This contest is now closed.
I’ve had quite a few companies reaching out to me lately to try and review a product on Live Green Mom. More often than not, I would rather just give the product away to a reader. Most companies are amenable to that, so… let’s give something away!
I love olive oil, use it for everything! I try and buy organic when I can, there is usually a good deal at Trader Joe’s on it or a decent coupon floating around. I like Carapelli organic olive oil, it has a smooth yet robust flavor that goes well with anything I pair it with.
Carapelli Organic Olive Oil.
Olive oil has many health benefits for your heart, so don’t shy away from it because of the fat. It’s good fat – yes! GOOD fat! It exists!

Awesome giveaway! I go through SO much olive oil every week!
Some people use it to clean their face, google ‘olive oil face cleansing method’ – I don’t know if i could go that far!
I use organic olive oil daily for digestion. I also use it when I do a liver flush.
Do you notice a difference, doing a liver flush?
In our home we only cook w. Olive Oil however, we can’t afford organic. We only buy evoo. When I make homemade popcorn every week, I use evoo instead of butter or oil. Yummy!
Well here is an easy chance to win some! Thanks for dropping by to read & enter!

My boyfriend thinks I’m odd because I use olive oil for nearly everything rather than anything else. Why use bad for you fats when you can use the good for you kind in Olive oil?
Couldn’t agree more, why use crap if you have an alternative? Thanks for commenting & entering!
