Kashi Hummus Crisps are a Delightful, Healthy Snack!

I was recently given a free sample of Kashi Hummus Crisps, Sea Salt and Olive Oil flavor, by BzzAgent.

Here's a little info on this tasty snack:

This deliciously crunchable hummus experience contains:

• At least 3g fiber*
• At least 3g protein**
• At least 5g of whole grains***
• No partially hydrogenated oils
• No high fructose corn syrup
• No artificial anything!

You can crunch through three naturally yummy flavors: Caramelized Onion, Sundried Tomato Basil & Feta, and Sea Salt & Olive Oil.

*3.5g total fat per serving
**Not a significant source of protein (5% daily value per serving)
***Recommended to consume at least 48 grams of whole grain each day

Kashi Hummus Crisps are down right delicious.  I was a little skeptical and thought they might taste a little like some of the "Diet crisps" I've tried in the past from other brands but this was not the case.  These taste very similar to potato chips without all the grease and fat!  They pack a lot of flavor in one small chip.  I would definitely recommend you pick up your own bag today.

Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles - A Girl's Best Friend

I received Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles this summer to try out from their Sunkissed Voxbox program.  Ladies, if you try these insoles you are going to wonder how you ever lived without them!  Summer and high heels go together like peanut butter and jelly.  We've all worked hard to get our legs tan (faux or not) and got a clean shave.  We're wearing the shorts and skirts.  The high heels just complete the leggy look.  And Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles complete the high heels.

Check out these benefits:

• Helps prevent foot pain caused by high heels
• Proven to improve the way you feel in heels
• Unique ultra-soft FabuSTEP^® gel arch shifts pressure off your ball of foot
• Immediate and all day comfort
• Stays firmly in place
• Removable without damage to shoes
• Slim design won't make shoes feel tight
• Practically invisible, even in strappy heels

Let me just speak to the "pratically invisible" statement.  This is so true!  I was skeptical so I put them in sandal wedges.  Because they are not only slim but a clear gel, you can't see anything.

So go ahead, pick them up and meet your new best friend.  :)

As we enter allergy season, and you know, the season where the temperature rises and drops over and over so we're all left all snotty and sneezy, let's embrace hand washing!  Lather, rinse, repeat kids.

I was given the opportunity to try the NEW Lysol^® Touch of Foam^™Antibacterial Hand Wash for free from Bzzagent*.  What's so great about hand wash?  Wellll let me tell you...

It kills 99.9% of germs.  This is a big deal, especially with a toddler in the house.  It seems kids are germ magnets, as if we didn't have enough to worry about with touching gas pumps, using public restrooms and grabbing those shopping cart handles.  Kids just seem to multiply the germ ratio by a million.  The non-drip lather makes hand washing even cleaner than ever with no messy drip from the bottle.  I have an automatic soap dispenser in one of my bathrooms.  While it makes me feel like I'm living in the space age, it leaks and it makes me sad to clean up soap.  So redundant!  But I digress...

Lysol^® Touch of Foam^™Antibacterial Hand Wash smells heavenly.  The scent I received is Creamy Vanilla Orchid.  It's not a light scent, and while it's not overpowering it will make the room smell delicious for a few minutes.  Who needs a candle??  ;)

It's not harsh either!  Somehow the foaminess and moisturizer-enriched micro-bubbles leave your hands feeling soft after every wash instead of dried out and old lady-ish.  Yes, I made that up.  You know what I'm talking about though.

Again I say, no more leaky sticky soap bottles.  Antimicrobial properties are built in to protect the pump and resist odor-causing bacteria.  Genius!

This is all so important because health at home and in public begins with hand washing.  We all know it so let's all make a pact as a community to wash those hands!  Pump the soap, sing happy birthday a couple times and rinse.  Teach your kids to do the same.  For you, for me, for the greater good.  Check out Lysol's Mission for Health to see how they are spreading the word and the habit of hand washing around the world.

LOVING my Garnier Fructis Hydra Recharge hair products.  After a very dry winter my hair was definitely looking pretty rough.  Now that I've been using Hydra Recharge in the shower I can tell a definite difference in how my hair looks and feels.  Helloooo soft and shiny.

**This is another great free sample from Bzzagent.  Check out bzzagent.com.

The breakdown:

The shampoo has these awesome little scrubby beads for a deep hydrating clean.  So innovative and it feels so yummy on your head.  Smells great too.

The conditioner is infused with super fruits.  (Goji berry, passion fruit and kiwi to be exact.)  I know what you are thinking, but no, you should not eat it.  ;)  What you should do is rub it all up in your hair for a lasting weightless shine.

Last is the 1 Minute Moisture-Plenish Treatment.  OMG  I have to tell myself to use the only a few times a week.  Honestly, it makes your hair sooo soft and shiny without weighing it down.  I dare you to grab my hair - so. so. soft.

Go - try it now!!!

Hendrick's, A Most Unusual Gin...

Hendrick's is a cucumber and rose infused gin.  While I'm not usually one to partake in gin, I did really enjoy this drink.  My favorite cocktail was to mix a Hendrick's & Tonic embellished with cucumber slices.  Cucumber just girlifies things in general right?  Who needs to be a gentleman to drink gin?

It's not a typical ladies' drink however and it certainly appealed to my husband more than, say, a strawberry daiquiri.  :)  In fact, he downright loved it too.  So my recommendation is mix a tipple, raise your glass and give Hendrick's a try!  We'll be doing the same this evening...

*Coupon given to me by Bzzagent to try Hendrick's.  Thanks Bzzagent and Hendrick's!

CoverGirl Blast Flipsticks

I received a kit from BzzAgent last month containing 3 CoverGirl Blast Flipsticks.  They are so fun!  They are double-ended so, 2 colors in one right?  Wrong!  The 2 shades mix and blend well together for endless combinations.  Go with more shimmery light color and just a bit of dark for a subtle mix.  Highlight your darker shade with a light swipe of shimmer.  I highly recommend picking 1 or 2 up and making a date with your mirror to play around.
