SweetLeaf Review & Giveaway!!

For this review, I received five .2 ounce bottles of Sweet Drops, Berry, Lemon Drop, Valencia Orange and two Colas. I was kinda skeptical about the Cola flavored ones because it just doesn't seem the same as a glass of Coke. Well, with two drops of this flavor added to some sparkling water, you have that diet Coke taste in a much healthier alternative. I was able to try this out, and it was not what I was expecting! It did actually taste like diet Coke! And adding it to sparkling water, you have that awesome fizz!

SweetLeaf offers so many different products that are all healthy: Water Enhancers, Sweetener Packets, Sweetener Shaker, Sweetener Tablets, Organic SteviaExtract Powder, Baking Blend, Liquid Sweeteners and Stevia Dark Concentrate.

There was a recent 10 year study presented to the American College of Cardiology that showers women who drink two or more diet sodas a day were 30% more likely to have a heart attack or other cardiovascular event and were 50% more likely to die during those cardiac events than women who rarely consume diet drinks. The study suggests women who consume more diet drinks may be compensating for unhealthy habits, which then may lead to heart disease. SweetLeaf suggests a solution: Add two drops of Sweet Drops Cola to every ounce of sparkling water (or to taste).

The other three flavors I tried also had a really great taste! You really don't need many drops to your water. These are really great for people like me, who will go without drinking anything if water is the only thing to drink.

Toddler Mum-Mums Review & Giveaway!!

As you might know, I have twin toddlers who run my life, basically, and eat everything! Well, I was able to review some of these Toddler Mum-Mums, and my children loved them! I received two flavors for them to try out; Apple and Banana. I couldn't really tell you which ones my kids liked better, but they loved both of them! They are also great because they are good for teething, my kids each only have 8 teeth and they will be two years old in less than 2 months, so I am willing to try just about anything when it comes time for them to get a new tooth! 

There are other flavors as well as the two I was able to try; Organic Caramel, Organic Strawberry, Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry Banana. I was brave enough to try a tiny piece of each flavor I got, and I say brave because I've had many pretty gross baby foods and snacks, these were one of the few good tasting ones I have given my kids. 

Oven baked with no artificial flavors or colors, no preservatives, gluten free, lactose free, egg and peanut free, low in fat and no trans fat, no added fats or oils and each serving is individually wrapped, so they are great for those 'on the go' days. These snacks are healthy little rice biscuits that I'm sure your kids will also love! 

You can find more information at their website. They also offer Baby Mum-Mums for your younger kids, too. You can find a store near you that carries these products, and if you click here, you can find them on Facebook and YouTube, subscribe to their newsletter, check out their blog and even find coupons and discounts!

For the Giveaway, I will be posting it at a later date! Make sure to keep and eye out for it!! :)

Artisana Review!

When I was younger, I used to love peanut butter! I would eat spoonfuls of it out of the jar. Nowadays, my taste for peanut butter has basically turned around. So when I was given the opportunity to try out some other spreadable nut butters, I was all for it! I like a little variety in my life!

I was able to taste a large variety of the Artisana Butters and even some chocolate spreads. I tried them all on graham crackers and I was so intrigued by the flavors! It was almost as if I was eating the actual nuts, they were all really good. Their products are all made from raw ingredients and are even healthy for you, depending on how you choose to eat them, anyways. 

I received a decent sized jar of Walnut Butter with Cashews, a jar of Coconut Butter, Coconut Butter Squeeze packs, Coconut Oil Squeeze packs, Cashew butter Squeeze packs, Pecan Butter Squeeze packs, Almond Butter Squeeze packs, Macadamia Butter Squeeze packs, Walnut Butter Squeeze packs, and Cacao Bliss Squeeze packs. I couldn't pick a favorite out of them, they were all really good!! 

"What makes our Nut Butters so special?

Taste. Simply put, they are amazingly delicious.

Unique variety. In addition to our superior Almond Butter and Tahini, we offer unique varieties: Walnut Butter, Pecan Butter, Cashew Butter, and Macadamia/Cashew Butter. Our coconut products include the ever popular Coconut Butter and it’s related Cacao Bliss, as well as our Extra Virgin Pure Coconut Oil.

Fresh. We hand select only the finest new harvest nuts, seeds and coconut for our butters. Our almonds and walnuts are the best California has to offer.

Quality. All of our nut and seed butters are hand crafted in small batches in Oakland, CA with careful attention to detail using strict food safety protocols.

Organic. We only use 100% certified organic nuts, seeds, and coconut meat which means no toxic pesticides, chemicals, or genetically modified organisms. (Certified by QAI)

Pure. We don’t add any extra ingredients. No oil, sugar, preservatives or artificial flavors – Nothing. Which means that all you get is the clean, fresh taste of nuts and seeds the way nature intended.

Raw. Our raw products are made into puree with a temperature controlled process.

This means that all of the enzymes, proteins and vitamins are intact, in their natural state and fully utilized by the body.

Powerful – Forget caffeine! Packed with energy-laden nutrients, our nut butters are a great source of sustained energy. Healthy – Nuts and seeds in the form that we make them – totally raw and organic and processed into butter (purée) – are among the most basic and healthy foods one can eat on the planet, offering to the consumer:

• Non-animal proteins and enzymes
• Vitamins and Minerals
• Essential fatty-acids (including Omega-3, of which Walnut butter has the most)
• Fiber in all products more readily digestible than whole nuts…making them truly whole foods.
• Certified Kosher (KSA)

Made in a facility that processes tree nuts, but does not process any peanuts, gluten, dairy or soy."

Ellie Review!

Ellie is a fitness apparel company, so great for someone who would love to lose weight, i.e. myself! 

The tank top they sent me is the Zuma Canyon Tank. It's a cute, tight fit tank top with a built in bra! when I tried this on, I was very comfortable! I liked most about this tank top was the fact that it had the built in bra, so no need to wear an itchy bra while working out!

Now for the pants. I chose these Cool Down Capris. These capris have a cool moisture wicking feature! And they come pre shrunk. These were also tight fitting, but still comfortable! It was like wearing spandex, only cuter!

Ellie has also offered my readers a code to get 20% off their first order! Every five orders using this code means I get another article of clothing to do a review on! so order your clothes today!! The code you can use is: roney20

Pine Bros Softish Throat Drops Review!

So, being a mom of two kids who are always getting sick, I am also always getting sick! I know I'm not the only one who hates being sick and feeling like crap! I was able to try out the softish throat drops from Pine Bros as a review item! 

I was given the choice between Natural Honey, Wild Cherry and Black licorice. I picked the Natural Honey, I hate black licorice anything and every cherry flavored cough drop I've ever had always tasted to horrible! Well, the honey ones tasted great and got the job done! Right around the time I received them in the mail I was sick with a sinus infection for about two and a half weeks, so it was great! 

These are not like any other kind of cough drop I have ever tasted in my life! They weren't hard, they were gummy, like a gummy bear almost. Very unique! They definitely help my throat out a lot too!

Go ahead and get yourself some! You won't regret it! You can find their products at their website! Don't forget to like them on Facebook!

GoZym Review!

I was lucky enough to have the chance to review these GoZym tablets, which is great for me! I am constantly trying to find energy to do anything during the day. Plus with the lack of sleep I get from two, almost two year old kids, still not sleeping through the night, I am one tired mamma!! Energy drinks cost too much, I love coffee, but I hate drinking it hot, so letting it cool down in the freezer takes too long! Putting it over ice just doesn't taste the same, and to buy some frozen coffee, or iced coffee is also way to expensive! With these tablets, I can easily grab a glass of water and throw one in, let it dissolve and drink it! And they give me energy I need to make it through the day chasing after these two boys! 

The GoZym tablets are dis solvable and filled with electrolytes, along with other vitamins! Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, calcium, magnesium and Potassium. They also have just about as much caffeine as a cup of coffee. They are perfect for people who work out, if you have a busy schedule or even if you are trying to lose weight, since they are also a dietary supplement. I'm sure not for every meal, but for when you are feeling hungry for a snack or something along those lines. 

They are portable, too! Each tube has ten tablets in them, which is almost like carrying around ten bottle of Gatorade. No one wants to do that! They come in four flavors; grape, lemon lime, orange and berry. I was able to try the grape, orange and lemon lime and they were all super good. And this review is coming from someone who would rather go without anything to drink than drinking water, if that tells you anything!

You can find your GoZym tablets at their website! Along with liking them on Facebook. And make sure to follow them on Pinterest & Twitter!

SexyPop Popcorn Review

I got some more food to review for you all, this time, it's popcorn! Good popcorn! I received five different flavors to taste out: Brazilian Coconut, Black pepper, Bangin' Cheddar, Lightly Salted and French Butter.

I tried the Brazilian Coconut flavor first. I had to share it with Jordin while my other son was sleeping, He wouldn't leave me alone for more! Sadly, we ate the whole bag, and it was delicious! It was a sweet popcorn, but not like caramel corn or kettle corn. I would've liked it better if it had more coconut flavor to it, but it was still delicious!

The Black Pepper was my least favorite, I'm not a big pepper fan on any of my food, but I gave it a taste. It left a pepper taste in my mouth, it was almost spicy.

Then, there's the Bangin' Cheddar! Mmm Cheddar Popcorn! Another great flavor!

The lightly salted was also on my 'not a fan' list. It was more plain, like a natural popcorn.

The French Butter was like your classic buttered popcorn. It was good.

All five flavors were good, I liked some better than others. Brazilian Coconut was my favorite, my son's as well, while the Black pepper was my least favorite.

This popcorn is low on calories as well, for those of you trying to lose weight but love popcorn!

Grandma Hoerner's Big Slice Apples Review & Giveaway!

I am really not that big of an apple fan, but I pretty much love all fruit. These apples are not like anything I have ever tasted in my life! I was able to try six of their flavors: Raspberry Hibiscus & Coffee Extract, Natural, Cinnamon French Toast, Boysenberry Chocolate, Banana Mango & Hemp Seed, Pineapple Passion Fruit & Fiber, Blueberry Pomegranate and Cherry Vanilla. They were all very delicious! Don't let the flavors deceive you, they all tasted just as the pouch said!

Big Slice Apples started out with a young boy trying to recreate his grandma's recipe for slowly cooked apples. All together, Big Slice has created 16 different flavors to choose from: 

They have their 'pure' flavors: Orange Ginger, Apricot, Natural, Blueberry Pomegranate, Lemon Berry, Chai and Cherry Vanilla.

Then there is the 'be fit' flavors: Banana Mango & Hemp Seed, Peach Green Tea & Aloe, Pineapple Passion Fruit & Fiber and Raspberry Hibiscus & Coffee Extract.

Finally, their 'indulgence' flavors: Peach Bellini, Cinnamon Candy, Boysenberry Chocolate, Cinnamon French Toast and Caramel.

They all sound YUMMY!! The apples are all slowly cooked in their naturally sweet juices, then infused with the other natural flavors.They aren't crunchy apples, they're soft; I think they would taste amazing if they were warmed up a little bit before eating, but I wasn't able to try that out, I actually just thought about it.. :/ I did get the chance to try a little bit of each flavor, but whenever I opened a pouch, my kids would attack me! They loved them so much, I will have to get some more for them, and myself! Nothing like a healthy snack, not only for you, but the rest of your family, too. The worst part about it, sharing.

You can fins more information about how these apples are made and see what other things they offer at their website.

Fave 100% Fruit & Vegetable Juice Review!!

I was sent some awesome juice the other day! It was nice because I am always trying to find juices that are more natural for my kids. Most juices I buy from the store make them throw up, I am pretty sure it's mostly because of all the sugars. I normally get them V8 juices. This juice was nice because they loved all three flavors and I also was able to try each of the three flavors (orange tangerine & pineapple) (pomegranate blueberry & goji) and (strawberry banana & kiwi). I thought they were all good. I liked the flavor with the pineapple the most. 

I love that these juices all have three servings of veggies and fruits and are low on calories. Here is a picture to show you that Fave juice is much better for not only you, but kids too!

You can order your Fave juice here!
