Jif® Peanut Butter and Naturally Flavored Cinnamon Spread review

Thanks to Crowdtap and Jif, I received a free sample of Jif® Peanut Butter and Naturally Flavored Cinnamon Spread.

I admit it, I was skeptical at first about how it would taste, and how anything could compare to traditional, regular Jif peanut butter, that was so good already! And, most of all, would the cinnamon flavor be strong and too overpowering?

I was so excited when I received my sample, and decided to make warm wheat bread toast with the Jif® Peanut Butter and Naturally Flavored Cinnamon Spread for breakfast for my family this past weekend. Upon opening the jar, I noticed its creamy texture, and the pleasant cinnamon peanut butter aroma filled the house as soon as I spread it on the warm toasted wheat bread. Great spreability, delicious aroma, and the best taste!

We all fell in love at first bite! Everyone loved the flavor, and wanted seconds. All you could hear was "mmmh" and "yummy!", and I knew we had found a new family favorite!

Jif® Peanut Butter and Naturally Flavored Cinnamon Spread has exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend you guys try it ASAP! You're missing out if you haven't tried it yet!

Culturelle Kids Regularity Gentle-Go & Culturelle Kids Probiotics

I love and trust the Culturelle brand, and have used their products for myself in the past. I was excited to receive their Culturelle Kids products complimentary from Smiley360 for testing purposes and to share my honest opinion about the products.

What I like about the Gentle-Go Formula is that it comes in a tasteless powder, in convenient single serve sticks, which you can simply mix into your kids' drinks, yogurt, or applesauce. I found it a little bit difficult to dissolve in water, and my kids didn't like the taste/texture of it in water much, but in other drinks like juice they didn't complain about the taste at all. I found it much more convenient to mix it into yogurt or applesauce, so my children wouldn't even notice. I really love the fact that the Gentle-Go Formula is a simple, safe, and best of all drug-free way to keep kids' digestive systems stay healthy and keep them from becoming uncomfortable by helping them stay regular! It's really convenient and easy to use daily. The only thing I would change is to make it easier to dissolve in water, and add a small slit on the single serve packages to be able to easily tear them open, so I won't need scissors.

I like giving my kids the Culturelle Probiotics Formula, the probiotics in it help restore the correct balance between good and bad bacteria in the digestive system, which is so important to keep their digestive systems strong and healthy. I think it is really good that Culturelle Probiotics makes my kids' digestive tract work better, which is essential to support a healthy immune system. It has definitely helped my 4 year old son's occasional diarrhea, and eased his and my one year old's tummy aches. What I appreciate the most is that the powder is completely tasteless and dissolves quickly in cold drinks and foods, it's very convenient to just mix into applesauce or yogurt, which makes it super easy to get even your little ones to take their probiotics daily, and they won't even notice it! I like the small and convenient single serve sticks, they just need a small slit on one side to make them easier to open, instead of having to cut them open with scissors. Great product overall, I recommended it to many family members and friends who would benefit from this product for their own children! Will definitely buy this again for my kids, too.

SHEBA Meaty Sticks With Chicken

Me (or I should say my cat) tested SHEBA® Meaty Tender Sticks for free, thanks to Influenster and SHEBA, and let me tell you: My cat loooves these meatstick treats so much, she won't stop begging me for more! :)

SHEBA Meaty Sticks with Chicken comes in a 5-pack of jerky-like looking, but soft meaty sticks. Each one is wrapped separately, so perfect for serving once a day (or more often) while keeping the rest of the treats fresh! As soon as I tore one of the meaty sticks packages open, my cat could hardly wait for me to take it out of the wrapper, the delightful meaty smell of the treat made her get super excited. As soon as I put the treat on the ground for her, she literally devoured it in two seconds! I've never seen her eat and love a cat treat this much! She kept meowing and begging for another meaty stick treat, so I gave in and gave her another one.
I actually had to hold on to the treat so I could snap a picture before it was gone in a second... :)

I'm very happy that I found a new treat for her that she loves more than any other treat! I'll be definitely getting more of these for my cat!

Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer review

Hello ladies and gentlemen!

Summer is slowly but certainly coming to an end, and the change of seasons is not easy on everyone's skin! If you're looking for a moisturizer for dry or very dry skin, or just a good working moisturizer in general, I recommend Curel Hydra Therapy!

Thanks to Curel and Crowdtap I was sent a complimentary sample of Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer to try out and share my honest opinion about the product.
Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer works by directly applying it to wet skin right after showering or bathing, and before drying off, while the pores are still open and the moisturizer is able to penetrate deep into the skin to fight dryness at its source.
I love how light the moisturizer feels when applying it, and that it absorbs immediately without leaving any residue behind! Maybe I should mention that one of my main issues, that keep me from moisturizing as often as I should, is that I just don't like the sticky feeling I get from most other moisturizers, this is why I really appreciate that Curel Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer leaves no greasy, sticky feel behind at all.
After using it for the first time I could immediately feel my skin being softer and smoother! I love that it makes my skin look supple and healthy, and now after using it for more than two weeks, my dry skin is completely gone!

I couldn't be more satisfied with this great wet skin moisturizer! I've finally found a cure for my dry skin! I recommend this product and will be buying it again.

Haagen Dazs Dulce De Leche Caramel ice cream

Häagen-Dazs Dulce De Leche Caramel Ice Cream

I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ICE CREAM!!! :)

Hey everyone!!

Thanks to Crowdtap and Häagen-Dazs, I was able to sample the Häagen-Dazs Dulce De Leche Caramel ice cream for free, in return for my honest, unbiased review. And let me tell you: It is DELICIOUS!!! This is hands down one of the best ice creams I have ever tasted! The Häagen-Dazs Dulce De Leche Caramel ice cream is a perfect blend of caramel and sweet cream ice cream, with savory, delicious ribbons of real caramel running throughout the ice cream. The flavor is absolutely amazing, not too sweet, rich, and creamy! It feels silky smooth, and just melts on your tongue like no other ice cream brand does! I love how indulgent and rewarding this ice cream feels when eating it, it's truly a real treat to reward myself after those long and stressful days. Häagen-Dazs is my #1 favorite brand of ice cream, always delicious and high quality, and the Dulce De Leche Caramel ice cream flavor did meet and exceed my expectations! I highly recommend this ice cream!

TIDE 3-in-1 Original Pods

My review of TIDE 3-in-1 Original Pods

Hey guys! I hope everyone's summer is going well! With lots of sunshine and great weather, our family here shares a lot of outdoors time together, and with it comes piles of laundry... you can guess!
It couldn't have happened at a better time that Crowdtap selected me to take part in the TIDE Pods sampling activation!

I have never used detergent pods before, so these TIDE Pods were completely new to me. I received 4 packets with 1 TIDE pod in each one. Two for me to try out and review, and two to share with a friend! (I also received a $2 off savings coupon, but sadly the coupon expired faster than I had noticed the expiration date.)
Here's a picture of my awesome TIDE Pods Crowdkit!

I decided to give them a try with a medium load of laundry in a hot wash cycle. I have a newer model front load HE washing machine, so I added a TIDE Pod along with the laundry to be washed into the washer drum, then started the washing cycle. I loved how convenient and easy it was to just toss a TIDE Pod into the washer, instead of having to measure messy detergent and adding it to the soap dispenser compartment.

When the cycle finished and I opened the washing machine, I could already smell the lovely, fresh TIDE original scent! I love this scent, it is actually the main reason I choose TIDE over other laundry detergents. Without having to add softener in the machine, or sheets to the dryer, my laundry smelled fresh and clean! It is good to know that TIDE Pods have 90% cleaning ingredients, while other brands' detergents only contain 15% cleaning ingredients. Not only do TIDE Pods clean, but they also brighten clothes and remove stains effectively, they are a 3-in-1 detergent product, which is great and convenient! Overall, my experience with TIDE Pods was very positive, my laundry came out stainless and smelling wonderful! I highly recommend it! And I will be buying it again.

Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid lip color

Review of Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid lip colors in the shades of Rebel Red and Nude Flush

Hey guys! :)

Today I wanted to share about my latest beauty additions: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid Matte Liquid lip color, #35 Rebel Red and #10 Nude Flush.

I received these products complimentary for testing and reviewing purposes from Maybelline and Influenster, but all opinions expressed here are 100% my own.

I love the new Vivid Matte color selection, they are so pretty!
These rich, intense lip colors are designed to glide on smooth to a matte finish. They contain 2x the pigments for intense color, and have a soft cushiony feel. I think it's great that you can choose how you like to wear them, simply by applying only once for a matte finish, or you can apply it twice for a shinier look! I'm a more natural type, so while I usually don't go for bright reds, I think both colors are really beautiful, easy to apply, and feel light on the lips. I'd choose the Nude Flush shade for every day use, while the bright & pretty Rebel Red for special occasions. There's only one thing that I didn't like about them, it is that the colors didn't last very long, only a few hours at most, they wear off too quickly.
Overall, I really want to try out more colors, and I recommend you try the Vivid Matte lip colors yourself, you will like them! :)
