Pure Market Express Review

I love  healthy food options that taste amazing.  That is exactly what Pure Market Express offers.  They offer products that are natural.  They also offer gluten free and dairy free items.  Their food is raw.  This is something new to me and I have always wanted to try raw food.  Pure Market Express offers a nice selection of raw snacks, meals, desserts and more that make mealtime easy.








I looked around at all the wonderful items from Pure Market Express.  I really had a hard time choosing because everything looked really good.  They offer lasagna, mexi wraps, hummus, pineapple slaw and so much more.  These are all raw foods.  This means that there is no cooking involved in these.  So, the lasagna is assembled with similar ingredients to a cooked lasagna.  However, because it isn't cooked they have come up with amazing variations to these meals to prepare them "raw."  Why eat raw?  Raw foods are very healthy!  They have lots of nutrients in them that way too.




I am a spicy food fan and love to snack, so I picked out some raw chips.  I received to delicious types.  I tried the corn chips and the mexi chips.  These are both really good.  They are made with a variety of raw and healthy ingredients.  They have a nice nutty texture and they are wonderful for dipping.  The mexi chips have a little bit more zip to them than the corn chips do.  We loved them both.  




What are raw chips without something to dip them in right?  I received some really good red pepper corn salsa.  The flavor on this salsa was amazing.  It was fresh and the flavors were bright.  It is wonderful to eat along with the raw chips.  This is a healthy snack that I could eat anytime!  I also received some sassy salsa.  I love this one too with the raw chips.  It has a great fresh flavor and I love the cilantro in it.  It's absolutely delicious.



I love to snack during the day (as I have said) and I received some raw spicy pepitos.  These have really good flavor from the seasonings.  They are a healthy snack and my 5 year old loves them too!    They are a great mid day snack when you are craving something savory.  

You can learn more about Pure Market Express and order these and other delicious items by visiting their website.  You can also connect with them on Facebook too!

Nature-cide Natural Pesticide/Insecticide #Giveaway 2/18 CLOSED



I often worry about using pesticides around the house and out in the back yard with my kids.  I often wonder how safe it is.  I also worry about this with pets.  I try and use as little chemicals around my kids and pets as possible.  A natural solution is a great solution to a pest or insect problem.  Nature-Cide has a great selection of insecticide and pesticide products that are natural.  They are products  you can feel good about using and don't have to worry about using them around your family and pets.  They are used with natural oils that work!




Nature-cide is a natural way to get rid of pests and bugs.  It can be used to get rid of roaches, ticks, ants, fleas and more.  Nature-Cide works by breaking down the protein that insects bodies are made of.  Nature-Cide even makes a bed bug spray.  I am totally freaked by the idea of bed bugs.  They even offer a travel size spray you can bring with you.  I love this idea.  




I received a bottle of Nature-Cide Indoor Pest and Outdoor Pest Spray.  I love both of these.  I love that I can use the Indoor Pest Spay in my house without any worries.  It works great to eliminate bugs.  I like that it has no funny chemical odor too.  I also am really pleased with the natural Outdoor Pest Spray.  It has done a great job getting rid of bugs and pests in my back yard.  These are both products that I can use inside and outside my home with confidence.  The best part is that the products are easy to use and work great!

Wantable.co Jewelry Review



I love that there are so many great subscription boxes to choose from now.  These are always such a fun way to try new products and it's usually at a reduced cost.  The best part is that you get surprises too.  I love getting something in the mail and not knowing what it is.  It's really fun.  Wantable.co has done this with makeup, but now they also offer a box you can get with jewelry too!







I really had a hard time making a choice as to whether I wanted makeup or jewelry in my Wantable Box.  I decided to go with jewelry because this is something new that they are offering.  It sounded fun to me.  Both their makeup and jewelry boxes are customized to your own preferences.  You fill out some specific questions on your style and then they put together a box based on that.  It works very similar too for their makeup boxes.  The questions they ask you for your box include thing like if you like silver or gold tones, rings, necklaces, bracelets, etc.  They even go so far as asking the style you like too!  I love that they really try and match every customer with exactly what they want.  That is important.







My Wantable.co box showed up and I couldn't wait to open it.  The package is packed wonderfully too.  Inside my box was a black velvet bag.  I opened it up and unwrapped my goodies.  It was really fun to unveil what was inside.  I received 4 great items.  I received a ring, necklace, earrings and bracelet.  All of these were picked out for me according to my style preference.  I love the necklace I received.  It is a fun neon yellow color and it has a fun punk rock style.  The necklace clasp is really neat and has a magnetic clasp and it makes it easy to get on and off.  I received a fun stretch ring that really makes a bold statement.  This ring also has a kind of punk look to it.  I love the chunky gold bangle bracelet too!  This is a quality bracelet.  The weight of it truly told me that when I put it on.  I also love the silver tone diamond shaped earrings I received.  These have a really nice classic look and are something that I could wear with pretty much anything.  I am very pleased with my box of jewelry from Wantable.co




The box retails for $40.  If you purchase and subscribe you can save on that price.  You will always receive a much higher value of items inside the box though than just $40.  The retail value of the contents of each box is anywhere from $80 to $100.  This is a great deal!  If you are interested in ordering your own box you can visit Wantable.co.  If you aren't that into jewelry and would be more interested in a box of makeup that is picked out just for you they offer that as well.  Both boxes are really fun!  

You can also connect with Wantable on Facebook and Twitter too!

Nailtiques Review and #Giveaway 4 winners! 2/16 CLOSED




I have bit my nails on and off now for just about as long as I can remember.  I know it is a horrible habit and have decided that it's time to stop biting my nails.  I have been looking around at ways to strengthen my nails because after biting them for so long they really aren't in great shape.  

Nailtiques offers some really great products that help strengthen nails.  You may need something like I do because you have bitten nails.  You may need a product to help repair your nails after you have worn fake nails for awhile.  Nailtiques has products that can help strengthen and repair your nails no matter what the reason is.  










I received a Nailtiques duo kit.  This kit contains a nail protein and nail lacquer.  The nail protein in this kit was their #2 protein.  It is meant for nails that are bitten (perfect right?), peeling, weak or thin.  They suggest that you first start out applying the protein to your nails alone without the lacquer.  You simply apply it daily.  It really does a great job strengthening your nails.  My nails were so bitten when I began.  I honestly didn't take photos from the very start because it wasn't pretty.  You can now see that in about a week my nails really have started to grow.  It's not even just that they have started to grow, but they feel stronger and thicker.  Once you have started to see an improvement in your nails you can use the nail lacquer that is included in the kit.  Then you just apply the protein on top of this.  It truly does work.




I also received a Nailtiques Hand Conditioner.  This is a great way to moisturize your hands and nails.  It really softens my hands nicely.  I definitely need this in the cold Winter.  The Hand Conditioner is also great to use when you are pushing back your cuticles too.  It helps soften them and it makes it easier to do.  The Hand Conditioner has quality ingredients in it like aloe and jojaba oil.  

These are just some of the great nail strengthening products that you can get from Nailtiques.  You can visit their website to learn more about all of their products.  You can also connect with them on Facebook too!

Giveaway - 4 winners total!

Shadora has so many great options too that would make great gifts for Valentine's Day.  There is still time to shop too!  The best part about Shadora is that it's so reasonable that it won't break the bank.  The jewelry might be reasonable, but it is still great quality!  Shadora even has quite a few items that are under $10.  You definitely can't go wrong with that price!









I received a pair of beautiful white topaz 2 carat stud earrings.  These are round cute and a great size.  They are 2 carats total.  The white topaz stones are really pretty.  I love the cut because it really adds to the sparkle of these.  These are stud earrings and have silver butterfly backs.  The best part about these is that they have a value of $79.99, but they are only $9.99 at Shadora.  They are so reasonable.  They are a great pair of earrings that have a classic look.  They are something that can be worn with anything too.  They are a good earring to wear for dressy, but they look great with casual as well.  What would you wear these with?
