Sahale Snacks sampling!

So I was picked to try Sahale snacks and to give an honest review in exchange!

First I want to say WOAW look at all of those snacks!!!!


So pictured we have (left to right) Sahale Pomegranate Vanilla Flavored Cashews glazed mix, Honey Almond glazed mix, 6 Salted Caramel Apple Pecan layered nut bar and 6 Almond Vanilla Latte layered nut bar!


So first thing first . . . I LOVED the Pomegranate Vanilla Flavored Cashews glazed mix. I have never liked pomegranate in my life until this moment. It has the perfect flavor of the twang from a pomegranate, sweetness from the vanilla and nuttiness/saltiness from the cashews. This in one snack I didn't share with anyone else. LOL


My next favorite was the Almond Vanilla Latte layered nut bar. It wasn't very sweet, the white chocolate on the bottom was heaven! The creamy cashew butter was perfect. It has real coffee in it, which is a natural pick me up. When you open the package you can smell the coffee, which is a major win for me! I love coffee.


One of the missions we had to complete was combining one of the snacks in with a food. I opted for my morning breakfast. Instead of using granola like normal I added Honey Almond glazed mix with a little bit of extra honey. It was fantastic, could have done without the extra honey, but over all it was good. I ended up getting some fruit and it was a great breakfast.


The last item, which I honestly didn't like that much, was the Salted Caramel Apple Pecan layered nut bar. I was expecting it to be sweet and it wasn't. Now don't get me wrong it taste good, but the other snacks were better tasting. I just wish you could taste the salted caramel more. The dark chocolate drizzle on top was perfect. I am a major dark chocolate fan and that was real dark chocolate. Yummy!

Over all Sahale snacks are an awesome experience that I think everyone should try, except those with nut allergies. I really like that they are all natural foods. Preservative-fre, wholehearted goodness, and organic! For anyone wanting to live a health life style with organic food this is the perfect snack for them. I really love three of my four sample and I liked the last one. I will definitely be buying the Pomegranate Vanilla Flavored Cashews glazed mix and Almond Vanilla Latte layered nut bar every time I needed a refill of the two. Both are super handy and will fit in my purse while not taking up a lot of room.

Weight Watcher, Start the New Year with a Glow Party!

I was picked to host a Weight Watchers, Start the New Year with a Glow party and I couldn't have been happier.

 - We ended up with a really awesome wall decor, two glow beach balls (we didn't realize you could put the glow stick in them), glow sticks, a selfie stick, Let's do brunch recipe book. journals, and temp tattoos! -

Almost everyone has heard of Weight Watchers and all the awesomeness that they are. However not everyone knows that they have changed thing and are now going beyond the scale with SmartPoints. SmartPoints is their new approach that is personalized just for you. or whoever is using Weight Watchers. SmartPoints go beyond the scale to help you get healthier, live happier and lose weight.

We ended you getting stuff to have a Glow Party and it was a blast. We danced, laughed, talked, ate, and got some free things including two door prizes I passed out to two lucky party goers! Oh and I also crocheted some scarves and head wraps for everyone so that they could use them while working out/walking outside during these cold months!

 Here are a few of our #glowment momments










The dancing was a lot of fun but the best part was the Blueberry-Peach Cornmeal Cupcakes that we tried from the recipe book. They had the best flavor, one party goer said they tasted like fruit loops which they did. Even my youngest daughter loved them and ended up eating 2 on her own. We also had some yogurt, granola, honey and strawberries to eat as well.




I'll post the recipe below for the Cupcakes.

I loved the tattoos they to me are a great little motivator "Keep Glowing" in gold and in a very pretty font.

Learning about the new Weight Watchers mew SmartPoints approach was fun, excited and taste full. I like that they are going beyound the scale and focusing more on me as a person, helping me to get healthier and happier while losing weight.


I really love the journals and even wrote a note to myself to remind my self to keep going strong.
"Keep glowing! You can achieve your goals and become the person you want to be. Remember to love yourself and all will fall into place. <3"

They sent a "You Glow Girl" spa kit and I made the hubby give me a massage with the rolling massager while I read s book after the part was over and I was done with the clean up. It felt good!


I've struggled with my weight for a long time now and it's been hard. I have started my weight loss journey (down 60 lbs) and I need a better approach. SmartPoints looks like it will be great for me.

Garnier SkinActive Party!

I was picked to host a Garnier SkinActive party! We received Garnier SkinActive Clearly Bright Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 and Micellar Cleansing water for free in exchange for an honest review!

So received 11 Garnier SkinActive Clearly Bright Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15 samples, 8 Micellar Cleansing waters and 2 Micellar Cleansing water for waterproof makeup as well as round cloths to use.


First thing we did was removed  our makeup with the Micellar Cleansing water and those that didn't have makeup used it to clean their face. First impression were great. It had a earthy smell and it wasn't harsh at all on our skin. It cleaned every bit of makeup off and it left use feeling smooth. As for me that is a major plus, I hate when your skin feels dry and hard after using makeup removers.


It was super easy to use, no one hand any problems opening the bottle, saturating their cleaning cloths or removing makeup/cleaning their face. We had skin type there, oily, try, combo, sensitive and acne prone as well as different ages. None of us had any mind of reaction.

Next we used the Garnier SkinActive Clearly Bright Daily Moisturizer with SPF 15. It too had a very pleasant smell, sorta citrus and earth. It went on smoothly and absorbed fully. As an oily skin type its a must that daily moisturizers do not leave me oily or looking shinny. Garnier Clearly Bright did that job wonderfully. I was left feeling smoothed, refreshed, moisturized and, best part, not oily or shinny!


We did have a door prize for the party. I crocheted a little gift basket, bought some makeup items and gave them away to one luck winner to take home!



Over all we all loved both products we got to sample and everyone said they would continue to use and purchase more when needed. Later after the party I even had a few comment and say that their skin was still smooth and that was a first for them after using a makeup remover and daily moisturizer.

I myself was very impressed and will continue to use/purchase these two wonderful products. I have always been a big fan of Garnier products and I am so happy that I got to try the SkinActive line for free.

I even reapplied my makeup after the party and I used the Micellar Cleansing water to removed it later that night. Still had the most wonderful outcome and was still very pleased.



Garnier SkinAcive line is one you must have in your bath room for you skin care routine from here on out.

Playskool Friends My Little Pony Toys review.

Coraline and I received Playskool Friends My Little Pony Toys in exchange for an honest review!






We received the My Little Pony Rainbow Dash friendship bus with Rainbow Dash as well as a two piece pony set the included Moondance and Minty. Needless to say she was SUPER excited!




She went straight to putting them on the bus and driving them around. When I asked where they were headed she said Pony Town and vroomed the bus on it's way. Coraline was introduced to My Little Pony by her big sister but was unable to play with most of them because of small pieces. The little Pony's are the perfect size for her hands and easy to carry, the don't get messes easy and if they do it's easy clean up.




She had a blast loading them and unloading them on the Rainbow Dash Friendship bus. She made walking noises and made them look as if they were going up and down steps. Once she figure out that she could push the pink button on the front of the bus to open the door she was at it non stop. 

Here is a short video of her getting to see her Playskool Friends My Little Pony Toys for the first time!


Coraline even got a little protective of her Pony's when big sister Montana came to see what was going on . . . 




She told her that these were her Pony's to play with. After a minute she gave in and played with her sister and they ended up having a blast. 







Over all she loved the Playskool Friends My Little Pony toys she got to play with and she has played with them every day since receiving them. This set of toys is her favorite set out of all of her toys.
