Review of PB Crave
I am always looking for new snack ideas for the kids after school snack. So when I was offered the opportunity to review PB Crave I jumped at the chance. Me and the kids love peanut butter but unfortunately I did not like any of the flavors we received, my husband doesn’t like peanut butter and the kids only liked the cookie flavor called Cookie Nookie. I think they would be really good used in baking and will update this post when we use them in our desserts. I could see these being really tasty if used in peanut butter brownies and cookies but as a family we just weren’t…

Review of AquaChef & PerfectChop
Have you ever bought a cutting board and found that it was badly stained by the end of the month or that your knives caused cutting streaks through it? I hate that. It is one of biggest pet peeves. So I was really excited when I was offered the opportunity to review a PerfectChop Cutting board plus an Aqua Chef cooking system. I have to admit though, I did not have high hopes for the PerfectChop because every other cutting board I have used has stained. Why would this one be any different. Read on to find out if the PerfectChop held up to it’s claim that it does not…

Disclosure: for our review and guide I received samples of each of the products I talk about in the in the picture (except the fruit and veggie, I bought those) and I was not compensated. I needed to be able to sample each product to know if they are good enough for my readers! I hope you find some good products to try out of this sampling. School…

Review & Giveaway of DAILY’S Tropical and Light Frozen Pouches #DestinationDailys
DAILY”S Tropical and Light Frozen Pouches came in handy during our recent girl’s night in. I had been extremely stressed all week so it was nice to get together with the girls, have a little drink and just talk about our lives. The kit arrived and inside I found a beach bag stuffed with a towel, sun glasses, a DAILY”S drink cup and gift card to go buy the drinks. So I headed to the store to pick up my frozen pouches. DAILY”S has 4 tropical flavors and 3 light ones. In the Tropical I was only able to find the hurricane flavor. In the light I had better luck…

Review & Giveaway – Skinnaturals Collection by Skinn Cosmetics
Rarely do I find a product that I like so much that I am willing to pay full price for. Skinnaturals Collection by Skinn Cosmetics is that product. I hate to admit it but I am now a Skinn Cosmetics user for life. I’ll tell you why. I have suffered from horrible acne, reddening of the skin and rash like breakouts my entire life. They say after you turn 30 the breakouts are supposed to stop. That wasn’t the case for me and they might have gotten worse. I have to be careful about the type of products I use. They can’t contain fragrance or oil and they need to…

Review of Thera PEARL Shin Wraps
My husband plays soccer several times a week and he always comes home in pain, every time. It never fails that the pain generates in either the shin or ankle area. In rare instances the top part of his foot will hurt. He’s often kicked in the shin, requiring ice to reduce the swelling. It was exciting to receive a pair of shim wraps from Thera PEARL. We had never heard of this brand before but my husband was definitely interested. We like that you can pop it in the microwave and not have to worry about it melting. Believe it or not but I’ve actually experience a name brand…
