It's not too late to give a Golden Gift with Ferrero Rocher®

DSCN1074

I was again very fortunate to be treated to a special gift from Influenster (www.influenster.com). I had no idea but they sent me a Golden Gift from Ferrero Rocher® (http://www.ferrerorocherusa.com). You can't imagine my surprise when I open the parcel and found a glimmering golden colored box with the most perfect bow to match. The bow even sways and bounces with joy when you move the box, it's as happy as I am!

Inside, I was greeted to golden chocolate jewels. They taste as good as they look. Every time I open a Ferrero Rocher® chocolate, the experience in itself is like unwrapping a present. You then see a perfect round treat that has a nice crunchy top made of hazelnut pieces held in place by chocolate....you then hit that crunchy wafer, followed by a dreamy hazelnut and chocolate filling. Pure joy!  Did I mention the best part?  You get an entire hazelnut to yourself.  No skimping here and I feel loved!

Let your friends and family experience the Ferrero Rocher® Golden Gift box too and they will not be disappointed!   Give love <3

You can also enter to win:From November 26, 2012 to January 1, 2013, you can send a Virtual Box to friends and family https://www.facebook.com/FerreroRocherUSA/app_417224685008452. Send to your friends and wish them a Happy Holiday. When you do, you'll be entered to win an 18-piece gift box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates.  Good luck!

A little of the history as described by this great company:

Ferrero Rocher® is a unique and delicious chocolate experience made by Italian chocolatier Ferrero, since 1982. The chocolates are a tempting combination of smooth chocolaty cream surrounding a whole hazelnut; within a delicate, crisp wafer. . . all enveloped in milk chocolate and finely chopped hazelnuts. The chocolates are individually wrapped in gold foil.

Please Note:

I received this item free of charge and I have zero obligation in providing a positive and/or negative review.  My review is my own opinion that may vary from yours and others.  I give my honest opinion about the products I receive and share my experiences with you, my wonderful followers!

SheSpeaks Blog Event brings you: Torani Holiday Flavors, Salted Caramel & Gingerbread

'Tis the season for sugary sweets, savory eats, and toasty, warm drinks rich in flavor and, sadly high in calories. What's a harried shopper to do when there's a high-brow coffee chain on every corner dangling their latest holiday-inspired yummers in your chilly little face?

Torani has your answer. Torani Gingerbread Sugar-Free and Torani Salted Carmel Sugar-Free syrups, just asking for a warm cider or hot coffee to be lovingly dropped into. I was fortunate enough to try these syrups, courtesy of SheSpeaks. So sit back, bundle up and dig in to this review.

Image

I must say of the bat, I'm usually not a fan of "sugar free" things, mostly due to the artificial sweeteners (this product contains Splenda) that give you a funky aftertaste or worse, change the intended flavor entirely. So I approached this with some trepidation, but kept an open mind. So when I dipped my pinkie into the Torani Salted Carmel Sugar-Free syrup, imagine my surprise when I was met with the same rich flavor one expects from such a decadent confection-inspired treat. It was rich, warm, with just a touch of a salty aftertaste. I could imagine drizzling this over ice cream, or giving a little kick to a hot chocolate. With little to no "splenda" taste to ruffle my feathers, I can easily see this syrup being put into regular rotation in my kitchen. It seemed to do wonders for my after-dinner coffee as well, so it didn't change with heating, thankfully. A real winner here, and with it being sugar-free, I can enjoy this with much less guilt than I would one of those coffee-chain liquid desserts we all know and love.

Image

Now, the other flavor I received was the Torani Gingerbread Sugar-Free syrup. As much as I enjoyed the Salted Carmel Sugar-Free flavor, I must say that Gingerbread was a let down. I had extremely high hopes, as gingerbread in this house is a holiday staple, and the thought of a hot gingerbread coffee with frothed milk and sprinkles evaporated like so many sugarplum dreams after my first smell. It's just...off. And, sadly, the Splenda is right there. There's no denying that this has a sugar substitute, and you can tell right away. It's a shame, really, because there would have been so much I could have done with this, and now it's just 750ml of ick. I didn't taste it beyond the initial finger dip, it was that off-putting.

So, Torani Syrups is batting .500 with these seasonal flavors. Which usually isn't bad, but Torani Syrups have a permanent place in my pantry, and I usually trust them implicitly to deliver. I can say I will be picking up an extra Torani Sugar-Free Salted Carmel just in case, and because they're shelf-stable, I know I can count on the flavor to deliver for months and months.  Anyone up for some whipped cream that has a Salted Caramel flavor?  I am!  Oh, the possibilities of baked goods that I will make into a reality!  Happy Holidays Everyone!!

Thanks, SheSpeaks, for the opportunity to try these products.

VocalPoint RSVP Orgullosa Event

DSCN0956

I hosted another wonderful event for VocalPoint's RSVP division and like always, they were very generous with samples for my guests. I invited 12 people and 11 attended my event. They send products for about 8 to 9 guests but because I invite mostly couples, this always works out great for us. Unfortunately, one friend showed up without her partner because he was ill.

The party was focused around Traditions and the Holidays. I made wonderful desserts because it's a great way to keep my guests fed and happy. The sugar helps keep them motivated too!

At this event, we received 9 re-usable shopping bags with the Orgullosa logo, black in color, and I used these to give guests their samples. Now, here comes the goodies list that guests received:

  • Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (Original)

  • Puffs Ultra Soft and Strong tissue packs

  • Tide Pods

  • Downy Unstoppables in-wash scent booster in Shimmer (pink)

  • Gain in Original scent

  • Money Saving coupons


Items I was able to share and feature also included:

  • Swiffer Sweeper 2-in-1 Sweeping & Mopping Starter Kit

  • Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Original with Sponge (has a blue sponge-like backing)

  • Olay's Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo (Medium to Coarse Hair)


DSCN1005

I made a wonderful Cranberry-Apple Crisp that is a family tradition in our home but also made a basic pecan pie. I figured the best part of traditions are about making new ones, so I also got adventurous and made a bittersweet chocolate and pecan pie that ended up being the favorite. I included recipes for everyone so they can share with their families. My event was held on the 17th of November, so I brought a little touch of Thanksgiving and made mini cookies for guests to munch on. Having themed cookie cutters are always a nice way to add that holiday touch but an easy way to make a pie look more festive!

DSCN1006

The hit of the party was the product all the girls had seen in store but had not tried, the Olay Facial Hair remover. The duo comes from having a "pre-treatment" that is applied and this safeguards your skin from irritation. The box treats up to 12 applications, so a little goes a long way. You apply the pre-treatment that comes almost in a lip balm shape (you even twist it up and apply). You rub in the balm for about 20 seconds and to make sure your skin is protected. Don't over apply to hair you want removed because it will counter the removal. You then simply apply the treatment that smells less toxic than any other Hair removal cream I have used. You do not rub the second product in, you just gently apply and we found it was best to pat on. You leave it on for 6 to 8 minutes, with 10 minutes being the maximum. The results were mixed since I did have 4 guests use it and we even got one guy to try it on very fine back hair (just small patches). The skin guarding balm works excellent and this is something we all 100% agreed with but maybe it works too well. If you maybe get a little more balm by the root of the hair you want removed, it tends to stop the removal process right there and leaves you a stubble like hair at the end. I think practice will make the process better but even though most used it on fine hair, the medium to coarse hair formula did not remove that well. I would state after surveying the guests that tried it, 75% were happy with the results and the one male that we influenced to try was 100% happy because it worked perfectly on his back. This lead me to believe that because the face (upper lip) is curved, the balm needs to be applied well, meaning make sure to rub it in so you do not get build-up. At least I got a male fan now, though!

The second Proctor and Gamble product to get great reviews, the Downy Unstoppables. I kindly asked that my guests text me, e-mail, or call me just let me know quickly if you like it or not. Everyone loved them! These little add-ins leave your towels and sheets smelling fresher longer. I had two guests purchase the product but in the Lavender colored scent called Lush, and three others in the Teal colored scent called Fresh. I was so happy with the Unstoppables that I purchased one scent for the towels and a second scent for the sheets. What I like best, you control how much or little of a scent boost you want and the product works like described. A little goes a long way so that is always a major plus for me when it comes to Household products.

The Third winner was the Magic Erasers (both original and the duo one with the sponge). We all love them from cleaning the bathroom, to even the build up (scale) I get by the water dispenser in the fridge. There is really nothing these little guys do not brighten and even made a white colored Christmas decoration look like new after I used an eraser on it. It even removed the yellowing from years of displaying. I shared my tip on how I use a razor to cut the eraser to customize the size I need. This avoids any waste and helps me get to places where a full sized eraser would be awkward. Great to use on the door rails for the shower because you can cut to fit! Makes my erasers last longer too!

I love having these parties and VocalPoint even provides you with conversation cards. These parties are never dull and my guests love getting new items to try out. The coupons are generous as well, so it's a win-win for everyone. Thank you again VocalPoint for another great event!

Old Navy & Crowdtap Dress Campaign

DSCN0961
I am member of Crowdtap and part of the Old Navy Style Council. One of the perks of being a member is being able to have "share parties", where you and a guest visit an Old Navy store and pick-up items for free. I have participated in several of these parties from Tank-tops, Active Wear, to the latest Shorts collection. This time I was ecstatic to be able to participate in the latest Dress Collections from Old Navy. I received a coupon for myself and one for a guest (friend). They had many styles and colors to choose from. I wanted to add to my little black dress collection, so I opted for the one below:
DSCN1035

No need to dry-clean and that is a major plus in my book because I never make it to the dry-cleaners, and always have a bag of items that I truly intend to take but never do. I love with the weather we get in California, I can add a Cardigan for the colder days but can be comfortable and still look stylish for the warmer ones.

My friend opted for the latest trend, Sweater Dresses. I loved this one but did not want to walk out looking like a twin so I am waiting for the other color to come in stock and in my size. I also like that the dress can work as a top with skinny jeans. Very trendy and versatile.
DSCN1036

Like always, Old Navy charges fair prices for what they sell. Make sure to cruise the Clearance section because you can find the best bargains there on items that they quickly clear out. I always check on-line www.oldnavy.com on what I want to look for beforehand because I tend to lose focus when I enter the store. They have so many items that I tend to forget what I was looking for in the first place so this gives me ideas on what items I want to see in person. I always walk away purchasing more than I planned for but I never regret it because most times it's because the items had sale prices that I did not plan for. They even had dog jackets on clearance, so of course I picked one up!

BzzAgent Green Mountain Coffee Campaign



I received my kit from BzzAgent for the Green Mountain Coffee campaign. I am a no nonsense gal when it comes to making coffee. I have tried many machines in the past and at different price points, but many have left me less thrilled and with a lighter pocket book. I use a simple French Press when I make my coffee. My press is over 20 years old, easy to clean and not having to keep up with the latest "cup" or compatible system they come up with. I can drink and make as much as I want, never having to worry about my coffee getting burned.

I decided to read about the company, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR), Inc., before my product arrived to get an idea about what they carried and a little more background information. The company focuses on ethical and environmental standards when it comes to production.  They have a "higher values" system they have implemented in how they treat their employees, coffee growers, to the land's Eco-system.  It seems to encompass a morality you do not see many manufactures/brands out there use.  Many claim but fall short once you get to see the real picture.  At first, I thought it was a gimmick used to justify the higher price point to consumers but once I read and even reviewed the evidence, Fair Trade is important and implemented in everything GMCR, Inc., does.



How does the coffee taste?  This is really what surprised me more....it's great.  Better than the leading brand and smoother.  You get a full flavored drink by using the recommended amount and I like strong coffee.  The bitter notes are non-existent, so no masking with creamers, flavorings, and sugars are required.  I used less sugar than usual and found myself enjoying the base product, the forgotten COFFEE much more.  I actually liked tasting the coffee and this meant less calories when making a cup and a more satisfied palette.  I shared my samples with friends and handed out my coupons, to just find myself being asked for more of both.  I recommend trying this coffee and you will not only enjoy the taste but you get that extra "feel good" feeling for supporting a brand that cares about their impact not only environmentally, but also how they treat their employees.



I received all associated products at no (ZERO) charge.  I am not obligated by either company in supplying a favorable and/or unfavorable opinion.  My commitment is to supply an HONEST review and opinion.  My opinion may differ from yours, but is all my own.

Carol's Daughter Monoi Repairing Collection



I had over 7 different leave-in hair products under my sink and none left me even 75% satisfied with the results. I can say that the Monoi product by Carol's Daughter has left me 150% satisfied. My hair looks healthier with a beautiful shine (not oily). It does not cause break-outs but controls fly-aways and the best part, your hair is just so soft. I did not lose volume and it left my hair looking the best it could ever look.  It reduced my frizz and static is now a stranger to my locks.  I have hair down to my waist and only used what adds up to two pea sized drops.  The dispenser is easy to work and dispenses the right amount every time without waste.  I'm so happy!  I consider this my one and only leave-in from now on. The other positive, my cabinet has more room now!

I received this item free of charge from Klout and Carol's Daughter. I share my honest opinion without commitment in having to give the product a favorable/unfavorable review. Your opinion may differ from mine.

Rich & Creamy Melt Organic and Honey Melt Organic Review



Melt Butter:

The product arrived in a thick Styrofoam box with cool packs and in perfect condition. I was very impressed with the care taken in shipping both items.

Melt products are organic and are made with virgin coconut oil. Don't let the coconut oil fool you, there is no coconut flavor just like peanut oil does not taste like the nut. You get a rich and creamy texture taste but you do not have to worry as much as you would with a 100% dairy derived fat. I frankly always felt that like sugar substitutes that rarely taste like the real thing, I sort of held the same level of expectations for this spread. My highest expectation was for the Honey version and thought it would just be a good spread at the most.

I was so wrong!! I admit it (it hurts but I do) but you have to admit when you are faced with a yummy product. Why be cruel and keep it to myself!



The original version is rich and creamy with the perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness, which you would get from normal butter. You almost taste a hint of honey sweetness even though it is not in the product. It's mellow and very good. Not like margarine in any way and no oil residues are left on your palette. It melts in your mouth just like a high quality butter would and you are just left with the desire to take another shaving off with your butter knife. The product's true flavor came through and the richness increases as the spread comes to room temperature. This is when Melt's goodness can be appreciated because now the fats will be tasted and your mind will really start playing tricks on you. There is a very small amount of true butter, yet it is rich like if the entire portion was dairy derived. I looked four times thinking I missed something but it has to be the virgin coconut oil, which I had never tasted before. The list is longer of what it does not contain than what it does. Simplicity is an understatement! You can bake, cook, drizzle, saute, whip or eat it out of the container just like you would with normal butter, so that right there is not what I expected. These "hybrid products" are always limited because it's chemicals that bind them, but please do not lump the Melt brand into that group. This is nature at it's best and finally someone grasped the idea and applied it that "less is better". You keep it simple and the natural ingredients will shine. I became a fan and will be purchasing this product.



My second tub is their newer addition to the family, and that would be the Honey Melt. I will start off that when I opened the container I was surprised to see small brown specks....wait that is cinnamon. No way! This should be named Honey Cinnamon but I was not there when it came to picking a name. I have a happy moment when I see cinnamon in spreads and then comes that dread of how much was added. I like the spice very much but like paprika, a touch goes a long way. The scent was light so that was a good start. I again first taste a product as-is before spreading it on anything because I want to know if it is worthy to be added to any food item first. Um, So worthy!! I was sitting and quickly got up and took out the end part of a bread loaf because that was the first thing and I'm impatient when "yummers" are ahead. Pure bliss and it tastes like a good apple butter with the perfect sweetness and how you imagine apple butter should taste and never does. I started thinking and waiting to see restrictions, like you can't cook with me and please do not melt the product...but wait, this is the real stuff and there was none of that. No limitations or restrictions!! The product even states you can freeze it.

Melt sent me the perfect duo and I sadly have to admit that I would have kept walking at the grocery store if I had seen the product because I have been burned by claims before. It never is like the real thing and how many times did I get that a spray butter that promised it would be just like the real thing. All I ended up with was a tired trigger finger from spraying, spraying, and spraying, which then makes your food cold. Melt has fat but the better ones and it stayed true to nature, so true that it's organic. I'm the type of person that prefers a half of slice of real cake versus a whole slice of some lab created item that is like cake, but really should be spelled K-a-k-e. I missed nothing and when I open my fridge, I see it as real butter. No leaps or self fooling needs to be done because this product delivers on it's claims and the added benefit, it tastes good....really good.

Time to bake and because I did not want to bore you with the literature of why this is better health wise, please visit the site and look for yourself: http://www.meltbutteryspread.com/our-products/

I received this product via Swaggable, free of charge. I have no obligation in giving this brand a high or low mark, but my genuine opinion. Above is my honest and unbiased opinion. It may not be the same as yours but I wanted to share mine because that is what I do :).

Smartfoods Selects Hummus Chips & Popcorn



I was fortunate in being picked for another BzzAgent campaign and got to try Smartfoods Selects. They sent one large bag of Buffalo Cheddar cheese popcorn and two bags of their hummus chips. The chips came in Feta Herb and the second bag was Garlic Tomato Basil.

I will start with the Popcorn: The base of the popped kernel itself is very soft in texture. Airy when felt in the hand but spongy when you put in your mouth. Not the best feeling. Flavor factor I give it a 2 out of 5. The one star is for it smells better than it tastes. You get no heat but mostly a vinegar, almost citric acid flavor and the cheddar could just be called milk in my opinion. I had two pieces and then had 3 after. I figured something was off in my mouth, so I resealed the package. That is also where the second star comes into place, the package is resealable and stays sealed. I let a day pass and thought let's give it a try because the picture on the outside looks good and I like Buffalo sauce. Same results! Not good and for the caloric count, I'll eat something else that delivers the flavor it states but in a good way.

Feta Cheese Hummus Chips: The best of the bunch and they have such a nice crunch.  They stay firm because I also liked them so much that I went for a red bell pepper hummus dip I had in the fridge.  What a combination!  The chips have parsley and rosemary herb flecks that really balance out the Feta nicely and you do taste Feta cheese, not just some odd sour cream base that could be called any cheese.  The best part is the pepper kick you get from the black pepper and it is baked so well into the chips, you just get that freshly cracked peppercorn taste but not overpowering.  My favorite and I would purchase them again.

Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Chips: I won't make this long but it just tasted like Ketchup.  I like ketchup on certain things but not on hummus.  You get a flavor that is very close to the flavor packets you get in soups.  The balance is off and the garlic is M.I.A.  They mention Basil, maybe those are the green colored flecks but you could really call them anything.  I have dried basil in the pantry and a live plant in the garden.  I have no idea where their basil originated from but it did not resemble either.  It was just tomato soup based broth on a chip.  I felt bad for the poor hummus chip that got subjected to this flavor :(.  Maybe my batch was made on an off day but no way would I eat these again.  Everyone tried just one chip and most that put the whole chip in their mouth, regretted not being smart like the others that just took a bite.  I felt bad sharing these and thankfully the bag did not have a large amount.  The rest were thrown away.

My take on Smartfoods is mixed.  They strike gold with the Feta Herb but did so poorly with the others.  I still like the idea of eating real food, who doesn't?  So their mantra hits home in using natural based ingredients.  I still like that they advertise great flavors like the Italian Herb Multi-grain chip and they also have a Cinnamon version.  They sound awesome but I do fear how their interpretations will taste.  I would chance it one more time and try their Granola coated Popcorn, which I saw in a Blueberry Almond Vanilla flavor and make my final decision.

ZOMG! Rocky Mountain Popcorn Company Rocks!

So I recently got a box delivered, fairly large in size. In it was a bounty of flavored popcorn from Rocky Mountain Popcorn Company. They recently had a Facebook promo to increase their brand awareness, so after a couple of pleasant e-mails, I received a healthy sampling of flavors from them in return for my review on my blog. So, get ready to be wowed like I was at the awesomeness of the Rocky Mountain Popcorn! Real. Honest. Popcorn.



First up is a perennial favorite, Kettle Corn!!



Let me just say I'm a huge fan of kettle corn, as is my husband. We have tried many brands and versions in an effort to capture that County Fair-fresh flavor. None so far have come close, until now. It has that lightly-sweet and touch-of-salty flavor we crave every summer, and best of all, it's calorie and fat count make this a guilt-free snack we can now enjoy at any time. This little two ounce bag of heaven is far and away my favorite. It's make with simple ingredients, is nut and gluten free, and has 13g of whole grains per serving. What's not to like? Best of the bunch, and that's really saying something!

Next up: Butter



They say everything's better with butter, and this popcorn is no exception. And while some companies are content to include what seems like a salt lick's worth of sodium and an oil slick's worth of butter-flavored oil onto what seems like styrofoam kernels, Rocky Mountain Popcorn Company's take on the industry standard is anything but. Like the rest of the company's entries into this review, it features simple, wholesome ingredients, is gluten and nut free, and 13g or more of whole grains per serving. It's all natural, leaves no greasy mouth feel, and won't have you running for the water bottle after every serving. In fact, it just may replace my fresh-popped version on movie nights, because, really, who wants to wait? Just grab and go, or like the package says, grip 'n' pour.

Last up this time around: Southwestern Cheddar!



Wow. Rocky Mountain Popcorn Company hits another home run! How many times have we all tried a new snack, some wonderful flavor combination advertised on the package, tear into it only to be met with disappointment? Too many. But not this time. Not with this snack. In fact, it's better than I thought it would be. A little spice, a little heat, a little cheese. Just, wow. And while the only downside I could find (and I really had to look hard for one!) is that this little devil's got the calorie and fat count to make it a small-handful-at-a-time yummer. But that's okay, because that just means it'll last a little longer. And with all this flavor, a little bit goes a long way. As always, it's all natural, gluten free, nut free, but flavor full.

That's all for now, but there's more reviews and more flavors on the way. Stay tuned for more Rocky Mountain Popcorn Company greatness.

BzzAgent & Glade Expressions Collection



BzzAgent is a wonderful company that I have had the pleasure on participating in over 80 campaigns. I have also shared my campaigns with others as that is really the focus of the company, to share a product with it's members so they can introduce others to it. This time I received the Glade Expression Campaign for the Fragrance Mist and Oil Diffuser. I loved how they sent free coupons so we could purchase the products at no charge and also pick our scent. I went with Lavender & Juniper Berry because it is a relaxing fragrance and all-year-round scent. I figured I would be drowning in cinnamon apple and Fall festive smells so before I dove into the holiday smells, let's try something new. I chose wisely as I was very happy with the power of the scent and it was very close to the real thing. I have two lavender bushes and it came very close with the lavender notes. No headaches because the fragrance was too strong or overpowering but still strong enough to neutralize odors. I moved the diffuser to the family room and the kitchen never had any smells or odors return so this let me know the product does not mask bad odors, but actually takes them away for good. I was able to share coupons with friends and family. Right now, you can get the spray for $2.00 at your local Walmart and with a $2.00 coupon that means it is free. You can see why so many smiled when I shared this. I hope Glade supports this new line because I like the new not-so-common fragrances they created like:

Cotton & Italian Mandarin - Open your home with the bright, breezy blend of cotton and sparkling citrus, honeydew and sandalwood*

Fuji Apple & Cardamom Spice - A ripe, spicy blend of sweet pears and crisp apple with a dash of cinnamon and clove that warms and invigorates

Lavender & Juniper Berry - Lush lavender blends with fresh juniper berry, eucalyptus and rose to relax the senses and open your home

Pineapple & Mangosteen - Evoke a tropical paradise with the blend of freshly cut pineapples and hint of tangy mangosteen, creamy coconut and passionflower

*Available in Glade Expressions® Fragrance Mist only.

Please visit http://www.glade.com/en-US/Pages/Home.aspx for coupons and more details.

I received the above products free of charge and the above statements are my own opinions that may differ from yours.
