CLOSED **WIN** DaVinci Gourmet Naturals Syrup Review and GIveaway 12/3

I recently tried DaVinci Groumet's  Naturals Syrups.  If you like making fun drinks at home these are for you.  I used the Wild Raspberry Natural Syrup in an italian soda and it was so good!  My kids loved the italian sodas.  It you haven't had an italian soda then you're missing out.  It's seltzer water or sparkling water mixed with a syrup that makes an amazing soda.  I like that I can add the amount of flavor/sweetness to my soda and make it exactly how I like.  The DaVinci Gourmet Naturals Syrups are perfect for that.  I also have been using the Hawaiian Salted Caramel Syrup in my coffee in the morning.  It's really good and once again you can control the flavor/sweetness that you want to add.  The Hawaiian Salted Caramel Syrup is made with Hawaiian Pink Sea Salt!  The DaVinci Gourmet Naturals Syrups are great because they are made with natural ingredients and flavors.  I also love the Madagascar Vanilla Naturals Syrup in my coffee.  It makes my morning coffee much more interesting!  DaVinci Gourmet makes a variety of flavored syrups and even makes Sugar Free Syrups.  I think that any of their products would be a really neat gift for someone this holiday season in a basket with some coffee or other goodies. If you want to purchase your own DaVinci Gourmet products you can find them on their website.

Oogie's Gourmet Popcorn is Amazing!

I recently tried Oogie's Gourmet Popcorn and it is so good!  I didn't want to stop eating it!  It comes in delicious flavors!  It is really hard to choose a favorite because they are all good.  I really enjoyed the White Cheddar and the Kettle Corn, but they are all delicious.  The Kettle Corn was the best Kettle Corn I have ever had.  It has a great balance of sweet and salty to it.  The Hatch Chili Con Queso is really good too if you're in the mood for a little bit of heat combined with delicious cheese.  My 4 and 6 year old loved the Movie Lovers Buttered!  I picked my son up from school today and brought him some of the Movie Lovers Buttered as a snack and he was in heaven.  I found that Oogies popcorn was fresh tasting, had amazing flavor and had no unpopped kernels in the bag.  It tastes fresh just the way popcorn should!  This is a treat that I can feel good about giving to my family.  


About Oogie's 


It comes in so many flavors!  Which flavor sounds the best?

• Cracked Pepper and Asiago
• Hatch Chili Con Queso
• Kettle Corn
• Movie Lovers Butter
• Romano and Pesto
• Smoked Gouda
• Spicy Chipotle and Lime
• Sun Dried Tomato and Parmesan
• White Cheddar

The best part about Oogie's Gourmet Popcorn is that it's all natural, gluten free, non-gmo corn, trans fat free, cholestrol free and 100% whole grain.  This makes me love Oogie's Gourmet Popcorn even more!  

If you are interested in ordering your own Oogie's Gourmet Popcorn you can head over to their website.  This would make an amazing gift for the holidays too!

HEXBUG NANO Habitat Review

My 4 and 6 year old actually told me about these when they first came out.  They think they are the neatest things and they are.  What is a HEXBUG?  It's a little robotic bug that somehow magically moves around.  It is so much fun to watch them run around.  We recently had the opportunity to review the HEXBUG Nano Original Habitat Set.  I opened the box and would like to say that putting this together was very easy.  I am not fond of toys that are difficult even for me to put together.  I like that the pieces of this set just snap together.  A great part about this habitat is that the parts can be moved around and your kids can use their imagination to customize the habitat however they would like it. We had fun setting the habitat up a few different ways.  We had a really easy time changing it around and it only took about a minute or two to rearrange the habitat a different way.  I love that the habitat keeps the HEXBUGS inside it, so the little guys don't wander around your house.  I like that the habitat starts you off with two HEXBUG NANO bugs to play with.  Also, these are two rare Nano mutations that are included in the set.    This is a great starter set and my kids really enjoyed playing with it.  This would make a great holiday gift.  I would suggest not giving this to anyone under the age of 3 years old though as the HEXBUGS are small.  This is a great gift idea for kids that like robotic toys.  It's interactive and fun.  This is a toy that will hold your child's interest and they won't bore of easily.  That is always great!  This is also a lot of fun for our cat.  He was thoroughly amused by the HEXBUGS and he thought that this was a new toy for him!  HEXBUG makes other types of bugs too!  What HEXBUG do you think your child would enjoy playing with?

Want to buy your own?  You can buy the HEXBUG Nano Original Habitat Set at retailers for about $24.99.

CLOSED Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce Review and Giveaway - Ends 11/23

I recently tried Country Bob's All Purpose Sauce and was so pleased.  We used it on BBQ steaks and it was delicious.  It's a great sauce for beef, chicken, pork and anything else you can think of to put it on.  It's a little different than just a normal steak sauce.  It's much more flavorful!  It has a little zip to it, but it's not spicy.  It's great for dipping or basting while you're cooking.  I am going to try it on my grilled pork chops next.  I can't wait.  I also have heard it's great on french fries.  That sounds good too.

Do you want to win 2 bottles to try for your self?  Country Bob's will be giving one of my readers 2 of their own bottles!

Peeled Snacks Review and Giveaway Ends 11/27 CLOSED

I was recently given the opportunity to try Peeled Snacks and they are great.  What are Peeled Snacks?  They are all natural dried fruit.  They are a great alternative to sugar sweetened and artificial fruit snacks!  I was sent a variety of Peeled Snacks to try - Mango, Cherry, Banana, Apple, Pineapple, and Apricot.  My favorite was the Apple, but they are all really good and healthy!  I really like that they have such amazing real fruit flavor and that's because they are made from real fruit.  They are organic too!  I love that there is nothing added to them like sugar or oils.  This is definitely something I feel good about eating and feel great giving to my kids.  Peeled Snacks can even be found at your local Starbucks throughout the US and Canada.

Hot Pants are Hot - Review #hotinhotpants

What are HOTPANTS?  They are workout pants that feel like they are made out of wetsuit material.  They increase the amount that you sweat and in return can help you loose in the areas covered by the material.  HOTPANTS are made of Celu-Lite technology that makes it so your body benefits more from your workout.  I am absolutely for anything that helps make me lose weight easier!  These are great to use during your normal workout activities.

I recently received a pair of HOTPANTS to try out and was very excited to see how these work.  I love to exercise and keep in shape, but the problem lately is that I don't have as much time.  I usually get in a Tae Bo or Bootcamp workout about once a week.  I put on my HOTPANTS as soon as I got them.  I wore them around the house at first and couldn't believe that I was sweating just from wearing them around the house.  Yesterday I put them to a test and wore them during my Bootcamp workout I do on DVD.  I will say that I felt like I got more out of my workout.  The area of my body covered by the HOTPANTS definitely got a lot more sweaty.  So, I am going to take the 2 Week Challenge.  Ok so what is that?  In some that tested HOTPANTS they were able to lose 2 jean sizes in 2 weeks just by wearing their HOTPANTS.  I will be using mine during exercise and when I'm doing housework to see if I can lose 2 pants sizes.  I've taken a picture of myself in my HOTPANTS so you can see what they look like.  Hopefully I can get rid of my muffin top by wearing my HOTPANTS!
