Garnier Skin Active Party!

I received these products free for testing purposes. All opinions are 100% my own.

Thanks to Crowdtap and Garnier I was able to host an awesome party where everyone got to try out three Garnier Skin Active products. It's a new year and a great time for a new skin regiment! I am always on the look out for new products to help me out since I have very dry skin, especially in the winter!

Here are all the products I received in the mission kit.

• 11 samples of Garnier Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer SPF15
• 8 samples of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (Regular)
• 2 samples of Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (Waterproof)
• 1 sample of Pack of cotton pads
• 11 samples of Product Information Card
• 1 sample of $10 Visa gift card for party items

So many goodies! It was like Christmas when it was delivered so it was only fitting to take the first picture under the Christmas tree!

The Garnier Skin Active Clearly Brighter Brightening & Smoothing Daily Moisturizer is awesome! It is oil free so it just goes on smooth and creamy. I love it! It has really helped my skin look healthier! I highly recommend it to everyone! I have sensitive skin and it didn't bother me at all! I also love that it has SPF 15. I'm really bad at remembering to use sunscreen!

Before the Garnier crowd I had never heard of Micellar Cleansing Water! It's amazing, it really is! I'm really bad about taking my makeup off at night, but ever since I received this I do it every night (well every night that I wear make up lol). It's super simple to use and it makes my skin feel so refreshed!  There are two varieties. Original and Removes Waterproof Mascara.  Check out the three easy steps:

How simple is that! Also, I am one of those people that loves to see what is left on the cotton pad! Am I the only one? Here's mine with some Younique mascara:

Here are some close ups of the two different kinds. Everyone loved it! The best part is you don't have to rinse or rub! Just pour some on the cotton pad and press. It removes makeup, cleanses and refreshes all at once! It's magic! :)

I'm so glad I was given this chance! It was so much fun and I absolutely love trying new skin products! These guys definitely have a spot in my bathroom from now on! Have you tried them? What do you think?

Sahale Snacks

I received these items free for testing from Crowdtap and Sahale Snacks. All opinions are 100% my own.

I had never heard of Sahale Snacks before I joined their crowd on Crowdtap. Boy was I missing out! I love finding snacks that taste good and are good for you! This is what I received in my sample pack:

1 sample of Sahale Snacks® Honey Almonds Glazed Mix
6 samples of Salted Caramel Apple Pecan Layered Nut Bars
6 samples of Almond Vanilla Latte Layered Nut Bars
1 sample of Sahale Pomegranate Vanilla Flavored Cashews
1 sample of Sahale $1.00 Coupon

We really enjoyed trying all of the different flavors! My favorite was the Sahale Pomegranate Vanilla Flavored Cashews.  Here's a close up.

I love cashews and the added flavors were a definite bonus!

We lost power one night and we had some of the layered nut bars to keep fueled by candlelight :)

We really enjoyed trying all of the flavors. We even had them on New Years Eve while watching Netflix! His and hers Sahale Snacks!

If you've never tried these I highly recommend you running to your nearest store and stocking up! I love how the bars had big pieces of the nuts and bold flavors. It's definitely not a plain snack!

Nacho average Ragu dish #Ragu4You

Haha like what I did there? Nacho...ok never mind.  :) *I received a coupon for a free product from Influenster for reviewing purposes. All opinions are 100% my own.*

In honor of National Nacho Day, which I heard through the grapevine (Instagram) is today I decided to share a super fast, easy and cheap meal we love to make! We love eating these while watching a movie and relaxing. They taste really good! Did you know Ragu had sauces other than traditional red sauce? Our favorites are the Alfredo and the Double Cheddar.

All you need to make the nachos is Ragu Double Cheddar, Chili, sour cream, salsa & chips. Of course everyone has their own version and different toppings they like. Ours are a chili cheese type I guess!

As you can see these products aren't very expensive at all! We picked it all up at Kroger. We likecour nachos super messy and full of toppings! What kind of ingredients do you like on your nachos? What flavor of Ragu is your favorite? Let me know!

Kozy Shack Indulgent Recipe Pudding

Anytime I can have dessert I'm all for it! I received two coupons from BzzAgent for free pudding! All opinions are 100% my own. So to catch up that's free pudding! Yum! The flavor I tried was Chocolate Truffle. Yes you read that right!

I am so impressed with this pudding. It is so creamy and so chocolatey! It's definitely my favorite pudding I've ever tried! I love how BzzAgent sends such cute kits! Look at that Kozy Shack spoon! Love the little extra touches! Here's a close up so you can see how cute it is. Try not to drool at the close up of the pudding!

The pudding is seriously so rich and creamy! As if the Chocolate Truffle flavor wasn't awesome enough, they have a total of four awesome varieties to choose from! The fact that they are also made with simple, premium ingredients like cream and real sugar makes them a winner in my book!

o.b. Pro Comfort Regular

*I received these items complimentary for my review. All opinions are 100% my own.*

I will be completely honest and say that I have always been skeptical of these tampons. I'm 36 years old and I had never tried them before I received this mission from Crowdtap. The whole concept just seemed weird to me. Until now. I've been converted. I know what you're thinking...sure you have. Let me tell you why. I won't go into detail about how you insert them or any of that, but that was my big hurdle. That was what seemed so weird to me. Not having the applicator.

So I opened the box, read the instructions and tried it out. It's different at first, but honestly it wasn't as weird or as bad as I thought it would be. After a few times using them it was normal. In my opinion there are a lot of perks in using these over the applicator types. I remember a lot of times when I needed to discreetly walk to the bathroom with my tampon and try to hide it from others. Yes I was that type. I had the hide it partially in your hand partially up your sleeve down. Except when I didn't have sleeves. Well then there's your pocket! Except I didn't always have pockets either. The o.b. tampons are so small and discreet! I love it! Look how easily it fits in my hand!

Perfect! Another thing with me was when I was a guest at someone's house I just wasn't comfortable with people knowing I was on my period. Don't ask me why I'm just weird like that! So even after I managed to make it to the bathroom without them knowing there is a lot of garbage afterwards with an applicator type tampon! With o.b. you don't have that issue! Look at the difference between the two.

Holy cow! What a difference! I will stick with the tiny bit of clear wrapper! Another big difference is the box. You will no longer need a huge box taking up room in your bathroom. Both of these boxes hold a quantity of 18!

What a difference! So just trying them out for this mission with Crowdtap and o.b. has made me switch! I will be sticking with these from now on! Have you tried them? What do you think? If you have what is holding you back? I'd love to hear!

Land of Lakes European Style Super Premium Butter

It's been awhile since I've had real butter. I usually get margarine since it's cheaper. Boy have I been missing out!

*I received a coupon from BzzAgent to try the Land O Lakes European Style Super Premium Butter for free for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.* There are two types available. Salted and unsalted sweet cream. I went with the salted version. I bought some super soft bread, let the butter reach room temperature so it would spread easily and spread it on. It was so good! Man have I been missing out! It has just a hint of sweetness. It really was perfect! I highly recommend this to everyone! I can't wait to try out some recipes using it!
