Glee Gum “Make Your Own Candy” Review & Giveaway (ENDED)
Filed under: All Giveaways, Eco-Friendly, Natural Parenting/Breastfeeding, Reviews, Teen Products
I love Glee Gum because their products are all-natural with no preservatives, artificial flavors or colors and NO aspartame! They are the only company to use real chicle (sap from the rainforest) in their gum base which is very eco-friendly, too!
Another reason that I LOVE Glee Gum is that they have created these fun “Make Your Own Candy” Kits, which are such a fun thing to enjoy with your kids! We tried the “Make Your Own Gummies” Kit and had a blast! It was cool to see the all-natural ingredients like sugar and seaweed turn into something DELICIOUS!
We used the microwave to make our gummies. Check out our step-by-step photos below. The funny-looking thing is the seaweed. Looks interesting, tastes YUMMY!
Cool, huh?

Win Glee Soundtrack Volumes 1 & 2 (ENDED)
Are you a “Gleek”? I defy ANYONE to watch Glee and not fall in love with it! I just love this show and what I love most is that my teen daughter loves it, too, and we watch together! It’s a fun bonding experience, watching Glee with my daughter! It’s campy and fun and I love hearing the upbeat covers of rock, pop and R&B songs. It’s okay that most of the cast wasn’t born yet when half of the songs were first recorded. Clearly, they’re timeless!
Glee Volume 1 contains the following songs:
Don’t Stop Believin’ – Can’t Fight This Feeling – Gold Digger – Take a Bow – Bust Your Windows – Taking Chances – Alone – Maybe This Time – Somebody to Love – Hate on Me – No Air – You Keep Me Hanging On – Keep Holding On – Bust a Move – Sweet Caroline – Dancing With Myself – Defying Gravity
Glee Volume 2 contains the following songs:
Proud Mary – Endless Love – I’ll Stand By You – Don’t Stand So Close To Me – Crush – You’re Having My Baby – Lean on Me – Don’t Make Me Over – Imagine – True Colors – Jump – Smile – And I’m Telling You I’m Not Going – Don’t Rain on My Parade – You Can’t Always Get What You Want – My Life Would Suck Without You
Because I LOVE this show and LOVE these soundtracks SO much, I’m giving them both away to a lucky Things Moms Like winner!
Let your Gleek Flag Fly!!

Beauty From The Earth (BFTE) Mineral Makeup Review & Giveaway (12/13)
Filed under: All Giveaways, Beauty, Reviews, Teen Products
Mineral makeup is all the rage these days and Beauty From The Earth (BFTE) Cosmetics has created a gorgeous and affordable line of mineral makeup. I was so excited to try their Multi-Use Minerals and Gel Liners. I am a HUGE fan of gel liner. The great thing about gel liner is that you can get the rich look of liquid eyeliner without the mess and stuck-on feeling of regular liquid liner. A little goes a long way with BFTE Minerals, too, so it really is a fabulous value! You can change the way mineral makeup looks by using it with a wet or dry brush. You can also wet a liner brush and use it as a liner. When you use them wet as eyeshadow, it gives you a deeper, more intense color and dry, they are more subtle and soft. These are some of my favorite colors of Multi-Use Minerals.
Big Island, Cotton Candy & Wave Multi-Use Minerals
Beauty From The Earth Minerals are easy to work with, fun to play with and they look GREAT! Don’t forget to pick up some new brushes while you’re shopping!
Right now, you get FREE SHIPPING with orders over $50 at Beauty From The Earth! The PERFECT Christmas Gift!
You can win your very own Beauty From The Earth Minerals here at Things Moms Like!

Total Drama Island Season One DVD Giveaway (ENDED)
Filed under: All Giveaways, Holiday, Reviews, Teen Products
CONGRATULATIONS TO THE WINNERS:
Jessica @ thisdangerouslife.blogspot
Sarah K.
Kia
My kids LOVE Cartoon Network’s Total Drama Island! It’s sort of a take on the reality shows where contestants have to survive tough conditions in various locations, but they’re teenagers and they all have a different personality style. The teens are sent to Camp Wawanakwa in Ontario, Canada. On the island, there are various personalities like the “good girl”, the “cool guy”, the “goth girl” and “the bad/trouble boy” and it’s interesting and usually funny to see how they get along and sometimes clash.
Revisit all fun and drama from the hit animated series, Total Drama Island, on this complete season 4-disc DVD set. Twenty-two teens have just been sent to the oldest, moldiest, most beat up, run-down, bug-infested summer camp in Northern Ontario where they’ll be forced to endure a summer of leaky cabins, gross food and increasingly insane challenges. Only one can win – the rest will walk the dreaded Dock of Shame. Tensions will run high, the hook-ups are SO on, and the cameras will be there to catch it all. Includes 27 episodes, total running time of 594 minutes.
The Total Drama Island 4-disc DVD set would make a great gift for your Total Drama Island Fan! You can buy it at Cartoon Network’s Online Shop. They have FREE SHIPPING on orders of $30 or more right now, so hurry!
You can also WIN a copy of Total Drama Island Season One here at Things Moms Like! THREE WINNERS!
