StarKist Tuna Creations Sample and Share Via Crowdtap #TeamTuna

Disclosure:  I received a free single serving pouch of StarKist Tuna Creations Ranch flavor complimentary through Crowdtap as part of a sampling event.  As always, my opinions and written reviews are my own honest opinions.

I was lucky enough to recently be chose to receive a complimentary sample of StarKist Tuna Creations Ranch flavor from Crowdtap.  I have tried StarKist pouches before but not the Ranch flavor. It sounded like a fun new flavor! The little pouch is perfect to take on the go because it doesn't need to be refrigerated.  I also love that it provides the perfect serving size for one person and checks in at less than 100 calories.  No way to overdo it really. 

I was excited to try this StarKist Tuna Creations Ranch so I thought I would get a little creative and add some more fun to it. I added a little natural pickle relish from Trader Joes and some chopped green peppers to really make my tuna sing. I washed up some fresh cherry tomatoes and pulled out some healthy whole grain crackers. Don't you love the colors?  I mixed everything up nicely and plated it to make it look like a nice lunch.  The pouch really adds a good amount of protein any meal. I definitely would throw this in my lunch bag for a healthy on the go lunch any day. 300% better than fast food, sister!

I really loved every bite of my healthy lunch!  The StarKist Tuna Creations Ranch flavor is flaky and has a very nice texture. The Ranch flavor adds just the right zip and not too strong. My lunch was a wonderful combination of tuna in Ranch flavor with some veggies and a tiny bit of whole grain carbs.  It was like I was having a little gourmet lunch that really provided me with a filling and satisfying meal.

Healthy Diet. Exercise. Wow, I really work hard at staying in great shape.

Olay Regenerist: How I re-energize my beautiful skin everyday! @wmagoriginals @OlayUS #olay #myolaymorning

Disclaimer:  I received a sample of Olay Regenerist complimentary through W Originals. I received no additional compensation.  As always, my opinions are my own.

@wmagoriginals @OlayUS #olay #myolaymorning
What to do when you know you start waking up in the mornings and your skin looks dull?  You know what I mean. That 40-something kind of dull. My skin used to look so fresh in the morning when I was younger.  I hardly had to do anything and I looked ready to go.  A touch of makeup and lip gloss. Yikes, what happened? 

I really started to ramp it up a few years ago looking for some better options to help renew my skin so I didn't wake up with that sorry look. Time for the Olay! I don't love to spend a ton of $$ but I want to look great.  My mom had been using Olay products for years and that was one of the brands I turned to. They have some wonderful cleansers, scrubs, moisturizers and eye creams and they have really stepped up the lines in the recent years.  They also don't sit on their laurels...I see Olay keeps updating formulas and packaging.  That includes the Regenerist line of creams, serums and cleansers.  I always liked them and found that they performed well for a bargain price...at least compared to what you will pay at the department stores.  Olay offers an excellent value with many of the key ingredients that really make a difference in your skin.

I recently was the lucky recipient of  a sample of Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Aging micro-sculpting cream.  One of the first things I noticed was the elegant packaging.  The second thing that caught my eye was "VISIBLE WRINKLE RESULTS START DAY 1!"  Now what could be better than that. I loved the idea of waking up and looking fresher right away.  That is an amazing reward for any tired mama.  I opened the container up and I loved the light scent that wafted up to my nose. Very nice....a little elegant too. The cream felt rich and luxurious when I tried it out on my face. I liked that a  lot....definitely a good start.

I have been using the Olay Regenerist for almost two weeks now and I definitely did see a difference the first day. No tired look in the morning. In fact, after a few days one of my colleagues asked me what makeup I have been using because she needed something to help her skin a little. She was so sweet, she said that my skin was glowing and she needed to get that look!  Boy, I was up in the clouds all day after that comment.

I would recommend the Olay Regenerist line if you are looking for a lift but don't want to spend a bundle. They actually have a whole Regenerist line of products including cleansers, serums, moisturizers and eye treatments. The daytime moisturizers include SPF which I like since I am in the car so much...I need to protect my skin and avoid the sun.

Dropbox A Free Place to Save Pics and Files Online Explained 1-2-3

 Are you one of those people that have 1,000+ pics and videos on your phone or old PC that you have never backed up because you don't know how?  Every once in a while do you have that fleeting panicked feeling of, "What if my phone crashes and all my beautiful photos disappear forever?"  I know you are!

Would you like to find an easy way to back them up and be able to access your pics, videos and what have it from anywhere, anyplace?  No more worries about PC or phone crashes and losing your little one's irreplaceable birthday party photos or videos. Have you heard about Dropbox? It is an easy way to save and back up your files online from your phone or PC.  It is free too.  You get 250MB free when you set up your Dropbox account. That is a lot of pics or videos. Of course if you have tons and tons you can pay for extra space or you can refer friends like I often do. It is a great service and a great way to set your mind at ease and help one another at the same time. My friend Maria was so happy I told her about Dropbox last weekend. She was one of the 1,000 pictures and videos people on her phone that had never been backed up people up until last weekend. She now is a Dropbox lady!

It is super easy to do. You just signup here, download the Dropbox onto your PC or the Dropbox app onto your phone (iphones, androids they are all good!) and you just click and move the files you want to backup into Dropbox. Wallah, that is all you need to do. You files are protected and saved. Don't forget to send new pics and videos there every month or two moving forward in the future.

By the way, you are welcome. Glamamama the great. :)
