Non-toxic and natural are key words that attracted me to earthkind Stay Away Spiders. The scent emitted by the spider repellent pouch is unobtrusive and pleasant .  No mess is a decided plus - I just removed the pouch from the packaging and popped it under my dishwasher near my back door. This product is designed to deter spiders using essential oils that spiders find offensive so they avoid the area. It is suggested to repeat treatments until the desired result is achieved. Now that I know where to purchase Stay Away Spiders I plan to do just that. I found mine at Lowe's Lilburn, Georgia. It is available at varied regional stores as well as online. ~~~> Grab A 20% off coupon!!!

#LookatyouGo  I am really delighted that SToK Cold Brew Coffee is available at the Kroger near me. I love the convenience of just being able to pour a smooth great tasting cup of coffee any time I want. Some of my family  moved an hour away in the country and a bottle of chocolate SToK is great for the long rides. How to find your SToK ? I am stoked to share the STok store locator                                              STOK !!!!! Just imagine - waking up and opening the fridge, yawn and there is a shiny 48 ounce bottle of SToK cold brew coffee in your favorite flavor beckoning you to pour yourself some java. No mess and no waiting - unless you miss your cup. If you were getting coffee the old fashioned way you might have burned yourself! SToK Cold Brew Coffee is steeped for a minimum of ten hours and has a smooth, bold and slightly sweet flav...

  There are two things that really stood out when I first used Mrs.Meyer's Clean Day Honeysuckle Body Wash. The first is the sweet smell of honeysuckle that envelopes you like a warm embrace in the shower. The second was how hydrated my skin felt so I am ready for actual warm embraces. My slightly gruff husband said "You smell good" as an added bonus. The honeysuckle scent is quite noticeable in the shower and fades quickly. I actually like this because I like to use perfume so it just adds a soft flavor to your scent and makes your shower more enjoyable. I also like the 16 oz size and practical container. Easy to use while bathing and you can see how much you have. I am rather new to Mrs.Meyer's products and I am very pleased thus far. They have a comprehensive website and there are a lot of new to me products and what is in them, how the ingredients work and just tons more. Really a fun site and I look forward to exploring it more.         ...

Creamy and delicious are the first two things I thought when I first tried Silk Protein Nutmilk. Great boost to a healthy breakfast. Inspired I created Nutty Nutmeg Banana Silkshake - No exact measurements . Put your ice cream or frozen yogurt in the blender, add a finely sliced banana and some sprinkles of nutmeg (I adore freshly ground) and pour Silk Protein Nutmilk in slowly until the ice cream rises then use the mix setting to desired consistency.Yum! I also added a few splashes to a commercial coffee drink as I often find them to be too sweet. The Silk Protein Nutmilk added a creamy texture as well as made my treat a little healthier.  Silk is the brand that has the flavors I want in the sizes I want.  I like their commitment to making the world a healthier place and it is true that Silk makes my home a healthier place. Silk is the first soy milk I ever tried and I am enjoying trying all the new varieties such as Silk Protein Nutmilk.  I received com...

Powerful Stuff is what I need in the room I call "Man Land" also known as the small master bath in our bedroom. A little Magic could go a long way in tackling these tough odors especially since there is a hamper in there. With socks in it. I have found such powerful magic in a product call Citrus Magic Tropical Citrus Blend Air Freshener and a little goes a long way.  One small squirt through the dreaded doorway and Voila' ... powerful Non-Aerosol released natural citrus oils which permeated the room as well as into the bedroom. Seriously a little bit goes a long way. Citrus Magic is one of many innovative offerings by  Beaumont Products, Inc so I am sharing the link. Think it might be shopping time :D I received a product for testing purposes from Swaggable   - all opinions are my own.

carrottarts.blogspot.com READY TO GO Zicam Cold Remedy Ultra Berry Lemonade Crystals have been a family friendly and timely item to review.

Certain soaps irritate my skin so I really like Seventh Generation's Free & Clear laundry detergent because it is clinically proven to be hypoallergenic. It is made without dyes, synthetic fragrances or optical brighteners. Seventh Generation Free & Clear 4X Concentrated Natural Laundry Detergent has the most eco-friendly container I have used in my laundry room too. It is made out of recycled fiber and can be composted or recycled. I have not yet entered the composting world but this also makes it lighter than standard containers. The fact that the soap is concentrated also helps. I lined it up next to a bottle of another product that contained comparable loads. Seventh Generation = 50 ounces Other Product = 100 ounces Which one would you rather haul home from the store? My laundry area is tiny so it is nice to have extra room in there. Much easier for pouring too. I am a member of a panel called Generation Good by Seventh Generation . Check it out! ...

Lets get bouncy! That is the first thing that comes to mind when I want to describe L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil Every Day Care Regimen. Of course the great coconut scent comes to mind also. I feel like I am pampering my hair when I use this product. My hair is really more manageable now and it is much easier to comb through.  The system is really easy - just use the shampoo, conditioner and top it off with the Re-Nourish Mask. One of the suggested uses for the mask was to put it on for 20 minutes BEFORE you shampoo and condition and I think I liked the results even better. The mask is creamy but not too thick and I like that it comes in a jar. The containers are practical and pretty and I really like that the words conditioner and shampoo are large enough to see in the shower. I may finally have found the right hair system for me! I received free products from Crowdtap to sample and review - all opinions are my own.

I adored trying out Sahale Snacks. The quality of the ingredients is impressive. Being able to recognize all the ingredients as natural food is rare. As a breakfast bar kind of person the Sahale Bars really appealed to me. I love the convenience of bars - no utensils, no cooking. All bars are not created equal and Sahale Bars are in a class of their own. Even the names sound better ~ like Salted Caramel Apple Pecan Layered Nut Bar. Or Almond Vanilla Latte Layered Nut What surprised me more with this sampling venture was that I preferred the Sahale Grab and Go Snacks even better than the bars. Especially the Pomegranate Vanilla Flavored Cashews Glazed Mix. Sturdy packaging keeps the product fresh and portable. As a bit of a nibbler (meaning I like to eat a little bit at a time) these are really handy as I can just have a few bites then clip the bag til I want more. They are also great in hot cereal - skip the sugar just toss a few spoonfuls of these lovelies in for a great f...

As a Blue Diamond tastemaker I get to come up with original ways to use Almond Breeze so this month I decided to make a coffee drink. I love coffee drinks and sometimes they are just way too sweet and have so much stuff going on it's ridiculous. This is a really simple drink to make and not too sweet made with stuff I like. A healthier alternative to many of the coffee drinks out there. 4 oz Almond Breeze Original Almondmilk 2 oz prepared espresso (I used instant and let it cool off) 2 oz Almond Breeze Chocolate Almondmilk Ice Put ice in glass and 4 ounces Almond Breeze Original Almondmilk, add 2 ounces espresso than two ounces of Almond Breeze Chocolate Almondmilk, stir and enjoy!

Inspired by a contest and created by me. Fun, simple and tasty Ore-Ida Tater Tots recipe! This was part of my JingleVoxBox adventure. Ask me how to join Influenster :) I received a coupon for Ore-Ida Tater Tots from Influenstervox / Influenster and my mission was to create my own version of Ore-Ida Totchos.  For more delicious recipes visit Kraft Recipes Totchos Hub Chili Ore-Ida Totchos For Two Recipe 1/2 bag Ore-Ida Extra Crispy Tater Tots 1/2 15 oz can of chili  1/2 cup of shredded cheese (I used a Colby and Monterey Jack mix) 4 oz diced green pepper 4 oz diced tomato Prepare tots according to package directions.

For our family holiday festivities I took one container of Blue Diamond Honey Roasted Almonds and a container of Blue Diamond Lightly Salted Almonds. We had a lot of fun taking pictures with Mom's nutcrackers and the Blue Diamond Almonds. Laughing, snacking and being together is what the holidays are all about! My snack hack for this post is to put slices of brownie on a pretty plate (or plates) and arrange or toss on some Blue Diamond Lightly Salted Almonds. This way you can control the nuts to brownie ratio and how much brownie you are actually eating. All about balancing :D I found myself reaching for more almonds after I took this picture! MOM ROBERT ABBY Actually my niece Abby - our family baker - tried using a silicone pan for the brownies and they stuck in the middle so it really is a snack hack. Have you ever used a silicone pan?

All the baked French Toast recipes I kept seeing required letting the dish sit in the fridge overnight. I devised my own that you make, bake and then you can eat. One bowl, one dish and everybody gets to eat it while it is hot.  Also check out the link at the bottom for a great chance to win a Kitchen Prize Pack from Blue Diamond Almond Breeze!

Tazo Chai is a great little tea bag for black tea lovers. It is a subtle blend of powerful flavors subtly combined to produce a refined finish. Generally I drink everything plain (black tea, ginger tea) however this is a nice blend to add to my cupboard. I am new to chai tea and this is making me a fan. There are lots of different flavors. Admittedly I am a caffeine fiend and I love having a whole new variety of products to explore with Tazo Chai . Especially the Tazo Chai cartons which give you the convenience of cafe style drinks you make at home! I think the Tazo Chai Organic Latte carton is my favorite mix although I have not been able to find all the flavors on my local store's shelves. That is why I am happy to share a coupon and store locator link TAZO  . They have decaffeinated flavors also :D I received a free sample to review. Thanks Smiley360!

Feeding the huddled masses can be challenging -  Especially when they are huddled around the television waiting for kick-off. My bold solution is to spice up some chicken salad with Blue Diamond Wasabi & Soy Sauce Almonds. Of course there are those with a less aggressive palate so I teamed it up with some chicken salad featuring Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds. Pair them up with crackers or punt it on a pita. Both are winning combinations. You can win too by entering the Blue Diamond Game Changing Sweepstakes and get a coupon (while supplies last). Link below ~ must be 18.

First Try :D FUN! This has to be one of the more fun things I have received to review! Gold Bug series Selfie Stick - a Bluetooth Mini Selfie Stick by iclever. Admittedly I am a Bluetooth novice and my phone has a voice command for selfies so I am going to focus more on other features. Like fun - it is very fun. I am still learning how not to get the stick in the pic. I am totally secure in how it holds my phone and trust me I am very careful with my phone. I used it in a mall parking lot on a rainy day and have the long shot of what is behind me.   I love being able to take selfies and not have a close up every time. It was fun at an arcade however one must be careful of other patrons when doing this. Oh - must share that the iclever Universal Selfie Stick is very light, but sturdy. Weighs less than 1/3 of a pound, 6.35 ounces. There have been some surprising uses for it. One of the reasons I chose my phone (HTC Desire 816) is because it h...
