I'm back!!!

Hello everyone! I am so sorry about my absence over the past few months. There were a few personal issues as well as my final semester of nursing school, graduation and a HUGE test. I apologized for neglecting a few company reviews (which will be posted shortly) as well as giveaways. It was not my intention to take such a long period of time off. However I am BACK!! I have a few DIYs to post as well as some exciting opportunities.

Pampers Kandoo Review and Giveaway!


As part of my Boogie Wipe review, I was also able to review a newer line called Pampers Kandoo. They are a kid friendly line of products to encourage kids to get clean on their own. I was able to review the Pampers Kandoo Foaming Hand Sanitizer and Flushable wipes. I LOVED them and I will be buying them.

The hand sanitizer makes your hands soft and it won't create dryness because it kills germs without ALCOHOL! It also contains Vitamin E and natural fruit extracts to moisturize skin. It comes in this great KID FRIENDLY bottle. It has a large pump with a cute frog on top of the bottle! (pictured below) It is also non-sticky like some foam sanitizers can be!


 
The flushable wipes were also a hit in my house. They are for sensitive skin. Perfect for delicate hineys. I was able to review the unscented pack and fell in love with them. They are just what you need to feel fresh. Plus they are sturdy so no worries on that end!

Boogie Wipes Review and Giveaway!


For those of you who have little ones, work around little ones, or even are just around little ones, know the frustrations of boogers. The nasty little things that like to hang around especially this time of year. Well I have found a solution!! Boogie Wipes. These are gentle saline wipes that actually help get off the hard stuck on boogers...we all know what I'm talking about. The ones that kids fight you for trying to get them off their little faces. With continued use Boogie Wipes can also prevent chapped noses! These wipes also come in a variety of scents. I had the pleasure of reviewing the fresh scent, Great grape scent, and the Minty Menthol scent. I LOVED every last one of them. They work wonders and feel great! They look just like other wipes only they are sooo soft and smell great! My niece will now bring me her boogie wipes when she needs to blow her nose, instead of walking around with boogers. I will definitley continue using them and have recommended them to all of my friends and family with young children. This is a must have staple in all homes with small children!

Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisp Review and Giveaway

I had the pleasure of reviewing a variety of Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps.






These are DELICIOUS bite size fruit crisps. My favorites were the Fuji Apple with a touch of Pure Cinnamon. Other flavors which were just as great that I had the opportunity to try were the Fuji Apple, Asian Pear, Mixed Berry, Strawberry, and Strawberry Banana. I shared these with my husband who also LOVED them. He already established that we WILL be purchasing them in the future. We are both trying to get back in shape and lose some weights and we were so excited to see that each of these packs only contains up to 40 calories. With the Fuji Apple Cinnamon crisps, I let them melt in my mouth before I chewed them and the texture felt like a real apple! So many products I have tried that were either too dry and crunchy or didn't taste like the type of fruit that was advertised but not these! They were soft and crispy not dry and crunchy. Below is what the crisps look like!



Another cool thing about this product is that they also come packaged with Disney characters on the bags! It advertises to young children which we all know may need a little encouragement when eating healthy food.

Overall these are a great snack or supplement in your everyday routine that truly taste like the real thing. They are nicely priced too!

More about Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps from their website:
Brothers-All-Natural is proud to provide America with a healthy snack option, made from 100% fruit with no additives of any kind. Fruit Crisps are truly one of the best healthy snacks for kids and adults in the market today, made with 100% Fruit and Nothing Else - "The Fruit, The Whole Fruit, and Nothing But the Fruit ™"
Brothers-All-Natural sources fresh fruit from the greatest growing regions around the world. Then, at our state-of-the-art freeze drying facility, we gently remove over 95% of the water from the fruit, transforming the fruit into light, flavorful, "fruit crisps
".
Fruit Crisps are not baked – this causes the fruit to lose too much flavor! They are not dehydrated – this adds preservatives! They are not sweetened dried – this adds sugar! Fruit Crisps are Freeze-Dried - a process in which the nutrition of the fruit is retained and the basic cell structure remains intact. They are 100% real fruit, 100% natural and certainly 100% delicious.
Unlike other dried fruits, Brothers-All-Natural Fruit Crisps retain all of the nutrients of the fresh fruit. They are 100% fruit and nothing else; NO additives, NO preservatives, NO added sugar. Our Fruit Crisps are gluten free, soy free, Kosher certified, non GMO, vegan-approved, and allergy-friendly; they contain no peanuts or tree nuts of any kind. "



AND NOW FOR THE GIVEAWAY....

The winner will receive one 12-count package of fruit crisps in their choice of the regular packaging or the Disney packaging.

Each Package will contain
6-Fuji Apple Fruit Crisps
3-Asian Pear Fruit Crisps
