• Helps fade signs of sun damage, including wrinkles

 (My 1st days with Paula's Choice):
 I wasn't sure about this type of exfoliation. I am use to the typical granular exfoliating creams or scrubs. This type of an exfoliate makes me think that my skin need to burn to get the desired effect. This was not the case at all. I didn't feel any burning or discomfort at all. Surprised at how mild it has been and I am able to use it twice a day as recommended. My skin has had some improvements and so far am loving it. My pours are smaller and my skin feels smoother. I can't wait to see the results in the upcoming days and weeks. I am hoping to diminish my hyperpigmentation.

 (Several weeks after)
I have noticed a significant improvement in my skin's texture and my fine lines diminishing. The biggest improvement was the size of my pores. The area around my nose was the worst and at this point my pores are barely noticeable. Consistency is key for this and any product to work. . 


I apply this every night before bed making sure to focus on my cheeks, nose and forehead. Those are areas of my concern for my fine lines and large pores. In the photos below you can see how my skins texture is smoother and my hyper pigmentation on my checks appear blurred. Even some of my freckles on my nose have faded. It is so impressive to me since I think  my skin looks

TruMoo Chocolate Milk

I was fortunate enough to let my kids try out the TruMoo chocolate milk. I sadly couldn't find the vanilla flavored orange Halloween colored milk for them to try. I keep looking, but nothing so far. 

My kids (3) love TruMoo. They actually pour too much for themselves just so they can feel like they got more than the other. They have tries every chocolate milk and this is by far their favorite brand. 

I especially enjoy that there is less sugar which they don't know about. 

My kids were sad when they had to share their TruMoo with friends, but hey it's worth it. Gave out a couple coupons too.

KASHI HUMMUS CRISPS

KASHI HUMMUS CRISPS 

I was sent the Kashi Hummus Crisps from BzzAgent. 

Kashi Hummus Crisps have 

7 whole grains

is a Non-GMO product

One serving is 27 crisps and contain 120 calories and 4g of fiber

The texture reminds me of rice cake chips and the flavor was not as "hummus" like as I expected. In fact there was no "hummus" taste to me. The flavor I was able to try was the Sea Salt & Olive Oil. I personally thought it was a bit bland for my enjoyment, but my daughter loved them. I tried to purchase the other flavors that are available, but was not able to find any in my area. (Sundried Tomato Basil & Feta or Caramelized Onion)

 If you are trying to eat a healthier snack this may be worth trying. Adding a light dip makes them better for snacking. The crispy crunch definitely helps me trick my mind to thinking I am eating chips. Chips happen to be my favorite snack of all snacks. I am trying to avoid eating chips and this can be an alternative for me. I hope I can find the additional flavors. 

For more information about the Kashi Hummus Crisps check out their Facebook page.

Pennington Smart Feed Sprayer System Review

When I looked at the nozzle it seemed a little confusing, but it is very easy. just twist on the end of your water hose and go. You know your plants are getting the nutrients since the water that comes out is blue just as it looks in the handle.
I had some plants that were there from the previous seasons and I also had new plants:
Parsley
Cilantro
Bell Peppers
Green Onions

I have been loving the results from my plants. Last year it took much longer to get my veggies to grow

 easy to attach to any water hose

To change out and put new tablets in is easy. Simply untwist the chamber and swing open then drop in your tablets. Very easy to use

The Smart Feed^™ Sprayer System is available at Walmart, Home Depot and Lowe’s

Morning Star review

I was so lucky to be able to get in on the BzzAgent Morning Star campaign. I got the Chik Patties,  Grillers Prime Veggie Burger, Asian Veggie Patties and Regular Grillers.
I love the taste of these products.

The Chik Patties are almost exactly like a regular chicken patty. The crunchy top coat and the "meaty" inside is delicious (textured vegetable protein). 140 calories.I like to cut them in slices after cooking for my kids and they love them too. They cannot tell the difference. My sister-in-law attempted to give her boys the Veggie Burgers, but when they heard they were Veggie Burgers they said NO WAY! so she told them how about "Chicken" Patties. Of course they agreed and guess what?! They LOVED them LOL. She still to this day refuses to tell them they were not chicken. My kids love them no matter. They accept it just because it tastes great!

The Asian Veggie Patties were great too! I was a little shocked when the taste had a little kick to them. I was not expecting that at all. You can see and taste all the veggies in them. I loved that! There are Water chestnuts, celery, onion, bamboo shoots, and more! 100 calories. These are all Kosher too. 

Check out the Morning Star web page HERE for some unexpected recipes. These are a must try.
TRY THIS!
You can also take these Asian Veggie Patties and chop them up and add them to your stir-fry too. They already have amazingly good veggies in them and to add them to some cabbage, onion, carrots, broccoli, bell peppers, snow peas and french beans too. stir-fry them together with a little Oyster sauce and fish sauce just divine! You can eat it with or without rice depending on if you want to reduce and have a little less carbs. Either way it is delicious!
chop the broccoli & cabbage in to large chunks 
slice the bell peppers
cut onions in slim slices
cut the patties into slices
Heat the patties thru with a touch of canola oil in the pan

Add the onions and cook thru and add the rest of the veggies and a teaspoon of chopped garlic
Add oyster sauce and fish sauce to taste
DONE and YUM!

Covergirl blastflipstick

This is a review and a look at the Covergirl BlastFlipstick. This was sent from Bzzagent to review.
The Kit came with

1. Multiple coupons to share with friends, family, neighbors and co-workers.  
2. 3 Blastflipstcks in the colors stunner, Minx and Vixen
3. The Official BzzGuide

My 1st thoughts before applying was mixed. I thought the packaging was very cute, but the colors were way out of my comfort zone. I was definitely going to give them a chance and try them all no matter how intimidating they seemed to me and surprisingly the darkest shade which I thought would look completely ridiculous was the one I thought looked the best.

Stunner

A bright vivid coal pink with a glitter golden color.

The glitter mage the lipstick gritty and seemed to feel drying.

Upon removing there was still glitter residue on my lips.

Vixen

Pink with a lighter shimmery pink. Very smooth in texture. 

Felt very good on the lips. 

You can also see here in the photo that there is a lot of product in the package. 

Minx

I was nervous to try, but was pleasantly surprised. This is a dark brown and very shimmery gold. 

It too was very soft and smooth on the lips and felt moisturizing.

This one seemed to make my teeth appear whiter than they normally are. I very much liked that. 

I was very surprised I liked this one the most. I think it would be great for a night out. 

Over all my thoughts were all of the colors are very bright and pigmented. They all applied smooth and silky except fro the one with the glitter in it (stunner). They do tend to stain your lips. That could be a good or bad thing depending on what you want. Tp have lingering color when applying it in the morning as long as it is the color you want would be a good thing. Then your lips would always have a flush of color even after the lip color wore out. 

The thing that most bothered me was the shape of the lipstick. It was difficult to maintain a straight line on my lips. I had to turn it to line my lips for an easier application. The flat shape was not easy to work with. 

You can get more information and see all the colors they have to offer on the Covergirl FB PAGE HERE or their web page HERE.

Perdue Oven Ready Roaster

Ok I just made my whole roaster tonight. My family of 5 loved it! I still have left overs for tomorrow too! It came out brown on the top and juicy on the inside. The seasonings were delicious. My neighbor came over and she tried it and loved it too. She called me about an hour later and wanted to know more about the chicken. I told her and oh yes I gave her a coupon so she could know what to buy and save some money too.
Here is our yummy meal.

Into the oven it goes all sealed up in the inner bag with a few cuts as directed to let some steam escape. 

After removing the chicken from the oven I poured the juices into the pan and added the veggies to cook for about 15 min. The chicken was still very hot after sitting out of the oven covered with aluminum foil and a towel to keep the heat in. 

With some mushroom flavored wild rice and veggies cooked in the juices from the bag

I added the juices from the pan to pour over my chicken. It had really great flavor. I was so glad to try this and I will definitely be purchasing this again in the very near future.

Oven roasters come in a couple varieties

PERDUE^® OVEN READY Whole Seasoned Roasters

PERDUE^® OVEN READY Whole Seasoned Roaster Bone-In Breasts

SMARTFOOD® SELECTS

I was part of the BzzCampaign for 

SMARTFOOD^® SELECTS

Although I was part of the campaign my shipment did get "lost" in the mail. I think some happy neighbor accepted and ate it. Good for them, but sad for me. 

I went ahead and purchased 2 bags from my local grocery store. You can see they had many varieties. All the bags were $3.49 

  I purchased one bag of  hummus popped chips in Feta Herb and the other bag in Garlic Tomato Basil. 

The texture was very nice and crisp with a bit of a nice chew at the same time. You can see all the herbs on the chip. It is quite strong in flavor. 

Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chip

 I like how it has a resealable closure to maintain it air tight when sealed. The bag

 It has about 3-3.5 servings per bag.

Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chip

 I have to admit to attempting to bring a bag to work and share with my co-workers, but It happened to be an extremely longer drive than usual and I ended up eating the whole bag. I never got to share it, but I have to say I enjoyed it. The flavors are very bold. If you like a strong flavored chip than you will really enjoy it. My only complain is that it needs more in the bag. You can check out SMARTFOOD SELECTS Facebook page HERE or smartfood.com to find out about all the flavors and types of snacks available.
