Newman's Own Organics Review and Giveaway

Image
And the winner is..... Robin Davidman!  I was sent a wonderful assortment of delicious foods for review from  Newman's Own Organics . If anyone has ever heard of their products I know your mouths are watering, but before I get started let me tell you about their company. Newman's Own Organics was established as a division of Newman's Own in 1993, then in the late 2001 became their own individualized company. Did you know since 1982 Paul Newman and the Newman's Own foundation have donated more than a whopping $350 million dollars to charitable and educational organizations world wide! The ingredients to these tasty treats and snacks have grown on farms that are free of pesticides and artificial fertilizers. I am amazed at how much snacks came in the package for review! I haven't tried them all yet though. They also have a wide selection from pretzels to dog food! Products I received: pretzels candy bars chocolate cups

Laptop Lunches Bento-Ware Review

Image
As a kid I remember skipping to the bus stop each morning with my shoes tied tight and the best lunches ever from the most amazing woman, I call her mom! I would remember the anticipation just waiting till lunch time to see what she had packed me! With lunch box in hand I would dash through the hall to lunch in the cafeteria and carefully open my lunch box, ah the joy of finding a treat! What was your favorite treat in your lunch box? Mine was cookies! The problem with some lunch boxes though they aren't big enough to store everything, especially containers and a thermos! The thermos would leak at times because the lid wasn't on tight enough, then your sandwich gets all soggy! Nobody wants a soggy lunch! Be creative and have fun with your food with  Laptop Lunches . I received a bento ware lunch box for review and I am loving it! Love the color, how it comes with containers so you don't have to spend all of that money buying them

Alvarado Street Bakery Review

Image
One thing I can never give up when eating sensible is baked goods such as breads, bagels or English muffins. I just got to have them,but in moderation of course. Most importantly is that they are not just satisfying taste wise but healthy as well. I used to eat a lot of foods that are processed, but I am more aware now of products that are made with the best ingredients such as whole grains and real products not those fillers they use in other breads. I was sent some coupons to try these wonderful products from Alvarado Street Bakery  for review. Started producing whole grain organic baked good for their local community in 1979, and can be traced back to Food For The People Not For The Profit organization in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1981 five brigade workers decided to form a worker cooperative and then  purchased the bakery and formed Semper Virens Bakery Food Cooperative. Which means Ever Green. Botanical name from the areas largest treasures i

Coffee Lens Mug Review

Tired of those little Styrofoam   cups always making a mess when spilled? Now you can drink your coffee in style with this creative camera lens cup from  Mob Stub . I know what you are thinking huh what?! Is it a camera or is it a coffee cup? I sure do love coffee as well as taking photos.

I am blown away at how it really does look like a real camera, it even has a lens cap with rubber grip focus! It's actually a camera lens coffee cup, no it's not a real camera but it sure does look like one! It's easy to clean and you can reuse it!

Boylan Bottling Company Review

Image
I was sent Boylan Shirley Temple sodas for review. First though let me tell you a little bit about the company and how it got the name. In 1981 William Boylan developed an elixir in his Paterson, New Jersey apothecary. He named it Boylan's Birch being a derivative from birch trees. Through out the years they were distributed in many forms and packages. Marketed as a soda fountain beverage in the early days before it was bottled in the 1900's. During the prohibition in the the 1920's it was actually contained in beer barrels! The birch beer was sold primarily in kegs to taverns in New Jersey. Their 12 ounce bottles that are creative by structure are well known. Boylan still today can be found in soda fountains at restaurants.  Not only do they have birch beer, they have a wide selection stemming from regular, club, seltzers, and diet! Flavors: Cola Grape Orange Black Cherry Ginger Ale Creme Root Beer Shirley Temp

Juil's Sandals Review

Image
I was sent a pair of these beautiful sandals from  Juil  for a review. When I opened the box the wow factor was set! I could not believe my eyes at how beautiful these looked and to add the perfect touch they added in a bag to put them in! Above in the photo is the super cute bag! They even have little toe inserts where your toes go right inside of the sandals! How cute is that!? When it comes to my feet I don't know about you but I need something that is comfortable and easy to walk in. Especially in the Summer time! Being at the beach is just enough sometimes walking on that hot sand all day without sandals or flip flops! Am I right? Your feet get burned and then you are uncomfortable and want to leave the beach which is no fun. Or even when you go out somewhere fancy and you have to dress up just a bit, these are the perfect footwear for that! They are pretty, comfortable and match just about any color or type of clothing yo
