Coconut Snowman Tart

12 Tenderflake® Tart Shells (1, 255g package)
12 Tenderflake® Mini-Tart Shells (1, 255g package)
2 pkgs white cake mix (2, 250g) or 1 (520g) pkg deluxe white cake mix
350g vanilla frosting (1½ cups)
175g flaked coconut (over ½ cup)

Red cherry ribbon licorice
Green candy sphere balls (substitute with any round candy)
Black licorice laces
Mini candy-coated chocolates
Black gumdrops
Pretzel sticks

Method:

Step 1 – Mix
• Prepare the white cake mix as per package instructions in a medium bowl
Step 2 – Bake
• Spoon cake mixture evenly into 12 Tenderflake® Tart Shells and 12 Tenderflake® Mini-tart Shells, filing to rim. Careful not to overfill.
• Bake the filled mini-tart shells as per cake mix package instructions. While baking, the cake mixture will rise to form the snowball shape. Cool thoroughly.
Step 3 – Decorate!
• Frost the top of each cooled tart with frosting, building up the middle a little more to achieve the snowball shape. Roll the tart top in flaked coconut to cover completely.
• To make hat brim, cut a 1/8 inch thick slice off the flat end of a gum drop. Poke a deep hole into the rounded end of the gumdrop. Secure the brim to the hat top by skewering the rounded end to the slice with a pretzel stick and into the tart.
• For eyes, press in two mini chocolate chips; for nose, press in a red mini candy-coated chocolate; for mouth, press in a short length of black licorice lace and adhere with frosting if necessary.
• To make scarf, cut the cherry ribbon licorice in strips and secure to body with frosting. For buttons, press green candy balls into body.
• Repeat decorating steps for all 12 tarts. Arrange mini-tarts (head) and tarts (body) together on a tray and watch your Coconut Snowmen Tarts warm up your Christmas gathering.

The gloves are available for customers to purchase from our online shop (www.etreshop.com); and also from leading fashion stores, including Park & Bond, Bonobos and Fair Indigo.

Mango Madness Skin Care Announces Exfoliate Me™ Glycolic Acid Cleanser

Anti-aging skin care product retailer Mango Madness Skin Care, Inc. announces Exfoliate Me™ glycolic acid cleanser as both an exfoliation product and a paraben-free facial cleanser.

West Palm Beach, FL, --Anti-aging skin care product retailer Mango Madness Skin Care, Inc. has announced Exfoliate Me™ glycolic acid cleanser as both an exfoliation product and a paraben-free facial cleanser.

Exfoliation is a well known skin care regimen staple, made popular by its ability to rejuvenate skin by removing old, dead skin cells from the skin surface. This encourages the growth of new skin cells, builds collagen, and yields generally healthier skin. Another benefit of this exfoliation process is that it helps with acne - the removal of old skin cells unclogs pores, a leading cause of acne, and by increasing the cell turnover rate, glycolic acid helps fade existing blemishes faster.
Many different strengths of glycolic acid are available for skin exfoliation. Generally, concentrations above 25% should be performed in a clinical setting, and are too strong for many people. The Exfoliate Me face cleanser contains 10% glycolic acid, making it gentle enough for use several times per week at home without irritation.
"Exfoliate Me™ glycolic acid cleanser is one of our most popular products because it provides a wide variety of benefits,” explained Gary Myers, spokesman for Mango Madness Skin Care. "It is effective on acne when nothing else seems to work, it helps fade age spots, it helps build collagen, and can increase skin's elasticity," Myers added.

In addition to being formulated with no parabens, Exfoliate Me™ contains no sulfates, phthalates, BPA, or other suspect ingredients. The company performs no animal testing and all ingredients are animal cruelty free.

Mango Madness Skin Care manufactures a complete line of paraben-free skin care products including hyaluronic acid moisturizers, retinol and peptide wrinkle creams, glycolic acid, amber based and microdermabrasion type exfoliators, a vitamin K under eye cream, gentle skin cleansers, and a broad spectrum sunblock. The company recently opened its newest retail store at CityPlace in West Palm Beach, Fla.

Australian Blue Cypress – prevents growth of bacteria and fungus

Lice Bomb

Head lice don’t stand a chance against the powerful yet sweet smelling pure plant essences found in Lice Bomb. Derived from nature, this non-toxic, non-drip formula is gentle on young hair and won’t have kids running for the hills. Packaged with a comb, a little Lice Bomb combined with a little patience keeps critters and their eggs at bay.

Key Ingredients:
Lice Bomb Botanical Complex – coconut, orange and tea tree oil stop lice in their tracks
Lemon Myrtle Oil – provides a clean, fresh scent

Directions:
Apply a small amount to the scalp beginning at the nape of the neck and then massage through the roots in an upward motion toward the crown. Once a thin film has been achieved, comb hair from roots to ends with a fine-toothed comb. Wipe lice eggs from comb, repeat this process for twenty minutes and rinse with warm water.

Moms are pro multitaskers already so is our Daily Tonic. A one-stop shop for shape, protection and care, this leave-in conditioner allows for a knot-free existence between kids and their combs.

Key Ingredients:

Phyto-Chemicals – help prevent head lice
Pure Australian Oils – natural moisturizer, promotes shine

Directions:
Shake well. Spray onto hair and scalp prior to combing, paying close attention to the name of the neck and behind the ears – this is where lice are most likely to lay eggs.

Product Description


Whether moms have picky or adventurous eaters and whether they love to cook or just endure it, getting dinner on the table weeknight after weeknight is enough to make a mom throw in the towel.

Time for Dinner is that playbook of tricks, inspiration, plans, and 100 go-to recipes. With 250 photographs, it's a visual toolkit of a book that gives every mom the ideas and strategies she needs to get a great family meal on the table night after night without losing her mind (or her sense of humor).
