Arctic Zero Review

Who loves icecream?!!!

 Oh I sure used to.... until I found out I was lactose intolerlant. Since that time I have learned to live without it, but recently I found out I didn't have to. Thanks to all natural Arctic Zero, now I don't have to skip the icecream! They have a tasty frozen dessert for those of us who can't eat the traditional icecream, and for those of us who are trying to make better food choices! I include myself in both of those categories. =)

Arctic Zero uses a blend of Monk Fruit concentrate and organic cane sugar to sweeten their yummy frozen dessert. They do not use any artifical sweeteners or sugar alcohols, and because of this blend it is also considered low glycemic!

I Like Book Review

Pick up your room! Don't slam your bedroom door! Please stop whining! 

 As parents we know our children have certain behaviors that we must correct, and well, I'll just say it, nagging is part of this Mommy's job. As a homeschooling Mommy I also have to say things like.... you need to check your spelling, Focus on your work not...., and things like,  "Stop daydreaming and do your math!!" 

I have heard the saying that for every negative, you should say so many positives, but sometimes especially when the kids are acting just wild and out of control....it's hard to remember that. That's why I have fell in love with I Like Book created by Meredith & Lance J. Looney! This books helps you say and discuss something you "LIKE" about your child!

The book is simple to follow, and so effective in helping you connect with your kids. Here's how it works....you fill in something you "LIKE"  about your child, and share it with them. You can do this everyday {for example, at bedtime} or even just once a week. This is such an awesome way to bond, and who doesn't like hearing what their parents love or LIKE about them?

Cook'n Recipe Organizer Review

 

I have been dying to try out a program to help me organize my recipes. With the shear number of recipes I have bookmarked on my laptop.... I will never be able to remember what they are exactly. Not to mention all my cookbooks, magazine clippings, and recipe card files that are taking up space in my kitchen and dining room.I have been known to buy a whole cookbook for just one recipe I saw flipping through it.... keep in mind it was probably at a yard sale, but still who has space for all of these cookbooks even if I did get the whole book for cheap?!!! I sure do not.... that is why the Cook'n Recipe Organizer has been such a blessing to my space.

Oasap Fashion Review

Recently I was accepted to be a Oasap Fashion Hunter!

Can not even begin to tell you how excited I have been to be able to review their clothing and accessories!

Know that I am not "model material".... but the best part about Oasap is anyone can feel like a model in their super cute clothes!

The three items I reviewed were the Vintage Style Rose Pendant Necklace, Retro Plaited Bracelet Pack, and Ethnic Print Sleeveless Bound Waist Long Dress in Blue.  

Since I'm more of a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl, I thought I'd pick a dress to review. Oasap has every style dress you can imagine, and I had a very hard time deciding which to choose. They are all so cute!!! The Ethnic Print dress is very comfortable and well made. It feels extremely soft against your skin. Think it is a great buy at only $28!

The accessories I chose to go along with this dress are surprisingly low cost but very good quality! I love the bracelets... all 3 are intertwined and just slide on...no annoying clasps. Oasap has tons of in style and unique jewelry. There is a piece to fit every style, and their prices start at only $8!!!

 

If you are looking for that perfect accessory, pair of shoes, or article of clothing to feel like a model without the designer price tag.... go check out Oasap!!! My wishlist is out of control! They really have tons to choose from.

Mara's Pasta Review

  We love pasta around my house. In fact, it's usually a part of most dinners! I have been trying to make healthier choices while shopping. Sneaking in better for you alternatives where my kiddos will not notice when I can. I have to sneak them in because if they even get a funny feeling something might be good for you.... they run screaming! {That's not a joke.... I should buy stock in hearing devices for my future! LOL}

While looking for healthier pasta options, I came across Mara's Pasta! This artisan pasta is 100% Whole Wheat, and made with Maragrain. This grain was developed to keep their pasta from being to gummy or the opposite, too gritty in texture. In just one serving you will get over 25% of your daily fiber. It is also an excellent source of protein...8 grams per serving in fettuccine, spaghetti, and penne (these are the pastas I have tried so far).  In a nutshell, they have perfected a pasta that my kids do not run from and I'm happy to serve them!

ToiletTree Products Review- LED Fogless Shower Mirror

When I first heard of ToiletTree Product's Deluxe LED Fogless Shower Mirror with Squeegee, I wondered how in the world they could keep it from fogging up in the shower!!! We do not have a fan in our bathroom, and our vanity mirrors fog up every time. This could shave {haha ;) } some time off my hubby's morning routine, if he was able to see and shave in the shower.

Almondina Cookie Review

We have been on a "Let's get healthy" kick at our house for over 1 year now, and I'm always looking for a new recipe or food to try/ buy that is both yummy and good for you. I just found these crunchy cookies that are both healthy and yummy....Almondina- a Delicious Cookie Without The Guilt!!!

Almondina cookies are from Yuval Zaliouk's, a symphony conductor and gourmet chef, Grandmother's Secret Recipe.  These crunchy cookies are actually good for you! Yes, you read that right.... Unbelievably Almondina cookies do NOT contain any added fat or cholesterol! They are also kosher and lactose free (which I love because I am lactose intolerant)!!!

I received a sampler pack to try a few of the flavors for this review, and we have had the hardest time choosing which ones were our favorite! They are all so good! See I love crunchy cookies, and each of the flavors have their own unique taste. They all contain plump raisins and of course, Almonds. My husband and I decided our favorites were the Original Almondina, Gingerspice, and Chocolate Cherry, but Choconut, Cinnaroma, and Sesame were delicious too. With over 10 flavors and a few that are even chocolate dipped Almondina is sure to have a cookie that will make your taste buds dance!
