I couldn't wait to try out these products that I've received from  Nature's Gate  for review! Some times all you need is to pamper yourself after a long day. These all natural products are fantastic for that and sure do make you feel less stressed and radiant! I've heard of their products before and was just dying to try them out! Natural toothpaste cool mint gel : Cool and refreshing mint flavor making my teeth shine and kissably clean!

Two Fold Foods Review!

Image
Lately I've been on a smoothie kick and have been blending up my own at home which is more healthier. I add all kinds of toppings on top whether it's a Graham cracker or granola! There's something about granola that I love it goes great on anything! Two Fold foods  sent me samples of their scrumptious granolas and savory nuts for a review ! What I love about their products is that they don't have any names in them that are hard to pronounce like some on the labels of our favorite foods. They make their granola in small batches with the finest ingredients such as: Coconut Black pepper Cashews Quinoa And so on Classic granola: I thought that this was just a plain old boring granola until I tasted coconut! With the delicious sweet taste of cinnamon and vanilla along with the nuttiness of the nuts the coconut flakes really kick it up a notch adding flavor! Worked perfectly on my breakfast consisting of a banana cheesecake smoot

Now I've done reviews for scrumptious candy bars before in the past and let me tell you I love chocolate! The cool thing about this company I will be reviewing today is just awesome because the cool thing is that you get to design your own candy bar! You start with milk chocolate, dark chocolate or white chocolate and get to add all kinds of delicious ingredients on them such as nuts, candies, fruit even cereal! I know right pretty cool! You can also order their best sellers too! I couldn't wait for them to arrive to bite into them and see how they tasted! Just being on Choccreate website made me want to lick the screen! Lol but don't worry, I didn't. I chose: Dark chocolate bar with:  almonds, blueberries, caramel and granola it was so delicious!

Since summer has come to an end I've been feeling very creative with recipes to cook up, not sure if it has to do with the change of season or what! It all started with the popular website called Pinterest, I tell you it's addicting!  You can spend all day on there looking at all kinds of recipes, crafts and all kinds of things! I've been on a smoothie kick lately and have one each morning for breakfast, and holds me over till lunch. Fall food finds: Went to trader joes and such the other day hunting down the famous pumpkin Greek yogurt but couldn't find any, I found some other pumpkin products though! Apples Pumpkin patch cookies Pumpkin butter Pumpkin pie Lara bar Pumpkin cream cheese Pumpkin spice granola Some of these products would go great in a smoothie or even on a bagel! I also have one for dessert or an after workout recovery! They are simple to make and oh so delicious! Apple pie smoothie: All I did was dice up

Polar insulated water bottle review!

Image
The most important accessory during a workout is water because it rehydrates you and keeps you moving, am I right? True there has been times I've exercised without water, which isn't good. Now I can sweat at the gym in style with these two water bottles that I've received from  Polar bottle  . I also got to pick my own designs that I wanted to review! I chose the ergo flower candy and the purple big bear bottle , they are beautiful and the best thing about these water bottles is that they are insulated meaning you can use either hot or cold beverages in them! Whether your a coffee, tea, soda or if you just want water in it then these bottles are for you! They go along great at the gym or on a hike! They are easy to grip onto for a quick drink!

Kashi Hummus Crisps Review!

Image
I was so psyched to get this campaign on bzzagent to test out Kashi's hummus crisps! I absolutely love hummus whether it's paired with veggies, on a sandwich or crackers it just brings out the flavor and can really spice up your food. These crisps are great because their savory seasonings and seven whole grains make snacking guilt free and also the hummus is baked right into the chip! How awesome is that!? I received the sea salt and olive oil flavor and it was simply delicious! Right amount of spices and the olive oil taste wasn't overpowering. You can even dip them into a small bowl of your favorite hummus as well!

Mrs. Glee's Foods Review!

Image

These delicious prepared foods I was sent for review courtesy of  Mrs. Glee's  gluten free foods uses the navy bean for the base of their ingredient in their foods being high in fiber and nutritious as well! Best part of all I got to pick what I wanted to review! What I chose: Pizza crust Alfredo noodles Brownie mix Oatmeal cookie mix Other products: Navy bean flour Rigatoni Elbow macaroni And more! Alfredo noodles: I can't remember when the last time I had Alfredo noodles was especially one that's more healthier for me. The best thing about these noodles was that it didn't have the cheese added in just like they do in the pasta side mixes so you have to get those creative juices flowing and whip up your own cheese sauce or if your not a cheese eater you

Coffee cake Connection Review

Buttermilk coffee cakes baked to perfection for your enjoyment made by  Coffee cake connection  . I have tried coffee cakes before and loved them especially when I would pack them in my lunch as a treat when I was a little girl! Just waiting in anticipation for lunchtime to come around to unwrap the coffeecake and take the first bite. Not sure if it had to do with the cinnamon crumbled on top of the cake that made me love them as a kid. Over the years they've perfected the coffee cake by adding other ingredients such as luscious berries and  chocolate. How awesome is that!? When I came across Coffee Cakes Connections site online and saw the different varieties of coffee cakes they offered I just had to review them! I couldn't wait to try them because I've only tried the plain old coffee cake many years ago and especially when I heard they had ones with chocolate in them!  Serving suggestions: Pop the coffee cake in the oven for a bit g
