Almondina Toastees-The Perfect Baked Snack To Enjoy With My Tea! #Giveaway

I drink a lot of tea and sometimes I want a little something sweet to go along with it. The problem is that sometimes that “little something” can do big things to my waistline. So does that mean I have to deprive myself? Not at all, not since I discovered Almondina Toastees, this baked snack has no added fat, no added salt, no preservatives and is dairy free.

Best part, they are delicious! How delicious? My 8-year-old loves them delicious! Seriously, he tells me I better not eat them all on him!

They come in great flavors like Sesame Almond, Cranberry Orange, Coconut Orange Almond and Lemon Poppy Almond. I just love them and they are the perfect pairing with my tea. They are also great with cheese, crunched up over yogurt or ice cream, with coffee and more. Perfect snack to take along on road trips, keep in your desk at work or send off to school with your child.

Crunchy with just the right amount of sweet and only 67 calories per serving with 2 grams of protein and no cholesterol. Check out my unboxing video below.

Mighty Mug Go, Travel Mug Protects You Against Accidental Spills-Giveaway!

With more and more time spent on our computers, tablets and laptops it is inevitable that we will have a mug of coffee, tea or other beverage around our work area. This can lead to very unfortunate and devastating consequences if drink gets spilled. Travel mugs are good but they tip easily and if you have the top open which most do it will spill when knocked over. How about a mug that did not need any fancy maneuvers to get it to stay secure in place and stay upright even if you knock into it accidentally? One that was super secure but you could just lift right up to take a sip and then place it down and it would not tip. Does that sound impossible. I am sure it does but then you have not met the Mighty Mug. Let me introduce you.

Developed by a team of industrial designers and mechanical engineers, Mighty Mug, is the world’s only Mug that grips to your desk when knocked into, but lifts naturally. Mighty Mug is powered by an innovative and patented Smartgrip Technology. Simply place Mighty Mug down on your desk and it creates a powerful airlock which allows Mighty Mug to resist accidental knocks to help avoid spills. When you lift Mighty Mug the pressure is instantly normalized allowing the airlock to release and Mighty Mug to lift naturally. You need to try it to believe it.

Mighty Mug Go comes in a variety of colors and holds 16 oz. It is BPA free, fits in car cup holders, is dishwasher safe and comes with a 100% Happiness Guarantee! I tried the Might Mug Go in Lilac and I was very impressed at how it worked. It effortlessly performed exactly as stated. It gives me such peace of mind, I am a wreck when one of my kids comes bounding in my office with the energy of a tree monkey and I have a cup of coffee on my desk. Now I don’t have to tell them a dozen times to be careful, watch out, don’t hit my cup.

It’s Tea Time with Davidson’s Organics and Nature’s Bakery!!!

I was recently asked to try some of Davidson’s Organics Tea and Nature’s Bakery Fig Bars. After they arrived I arranged a little afternoon tea break. I was sent the Rooibos Spiced Chai Tea and an assortment of Nature’s Bakery All Natural Fig Bars. Rooibos (“red tea”) is harvested from shrubs grown in the high elevations of the cape regions of South Africa. Rooibos has a full-bodied, rounded character, a slight sweetness, and blends well with green tea, black tea, other herbs and spices. Enjoy this red tea based chai with just the right hint of sweetness and spices. Delicious with milk and sweetener. High in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, Rooibos is well-known for its numerous health benefits and calming effects. And it’s completely caffeine-free! The tea was delicious with just the right amount of spice. The fig bars really surprised me and my guests with how scrumptious they were. They were moist, chewy and full of flavor, the vanilla raspberry was my favorite but they were all delicious. You can follow Davidson’s Organics Tea on Facebook, Twitter and Pinterest. Connect with Nature’s Bakery on Instagram, Twitter and Pinterest.

I have joined the Keurig generation!

I really did not think I would do it. I fought it for a long time. It seemed so frivolous, so expensive, so wasteful. When my daughter told me her friend had brought a Keurig coffeemaker for their dorm I gave her a lecture about how expensive K-cups were and that she should just make instant coffee if she wanted to make a cup at a time. So it came as a big surprise to her when I purchased the Platinum top of the line Keurig. It was when I was walking with my friend Sylvia and she mentioned she had just bought one and loved it that it really made me think I should look into this Keurig coffeemaker.

With five children, the youngest two being 1 and 3 I definitely need my share of coffee. So after a night or two of good research I ordered my new Keurig. I also ordered 2 boxes of glazed chocolate donut coffee. I have to say my hubby was skeptical when it arrived but after his first cup he was sold. We are big coffee drinkers, we don’t drink alcohol and we don’t smoke so I rationalize we deserve to have some good coffee made fast and fresh. This Keurig also makes hot chocolate , hot and iced tea and iced coffee so the whole family is loving it. I’m a Keurig, he’s a Keurig, she’s a Keurig, wouldn’t you like to be a Keurig too?
