Quickie Review: EBOOST Natural Energy

A quickie review of the Eboost natural energy made with green tea extract in acai pomegranate flavor- in a powder individual serving convenience packet. Pros: -All natural vitamins -The vitamin flavor isn't as overwhelming as you would taste in other vitamins -quick to make -Vitamins: C, D, B-12 -Low calorie -No crash (that I could remember) -Many different citrus flavors -Fizzy Cons: -Strong taste -Water (at least for me) has to be super cold or perfectly warm -Price -Stevia -Flavor could probably still be improved Price: $28 for a box of 20 Rating (1 bad, 10 great): 6 Pro tip: Be sure to drink a large amount of water before pouring powder into water bottle and shaking, otherwise it will start to overflow while it fizzes/mixes.

Quickie Review: Kiss Nail Dress

A quick pros and cons of the Kiss Nail Dress, in my opinion. Let me know how you use and like them! Pros: -Compliments come rolling in (people said they were so bright) -Easier to apply than expected -Can do many designs if you cut them to make tips, hearts, squares..etc -Many extra stickers to do more than one full-set application (if you use and save excess stickers) -For the most part, stickers stick and stay well -Many different patterns Cons: -Stickers are too long for fingers and may not be wide enough for some toe nails (such as mine) -2 stickers fell off on day 2 -Price is a bit steep, even for the 2-3 "coats" it may give Rating (1bad, 10 great): 7 Price: $6.99 at all mass retailers and drug stores Application time: 25 minutes Link to the Kiss website: http://bit.ly/SipR5S Link to the Kiss review page: http://bit.ly/11cEdY7 KISS is a global brand, with products including nail care, cosmetics, appliance, hair care, and salon & spa equipment. ...

Quickie Review: Quaker Real Medleys Oatmeal+ in Peach Almond

I expected this oatmeal to taste like all others usually do, packaged and sugar loaded. Did Quaker Real Medleys live up to my typical oatmeal stereotype? Well, I encountered: Almonds of a good texture A Nice, filling serving size Less than a minute prep/cooking time Whole grain rolled oats And.. Juicy peaches!! Well, there were some not-so-good encounters too: Almonds became overkill Could use more brown sugar Sugary Product specifications: Price: $1.79 per cup Net Weight: 2.64 OZ (75g) Calories: 290 per cup Verdict: I am content with this oatmeal, while it still may have some typical sugary oatmeal flaws, I am still getting the chance to have a more convenient cup of oatmeal. I look forward to picking up many more of these. I do understand that with the price point, some may be hesitant- but as compared to other on-the-go meals (ie. fast food) the price adds up to not be as bad as a $3 chicken quesadilla from Taco Bell. As a bonus, this meal is going to fill you...

Ipsy: Jan. 2013

I felt so strongly about how great this month's Ipsy bag is- so I couldn't resist sharing it! But for the record, the last 4-5 months of Ipsy have all been amazing. Products included in this month's bag: 1. London Soho New York Concealer brush (full size) 2. Big Sexy Hair- Spray & Play- Volumizing Hairspray (1.5 OZ) 3. Pacifica- Tuscan Blood Orange- Body Butter (2.5 FL OZ) 4. Nailtini nail lacquer- 104 Frappe (.5 fl oz., full size) 5. Josie Maran- Argan Oil (.17 fl. oz.)

Very generous size, I've heard nice things about this brand and it's VOLUMIZING! 3. This body butter smells perfect, fruity. It's also not thick or as buttery as I expected. 4. Although its great to get a full size, I couldn't see the color at all on my nail AT ALL. This brand applies well though. 5. Smooth, subtle smel...

NatureBox - Healthy Monthly Snacks

NatureBox is another monthly subscription box. However, it is different. Each month, they send you nutritionist approved snacks! This month I received 5 zip-lock type, reclosable bags (as you will each month) with some snacks I never thought could be tasty or as filling as they were. Masa Crisps- These harder chip-like crisps are a nice bite-size. Personally I was less likely to shove a ton in my mouth as they were filling, salty, and crunchy to my liking. They also have flax seeds in them, which is great for you! Dried Pears- These tasty buggers taste fresh, not overpowering and they're FILLING! I especially found the outside skin of these to be an extra special treat. It was almost like I tasted sugar, but nope! Only dried pears here! (They're gone now btw!) Pistachio Power Clusters- Reading the word CLUSTER automatically fills me up, I'm not a huge fan of anything clustered as it can be a lot to eat in what feels like should be a bite-size piece. But, I'd like...
