MegaFood Kids Nutrient Booster Powders are the ultimate in natural supplements for kids @momsmeet @megafood #MomsMeet #megafood

I don't know about you but it is a real piece of work to get my kid to take her vitamins and she is not a toddler. Lordy knows, it gets even more important as they get a bit older to get good nutrition in on a regular basis. I want her to have strong bones like her Gramma does when she gets older. It starts when they are young to get them built up strong. As a family, we eat a super healthy diet with tons of fresh fruit and vegetables. The reality is,  it is never a perfect world. Even if you try SO hard, like I really do, it is not possible to get in all the nutrients a body needs each day or for that matter, even each week. I really want to make sure my child gets good nutrition now so her body and mind are strong for life.

I have tried so many options with vitamins it is not even funny. This has been going on since she was a toddler. She just ends up complaining about chewing the vitamin no matter whether it is a gummy or a chewable tablet. I had really been excited when I heard that MegaFood partnered with Kauai Organic Farms, Lundberg Family Farms, and Uncle Matt’s Organic to develop kid-friendly nutrient powders because I knew that this could be my saving grace. Think about all the ways you can blend a powder into everyday items that the kids eat and drink. No more standing there making sure that they chew or swallow that vitamin. No more with the kids hiding the vitamins in those tricky places like under the couch (I caught onto that one early!) 

She loves smoothies and soups so I was already scheming right away on how to incorporate the MegaFood Kids Booster Powders into our everyday meals. These powdered vitamins are an ideal option for any kids who have difficulty swallowing, or resist taking a tableted multivitamin. Why did someone not think of this earlier?? MegaFood Kids Booster Powders are a win-win for moms, dads and the kids! You can blend them into soups like this delicious homemade vegetable and bean soup I made below--she at it and told me she loved it. Hee hee, it was full of homemade goodness plus MegaFood Boosters. Score for mom.

One issue that I always worry about is how is a new vitamin going to digest? MegaFood Kids Booster Powders are designed to be easy to digest so no worries about tummy troubles. So many children these days have dietary issues so it was nice to see that like all MegaFood supplements, MegaFood Kids Booster Powders are tested free of gluten, dairy, soy, pesticides and herbicides. That is a big relief for me because as a mom I always worry. 

One of the things I always look at is the ingredients too. Something is very different about these MegaFood Kids Booster Powders.  In complete contrast to most all other kids vitamin brands, MegaFood Nutrient Booster Powders contain NO sugars, sweeteners, flavorings, colorings or preservatives. That was a welcome surprise. My child doesn't need any more sugar so I love that. Each powder comes with a tiny scoop inside which lets you measure out a perfect serving. These are so much more convenient and flexible versus pills, tablets or gummies. The MegaFood Kids Booster Powders are perfectly blendable, mixable and hideable in any food or drink. I find that they are pretty much undetectable too so she accepts them with no grumbling.

There are three different varieties too. MegaFood has three different kinds  of Kids Nutrient Booster Powders to support the health and well-being of children five years of age and older.  Let me tell you a little about each one.

The first MegaFood Kids Booster Powder is the Kids Daily Multi. This booster promotes well-being and healthy development and it has a wonderful blend of ingredients including organic turmeric, carrots, fresh fruits and 23 essential vitamins and minerals per serving.* I really appreciate the focus on organic ingredients too. This is an essential for my child. It covers all the basis for the main vitamins I know she needs.

The second MegaFood Kids Booster Powder is the Kids Daily Immune. This booster features oranges from Uncle Matt’s Organic and elderberry & echinacea. This kids vitamin booster promotes and helps to strengthen a healthy immune response year round.* We try to be good with washing our hands regularly and eating a healthy diet but she can definitely use immune support against all the viruses that are out there between school and activities.

The third MegaFood Kids Booster Powder is the Kids Daily B-Centered. This vitamin powder features Lundberg Family Farms organic brown rice.  It is formulated with a complete spectrum of FoodState B vitamins and provides daily support for mental focus, cognitive function, and a sense of calmness.* I love that this blend supports healthy mental and physical energy levels.* Her schedule is so packed with schoolwork, sports and other activities that she needs to keep her focus and energy levels high so this is ideal for her.

Did you know that MegaFood has been around since 1973? That is a long history that shows their commitment to real food. Fresh from Farm to Powder™, you know that MegaFood is as real as it gets. Since the beginning, MegaFood has always used real food from family-owned farms to make a real difference. 

MegaFood was one of the first nutritional companies to make their FoodState vitamin and minerals from scratch starting with farm fresh whole foods. Think about all the commercial vitamins out there--this is not something you see everyday. It is no surprise that MegaFood has some of the most effective and award-winning supplements out there. They were a true pioneer in the natural products industry. 

You know that I am an ardent supporter of businesses that are based in the USA. Well, MegaFood is based in New Hampshire, USA.  MegaFood continues to innovate to meet the evolving nutritional needs of adults and children by manufacturing more than 36 individual FoodState Nutrients™ using their proprietary Slo-Food Process™. All of this happens all in their own USA based facility in New Hampshire too.

Ready to make life easier for your and your kids and sleep better at night? No more vitamin battles---yay! Think about all the ways you can add MegaFood Kids Booster Powders to your children's favorite foods. Here are some additional recipe ideas from sweet to savory.  MegaFood recommends adding one level scoop to 6-8 ounces of your child’s favorite smoothie, shake, or juice, or incorporating it into an easy, no-bake recipe for a fun treat. It is so easy to blend up a quick breakfast smoothie like I do with a frozen ripe banana, a little dairy or non-dairy nut milk, yogurt and a scoop of MegaFood. Add other fruits as desired such as a handful of blueberries, raspberries, strawberries or even mango. Blend it up with your handy stick blender and you have a powerful breakfast. Alternatively, you can try treats like these peanut butter balls that I made. The recipe is on the MegaFood website. You can add raisins, cranberries or chocolate chips for an additional level of yumminess too.

You can also find out more and follow all the updates for discounts and specials offers on the MegaFood website and on their social networks.

Ricola Herbal Immunity is a great option to support a healthy immune system @crowdtap #sponsored

Disclosure: I was recently chosen to participate in a Ricola® Herbal Immunity Lozenges event through Crowdtap. I received complimentary products and promotional gifts in exchange for my honest opinion.

For over 80 years, Ricola has been one of the most modern and innovative manufacturers of herb drops in the world. All herbs used in their products are organically cultivated in the Swiss mountains. Ricola®’s selection of products includes about 50 different herb specialty flavors and now they're looking at their Chrüterchrafters to get to try their newest creation, Ricola Herbal Immunity™! Just what I need with fall coming on fast. I will do everything I can to support my immune system.

Ricola Herbal Immunity™ is a delicious option that makes it easy to support your immune system. Not only does this yummy lozenge combine the natural power of gingseng and vitamins to support the immune system, but it comes in a delicious Honey Herb or Citrus Herb flavor. I received the Citrus Herb flavor and it was delicious. I can't wait to try the Honey Herb because honey is one of my favorite flavors as well. Ricola Herbal Immunity left me feeling energized and awake for hours--even on a busy day this week.

I have used Ricola products for years now. My older sister introduced them to me and I always looked for them in the pharmacy when I had a cold or sore throat.  The winters here in the mid-Atlantic are just so harsh and even though I am one healthy girl I end up with colds, flu, strep or pneumonia at least once a year.  I don't smoke either and I eat organic and exercise regularly. Ricola Herbal Immunity™ is a great way that I am going to add in an extra layer of support for my immune system this fall and winter.

Anyone can get a cough or cold no matter how healthy they are.  That is one of the things I love about Ricola....all their products including these new Ricola Herbal Immunity™ are made with specialty herbs like Ginseng plus Vitamins C, B6 and B12.  Totally different from those other drops on the shelves.  These Ricola Herbal Immunity™ lozenges were very soothing to my throat and tasting refreshing.  This will be one of the new options I will be using this fall and winter.

Beauty Box 5 September Staff Picks keeps it fun in the fall @beautybox5 #sponsored #purlisseperfect #beabombshellcosmetics @simpleskincare #MakeUp4Makeup #happybrands #gosmile

Disclosure: I was not financially compensated for this post. I received the products for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the products.

I love it....Beauty Box five has the fun beauty ideas for every day of the year whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter.  My little blue box from BB5 helps me manage to keep it all together at work and at home to freshen up my glam look no matter what the day holds for me.  BB5 shows you how you can squeeze in quality beauty time into even the days you gotta speed things along with a few little special products.  Check out all the trendiest of autumn fashions now that the long, hot days of summer are starting to fade! Don't forget to share your fave finds and share with friends too. Take a peek at a few beauty goodies to go along with your pretty fashions and maybe grab a few extra for friends. A BB5 subscription makes a great gift any friend would appreciate all year long.

Everyone loves getting the inside scoop. I like trying new beauty products from sunscreens to lipsticks and find that I often find new faves.  That is one of the great things about BB5.  You can try lots of new things and sub in new favorites without being stuck with a huge bottle of this or that. I happens to the best of us even with green intentions. Sometimes I look at a product in the store but I worry it might not be for me and I don't want to spend all that money if I don't know that I really like it.  Who needs something else to sit on the bathroom shelf or take up more room in a drawer? I would always feel guilty. Every once in a while you get lucky and the store has a sample or perhaps a beauty company sends you a sample and you get to try it first.  That is the premise behind BB5.

The ideal solution for all of us is brought to you by Beauty Box 5. They understand and created their great beauty sampling box program. Beauty Box 5 is an amazing subscription beauty box sampler that is delivered right to your doorstep (or mailbox) filled with a combination of 5 brand new cosmetic samples monthly, quarterly or annually. You can start out at just $12 a month or save more by getting a longer subscription. 

Signing up to receive Beauty Box 5 each month is a great new way for anyone from teens to moms and even a savvy fashionista Gramma to sample new cosmetic products and see what works for you. Good skin care and the joy of beauty has no age limit!  Each month they include tips and tricks for the products on the back of this little card below to help you get the most out of your beauty samples each month.

Beauty Box 5 is always on the lookout for the latest new items to make the best matches for your own personal taste and lifestyle.  The prices are reasonable too. You can get a Beauty Box 5 monthly for $12, quarterly for $30 or annually for just $99.  Shipping is always free.  A fun way to check out lots  of the new beauty stuff out there without a whole lot of $$ investment. The great part is that if you like something, you can just up and buy the full size item, right?  Much better than buying a full size you-know-what-beauty-item and paying a fortune and then it sits in the makeup bag gathering dust because it doesn't work for you.

Beauty Box 5 mixes it up with their brands and keeps things adventurous. They source from a mix of niche, luxe, regular drugstore, vegan and eco-conscious brands.  One month you might get hair care, nail care, makeup, skin care, fragrances or even beauty accessories or a mix of any of the above.  I love the suspense!  You will get a carefully curated blend of travel, full-size and deluxe samples from their most current collection.

I just received the September Staff Picks box this week.  The September theme is all all about taking some good advice from the beauty pros. In between apple picking and pumpkin patches, squeeze in just a little touch of pampering for your skin and hair. Beauty Box 5 always has all the tools and tricks to help you look pretty from your head to your toes.  Okay, but just how do you get your hair, lips, eyes and nails looking just so? Let BB5 help you out! The team at Beauty Box 5 wants to remember you are it is all about taking care of yourself.  They show you just how to style your hair and eliminate the frizzies. They give you the tools to freshen up your nails super fast and glam them up with hot winter colors. This month the focus is on the skin and face. Beauty Box 5 is here with a ton of special treats to help you along the way.  Here is the scoop on the amazing treats that were in this month's sweet sea blue box:

As always, my box was filled with of lovely goodies that I could not wait to try. There were treats for my hands, face and body tucked in there this month.  There were several special items to keep me looking fresh and alluring wherever I go.  Even if it is far from home I will still be looking good with all my goodies stashed in my bag.

The first item in this box is a Happy Brands Happy Hair Turban. If you are short on time like I always am, this is an ideal way to twist your hair, loop it up and get it dry in a snap. This ultra soft towel is very gentle on my hair and dries it quickly. I can apply my makeup and my hair dries at the same time. It keeps my hair out of my way too, so I can apply my makeup faster. I find that it takes less time to blow out and style because the towel absorbs so much water so quickly. One advantage is that since I don't have to use hot tools as much, it is less frizzy and I find there is less breakage.  Retail $18.00

While you have your hair out of the way in your turban, you can use these Simple Skincare Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes. These wipes are super soft and work really quickly to remove all the makeup on my skin from mascara, to CC cream to lipstick. They wipes are very gentle even around my eyes. I appreciate that these wipes leave my skin feeling comfortable and moisturized. My tween tried them and really liked them too. These are a cinch to use too, they are ready to go no water needed either. That means they are good for on the go, traveling and tucking in your purse for makeup emergencies. Just gently wipe the face and neck areas and watch the makeup melt right off.  Retail: $5.99

We all need to use a full spectrum SPF moisturizer like this every single day even if you are going sans makeup. This is not an indulgence, it is essential to protect the skin. Everyone needs Blue Lotus Essential Daily Moisturizer SPF 30. Lovely ingredients like White Tea, Soy Proteins and Algae Extract calm and hydrate skin while improving texture. This is a very gentle formula too and it is safe for even the most sensitive complexions. It is lightweight and color neutral as well so it is ideal to use under your favorite BB, CC or foundation. I received a great travel size version so it is perfect to tuck in my purse for touch ups during the day when I need more moisture. Retail $55

  

It happens to all of us, that shiny skin. Be A Bombshell Smooth Criminal HD Finishing Powder can save the day when you need to mattify the skin. It is terrific because this is ideal for all skin types and the color is totally neutral. This translucent powder can be used in several ways. You can even out a complexion or just use it for quick touch ups to shiny skin on the forehead, nose or chin. I love that it is super light and adds no color. It feels really comfortable on my skin. My teen tester also liked it and gave it the thumbs up. A little goes a long way so get a little brush out and dip, tap to remove excess and leave your skin ready for the day.  Retail $7.00.

I don't know about you but I am a freak about white teeth. Go Smile Teeth Whitening Gel is an easy way to keep teeth fresh and white on a regular basis.  Lipstick colors and trends vary each season but white teeth are always in so check this one out. I like that this is a fast and simple way to keep my teeth white, no additional time or equipment needed. All you need to do is apply equal amounts of your favorite toothpast and this handy gel to your dry toothbrush and brush for two minutes, twice a day. White teeth are in your mirror this fall with no extra work. Retail $29.00

Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ In-Wash laundry booster @crowdtap

I like my clothes to come out of the wash really clean. In the past, they were clean, but not always as bright or white as I would have liked. I was excited to have the opportunity to try out a new product from Tide that works in tandem with your detergent to get clothes brighter and whiter. What an amazing concept and I am not surprised that it was conceived by Tide either. Tide has always been on the cutting edge with liquid detergents and then pods and now this specialized brightener and whitening agent.

Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ In-Wash laundry booster  is a revolutionary way to refresh bright colors and get whites super clean again. Why is it always that favorite shirt or those gorgeous bright blue shorts that end up looking dingy and dull after only a few washes?  It happens to all of us...I still remember those blue shorts from last year. I wish that I had Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ In-Wash laundry booster  because I could have saved them and given them a second life. Now that I know about Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ and its ability to brighten dingy fabrics by up to 3 shades I will never do that again. I saw the difference really quickly and was kind of wowed.

I was impressed with how well Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ In-Wash laundry booster worked for my brights and whites. I used to have to use several different products that I used to try and get the best results but this is easier and more effective! It is a cinch to use and my husband's white tee shirts came out of the wash looking bright and clean. The striped bed sheets came out looking brighter and more vibrant. The big win was all his Ultimate Frisbee clothes that were so dingy and dirty from those grass fields...holy smoke they really look bright and clean. Even his white socks look white again. This is after one washload. I am definitely buying Tide Brights + Whites Rescue™ In-Wash laundry booster when I go shopping on Saturday!

Curél® Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer keeps my skin soft and beautiful @crowdtap #sponsored

Curél® Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer is an amazing innovation in creams. I really like this moisturizer because it works so much more effectively and it saves me time after my shower.  Curél® Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer is super easy to use after my shower.  It totally leaves my skin soft and smell is amazing. It moisturizes my skin so well. It is so effective because you apply it to your skin when it is wet, like after washing your hands or getting out of the shower. I just towel dry gently and it just locks the moisture right in.  You can feel the difference for yourself.

My skin can be really dry all throughout the year but it gets worse in the fall and winter. This can be really uncomfortable and even embarrassing.  Curél® Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer gives me an easy way to eliminate dry skin without adding an extra step to my beauty routine. As a busy, working mom I really appreciate that. It saves me time! A little goes a long way too. I keep it in my shower and when I am just about done, I gently rub it all over my damp skin. I gently towel off and get dressed. I can immediately see how my skin glows and has a fresh, healthy appearance.  Curél® Hydra Therapy Wet Skin Moisturizer makes a big difference and so quickly. My skin looks so much more radiant now even though it is getting into fall. Normally, my skin is becoming drier so I am thrilled about this improvement. The best thing is the comfortable feeling seems to last all day too.

You can start early and provide a fun sports oriented gift that teaches kids how to manage their money while they are young. This Money Savvy Soccer Ball is just one option that MSG offers that really makes so much sense. The Money Savvy Soccer Ball has four fun see-through chambers marked: Save, Spend, Donate and Invest.  The idea is aso simple but it's ingenius. It's designed to teach children, in a fun and engaging way, concepts like financial goal-setting and delayed gratification. These are critical skills to learn early on in life to avoide debt and financial problems. Kids learn that there is more to money than just spending and buying treats and toys. 

This Money Savvy Soccer Ball Bank comes beautifully boxed and ready to wrap or pop in a gift bag. The box has a colorful design that shows exactly what is inside.  It is more than just a bank though. Each bank includes a set of glittery goal-setting stickers and a guide on how to get started with saving, spending, investing and donating.  It is no surprise that this innovative toy is a Winner of a coveted Parents’ Choice Gold Medal Award.  Think about how Money Savvy Soccer Ball makes a perfect holiday or birthday gift for any child.

You can see all the other products that Money Savvy Generation has by taking a peek at their website and reading their blog. You can find the Money Savvy Soccer Ball Bank right on Amazon for easy shopping anytime. The company is always looking for feedback on how the products are working for you and your family. What I like best about their products is that they engage the kids while keeping it fun. The products are colorful and exciting but they serve a higher purpose so it is a win-win for everyone from the parents to the kids.
