Welcome to the Blendtec Designer Series Wildside Blender giveaway!

I have teamed up with Kate n’ Kaboodle to celebrate the final giveaway in her Funtastic Summer Event. The Funtastic Summer Event started June 10th with dozens of fun, summer themed giveaways! You can find all the giveaways here!

The Blendtec Designer Series Wildside Blender is the Swiss Army Knife of Blenders because it can do the job of many appliances. It’s a whole juicer, a meat grinder, a latte machine, a bread mixer, an ice cream maker, a grain mill, coffee grinder, milkshake mixer, and a blender all in one!

The sleek design features an illuminated, easy to read, touch screen with universal icons. This enables effortless selection of blend cycles. Blendtec created pre-programmed blending cycles to to produce optimum results for a wide range of blending tasks. Making a smoothie is as easy as a touch of a button! Just add your ingredients and press the “smoothie” icon!

Want total control? The revolutionary new slider interface gives you absolute control over your blender’s speed. Touch anywhere on the slider to jump right to any speed, and slide your finger up and down to fine tune your blend.

The Wildside Jar is BPA free and has a total volume of 90 fl oz. Clean up is a breeze with the flat, sealed, touch area and smooth motor base design. Just wipe it off with a damp cloth! No more messy buttons! The small, sleek design allows the Blendtec Designer Series Blender to fit under most cabinetry so it is easily accessible.

This blender is more than a pretty face! With over 1500 watts of power, the commercial grade motor is the most powerful motor available for home use. The Blendtec blender is build for speed and power! The precision-machined socket connects directly to the motor, resulting in a finely-balanced motor assembly. This reduces vibration and noise, which is critical at the motor speeds you will see with the Blendtec. The air-flow design keeps the blender cooler enabling the blender to have a longer life.

We’ve had temperatures in the 90’s this week in the Northeast and so I’ve been re-evaluating my swimsuit wardrobe. Invited to a “pool party” today, I was happy that I had received a bathing suit from 1 Sol Swimwear.

It’s sophisticated. It’s chic. It’s glam. It makes me think of Old Hollywood with a modern flair. In short, I love it. It’s a gorgeous rich ripe plum color and very flattering. I’m talking about the 1 Sol Swimwear Cleo Tankini with a classic brief which I was sent to review.

First of all, it arrived in this beautiful box with a silver tie. Very classy. Gorgeous box and inside a gorgeous swimsuit. I noticed right away how soft and silky it was. Extremely well-made. Beautiful craftsmanship.

The swimsuit was nicely fitted but not too tight and has beautiful ruching for depth and texture and tummy control panels. It had a slimming effect that I appreciated. It looks great on and is silky and luxurious, sure to get compliments.  It showed just enough but not too much and it was great when I was active; it definitely stays in place.  I would wear this to a garden party with a sarong. 1 Sol has a nice plum chiffon one for only $18 that would match this suit perfectly. It’s on my list. with one of their super cute beach bags.

After wear, just hand wash and lay it flat to dry. The material is 91% nylon and 9% spandex and the Cleo Tankini comes in  black, white, metallic army, charcoal, copper, fushia, emerald and electric blue as well as the plum for $215.

They also have Brazilian Bikinis, Moderate Coverage Bikinis, Tankinis, Monokinis and One Pieces  – embellished, prints and silky solids.  They also sell really cute cover-ups, bags and sarongs.

You can also build your own bikini with their bikini maker. This is pretty cool as it lets you see on a model how different colors, styles and prints look together.

You can purchase any of the above-mentioned items and more at 1Sol Swimwear.

Diamond Candles are really popular lately! You can get a ring worth $10 to $5,000 with every candle! And of course, the Kindle Fire is still super-hot!

Since Bay Area Mommy will be celebrating its 1st year anniversary on July 27, there’s going to be an awesome Kindle Fire & Diamond Candles giveaway with 2 winners!

Skillet Pumpkin Sauce is the newest addition to the Skillet line. Their pumpkin ketchups have a unique flavor and a good nutritional profile that comes from vitamins and minerals naturally found in pumpkin.

The Skillet Pumpkin Sauce comes in three flavors: Thai Coconut, Chipotle, and Apple Vinegar Brown Sugar

I sampled the Thai Coconut which had a nice, rich, though not overwhelming, coconut flavor along with Asian spices, pumpkin and curry.

I thought that I’d try it out with a stir-fry since this is one of my go to dishes, espcially when I don’t have a large amount of time. I cooked up some jasmine rice, then stir-fried it with zucchini, onions, carrots, mushrooms and celery. I feel that it had a nice Thai-food like flavor and I would use it again as a variation on the basic stir-fry. I also used it as a dipping sauce for Spring Rolls and enjoyed the combination.

You can check out all their products at Skillet or email them with any inquiries at eat@skilletstreetfood.com.

And, if you’re in Seattle, you can check out their diner which has delicious items like maple braised pork belly and waffles with a fried egg on top, as well as burgers with bacon jam, arugula, bleu/brie on brioche with hand cut fries.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
