Carmex Vanilla & Lime (New flavors!) Review & Giveaway!

Carmex has two new awesome flavors for their chapstick and as part of the Carmex Blog Squad I was given the opportunity to review them!
The Lime and Vanilla flavors are ultra smooth, and ultra moisturizing so your lips feel and taste great! 

I am a huge Carmex fan anyway, but I am now an even bigger fan because of these new flavors! I love wearing chapstick with a great flavor to it! My favorite is the Vanilla stick, but my hubby loves the Lime! He's even snatched it up and taken it to work with him to have for himself! :) The new flavors are yummy but yet light and not to strong of a flavor or scent. The chapstick is the same great stuff that relieves those dry lips and provides tons of moisture! 

I was also given the Carmex Moisture Plus Ultra Hydrating Lip Balm to try. This is great for when you want the moisture and a little shine too! I really like this stuff! It's not flavored but its soft and smooth and light! I like to wear it all the time because it gives me that moisture and also makes me feel like I have a little gloss on! It also has SPF 15 so my lips are protected from the sun! Want some color? The Moisture Plus balms come in tints too such as sheer pink, sheer peach, and sheer berry! 

Carmex also threw in a really awesome picnic blanket with a zip up pouch that is connected! Because they are just so nice like that! :) 
Hubby snatched the Lime stick up and took it to work before I could get a picture of it lol! 


Buy It!
You can find Carmex products at most any of your local retailers including Walgreens, Target, or Walmart! 
Win It!
One lucky winner will receive a prize package just like I reviewed! This includes one Vanilla stick, one Lime Stick, one Moisture Plus stick, and one picnic blanket!

Dial Doctors Review & Giveaway!


I was contacted by a Dial Doctors representative and was immediately intrigued by what they offer! Dial Doctors is a company that provides affordable health care to Americans through telemedicine. While this is not health insurance, it is a great way to be able to consult with a doctor and save money as well! 

When Noah was about 9 months old, he had his first stomach bug. This was the first time Brian or myself had ever seen him truly vomit. It was so scary for both of us! And of course, it was about 2 in the morning so we didn't know what to do or who to call. We didn't know if we needed to take him to the ER or just watch him until morning. Being a scared first time mom I called my own mother and woke her up from her sleep to ask her what to do, but if I'd of known about Dial Doctors then I would have definitely called them first! 

What does Dial Doctors have to offer? 

  • customers have unlimited 24/7 access to a doctor(all state licensed physicians) by phone or email
  • discounts in vision, dental, hearing, diabetic supplies, and more 
  • saves you a trip to the ER, if not needed, and that ER bill as well!


Dial Doctors costs $29.95 per family plus $5.95 shipping and handling. Once your family is registered you have unlimited access to the doctors and consultants. You can call at any time to see about discounts on health products you use all the time. And there is always a doctor on call, 24/7 , for those late night sickies all our kiddos get at some point. There are no hidden fees and you can cancel at any time! 

My Review

I received a 30 day trial of Dial Doctors to review their service. While I haven't had to actually call the doctors for a late night consult, I love the peace of mind in knowing that I can at any time. I know there will be times again when it's the middle of the night and I won't quite be sure if I need to take Noah or the new baby in to the doctor or if there is something I can do at home to help them. Knowing that I can call and talk to a real deal doctor about it makes me feel so much better. 

I also love the discounts I can get with Dial Doctors! I can get my prenatal vitamins at a great price WITH an additional 10% off through Dial Doctors. I can also get great products like California Baby diaper rash cream or gripe water for the baby at discounted prices! And there is even an automatic monthly shipment option! 

I love that this service can give me peace of mind, and save me tons of money! And it's super affordable to purchase the service as well! 

Buy It!

Win It!
One lucky reader will win a FREE 30 day trial of Dial Doctors!
