My #HiddenValleyRanchers Houseparty!!

I was so excited to be picked as a host of a Hidden Valley Ranch Party from Crowdtap!! I received many free goodies like a bottle of Hidden Valley Original Ranch dressing, a packet of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Dips mix, 2 packets of Hidden Valley Original Ranch Salad Dressing and Seasoning mix, a dip clip, a Team Ranch T-shirt and packets of the dressing mix, dip mix, and dip clips for my guests too! And as if that wasn’t enough, they also sent excellent coupons…I’m talking $1.00 off and they last till May 2015! I know they won’t last that long though ;)

I decided to make Original Ranch crispy chicken, Original Ranch Roasted potatoes, and Hidden Valley Ranch Crescent Rolls (and corn of course, but there was no ranch in that lol). It was a huge success, everybody LOVED the food! All of the rolls were gone, most of the potatoes, and only 2 pieces of chicken remained…and I thought I had made extra. The recipes were easy, and there are tons to pick from on their website. I know I will be trying more in the future.

ChapStick Hydration Lock day and night formula compliments of Smiley360!

I LOVE to share my opinions and thoughts on products that I use in my life. That is why I am a member of a few websites that give you the opportunity to try [new] products for FREE in exchange for my review of it and the fact that I will spread the word about these products to my friends and family. So weather I like the product or not, I tell people all about what I think. My friends and family love it because I usually have valuable coupons to hand along for them to be able to try it as well.

I really enjoyed having the opportunity from Smiley360 to try ChapStick Hydration Lock day and night formula. They send me products like this for free in the mail, and I give them MY 100% honest opinion of it. I liked that the conditioning day formula had a sunscreen for protection from the sun. But I thought it felt a little thick and heavy on my lips at first.  I liked the night formula the most which replenished my lips with natural butters and antioxidants. Unfortunately I used the night formula up quicker, so I might be more suited for just a tube of that! Overall I really liked having the combination of the 2 to continuously combat my dry/chapped and cracking lips.
