Popchips Review

Since planning & trying to loose weight I have been looking for new snacks that are healthier & less fattening. I tend to snack alot (I know thats bad) especially watching my shows after Hailee goes to bed.

I came across popchips and was excited to try them out, I was sent 6 flavors: Original, Sour Cream and Onion, Barbecue, Sea Salt and Vinegar, Salt and Pepper, and Cheddar. I LOVE salt & vinegar chips I wasnt sure I was going to like the Sea Salt popchips tho, Sea Salt just didnt sound good, but I was wrong I love them. The Cheddar ones are my second fav.


Popchips are not bake nor fried they are simply popped . They take potatoes add a little heat and pressure, and pop! It's a chip. Add a little flavor and you have great tasting popchips!

I really enjoyed them, they look & feel different than your average chip of course since they are popped but they taste great & arent fattening! No more grease!

they are all natural.
•no trans fat
•no saturated fat
•no cholesterol
•no preservatives

Since trying out popchips I have spotted them at my Target woo hoo! I will be purchasing some on my next shopping trip!

Pop Chips all-natural pledge:
no fake colors, no fake flavors, no preservatives, no fluorescent orange fingertips, and no wiping your greasy chip hand on your jeans. No, really. We only use ingredients you can feel good about eating. And we leave out the bad stuff, like hydrogenated oils and msg, that give snacking a bad name. Because popchips™ brand chips have no preservatives, make sure to get a good chip clip after opening the bag to keep our popped chips fresh. Or better yet, just eat them all at once


Check them out on facebook! Find popchips at your local store or order online!

Thanks for entering!






Tattoos for Tots Review & Giveaway


I have 6 tattoos. Hailee calls them "stamps" and loves looking at them. She is also at the age now she is learning letters so when I found out about Tattoos for Tots I knew she would love them.

Each Tattoo for Tots tattoo has a picture and the word of what the picture is. Hailee loves to point out the letters on the tattoo! She is wearing the butterfly tattoo right now.

Tattoos for Tots was created when Jennifer's 2 year old son loved showing off his temporary tattoos. He would proudly point to them and say their names. This sparked an idea of labeling pictures with words - a technique Jennifer did as a teacher in her classroom. She searched for kid-friendly tattoos with this unique combination, but couldn't find any, and that’s when Tattoos For Tots was born.

Tattoos for Tots come in single packs that contain 20 tattoos of one design for $9.99 or 2 sheets of tattoos for $3.99. They have designs for boys & girls, even holidays!

**GIVEAWAY**
I am offering my readers two packs of tattoos, this will be for boys. The winner will receive the sets below. To enter check out Tattoos for Tots and tell me another set you like! Giveaway ends 3/11

Zero Water Review



I love water it is my drink of choice. I hate tap water tho. I buy bottled water but its not very friendly for the environment especially since I drink so much of it! I purchased gallons of water also but I hate pouring it so bottled water became easier.

I was given a ZeroWater pitcher to try out and besides the wonderful taste I love that I can get a glass or water without pouring it. The pitcher has a spout so its so easy to grab a glass of water or fill up a reusable bottle!

Along with the ZeroWater pitcher you get a TDS meter. TDS stands for Total Dissolved Solids, and represents the amount of dissolved substances in parts per million in the water we drink. These substances can negatively affect the way your water tastes.

I tested my tap water and the TDS read 357, that is just nasty! The ZeroWater has a great taste to it! When the meter reads 006 from the ZeroWater you need to change your filter. Unfortunately since my water is so high I will be changing my filter more frequently but its worth it due to the great taste!!

If you would lik to purchase a ZeroWater Pitcher they can be found at ZeroWater.com, Target or Amazon!

** I was given this item free of charge by ZeroWater for review on my blog. All ideas and opinions in this review are my own**

Nature's Hand Review & Giveaway!



I am trying to eat healthier and find healthy snacks for myself as well as Hailee so when I was given the opportunity to try Nature's Hand granola I jumped to it and Im glad I did!

Nature's Hand is available in seven varieties:
Vanilla Almond
Raisin Hazelnut
Cranberry Apricot
Coconut Cashew
Wild Blueberry
Cinnamon Apple
Maple Pecan


When our package arrived it included a recipe for Granola Choc. Chip Cookies, which you can find on the website along with others. My lil baker & I mixed up a batch and enjoyed! They are just so yummy! We used the Cinnamon Apple but im sure they are just as good with other flavors!! Even my picky lil eater enjoyed them!

I also mixed it in with my yogurt! There are many different ways to use the granola, as a snack, topping, or baking ingredient!

Each package contains 16 oz. and is mad eof only all natural ingredients containing no artifial flavors, preservatives, trans fat or salt.

Im going to be sharing some with my granmother, she can not have salt so this will be a great snack fo rher!

About Nature's Hand
The popular snack and cereal food known as “granola” dates back to the late 19th century, when whole grain was first baked in the oven to give it a distinct taste and texture.

It took on many different forms and flavors in the decades that followed, and really blossomed in the 1960’s when the addition of fruits and nuts made it a delicious and nutritious way to snack.

The first batch of Nature’s Hand was baked in 1971 using a homemade recipe carefully crafted by German-born immigrants in Burnsville, Minnesota. Their sweet, hearty granola was a hit – fast becoming a favorite of friends and family. So they decided to share their homemade recipe with the public and Nature’s Hand Granola was born.

The first bags of Nature’s Hand Granola weren’t easy to find, carried exclusively by specialty grocers and health food retailers. But word traveled fast, and as people discovered its many uses from baking to snacking to cereal mixer, Nature’s Hand Granola started popping up on more and more shelves across the upper Midwest…and beyond.

Today, we still use the same quality ingredients, the same popular recipe, and the same oven-baked process people have been enjoying since 1971. We’ve even added a few new flavors because different people have different tastes.

Nature’s Hand is a great-tasting granola the whole family can love – however you choose to love it – and it’s made right here in the U.S.A


**GIVEAWAY**

Nature's Hand is giving one of my readers a variety pack! If you would like to enter please check out Nature's Hand and let me know which flavor your looking forward to trying out! This is mandatory to enter1 Giveaway Ends 2/28
