SPLENDA ZERO® Liquid Sweetener lets you enjoy life without compromise. @crowdtap #splendasavvies #sponsored

Splenda Zero Liquid Sweetener is the easiest way to sweeten my coffee or tea on the go. The tiny container stashes right in my purse so I can travel with it to my local coffee shop or on the road. I know I have it when I have to fly across the country, I like that it has the same amount of sweetness as 100 packets of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener so it lasts forever. This tiny container is microscopic!  Each squeeze has the same sweetness of a ½ packet of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener so I can use what I need. Usually one squeeze is perfect for all my needs.

I get warm on hot summer days so I like to cool down with a Lemonade Cocktail on Fridays after work. It is a special treat that I really enjoy! Ready to get sweet without those cocktail mixer calories? Use SPLENDA ZERO™ Liquid Sweetener like I do. The tiny container easily fits in your purse or pocket, but contains the same amount of sweetness as 100 packets of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener. You can take it anywhere you go to enjoy the sweetness of sugar without all those calories.

Mix up a fresh batch of lemonade using this instead of sugar. Each squeeze delivers the sweetness of a ½ packet of SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener so it is a cinch to measure. Sweeten up summer with SPLENDA® minus the calories.

Beauty Box 5 July 2017 @beautybox5 #beautybox5 #sponsored #lusetabeauty #lusetabeautybox5 #stylistyle #mannakadar #mannababe #seraphinebotanicals #nanacoco

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 July Globetrotter Let's Get Lost box this week.  The July theme is all about getting yourself pretty for those summer adventures here and there. A little bit of glimmer is a nice way to add some elegance and sparkle all summer long. This box makes it easy to squeeze in some extra time for a little elegance with a Midas Touch. 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.  Just as often they tuck in moisturizers and even a gentle wash for the face or body. This month the focus is on the skin and hair.  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 all kinds of treats for my eyes tucked in there this month.  There were several special items to keep me looking fresh and alluring wherever I go-or even if I stay home.  Even if I am home or staying local, I will still be looking good with all my goodies stashed in my bag.

The first item in this box is Styli-Style Line +Seal Eyeliner. I love to add a fresh look for summer with pretty eyeliner. This big thing is I need a good eyeliner this this one that I can line and seal so that it doesn't smudge or smear. Add a clean line of color and rev up those summer date nights.  This pretty smooth liner adds drama and a sophisticated look to your eyes. It goes on very smoothly and gives you a special look for day or night. Apply just to the waterline or smudge onto your lids and blend it up. I received a neutral color that is just perfect for my eyes for summer. This deep, dark liner is perfect with a bit of tinted moisturizer and a light lip. You can be as adventurous as you want. This neutral color works on any skin tone. It is a perfect size stick to pop in your purse or travel bag all summer long.  Retail $6.50

The Seraphine Botanicals Quince+ Crimson Lip and Cheek Crayon is a great way to add a bright pop of color to your cheeks and lips with minimal work. I like to keep summer makeup simple and fresh but it is always fun to add a bit of drama. This Lip and Cheek duo makes it easy and slips into that tiny purse or wristlet so you can go all day and night and still look fresh. It is easy to line your lips with this bright and smooth crayon. It is easy to handle and I adore that it is crafted with gentle botanicals. The color I received adds a bright swatch of color to define my lips and brightens my cheeks.

Manna Kadar Cosmetics tucked in their Glo Illuminator so that I could look fresh and energized day or night. Get a post vacation glow even if you didn't get to go away this summer.

It gives you the ability to keep your look simple but look healthy and glow-y. It just gives you a fresh, luminous glow and adds radiance. I find I need some help with getting a more natural glow so this is a perfect option. It really works well even with dry skin. It leaves a dewy, fresh finish behind. You can even use it on your  body and get glowing with your arms and legs under a pretty summer dress. This is so versatile and can be used in many different ways. Use it with a lighter touch for a more diffused and natural look. Retail $29.00

  

Luseta Beauty Argan Oil Hair Masque gives your hair a new life. We all know summer sun, sea salt and chlorine from the pool is harsh on hair.

The final product is a bright Nanacoco Rio II Nail Polish. Who doesn't need a fresh mani and pedi during the summer? Nancoco makes a variety of gorgeous colors that make it a cinch to do your nails at home. Save time and DIY instead of running to the salon and spending a bundle. The color palette is endless but I just love this beautiful shade. The polish goes on super smoothly and dries in a flash. This is just what you need for summer. Warmer weather means more sandals and open shoes so don't neglect those fingers and toes.  I like to keep my mani and pedi looking fresh and bright no matter what so I make it easy and save myself the salon appointment.  Freshen up your mani and pedi this week and there is no guilt about choosing another reasonably priced polish option for next week either. DIY mani and pedi's gives me the option to change my look during the day and add flexibility in there any time of year.  Retail $3.95

Horizon Good 'n Go snacks are a fun and healthy way to energize the kids @crowdtap #sponsored

I tried several varieties of a new snack option from Horizon recently through a sampling from Crowdtap. I found them at my local Target store but all the options were not in stock or available. One of the options I tried was the Horizon Good 'n Go with Cheddar and Pretzels. I was happy to see an organic option that is also a fun snack for my child. It is the perfect size to tide her over between meals and has an energizing mix of ingredients. She liked the mild cheddar and enjoyed the crunchy little pretzels. I would definitely buy it again. 

The second offering is a snack combination of Organic Cheese, cashews, sweetened cranberries and raisins. My child really liked this one as well. It was also a good option but I wish they did not add sweetener to the cranberries It really is not necessary. The snack is high on nutrition and ha 6 grams of protein, ideal to refuel the active kids. The size of the snack is perfect as well. An interesting mix of cheddar cheese and cashews gives this snack a nice blend of sweet and salty that appeals to any palate. For those kids with a sweet tooth there are also raisins and those sweetened cranberries. Because this snack pack is organic, I feel good about buying it. They can be packed for children's sports practice or even added to their lunchboxes.You can also stock the refrigerator for a quick after school snack too.

SPLENDA Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend Moms Meet @momsmeet #MomsMeet #Sponsored @splenda

Ready to try something delicious and new? You know all kinds of sweeteners are out there now and some of them save a few calories or a lot of calories but the tastes and flavor really make the difference. A sweetener has to truly taste great to be good. You know SPLENDA, it has been around for eons. Well, they just came out with a new option that is a winner. My local mom group taste tested new SPLENDA Naturals Stevia Sweetener in a bunch of drinks and we even baked a batch of sweet treats. The results are in and we LOVE it. This new natural stevia-sugar combination is an extension of the SPLENDA Sweeteners portfolio. SPLENDA Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend contains non-GMO ingredients, has no artificial ingredients, no bitter aftertaste plus it has no added flavors or colors. This sweetener has 50% fewer calories than traditional sugar and is great in almost any recipe or beverage. What more could a busy mom that is trying to save a few calories want?

• SPLENDA ® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend is is made with pure cane sugar and stevia leaf extract.

•  It uses a blend rich in Reb D so there’s no bitter aftertaste.

• ½ teaspoon of the blend is equal to the sweetness of one full teaspoon of traditional sugar.

• SPLENDA ®Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend contains two non-GMO ingredients, and has no added flavors or colors.

• SPLENDA ®Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend can be used almost anywhere traditional sugar is used.

•  Has 50% fewer calories than traditional sugar.

• Average retail price: $7.99 for 2LB bag.

We were really impressed with the SPLENDA Naturals Sugar & Stevia Sweetener Blend. It is a delicious option that lets you cut the sugar by blending it with natural stevia. It has a great flavor that dissolves very quickly. It gives you versatility to use it in beverages or baking. Many of my group members have been trying to cut down their sugar consumption and we thought this was a great way to do it and not feel deprived. Members also agreed that this is a good option to use for the whole family. I liked that this comes from a brand that I have used for years and that gives me a lot of confidence and comfort as well. We would recommend that you give this blend a try! You can find it at Walmart and a host of other retailers around the country. Let me know what you think.

RXBAR® Kids bars taste delicious plus they are ultra nutritious @crowdtap @sponsored

My child thought all three flavors of RXBAR® Kids bars were yummy but her favorite was the Chocolate Chip. I like the size of the bars too. They are just enough for a child. I was happy to see the healthy ingredients in the RXBAR® Kids bars. My favorite thing about RXBAR® Kids is that my daughter likes the flavors and I like the ingredients. They are delicious, nutritious and a good snack option! 

 I was impressed how the short ingredient list is baked into these delicious little bars.  Even more important is that my little one likes it. It is easy to find these at Target as well. They had all of the options in stock by the snack bars. We were down the shore this past week and I spotted them at an organic smoothie and playa bowls shop as well. They were displayed prominently by the cash register and I was pleased to see them there as a healthy on-the-go option for the kids.
