OreIda Easy Fries are for mom's on the go who need good tasting fries in minutes

Microwave fries! Who microwaves fries? OreIda does, that's who and apparently so do I. Normally I wouldn't be caught dead microwaving fries. I mean every time I have cooked french fries for my children I have put them in the oven and waited the 20-30 minutes for them to be done. But the waiting is over. OreIda Easy fries are done by the time it would take you to pre-heat the oven. To make things even better they taste great when you take them out. Now I did get a coupon for free to give these a try, but I am so glad I did. Mom's on the run can't wait for oven's to pre-heat and cook french fries. We need to pop in a box of Ore-Ida Easy Fries feed our children and get to soccer practice. I am now a believer in Microwave fries. Not all the time- because all that microwaving stuff can't be good for us... but when I am in a hurry you better believe I will have boxes of these fries in the freezer ready to go.  Just think what Mrs. Cleaver would do. She would be jumping for joy right now. I mean first of all to have a microwave during her time would be fascinating, and then to see it cook fries in just minutes. Ah... that's just more time to spend with Wally and the Beave.

Don't look like a reptile! Blue Lizard Protecting You Skin From the Summer Sun

I was recently asked to try Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen. Sounds fancy doesn't it? Well it looks fancy too. When exposed to the sun's rays the top of the container turns blue. My kids thought that was fantastic. As for the product, they wouldn't stand around long enough to put it on. That is one of the negative points. This is a thicker, zinc oxide formulas. So it's white, and it goes on white, and after some rubbing it blends in. Now if you have children in a hurry, like I do. This is not he sunscreen for them.  But on another note, a little goes a long way. So if you can get a dab on their noses and cheeks and rub rub rub. They are good to go, and in my opinion protected from the sun.

Even though this is a thicker sunscreen, it is silky, so it's not like you are spreading drying mud on your face. It also doesn't smell so I offered it to my husband for his face and used it on my own. I do feel like it protected my face well. The one I tried was for sensitive skin, so I liked knowing that when I put it on my face. Every time I pick up a face-sunscreen I am reading about it to make sure it's not going to my face freak out. I used this one only a few times, but each time my face was fine. This is one of the selling points for this product. It doesn't irritate your skin!

Another selling point is how little you can use, and still cover a lot of skin. That will help people when it comes to the price. When I shopped around I saw that it is a little more expensive then some of the other brands I buy. Now I am testing this product, so I did not pay for it, but for those of you who will pay for it, I think you are getting a good value for your money.

If you try Blue Lizard sunscreen I don't think you will be disappointed. I will say if you are looking for something natural do your research first. Most of the sunscreens I have used in the past have some type of chemicals in them. I try to find the brands with the less amount, but I still need the coverage and I am not convinced all natural is the way to go. This sunscreen says it is Paraben free and Chemical Free.  With that said the list of ingredients is still hard to pronounce. So do your research if you have concerns.
