Simply Snackin Gourmet Dried Meat Snacks Giveaway 5 Winners / Review Total Value Over $85!

High protein, low calorie Simply Snackin gourmet dried meat snacks.

I like to think of Simply Snackin as Jerky with a Healthy Flare!

 

I must admit, I wasn't sure what to expect when I received my amazing selection of samples to review. ***Keep an eye out below for your chance to be one of the lucky five winners of a 12 piece assortment pack of Simply Snakin**  So I had to check out everything about this United States based business that also uses US meat and poultry suppliers.

 

  I was thrilled to learn these delicious meat snacks are made with 100% all Natural Ingredients!  And each snack is individually wrapped in a perfect 1 oz portion.  Which mean you can enjoy any of the 6 flavor varieties as a healthy snack on the go without any regrets, as they only contains 60 calories each!!

 

Simply Snackin has definitely thought outside the box when it comes to creating their uniquely natural and gourmet meat snack line.  They use the best quality meat and poultry and combine died fruits and veggies along with all natural seasonings....the six different flavor combinations are then slow roasted at a low temp for a long time which creates the beautiful flavor fusions.

I must say I couldn't believe the flavorful aroma when I opened up my first package of Simply Snackin.  It made me want to dive right it and enjoy...which is exactly what I did.

 

 "Finally a Gourmet Dried Meat Treat that is full of moisture and flavor which is easy on my teeth"  Thank you Simply Snackin.

 

I have never experienced flavor profiles like the marriages arraigned by this US business.  Simply Snackin should go into the match maker business.... As all six of the flavors I sampled are certain to be together for ever.

 

Teriyaki Dried Beef Sirloin with Pineapples

Dried Beef Sirloin with Cranberries and Blueberries

Dried Beef Sirloin with Apples and Cherries

Dried Chicken Breast with Black Bean Salsa

Dried Chicken Breast with Italian Style Seasoning and Romano Cheese

Teriyaki Dried Chicken Breast with Mangoes and Papayas

 

Another thing I need to mention is that these gourmet snacks are not overly salty, which is great.  I feel it allows the natural flavor combinations to show their own beauty.  My favorite was the Dried Chicken Breast with Italian Style Seasoning and Romano Cheese.  It was fantastic!!!

 

So, what is there not to like?  Well, in my opinion..."Nothing...They are perfectly healthy and perfectly packed with flavor and lean protein". 

 

Simply Snackin' is helping me keep on track when it comes to better food choices, especially snack foods to help with my continued weight loss and physical fitness goals.

NEW Tart Cheribundi Tea and Juice Blends Refresh Giveaway / Review

NEW Cheribundi Refresh Juice and Tea Blends

I am such a lucky lady and have such a lucky family thanks to Cheribundi!!!

I am tickled pink or should I say red...since that is the beautiful color of Cherries, Cherries, and more Cherries!

Cheribundi sent me the most amazing sampler pack of their NEW Refresh Juice and Tea Blends line that just started hitting the the market in the beginning of 2013 and right now is available for purchase on Amazon.com.  And it my book..it was perfect timing!!  As we need to get our Cheribundi Refresh fix again Very Soon!  We are now HUGE fans.  Yes, I said "we".  My husband and boys and I LOVE Cheribundi Refresh!! (And as you can see in the photo above..I didn't even get a chance to photograph all our wonderful samples of Cheribundi before my darling husband snuck a bottle of the Tart Cherry Rooibos Tea)

Keep reading for you chance to enter a win your own sampler pack of Cheribundi Refresh Tea and Juice Blends.

Cheribundi Refresh is so hydrating and light.  It can be enjoyed anytime of the day and makes a perfect addition to lunch or even after a workout.  I love that each serving ranges from between 80 and 100 calories (one 16.9 oz bottle is 2 servings).

 

First I am going to share about our experiences with Cheribundi Refresh Juice Blends.

Each Juice Blend contains 25% Juice. 

And is made from fresh orchard tart cherries and some other delicious and healthy fruit.  Each of the five different options will certainly quench your thirst, but leave you craving another light and flavorful bottle.  I enjoy the natural colors of the juice blends.  They are just naturally beautiful.  And there is nothing wrong with that considering tart cherries are full of phytonutrients and anthocyanins.  Each bottle of Refresh Juice Blends contain 20 Tart Pressed Cherries.

Cheribundi Juice Blend Varieties Offered:

Tart Cherry Lemonade

Tart Cherry Blueberry

Tart Cherry Cranberry

Tart Cherry Pomegranate

Tart Cherry Raspberry

My favorite was the Tart Cherry Lemonade.  It was so crisp and light.  It wasn't overly tart and I found it very pleasant to enjoy without any acid issues. 

I am still amazed Cheribundi somehow was able to blend their amazing fresh tart cherries with other fruits, without masking the tart cherries flavor, yet enhancing the other fruit of choice that was blended together to form this mouth pleasing drink.

The four different Cheribundi Tea Blends went like wild fire!

My husband keeps asking me to PLEASE place an order for some more. 

I only was able to sneak a taste of each of these four unique and refreshing tea/juice blends from my husband.

Tart Cherry Rooibos Tea

Tart Cherry Black Tea

Tart Cherry Green Tea

Tart Cherry Jasmine Tea

Each of the four are naturally beautiful and allow the 5 Tart Cherries per bottle to marry perfectly with the different types of tea used.  Each bottle contains 5% Juice.

My husband was torn between a single favorite.  His top two were the Tart Cherry Rooibos Tea and the Tart Cherry Jasmine Tea.  Like he said..they are so light and a delight to drink.  They don't leave you feeling weighted down.  I found the Tart Cherry Rooibos to be very unique in flavor with an earthy undertone that left me wanting another drink to try to figure it out.


If you aren't familiar with Cheribundi's original product... It is a "premium tart cherry juice.  As you may know, tart cherries offer many benefits for runners, climbers and other athletes, as well as those suffering from gout, arthritis and inflammatory disease.  Runners in particular find that tart cherry juice reduces pain and inflammation, and aids in muscle recovery.  Tart cherries also contain natural melatonin, which promotes more restful sleep. You can learn more about" Cheribundi's original flavors and the benefits of tart cherries on their web site at www.cheribundi.com

on the back of the calender box.

You can even help keep track of the Countdown by crossing off each number on the Countdown Pal, mascot by drawing an X or coloring each number...(Countdown Pal is the yellow and blue calender in the photo above).

 

Another idea:

 

And if you want to wait and give a special child a Countdown to Easter Calender on Easter Sunday...they can open up all the wonderful flaps - which are easy to open and add all the foil wrapped chocolates into their Easter baskets.  Plus - they can find all the pictures under the flaps on the back of the calender.

Yes, I received the world's best  party necessities in the mail from Daily's Cocktails and Wholly Guacamole.  They sent me so much free stuff and are going to send one lucky winner from Fishful Thinking the same products - less the "Red Carpet".  Keep reading...so you can enter to win your own party pack including the same great items I received:

You can find out much, much more via Social Media about Wholly Guacamole - Facebook, Twitter and even Pinterest.  And don't forget to check out Daily's Cocktails on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest.  #RedCarpetReady
 
Let me tell you about our Pre-Oscar Party.  I felt it was a great way to view an Oscar nominated movie and enjoy great food and drinks.  Doesn't that sound like a perfect night?  Well, it was.
 
I decided to have Lincoln be my screening movie of choice for my friends and I.  They were excited to watch and and see what all the hype is....as Lincoln is nominated for Best Picture.  My expectations were high as the director is Steven Spielberg, and I was not disappointed.  I couldn't believe what a phenomenal job Spielberg did recreating such an important President in our American history.  

Lincoln revolves around the 13th amendment to the Constitution that would outlaw slavery in the entire USA.  It was awe inspiring to see how Lincoln used is political powers to obtain allies to aid in his fight.  I can't wait to see if Lincoln wins Best Picture on February 24, 2013.

Now the best part of our party...the food and drinks!!!

I must say I have frequently enjoyed Daily's Cocktails in the past.  Especially in the summer as they are so quick and easy to take along, freeze and enjoy.  Yes, the alcohol is included in each easy to squeeze pouch.  So all you do is freeze the pouch (I like to think of is as an adult juice bag)...squeeze it and get busy drinking.  You would swear that you had just made your own blender drink with out all the mess or expense.

So when I was giving this opportunity, of course I headed to our local Wal-mart and checked out their Daily's Cocktails selections. It was great to see how Daily's Cocktails have expanded their line to include three brand new light flavors.  I think my favorite Daily's Cocktail drink of the night was Pomegranate Acai Margarita.  It was so refreshing and went great with the spicy Wholly Guacamole.  **Make you Daily's Cocktails extra special with beautiful garnish...like the fresh mint I used in my photo above.**

I am such a chips and guac girl..so that is the main way I served my Wholly Guacamole and Wholly Salsas.

Guacamole & Spicy Pico - Can you say YUM???...The heat from the Spicy Pico is balanced by the creaminess of the Guacamole.  Definite Award Winner!!

But...my true, leading man...oh I mean Guacamole is the Spicy Wholly Guacamole.  It knocks my socks off everytime.  I love just to take a big spoonful and enjoy the smooth heat!

Thanks to Wholly Guacamole's serving suggestion for Wholly Salsa - I offered my guests of beautiful Bruschetta.


Thank you Wholly Salsa for the photo.

I was delighted to see what a difference Wholly Salsa makes in recipes.  The All Natural flavors and No Preservatives allows the beauty of each ingredient to shine through.

The Red Pepper Mango Salsa shocked my taste buds.  It was spicy, yet sweet.  Very complex like a great movie that keeps you wanting more.

You can also see other great recipes and serving ideas right HERE.

So who wants to win this great Oscar - Red Carpet Ready Giveaway??

And Thank you Daily's Cocktails and Wholly Guacamole!!

Alpha Hydrox 10% Enhanced Lotion Restore Younger Looking Skin Review

Alright ladies...the time has come!

 

We are all in denial!

 

Everyday we are aging...some more gracefully than others...

 

But, you can be one of the graceful ones with the help of Alpha Hydrox 10% Enhanced Lotion.

Don't worry...Alpha Hydrox 10% Enhanced Lotion is for all ages and varying skin types.  It can work for you.

This skin care product will continue to show results over time.  So the more you use it the better you skin will feel and look...so be ready for all the compliments you are going to be receiving!

Alpha Hydrox 10% Enhanced Lotion features AHAs (which is the initials for alpha hydroxy acids).  In case you have never heard of AHA...

AHA are all natural and found in foods like nuts, citrus fruits and sour milk.

The AHA used in the Alpha Hydrox I received to review is glycolic acid and it is made from natural sugarcane.

I have learned that AHA is actually an exfoliate.  So AHA helps get rid of the top layer of your dead skin cells.  Which leaves your newest healthiest skin on the surface.  Your skin will feel softer and smoother while staying plump and moist.

I know the thought of removing a layer of your dead skin cells can sound kind of painful and scary.  Not that case with Alpha Hydrox.  AHA's are gentler and less irritating to your skin that scrubs and dermabrasion.  Plus, AHA can be used up to twice a day.

I will tell you, when you first start using Alpha Hydrox expect a tingle on your skin for a minute or two.  I know I did.  It felt strange, but didn't hurt at all.  This tingle lets you know AHA is working.  But, it is normal for this tingling feeling only to happen the first few times you use Alpha Hydrox as you skin will adapt...but don't stress.  Even after repeated applications it will continue to work on your beautiful new skin. 

Just keep in mind your new skin will need to be protected from the sun, so wear sunscreen.  AHAs themselves don't make you more vulnerable to the sun, but the effect they have on the skin does.  But, we all know it is important to wear sunscreen everyday, anyway!

I love that Alpha Hydrox has the highest percentage of AHA available over the counter.  So you are getting all your monies worth.  And I was pleased to see how affordable Alpha Hydrox products are...under $20.  I have enjoyed using Alpha Hydrox and have noticed my skin feels more alive and looks so much younger.  My fine lines and wrinkles have diminished...I look like a well rested and younger me.  Thank you Alpha Hydrox.

If you are reading this review...tonight...Valentine's Day Night...there is still time to enter Alpha Hydrox's Facebook contest.  You can win a $500 cash card in this great Alpha Hydrox "Love Your Skin" Sweepstakes.  Just simply "like" Alpha Hydrox Skin Care and fill out the entry form on Facebook by midnight MST on February 14, 2013.

Don't forget you can also follower Alpha Hydrox on Twitter, too.

Prograde Genesis Greens Supplement Givewaway / Review $79.95 Value

I am thrilled that Prograde has asked me to review and giveaway another one of their Dietary Supplements.

 

Prograde Genesis

And just in case you missed reading my last review for Prograde's Fitness Workout Recovery Drink and Metabolism Supplement, let me tell you something about this high quality and excellent customer service orientated online business.

Prograde offers amazing and top quality nutritional supplements.  Yes, these supplements are of the highest quality so you do not have to worry about what you are paying for.  Plus you can take your time and browse through the Prograde website to find what will work best for your needs, with no pressure to buy like in other fitness stores.

Okay back to the product Prograde Genesis....

What is it exactly?  I had the same question.

Prograde Genesis is a Greens Supplement.  "GENESIS provides a delicious, convenient way to put out the fire of inflammation, while also keeping your blood sugar healthy and insulin function stable, your digestive tract healthy, and your immune system functioning at its best. In the process, it helps to keep you vital and strong enough to work, run, and play to your heart’s content and to look great while doing so. " (from Prograde's website)

Okay...don't start screaming and click out of this screen before you keep reading...Yes, I know the word Greens can be very scary and bring back thick, green gloppy nightmares!  I think at least a few of us have one of "those" stories. 

Prograde Genesis is very different...Please trust me.  They some how have managed to create a balance of flavors to make drinking your Greens a pleasant experience.

And each serving of Genesis only contains 20 calories if mixed with water...

Providing your body massive phytonutrient power (you would need to eat 5 to 6 servings of the best deep green leafy veggies and fruits to obtain this power included in one serving of Genesis)...and..."contains an outstanding Probiotic Blend that provides a plentiful supply of high quality, good bacteria"....and a healthy Fiber Blend which helps your immune system work properly.  The main ingredient in Prograde's fiber blend is Oat Beta-Glucan, which is a highly concentrated form of oat bran. It contains more beta-glucans than anything else on the planet, making it one of the most effective immune enhancers ever created.

Did you know Oat Beta-Glucan is recognized as a “super fiber” which enhances your healthy weight loss efforts and even helps you manage your appetite.

So have I changed you mind into trying Greens again?...but not any Greens....Prograde Genesis.

How about if I tell you Genesis is naturally flavored Lemon-Lime?  Well, it is and I know from mixing a pre-measured pack up in my blender bottle with nice ice cold water..Genesis is Lemon Lime flavored.

Genesis has a nice bright and tart taste that matches well with the natural Greens flavor profiles.  It is a little gritty at times, but I know what that grittiness is caused from and that is okay....

The slight grittiness is from Beta 1-4 linkages in the Oat Well 22 which makes the product less subtle in water...put some of the grittiness is partially responsible for the cholesterol lowering and satiety signaling benefits of Genesis.  If you are really sensitive to textures...let your mixed Genesis sit for a little bit..the glucomannan will start to firm up and suspend the grittiness a little so it may be easier to enjoy.

You can also try adding Genesis in your favorite juice for a more complex flavor profile.

I wanted to make sure I didn't forget to mention that Prograde Genesis is 100% Natural!  There are NO artificial colors, sweeteners or flavors. 

 

"Every Prograde product comes with a 60-day, 100% money-back guarantee. You've got nothing to lose (and everything to gain) by putting your trust in Prograde Nutrition!"

So who is ready to finally enjoy their Greens?  Win some for your self below..a $79.95 Value!!

 

Good Luck and Happy Health!

nuNAAT NAAT Treatment Curly Hair Care collection Giveaway / Review $25 Value

Do you suffer from Naturally Curly Hair?

Or do I mean?.....Do you love your Naturally Curly Hair?

 

I think being fortunate to have curly hair can be a blessing and a curse.  I know I do have natural curl to my hair, but the longer it gets the straighter it becomes.  Even though my hair is fine..the extra weight really ways it down.  And when my hair is shorter the natural curl can at times be unmanageable and even unbearable.

 

I know the proper haircare products can make a HUGE difference in how my hair responds to day to day living.  So when I was given the opportunity to try out a curly hair care collection from nuNAAT, of course I said yes.  And better yet, nuNAAT has offered to give away the same products I received to one lucky person.  Don't forget to enter for your chance to be the lucky winner!

It also helps to define your natural curls, but keeps them in check.  Bring life back into your dull dry hair!  And NO more frizz!

 

 

 

To be very honest...my most favorite thing about nuNAAT Curly Hair Treatments.....The amazing scent.  I feel like I am on a tropical island...and the scent remains all day.  Especially when I workout!  I LOVE IT!!

My most favorite product I received is the Hair Mask. 

It is so thick and provided my hair the moisture it was is need of.  It was simple to use and again smells so good!  All I had to do was leave it on my hair for 10 to 20 minutes and rinse out.  My hair thanks you nuNAAT.

The Shampoo was thin, but made a luxurious lather and was easy to rinse out.  The daily conditioner was also thin, but worked very well.  It felt like it totally rinsed out, yet left my hair feeling and looking healthy.
