#OneCare #Travel Kit #Review

I travel a lot. Sometimes its casual, sometimes its business but either way, I hate packing. Especially when I have to pack dress clothes. Everything gets wrinkled and its a pain. LOL, now that I've vented, I'll get back on track. So when the oneCARE Company offered to send me a Travel Kit, it piqued my interest. Well, what do you think is in it? Or rather, what do they think is an essential part of a travel kit? Are you ready to open up this box with me?

#Green Tea Daily #Review

I LOVE my green tea, I really do! Its absolutely delicious and nommy and well, it has weight loss properties, which makes me love it even more. That's why when I had an opportunity to do a review with Green Tea DAILY, I jumped on it!

#Tiger_Balm_US Neck and Shoulder Rub #Review

Well, I grew up with Tiger Balm since when I was little, my grandma would always carry a stock supply on her. It brings back fond memories since whenever I wasn't feeling too well, she'd rub some Tiger Balm on me. So, I was very happy to test out Tiger Balm's Neck and Shoulder Rub.

#Listerine #Phineas and Ferb Bubble Blast Flavor #SMART RINSE® #Review

#BluApple #Review: Saving You #Money

I've had my share of food going bad. My fruits and veggies getting disgusting and half thrown out before I could eat it. So when I learnt of BluApple, this magical item that is supposed to keep fruits and vegetables fresher longer, I knew I needed to try it out. Seriously, I waste so much money in attempts to buy "healthy" food for me but in the end, its wasted money if I throw half of it or more away. Did you know the average 4 person family throws away about $600 in spoiled food a year? That's a LOT of money!

Lots of winners to announce. Its a happy day!

#ToiletTree Products #Fogless #Mirror #Review

We typically flip open our wall mirror to face the shower when we shower to use the mirror so when I was asked to review the Toilet Tree Fogless Shower Mirror. I thought, "Wow, how ironic. This would be perfect for us!" To be honest though, I was a bit skeptical as to whether it would truly work or not. I'm not a mind reader but I know you're having those same thoughts. :)

#Cardio in a Box & Juggle Your Way to #Fitness #Review

As most of you know by now, I'm big on fitness and health. Even though I don't have as much time to work out presently as I used to, I still try to do as much as I can. I have to admit though, I get extremely bored running on treadmills. LOL! So, I am really excited to share with you two hilarious and fun work out items.

#Lovable #Labels #Review: October #Breast #Cancer Awareness Month

Did you know October is Breast Cancer Awareness month? As a woman and a health care worker, I should know better, right? LOL, but I am human and no, I didn't know until Lovable Labels contacted me regarding a review. However, it is a good cause and many women suffer from breast cancer or will suffer from it sometime in their lifetime so it is a cause I will support. :) In support of Breast Cancer Awareness month, Lovable Labels has come out with "Think Pink" labels for moms, women, and young girls.

#Wonka Exceptionals #Chocolate #Review

OH MY GOSH! Who loves chocolate? You're going to love this! When I was sent some of Wonka's Exceptionals Chocolate to try out, I melted when I opened my box of chocolates! In it contained some nommy flavors. There were 2 new flavors which included Triple Dazzle Caramel (milk chocolate filled with luscious caramel, dazzled with sea salt) and Fantabulous Fudge (milk chocolate stuffed with fudge). I also received Chocolate Waterfall (milk and white chocolate) and Scrumdiddlyumptious (chunks of toffee, crispies and peanuts in rich milk chocolate) to review.

Untitled #Jersey Project: Episode 3 #Review

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Untitled Jersey City Project. All opinions are 100% mine.

Have you checked out my previous review of Episode 1 of Untitled Jersey City Project? Well, if you haven't, you should check out that review here. I am now doing the review of Episode 3.

I love my sticky notes. I really do. I have them in all sorts of shape and sizes. So when the opportunity to review Avery's newest idea, See-Through Sticky Notes, I jumped on it! How cool is that? I always layer my stickies and flip through them but with these, I don't have to. I can just see through and see what sticky note I need or what I've written underneath! Isn't that the coolest thing? And they come in all sorts of colors too!

PRE "to GO" Synbiotic #Drinks Mixes and Probiotic Drinks #Review

Have you heard about August Kitchen's new sauces, J-Burger Seasoning? Check out our review here.

#FlipFlop #Wines #Review and some Flipping Good Deeds

I am still in amazement at how these wines only cost $7 per bottle. I had a rough week this week and I really needed something to relax and soothe me over the weekend. Flip Flop wines really came to the rescue. I never really liked wine at the beginning. It really all began with my future MIL and drinking wine with her led to my eventual love for wine. Weird, isn't it?

#JBurger #Food Seasoning #Review

Okay, when I saw this, I really wanted it. I'll admit it! I love eating...if you haven't noticed but who doesn't? I was extremely excited for August Kitchen's new sauces, J-Burger Seasoning. They come in two flavors: Chipotle and Onion and Original Onion.

Untitled #Jersey Project Episode 1 #Review

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Untitled Jersey City Project. All opinions are 100% mine.

Untitled Jersey City Project is the newest thing in television drama. In eight short episodes, each episode is a small piece of a bigger story. Definitely not your usual TV series, it focuses on the fast moving and changing Jersey City Shoreline. Politics, betrayals, power, beauty, and money all mixed in a gritty Jersey city with the same old rules, all while trying to develop a shiny, sleek and new city. Win it all or die trying.
