Tropicana Vitamin C & Zinc

Image
If you are looking for a healthy beverage alternative to start your day off then look no further. I was glad I had the opportunity to try out this new Tropicana Vitamin C &Zinc. What I love about this juice is that although it provides 3x more Vitamin C than regular OJ, it still tastes great and provides the same fresh quality flavor like the original. I have been incorporating this beverage to my morning routine and I have noticed a difference in my overall feeling of being alert and feeling energized. What I have noticed is that when my body feels a little run down I have made a habit of drinking at least 1 glass of this OJ and I truly do feel a lot better. I do my best by trying to take enough vitamins that my body needs but I love the fact that this is an easy solution that will supplement and add to my overall health. I have always been a huge fan of the Tropicana Pure Premium beverage so I was not surprised that this one still provides the same freshly squeezed tast

Freschetta Pizza #FreschettaDifference!

Image
If you are looking for something tasty, quick, and easy to make that the entire family will love than you have to try Freschetta Pizza. The Pizza that I had the opportunity to try was the Freschetta Natural Rising Crust pizza. First I want to mention how easy this is to prepare. Anyone that is on the go or in a hurry can just pop this in the oven at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes and that's it. Totally easy to do but the thing that impressed me the most was the taste. This pizza is absolutely delicious. The flavor and freshness of the cheese and pepperoni is premium at its best. This pizza can stand up to any restaurant. What I love about it is that with each bite you get the perfect ratio of quality cheese, pepperoni, and sauce. This particular pizza features the rising crust. I normally don't eat the crust on the pizza but this time around I did. My goodness you can taste the freshness of the dough which is superb. I wish I had some extra sauce just to dip this in.

Tazo Tea Review

Image
I had the opportunity to try out Tazo Tea for free thanks to Tazo and Smiley 360 and I have to say that this is extremely delicious. Tazo tea comes in many, many, flavors as well as many varieties. You can get the traditional tea filter bags, K Cups ( I was not aware of this until recently ya), and latte to mention a few. There are various hot teas available as well as ice. Also they have flavors such as green tea, chamomile, and pumpkin spice. So far I have tried out the  Vanilla Caramel tea as well as the English breakfast tea. I absolutely love it. What I love about both is the flavor. The taste is very rich and decadent. I love the combination of the sweet and spicy elements that I can taste in the Vanilla Caramel. The English breakfast tea is a traditional classic tea but yet still very unique in flavor. What I also appreciate about the brand is that each tea will tell you the level of caffeine available without the guessing which is great. I also appreciate tha

Apple and Eve Organics Influenster VoxBox #PurelyOrganics #QuenchersAdventures

Image
If you are looking for a healthy alternative with no added sugars or artificial flavoring then Apple and Eve Organics should be your choice.  Created in the early 70's Apple and Eve have been creating healthy and great tasting juices that the entire family can enjoy. I was able to try out a different line of their juices for free from Influenster and Apple and Eve so that I can share with you my thoughts on some of their beverages. My family were familiar with their original 100% apple juices and we loved it! I was unaware of some of their other juices (their organic line) like their Organic Quenchers. The quenchers come in a variety of  unique but awesome flavors. The packing is great to put in your families lunch boxes. They provide a healthy alternatives rather than soft drinks and are at an affordable price. The juices that my family tried out were the Apple and Eve Organics orange pineapple, the razzberry apple splash quencher, and the berrylicious lemonade quench

Kuuk Silicone Ice Cube Tray (Twin Pack) Review

Image
This is my first experience having silicone ice trays and I have to say that I am not turning back. Each of these trays make the perfect size ice cube. Each tray also holds 15 ice cubes. There are several reasons why I happen to love these trays: They are smaller than your traditional trays and take up less room They make the perfect size ice cube each time Easy to remove cubes thanks to the silicone No cracking or damage to trays Machine washable I really happen to enjoy these products and plan on getting additional due to its great value! #KuukSiliconeIceCubeTray For more information regarding this product or to make a purchase please visit here .  I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Air Vent Mount Review

Image
I had the opportunity to try out this car mount and I have to say that I really love it.  I have been on the market looking for something that is adjustable yet sturdy and this simply does the trick. I have a Samsung Galxaxy S3 and it fits nicely in the mount. I love that the mount can be adjusted any which way that you want as it depending on your preferencence. So easy and no assembly required. Fits right into your standard car vent with no problem. The most important value that this mount allows you to have is hands free access as we all know and understanding the importance and safety of this. This device has helped me a lot as I sometimes use the GPS app on my cell phone./ Well worth it. #AirVentPhoneMount I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.

Easy@Home Digital Basal Thermometer Review

Image
I had the opportunity to receive this Easy @Home Digital Basal Thermometer and I have to say that I am truly impressed. When I received this thermometer in the mail I was impressed by the way it was packaged. It comes with its own secure storage case along with detailed instructions on proper uses for the device. It also came with a chart so that you can write down and keep track of your temperatures. I was also quite surprised and pleased with the features of this device. The thermometer can hold up to 60 temperature records in its memory. It also has a built in alarm so that you can take your temperature the same time every day to ensure accurate readings. What I also love about this is that when you are taking your temperature there is a little beep that goes off that lets you know that it is done and the results are ready. Furthermore, I appreciate that it has an easy to read display that also consists of a light. Overall I am extremely pleased and impressed w

NEW Kozy Shack® Indulgent Recipe

Image
I had the opportunity to try the KozyShack Dark Chocolate pudding and it was definitely a treat. I had never even heard of this pudding but I had the chance to try it because I am a member of BzzAgent and they (as well as KozyShack) allowed me the opportunity to try it for free in exchange for my review. What I love about this pudding is that it is made of premium ingredients. The proof is definitely in the pudding!!! The pudding tastes rich but not heavy and is absolutely divine. Its great for a snack or on the go!!! I was also shocked by the price. Very affordable and worth every penny. You will also appreciate the unique recipes not found in other puddings as they are original from salted caramel to vanilla bean. Well worth a try on your next trip to the market. I know I found my new go to pudding!!!

Luxe Beauty Essentials Large Microfiber Hair Towel

Image
This is a wonderful soft towel especially created for the hair. The towel is made of terry cloth material that is extremely absorbent as well as gentle on the hair. You don't have to worry about tons of water getting all over you after washing your hair as this towel is large enough in size to have your head  completely protected as well as help assist you with drying your hair in a much faster time. I also love the fact that because of the material, I don't worry about it pulling my hair out as the material of the towel is very soft and gentle. Not at all harsh to the hair. I have used this towel several times and I am completely satisfied and believe that it is well worth the investment!  #luxebeautyessentials I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Dr. Pergolizzi's OxyRub Pain Relief

Image
So my husband and I had the opportunity to try out the Oxyrub by Dr Pergolizzi and I am very pleased with this product.  This product comes in the form of a white cream with 4oz in each tub. You rub it on the area that you are experiencing aches and pains.  The cream is not too thick which is great and not messy to apply. It has a light pleasant scent. It smells a little like peppermint. My husband and I both used the cream on our backs. When you first apply the cream you feel a cool like sensation. The cream doesn't burn or irritate the skin which I am extremely happy about. It's also not strong, like other known brands, in the sense that it does not cause your eyes to water or be irritated from the smell. My overall opinion about the rub is that it works really well. It penetrates into your muscles and does a great job in re-leaving pain. For more information about this product please feel free to visit here .  If you are interested in trying this product

Easy@Home 3 in 1 Non-contact Infrared Thermometer

Image
I had the opportunity to try out the Easy@Home 3 in 1 and I happen to really like this product. The product comes securely packaged and also comes with a case for easy storage. The Thermometer comes with a very informative handbook that gives you step by step instructions on how to use the product as well as proper care. The instrument itself is very easy to use. All you do is scan the infrared thermometer in the direction of the forehead and that's it. You will have your temperature (in whatever measurement you have selected Celsius or Fahrenheit) within a second. I have used this product several times (on myself, my daughter, and my husband) towards the forehead and received the exact same temperature reading. The readings that I have received have been very accurate. The thermometer also allows you store and track your readings in its memory. The device has a large LCD screen for easy and clear reading and works with only two AAA batteries. Overall I do believe that

FlavFusion 25 oz Infuser Water Bottle

Image
Drinking water has always been important to me except for the simple fact that I hate to drink it. So when I heard about these types of water bottles that have a compartment that will allow you to flavor the water via a filter/infuser, I was all for it. A few weeks ago I received the FlavFusion 250z Infuser water bottle. I was immediately impressed with the size of the bottle as this will allow up to 3 cups of water. I was also impressed with the design of the bottle as it has a safety lock to help in securing the lid so no spills would occur.  The most important thing that I love about this bottle is that it allows me to add fruit or veggies to my water. Fruit like lemons and oranges are a great source of vitamins that everyone needs. This bottle helps to act as an assistant/supplement in providing some of the important vitamins that our body needs but in a favorable way. Most of all, it makes that boring water taste better once your favorite fruit is added. It makes drinki

Ultimate Smile Professional Teeth Whitening

Image
I have been in the market for quite some time for a teeth whitening system. I have tried teeth whitening toothpaste but I find that it really doesn't get my teeth as white as I want them to be. I have also tried strips but they always slipped off my teeth and were very uncomfortable. This teeth whitening system comes in this very nicely packaged box. It comes with 2 containers of the whitening gel, the teeth molds, and a case for the molds. I have been using this product for about a week now and I really love it. I have noticed a huge difference in my teeth just after 3 uses. What I love most about this as that it is extremely easy to use. Its not as messy as I thought it would be. The second thing that I love about this as that it is extremely comfortable to use. I don't feel awkward or uncomfortable as the mold fits perfectly in my teeth. Last but not least my favorite overall thing that I love about this as the price! Extremely affordable and worth every penny. I

Head and Shoulders Moisture Care System

Image
The Head and Shoulders Moisture Care System is designed to combat flakes, dandruff, and dry scalp while at the same time  providing needed moisture. This is a 4 part system that includes the Co-Wash, 2-1 shampoo and conditioner, and scalp soother. The 2-1 shampoo and conditioner did a good job in washing away all of the dirt and grime and left my hair smelling fresh and clean. I liked the lather that I got from this as a little goes a long way. I also liked the ingredients like vitamin E, almond oil, and coconut abstract. The one concern for me about this product is that although it did do a good job of getting my hair and scalp clean I did notice that for me it did not do a good job in providing as much moisture back into my hair than I was expecting. I have very dry hair to begin with and I am looking for products that will not dry it out even more. I noticed after using the 2-1 that my hair was very  hard to de-tangle. For the past few months I have been using products

The Adovia Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub

Image
The Adovia Dead Sea Salt Body Scrub is an invigorating scrub that makes your body feel fresh, smooth, and clean. The scrub comes in a clear white and blue container with a grey top. The packaging is really elegant. I have used the scrub while taking a bath and used it all over the body and have focused special attention on the feet. I really enjoy using this scrub. It does do a great job of peeling away the dead unwanted skin. The first thing that I noticed about the scrub is the smell. it has a light delicate smell that is fresh and clean. When I used the product, I could feel the little tiny beads exfoliating my skin. It didn't feel rough at all. It made my skin feel smooth. I really liked the way that my skin felt after each use of the product. My skin definitely felt hydrated, conditioned, and smooth. The only issue that I hope that they can address with this product is that it can be a little messy. When opening the product you may notice that there is a blue like oil t

Spoga, Mop and Broom Organiser

Image
Recently received the Spoga broom organizer and I happen to love this product. What I love about this product is that it has 5 slots with adjustable ball inserts that allow for easy placement of your household items such as brooms and mops. This is a great product for easy storage and organization. I love the fact that I can place all my household cleaning products in one place and keep them off of the floor. The organizer also has hooks that you can use instead of placing items into the slots. I love the versatility of the product. You don't have to just use this product for brooms and mops, you can use this product for anything from hats, robes, coats, rakes, to umbrellas. Overall I think that this is a great product to purchase that will help in organizing your space and making your life a little bit easier. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Portable Charger +LIFEGUARD MINI 1

Image
This portable charger is a great device that allows you to feel secure in knowing that you will never be without your phone. The charger comes with two plugs that fits most smart phones, ones like the Samsung Galaxy and one for apple devices. I have used this charger for a couple of weeks and very much like some of its features. One feature that I happen to like is that when you are charging the portable device it had a red LCD light that lets you know that it is charging. Once it is done charging the light will go off. It also has another blue light that is displayed when you are charging your other devices. The blue light also goes away when it has fully charged your device. I have used this device on my Kindle Fire tablet and my Samsung Galaxy S4 cell phone and I have to say that it works well. My devices are usually charged up and ready to go within an hour. I also like the design of the charger. I have the one in hot pink. I like the fact that I can put it virtually anywhere

Laundry Bag With 2 Inch Shoulder Strap

Image
I had an opportunity to try out this Laundry bag (color was blue) and I have to say that I am a huge fan. The bag comes with a huge strap that you can place over your shoulder for easy carrying and has a draw string that keeps your clothes tightly secured so that it doesn't fall out. I let my daughter use the bag as she is a college student that comes home during the weekend to do her laundry. We have been looking for something in place of her carrying her laundry hamper and garbage bags to transport her laundry back and forth and without her making several trips to her car. We were pleased with how much she could place in this bag. She would usually have her hamper and 3 small garbage bags to bring her clothes and now this bag has replaced all of those bags. What we were also pleased that once all her clothes were placed in this bag it was easy for her to transport around. She only need to make one trip to our basement where the washing machine was and one trip back to her ca

Hydracentials Stylish On The Go Lunch Tote

Image
The Hydracentials Stylish On The Go Lunch Tote bag is great a lunch bag that provides style and functionality. The bag is insulated to keep fresh food fresh! It is a large size bag that allows you to comfortably place your frozen entrees,sandwiches, a couple of water bottles and snacks. What I like about the bag is that it has enough room for two lunches, its insulated, and has a lot of room. There is a zipper on the bag that helps to keep your food securely placed in the bag. What I also like about the bag is that it has a pocket in the front that allows you to place accessories such as condiments, napkins, and utensils. The handles on the bag are also a plus that allows you to comfortably carry your bag on the shoulder. I have been using this bag for several weeks and I really do like it and feel that this a great product that is worth the investment. I had the opportunity to obtain this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion.

Adovia Dead Sea Mud Facial Mask

Image
I was extremely excited to try the Adovia Dead Sea Mud Facial Mask. I have heard that this is a great product and I wanted to try it for myself. When I received this product, the first thing that I noticed (and was impressed with) was the packaging, It comes in this clean and sleek looking white a blue packaging. It contains 5.1 fl oz. A lot of product. Already impressed. The reason why I was interested in trying this product is because I have really dry and flaky skin and large pores. I have been looking for products that I could incorporate in my skin care routine that would provide moisture, relief, and would help in addressing these issues. In reading the packaging, I learned that this mask contains ingredients like Jojoba Oil, Primrose Oil, Olive Oil, Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Vitamin C & A to mention a few. These ingredients work together to help promote cell renewal, tighten pores, moisturize and nourish skin. When using any product, there are a couple of things t

Advanced Hair repair Moisturizing Shampoo, Daily Conditioner, and Hydrating Argan Oil Hair Mask and Deep Conditioner

Image
I had a chance to try out the Advanced Hair repair Moisturizing shampoo and I have to say that I am a huge fan. I have dry processed hair and have been looking for a shampoo that would provide moisture and strength and this one does just that. It smells awesome and does a great job cleansing and conditioning your hair. This product contains Argan oil and Macadamia oil which would promote hair growth. It has a creamy texture with a great lather. It leaves your hair looking and feeling healthy as well as providing the nourishment to dry and damaged hair due to over processing. I also tried the Advanced Hair Repair Daily Conditioner and it also does a great job. I use this conditioner along with the shampoo and I have already seen positive results with this hair care system. The conditioner has a creamy but light texture and provides nourishment to my hair. My hair looks healthier, smells great, and feels nourished. The last product that I tried from this line was the Hydrating
