Smart Soup Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.



Do you ever feel like having some homemade style soup, but don't have the time to cook it?  This happens to me often and the canned variety just doesn't taste like homemade.  I want to introduce you to Smart Soup.  They offer frozen soup that tastes the way soup should taste.  It has a great homemade flavor and is made with quality ingredients.

Smart Soup is soup that is available in the freezer section.  This is a gourmet style soup.  You truly can tell the difference in the taste alone!  The soup comes in boxes and each box has 2 packages inside.  This is a quick and easy way to enjoy the homemade taste of delicious soup when you are in a rush.  The soup is also low in sodium, fat and cholesterol.  Smart Soup is gluten free and vegan.  Their soup is even certified by the American Heart Association.

Smart Soup is a family owned company based out of British Columbia.  Their soups are kettle cooked.  I personally love that the soup can go from the freezer to the table in just about 5 minutes.  Their soups are great for busy families.  The varieties we tried were a hit with our kids too.






Smart Soup is available in a selection of gourmet flavors.  I love that the soups are loaded with flavor and not extra junk that shouldn't belong in them!  Some of the varieties they offer include French Lentil, Greek Minestrone, Indian Bean Masala, Thai Coconut Curry, and more.  My husband loved the great flavor of the Greek Minestrone.  It was loaded with delicious veggies and beans.  My personal favorite is the Thai Coconut Curry.  This soup is a flavor packed gourmet soup that was impressive.  It has a nice amount of spice to it, but it's not overly spicy.

Reed & Barton Princess Jewelry Box for Girls Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.



I love keeping all of my jewelry neat and organized.  It makes it so much easier when I am looking for a specific piece to find it this way.  What do you use to organize your jewelry?  I personally love a great jewelry box.  My 6 year old has turned into quite the little lady.  She loves collecting her own pieces of jewelry too.  Reed & Barton offers a beautiful selection of jewelry boxes for girls.  They offer these in all different styles, colors and prices too.

I received a stunning girls jewelry box from Reed & Barton.  The jewelry box that I received is the Princess II Girls Jewelry Box.  This jewelry box is very impressive.  It is made of quality wood.  It is sturdy and durable.  It is built to last.  This would make a wonderful gift and you can even have initials engraved on it.  This would make a great gift for any girl.  My daughter loves it.  The Princess II Jewelry box has a gorgeous Mahogony finish.  This is a beautiful color.  The jewelry box is the perfect addition to any room.  It also looks great on a dresser.








The outside of this girls jewelry box is really lovely, but the inside of the girls is just as impressive!  It is lined with red velvety material.  I also love that it has hooks to hold necklaces.  This is perfect for keeping your items organized.  The inside also has the perfect spot to hold your rings.  I love the bottom drawer portion of this girls jewelry box too.  This has a number of different compartments that can be used for anything from stud earrings to bracelets.  

This is just one of the wonderful jewelry boxes for girls that Reed & Barton has to offer.  You can visit their website to learn more about these.  You can also your very own directly from their website.  You can also connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

191 Unlimited Ram Pullover Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.




My husband can be very picky when it comes to clothes.  I found an online store that offers great clothing for men.  It is comfortable, stylish and priced great too!  191 Unlimited offers a great selection of styles and their products would make excellent holiday gifts too!  They offer tops, bottoms, and accessories.



I really enjoyed looking through all the items that 191 Unlimited offers.  I fell in love with their Ram Pullover.  I knew that this was something that my husband would love.  It is not a heavy pullover though.  This is made of more like t-shirt material.  The pullover is super soft and comfortable.  It has a little bit of a fitted look to it to.  The pullover has a nice pocket in the front too.  This pullover is available in a variety of colors too.  This is a great comfortable and casual look, but it still looks put together.

This is just one of the many items that 191 Unlimited offers.  I have left some of my other favorite items below, so you can check them out.  You can visit their website to learn more or order.  You can also connect with them on Facebook and Twitter too.

HTY Gold - Body Gold Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.



It is that time of the year where the cold weather truly has an affect on my skin.  What do you do to keep your skin feeling soft and not all dried out?  I want to introduce you to a line of skin care products called HTY Gold.  They help nourish skin, but they also have anti-aging properties.  They do this with all natural ingredients too!  Their goal is to help people avoid that "Crepe-Paper"  looking skin.  The HTY actually stands for "hide the years."  I truly understand why they named it this after trying their product!






I received some of HTY Gold's Body Gold.  This is a product that can be used on your body and specially formulated for that.  The cream goes on silky smooth and "melts" into your skin.  It feels amazing on after a bath or shower.  This is a cream that is designed to not clog pores either.  I find that very important.  They suggest using it on your arms and your entire body.  My skin felt nice and firm after using it too.  I can't wait to continue to use it to see the long term effects as well.  The Body Gold Cream retails for $160 and can be purchased directly from the HTY website.

This is just one of the many products that HTY Gold offers.  They offer a day cream, night cream, eye cream, cleansing soap, body serum and more.  You can visit their website to order or learn more about their products.  You can also connect with HTY Gold on Facebook and Twitter too.

Stubb's BBQ Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.



I love to BBQ, but I rarely make my sauces and marinades myself.  What do you use to add flavor to your grilled meats?  I want to introduce you to Stubb's BBQ.  They offer a line of sauces, marinades, and more that will help you make BBQ food at home easily.  Their products can be used on chicken, beef, pork, veggies, and so much more!





I opted to try one of Stubb's BBQ Sauces.  They offer a variety of different types.  Not everyone likes the same flavors in bbq sauce, so this is great.  I picked up a bottle of their Hickory Bourbon BBQ Sauce.  This sauce has a really great flavor.  It's great for basting or dipping.  I love it with chicken, but there are endless possibilities.  This sauce has a nice hickory smoke flavor, but also the smooth flavor of bourbon.  It is not a super sweet bbq sauce and I truly enjoyed it.






I also tried some of Stubb's marinades.  I loved the chicken marinade.  I often make boneless skinless chicken breasts on the grill, but they can get boring.  I marinaded the chicken overnight and it was flavorful, but not too salty.  My family loved it too.  The chicken marinade has great flavor.  It is an onion and soy marinade.  Stubb's offers a variety of other marinades too.  They offer ones for beef, pork, and more.  Which one would you want to try?

You can learn more about all of the great items that Stubb's BBQ offers by visiting their website.  They also feature some amazing looking recipes that you can check out while you are there.  You can also connect with them on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest.

Splash Math Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.



As a parent it truly can be challenging to figure out how to exactly help your child in school.  I am always looking for fun ways to help my children do their best in both math and reading.  The common core standards are a bit confusing in my opinion.  I want to introduce you to a website that can help your child succeed, but it's also in line with the common core.  Splash Math is a website and app that allows your child to have fun while they are practicing their math skills.






I have a 6 and 8 year old and they both enjoy using the Splash Math website.  It is a website that allows  you to register and your child can do 20 problems for free daily.  I love that you also can add more than 1 child.  If you like Splash Math you can purchase complete access to a grade level for $9.99.  You can also pay $29.99 and this will allow you to have access to all grade levels.  I think this is excellent.  My children can work at their own level!  My 6 year old is in 2nd grade math this year instead of 1st grade math, so Splash Math allows me to tailor the skills to that.  

Splash Math is a fun and interactive way for children to learn.  Splash Math is appropriate for children in grades 1 through 5.  This is also a great way for children to get ahead on school breaks too.  I plan on using it over the Winter break to keep material fresh in my kid's heads.  This is also great for longer breaks like Summer.  My kids enjoy the Splash Math website and I know it's something we will be using a lot.

You can learn more about Splash Math by visiting their website.  You can also try it out for free by signing up for an account.  You can also find out about purchasing the app here.
