Flora's Baobites Superfruit Snacks

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own. 


Flora's Baobites Superfruit Snacks are packed with many healthy benefits and can be eaten on the go or in the home. They are made with Baobab, which is wild-harvested fruit from the African Baobab tree.  In the process of containing Baobob fruits, there is no freeze drying, heat extracting, or pasteurization involved, making these little bites spectacular. The fruit is harvested directly from the tree, where the pulp is then removed from a dried out fruit pod, where they then make delicious Baobites for fruit snacking, or the fruit is milled into powder to for easy mixing. These little pieces are rich in antioxidants, as well as containing Vitamin C, electrolytes, and fiber. They are Kosher, Organic and GMO Free, as well as Gluten Free, and Vegan; Making them great for healthy day to day snacking.

Plus, in purchasing these products, you not only give your body great nutrients, but also empower others to live a higher quality life. Your purchases are creating a sustainable income for women in Southern Africa, who harvest the Baobab fruit, while keeping a positive impact on the protection of the ancient Baobab trees.


The Baobites are very delicious little pieces of gummy fruit. I was a bit thrown off by their color, because they were brown and to be honest, reminded me of bunny poop lol. But I assume this is because they are more natural then typical gummies you find in stores. The overall flavor is great, a nice fruitiness, and the texture is perfect. Not too chewy, and leaves a nice taste in your mouth. Baobites are a nice little snack and pick me up, great for mixing in other foods such as trail mix, and maybe even cookies! But they are just as great, eating as is.


You can find Baobites available in three different flavors: Peach Mango, Blood Orange, and Pomegranate, and they are available for purchase on Amazon. Also visit baobabfoods.com for more information and products.

Cozy feet With YUEDGE Women's Antiskid Wicking Cotton Socks

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   With Winter coming, you will want thick socks to keep those toes warm! With the YUEDGE Women's Antiskid Wicking Cotton Socks your feet will be comfortable and cozy all day long. These socks are made of moisture wicking material to give adequate ventilation as well as being anti-bacterial. They have arch support elasticity to minimize friction and give support, as well as compressing to keep the sock secure on your foot without slippage.

 I love how thick and cushioned these socks are, making them really comfortable to walk in. Plus the coloring (in the gray/purple) is adorably mixed. I would prefer the ankles to be low cut, because they get itchy, but overall these are really great socks. The insides have a lot of threads, so they do cause sock fuzz between the toes lol. After some washes, it should help decrease that. But the comfort and support these socks give is really great and perfect for those cold nights. I think they would make the perfect socks to place in your families stockings for Christmas, or just socks to enjoy for yourself.  
Because who doesn't like comfy cozy socks?!


You can find the YUEDGE Women's Antiskid Wicking Cotton Socks available for purchase on Amazon in women's L, a shoe size 7-10.5, in a variety of colors. Around $8.99 a pair with free shipping.

Keeping Your Luggage Safe With Travelambo Luggage Tags

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

Are you preparing for a trip soon? 
Maybe a plane, train or bus ride to visit family? 
You should always make sure your luggage is labeled in case it gets lost! 

With the Travelambo Luggage Tags you can feel peace, knowing your luggage can be returned to you safely. These travel tags are perfect for adding to your backpack or suitcase for long travels. The fun design and durable material makes these the perfect addition to your trip. The space for putting your information can fit a business card perfectly, and it's secure with the attaching belt. I really love the squishiness of these tags, and their bright colors. The belts that attach the tags to your bag are a very soft leather, that seems to ruffle on the sides. When mine arrived, the tags looked a bit dirty, as if fuzz was on them, but with a closer look, I found that it's actually pieces of the leather that were ruffling off. I think this is natural with genuine leather though. All together, this is a great product for a great price of just $4.99 for 2. Many luggage tags you will find in the stores, cost this price or more, for just one tag! This is a much better deal, with a variety of tags to choose from.





















You can find the Travelambo Luggage Tags available 
to purchase on Amazon, in a variety of colors.

Drinking In Style With Eco-Smart Premium Glass Straws

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own. 


Are you a straw drinker?

I am one of those people who like to drink from a straw with nearly everything I drink, and over time, those disposables become a huge waste of money and aren't friendly to the Earth. So finding glass straws to use, that ARE reusable saves me money and is easier on the environment! It's a win-win.
Because the Eco-Smart Premium Glass Straws  straws are made of glass, I was a bit hesitant on them, because I was afraid they would break easily. But so far, they have been very durable and so much fun to use. Plus I think beverages taste better through these straws lol. It could be because I'm no longer tasting the plastic straws I usually use, or just because everything taste better from a glass lol. The only thing I dislike is the clanging noise you get, when you use the glass straws with a glass cup. Not a huge deal, but I'm not fond of the sound, though it is easy to ignore. I love that this package includes a brush so you can easily clean out the straws, and you can also wash them in the dishwasher for easy cleaning. I've done it a few times now and the straws come out as good as new. This is such a great product, I'm surprised I haven't been using glass straws sooner. My whole family loves them!

You can find the Eco-Smart Premium Glass Straws available 
for purchase on Amazon. They come in a pack of 6 for $13.99 
The straws are packed in a stylish box, great for gift giving.

Getting Ready For Halloween With #Tryazon and #GetUnreal Candy!

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

    With Halloween just around the corner, everyone is running to the store to pick up candy for all the trick or treaters! Reeses, Snicker Bars, Twix... though delicious, these candies are filled with many not so healthy ingredients. So why not buy a better option? The Unreal candies are just as good, and filled with ingredients that are better for you. Plus they do not contain any GMO's, Artificial Colors, or Preservatives, and they are Fair Trade and Gluten Free! Candy that tastes great and is so much better for you.
 

    With Tryazon and Unreal Candy I hosted a super fun party to get into the Halloween Spirit. Me and my guests had a Costume Movie Night, and enjoyed lots of delicious and healthy candies! We had the Original Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, as well as some new ones including Milk Chocolate Crispy Quinoa Peanut Butter Cups, Dark Chocolate Coconut Peanut Butter Cups, and little Candy Coated Milk Chocolate Gems. These candies are delicious! Very rich and creamy, they will leave you wanting more. I love that Unreal brings a healthier option to candies, and hold a variety of flavors to choose from. They are so good, look for them in a store near you, and fill that bowl with Unreal Candies for your own trick or treat stash this year!

Clean Brushing With Himalaya Botanique Complete Care Toothpaste

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

    In brushing teeth, it can be difficult to find just the right toothpaste you and your family want to use. So many pastes are filled with chemicals you want to avoid, and leaves your teeth feeling grungy even after a brush. I love trying new toothpastes, especially when they are made with ingredients that are better for you. I think I found my new favorite! A big thanks to MomsMeet, for introducing me to Himalaya Botanique's Complete Care Toothpaste. I absolutely love it!


The Himalaya Botanique Complete Care Toothpaste is made with an herbal blend of Neem, Pomegranate, Triphala, and Xylitol. The Neem Leaf was harvested from the world's most researched tree, found to be used in many things including keeping the mouth clean. Pomegranates astringent fruit extract helps tighten the gum tissue while Triphala gives clean teeth and a sparkling smile using a traditional three myrobalan fruit detox formula from ancient Ayurveda. It also contains Papain and Bromelain, which are enzymes from the Papaya and Pineapple, that help remove surface stains. And last, Xylitol is a tooth-friendly sweetener that supports good hygiene and gives this toothpaste a great flavor. This formula combines together to not only get those teeth clean, but also to help strengthen your gums and brighten your teeth. This paste is free of Carrageenan, SLS, Gluten, and Fluoride. It is available in several different flavors including:

  • Simply Mint
  • Simply Cinnamon
  • Simply Spearmint
  • Complete Care  Simply Peppermint
  • Whitening Complete Care Simply Mint
  • Whitening Complete Care Simply Peppermint
  • The Original Neem and Pomegranate

  I have loved trying each of these flavors. The toothpaste comes out of the tube smoothly and lathers really well while brushing. It gives me such a clean sensation while brushing, and it continues to linger after. The minty taste is better than a lot of pastes that I have tried. I love that there are so many good things about this toothpaste and that it is better for you then typical ones you find in a store. So far, my favorite Himalaya Botanique toothpaste flavor is the Whitening Complete Care Simply Peppermint. It has the perfect amount of mint and I just love how it makes my mouth feel. My teeth continue to feel clean even after brushing! Himalaya Botanique Complete Care are my new favorite toothpastes. 


Visit himalayantoothpaste.com for more products and information. You can also find them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. And if you can find Himalaya Botanique Complete Care Toothpaste  in your local stores, try a tube and see if you like! They retail for about $5.99 a tube.

Chips Ahoy Thins Cinnamon Sugar Cookies #Chatterbox

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

   
   As a member of House Party's Chatterbox program, I was able to try the new Chips Ahoy Thins Cookies. These cookies are currently available in two flavors: The Original Chocolate Chip and Cinnamon Sugar. I picked up a pack of the Cinnamon Sugar Chips Ahoy Thins at my local Kroger QFC Grocery Store.

In trying the new Chips Ahoy Thins Cinnamon Sugar Cookies, I found them nearly irresistible. 
The cookies are crispy and thin with a nice crunch and cinnamon-y sugar taste. Their flavor kind of remind me of snickerdoodles! My favorite part of these cookies are the white chocolate chips inside. They give it a nice texture and add to the sweet taste. These cookies are dangerously good, you can eat them all in one sitting, though I don't recommend it. 😉




You can find Chips Ahoy Thins available in several stores near you. Also visit them on Facebook at www.facebook.com/ChipsAhoy

MegaFood Kids Nutrient Booster Powders

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

Sometimes getting vitamins and nutrients in your kids diet, or even in your own, can be really hard to stay on top of. It often leaves you wondering if your kids are really getting all the vitamins they need to grow, especially if you have picky children! With MegaFood Kids Nutrient Booster Powders, you can make sure your family is getting those important nutrients, while keeping their immune system healthy.


   MegaFood has partnered with Kauai Organic Farms, Lundberg Family Farms, and Uncle Matt’s Organic to provide child-friendly powder that can be easily disguised in foods, while bringing them vitamins and nutrients. These powders are made straight from family farms, using fresh farm grown ingredients to help your family get that extra boost to keep your body going. The powders are made to be free of gluten, dairy, soy, pesticides, and herbicides. They also do not contain any sugars, sweeteners, flavorings, coloring or preservatives! The powder is easy on the stomach and digests well, making them good for children ages 5 and up. Here are the three MegaFood supplements that are perfect for kids:
  • Kids Daily Multi which promotes well-being and healthy development using organic turmeric, carrots, fresh fruits, and 23 essential vitamins and minerals per serving.
  • Kids Daily Immune features oranges grown form Uncle Matt's Organic, as well as elderberries and echinacea to help strengthen the immune system all year long.
  • Kids Daily B-Centered contains organic brown rice grown on the Lundberg Family Farm, which helps support mental focus, cognitive function, and a sense of calmness. It is formulated with a full spectrum of Foodstate B Vitamins to help support healthy physical and mental energy levels.

The Mega Food Booster Powders for kids are an excellent way to get your little ones those needed nutrients. The powder is easily dis-solvable so it works well just by adding into a drink or smoothie. Another option you can do, is disguise the powder in all kinds of delicious treats! Add the powder into muffins, pancakes, waffles, eggs, pasta...the options are endless! I have only tried the powder in a smoothie, using 2 scoops, (for a child's size, only 1 scoop is needed) and I have to say, I could really tasty the vitamin powder. It shocked me how powerful the taste was. I guess I was assuming I wouldn't taste it at all lol. Just makes me wonder how well you can hide it from a highly picky child. The flavor was very vitamin-y and added a kick to the tongue. But I can't wait to try it in other dishes. It should disguise better in baked goods!

I love the idea of getting these extra nutrients, especially around the Winter season, when not as many fruits and vegetables are in stock. This will not only keep the immune system up, but also add in a healthy take on our family meals. One thing I want to point out though, is how small an amount of powder are in these jars. I was shocked to see it less than half way filled! But once opened, the powder has to be used up in 3 months, so I suppose that is why. Overall, this is a great product.  I'm excited about that extra dose of healthiness I get to share with my family!

Speedy Coffee With Nescafe Classic Instant Coffee Powder Sticks

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

If you're in a rush and need a quick way to have a cup of coffee, Nescafe's Instant Coffee Powder Sticks allow you to make coffee in a breeze. Heat up a cup of hot water, add in the powder, and some sugar, stir, and it's ready to go! Super easy and great on the go.

I love the convenience in these little Nescafe Classic Instant Coffee packs, but upon trying this particular product, the flavor was just too bitter. It has a distinct taste that I can't seem to point out, but a little less like coffee than it should. The bitterness was too hard to drink through, as is, so I add two scoops of sugar. This didn't help. But I do find that I enjoy drinking this coffee when I mix it with a pack of hot cocoa. I get the chocolatey hot cocoa taste, with a hint of coffee, and at that point, the strange bitterness is gone. My favorite part of these little packs, is definitely the convenience, but I feel the flavor needs some improvement. Though it disguises well in hot cocoa!

You can find the Nescafe Instant Coffee Packs available on  
Amazon as a set of 15 sticks for just under $8.

Swift Home Premiere 1800 Collection Microfiber 6 Piece Sheet Set

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own. 
 

   Looking for a new set of bed sheets? The Swift Home Premiere 1800 Collection Brushed Microfiber 6 Piece Sheet Set is one set of sheets I can recommend! These sheets are made to last, with durable microfiber and flexible elastic for the best fit. Their deep pocket fit can work with mattresses up to 16", available in all sizes Twin through Cal King, in a variety of colors. These sheets are said to be wrinkle resistant and hypoallergenic, great for those with sensitive skin or allergies. Perfect for crawling into after a long day!

   With that said, I absolutely love these sheets! I was hesitant on purchasing them, because I've had sheets before that weren't very great, despite the reviews. But so many people were claiming how these were the softest sheets they've felt, so I thought I'd give them a shot. I also wondered about the color, because in many photos, the gray had a bit of a red tint. This is only in the photos though for some reason. Must be a strange light reflection. I can assure you my sheets arrived completely gray :) I absolutely love the dark gray color, and their softness is amazing. I would say they are probably the 2nd or 3rd softest sheets I've felt. The first were 100% Cotton, and Egyptian Cotton; But these are right up there with them! They are extremely soft and feel great to sleep on. I love that they also include not just 2 but 4!!! Pillowcases! So you're entire bed can match lol.

   Right from the package, these sheets feel baby soft to the skin. I feel like they might have lost some softness after washing, maybe because I hung dried them, but they are still very soft. They also stay cool which is good for warmer nights. It's also great that these sheets are available in several colors so they will match any decor. I would say this set is worth the price. A Good go-to set if you need some more sheets! I love them! The only thing I would say that could be a problem, is they are not wrinkle free as they claim. This is a problem for some, but I don't really care. The softness and quality is all that matters to me, and these sheets definitely have both of those qualities! <3

You can find the Swift Home Premiere 1800 Collection Brushed 
Microfiber 6 Piece Sheet Set available on Amazon for $25.99 
and they come with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.

Skinology's 100% Arabica Coffee Shampoo and Body Wash

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.

 
I love the smell of coffee and know of it's amazing benefits so having a coffee soap to use as a bodywash, shampoo, or bubble bath sounded amazing. Skinology's 100% Arabica Coffee Soap is
 U.S.A. made with 100% Pure and Natural Arabica Coffee Beans and premium quality ingredients
 including Meadowfoam Oil, Vegetable Glycerin, and Vitamin B5. It does not contain any parabens or artificial colors. It is cruelty free as well as FDA approved. This soap is full of antioxidants to 
help soften the skin while moisturizing, and aiding in a youthful glow. It is also said to help reduce wrinkles, cellulite, age spots, stretch marks, eczema, and so much more!


In receiving Skinology's 100% Arabica Coffee Shampoo and Body Wash, it was packaged nicely,
without any spills. I opened the lid to inhale the coffee aroma I had anticipated; But it didn't quite
 smell of coffee, it more has a caramel type smell so that was kind of disappointing. It's not a
bad smell, just not what you would think for a coffee soap.
 
In using this soap as a bodywash, it lathers really well and left my skin feeling soft. I don't like how much it stains a loofah sponge, but that's to be given, seeing that coffee does stain lol. Using it as a shampoo was a little different, because it's more liquidy than I like my shampoo to be, but it still lathered well and got my hair clean. There's no lingering smells in using this product, which is good because I don't really want to smell like faux caramel. One thing I dislike is that this product contains Sodium Laurel Sulfate. This product is very harsh on the body, and makes my hair fall out like mad, so I cannot use it as a shampoo. I would love if this product was a little more natural, and if it smelled more coffee-like. I think the name should be changed to Caramel Cafe or something like that, to match the actual smell...

You can find Skinology's 100% Arabica Coffee Shampoo and Body Wash available in an 8 fl. oz. bottle, for purchase on Amazon. It comes with a 100% Money Back Guarantee.

Ragu Homestyle Thick & Hearty Traditional Sauces

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own. 


I have always been a lover of Ragu's Pasta Sauce, but in hearing
 they had a new homestyle sauce, I couldn't wait to try it! 


   The Ragu Homestyle Thick & Hearty Traditional Sauces are made from fresh ingredients, peeled, chopped, and simmered to create a robust and bold texture. The Homestyle flavor gives off a "made-from-scratch" taste, making your meal taste like a family tradition. It is made without artificial colors or flavors, and does not contain high fructose corn syrup. You will find that this sauce hugs to the pasta, giving you an overall higher quality of taste. One of the best pastas sauces out there.



Thanks to MomsMeet, I was able to try Ragu's new Homestyle Sauce with my group. I made a Chicken Parmesan and Sausage Pasta Casserole, as well as sampling the pasta sauce itself, and we all enjoyed each taste tremendously. The new Ragu Homestyle Sauce exceeded our expectations in flavor, making it taste like a very homey, comfort food dish. This sauce has a bold flavor and perfect consistency, making it great for pasta's, pizza's, casseroles, and more. 

Definitely a new favorite!


 You can find Ragu's new Homestyle Sauces  available in many grocery stores near you. Visit them at ragu.com for more information and products as well as a spot to search their location to purchase products.
