seems like the group was going through a reflective time . I tried to delve into the meaning of the album as a whole since I received it complimentary from Sony Music and One2One network to review . First time I have really explored an album this way. Usually I just hear a song and if I can not get it out of my head I go check out the band . The more I listen perhaps it is just me being reflective. I love music that can make you feel things and reminds you of memories. The music is not all nostalgic ~ there is a feeling of hope and even some humor . A line in "Son of a Prison Guard" which is a melancholic song made me burst out laughing. Hmm should I share ...okay I will - "My mother bless her heart just set the bar too high to start". I am going to have to figure out which band member is from the South.  I also love music you can sing to an...

My friend Katrina called and invited me to go see an outdoor jazz concert featuring Adrian Duke Project at Thrasher Park in Norcross, GA one Friday night at 6:30 pm. Concert started at 7:30 pm. I really had to scramble to get ready and thankfully I happened to have some Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Almonds handy so I threw them in my bag with some cupcake liners for serving. We arrived just in time for the first set and we were hungry so we dove in right away. My favorite was the Honey Roasted Vanilla Almonds and Katrina preferred the Honey Roasted Chipotle ~ call us sweet & spicy. We were fueled just right for a little dancing. The concert was a lot of fun and a nice setting for Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Almonds because being outdoors reminded me of another passion of Blue Diamond ~ honeybees. Blue Diamond has been helping fund research since 1976 including Project Apis m . which is run by beekeepers. Great site to learn lots about honeybees - they pollinate 1/3...

This is the first kitchen scale I have ever owned . I know one feature that attracts me to it is the sleek design - very modern and chic with a reflective contoured base and touch operations. Another nice touch is that it is battery operated with automatic shut off yet turns on with just a touch. Another great feature of the Ozeri Epicurean Digital Kitchen Scale is the tare function . Tare is the weight of a container before adding content to it . The scale registers the weight of the container and deducts it automatically so you are given the precise weight of what you put in. Especially great if you are weighing more than one item. I decided to see what a serving of cereal looked like. I have always been curious.  A scale can be used for measuring your servings or creating epicurean delights that require more precise measurement. Next thing I am going to try is weighing a package for mailing. This way I know about how much I will expect to pay to ship it!...

Trying to keep fueled and healthy this summer? Blue Diamond Almonds are a super snack for so many reasons. They are ideal for outdoor activities - whether you are hanging out in the yard or headed to the park - since they won't get crushed. Almonds can satisfy the urge for a salty snack while providing loads of Vitamin E and magnesium. Vitamin E is great stuff for your skin and magnesium helps with proper muscle function so while you are out running around in the sun what better treat than Blue Diamond Almonds :D Vitamin E and magnesium also fight inflammation (source:livestrong.com). My sister Tera likes taking them with us when we go on road trips. She will forget basic stuff like toothpaste or an atlas but if I ask where the almonds are no problem!  We basically live out of the car on our trips so almonds work out great ~ no matter how hot it gets in the car or what we throw on top of them they survive deliciously. Makes them great for camping too. OOh I bet they would be...

Not just for feet any more! Welcome to the new Freeman Beauty Bare Foot experience with products designed for all of your skin needs. I have always loved Freeman products and it was great when Influenster.com gave me a chance to review a new one. I gave this product a few little tests - after willy nilly slathering it all over my feet first :D . Since this is for all over the body now I put it on one arm and did not use it again. Kind of drives me nuts playing scientist as I have the summer skin blues . I won't for long because this stuff really works and after a few days and another shower I can still feel the difference after only one use! One of the stipulations for my review was to find the product at WalMart and that was easier said than done - WalMart places the Freeman Beauty products in different places and each WalMart is different. I found this line in a center aisle display with other products designated for use in the sun near the gardening center.  I cho...
