I received 4 delicious bags of Plentils from Enjoy Life Foods to review. The four flavors I was sent were Light Sea Salt, Dill & Sour Cream, Margherita Pizza & Garlic Parmesan. My favorite was the Dill & Sour Cream because it tasted like a sour cream & onion chip, but these are most defiently crunchier with more flavor and they are very light snack. My grand pop loved the Light Sea Salt & Margherita Pizza one. I still have some of the Dill & Sour Cream left over and the Garlic Parmesan. I like to dip them in hummus.

I received two products to review from Skin Authority I received the Redness Relief & Bamboo Ginseng Scrub.

When I purchase body wash I usually tend to get the scrub over anything else why because the scrub have a nice and softer touch to my skin not only do I love the smells of them it always leaves me skin feeling soft & smooth and I just love that feeling on my body. I love the aromatic essential oils it has in some products as it does in this scrub. It feels great & I love this product so much. It also saves me time from putting lotion on after my shower.

The Redness Relief didn't quite to anything to my skin. I put it on around the areas that I usually scratch at or pick at which I have a bad habit of doing and it seemed to possibly irritated it more, so I did leave it alone for a little bit. I may use it again if I get the same reaction I'll probably pass it on to somebody else.

Pure Yacon Syrup Sugar Substitute Review.



I received this product called Yacon Syrup it's a natural sugar substitute that contains multiple other benefits as well as a tasting good. I've never heard of Yacon Syrup before but the benefits in using this product seem very interesting and makes me want to try it even more. It's good for Natural Weight Loss, Supports Good Digestion, Helps Speed Up Your Metabolism & Natural Alternative Sweetener.



It's like a syrup texture and looks a little bit like honey but not quite. They also have a Yacon Syrup Diet which seems pretty skeptical to me anyways. Yacon Syrup is high in prebiotics as well. I don't really use sweeteners all that much I hear they are really bad for you but some people who are elderly use them to because I work in a nursing home and sometimes they use sweet & low but not so sure if that is the same thing. I am all knew to this as well. What I do like about and was reading up on it is that it's high in fiber and I do have trouble going to the bathroom sometimes so I try to eat a lot of foods in fiber and I did also have a test done for cholesterol and I am happy that it can lower that as well. Good for diabetics because it also helps lower blood levels my husbands side his grand mom is a diabetic and would love for her to try some of this too. It's good to use this product three times a day only having one teaspoon. Although I do not like the smell of this at all I do put this in my water or OJ whichever you prefer that is.


I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Zotos Review & Giveaway


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!


Zotos International was incorporated in New York City in 1929. Their revolutionary discovery, controlled chemical heat, gave way to the machine-less permanent wave. Since it used no electricity, it was both safer and more comfortable. Previously, machines with electrified rods curled a woman’s hair . . . to read more about Zotos click here
 

I recently contacted this company called Zotos to review on my blog. I love trying out new hair care products for my natural curly hair so I was sent the following to review Moisture Recovery (shampoo & conditioner) the Miracle Repair Damage Eliminator Treatment (this is the hero product) and the Total Tamer along with Intense Hydrator Discovery kit. I was so stoked to able to review this many products and to see what their products are all about and to see what a difference my hair felt and looked.
 ------------------------------------
I have two separate hair do's for when I used each product. I will list the order and tell you about each one and what my hair looked like. Hope you enjoy!
 180PRO Moisture Repair Shampoo: This product description is mainly for groundbreaking technology gently cleanses dry, damaged hair to deliver exceptional hydration and repair up to 2 years of hair abuse! Me I used to straighten my hair a lot back in the day I just loved my hair being straight because my curls did give me a headache sometimes I was sick of natural curly hair but boy do I regret it because I look back at pictures and I do miss my curly locks. So that is one of the main reason why I liked this shampoo cause it helps bring my curls back to life a little bit not as much as I would have liked but enough.

180PRO Moisture Repair Conditioner When I use condition I usually let it sit in my hair for about 5-10 minutes while I wash off my body with soap etc... What's different about this product from other conditions well their is sorts of proteins and conditioning agents are drawn to damaged areas and makes our hair more stronger and it's all color safe.

180PROTotal Tamer Foaming Smoother: The Foaming Smoother I use just as a regular basic hair care product like my gel and moouse products and hair spray, but I try to stay away from gel unless it's a good brand and hair spray I only use a little bit along with the other products I have, so this foaming product is a real great product and I love the way it makes my hair feel at the end when it's dry.

I really love the Foaming Smoother it made my hair feel soft and maintained my frizz a little more and it just held everything together and I am in love with this product!
Intense Reconstruct Discovery Kit: Shampoo & Conditioner repairs while gently cleansing and conditioning severely damaged, overprocessed hair. Formulated with ultra-reparative Pro Peptide complex to target your hair's worst breaking points and actually improve your hairs condition with each use.


Intense Reconstruct Shampoo: Lather. Rinse.
Intense Reconstruct Conditioner: Apply to clean, damp hair. Rinse.
Miracle Repair Damage Eliminator™ Treatment: Apply a quarter-sized amount to clean, damp hair. Style using heat for best results.
Caution: do not ingest.


Miracle Repair Damage Eliminator Treatment: With this product I simply use about 4 pumps on my clean but damp hair and I apply it to my ends and work my way up to my roots so it says to do on their website I may use about 5 or so pumps not a lot but I need enough to do my hair and I have a head full of hair. Overall I like this product just as much as the Foaming Smoother.


Overall satisfied with my results for 180 Pro Zotos really am loving your products and I can't wait to try out more of your hair care products along the way but first will use up all my other products of course before purchasing anything else!

In my family I like to have healthy products I always buy Wheat bread all the time I never buy white only my grand-pop does but I give my son Wheat and myself I just think it taste much butter than regular, so I was recently send some products from Canyon Bakehouse to review on my blog. The following items I got were 



 We first tried the Mountain White Bread we made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich it was tasty but the bread to me wasn't good at all I guess the texture because it was Gluten-Free I just am not used to gluten free products or bread for that matter it taste a bit different and weird. My husband was not a fan of it either.

The second one my husband tried was the Cinnamon Raisin he had it with butter. In my opinion I think it would of been better with some peanut butter and honey on top. The Cinnamon Raisin one isn't so bad it taste really good and my grand-pop really loved the cinnamon raisin one as well so we kept that one the others we gave to my sisters friend Abigail she has to eat all gluten-free so she appreciated and was glad to try it as well.

 There is a few more products that are on their website that I didn't get to try but you can view for yourself and take a look around below:

This was absolutely all mens stuff because I wouldn't like anything here except maybe I would have tried the peanuts but I was a little skeptical with everything my husband is willing to try everything and anything so this is a great box for him!

 I did end up trying these two products above. My husband loves jerky so he was really thrilled to try it and he loved it. Me I am not a fan of jerky never really was.

The Toasted Coconut Chips were okay wasn't really a fan but my husband liked them so that is all that really mattered to me. 

There is a few interesting products that I received in this Mantry box was pretty interested in some of them and I looked at the recipes they have on their website one of them being  

Thai Basil Margarita - looks very tasty defiently have to have my husband try this and make it I wanna know the results sounds good.

Apinya Thai Chili Wings - The wings sound good and I could always use a bit of a kick in my foods.

River Of Goods Review & Giveaway


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!

At River of Goods, we are truly passionate about products, people and places. Drawing inspiration from the rich history of the cultures and cities we visit all over the globe, our expertise lies in sourcing, designing and developing unique lighting, home furnishings, decor accents, and area rugs. We are the largest importer and wholesaler of Tiffany styled lighting, and our quality of work shows in each piece.


I love different and unique lamps and I have to set that it's really much easier switching the light on and off by a switch but it's more convenient too with a power switch to click on and off. I did get to review this lovely lamp called Mini Tiffany Style Lamp. I love the word mini because it really is a mini lamp and it's very lovely. I love the colors and design on it it's very different from other lamps I've seen and I am happy to have this one because it's not to big and not to small but just the perfect size for my dresser.

 Up close of the lighting of the lamp with the many designs and different colors. I have to say this gives off a lot of light for a petite small lamp which is great. 

I'm waiting to get a mirror above my small dresser so I can touch up and do my hair and make up and with this lamp being right there it's the perfect lighting.

 The switch to switch off and on!

Soothie Suckers Review & Giveaway

Soothie Suckers
After struggling for years watching my four children suffer through innumerable colds, sore throats, runny noses, and other seasonal ailments, I was determined to find alternatives to over-the-counter drugs and antibiotics . . . to read more about Soothie Suckers click here


I think this has to be the coolest most great product of all time. What kid doesn't like summer popsicles and believe it or not what kid wouldn't know this is a soothie sucker they should make these for medicines because I know some kids don't like the taste of some flavors and it would be so much easier to just say "hey, want a Popsicle" lol they wouldn't know what is coming to them. On that note, I received 2 boxes of Soothie Suckers to review. One of the boxes were for Nasal Support the other was Immune System which flavors are orange & grape.


You know what's cool that you can take them as an adult as well. I also love this product because there is no artificial flavors or high fructose. I try to stay away from high fructose as well because to much sugar is bad. Me & my son both tried some just to see what they tasted like and I did explain to him what they were and he was still willing to try them and they taste really sweet. We both loved the Orange (:

Stitchworthy Bags 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!

Stitchworthy Bags is an at home business by a military wife. Bags are custom made per the preferences of customers. Bags generally start at $20 per bag but the price rises from there depending on fabric choices and dimensions. 



Okay for some of you that do not know me. I have a big obsession over purses. I have about 50 of them. I love all sizes but mostly I love handbags that are big and bulky. I get a lot of compliments on my bags and it makes me happy. I know what styles I love and dislike. I don't order so much purses online because I just don't know what they will actually look like when mailed if the website has various pictures of the inside and out than possibly I will order it. Just like wallets they have to have tons of pictures of the actual inside and out of the product before I buy. I know I am somewhat picky when it comes to that sort of stuff, but I want my money's worth so with that being said. I was offered to sample a bag from Stitchworthy Bags. I was sent the chevron in yellow & white.

Al though I really loved this bag it just didn't fit with me it was to short when I had wrapped it around my shoulder so my sister Abby really liked it so she is modeling it for me and she ended up asking if she could have it and I said yes. It does look like a summery handbag but the material is extra soft and comfortable that was my first instinct when I felt the bag and it is a small bag and especially small in the inside so another reason why I let my sister keep it.

Baby's Journey Review & Giveaway


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!

The Baby’s Journey Team has over 15 years of history working together in the juvenile industry. We’ve estimated close to 20,000 diaper changes between us and as a result, we can relate to what parents go through every day . . . to read more about Baby's Journey click here 



Having a child is a lot of responsibility not only that it's a lot of money to have a child especially if you have more than one child. My friend has 3 kids and I wanted to get her something for her to be more organized and prepared for when she has to change the baby or change her diapers, etc. I chose this Always Ready Changing Center to review on my blog.

(picture above from their website)

You need to keep all your changing essentials near you at all times especially when they are first born you always and constantly are changing diapers from left to right and just having a handy wipe to address them if they spit up, etc.


She decided not to use the stand but if you were to use the stand you can let it sit on a dresser or a changing table whichever you prefer. I think this is a great product to gift as a baby shower gift because it's neutral and can be for a boy or girl.

New Purex Crystals Aromatherapy 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 was chosen to participate in the Insiders promotion of Purex and I was sent the New Purex Crystals Aromatherapy. The New Purex Crystals Aromatherapy is the latest Purex Brand experience. The scent smells marvelous and I could not be more happier with the product that I was sent to review. It's like fresh blossoms it smelled wonderful with it all blended with aromatherapy essential oils.



I am constantly doing laundry for myself and my son and sometimes do it for my husband but I figure I have enough on my hands as it is so I let him do it himself. Depends because he works full time and I work part time but still he needs to manage to do some things on his own as well and on top of that always doing wash clothes and bath towels it gets to much but I do it everyday so it doesn't build up. I have to have a good scent while doing my laundry because I love the extra softness and smell as well, and that is something that I have to have and the Aromatherapy is really nice and smells wonderful. I love this product and the crystals are a very beautiful color as well. My clothes felt extra soft and smelled really wonderful when they came out of the dryer.

Freekeh Foods 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 was sent three packages of Freekeh Food to review on my blog. I was sent the Original, Rosemary Sage & Tamari.

I've never heard of Freekeh products before so I am assuming you are all wondering what Freekeh is so here is a little description of what it is -

Freekeh was created by accident nearly 2,000 years ago when a Middle Eastern village was attacked and their crop of young green wheat was set ablaze. Most folks would sulk over their misfortune, but the crafty villagers rubbed off the chaff, cooked it up and "Eureka!" Freekeh was created. We're proud to offer you this tasty, nutritious ancient grain with a funny name.

Very interesting about this product but it's really healthy and can be added to almost anything you'd like to put it in. I would mainly put it in soups, salads and they have plenty of recipes on their website which you can check out as well.

The Rosemary Sage Freekeh is good with chicken and other meats depends what you want and what you like. I do like the extra crunch when it's salads, and it gives a nice taste with the seasoning.

Warm Freekeh Salad

When I make a nice dish from their recipe page I will post a picture (:
