FITzee Foods Review & Giveaway


Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I receive complimentary products for review purposes. All opinions are my own.



A FITzee is a busy professional, entrepreneur, mom, dad, athlete, weekend warrior, fitness enthusiast, and anyone else who seeks a nutritious, delicious, great-tasting alternative to the world of over-processed fast food. A FITzee believes that the path to living well is through eating foods that give you energy & taste great!
 


I was sent a sampled package of FitzeeFoods to review on my blog. This is all the above small packaged meals I was sent over. I was so surprised how much was there because I love eating small meals throughout the day. I was able to choose 14 small portioned meals and I chose the following:

The numbers indicate how many I asked for considering I have a family of three and I wanted to at least try the good ones like my husband. I knew my son wouldn't want any or like them because he is a picky eater like myself. I enjoyed a few of the ones listed above and one was just a bit to "spicy" for me. My husband enjoyed them all of course. My husband loves food and he isn't a picky eater at all!

The top one was the Red Chicken Enchiladas & the bottom one was the Paleo Turkey Butternut Chili. I thought the chicken enchiladas were amazing and delicious. I would recommend them as a first pick when choosing FitzeeFoods. The inside was filled with delicious shredded free-range chicken breast, corn, black beans, green onions, and tomatoes,topped with a Mexican cheese blend and red enchilada sauce. Although I am a picky eater I did not taste the green onions  and tomatoes so that is a plus for me. I only had a bite because I chose this for my husband😦I did end up taking two bites though because it was so good.


What I like most about this company is that you don't have to cook anything so whenever you want or are hungry you can just heat it up in the microwave. I love that they have small portion sized, medium & large. I want to definitely look into this more after the holidays and purchase more because my family loves it and so do I. I love how there is no subscription needed which is always good because if you don't have enough funds at a different month in time there is no worries that you will be automatically billed. Worry Free & Stress Free.

 The Pumpkin Spiced pancakes were very good. Although they were a bit to thick but still very tasty. I had them plain with syrup on the side and my husband added butter and syrup on top of his.

FITzee Foods are fresh and not frozen they never have preservatives or additives, and they use free range meats and local produce. Very Healthy!


Giving Nutrition a Makeover!
We provide healthier versions of American Classics that makes the easy choice the healthy choice. Unlike grocery shopping, prepping, cooking and cleaning, FITzee Foods saves your precious time, money and waistline. FITzee Foods products appeal to most dietary needs such as paleo, gluten free, and dairy free. Whether you want to lose, gain or maintain weight, the name of the game is portion control. A healthy diet is not just about portion control, it’s also what’s in the food that counts. FITzee Foods provides a variety of meals from paleo spaghetti to red chicken enchiladas to paleo BBQ pork.

I personally don't like cooking all the time I think it's just a hassle for myself and I never know what to cook turns out I am not like my mother with the good jeans in cooking for the family which kind of stinks because my mom is such a great cook. I love to cook don't get me wrong but there are days when I feel blah or just have so much going on that day and don't feel like doing anything. I can always think of FITzee Foods cause it's convenient and easy and healthy. I'd love to have this as a meal plan everyday or every other month because it's probably a lot cheaper then buying local groceries at the supermarket in my honest opinion.

Little Ondine Review


Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I receive complimentary products for review purposes. All opinions are my own.


 LITTLE ONDINE is a premium water-based nail polish. Non-Toxic. Odor-Free. Peel to Remove. Cruelty-Free & Vegan-Friendly.



First of all I love how cute Little Ondine sends you there nail polish in a cute petite black box and is then filled with some confetti strings and a nail filer and a nail stick "not really sure what it's called" but it's handy and easy to use. These would be great for gifts.

 These are the four colors I was sent from Little Ondine to review on my blog. I have to say that these are beautiful colors and I really like them all. From left to right I received Secret Top Base, Peek-A-Boo, First Love & Back To Black. These are all such great colors. I really fell in love with the blue colored one which was the peek-a-boo. These nail polishes are really nice and they have zero smell to them so no chemicals while your painting your nails and inhaling the bad smell. It is water based too so when applying it feels nice and smooth and rubbery. I love the top base which gives your nail a bit shine effect and we all love that it's nice and looks pretty.

 
I did a top base with out and with and you can see the difference in the picture above. It really works. Little Ondine nail polish dries pretty quickly as well and I like that a lot and you'll want to apply two to three layers of the nail color to really get that nice even color, or if you like it light you can apply two layers whichever is easy and to your liking.

 This is great for people who are on the go and have to switch up a nail color in between shows or just normal people in general. Great for parties too I think, but after what I experienced having the nail polish on for a day or two I saw some wear and tare and maybe that is normal not really sure because I am always doing something with my hands/fingers so it starts to peel off already from the tips of my fingers. It's very easy to peel off other wise. I simply use my fingers to peel off and throw away.

 

Is this something you'd be willing to try out? I know the nail colors are $12.99 each and I don't think I will be buying more collections for that price just my general opinion. I honestly don't think it's worth it, but you can always buy 1 or 2 to try it out. Also the top base doesn't work with any other nail polish just Little Ondine nail polish!

Basic Invite Review


Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I receive complimentary products for review purposes. All opinions are my own.


Basic Invite

Located in Saint George, Utah, our small and passionate team has been creating the perfect card for every event since 2006. Through the development of unique technology, we're able to provide you with limitless options that allow you to instantly create a card that is truly unique . . . to read more about Basic Invite click here



I was recently introduced to a company called Basic Invite which is a online website to customized your very own invitation cards for any occasion. I decided to go with Holiday/Christmas Cards considering it was almost close to that holiday at the time. I never really have had the time in the past to do Christmas cards always said I wanted to but never actually ended up doing them. Now that we have our own home it's more easier to do things rather then living with your parents and siblings it was just hectic. Anyways I was sent a code for check out to use towards 40 Basic Invite Cards. 

The themes I couldn't really decide which ones I wanted and kept going back and forth a few times. I ended up choosing the style Merry Everyday Holiday Cards. I chose this one because I liked that it had text in the middle portion of the card and then I got to fill in two spots top and bottom. I decided to go with a colored picture and then a black and white on the bottom. What I also love about there company is that you can manage your own font style/font color and even change the decorations/clip art color as well. Something that is more to your liking and it makes it more fun that way too.

You also got to choose your Envelope Liner I just made my simple with no liner but you can choose other options for that. The style Paper for the actual card itself I chose Smooth Coated. I decided to go with a Square trim. I liked the Holly Address Option which I will show you in a bit, and the Envelope Color I did white again keeping it simple.

(right click view image, if it's too small & click open in new window to see)
Again an option if you needed to make any last minute adjustments or wanted to change something that you forget you can always click to edit before actually ordering your cards. That is a definite handy tool to remember and very nice to have as well.


My finished project of course from Basic Invite I love my customized Holiday Cards they are just too perfect and I love how they came out. Very well made and nice. I would order from them every time and for any occasion you can think of they have it. Customized is the best way to go for myself. I love to decorate my own cards and be creative. I also am in love with the Contacts which you can have printed on the Envelopes which is so handy and convenient because I have horrible handwriting sometimes when writing out addresses. I had a rough time in the beginning importing them but got the hang of it eventually you just have to play around with it for a few tries. I highly recommend that tool because it's amazing and they do cute fonts/colors. It's just wonderful. I loved it!

 Here are all the cards that were mailed out. The Holly which is the address, but mainly where it has the leaves and berries and says Deliver To: I chose that style. I liked it a lot.

 Another great handy thing about Basic Invite is that they have the peel and stick for the closing of the envelopes which was AMAZING. This company surprises me and is great. I hate envelopes where you have to constantly sit there and lick the thread of the envelope to seal it, it would drive me nuts and my tongue would get a paper cut it seemed sometimes, LOL. Anyways thanks Basic Invite for making it so easy for me to seal the cards😊 Your are simply the best!

Overall everything from this company was an amazing experience and I know who I am going to do my next occasion cards next time. I hope that some of my family/friends look into this company and love them as much as I do. It's a wonderful company and I can't wait to see what is in stores for me next time. Thanks

Banggood Review


Disclaimer: I was not compensated for this post. I receive complimentary products for review purposes. All opinions are my own.



Banggood was founded in 2006, specializing in computer software research and development. Focusing on foreign trade e-commerce. From there it developed into an online retailer for almost everything you need for living and entertaining. We have 4 offices, one in Hong Kong, one in Shenzhen,one in Hangzhou, and one in Yiwu . . . to read more about Banggood click here

I recently was sent the Women Nylon Waterproof 3 Interlayers Shoulder Bags Casual Shoulder Bag & Portable Multi-functional Travels Card Ticket Holder Wallet Purse to review on my blog from Banggood.com. If you like to travel like myself these two items are a MUST have and really great to have while cruising or just simply traveling with your family/friends.

This shoulder bag has three inter-layers which I like because I can store my husbands wallet in the smaller portion zipper part and then my phone/some money and other belongings while we are out exploring. I also love the fact that this bag is waterproof from rain if you accidentally spill a drink on it on the table or just on yourself. It's safe. I love how light the bag is and the material is very nice and well made. You can adjust the length of the straps to make it a long mid-waist or neck length whichever is more comfortable to your needs. 
 I like my shoulder bags/cross body bags long so it came to my belly line like mid waist area which wasn't to bad. I wish it was a bit more longer to like my thigh length, but the waist will do which is a great length for walking as well. I chose the color purple something different other then my favorite color pink. I cannot wait to use this for our Cruise Trip in February along with my new Passport Wallet Holder that I also received from Banggood.
 I am loving this so far. I haven't gotten all my paperwork together which I will soon in mid January so I just took a picture with it with my passport for now until I get everything ready and situated. This item is very special to me now because it's designed for cards and tickets, which is easy to carry with you at all times while traveling as well. Simple on the go to take out any important documents/papers at the airport, etc.
Mine verses the bottom:

(from website)
You can just see how many slots are in the above pictures, so you have an idea of what goes where and you can manage all that yourself. I love that it has a zipper for easy use and won't loose anything or nothing will fall out. Everything is stored and neatly secured.

I am excited to have this wallet purse and I can't wait to start putting some important papers in it soon for when we get ready to leave NJ and fly away on a amazing Cruise oh the joy of life. I love traveling. I also got this in pink and they have many other colors to choose from of course too. This is very cheap and very well worth every penny. If you are a traveler like myself this is 100% ideal to have with you. I may even get one for my mom because she usually stores all important documents/papers in a folder. Oh Mother! I must get her one of these for her Birthday in July. She also loves to travel like myself and most of the time we go on vacation/cruises together.

Lugz Review & Giveaway!


"Disclaimer: I received this product complimentary for testing purposes."

No automatic alt text available.
Lugz product is aggressively styled using the highest quality materials for maximum durability and superior comfort. Our footwear features premium leathers and durable construction. Everything is designed with the fashion forward customer in mind. Lugz has expanded beyond boots and has added casual shoes, sandals and athletics to the mix, and the brand can be found at major retailers across the country.


For most of you who have been reading my blog for some time. I've partnered up with Lugz yet again for a review. They are the best shoes ever I just can't get enough of them honestly! I am reviewing a pair of Women's Tambora WR in the color of White/Gum from Lugz of course😊 I chose the color white because I have a ton of black shoes and tan/beige so I figured why not white. Plus it's the winter time and these go along way. When I had these on for the first time at our new home my mother in law was amazed at how lovely they were and she immediately said "I need to get a pair" which hello who wouldn't want a pair of these amazing, comfortable and cozy Tambora shoes.

These comfortable Tambora boots are utterly comfortable I guess because of the plush faux fur lining and inside as well it just keeps you cozy and warm throughout this cold winter. Good for the snow too haven't made it to the snow yet but when it does I'll be sure to wear these. I only have one concern though while driving with these I am not used to big and bulky boots so that is the only downfall, but I am getting some use to while driving with these boots. My mom needs a pair of these to keep her feet warm during the winter while going out because she has Lupus and Reynolds and her hands and feet get numb and loose feeling so this would be good for her.

These are also water resistant which is great too. I couldn't have asked for a better pair of boots these are my go to for sure.

Katie Favors Review & GIveaway


"Disclaimer: I received these products complimentary for testing purposes."

At Katie Favors you'll find affordable gifts to purchase at her Etsy store. You'll see some things like Magnets, Bottle Openers, Pocket Mirrors and much more that are all handmade and make great gifts for anyone! 



I was really excited when I came across Katie Favors on Etsy. I love handmade gifts that mean a lot to me and by doing so I wanted to get a few handmade/customized magnets for my fridge. We had just moved into our new home not to long ago and my fridge was looking pretty empty without anything on it. Katie made me some wonderful customized magnets which I adore so much and I just love what she does. I love small businesses like this because I can purchase and tell my friends/family about her and Christmas is coming up and there is just so much to be thankful for and she is having some sales at her Etsy store for the holidays😊



I was able to pick out some goodies from Katie's Favors and I ended up choosing a few selected things from her Etsy shop. I received the following items to review on my blog.


This is the Personalized Floral Pocket Mirror which I thought was really cute and I just had her personalize my name and put Tara on the front. I really love this and it's a cute little circled mirror I can just toss in my make up bag or on the side of my MK bag which have side pockets, so I love this a lot and couldn't be more happier with my decision.

 Most Official Looking Bottle Opener. I had to get this because we usually are out and about over friends house or at my parents or at the house ourselves and if I want a nice refreshing beer or whatever I may have I can simply use this key chain bottle opener for myself instead of searching high and low for a darn bottle opener in my cupboard. We all know we have been there and done that several times.

 My customized photo magnets I just absolutely ADORE the most. These are great and I don't know how she did it but I would love to learn how to do these. They are amazing and they are always on my fridge. Yes I have a potbelly pig and she is my best friend. I love animals so much just as much as I love family!

 I can't wait to order more Customized Photo Magnets. They make the best gifts and best holiday gift or just a simple house warming gift too. There are many ways you can gift these amazing handmade favors. I love them all and the ones that I received💗

Lila Wines Review


"Disclaimer:  All the opinions given, good or bad, are my own. The product is only used by me or someone in my immediate family. I received this product free of charge for an exchange for my honest review and they are 100% my own opinions. I received no compensation for this review."



Lila Wines is a first-of-its-kind collection of premium wine packaged in bright pop art inspired cans for on-the-go convenience and portability.


I received two flavors of Lila Wines to review on my blog. I have to say I am kind of a in and out when it comes to wine because some wines give me headaches while others simply don't. I hate red wines my husband loves red wine. I like fruity wine. My favorite so far to drink is Verdi Raspberry. My husband will drink any type of wine as long as it's to his needs and taste good. I was skeptical at first to try Lila Wines because the word Rose I just thought of flowers to be honest. Pinot Grigio sounded nice because I've heard of that wine before.
 
They are cute petite size Wine in a can for on the go but not necessarily on the go because you can't drink and drive but great for parties and having a get together. I tried the Pinot Grigio and it tasted okay it wasn't the best wine that I've had but it was slightly okay for me. On there website they describe it as Mellow and round with breezy aromas of tart green apple, citrus and wet stone. Not really sure how to absorb all that but I did taste the green apple not being so tart though but having a strong taste to it. My taste buds might be different from others so don't base this on an awful decision, try it you may like it.
 
 Lila Wines 4-Pack: Rosé, Provence, France
For the Lila Wine Rose I thought was really nasty not my average cup of wine at all. They describe this flavor as Light, Crisp and aromatic with aromas of fresh watermelon, strawberries and a hint of minerality, this Rose is dry and refreshing with lingering flavors of red berries and orange peel. Okay not really sure what to think about that because I didn't taste of of those sorts of flavors in my Rose what so ever!
 
Wine just isn't by thing really unless it's Verdi. I think I am just going to stick to Verdi and abide any other Wine selection for now on. Unless my husband can enjoy these other wise. It's a shame because I really would have loved to taste all those fruit flavors in the Rose which makes it sound so tasty.
