Tyrrells English Chips Review & Giveaway



My review I got to sample some delicious, unique potato chips called Tyrrells English Chips. I received the following:


These English Chips are very unique & different. I've never had these sorts of flavors on a potato chip except maybe the sea salt & cracked black pepper that isn't new to me & the sea salt & cider vinegar. All the rest are new to me. I first tried the Mature Cheddar & Chives. I'm a big cheese fan when it comes to chips. I just love that flavor, and they were really good not to sharp with the cheese but just right & the chives give off that extra taste they were really delicious. I absolutely loved the others that I was formilar with; with other brands & that was the Sea Salt & Cider Vinegar, delicious my grand pop is a big fan of that flavor so I gave him some in a bag & he enjoyed them a lot. I love the Sea Salt & Cracked Pepper I love to dip them in sour cream (: My husband liked the odd ones that I didn't care for to much & they were the Sweet Chili & Red Pepper along with the Worcestershire & Sundried Tomato!

Coconut Secret Review


For my review I was asked to choose two products to review considering I already tried two other products before I wanted to try something different that is the whole point if you get my drift, so with that being said. I chose Coconut Nectar & Coconut Flour from Coconut Secret. I wanted to mix it up a bit. I chose the Coconut Nectar because my husband loves that sweet irresistible sweetness, so does my son too. We really loved it on our waffles my son ate all his he likes to dip his of course cause he doesn't like any sort of dips touching his foods "like mother, like son" (:

Although I haven't really used the Coconut Flour except for in my smoothies that I made like every other evening. It taste so good in my Strawberry-Banana smoothie, and I only use about a tbs. On their info page for the Coconut Flour it says it's used to thicken gray I might try that on mashed potatoes or something like that. I think that might be good because I love gravy.

What's most important to me in these products is that they are Gluten Free & Vegan!

Castagram Review

 Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review. My opinions are my own and may differ from yours!

I received an Custom Case from Castagram I got the iPad 2 case. They have 2 great layouts to choose from. I obviously chose this layout above in the pictures. I thought it was more simple & cute. I didn't own any other of their devices so that is why I chose the iPad 2 for my mother. I would have loved it they had Kindle Cases because I own a Kindle, but they didn't. When you get started you choose your device, than a layout they are different layouts for different devices. You than choose your layout, effects, color background. Simple & easy!

 Here is a side view of my mother's iPad case. I did have some concerns about the iPad 2 case and I will show some examples below.

 The picture above where the arrow is at the left side snapped in perfect but the right side had some difficulties and didn't latch on and snap into place which I have no clue why. This is designed for a iPad 2 case, so a little worries there.

The part that wouldn't latch on to my moms iPad 2 case! Overall though I loved designing the case it was really fun & you get to put your own pictures on a case which is awesome my mom loved it. Also this retails for $54.95 I think that is a little bit pricey in my opinion.

Crossbody Tech Bag- Ipad & Tablet Case Review & Giveaway

For my review I chose the Crossbody Tech Bag in Leopard Print from FlipFold. I was extremely happy to receive this product in the mail because just around the corner we are going to Florida and I wanted something safe for my Kindle considering I don't have a case yet. I love animal print so I thought my choice was excellent (:

What it looks like without anything in the pouch.

What my Kindle looks like in my tech bag. It really is snugged when I put it in there is flaps that you have to actually lift up so you can adjust your Kindle right or IPAD if you decide to use that as well. It fits perfectly in & I am so excited I have a little cute crossbody bag that I can take with me to Florida so it doesn't get ruined or anything.

This is what the upper zipper pouch looks like inside. You can store maybe some earphones, charger, etc. I really love my Crossbody Tech Bag & I can't wait to use it more with my trip. I am very pleased with it.

Sprout Organic Foods sent me a couple of products to review. The first set I am going to be talking about these awesome Fruit & Veggie Crispy Chews. To be honest I really loved them myself (lol) especially the Red Berry & Beat. It has a bitter sweetness to them, and my friends kid Justin he absolutely LOVED them. He kept coming back for me. Although I will be taking the rest of them with my to my Florida road trip & my son will munch on them hopefully he likes them as much as me & justin did (:  



The second set I was sent some Sprout Organic Veggie & Meat Entrees. I also gave these to my friends son Justin, and she said that he didn't like them very much, but every child is different with different meals so I wouldn't just base it upon him.

My Amazing Blow Dry Secret Review

For my review I was sent a Shampoo & Conditioner along with a Quick Dry Shake’n Spray from My Amazing Blow Dry Secret. I really love the bottles they are pink & it's a fun & pretty product. Very eye appealing! I also never heard of this product so I was very excited & happy to try them. Like any other ordinary shampoo & conditioner I love their smells & the way it massages through my hair. It feels nice, and makes my hair feel really silky & I love that feeling. I absolutely fell in love with the shake n spray I put it in when my hair is wet.

Beauty Be Natural Review



Tummy Tight Kit: Non Surgical Tummy Tightening
I received this kit from Beauty Be Natural called Tummy Tight. My kit includes the following: Replacement or Additional Tummy Tightening Serum, Tummy Tight Premium Compression Wrap.

It's always good to try different products instead of going "under the knife" for surgeries & stuff. It will leave scars, and sometimes difficult things can happen & that seems really scary for me anyways, so I had the chance to review this Kit, and I was really nervous at first because I didn't think it would work but it does it just takes time for it to actually work. I have been using it for a month now & I have seen some results. Although I don't feel comfortable taking pictures of my body just take my word for it (:

Simple Steps I used to use my Tummy Tight on my stomach & arms

Step 1 - Soak your compression fabric rolls in the slimming solution which is the blue bottle.

Step 2 - Wrap the compression fabric around your tummy or any body part you are trying to do for instance I did my stomach/arms. Wrap as tight as possible but let it be comfortable for you as well. You'll wait 60 minutes and while your waiting maybe take a walk or do some moderate exercises.

Step 3 -  Remove your compression fabric. You maybe notice immediate inch loss, but for me I didn't really notice any, so everyone may be different! Repeat treatment after 2-3 days. If you are looking for maximum inch loss like me, Tummy Tight every other day until you have achieved your desired result (:

It's quality you can taste in every piece. American made, famous for deliciousness, with the friendliest customer service - since 1921 . . . to read more about See's Candies click here  


 I selected a few things from See's Candies to review. I was so excited when I got this in the mail because I love chocolate #1 and second off I used to work in a Nursing Home called Medford Leas so there was this one lady Marcy her family would send her these Lolly Pops & I figured out what they were called because she had the box and she gave me a few to try & boy were they good, so I was really formilar with them. Anyways back to what I got for my review are the following:



 These are the Milk Butterchews they were so beyond delicious. I've never had a better butterchew than See's they were so chocolatey & the caramel was just so good. I was in heaven with these & these were gone within 2 days considering I shared some with my son & my husband.

I could literally munch of these all day they were that good!

My son having a Butterscotch Lolly Pop from the Assortment I received he liked his a lot he loves those little butterscotch candies so I figured he would of loved the lolly pop, and he did. Other flavors besides the butterscotch are Vanilla, Colombian Coffee & Chocolate.

Me sucking on a Root Beer Lolly Pop these were really good it really did taste like an actual Root Beer soda. I gave some to my mom because she loves Root Beer Barrels so I knew she would love to suck on one of these while watching her TV shows.

The assortment chocolate box there were some really yummy chocolates and the dark ones I gave to my husband. It had some creamy milk chocolate confections such as cream, nuts & chews. It was a good mixture of different chocolate to try.

 Last, but not least I got to review this awesome graduation hat from See's I was so excited because my brother just graduated 8th grade, and it's so exciting yet so sad they are all growing up way to fast! Anyways I thought this would be a cute gift to give him along with some $$$ (:

My brother Chad.


Overall I loved everything from See's Candies they have such an amazing line of different products that is well organized on their website from Chocolates to Special Occasions & more.

Earthlab Cosmetics Review


Our vision at Earthlab is to have women around the globe using a pure makeup that is actually healthy for their skin. One that will not completely absorb into the skin and that is completely free of additives, fillers and preservatives. We feel women shouldn't have to deal with clogging pores or irritated skin from wearing their makeup . . . to read more about Earthlab click here


I was sent a Vegan Mineral Pencil to review. I requested the Black, but they do have quite a few other selections besides black. To be honest I've never really heard of Vegan make-up before, so I was really excited to get to try this mineral pencil. I absolutely love eyeliner so I have to have it on 24/7. They are super soft & it glides on easy as you put it on.

There was absolutely no smudging either which was terrific (:
One of the good reasons why I love their products is because they DO NOT test on animals! Also they have No Parabens, No Chemicals, and it's truly natural make-up. I think I will have to start buying my make-up at Earthlab Cosmetics for now on!

Premio Review

Premio Real Italian Taste

Premio Foods has been passionate about making fine Italian sausage for decades, and continues the tradition in our family today . . . to read  more about Premio click here


Premio sent me a product to review I got the Premio Hot Italian Sausage. My husband was kind enough to get 3 shots of this product he knows I get a lot of stuff to review while I was out one day he decided to make this for lunch without me knowing anyways my husband loves hot foods & he loves sausage so it was a good combination put together. He just made it by himself but added whatever as I will show you in pictures below!

 My husband Edward told me he cooked in the frying pan all of them together nice of him to save me one, huh! Men! It's okay though because I don't think I would of enjoyed it much as he would of I don't really like hot sausage.

He put pasta sauce over top of the sausage & it looks like he added some shredded cheese on top as well. Looks delicious to me, but man can my husband eat. I guess it's with all men eating a big platter. I always tell him portion size sometimes he gets mad at me and tells me to hush up, oh well. I tried! Overall he liked the hot sausage a lot.

Take a look around Premio website & look at what interesting Recipes they have. The most appealing one that I came across was the Tortellini Soup looks so delicious & yummy.
