This giveaway is now over....

I recently received a sample of Bertolli Olive Oil and a recipe to try...my confession, I used some of my Bertolli Olive Oil sample in this Heath Bar Crunch Cake! I was out of regular oil and decided to try this in the cake---which I was a little worried thinking that we might be able to tell that there was olive oil in the cake rather than regular oil---and no one noticed---score one for this mama and Bertolli!

I also used the Bertolli Olive Oil in several pasta dishes, and with warmer weather here I love using it in my vegetable dishes...like oven roasted potatoes, seasoned with garlic powder.

I was also sent Chef Fabio Viviani, Top Chef fan favorite and author of Fabio’s Italian Kitchen, favorite recipe to try:

Zim's Product Review and Giveaway

This giveaway is now over....

I have to be honest, I had never heard of the Zim's brand of products before, until a couple of weeks ago when I was asked to review some of their products.

I love trying new products, and normally do not let my teens try new products until they have been proven to work, not to mention safe to use. However, I did let my oldest try one of these products;  because when I received the products I immediately noticed that the Zim's brand use naturally-based products, like Aloe, Vitamin E and Tea Tree oil and others. So I was impressed by that and felt like it was safe for him to use!

Prior to receiving these Zim's products, my oldest son enjoys lifting weights, and had pulled or strained a muscle in his upper arm/shoulder area and had been taking over the counter meds to try and get it to stop hurting--nothing was working! Sure the meds would ease the pain for a while but then it would come back. I suggested that he try this Zim's Max-Free product that I had just received and he gave it a try---he used it for two days and has not complained any more about the pain, he says his shoulder is fine now. Woot!

I have been using the Zim's Crack Creme on mine and my husbands feet---my feet were only a little dry and after a couple of days of using the Crack creme, my feet are now very soft--I continue to use it, because I really like it. Buy what is amazing are my husband's feet! {I begged my husband to let me take a picture of his feet before he started using the crack cream---but he said no!} The bottom of his feet have always been terribly dry, sometimes even cracked, hard calluses on his big toes and heels---after only a few days of using Zim's Crack Cream, the bottom of his feet are smooth, no dryness, no cracks, and his calluses are softening some.

So no more of sleeping next to my husbands dry feet thanks to Zims!--After all, 19 years of dry feet is enough!

Zim's has a lot of great products available, { I cannot wait to try their lip products!}you can check out all of their products on their website, they are also on Facebook and Twitter.

The Giveaway:
One awesome Swappin' Spoons Reader will win 3 Zim's products, 1 Crack Creme, 1 Max-Freeze, and 1 Maximum Heat.

To Enter: You can receive up to 3 entries!
1. Leave a comment telling my when you first heard of Zims' Products (include you email address)

2. Like the Swappin' Spoons Facebook Page and leave a comment telling me that you do/did (along with your email address)

3. Like the Zim's Product Facebook Page and then come back here telling me that you did (along with your email address)
