Hemp Hearts a Review

Hemp Hearts

A Product Review

My Thoughts....

I was surprised by these! I have never heard of any food being made with hemp so I was a little 'worried' about how they would taste ha ha. I liked them! They had a some what sunflower seed taste to them. I added them to a simple salad that I had made ( a simple garden salad) and the flavors were an added bonus. They didn't over power in taste, they complemented the salad well. They had a great crunch to them and if I had more I would to of love to try them in yogurt or in a parfait in place of granola! I would definitely buy these and eat them again! - See more HERE

Chocolate Chip Brownie Brittle a Review

Chocolate Chip Brownie Brittle

by Sheila G's

 

 

Have you ever fought over the crunchy corners on the pan of brownies? Have your  heart break moment when you saw that they were all gone? You miss all out?! 

I have a neighbor that LOVES the corners of the brownies that I bake, in fact she has requested that I bake them in a round cake pan so that there are more ha, ha Which I would do for her any time since we love her and her family to bits and pieces.

 I got this amazing bag of brownie brittle from Swaggable ( in the end I wish it was about a million times bigger!)  it was a full size bag and at first I was a little apprehensive about it. I'm not really a brownie corner type of girl. I love the oh so warm and gooey centers the most. Or at least I thought I did, this one little bag had turned my whole warm gooey brownie world upside down! I wanted to devour the entire bag in one sitting BUT I didn't instead I hid them from my children so that I could enjoy them more then once.  HA HA

I received the flavor of Chocolate chip which may I say was just AMAZING! Each little bite was crunchy, flavorful, and wonderful. And it wasn't so hard like traditional brittle that it was about to crack my teeth in half.   It's crunchy just like the corner out of the pan and then enough that it can be called brittle.

 I want to take up stock in these! I already plan on buying a bunch and making a huge gift basket for my wonderful neighbor for Christmas. I can't wait to see the look on her face when she try's these out she is going to love them and so will you!

Egyptian Geranium Facial Scrub review

Egyptian Geranium Facial Scrub

           

 

by Pangea Organics

                       

 

 

      I was so excited when I found this in my mail box! I love trying new things out. I was a little disappointed in the size that I got ( just a small sample size) It's hard for me to review something on such a small amount.

 

 But here is what I think about it:

 

 I am a mother of 3 kids, 31 years old and my skin is starting to take "that turn" UGH.... 

 

The smell of this face wash was nice, not to over powering and not so little that it just smelt like mud. I normally have a 3-4 step process that I do every night ( or try to do every night) with Olay face wash. I like the feel of this scrub, it wasn't to much for my skin, I have very sensitive skin and a lot of times things make it worse more so then ever making it better.

 

This face wash didn't dry my skin out or make it patchy looking. After reading it and following what it said to do, it left my face feeling smooth, clean, and soft. I didn't have super tight feeling skin after, which for me is a big plus. I learned a while ago that tight skin feeling on your face is a bad thing- it means all the good 'stuff' for your skin has been stripped out along with all the bad. It can then make your face over-produce oils and such in order to try to rebalance it's self back out. If your anything like me, your skin will then break out like your in High School all over again! Not something that I as a 30 year old wants to go though!

 

Over all this facial scrub did just as it promised, it scrubbed all the days gunk and ick away, all the while leaving my face, smooth, soft, and clean feeling.

 

If this was a face scrub that I could find in a store ( Target, Wal-Mart etc... ) I would be buying it for not just me but also for my 12 year old. I do feel like if you used this for daily use or even a once/ twice a week as an extra scrub that it would help and maybe even work wonders on your skin depending on how 'bad' your skin is to start with.

 

Here is what the site says about the face wash:

 

 

About:

 

   Fresh face. This dual-action scrub polishes the skin's surface without disrupting its delicate balance. Never harsh, drying or stripping, this Scrub is gentle enough for daily use. Enzymatic exfoliants work to dissolve expired skin cells while mechanical exfoliants gently free them up to be rinsed away. Raw, ground-up adzuki bean has been used in skin preparations for centuries in Japan. It provides gentle, manual exfoliation while its astringent properties help clarify and tighten pores. Both cranberry seed and geranium oil offer skin-brightening attributes, which assist with reducing hyper-pigmentation (dark spots due to sun exposure and past acne breakouts). The ingredients in this Scrub nourish the skin with antioxidants that scavenge free-radicals and optimize cellular function, resulting in more radiant skin and increased cell turnover.

Salt and Pepper Sunflower Review

Swaggable Review

 

Salt and Pepper Sunflower Seeds

I was so happy to get a full size for this review and sample!

I have to admit I am a bit of a sunflower seed junkie ( do you think they have some sort of S.F.S.A.  {Sun Flower Seed Anonymous} group I could join?)

 I was Super Duper excited to try these out I have never had then with just salt and pepper before - salt yes, but never pepper.

They came in a paper based pouch, which in all honestly I like it was SO much easier to open and I didn't worry about ripping the side so far open that they all fell out. I was able to easily open the corner up even though my hands were damp from just washing dishes.

I was unaware until opening the pkg. that they were already de-shelled which was a pleasant surprise, less mess for me to make and clean up. 

The amount of seeds in the bag did shocked me, since I thought at first that they were in shell I figured I would get a little less then half a bag's worth of seeds from it, but since that was not the case and they were already de-shelled the bag was about 3/4 + of the way full of seeds.

The taste from start to finish was consistent which was great, it didn't get to peppery or to salty at any time.  All the seeds where coated evenly and lightly, and  there wasn't a to heavy of a taste. Just enough to know that it was there and to give them a great flavor.
 
The seeds them self were crunchy but not rock hard, so when you bit in to a handful you have/I had a pleasant crunch ( but at no time did I think I chipped a tooth!).

Since these seeds are dried and not cooked there wasn't one single burnt seed which was beyond awesome.

They also had a great oil to them, they weren't so dried out that they were like eating crunchy dust pockets, but a pleasant slight oily texture to them like a nut should have.

If these weren't so awesome all alone I would have saved some for a salad but they were so good I ended up eating the entire pkg. in one sitting!

I will be looking for these again so that I can try them out in a salad!

Swaggable Lotion Review

Swaggable Review

 

Tree Hut Renewing Hand Cream

First I have to say that I was VERY happly shocked that they send a full size bottle, I feel like I can give a MUCH, MUCH better review since I have been able to use it more then once.

I started using the lotion about 4 days ago after I got out of the shower I put it on my hands and feet while they both were still damp. The very first thing that I noticed was the smell. The smell is wonderful! Light enough to be able to tell that there is a pleasent smell but not so strong that it's un-useable.
Since I went stright to bed after putting it on for the first time I didnt notice anything about it other then the great scent, but the next day my hands and feet were so soft! I have used this every night since, not only on my hands but also on my legs and feet.

I have SUPER senstive skin and in the spring and start of summer everything makes me itch or break out in a rash.. At night when I've had just about enough of the itch and I feel like I should invest in a wire body scrubber I go and put this lotion on and it almost is an instand snooth to the itch.
 
I have noticed an ever so slight change in the skin on my hands, they don't seem to look so dried out and "tired/old" looking. And I havent had any dry splitting or any hang nails  (caused by being to dried out) since I started using this lotion every night.

This is what it says: "Moisturize your over-worked hands with Tree Hut Renewing Hand Cream. Kissed with Argan & Rose Hip Oil to provide natural anti-aging and healing properties, this rich, non-greasy cream leaves your hands feeling soft and revived. "

 I honestly believe that this product lives up to it's promise. I will be buying this lotion from now on, this sample review has made me a true customer of this product.
