UnReal Candy

I just signed up for a chance to host the UnReal Candy Party from Tryazon & UnReal Candy! #tryazon #getunreal

If you were unaware of Unreal Candy and what makes it truly different from other candies on the market shelves, below is some information about this unique brand of delicious candy.


Last Halloween, Americans spent over a billion dollars on candy. Many of these candies are made of GMO's, gluten, soy, corn, excess sugar, artificial flavors, dyes and preservatives. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy candy free from these harmful substances and made from natural ingredients? If you haven't heard of Unreal Candy, now is the time to learn more as Halloween lurks near!

Kris and Nicky, two Boston brothers, had a vision to "unjunk" the world of feeble candy and replace it with a healthier and tastier alternative. Together they've created candies in such a way that prevents them from needing chemical and artificial anything. They use a unique manufacturing process with their peanut-butter cups, in which they allow each ingredient to cool before packaging. They also use organic cacao, rich peanut butter and for coloring, natural juices from carrots, beets, cabbages and more. It's UNREAL how delicious using REAL ingredients can be!

Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer





I have never tried a wet skin moisturizer before but I absolutely love this one from Jergens. It smells amazing. The coconut scent is pleasant and not at all overwhelming. I applied it right after a warm shower before toweling off. It left my skin feel so smooth and hydrated all day long. I noticed how much softer my skin felt even in the heat of the day. I'm ditching my old nightly moisturizer and switching to Jergens Wet Skin Moisturizer with Coconut Oil!

RoC

RoC Multi-Corrextion 5-in-1 Night Restoring Cream


I haven't used the night cream long enough to see dramatic results but I have noticed that my skin feels smoother and more moisturized in the mornings after I have began using this restoring night cream. It doesn't feel as tight and dry as it used to.

RoC Retinol Corrextion Eye Cream


I haven't used the eye cream for long but I have noticed that my under-eye dark circles have started to lighten a bit. The fine lines on the corners have started to smooth out and by eyes look less puffy than before. I apply it once in the morning and then again before bed. So far, I'm extremely pleased with the results.

Silk Dairy-free yogurts



I received an opportunity to try Silk Dairy-free yogurt for free through a sampling mission for CrowdTap. I received a coupon for a free single serving sized container. I went to Walmart to redeem my coupon and found it in the dairy case alongside the other regular dairy yogurts. I choose to try the Strawberry flavor but they have several other varieties to choose from. The were standard fruit flavors such as peach mango, tropical pineapple, blueberry vanilla, black cherry, strawberry and vanilla.
It is made from soymilk. I would have preferred it was made with a nut base instead so I could enjoy it more often but it was still very delicious. It was very smooth and creamy. It's not as thick as Greek yogurt but not as thin as regular dairy yogurts. The color from the real fruit ingredients looks very muted as opposed to all the bright colors of dairy yogurts which are packed with artificial colorings. you could see all the large bits of real strawberries through the container and it absolutely tasted like fresh picked strawberries.
I ate some right out of the container and then blended the rest with banana, spinach and a splash of Silk almond milk to make a smoothie for my 3 year old. She loved it. I will continue to buy more Silk Dairy-free yogurt for my family.

Silk Nutchello Caramel Almond & Cashews

http://pin.it/CndsIHL

I received the opportunity to try Silk Nutchello Nut-Based Beverage for free from CrowdTap. They have several varieties to choose from and I choose the Caramel Almond & Cashews flavor.
Each serving has 70 calories and 9 grams of sugar. If you are already a fan of Silk Almond milks, you will love this beverage. If you've never tried non-dairy milks, you should give this a try. I served mine chilled over ice but it would be great with coffee, in smoothies or even over cereal for a flavor boost. It is rich and creamy but not thick like you would expect. It has a hint of sweetness with the yummy taste of caramel. This is a great anytime snack because the nuts help me to fill full and satisfied. I can't wait to try the other flavors available.

Splenda Zero



This is one of the best liquid sweeteners I have tried so far. It has 0 carbs, 0 sugar and 0 calories! That is phenomenal. There is ZERO bitter aftertaste like some other sweeteners have. It tastes just as delicious no matter whether you use it to sweeten cold and hot beverages or cook and bake with it. It's easy to adjust the sweetness of my foods to my liking without wrecking havoc on my diet. It's very portable so it's really easy to keep a bottle in my purse for on-the-go or dining out.

#BlushVoxBox

I received a #BlushVoxBox from +Influenster. It has Simple Micellar wipes, Secret Clinical deodorant, Pantent Expert shampoo and conditioner, Ardell Lashes and a special offer from Perfect Details.
The Simple Micellar wipes worked really well at removing my makeup even the waterproof mascara. The Pantene Expert Shampoo and Conditioner left my hair silky smooth and smelling amazing. The Secret Clinical deodorant kept me dry even during the summer heat. The Ardell Lashes were easy to apply and looked very natural. I was able to get an awesome deal with the code from PerfectDetails.com.

Johnsonville Grillers

I had the opportunity to try a brand of frozen burgers for free as part of a sampling mission for CrowdTap. I received a coupon to redeem in-store for a free product. I went to my local Kroger in search of the burgers. I must say that they were very difficult to find at this particular store. I started my search in the meat aisle where the frozen burgers are normally kept. No sign of them. I searched in the freezer section and still no burgers. I finally managed to find them next to the seafood counter in a freezer case along with frozen seafood. That's such a very weird place to keep them in my opinion.


Ok, now on to the burgers. I choose the Cheddar Cheese & Bacon flavor. I took them home and my husband threw them on the grill. It took less than 15 minutes for them to cook thoroughly. When he brought them inside, I could immediately smell the aroma of mouth-watering bacon. The burgers were extremely juicy and very tender with the rich taste of gourmet cheddar. The burgers remained thick with very minimal shrinkage. They tasted A-Maz-ING!!!! I tasted bacon, bacon and more cheesy bacon. Yum-O! My husband and three year old daughter both gave these burgers a big thumbs up. Now I can't wait to try another flavor of those delicious Johnsonville Grillers Burgers.

Garnier SkinActive Miracle Anti-Fatigue


I recently got to try the Garnier SkinActive Miracle Anti-Fatigue products for free as part of a sampling mission for CrowdTap. I sampled the Wake-Up Hydra-Gel Moisturizer, the Sleeping Cream and the Eye Gel Cream.


I suffer from stress and lack of sleep. My skin was seriously starting to show the effects of it so I was intrigued by the claims of the Sleeping Cream. I only tried a small sample so I can't testify to the benefits of using it long term but I can say that it did help my skin feel somewhat softer the next morning instead of feeling dry like it normally does because I have to use a dehumidifier at night.
It didn't feel greasy and absorbed into my skin quickly. It has a light, pleasant scent of lavender. It is a  product that I would definitely be interested in continuing to use to help replenish moisture to my skin while I sleep.


I really enjoyed using the Wake-Up cream. I only tried a small sample so I don't know how well it works long term but I am seriously planning on purchasing the full sized bottle to continue to use it as my daily moisturizer. I love that it is a lightweight gel so that it doesn't feel like it weighs my skin down like some of the heavy creams will. It has a light, pleasant scent that is almost a little fruity smelling but not overpowering which is nice because I don't normally like using a lot of scented products on my face. 
It dried fairly quickly. I put it on then went and made breakfast to give it ample time to fully adsorb before I applied my makeup. My makeup went on smoothly over it without caking up. It did help my skin feel more refreshed after I used it that day. 


I received the full sized tube of the Eye Gel Cream to sample which was a good thing because this is a product that I needed the most. Between genetics, insomnia and aging, I was starting to look like a raccoon with the dark circles around my eyes. I have previously used several creams by would have to try one for the puffiness and another for the dark circles so I'm glad this Eye Gel Cream addresses both issues simultaneously. 
It is a clear gel and I started feeling the effects as soon as I applied it. I could feel a slight tingling sensation and then, as it dried, I could feel it starting to tighten. It did help to smoother out my eye area and my bags looked a lot less puffy after my first use. I have been using it for about two weeks now and I definitely can say that my dark circles are starting to dramatically improve in appearance. I love this Eye Gel Cream!

YumVs

 I recently received some free samples of the YumVs probiotics with probiotic fiber from @Influenster as part of my #TreatVoxBox. I am a firm believer in making sure my daughter gets probiotics into her daily diet. I usually use the powdered form made especially for kids. I usually mix it into some green tea and my daughter will happily drink it down. The problem is that some of the fibers do not completely dissolve and wind up at the bottom of the cup in a gooey glob only to be discovered by my daughter through her straw and the battle begins. She will refuse to drink the rest of the dosage so that can be frustrating and those powders are very expensive so I hate that even a small amount of it might get wasted if she refuses to drink it.
The makers of YumVs have come up with a genuis way to easily get children to take their probiotics by making the shaped like cute little teddy bears and making them CHOCOLATE!!! Yep, that's right, I said chocolate. They have them in white or milk chocolate with a sugar free option. They also have the Multi-V with multi-mineral formula chocolate bears and Calcium with Vitamin D chocolate bears.They are Preservative-Free, Gluten-Free, Nut-Free and GMO-Free. They also have a line of products for adults. 
I think I have found a less expensive and easier solution to my entire family's daily supplement needs!

Hills Bros


I received some free sample variety K-cups and single serving packs of the Hills Bros. Cappuccino from @Influenster. I really liked how smooth and rich these Cappuccinos were especially since I brewed them myself at home. Most other brands are a disappointing watery mess but I really enjoyed the Hills Bros. brand. This was the first experience that I have had with this brand but I guarantee this will not be the last. My favorite was the Salted Caramel flavor. Yum! #TreatVoxBox #spon

#TreatVoxBox

 Yay! I opened up the mailbox and this was inside. My #TreatVoxBox from Influenster and here was what was inside:
 A box of 4 mixed variety flavors of Hills Bros. Cappuccino K-Cups and a box of 3 single servings of English Toffee Cappuccino along with a $1.00 off coupon.
 A sample packet of Welenda Baby Shampoo and Body wash.
 4 servings of Yum-V's Probiotic Bears
 2 tea bags from Yogi
 A coupon good for a FREE product from Country Crock (I redeemed the coupon in-store for the product)

Mr. Sketch Scented Markers

I recently got the opportunity to try a 10 package of the Mr. Sketch scented markers for free as part of a mission from Crowdtap. These markers are washable, non-toxic and safe for 3+ years of age. The scents are orange-orange, pink-watermelon, blue-blueberry, yellow-banana, brown-cinnamon, red-cherry, purple-grape, green-mint, black-licorice and light blue-fruit punch.
The markers each have their own unique smells and my 3 year old daughter loved coloring with them. We also used them for sensory play by closing our eyes and trying to guess the color by smell.  The colors didn't bleed through the pages while we were coloring and we didn't have those yucky stains on the sides of our hands because the color dries really quickly. I remembered coloring with these markers when I was young so it brings back nostalgic memories and creates some special bonding time between my daughter and myself.
I would recommend these markers for a fun, unique coloring experience.

Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer with SPF15





I was very excited to be able to try the Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer with SPF15 for free through a Crowdtap sampling opportunity.
This is a very light, non-greasy moisturizer and I looked forward to applying it daily because it has a nice, clean fragrance. I noticed that it did help to brighten up my complexion. I also noticed an improvement in the way my makeup looked after I applied it over the moisturizer. I did notice some positive results after just one week of use.
I got some extra samples for sharing so I passed them out to my friends to take the Garnier Clearly Brighter One Week Challenge. My girlfriends also gave it the thumbs up and were excited about their experiences with the Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer with SPF15 products.

GoGo SqueeZ Yogurt



I was recently sent a 4 pack of the GoGo SqueeZ Yogurt Pouches in Banana Flavor for free to try as part of a mission for Crowdtap. We have bought the GoGo SqueeZ Fruit Sauce Pouches to take with us whenever we travel but I wasn't aware that they made the yogurts. My daughter loves yogurt so I was very excited for her to try these.


The best part is that these yogurt pouches are shelf stable which means that they need no refrigeration. That is so nice because I can pack these to take with us on vacation without needing to keep them on ice. My daughter loved them whether they were cold or not. My husband bought another 4 pack in the Strawberry Flavor and she seemed to like that flavor just as much as the banana.
I think we found our new favorite on-the-go snack!

GoldFish Baked with Whole Grain crackers


I recently got to try a free package of the Goldfish Baked with Whole Grain crackers in the Pretzel flavor as part of a mission from Crowdtap. These crackers have 14g of Whole Grain per serving. They also have No Artificial Flavors or Preservatives. The package is 8 0unces and a serving is about 43 pieces so there is around 7 servings per package. A serving is 120 calories with 2g Total Fat and 23g Total Carbs.


The crackers are light and crispy with a great salty pretzel flavor. We ate ours plain as a snack and also used them with a cheddar cheese dip. Yum! We usually always have some type of Goldfish cracker in the pantry for snacks and since we are trying to eat more whole grains, these snack crackers are perfect for us. I'm hoping to try the other Baked with Whole Grain varieties so I will be picking up some GoldFish on my next shopping trip.

Update: Seventh Generation Baby Wipes

Update: We have continued to use the Seventh Generation Baby Free & Clear Wipes and are still very pleased with their performance. Some of my friends have also switched their brand to these and love them as well.
Original Post:
I recently got to try a few free samples of the Seventh Generation Baby Free & Clear Wipes. The wipes are free from synthetic fragrances, dyes, parabens, phthalates, and alcohol. They are hypoallergenic and never tested on animals nor do they contain animal ingredients. They clean with ingredients derived from plants. The wipes are very thick and super soft so they clean even the worst mess. I only received a few single sheet packs which were great for traveling but you can find out more about the package count and where to buy on their website at www.seventhgeneration.com.

Garnier Whole Blends


I have used a few of the different varieties of Garnier Whole Blends Shampoos and Conditioners that I received free to try as part of a sampling mission from Crowdtap. Each one has very distinct smells and benefits from using them. I loved the smells of each one but my favorite has to be Coconut oil & Cocoa butter. As for performance, I pick Honey Treasures for strengthening my hair and Coconut Oil & Cocoa butter for my daughter's naturally curly hair. My husband chose the Coconut Water & Vanilla milk as his favorite because it made his coarse hair feel very soft. Here are my reviews for my sampling pack.


Honey Treasures Shampoo
This shampoo smells really good. It has a somewhat floral scent with the yummy smell of honey. I like that it helps to repair and strengthen my hair. I was very pleased with the results from this shampoo. It left my hair feeling soft, shiny and healthy looking. I also used it on my daughter's hair and it left her curls very soft and bouncy.
Honey Treasures Conditioner
I think that this conditioner smells a bit better than the Honey Treasures shampoo, but they both still smell great. I like to use conditioner before I shampoo. It is a tip I got from my hairdresser because I have baby fine hair and using conditioner last tends to weigh my hair down leaving it looking very thin. This conditioner was very easy to rinse and made my hair very soft even when I let it air dry. I used it on my daughter's hair and it didn't weight down her beautiful curls.


Coconut Water & Vanilla Milk Shampoo
The shampoo smells really nice and subtle. It like that it helps to hydrate my scalp. I tend to have a very flaky scalp so I try to change up my hair care routine to find a combination that works for me. I think that this shampoo will help with continued use. My husband chose the Coconut water & Vanilla Milk as his favorite because he has thick, coarse hair and this shampoo helps to soften it without leaving his scalp dry and itchy like some others do.
Coconut Water & Vanilla Milk Conditioner
I like the mild, subtle scent of this conditioner. This was my husband's choice because it didn't leave him smelling to feminine but it did a great job of softening his thick, coarse hair. My scalp did feel more hydrated and less itchy after using this conditioner along with the matching shampoo. I also noticed that my hair didn't feel oily as quickly after using the Coconut Water & Vanilla Milk shampoo and conditioner as it does with other brands.


Coconut Oil & Cocoa Butter Shampoo
This Coconut Oil & Cocoa Butter was my favorite scent. I really liked this shampoo for my daughter's hair because it seemed to help her curls hold their shape instead of weighing them down and becoming frizzy. It helped her naturally curly hair feel very light and bouncy. I used it on my straight hair because it tends to look frizzy when I blow dry it. It did help my hair look smoother and shiny.
Coconut Oil & Cocoa Butter Conditioner
This conditioner helped to leave my hair feeling soft and smooth after blow drying. I used it on my daughter's hair because she has natural curly hair and most conditioners tend to weigh down her curls making her hair look frizzy and out of control. After using the Coconut Oil & Coconut Butter conditioner along with the shampoo, her curls were light and bouncy and stayed perfectly shaped. This conditioner left our hair smelling amazing and looking great.

K-Y Yours+Mine Warming Couples Lubricant



My husband and I are big fans of K-Y. We like to use these Pleasure Gels during foreplay for that extra burst of sensation. We recently tried the K-Y couples Love Gel but we like the extra heat of the Yours+Mine. It was pure bliss when the two combined. We didn't experience any burning sensations, it was just a nice warm tingling feeling that we both enjoyed.
 I was a bit reluctant to try the Mine (for her) because it has a smell similar to the muscle rubs so I was a little afraid it would be hot so I only used a small amount at first. The Yours (for him) didn't have a strong smell like mine did. We enjoyed using the K-Y Yours+Mine Warming Couples Lubricant and will choose it each time we desire that extra heat to ignite our night!
I received a free product for the purpose of my review. Opinions are 100% my own.

Amope Pedi Perfect Wet and Dry Foot FIle



I was lucky enough to be selected to try the Amope Pedi Perfect Wet and Dry Foot File for free as part of a mission from Crowdtap.


The contents of the package I received has the two-speed file with removable head, a charger base with a USB charging cable and plug. There is also a button on the side to release the file head for cleaning or replacing. You can buy the replacement heads at most retail stores that sell the file or find them online. The file has an on/off switch on the handle with the ability to switch it between low and high speeds. The beauty of this file is that you can use it on dry feet or while you are in the shower. It suggests to use low speed while you are using it as a dry file and using high speed when you are using it wet or if you have very thick callused feet like I do. 
My feet are rough and tend to crack no matter how much I scrubbed, exfoliated or moisturized them. My mother, grandmother and several aunts suffer from this problem as well so I'm assuming heredity plays some part in it as well as having crazy hormones.

I have had this file for about two weeks now and use it about 3 times a week since my feet are so bad. If your feet are already semi smooth, you could probably just use it once a week or once every other week. It's totally up to your own personal preference. The first picture was how my feet looked before I started using the Amope. You can see how rough and badly cracked they were. The second photo was during the first week after about 3 uses. The final photo was at the end of the second week and 6 uses. That is a huge improvement. My skin is now silky smooth and the cracks are basically almost totally gone.  
I absolutely LOVE the Amope Pedi Perfect Wet and Dry Foot File and have been recommending it highly to everyone I can. I love mine so much that I am buying a few for my mother, grandmother and aunts as gifts. It is priced at around $60 dollars and $20 for a set of refills but I can guarantee that, for me, it is totally worth every cent!

Secret Clinical Strength antiperspirant/deodorant

I suffer from anxiety-fuel sweating and tend to stress out a lot so I definitely needed the extra protection that only a clinical deodorant can give. This deodorant has a light, subtle fragrance and goes on smoothly without leaving the white residue on my body or clothing. I used it in the morning and went through my day as usual by running errands, working out and tending to my garden.
I didn't experience any sweat odor and I also didn't have to reapply it several times during the day like I do with regular deodorants. I am very pleased with the performance of Secret Clinical Strength Light and Fresh antiperspirant/deodorant.
"This post was sponsored by Secret® as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap. I received complimentary products to facilitate my review."

o.b. Pro Comfort Silk Touch tampons


I recently got a chance to try the o.b. Pro Comfort Silk Touch tampons by being a member of CrowdTap. These tampons are super compact making them easy to conceal in your palm, pocket or clutch so they are very discreet. I really like that they have no applicator and create less waste than standard tampons. That also means that there is no embarrassingly loud noises when you are in the public stall trying to open your tampon.


They are very easy to insert and even easier to remove than other tampons because of the Silk Touch cover. They are super comfortable and very absorbent. I haven't experienced any leaking with these tampons even while being very active during a heavy flow day. Now, keep in mind, every woman's body is different so what works perfectly for me may not work as well for someone else. You should definitely give the o.b. Pro Comfort Silk Touch tampons a try.


We decided to send our extra sample boxes and cute storage cases in care packages to two of the female soldiers in our Adopt-A-Soldier troop.
