Nacho Mama T-Shirt Giveaway (Closed)
I have another fun T-shirt giveaway for you here at PrissyGreen. Remember a few weeks back I had one for Crazy Dog T’s? Well their sister company Nacho Mama also let me do a review and would like to offer a giveaway!
This is the shirt I chose.
I am sorta known for voicing the sketchy music to that movie. Not just anytime but when a situation gets weird.
These are some other favorites!
I know, I know. So not politically correct, but still hilarious! I love that Nacho Mama Sells 3XL and ladies too! They really give you any and all options on sizing you need.
and one of you will walk away with a Tee of YOUR CHOICE!
To enter, visit Nacho Mama Tees and tell me the shirt you would pick and who it would be for.
I am thinking this would make a great gift for those unfortunate enough to be born in January!

Coleman is giving you the chance to win many times this holiday season! They have a twitter contest plus they have asked me to host a giveaway here!

This what I tweeted to Coleman earlier today.
@ColemanCampfire I would like to purchase one of the Extreme wheeled coolers! Life saver! practical and u can wheel it, instead of carrying!
We could really use one. Every time we go stay in a hotel we take our own snacks and stuff for sandwiches, plus drinks and Craig either has to carry it when we leave because all the hotel dollies are being used or we wait on a bellhop. It is always a hassle!

Vegetarian Mexican Lasagna Make it Monday
December 14, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Recipes: Home, Skin, Food
I can’t even tell you how delicious this recipe is. I have had it pulled from a magazine since last year and finally made it Sunday. Of course I never stick to a recipe so I added the Cumin, green chiles and corn but feel free to keep those out, or add your own additions. You could also use whole wheat tortillas but corn ones are pretty good for you.
Ingredients:
1 package corn tortillas
2 medium onions
4 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tsp ground cumin
small can of corn
1 large can tomato sauce
1 can tomatoes (i used the ones with green chiles for an extra UMPH)
2 teaspoons oregano
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 can mild enchilada sauce
1 can Mexe-beans (make sure they don’t contain lard)
3/4 pound Mozzarella cheese, shredded or thinly sliced
2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
Saute onions and garlic in olive oil till soft and transparent.
Stir in everything but cheeses and tortillas.
Place a layer of tortillas in a baking dish.
Place 1/3 sauce over them and spread layer of ricotta, layer of mozzarella, 1/3 parmesan Repeat twice.
Bake at 350 (for 20 – 30 minutes).
I think it only took me about 20 minutes to prepare. I have oregano and parsley ready, chopped and and frozen so I only had to cut garlic and onions. And we almost always buy blocks of cheese and grate it at home. So much fresher and less preservatives this way.
Yum yum get you some! =)
Have an Eco-Friendly Christmas!
December 13, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Info You Want to Know
Christmas is a ’spendy”, no holds barred, extravagant time of year. I can’t speak for Kwanzaa or Hanukkah as I have never been 
around a family celebrating those, but I am sure they are too!
So here are a few ideas to help you keep your year long green missions in check, and not ruin all of the eco-friendly efforts we all do.
- Use LED lights. find these at any home shopping store. HomeDepot, Lowes etc. You will not only save eco-face but save money on your energy bill too! Send old strands of old school incandescent lights to HolidayLeds.com they will take care of recycling!
- Make your own decor. Use pinecones, acorns, sprigs from trees, holly. Anything that is pretty, festive and not destined to be around for the next thousands of years (plastic). String Popcorn and Berries for your tree. It is a great family project. My mom and I always did this while my dad and brother went out for the tree. (my favorite memories)
- Reusable Bags for gifting and shopping. Make your gift a two-fer! Give them a reusable Christmas bag. I got 3 nice, Christmas ones at TJ Maxx yesterday for only $2.99. And make sure you take your own to the stores too. or use Ecoration bags!
- If you feel guilty not wrapping, or want the kiddos to be able to actually unwrap presents (i love this!) make sure you find a recycled christmas wrapping paper. And please recycle all papers! Find at EarthLoven.com and GreenPaperStudio.com.
- Buy and use a real tree! Fake trees are no good. not at all. Petroleum based and in no way recyclable or compostable. Either get a tree with roots and plant it (this is what we did growing up) or take it to be made into wood chips and use those around the yard.
- Buy Eco-friendly gifts. Replace your lotion and candle sets with some of the organic and/or natural ones you have read about on Prissy Green. Buy Soy or Beeswax candles. Find at Dancing Dingo and my store, Prissy Green!
- Skip paper cards. Unless you use a family picture for your cards, consider a phone call or an E-card instead. Try and keep the over 2 billion Christmas cards out of the trash and recycling bins!
- Holiday Dinner? Think of hitting up your local farmers market for a free range turkey. Fresh vegetables and anything else they might have. Cheese, milk etc. Dinner will taste better, be better for you, and you will be doing your part so you will feel better!
- Kill the paper plates and plastic forks. If you just have to have some of those items, try shopping at LetsGoGreen.biz so you are getting the most eco-friendly and compostable varieties. Use code KRG20 to save 20%.
Chango Make a Little Money Off Your Searches
December 11, 2009 by Karissa
Filed under Info You Want to Know
I am trying not to add too many ads or links on Prissy Green, but frankly someone has to pay the bills right? And personally Kontera seems to be pretty slow.
Kontera ads are ads word links(two lines that under them) that is you hover on them a pop up comes up. And if you click on it you make me a few pennies. But they show to all of your readers.
Chango is ad links for search engine traffic. (try searching “Korres Blockbuster” then you will see Prissy Green at the top in Google, then look at that post. You will see the two lines under some words and some will be Kontera links and some will be Chango. I appreciate Chango for realizing I am not trying to spam my loyal readers. And of course I am not trying to spam my search readers (hopefully loyal readers soon) but again, someone has to pay the bills!
I have read a couple articles and Chango seems to be the new big deal and makes a better profit (if you have search engine visability)
So sign up under me! I would appreciate it! Ola- Chango!
If you don’t have much search engine visability, Kontera is probably still a safe bet, but if you do get search engine traffic you might want to try it out!
Chango is similar to Chitika (which is fantastic). Chitika ads are boxes below or after your posts that only display to search engine traffic.
If you would like to sign up to Kontera, you need an invite, please email me at karissag at gmail dot com and I will send you an invite!

Harry & David Giveaway *closed*
I am sad to say my review items haven’t arrived just yet. But considering I have nonched on a couple Harry and David Pears before, I am confident to say, my package will be nothing less then outstanding. Fresh and beautifully arranged.
I always remember their Pears being fresh and juicy, and no bumps bruises or blemishes to be found. I do know a friend who loves their chocolate covered gummy bears!
I won’t bore you with all of Harry & Davids green efforts, but wow, they are moving and cruisin that department. From cutting down on paper consumption since 2003 by 35%, to energy conservation. Plus they grow most of what they sell, so sustainable farming comes into play as well.
They even have organics!
Harry & David is far from being just Pears. They have baked goods, chocolates, home decor, salsa, jams and even ready to make baked goods. Make your own gift basket, or give them a price and you will get the perfect present anytime.
They have this amazing Fruit of the Month Clubs, that start at only $79! And right now you can get free shipping to go along with that by entering the code, GIVE at checkout. I would love a monthly gift like that! Who wouldn’t?
Harry & David would like to extend a marvelous Gift Code to one lucky Prissy Green reader. The winner will receive a whopping $250 gift code! AND the best news? Since it is a code, you can use it for the holidays!
To enter, visit Harry & David and tell me which Fruit of the Month Club you personally would most like to receive?

Destination Dinners! Review and Giveaway (Closed)
My Destination Dinner is for sure in my top 5 of unique reviews and items I would purchase again. We had a blast and we didn’t even drink any of the recommended Red Stripe!
Let me explain just what Destination Dinners is, and what they do:
The Greenest Way to travel the world!
Recipe Kits by Destination Dinners combine food, travel and beautiful design into an incredibly memorable gift. Seasoned chef or first time cook, our kits make cooking authentic international dishes fun and easy.
Each kit beautifully displays the pre-measured hard to find spices, sauces and dried items as well as step-by-step instructions, a shopping list for fresh ingredients and fun facts and trivia about the destination you are “traveling” to.
Craig and I reviewed a Recipe Kit, but they also have complete Dinner Kits that would be fantastic for a double date night, or to share with your kids. Although I do think these should be used for romancing! I do think kids would have a great time with the trivia, music and authentic vibe that comes in each dinner kit.
The Dinner Kits include specialty items like decorative bowls, forks, plates and then they get even fancier and more fun.
Each kit come with everything you need for your dinner except the fresh veggies, meats and any adult beverages that you may want. Spices, oils, tea, noodles, random dry ingredients for each destination and even woodchips are included. Plus a nice “fresh” shopping list of everything you will need. That is awesome! No more copying from the box! Everything is perfectly portioned, and all fantastic quality.
Another incredible feat that Destination Dinners has created is making most of their Dinner Kits- eco-friendly! Pressed Balsa Wood, Bamboo and other small factors that all make a big impact on our planet!
Destination Dinners also carries Gift kits. These would make great hostess gifts, wedding gifts etc. Each comes with a Recipe Kit, plus a unique gift, such as a bamboo cutting board, Thai Rice Bowl, etc. Everything is classy, put together, easy to follow and downright a novel idea!
Craig and I used our kit the day after Thanksgiving. We finished our leftovers for lunch. (boo hoo) and prepared the BOSTON BEACH, JAMAICA which included Jerk Chicken & Shrimp BBQ a Slow Grilled Caribbean Dish.
We actually grill out a lot so this was perfect. And it included woodchips for just the right smoky flavor punch. Now Craig isn’t a big veggie fan, so no veggies were grilled. (or bought, lol) so I ahem, made a can of corn on the side for me.
This is what ours looked like, minus the corn.
Before
After
I know, not the prettiest presentation, but it was scarfed. yes scarfed.
This is what the kit looks like.
Delicious I tell you. Although after looking at the picture, I have a hankering for Sweet Potatoes. That is usually the dish I make for Thanksgiving, but this year there were only 3 of us (compared to the normal 40-60) and I was the only one that would have ate them. =)
Destination Dinners wants to brighten and enlighten one Prissy Green reader with a Eco-Friendly Dinner Gift Set of their choice.
To enter, visit Destination Dinners and comment on which location that you would most like to taste-bud travel to! Find a list of locations here.

Wai Lana Review
Born in Hong Kong, Wai Lana has been teaching Yoga for almost 25 years across the world. And if it is yoga that is keeping her young, sign me up! Wai Lana only looks about 25 years old! Wai Lana Yoga can also be seen on PBS stations across the country.
Wai Lana learned at a young age that Yoga is a powerful tool for achieving physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. An age-old science originating in the East, yoga has become a #1 tool for keeping fit and reducing stress as Yoga does both.
Wake Up Body DVD will do just that. You will feel alert and energized at the end of the session. Your mind will be refreshed and your spirit awakened.
* Increase the flexibility and strength of all major muscle groups
* Improve your digestion and strengthen your abdomen
* Stimulate and massage your spine
* Gently tone your heart
* Increase circulation to your brain
- Customized Workouts
- One Asana at a Time
- Opción de idioma español (Spanish language option)
- Yoga Lifestyle Tips
- Quick Hints
To me this Wai Lana workout is different then most Yoga Dvd’s in the sense that she really teaches you why and what you are doing. It is more of a gentle hand holding then just telling you Yoga is magical, powerful and to reminding you to stand tall and breathe deep. The Wake Up Body DVD states it is for intermediate, but I truly think anyone could do it if they go slow. I didn’t find any moment uncomfortable. Although I am working on holding some Asanas. My balance is definitely not what it used to be!
Wai Lana’s gentle approach is soothing and just overall seems to be a more spiritual way of teaching Yoga then I have witnessed before.
Wai Lana also sent me something that I had surely been lacking in any true Yoga session. A mat! I have one that came with the Wii Fit but…. it sorta slips and slides all over our carpet. It is really thin. The Green EnviroMat I received from Wai Lana is durable, heavier and thicker. More plush but with support too. I can’t believe I didn’t realize before how much of a difference it can make. First it makes me feel more “professional.” sorta like when I was little and used to think I could run faster when I got new sneakers? That is how the EnviroMat makes me feel. It encourages me in some way to bend, breath and twist deeper. Power of the mind!
The Green EnviroMat:
- Earth-friendly (recyclable and ecologically degradable)
- Health-friendly (free from PVC, phthalates, latex, chloride, and glue)
- Superb traction for extra grip in poses
- Soft, supportive surface for optimum comfort
You can find a vast array of products for all of your and your families needs at Wai Lana, Amazon.com
and the price tag!
In case you can’t read it, it says compare at $80 and they have it for $39.99.
And don’t forget the kiddos! Right now is a perfect time to get them on track, everyone is staying indoors because it is cold, but we all still need our exercise to stay happy and healthy!
Eco Yoga Tote Kit for Kids! 20% off till Christmas 
Normally $42 marked down to $34!
Kit includes:
- Little Yogis™ DVD: Award-winning DVD delights the whole family!
- Little Yogis™ Eco Mat: Fun, colorful, durable, and completely free from phthalates, phenols, dioxins, and furans
- Cartoon Yoga Poster with 21 poses
