(Closed) Reivew and Giveaway: Brittanie's Thyme Mindful Beauty Products

*Giveaway Has Ended*


One of top ten nominees for People's Choice Award, Brittanie's Thyme has a lot to offer with their Mindful Beauty organic product line. With products that are all natural and great for the environment your mind can be at ease knowing that you are using quality products that have no harmful effects for our planet.

Brittanie's Thyme makes sure their products are fresh by only making small batches at a time. I love that there are no fillers, artificial preservatives, artificial fragrances or dyes used.

I was sent the following three Brittanie's Thyme products to review:

Organic Balancing Facial Toner

After using this product my skin felt refreshed and clean. I love the minty aroma of this product. A great bonus was that I felt no stinging sensation while applying, unlike a lot of other toners that I have used in the past. I really felt that this product help remove traces of dirt, oil and makeup that were left even after washing my face.


Relieve and calm your complexion with essence of peppermint and sweet orange while encouraging refreshed and healthy looking skin. Recommended for normal to oily skin.

How to Use: Use after cleansing. Shake lightly. Moisten cotton ball with toner and wipe entire face daily being especially gentle in eye area.

Ingredients: Distilled water, organic witch hazel, organic peppermint essential oil, organic sweet orange essential oil.

Gluten Free/Vegan


Organic Balancing Facial Toner is available at Brittanie's Thyme for $7.00


Organic Hair Silk

After using a small amount of this product, I saw a noticeable difference in the shine and luster of my hair. A wonderful lavendar aroma is noticed while using this product. With natural oils that really help keep your hair looking it's best. This is a great "environmentally friendly" product to use.


Get rid of flyaways and frizzies organically. Smoothes and protects hair while providing excellent nourishment without chemicals.

How to Use: Place two to three drops in palm and rub hands together. Smooth over damp or dry hair, style as usual.

Ingredients: Organic sweet almond oil, organic lavender essential oil, organic rosemary essential oil.

Gluten Free/Vegan


Organic Hair Silk is available at Brittanie's Thyme for $9.50




Organic Everyday Moisturizer
The best feature of this moisturizer is it's ability to absorb quickly. It is lightweight and does not leave my skin feeling greasy. After applying the moisturizer in the morning, my makeup application is smooth and not weighed down by the moisturizer. This is a great moisturizer with a wonderful citrus fragrance.


For all skin types. Provides natural antioxidants along with vitamin E to give gentle, yet effective, protection from dryness while encouraging skin's suppleness. Absorbs quickly, leaving a velvety feel.

How to Use: Place two to three drops in hands, apply all over face and neck area massaging until absorbed.

Review: Kimberly Sayer of London Aromatic Night Repair Cream

by Jamie Hackbarth
Contributor/Reviewer at Mint Green with Envy


I have to tell you that after a "fun" night out-- the next morning came too early. I was laying on the couch trying to gather enough energy when my favorite FedEx lady came ringing on my doorbell. I say favorite because you see we have history. She always seems to catch me at my best (worst). I will tell you that story later ;)

Anyways, I was super pumped about hearing about a new skincare line that I wanted to try- Kimberly Sayer of London. All of their products are made with certified organic ingredients and are not tested on animals, nor contain any ingredients derived from animals.

I was shipped the Aromatic Night Repair Cream to review. I always get excited to see how a product smells since fragrances tend to give me a headache. I was all giddy with the beautiful aromatic smell of the lavender. I sampled a little between my fingers letting the cream glide easily between them. I loved the thickness of the shea butter and other pure fine ingredients. Then I closed my eyes and imagined myself getting a hundred dollar facial. I gently applied to my face (only need to apply a dime size) and inhaled light breaths of the gentle smell. It made my body calm and relaxed me. A little goes a long way!!

All I can say about this product is that it gets the highest of recommendations- As I finish this write-up, I am on day 4 of using it and absolutely love it! It contains less than 25 ingredients, all organic with no additives. The price is superb and if you have dry skin, it is a must. I loved the fact that even after put some on my lips, the product did not have any bad taste! It is great for all skin types -- Dry, Sensitive and Normal and you can use it daily as well as at night and also with winter approaching it is a great way to protect your skin from the elements.

From Kimberly Sayers Website:

AROMATIC NIGHT REPAIR CREAM for Dry, Sensitive and Normal SkinA rich, deep-penetrating night treatment formulated to hydrate dry, mature and sensitive skin at the cellular level, to leave skin soft and supple. Ideal for use on all skin types and perfect for the cold winter months, it heals dry wind chapped skin. Can be used under a daily moisturizer for an extra layer of protection and increased hydration.2oz/60ml

BENEFITS• Contains Squalene (derived naturally from olives) to prevent moisture loss, while working as a protective barrier against the elements• Rare Ugandan Shea Butter softens skin• Rose Oil increases cellular turnover and soothes and softens skin• Comfrey Root delivers proteins and Vitamin B12 to the skin at the cellular level• Use nightly


You can purchase the Aromatic Night Repair Cream at Kimberly Sayer for a SRP of $32

Review: Organix Healing Mandarin and Olive Oil Shampoo


Reviewed by Brooke Miller
Contributor/Reviewer at Mint Green with Envy

I don’t know about you, but I am always on the hunt for a better shampoo and conditioner. Well, I definitely found one worth buying! I was able to review the Organix Healing Mandarin and Olive Oil shampoo and conditioner. Both the shampoo and conditioner came in an attractive 13-ounce bottle. The first thing I noticed was the delicious mandarin scent. It wasn’t overpowering, but just strong enough to keep your hair smelling great for hours to come. After applying the shampoo, I could tell immediately that I was going to get a great cleanse! The conditioner was thick, but it did not leave my hair feeling weighed down.


The true test came when it was time to style my hair. This product gave me great frizz control for my naturally curly hair, but left me with plenty of volume. Another great benefit was the beautiful shine that it created. I can see why this shampoo was the winner of the All You “Best Beauty Buy” Best Shampoo award. Don’t hesitate to buy this product!

Review: Clientele Thermal Pumpkin Scrub

Clientele Thermal Pumpkin Scrub is an amazing product! It is an all in one scrub and face wash that has a terrific pumpkin and cinnamon fragrance. The pumpkin enzymes in this product will help keep your face looking young by removing aged cells from your skin. Lycopene and Lutein are also used in this product to help tighten and firm your skin.

This is now one of my favorite facial scrubs. I love the thermal properties. I use about a quarter size amount and slather it all over my face and then take a little water and start circling the scrub over my skin. Once the water and the thermal scrub connect the results are a wonderfully warm and pampering feel on your skin.

I have definitely seen an improvement to my overall skin appearance by using this product. My skin felt smoother and more evenly tone.

This a product to try, especially if you are looking for a facial scrub that will delight your senses and leave you looking refreshed and rejuvenated.

Clientele Thermal Pumpkin scrub is available on the Clientele Online Store and is listed at $35.00.

Hellman’s Sandwich Swap and Share helps end childhood hunger


Written by Trish Deitemyer
Reviewer/Contributor at Mint Green with Envy


You’re not tired of packing lunches already, are you? I hope not, because Hellman’s has the coolest Facebook app you just have to try! It’s a virtual sandwich swap, and not only is it fun, it benefits a good cause, too. Once you build your sandwich using a variety of breads, fillings, toppings and even some weird things (heart candies? Chocolate syrup?), you can add a fun message and name it, then swap it with one (or more) of your friends. Every time you build a sandwich, Hellman’s/Best Foods makes a donation to Share Our Strength, an organization devoted to ending childhood hunger in the U.S. And each time you swap it with your friends, another donation is made. You can also see some celebrity-made creations, like Lori Loughlin’s yummy-looking Sammy with grilled chicken, roasted peppers and avocados. And if you have a little picky eater in your house, maybe letting her build her own (virtual) sandwich might just spark her to try something new.

Hellman’s has made a commitment to give up to $75,000 to Share Our Strength to help the almost 17 million children who struggle with hunger. Let’s do our part and build some sandwiches!


Disclosure: By writing this post I have been entered for a chance to win a gift as part of the Hellmann's®program.

Review: Scandle Shimmering Lotion Candles



Reviewed by Jamie Hackbarth
Reviewer/Contributor at Mint Green with Envy

The Scandle Copa Cabana scented shimmering body candle does not disappoint. It had a great aroma before it was even lit. I love the fact that it serves so many purposes; a beautifully scented candle, a moisturizing lotion, body shimmer and massage lotion. As an avid hand washer, my hands tend to crack and my cuticles are so dry. The Scandle made them feel wonderful!


Light it up while taking a bath for the ambiance and then massage it on your body after you dry off. It shimmers so beautifully in the light and it smells so wonderful. Where else can you get such a "transformer" of a product. The possibilities are endless with this product!

You can purchase the scandle shimmering lotion candle from Scandle for $22.95

Review: Allure by Jen, Radiance Powders

Allure by Jen carries a variety of different mineral makeup. Everything from eye shadows, blush, lip apparel, and much more. I had the chance to review 2 of Allure by Jen's radiance powders one called Candlelight, and the other Taupe. The above photo is a picture of the candlelight radiance powder.

I love the color of the candlelight radiance powder. It gives my face such a healthy radiant glow. It puts a touch of pink to my cheek bones and makes me look more vibrant and rejuvenated.
I love the fact that it controls the oil on my face and helps minimize the look of fine lines.



Pictured above is the Taupe Radiance Powder from Allure by Jen. One of the great things about these radiance powders is that they are multi-tasking. You can use them as a primer, powder, or a veil. This shade of Taupe gives just the right amount of color to the cheekbones, and is a perfect addition to your autumn makeup routine.

Check out all the other great makeup selections that Allure by Jen has to offer.

Candlelight and Taupe Radiance powders are available at Allure by Jen for $14.99

If you are looking for beautiful handcrafted dessert ware look no further. Hull's Happiest Day Designs makes personalized plates, mugs, and more. These customized creations make great gifts for bridal showers, anniversaries, weddings, or just to keep for yourself.

I was sent two personalized apple tree mugs for review. I was so happy with the final result. The mug had my name and my husband's name in a heart in the trunk of the tree, and our kids names on the little apples that were falling not too far off the tree . The craftsmanship of these mugs is superb. The artist is talented and the drawings are of a professional quality. I love the fact that these mugs are microwave safe, and dishwasher tolerant. I can make a cup of hot chocolate in the microwave and sit down to enjoy while being reminded of the loves of my life.

This set of mugs are available at Happiest Day Designs for $35.00

Shawn Hull

Ingredients
2 ½ cups of Flour

¼ tsp of salt
½ cup of butter
½ cup of brown sugar
½ cup of sugar
2 eggs
¼ cup of sour cream
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 ripe brown bananas mashed with a fork

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a Bundt pan with non-stick spray. In a large bowl cream sugar with butter. Add eggs one at a time to sugar mixture. Add vanilla. Then layer on top the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix the dry ingredients on the top together without disturbing the wet on the bottom. Then mix all the ingredients together and add the mashed banana and sour cream. Mix only until blended, then add the chocolate chips. Gently fold in, so as not to over mix and toughen the cake.
