Limited Edition TruMoo Vanilla in Halloween Orange Milk





My family and I tried the limited edition Halloween TruMoo in the new vanilla flavor.  While I was not too much of a big fan with it, my fiancé and our son LOVES it!  I poured a glass for my fiancé and he tried it and said "That's it?"  He wanted an even BIGGER glass lol!  He had two full glasses of it the first night after we bought it.  Then our son had a full glass and loved it too.  It is just about gone and I know it will DEFINITELY be a staple in this house and will always be on the grocery list when we go shopping! :D

Food Should Taste Good® Chips



I was SO excited that I was chosen to be part of the FSTG campaign!  I had SO much fun trying each bag of chips that I received and I honestly LOVED each and every bag.  The variety of chips I received were:  Multigrain, Blue Corn, Jalapeño, Olive, and Sweet Potato.  I loved each and every one of them.  I even loved the Sweet Potato and Olive chips, which is crazy because I honestly HATE sweet potatoes and olives LOL!  But these potato chips were SO good and tasted so natural and healthy!  I also loved how the ingredients on each bag on the back are in bold dark print and stands out so much!  That is a very important thing in a product when I can find the ingredients list quite quickly, so I LOVE that!  I cannot wait to buy more!  Thank you BzzAgent!:)

Below are my reviews of each different bag that I tried:


Review #1:  Food Should Taste Good - Multigrain

So there you have it!  Each flavor was delicious and if I had to choose one, well, there is NO way I could because I loved them all just the same!  :-)

Special K Nourish™ Products!





I was quite excited to try these Special K Nourishproducts that I received from BzzAgent!  Below is my review of each product!


Review #1:  Special K Nourish Dark Chocolate Nut Delight Bar


Rating:  ** (2 out of 5 stars)

As I unwrapped this bar it looked quite delicious.  It smelled of dark chocolate, which is one of my absolute favorites; however, the ONLY part that is good about this product is the chocolate part.

Biting into it was not so bad.  It was the chewing part that started to get weird for me.  In my opinion, it became an odd texture that I just was not crazy about.  It is like the piece you are chewing in your mouth starts to break apart and it is almost, well, cardboard-like.  The taste was just OK.  I honestly was not able to finish the whole bar because of the texture while chewing it just turned me off a bit.  I hate to give such a negative review, but this product definitely needs some improvement!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Review #2:  Special K Nourish Lemon Twist Bar


Rating:  ** (2 out of 5 stars)

As I unwrapped this bar, it did not look as tasty as the Dark Chocolate Nut Delight one as mentioned above.  It had quite a strong lemony smell, which I did not mind too much, because I DO love the smell of lemon and smelling that lemony smell certainly brought me back to the days where I used to love my lemon cakes...

Anyways lol!  So my first bite was not too bad, except the lemon taste was kind of, well artificial lemon, which was kind of disgusting for me.  As I chewed this bar, it started to have that odd texture again as it broke down into my mouth.  For some reason, there is something about the texture of these bars that I am just not crazy about!  The lemon flavor as I chewed it became yucky as well.  Unfortunately, I was only able to take two bites and I had to throw the rest of it out!  This product definitely needs some improvement as well!


------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Review #3:  Special K Nourish Cranberry Almond Bar


Rating:  *** (3 out of 5 stars)

I unwrapped this bar and was immediately excited to smell it to see if it indeed smelled of cranberry.  You can imagine my surprise (and disappointment!) when I smelled nothing, and NO smell of cranberry!  I put my disappointment aside though and took my first bite.  I was surprised that there was no taste of cranberry either.  Instead, it had this artificial fruity, sweet, almost lemony taste to it that was a complete turn-off.  As I chewed my first piece of it, I noticed that the texture was a little bit better than the previous two bars.  Still, I was not tasting cranberry which made me quite disappointed, as I LOVE cranberry! :)  I chewed a second bite and noticed that the cardboard feeling in my mouth was still there, just like with the previous two bars.  However, with this bar I gave it a higher rating than the previous two because I could at least stand to eat a few more bites.  But I still had to throw it out after four or five bites.  It just did not appeal to me.  I hate to say this, but if I was starving and there was nothing around to eat but this particular bar?  Then yes, I would eat it, of course!  BUT if I had another option?  I would go with that other option instead.  I think this product needs a little tweaking...perhaps make the cranberry flavor stand out more because honestly I am just not tasting it nor smelling it! :(

Review #4:  Special K Nourish Cinnamon Raisin Pecan Hot Cereal Cup

No Picture Available (Sorry!)

Rating:  **** (4 out of 5 stars)

This is my first time ever trying an oatmeal-type product.  It was an overall positive first-time experience, so I am quite happy about that.  Anyways, I cooked this hot cereal cup in the bowl with the steeping method, which is the preferred method.  Before adding the water, it smelled quite delicious!  Even after I added the water it still smelled delicious.  The raisins and nuts that come in the packet are fresh and tasty.  They do not have an artificial taste either.  This oatmeal is not too sweet and not too dull in taste either.  I really expected it to be dull in flavor.  I am quite pleasantly surprised!  The texture is okay, but only because I am not used to oatmeal-type products.  I had about 10 bites of it and while chewing it felt like REAL food and no cardboard taste!  The portion size is perfect too; not too little and not too much to eat.  This is a good product and GREAT for oatmeal lovers!  It is also a good choice for breakfast on the go!  I would definitely stock up on a these for when I have those days where I just want something quick or I need something fast to go out the door with! :)

P.S.  After writing this review, my oatmeal had turned cold and still had this soupy-like texture to it.  I decided to experiment and put it in the microwave with no lid on it for about 30 seconds.  It turned into this paste-like texture that reminded me of cookie dough or even sticky rice lol!  It tasted the same and was nice and hot.  So, just a recommendation for those who may not like the soupy-like texture of the oatmeal after completing the steeping method. :)

Review #5:  Special K Nourish Cranberry Almond Hot Cereal Cup


Rating:  **** (4 out of 5 stars)

This hot cereal cup is really good!  It smells good while opening it and it smells good after cooking it.  I did my own method for cooking it so it would have a thicker texture.  The cranberries give the hot cereal just the right amount of sweetness and flavor that it needs; HOWEVER, the nuts I can certainly do without!  Instead, I think the fruit packet should just be cranberries lol!  So, doubling the cranberries would be nice! :)

The texture as I chew it does not remind me of cardboard.  It tastes like real food!  There is no dull taste, but seriously just get rid of the nuts lol!

It is quite good and I just about finished the entire portion.  It really is a perfect portion and is quite filling as well.  Perfect for another on-the-go breakfast when you do not have time to cook and need to get out the door quickly! :)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Review #6:  Special K Nourish Maple Brown Sugar Crunch Hot Cereal Cup


Rating:  *** (3 out of 5 stars)

This hot cereal cup was okay.  I enjoyed the other two much more because there was just more to add to it (ex:  cranberries, raisins) instead of just the nuts.  It smells good before and after cooking.  I did the second method (in the microwave, not steeping), stirred it, and then for 20 more seconds in the microwave for a more thicker texture.

My first bite was good!  I could taste the maple brown sugar right away.  It is not too sweet and there is no dull taste like I was expecting.  However, again, I really am not too crazy about the nuts.  It does taste good, but it still feels like it is lacking something.  I almost wanted to add some raisins to it or something lol!  The texture is good and there is no cardboard taste in my mouth while chewing it, so that is a big plus!  It also tastes real and not artificial, which is another big plus.  The only thing that needs tweaking is to get rid of the nuts and add a fruit, like raisins or something.  Other than that, I liked it! :)

Summer Grilling with Kroger!



My family and I loved the Kroger brand products we tried, thanks to BzzAgent!  The frozen hamburger patties, the cheddar and sour cream potato chips, the "Dr. Pepper" imitation of Kroger brand soda, and the slider buns were ALL delicious!  We celebrated the 4th of July with a BBQ and ate all of the above products!  It was one of the best BBQs we have had in a very long time!  Everyone kept raving about the food too!  Thank you especially to BzzAgent and also to Kroger for making our 4th of July a hit! :D

Dr. Scholl’s® Massaging Gel® Insoles

I was very hesitant in trying these Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles; however, I am SO glad that I did!  While wearing them in my shoes, I experienced nothing but comfort and painless walking!  Usually with my shoes and no inserts my feet get very tired, but with Dr. Scholl's Massaging Gel Insoles?  I could walk longer and not have to worry about stopping due to painful and/or tired feet!  I literally feel like the pain I was having is non-existent now!  In the past I have tried other brands, but have not been satisfied like I am with these!  No cons for these; only pros!  I also love that they are so easy to cut so they can fit in your shoes and they also do not slide around like past brands I have tried.  They actually STAY in place!  I am very happy with these and I cannot recommend them enough! :)

Nothing BUT comfort when walking with these! :)

Children’s Claritin® Grape Syrup

I was really hoping this product would have worked for my son, but unfortunately he did not get to try it because he hated the grape flavor!  I think had it come in Cherry flavor he would have been more excited to try it lol, but when it comes to Grape flavored medicines he is extremely picky!  But this is the only reason why I gave it three stars.  I have no idea if it works for my son or not, but my friend's daughter took it and it worked for her!  So, I believe it works; however, I am not able to give a full review (either negative or positive) because my son would not take it. :(

Garnier Olia Oil Powered Permanent Hair Color: This Is By Far The Best Hair Color I Have Tried In A Long Time!



What the title of my review states, is true.  Garnier Olia Oil Powered Permanent Hair Color is the best hair color I have tried in a long time!  I am going to be honest about something.  At first, I was hesitant in trying it.  I really was.  I think that is what took me so long to post my review lol.  I was scared of this hair color ruining my hair, really.  But after seeing the final results?  I am SO glad I did try it and I really wish I had not waited SO long!

Anyways, this hair color is not like your typical hair color.  There is no harsh chemical smell like usual brands and it is quite easy to apply to your hair.  The scent kind of reminds me of a light floral smell.  It is a really pleasant smell and is not a problem to breathe in while applying the color to your hair.  The only drawback I would say is the bottle.  It is a little difficult to grip as you color your hair.  Other than that though, no cons with this product!  I LOVE it!  For the color being oil powered, it was quite easy to apply.  The color stayed in place as I applied it and it was not messy at all!  Usually, with other brands, I would have hair color all over my sink, my floor, my shirt, etc.  But not with this color.  I was not even sure this color would even take because the process just seemed too easy lol, but the color did take and it took quite wonderfully!

Here is what comes in the box:



Here is my Before Picture: 


 
And here is my After Picture.  I used the color 4.15 Dark Soft Mahogany and these were my results:

Schick Hydro Silk® Razor


If you are looking for a new razor that keeps your shaved skin silky smooth AND hydrated?  The Schick Hydro Silk® Razor is THE razor for YOU!

Check out my review below!

"I was very hesitant when using this razor and expected the usual hype that a razor gets when it is new and advertised as a "different" razor.  But everything that this razor claims to do is TRUE!  I have been using this razor for a week and my legs and under my arms are still silky smooth!  Other razors I have tried in the past left under my arms and my legs with little stubbles of unshaven (read, missed) hair.  But this razor is AWESOME!!!  I first used this razor to shave under my arms.  That was last Saturday and I only had to shave again towards the end of the week.  Just TWO days this week instead of everyday or every other day like with my old razor!  I shaved my legs last Sunday and my legs are STILL silky smooth!  It is unbelievable!  Shaving has never been SO easy now!  I LOVE it!  And another GREAT thing about this razor is that it takes forever to get dull!  It is very durable and does not feel cheap either.

The Schick Hydro Silk® razor has really blown me away and I will definitely continue to buy the refillable cartridges because I honestly do NOT see myself ever buying a different razor in the future again.  The Schick Hydro Silk® razor is my last razor! :D

P.S.  The recommendation is to use any Skintimate shave gel, but I chose the one as seen in the picture and it worked GREAT!  The fact that there is a shave gel with the exact Schick Hydro Silk® razor pictured on it is awesome too.  You get even double the silkiness!! :D
