Bare Fruit Chips Review

 

I just have to tell you about Bare Fruit's 100% Organic Cinnamon Apple Chips! First of all, let me tell you what Bare Fruit's Apple Chips are. Bare Fruit is a healthy snack your family will love. Low in calories, high in fiber and naturally sweet, Bare Fruit is the perfect in-between snack or lunch time addition. The Cinnamon Apple Chips are fat and gluten free, have no added sugar, preservatives or additives and are available in 14 oz (397g), 2.6 oz (63g) and 0.64 oz (18g) sizes.

I tried a 14 oz bag and let me just say that this is the heaviest feeling bag of "chips" I have ever held. It is packed full of bake, dried apple chips. On the bag, it states that these are Washington State apples, and there are 30 apples in EVERY bag!!!! There is also ONLY two ingredients listed on the bag, Organic Apples and Organic Cinnamon. I know exactly what is in this bag, there aren't any crazy ingredients that I can't even pronounce in here and I am loving that they never use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or antibiotics. They are also manufactured in a nut free facility.

I have a bad habit of eating fattening and unhealthy potato chips late in the evening when my husband, kids and I are gathered around the TV watching our weekly programming. But, I have recently begun trying to eat a little healthier and trying to consume less fat in my diet. So, now that I have been avoiding fattening potato chips I am glad that I found Bare Fruit to replace my evening snacking in front of the TV.
Bare Fruit Cinnamon Apple Chips are super good! They are crispy and crunchy like a real potato chip and I don't feel like I'm depriving myself from enjoying a little treat at the end of the day.

Review of Smartfoods Selects

I was given the opportunity to try out some products from Smartfood Selects through a Bzz Campaign for BzzAgent. I received the Smartfood Selects Buffalo Cheddar Popcorn, the Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chips and the Italian Herb Multi-grain Popped Chips. Below you will see my opinions on each of the types I have tried.









Smartfood Selects Buffalo Cheddar Popcorn:

I am not a huge popcorn fan and I am sorry to say that the Buffalo Cheddar Popcorn didn't win me over either. This popcorn was a little too spicy for me. It reminded me of the flavor of buffalo wings, which I am also not a fan of.

Hmmmm, not much to say about these. If you like popcorn and spicy flavors or if you like buffalo wings and hot wings, then you may just love these.




 Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chips:

These popped chips are loaded with flavor and are really, really good. I love the flavors! I love the texture! They're crunchy and lower in fat than your typical potato chips. They are light and airy, yet crispy and satisfying.

Each 1-oz. serving (about 16 - 22 chips) has 130 - 140 calories, 4.5 - 5g fat, 18 - 21g carbs, 1 - 3g fiber, 2 - 3g protein, and a PointsPlus value of 3 - 4.

Italian Herb Multi-grain Popped Chips: I love these chips! Just like the Feta Herb Hummus Popped Chips, these have great flavors. They are really good and also lower in fat than your typical potato chips. With only 130 calories per serving, I don't feel quite so guilty snacking on these. The serving size is 1 oz (28g/about 22 chips) so you can eat a descent amount of these chips and not bust your calorie intake for the day.

DaddyScrubs Daddy Diaper Pack Review

                 


My brother and his fiance had twins a little over a month ago and my brother (as most men, I would imagine) hated carrying around their diaper bag. It was green and brown with polka dots and just looked really girly. He said it was really embarrassing being seen with such a girly bag on his shoulder. Even though everyone knew it was a diaper bag, he was just not comfortable with it being so "pretty."

When I gave him DaddyScrubs' Daddy Diaper Pack, he was ecstatic! Now, he can carry all the twins' necessities and not be embarrassed any more. The Daddy Diaper Pack is really cool and designed just like a back pack that goes over both shoulders and hangs on your back, this is the ultimate backpack for Dads! This diaper pack is deceivingly large. It doesn't look as big as it really is. Once you open it up and look down inside it, you realize just how much room there is for all of baby's needs. He can fit everything he needs for the twins all in one pack!

                                      

"The custom design allows less fumbling through deep pockets and eliminates struggling to take off the pack while holding baby. The side pockets are great for water bottles, baby bottles, and sippy cups. There’s a big pouch for diapers, wipes, and a change of clothes (and of course a small one for the “dirty stuff”).

The front organizer pocket is designed for the essentials like keys, money, cell phone, pacifier, and small toys. The insulated cooler pocket is perfect for snacks. The skater straps are great for hooking everything from sand pails, to beach towels, to flip flops, hats, and even wet clothes." - DaddyScrubs





In my opinion, the Daddy Diaper Pack would be the perfect and unique gift as expectant father gifts and new dad gifts. My brother has been using his Daddy Diaper Pack for a week now and he raves about it every time we talk. This thing must be pretty impressive because my brother is not a very easy person to please. He's very picky and only wants the best of everything. He gives two thumbs up for DaddyScrubs' Daddy Diaper Pack!

DaddyScrubs' main product line is their Daddy Scrubs which are medical scrubs with "I'm the Daddy" printed on them. The expectant Daddy to be would wear these scrubs in the hospital when you go to have your baby to help him stay comfy and relaxed in the delivery room. And, after the big day, they are even comfortable enough to wear as pajamas!

Check out DaddyScrubs for all your daddy to be gifts and new dad gifts as well!

SendaBall Review

What started as a fun way to send silly things through the mail to family and friends became a really cool business for two sisters in Chicago. These sisters have been sending balls since the 90's, but in 2003, they realized their crazy idea could actually be a business and SendaBall was born!



 I think this is a really cool idea! It is a 10" vinyl playball that is about the size of a volleyball. The balls are sent fully inflated via First Class Mail by the regular United States Postal Service. They are addressed by hand, stamped and mailed. They are not sent inside boxes or any kind of packaging. They arrive at the door as just a ball with any message you have chosen to have put on it. You can choose from balls that already have messages on them, like the one I received: "Have a Ball on your Birthday!" Or you can have a personalized message written on them. There are several colors to choose from and you can send them for any occasion. What a great alternative to sending cards or candy! How cool is it to have a ball delivered to your door with a message on it from someone who loves you?!?! I think these would be greatly appreciated by anyone who receives them, but I think kids would really love them!

You can find SendaBall on Facebook and Twitter.

Real Kids Shades Review

 

One of every three children in the United States does not receive critical eye care services before the age of six, putting them at risk for early vision loss. Real Kids Shades and Prevent Blindness America, the nation’s oldest eye health and safety organization, have teamed up to raise awareness about the need to protect children’s eyes from the damage caused by unprotected exposure to the sun’s harmful UV rays.

It is extremely important to protect our children's eyes. I love how Real Kids Shades provide 100% protection from eye damaging UV-A & UV-B rays. My four boys and I all struggle with light sensitivity and the sun is often painful to our naked eyes. I have bought them sunglasses in the past, but those sunglasses seem more like fun things for my boys to wear rather than the eye protection that I was hoping for. And, I've learned that wearing cheap toy sunglasses can actually do more harm to a child’s eyes than not wearing anything at all. Shaded lenses without 100% UV-A/UV-B protection will relax pupils, causing them to dilate and let more harmful radiation into children’s eyes. But, with Real Kids Shades, my children's eyes are protected and they look "Cool!" These shades are shatterproof and impact-resistant, they aren't too dark so I'm still able to see my boys' eyes and according to my boys, they are comfortable, fit snugly and stay in place well.

My eleven year old loves the Xtreme Chill Shades for 7 - 12 year olds. I am soo glad he likes them so much, I keep these in the car and he wears them everywhere we go.



He also loves the Xtreme Sports Shades for when he's outside playing. He thinks these are the coolest shades he's ever worn. He spends a lot of his free time riding his bicycle and skateboard and he loves the fact that these shades have a strap that goes around the back holding them even more secure to his head. Now he can ride his bike and board with no worries that his shades will fall off and break.



The Real Kids Flex Shades for 3 - 7 year olds fit my six year old perfectly. The frames are just the right size for his face and they hold snugly to his head without slipping off. It also comes with a removable strap.



The Blade Shades are really cool looking too. My six year old really likes how comfortable they are and how grown up they make him look.



And, last but not least is the Flex Duo Shades. My three year old loves wearing sunglasses, but he always has a hard time keeping them on his little face. They also come with the removable strap that helps the Flex Duo Shades stay in place and they look great on him!



 All of these Shades are extremely well made and feel really durable. My boys love the way they look and feel, so no complaints here at all!
