Belicious Review & 20% off Coupon Code

​Heidi was a young, healthy, professional when diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer. After regaining her health she focused on nutrition as a critical component of maintaining good health. A former scientist and mother, she turned to her kitchen to create innovative blends of organic, anti-inflammatory foods, made convenient to suit her busy lifestyle. Unique in the pouched food world, Belicious starts with fresh produce and whole grains for optimal flavor and nutrition.

I received the 3 day cleanse from Belicious. Not only did I get to try out the cleanse but I got to taste every variety of food in a pouch that they make. This cleanse includes four boxes with four pouches of each flavor. It's an excellent deal because you get four boxes for the price of 3, plus free shipping! Each reset cleanse package contains 4 pouches of each flavor: 4 STRENGTH, 4 ENERGIZE, 4 VITALIZE and 4 REVIVE. 16 pouches of pure clean food. 

Along with this 3 day cleanse Belicious included a 3 day meal plan with recipes and everything. The plan is free of dairy, gluten and soy and it's very easy to follow. If you find you are super busy you can substitute one or more meals for a 1/2-1 cup of raw, no salt-added nuts or seeds. To get the most out of this Belicious cleanse you should be free of sugar (including juice), alcohol and caffeine for the three days. If you are like me and can't live or function without your caffeine then limit yourself to one small cup of black coffee or green/black tea per day.

​I'm super busy between, work, yard work, house work gardening and just over life so I loved these little pouches. I could grab it and take it with me anywhere I went. I can eat them while I work. I can have one while out in the garden and there's no need for a bowl or spoon just unscrew the top and you're ready to go.

DAY ONE: ~Breakfast: Oatmeal with nuts and berries, 1 Belicious Energize pouch. The ENERGIZE (Sweet Potato, Carrot, Pear) pouch includes Lentils, Chia, Veggies and fruits like yams, carrot, yellow beets, bananas, mango, sweet potato, orange juice and apple juice. It also has a dash of cinnamon. ~Mid-Morning Snack: 1 Belicious Revive Pouch The REVIVE (Balsamic, Beet, Spinach) pouch includes Lentils, Quinoa, Chia, Vegetables and fruits such as Red Beet, Spinach, Bananas, Yams, Pear, Sweet Potato, Orange Juice, Apple Juice, Lemon Juice, Carrot Juice and a dash of Balsamic Vinegar and sea salt. ~Lunch: 4 oz of pre-made organic hummus with gluten-free crackers, 1 Belicious Vitalize pouch The VITALIZE (Orange, Beet, Ginger) pouch includes Red Beets, Sweet Potato, Carrot Juice, Lime Juice, Whole Ground Orange, Pear, Split Red Lentils, Banana, Ginger, Lemon Juice and Fresh Mint Leaves Vitalize is my favorite flavor of the Belicious pouches. It has a bit more citrus taste. It's a little bit sweet and has a light flavor. Yummy!! Mid-Afternoon Snack: 1 Belicious Strength Pouch The STRENGTH  (Spinach, Kale, Orange) pouch is packed with Spinach, Kale, Sweet Potato, Carrot Juice, Pear, Lemon Juice, Whole

Ground Orange, Orange Juice, Lentil, Banana and a dash of cumin and sea salt.

~Dinner: Pan-Grilled Chicken Breast, 1 Vitalize pouch

​Make sure you drink 60 oz of water or herbal teas throughout the day.

DAY TWO:

~Breakfast: Oatmeal with nuts and berries, 1 Belicious Revive Pouch
~Mid-Morning Snack: 1 Belicious Energize Pouch
~Lunch: Avacado dip with gluten-free crackers, 1 Belicious Vitalize Pouch
~Mid-Afternoon Snack: 1 Belicious Strength pouch
~Dinner: Pre-Made vegan bean soup, 1 Belicious Energize pouch

Again make sure you drink 60 oz of water or herbal teas throughout the day.

~Lunch: 1/2- 1 cup raw nuts or seed, 1 Belicious Energize pouch
~Mid-Afternoon Snack: 1 Belicious Revive pouch
~Dinner: 4-6 oz baked wild salmon, 1 Belicious Strength pouch 

Each 4oz Belicious pouch contains 5 grams fiber, 3 grams protein, and 5 grams or less of sugar. All nutrients are from whole food there is NO ADDED SUGAR, no powders, no fillers, no concentrates and nothing artificial. Belicious pouches are vegan, dairy free, soy free, gluten free, nut free and non-GMO.         Belicious is far superior to juice and bars.  Belicious vs. Juice = Belicious has 2.5 times the protein, 1/6 less sugar and 10 times more fiber

Belicious vs Bars = Belicious has 1/3 less sugar, 30% more fiber and 1/3 less calories. Each pouch is only 90 calories!!!

After doing this 3 day cleanse you will feel better about yourself. I felt lighter and more energetic. I can see myself doing this cleanse again as well as buying some of my more favorite blends. It is so simple to take on hikes and camp trips. Super easy to toss into your purse or car. With Belicious you don't have to suffer through another busy day where you can't find the time to stop and eat. I hate running around and working hard but feeling blah and sick to my tummy because of lack of nutrition. Now that Belicious is in my life I will never have another one of "those days".

Super Grip Lock Review & Giveaway

Super Grip Lock is perfect for people that rent or travel and stay in hotels. 
Super Grip Lock attaches to and wraps around the deadbolt handle and doorknob or lever handle when the deadbolt is in the locked position to prevent the handle from turning so the bolt cannot be disengaged until the Strap is removed. Your door will remain locked even if someone has your key they can’t get in until the Strap is removed which is a prudent way you can protect yourself.

ABOUT SUPER GRIP LOCK“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Benjamin Franklin was right of course and his advice can benefit those who know the facts. Super Grip Lock is industry tested and highly endorsed by Police. It’s made with the durable self-locking hook & loop fabric which is easily modified and can be made to work on most deadbolts even the double cylinder:

1. If your deadbolt locks on the inside with a key simply turn the key to the locked position then slip the Elastic Pocket over the key and wrap the fabric around the key in the direction required to lock your deadbolt go under the doorknob or lever handle lift up until snug and firmly press the fabric together. It’s simple to do and we recommend you use a heavy duty key. If you buy a new key make sure it fits into the black Elastic Pocket before you buy it.
2. If your deadbolt was NOT installed using the standard deadbolt/doorknob template then the distance between the deadbolt and doorknob may be greater than the standard distance. In this case: Super Grip Lock may need to be lengthened and it’s simple. Press on 6 inches of 1-inch wide double-sided hook & loop fabric found at your local fabric store to the end of the Strap with the length of fabric you need to secure the deadbolt handle in the locked position.
3. If your deadbolt turn-handle is smaller than normal size it can slip out of the Elastic Pocket. In this case, simply make a small slit in the center of the Strap 1/2 inch below the Triangle Eyelet then fit the tip of the deadbolt handle into the slit, then holding the fabric in place; wrap as directed; it’s easy to do just be careful when making the slit.

1. WHILE LOCKED, slip the Black Elastic Pocket or Eyelet (located at the end of the Strap) over the Tip of the Deadbolt Handle/Key.
2. WRAP once around Handle or Key in the Direction required to lock Deadbolt go under the Doorknob lift up until snug.
3. FIRMLY PRESS the self-locking fabric together.

Super Grip Lock is such a good idea. I never realized how easy it is to open someones door. You can buy bump keys online to open doors so easily. If you can't afford a "bump resistant lock"
Super Grip Lock is a MUST for your home.
Keep your family safe.

_ What would you do if you knew anyone could buy a key online that opened locked doors and they could walk right into your home any time they wanted? Well, guess what? Bump Keys are available online.
Bump Keys open locked doors nearly as fast as a working key and threaten the life of nearly every family in America. Bump Keys have been in the news in various cities but most are still unaware they even exist. It’s shocking our government has not banned their sales nor have they warned the public they’re at risk. So murders, rapists, child molesters and other felons can buy Bump Keys online, walk in, and end the peace of mind families once had or worse; even if you own nothing of value you’re at risk.

Click ABC – Bump Key News or enter “Bump Key News” in your internet browser/search engine and view other trusted news sources that know exactly why American families are at risk.

HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF Learn the Facts: Bump Key crimes are preventable and knowing that can save your life and the life of those you love. You can protect yourself by installing Bump Resistant Locks. They are available in lock shops, some hardware stores and online. But, BEFORE you buy them learn the facts: Enter “bump resistant locks” in your internet browser/search engine and make sure you get the one that’s right for you. If you can’t install them yourself call your local locksmith.

If you rent, don't have a "bump resistant lock" or travel and stay in hotels ENTER BELOW..... One LUCKY Simple Side of Life viewer will win a Super Grip Lock.

I love Molly's Suds products. I feel good about using the entire line of home products knowing that it is safe for my family. It's even safe for my pets.  Molly's Suds sent me two full sized items to use. I received a bottle of Molly's Suds All Sport which is perfect for me. I always have tons of workout clothes to wash and the All Sport line is designed specifically for active families.  Eliminates tough odor-causing bacteria in performance wear through the use of “colloidal micelles”, which creates an energy field of safe cleaning power that penetrates and breaks up oil and dirt molecules into soluble components.

Stain Remover Tip:
Can be used as a stain remover by rubbing it directly into tough stains, or making a spray bottle diluted with a 1:1 solution of All Sport and purified water. Spray it directly into the stain and let it sit. Wash as usual.

When using this detergent you don't need as much as other brands. This bottle will wash up to 32 loads and all you need is a tiny cap full. With other detergents I have used in the past it seems like no matter how many times I run the wash or how much detergent or fabric softener I use I still can't get that stinky icky smell out of my towels. I know you all know that stink that I'm talking about. You grab a fresh towel and go to dry off and it's like it leaves a funky smell on your skin. So then you wash it again. It's a never ending cycle.

Molly's Suds All Sport will get that stink out. There's no need to buy new towels or toss your gym clothes. You don't have to live with that smell anymore.

LavHa Story:

Jessica moved into Nancy's neighborhood in Laguna Niguel, CA in the fall of 2013 and they became instant friends and soul sisters. Nancy was making stone bracelets for a local yoga shop as a hobby and Jessica used essential oils in her daily life. They wanted to do a crafts fair together for fun and offer an oil kit and bracelet. Through conversation, they thought about how neat it would be to combine the two, having seen the terra cotta diffusing necklaces, but wanting it in bracelet form. They tried to find clay beads that would be able to be used into bracelets with no luck. Through much experimenting they found that lava stone absorb and diffuse the oils beautifully. And thus, the first lava stone jewelry was created as an essential oil diffuser. They gave them away as gifts and realized that many people wanted to buy them for friends. The first website was created in August of 2013 and here we are!! We have since seen many people start to use lava in their own creations and being added into jewelry to be diffused and are pleased to see them being used as a healing stone and diffuser in one. 

LavHa has something for everyone.

With Open Road Snacks you can rest assured you’re doing better. For you.

The White Cheddar is one of my favorite flavors in the line of Rocky Mountain Popcorn. The popcorn is light and fluffy and has the perfect amount of flavor. Some popcorn brands I find the flavor is too week and I eat it wishing for more. Rocky Mountain Popcorn has a bold, cheesy taste as big as the Rockies. All Rock Mountain popcorn is GLUTEN FREE, WHOLE GRAIN, NON-GMO KERNELS, All NATURAL and NUT FREE. If you are counting calories like I do this popcorn is a great snack. I serving is two full cups and only 140 calories and 2 grams of protein.

Caramel Popcorn > Starting with brown sugar in a kettle, this old classic is made just how you like it. The crunchy sweetness will make you smile! This caramel corn is addicting, I can eat an entire bag of this sticky,crispy treat. One serving is 3/4 cup, 120 calories and 1 gram protein. ​ Kettle Corn > I am a huge fan of salty and sweet together and this popcorn has a salty-sweet taste as BIG as the Rockies—straight from the Farmer’s Market to your mouth. Now that’s taking your snack to new HEIGHTS. One serving is 2 cups, 110 calories and 1 gram protein.

The Butter flavor is another of my favorites. Yummy!!!   This is a light crispy popcorn with a rich buttery flavor. It has a just-churned taste and is made with a fresh pop of authentic farmhouse butter flavor. A two cup serving is 170 calories and 2 grams of protein.

This Jalapeno popcorn has a big jalapeño taste, made with natural peppers for a POP of authentic flavor. If you are a fan of jalapenos and a little heat you will LOVE Rocky Mountain Jalapeno light and crispy popcorn with a splash of spice.  One serving is two full cups and 140 calories with 2 grams of protein.

TheCheddar Bacon is by far my favorite flavor of all the Rocky Mountain Popcorn. I mean really, who doesn't love cheese and bacon? So to mix those flavors together and cover my favorite snack....popcorn....with it is magical.  The Rocky Mountain Popcorn come in a variety of size options.  White Cheddar: 1.5 oz, 3 oz and 15 oz Caramel: 4.5 oz, 9 oz and 30 oz Kettle Corn: 2 oz and 4 oz Butter: 1.5 oz and 3 oz Jalapeno: 1.5 oz and 3 oz

​< The NottaTin is an eco-friendly alternative to the traditional popcorn tin. This beautiful gift box includes 7 bags of popcorn: White Cheddar, Butter, Caramel, Jalapeno, Kettle and 2 Naked. >TheNottaTin - Large gift box includes 15 bags of popcorn: 6-White Cheddar, 2-Butter, 2-Caramel, 2-Jalapeno, 2-Naked and 1-Kettle.

The Sinfully Thin Line of on popcorn is awesome if you are hooked on popcorn like I am but trying to watch what you eat and count your calories. The blue corn popcorn is so light and fluffy. It's perfectly salted and best of all it's only 40 calories per cup. One serving is 3 cups, 140 calories and 2 grams of protein. I had never had blue corn popcorn before I received my Sinfully Thin and believe me....it's to die for.  ​It also comes in SuperPop, Herb and Spice popcorn with Kale and pomegranate and Smoky Red Popcorn with alderwood smoked sea salt.

Diego's Hot & Spicy Chips come in 3 flavors. I got to try two of them. Fuego Potato Chips are perfect if you like a lot of heat. These crunchy and spicy chips are a perfect pairing with any sandwich or alone. If you want to add some kick to your sandwich and you're strange like me you can stack these chip inside of your sandwich. Yummy!!! Habanero Potato Chips - IRico, Suave! Meet Diego’s Chips: the bold, spicy snack that’s positively brimming with the authentic flavors of the Southwest. Hot enough to make your taste buds represent—with a fiery spice blend that redefines the borders of great taste.

Nifti SafeLatch Review Discount Code & Giveaway

Keep your pet safe with this cool new easy to use dog leash. 
Nifti SafeLatch has a magnetic connection so you can connect the leash to a collar with a
one handed connection. 
Know it's secure once connected. 
Nifti SafeLatch is a new, patented magnetic dog leash that is an innovative, fun, robust, high quality, safe dog leash that automatically connects to your pet. 

First major change to the bolt snap latch since 1881.

Nifti SafeLatch comes in all the above colors. 
It only comes in a Medium/Large size. I have two small dogs I think it's a little too heavy for them. They don't seem to mind it but I felt the latch is too much on their necks. But, I happen to be dog sitting my Mom & her boyfriends HUGE (compared to my dogs) dog for a little over a month. We walk him, along with our little ones every night. I have been using my new pink Nifti SafeLatch on him. His name is Chewy.
Even though Chewy is a boy, he doesn't seem to care that the leash is pink, he just likes being out on his walks and I like the security that his leash is very secure and he won't get loose and away from me. 
When getting ready for a walk I can be leashing up my own dogs and easily attach the Nifto SafeLatch lease with my other hand. Chewy knows when it's walk time, he pretty much is at the front door before the rest of us. So I always have the leash handy, just click and it's on the collar ring and it's done. Easy!

Have you ever struggled to attach your dog to a leash while wondering if it was securely connected? Or, are you worried that your pet may get loose due to a weak bolt snap on your dog's leash? Fingers hurting or nails breaking? Nifti SafeLatch™ Pet Safety Dog Leash provides ease of use with life-saving benefits while connected to your pet's collar or harness metal D-ring.

New! Patented Nifti SafeLatch™ magnetic dog leash is an innovative, fun, robust, high quality, safe dog leash that automatically connects to your pet. Simply press down the easy to use thumb shape level and place the open latch close to the metal D-ring on your dog's collar or harness. As the latch gets close, the metal D-ring is automatically lifted and attaches to the magnet inside the latch. 

The sound of the "Snap" lets you know that your pet is safe and securely connected. To release, push down the proprietary thumb shape level and rotate latch away from D-ring to instantly release the magnetic hold.

The safety and convenience that Nifti SafeLatch™ robust design provides makes it a must have dog leash for all pet parents. Stay safe and get yours today!

BUY NOW

I keep trying to snap a picture of Chewy while using the Nifti SafeLatch but it never comes out right. I will try again tomorrow and edit this review. (he is busy sleeping right now)

The YouTube Video is above

Overall I think Nifti SafeLatch is a great, dependable leash. I live right downtown where it's very busy while I walk my dogs. I always worry about my dogs and now my Mom's dog breaking loose. I would be devastated if something happened to them. 
I hope Nifti SafeLatch comes out with a smaller leash for my smaller girls. They would love to be able to use this too. I do use this when walking my girl, but for now I am using it on my Mom's dog. Once he leaves I think I will go back to using it on one of my girls. 

Nifti SafeLatch would like to offer Simple Side of Life viewers 
20% off + free shipping
on the purchase of 2 or more leashes.

PLUS
One Lucky viewer will win one of these awesome leashes. 
Nifti SafeLatch will choose the color.

Bizzy Coffee Review & Giveaway (3 winners)

Founders Alex and Andrew started Bizzy with one goal in mind; to produce the healthiest and most convenient products on the market. Their journey began in 2013 while working in the corporate world and training for a 24-hour obstacle race. In order to be on their A-game, they needed to supplement a healthy lifestyle with something that could provide fast and healthy energy.  
During the summer of 2013, they stumbled upon cold brew coffee. It fulfilled all their requirements for the perfect source of energy. It was natural, sugar free, flavorful and simple, but there was one significant drawback, it wasn't at all convenient. Over the next several years their love and passion for cold brew blossomed yet so did their frustration with the lack of convenience and availability.
Using themselves as lab rats, they became obsessed with creating the highest quality and most convenient cold brew coffee possible. In 2016, Bizzy Coffee was launched.

Like most people my everyday is full from the second I wake up to the time I go to bed. There are just not enough hours in the day to get everything done. Sometimes I find myself racing around to complete my daily tasks and work and I am in constant need of a pick me up. I love coffee. I love the taste, I love the boost and I love the scent. As an artist I rely on a delicious cup of coffee to power me through my work. Working behind a hot torch on a hot day can be exhausting and the perfect pick me up is a large ice coffee.  Ice coffee is a lot of work or pre-planning. You either have to make a large pot of coffee early on or the night before and then set in in the fridge until it's cold or you brew a cup of coffee and pour it through ice again and again until it's finally cold enough. The problem with that is that it takes a lot of time and it gets watered down from the melted ice.  ​I really don't have the time to do all of this and most of the time I don't pre-plan to make a pot ofcoffee.

I discovered Bizzy Coffee Concentrate and my coffee life has completely changed for the better. When I'm hot and working hard behind the torch or out in the yard and need coffee fast so I can get work done I run inside and grab my Bizzy Coffee Concentrate. This stuff is AMAZING!! Trust me...I'm a coffee pro. 

Put away your Keurig, put away your coffee makers and french press. There is no need to spend your precious time dealing with all of that. You are too busy so grab a Bizzy Coffee Concentrate. Each of these bottles is 6 servings of delicious concentrate coffee.  BIZZY COFFEE IS COLD BREWED FOR 18 HOURS USING A UNIQUE BLEND OF BEANS RESULTING IN A PERFECTLY CONCENTRATED COFFEE.  CONCENTRATED WITH 3X AS MUCH CAFFEINE AS TRADITIONAL COFFEE COLD BREWED FOR 18 HOURS PRODUCING 67% LESS ACID USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC 100% ARABICA COFFEE NO CALORIES AND NO SUGAR   You can enjoy Bizzy Coffee hot or cold. However you prefer, or mix it up depending on your mood.  BIZZY is sealed for freshness with a foil seal technology. Before breaking the seal each bottles lasts for 1 year. After breaking the seal each bottle is good for 3 weeks and must be kept refrigerated.

To make your perfect cup of BIZZY Coffee in seconds mix 1 part BIZZY Concentrate with at least 2 parts water or cream. Serve however you like. ​ I personally like my Bizzy Coffee made with 1/3 Bizzy, 1/3 water and 1/3 milk or cream and poured over ice. Sometimes a dash of flavored creamer to sweeten it up. My man likes his 1/3 Bizzy and 2/3 flavored cream over ice. If you have a favorite flavored cream you can add it for a delicious sweet and strong cup of coffee. He loves the Belgian Chocolate toffee creamer so he uses that and sometimes I steal a dash for my cup.

You can also sign up for a coffee subscription and save 5% on your Bizzy Coffee order. You can choose your subscription and pick your delivery to be weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or bi-monthly. The subscription option makes it super easy to keep your home stocked with Bizzy Coffee Concentrate because the people at Bizzy know you are busy so sign up and forget about it.

Next they add agave syrup for a kiss of natural sweetness and their own expeller-pressed oils for no-stir results. The Creamy Peanut Butter is: Vegan Gluten-Free Expeller-Pressed Oils Sweetened with Agave ALA Omega-3s Non-GMO Project Verified 100% Natural 0g Trans Fat *

Earth Balance has a selection of nut butters. I would love to get my hands on their Protein Peanut Butter. It includes a plant based protein and has 25% more protein than the creamy peanut butter.  Earth Balance also offers their creamy peanut butter and creamy coconut & peanut spread in handy dandy little squeeze pouches. These are so perfect for on the go. You can pack these in your bag when going for a hike or camping or if you're like me you can just keep them in the car for a quick pick me up. They are great for in your kids lunches too for a yummy snack between breakfast and lunch.

Earth Balance organic culinary spreads will spice up your food in no time. Add a smear of Sweet Cinnamon spread to your toast or your waffles to give them a delicious kick.  Bakes some potatoes and drop a few spoonfuls of organic garlic and herb spread to give them a boost of flavor.  Earth Balance website has a fun recipe idea for each product they make. Just click on the product and the recipe will pop up. This gives you excellent meal ideas and so many ways to spice them up.

Earth Balance has almost all your kitchen staples and more. You can get snacks like popcorn, crackers and mac and cheese. I love the way they label their products with easy to read marked packages that clearly state if the product is vegan, non GMO, no trans fats and organic.

Aloha Hawaiian Stores, The Original Donkey Balls Store Review & Giveaway (5 winners)

Once upon a time, Kona Nightingale carried the freshly harvested macnuts from the fertile volcanic hills. An uncracked Hawaiian macnut looks much like a ball. Men processing the macnuts would laugh and say "here comes the Donkey Balls". And so began a tale of two balls.

All of The Original Donkey Ball products are made right in our store/factor.  Their mission is simple: sell top quality products made in Hawaii. Their online store lets you to purchase products right from our factory store including Gourmet Chocolates and Coffees, as well as some additional novelty items. Not only can you buy delicious chocolate balls but you can also buy sugars, rubs and sauces.

I received the most amazing package of goodies to review and enjoy from The Donkey Balls Store.

As everyone knows I am a huge coffee lover so I am super excited to be able to brew my own fresh cup of Donkey Ball Store House Roast every morning when I wake up. This 100% Kona Coffee is delicious and takes you back to Hawaii as you sip it's smooth, rich flavor from you warm mug. Close your eyes and imagine you are waking up on the Island and it will start your day out right.  This House Roast is not too overwhelming with no bitter aftertaste at all. Drink it black or pour a splash of cream in into it. I like to be be able to taste it's true flavor so I don't add sugar of flavored cream but some of you may prefer that. I think it's perfect just how it is. You can purchase this in 7 oz and 16 oz bags either in whole bean or ground directly from the website.

I am obsessed with this Coconut Macadamia Nut brittle. As you can see I ate it and couldn't put it down. I had to force myself to save enough for the picture. It is sooooooo good it didn't last long and now I need some more. It is the perfect blend of sweet coconut and macadamia nut. I am a huge peanut brittle fan but this beat the pants off any brittle I have ever tried or made. Kona Made Brittles come in 6oz packages and you can choose from Coconut Mac Nut (Hawaiian Coconut and Mac Nuts), Kona Coffee Mac Nut (100% Kona Coffee Ground and Brewed with Hawaiian Mac Nuts) and Kona Beer.  I must try them all! The Kona Coffee Mac Nut sounds so good. How could it not be amazing since I  know already their coffee is perfection. Yummmmy!!

<These Milk Chocolate Sea Turtles with Caramel, Mac Nut and sea salt are taste and hilarious. They look like Donkey plops hahaha but taste like heaven. They are milky smooth chocolate, a bite of chewy caramel and then they have the crunch from the macadamia nut center. The Chickin Balls that I received > are one of many flavors. I think I got the best ones because I love both lemon and cheesecake. These lemon cheese chicken balls are smooth and melt in your mouth.They are creamy all the way through and have no nuts. mmmmmm good :)  Grab a hand full of these balls and toss them in your mouth, you won't regret it and you will want to eat the entire bag at once.

I received the Salt N Vinegar Mac Nuts and they are awesome. I have always loved Macadamia nuts but I have never had them salted. I have always had them plain or chocolate coated. I really love them salted and with vinegar. These nuts are very high in protein making them an excellent snack before a long day or a tough workout.  Choose Salt n Pepper, Sugar n Cayenne, Sweet Mesquite, Garlic n Onion, or Roasted!Tasty Macadmia Nuts. Choose Salt n Pepper, Sugar n Cayenne, Sweet Mesquite, Garlic n Onion, or Roasted!

< Numb Nuts have a bit of a bite to them. They are Hawaiian mac nuts covered in dark chocolate and pure habanero extract. So if you like spicy balls you will enjoy these Numb Nuts. > The Boar Balls are one of my favorite. I love Fresh Balls, there is nothing better than this combination of delicious dark chocolate with a hint of mint coating a crunchy macadamia nut. Boar balls come in 8 awesome flavors, Thph Thph (chocolate covered with a hint of raspberry), Sunkissed (white chocolate & hint of orange), Prickly (semisweet & white chocolate with pineapple hint), Crusty (rich chocolate with toffee bits), Kiawe Smoked (rolled

in Kiawe Smoked Sea Salt) , Toasted (cinnamon & powdered sugar tastes like cinnamon toast) and Hot Boar Balls (HOT Cayanne Powder).

The Blue Balls are my second favorite of the Donkey Balls. In fact this picture is missing half the ball because I ate it before I could take the picture LOL. They are a super fun color blue. These Blue Balls are Hawaiian Grown Grade A Macadamia Nuts Covered in Semisweet Chocolate and then a Layer of white Chocolate colored blue. You get the best of both worlds.....a layer of semisweet mixed with white chocolate. These Blue Balls are so much better than any other Blue Balls you have had in your life. These are such a fun gift and hilarious to pass around at a party or BBQ. We had some friends over and offer them to taste our Blue Balls. Everyone had a good laugh and a delicious treat.

Salty Balls are perfect for the lovers of sweet and salty. I personally can't get enough sweet and salty treats so I truly enjoyed these. In fact I think there is only one of these left in the bag because everyone thinks they are amazing. These are Available in Dark or Milk Chocolate and rolled in sea salt.

​Kona Gogo Beans are Chocolate Covered 100% KonaCoffee Beans. Choose Dark and White Chocolate Mix OR Milk and White Chocolate mix covered 100% Kona Peaberry espresso beans. You can also get a bag of only milk chocolate or only dark chocolate if you prefer. Choose 4oz or 8oz I recieved the dark & white chocolate mix, they are sooo good. Chocolate and coffee go hand in hand so you can't go wrong buying these tiny bite sized sweet and crunchy treats.

The Donkey Ball Store even has sauces, rubs, honey, salts and sugars. I received the Numb Nuts Cavewoman Sauce. My man loves it on everything. I had it on steak and loved it. It is full of flavor and adds a touch of spice to anything you put it on. We have been BBQs. It's a great item to have on the table as well as a good conversation piece. These are hot sauces that have the taste of the islands, with a fun name and come in delicious and different flavors like Mustard, Banana, Mango, Pineapple, Zombie Repellant, Cavevwoman, Caveman.

You can buy all of these items and way more at The Donkey Ball Store if you are lucky enough to live or visit Hawaii. They have over 118 products to choose from.

Devera Naturals ~ MULTI-VITAMIN SERUM Review & Giveaway

Devera Naturals is a wonderful company with a wonderful story. 
I have been lucky enough to now try and host a review for three Devera products that I continue to use daily. 
​My favorite so far is Bodacious Lips, it's a wonderful lip plumping & hydrating lip balm that works perfect and my lips love it. 

MULTI-VITAMIN SERUM

Multi- Vitamin Serum is the newest of the Devera Naturals products I've tried. 
I now use this once a day. After washing my face I apply two pumps to my entire face, neck, and décolleté. 
I put the Multi-Vitamin Serum on at night, that way I have nothing more on my face. 
Since using Devera Naturals on my face I have noticed my skin is smoother and the few dry spots I had are now gone. I keep getting odd dry spots around my nose and in the corner of my left eye. No more, they are gone. 
My face has just overall been looking better. More vibrant and smooth. 
Since I am not one to wear much makeup, I like my skin looking the best it can. In the morning I just put on Devera Snow Flower Creme, lip tint, Devera Bodacious Lips and mascara. That's all...
I think the natural look is the best, especially for me and Devera helps me keep my face Natural.

I am a HUGE fan of Dom Mazzetti so I picked a few items from the Bro Science Mike & Gian line. I was so excited to see these clothes and products I had a tough time picking which ones I wanted. I must have more in the future. I will for sure be ordering again.

There are so many hilarious prints and being a long time fan I decided to pick the "Do You Even Lift" print and had it put on a zip up hoodie. The "Do You Even Lift" segment makes me laugh every time.....I LOVE my hoodie. I picked it in oatmeal just like to picture. I also decided to get a blackM&G logo hoodie.

These zip up hoodies are super comfy. They are nice and thick so they have been keep me cozy on the coldest nights. In fact, I am wearing one now as I type I love it so much. I love that with KottonZoo prints are the many options they offer. You first pick your print. Then you pick from Adult Man, Adult Woman, Youth Boy, Youth Girl or baby.

Next you choose your style, color, size and quantity. The style options are so cool I honestly want the prints in every single style offered.

The Adult Mens Style Options > T-Shirt,V-Neck, Tank Top, Long Sleeve Shirt, Sweatshirt, Baseball 3/4th Sleeve, Hoodie Pull Over, Hoodie Zip Down

The Adult Womans Style Options > T-Shirt, V-Neck, Tank Top, Racerback Tank Top, Crop Tank Top, Sweatshirt, Baseball 3/4th Sleeve, Hoodie Zip Down

You can also order the patterns in kids sizes and get T-Shirts and you can also order onsies for babies.

​ ​I can never have enough shaker bottles so I also ordered a Bro Science shaker bottle. This shaker bottle works a little different than the others I have because it does not come with the annoying rattling shaker ball. Instead it has a screen in the top that wedges in and you shake the water and protein through it. I like it because it breaks down the protein without being noisy and drawing attention. The lid screws tight and the drink spout has a snap shut top to keep the liquid from leaking .

I also got a really cute Campus Protein tank top. It fits perfectly and the print is vibrant. I have warn it and washed it a few times and it still looks like new.  KottonZoo has so more prints then I could ever list. They even have entire lines of product so for instance if you like the "Go Hard" clothes you can also find the same pattern in multiple products like,mugs, towels, phone cases and more.

KottonZoo hasshower curtains, gym bags, duvet covers, pillows, socks, hats, everything bags, hand towels, bath towels, stickers, phone covers, posters, fleece blankets, bracelets, bandanas and even dog beds. They have a variety of dog bed patterns and sizes. I picked the largest indoor fleece dog bed because I have a pack of dogs and my man Max is a 82lb doberman and stands tall. This bed fits him perfectly. All the dogs love this bed, it is super squishy and soft. I even fell asleep in it one night snuggling my pit mix Roxy dog. I woke up and was shocked at how comfy I had been. Even the malinios love this bed. Everyone is happy.....now I need 3 more. LOL

Check out KottonZoo and take your time looking at all they have to offer and then grab something for yourself, your friends, your kids and even your dogs. ​http://kottonzoo.com/                                                     GIVEAWAY!!!!!

SkinPro ~ Reveal of NEW PACKAGING ~ Review & Giveaway

The below is ALL NEW PACKAGING from elite serum RX

Elite Serum New Packaging

elite serum RX ~ Defend. Protect. Rejuvenate
EXTRA STRENGTH
Eye Serum

I have been using elite serum RX for a few years now. 
It's the BEST eye serum I have ever used. 
I don't have eye issues yet, no wrinkles crows feet, nothing like that, but if I can use something that will help defend & protect I will use it. I do though have dark circles under my eyes and elite serum RX does help for that. 
You can use elite serum all over your face if wanted, I do sometimes, but usually just put it under and around my eyes.
elite serum RX is a syringe looking serum that you push out a very small amount and add to your eye area. 
It dries really fast, leaves no stickiness or stiffness to your skin. Once dry you can put your makeup on right over it. 
I usually only use this at night, so after washing my face I apply a small amount to my eyes. 
Easy as that, not much to it. But it does work and my favorite part,
it doesn't burn or irritate my eyes. Most serums do. 

Overall elite serum RS is an excellent way to get rid of wrinkles, dark circles under your eyes and wrinkles and since it really does work, it's an even more excellent product. 
There are so many things out there that promise to get rid of wrinkles and a huge percent of them never work, at least not for me. So when I find something that does I stick with it so elite serum RX is my eye go to product. 

Elite Serum Unveils New Packaging

Makes 3 Lip Balms & Body Balms Review & Giveaway

Makes 3 was founded in the beginning of 2013 by a couple Kristine and Dan who were very concerned about the products and ingredients that they brought into their home after having allergy issues with their young daughter Alice. When Alice was 3 she had her first asthma attack which greatly impacted the family. A year later she developed eczema. After taking her to an allergist they were told that it was triggered by environment. The family was told to clean up her diet and watch the ingredients that the products they used were made of.

During this time the family became aware that Alice also had food allergies so they became cautious of the foods they put in their body and began to eat organic. Kristine decided to quit her stressful job and focus on her family and her true passions. The family always lovedscents and soaps and because of their organic lifestyle they created Makes 3.

Makes 3 sells amazing personal care products using only the best ingredients. They use essential oils to scent their products and bring you delicious smelling, luxurious feeling and safe for your family soaps, balms and bath accessories.

Makes 3 sent me an amazing package of balms to try and I truly love each one. I got 4 twist tube lip balms, 3 jar lip balms, 1 Lip & Body Balm, 1 cheek-to-cheek body balm and 1 hand balm.

These Makes 3 jar Lip Balms are amazing!! They are so silky smooth and glide on like butter. The tins are easy to open because they have screw top lids so you don't have to fumble and struggle trying to pry them open.  Of the three that I received it is hard to choose a favorite but I think the scent of the peppermint shea is my favorite. Every time I open the jar I close my eyes and relax a little. It smells sooooo good. They all smell incredible and leave your lips super soft. All of theseLip Balms are made with coconut oil which provides natural Vitamin E and natural sun protection.

They are, of course 100% organic and made of quality ingredients. They are hand made in small batches. You can buy them individually if you have a favorite or you can buy them in a trio set. I like the trio because you get to try each one and apply whichever scent you are in the mood for at the time. The trio also makes a very cool gift and the more you buy the better deal you get.

Makes 3 Organic Fizzy Soda 4 Pack is so much fun for both kids and adults. It comes in four fizzy flavors. Fizzy Root Beer, Fizzy Cola Soda, Fizzy Cherry Soda and Nourishing Lip Balm.  These lip balms have the same silky feel as the balms in the jars but come in twist tubes. Some people may prefer this traditional twist tube and some prefer the jar so it's wonderful that Makes 3 offers both.

As a glass blower in California I deal with a lot of heat and exposure to sun and fire. My lips are always dry, chapped or peeling so having a good, quality lip balm is very important to me. I hate it when I get the twist tube lip balms and they don't glide on smoothly. You know how they go on like a tough wax and you get chunks left on your lips that you have to smooth in? Grrrr it's so annoying. Makes 3 never does that. It applies properly, how you would want it to without any fuss. It's like butta. Smooth, silky and soft. Makes 3 Fizzy Soda Pack has kept my lips soft and hydrated since I received the set. My lips are not dry or cracking at all. My favorite of these flavors is the Fizzy Cherry Soda. Yum!! Grab a set for yourself or your child, I promise you will love them all.

​This Makes 3 Passion Fruit Lip & Body Balm is super cool. I love the idea of having an all over balm. It makes life simple. Sometimes I don't have my big purse or even a purse at all so being able to carry around this pocket sized balm is genius. If you are at a sports event or an amusement park or hiking in the woods you can carry this Lip and Body Balm in your pocket and use it for everything. If your lips get dry or your hands are cracking you can just apply this and voila you are soft and smooth.

Makes 3 Lavender Cheek-to-Cheek Body Balm is like magic in a jar. It comes in a larger sized tin than the lip balms which I love because I can kind of rub the heel of my hand in it and then massage it into my skin. I like using this balm from head to toe after my nightly shower. The scent of lavender help sooth me to sleep at night. It is a very calming scent that relaxes me to sleep. I really love using it after I shave my legs because it nourishes my skin and keeps my skin from getting itchy and dry. It rubs in beautifully and leaves your skin with a nice glow and no greasy layer. It is made with a blend of Organic Virgin Coconut Oil, Organic Shea Butter, Organic JoJoba Oil, and Organic Aloe Vera. It is rich in vitamin A, E and F and loaded with antioxidants. ​

Ylang Ylang Vanilla Hand Balm is the best hand balm I have used. I have sensitive skin and when I use products at times, particularly scented ones, I tend to get itchy or rashy. When my hands are super dry from working or from gardening and I put cheap lotions on it irritates my skin to the point where I have to wash it off. This Makes 3 Ylang Ylang Vanilla Hand Balm is so soft and gentle on my skin, there is no irritation or bumps or burning. I am loving that I can finally use a scented balm that soothes my rough hands. I like to rub my palm into the jar but you can also take a small sliver of the balm from the container and warm it in the palms of your hands and then smooth it onto your skin.

Makes 3 has awesome variety of products so make sure you search through their entire site and take your time looking at everything they have to offer. From Liquid Soaps, Bar Soaps, Balms and Bath Accessories. Makes 3 has something for everyone.      For every 10 bars of soap they sell they donate 1 bar to a locally-based non profit                       serving families in need.

I found Makes 3 in my favorite nursery/gardening store Harmony Farms in Sebastopol California. To find a location near you, use the locator list of the Makes 3 website: ​http://www.makes3.com/pages/where-to-find-us

If you can't find a location near you then you can order directly from the Makes 3 website. The more you purchase the cost per item lowers. There is FREE SHIPPING on all orders!!! PLUS if you spend $35 or more you get a FREE LIP BALM!! ​http://www.makes3.com/

Country Pasta Review & Giveaway

Country Foods was started in 1990 by husband and wife team, Dean and Linda Knutson, to manufacture Country Pasta. With the help of their two daughters and only one additional employee, Dean and Linda were able to produce, package and sell the new product. One year, they even harvested their own durum the old fashioned way with teams of horses and horse-drawn equipment.
These days they require too much semolina to harvest the durum on their own, but they still produce the high quality Country Pasta. Focusing on two varieties rather than many different products ensures their Country Pasta is the finest available. Their homemade Style Egg Pasta is great for soups, salads, main meal and side dish recipes. The Homemade Style Wide Egg Pasta is perfect for stroganoff and casserole recipes.

​ Country Pasta Homemade Style Egg Pasta comes in three different forms.  You can buy it in a 1 lb or 4 lb bag. It also comes in Wide Egg Pasta 1 lb bags.  These egg noodles are so delicious and can be used to make a million things. There is an entire recipe section on the website to give you yummy ideas of what you can cook for your family. I want to try the spinach fettuccine salad. When I think of Egg Noodles I don't usually think of salad so I am excited that I looked through their recipe section because it opened my mind to many new ideas.

There's even a custard type dish that's perfect for brunches called: Noodle Kugel Serves 8-10 1/2 pound Country Pasta Wide Egg Noodles 1/2 stick butter, melted 1 pound cottage cheese 2 cups sour cream 1/2 cup sugar 6 eggs 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/2 cup raisins Directions: Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Cook noodles 18 minutes or until the desired “bite” is reached; strain and set aside.  In a large mixing bowl combine all other ingredients; add cooked noodles and stir into mixture.  Pour mixture into a greased 9 x 13 baking dish.  Bake for 30 to 45 minutes, or until top is golden brown and middle is set.  Once removed from oven let rest for 10-20 minutes before serving.

We cooked up some delicious steaks and cut them up into bite size pieces to add to the Country Pasta Egg Noodles.

I received two 1 lb bags of Country Pasta Egg Noodles to try out for myself. These noodle are awesome. We made a steak and noodle dish with bourbon steak sauce. Bourbon Steak Sauce: ​• 4 teaspoons four-peppercorn spice mix or whole black peppercorns • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil • 2/3 cup bourbon • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) chilled unsalted butter, cut into pieces • 2/3 beef stock or canned beef broth ​• Steak drippings

Add 1 tablespoon butter to drippings in skillet; sauté 2 minutes. ​ Add stock and bourbon; boil until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Add remaining 5 tablespoons butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking just until melted. Spoon sauce over steaks or dish and serve. This recipe turned out perfect. It made plenty so we had leftovers the next day. It tasted just as yummy the next day as it did right after it was cooked so make a bunch and have leftovers.

Country Pasta is the best Egg noddle pasta around and you get to experience the goodness of homemade without the homemade mess.

You can find this pasta at a store near you by using the store locator on the Country Pasta website:  ​http://countrypasta.com/where-to-buy/

You can also buy this delicious pasta directly from their website:  ​http://countrypasta.com/shop1/

NeoCell Collagen Beauty Builder Review & Giveaway

I have done numerous reviews for NeoCell and never tried a product I don't love. 
I even purchase them on my own and also purchase the HYALURONIC ACID BLUEBERRY LIQUID for my 83 year old boss, she takes it every morning. 
NeoCell is a wonderful company with lots of awesome products. 
The products all contain Collagen. 
Collagen is a structural component of hair, skin and nail health.

I have been taking NeoCell Collagen Beauty Builder for one week now. 
I have VERY brittle nails, they hardly grow and when they do they break at the sides and I tear them off. Never have I had pretty nails. I am not sure if it's a lack of no thyroid or something else. I have tried all kind of pills, polishes & lotions, nothing has ever worked. 
In the short week or taking NeoCell Collagen Beauty Builder I have seen results that I am extremely happy with. 
I have also noticed my hair seems more shiny, hopefully with continued use my skin softens up and is less dry. But I blame that on having no thyroid and the windy weather that dries me out. 

Excuse my gross old lady hands. I know they are so old looking, I thank my Mom for that. (she knows i'm joking) The first picture with the white background is the morning I started taking NeoCell Collagen Beauty Builder the above picture with the brown background is right now, as I write this review. One week has gone by and I see results. I did trim my middle nail done to watch the rest on day one. Even the super short nail is grown and so far NO splits.

3 tablets twice daily. I swallow all 3 at once, morning and night. They are on the smaller side and go right down. They have no taste or after taste. I keep them on my kitchen counter so when I am getting my morning smoothie ready I take them and when I am preparing dinner I take more. 
I forgot 2 evenings, but that was because my Mom was in town and we went out to eat. 
I still got these WONDERFUL results with missing 2 doses. 
You have no idea how exciting this is for me. I am keeping my fingers crossed I continue to have such awesome results. Once my nails are a little longer I am going to file them all the same size and put polish on them. It's been forever since I had polish on my nails. 
Side note: the only reason I only took a picture of one hand is I still can't hold my phone in my left hand to take a picture, I don't have enough strength since my surgery. But my right hand nails are
growing the same andI love the results. 

Collagen Beauty Builder is an award winning, all natural solution for youthful, radiant skin and overall beauty that starts from the inside.

2013 "Best Skin, Hair and Nails Supplement" Delicious Living Magazine 

Loss of elasticity in the skin, thinning hair, and brittle nails are common signs of aging that are the result of diminished collagen levels in the body. This nutrient rich formulation provides the body with potent beauty building essentials for radiant skin, thicker hair and stronger nails.*

NeoCell Collagen Beauty Builder Key Ingredients:

Hydrolyzed Super Collagen: Collagen is a structural component of hair, skin and nail health. Collagen is diffcult for the body to use in its native form. NeoCell's pharmaceutical grade Super Collagen™ is enyzmatically hydrolyzed, providing low molecular weight collagen that is highly bioavailable and bioactive. Super Collagen™ contains 19 amino acids that help sustain collagen levels in aging skin as well as assist in rebuilding the skin matrix.* Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic Acid is a water-loving nutrient that hydrates the body and promotes skin elasticity. HA is nature's “moisture-magnet” and plays a central role in supporting the appearance of smooth, supple skin.*

Silica: Silica is a mineral involved in the transport of nutrients to the hair, skin and nails and ensures that hair follicles are supplied with all the vital minerals necessary for the growth and vitality of hair.* Alpha Lipoic Acid: Free radical damage is a major cause of skin aging, making potent antioxidants essential for healthy and beautiful skin. Because it is both fat and water soluble, alpha lipoic acid is a superior anti-inflammatory nutrient. This unique feature enables alpha lipoid acid to protect against free radicals both inside and outside the cell, whereas other antioxidants only provide protection outside the cell.* Biotin: Biotin is a B vitamin critical for hair growth and strengthening nails.*
