Hershey's #SpreadPossibilities Sample and Share with #Crowdtap

Disclaimer: I received a sample of Hershey's Spread complimentary through Crowdtap. As always, my opinions are my own.

Have you seen Hershey's Spreads yet?  Ooooh, you are just going to lose your mind when you try them.  Now you are really curious, right?  So Hershey's Spreads are a soft chocolate spread with the consistency of cream cheese that is CHOCOLATE. Yummy chocolate too. You can spread it on anything and everything. That is the idea.
  • Hershey's spreads have the power to transform any snack into a delicious treat
  • Easy to spread on your favorite fruits, breads or mix into smoothies or shakes
  • Blend into waffle or pancake mix for a fun change of pace
  • Kosher by Orthodox Union for dairy
I was excited to hear that Hershey's Spreads are at Walmart now. Hershey's spreads come in three yummy flavors: Chocolate, Chocolate with Almonds and Chocolate with Hazelnuts. They are soft and created perfectly for spreading on toast, waffles, crackers and fruit. They are reasonably priced at about $3.38 a jar at the Walmart where I found them.

As I mentioned, Crowdtap and Hershey's sent me one jar complimentary..the Chocolate with Hazelnut. I purchased the other varieties. The Chocolate has a thick but very spreadable texture and tastes a lot like a classic Hershey's Bar.  That is a good thing! The Chocolate with Almonds tastes similar but almost like a Hershey's Bar with Almonds.  The Chocolate with Hazelnuts tastes like well, chocolate and hazelnut blended together in a yummy flurry.

All the varieties were creamy and very easy to spread.  We tried the spreads on whole wheat toast, bagels, muffins, pineapple, bananas, apples and strawberries.  The whole family and our guests said that the combos were super yummy.  

Now this is definitely a treat item for us since the fat content is 12 grams per two tablespoons.  Only about 2 grams of saturated fat are in that same serving and less than one gram of cholesterol.  Sugar is up there as the first ingredient and vegetable, sunflower and palm oils. Of course we all deserve to have a special yummy dessert or snack now and then and I would include this as a fun option a few times a week...especially when you consider how much more healthy fruit you will probably eat because it tastes much better with Hershey's Spreads.

Organic Vitamin C Serum for Beautiful Skin at Any Age

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.  I was not financially compensated for this post. I received a sample of the products for review purposes. The opinions are my own, based on my personal experience with the products. 


Are you like me? Allrighty then, we are both a little bit of health nuts and there is nothing wrong with that. I bet you work hard to keep your body in beautiful shape?  You probably exercise at home or at the gym, jog, hop on tons of machines and maybe even go to those sweaty boot camp classes all the time?  I do all of the above. It is hard work but it also feels good to take care of your body.  So you also probably shop carefully like I do for organic foods especially those fruits and vegetables.  




We do so much for our bodies but it recently occurred to me that I had not given much thought to the purity of my skin care regimen.  What about you?  What exactly is IN all those creams and potions that you are putting on your face?  That is the million dollar question.  If you are having some second thoughts then think about a botanical option that has been lauded by the medical expert, Mehmet Oz, M.D. 
A beautiful and effective part of your skin care regimen should include Organic Vitamin C Serum.  Dr. Oz recommends Vitamin C for healthy skin.  We all know Dr. Oz as a well known authority on health.  La Beaute Pure was kind enough to let me try their 100% botanical, organic Vitamin C Serum. Several things caught my eye when researching the La Beaute Pure Vitamin C Serum:
  • 100% botanical
  • Organic
  • NO parabens, fragrances or colors
  • Not tested on animals
  • 20X more effective than taking Vitamin C orally
La Beaute Pure told me that you can see a plethora of potential benefits* such as a reduction in sunspots, dark spots & discolorations.  Vitamin C Serum can prevents free radicals and help collagen tighten skin.*  Results may vary but fine lines & wrinkles may be less noticeable within 2-6 months.*  The wonderful part is that La Beaute Pure Organic Vitamin C Serum works for up to 72 hours and does not wash off.  I find that very convenient especially on those busy nights when you just about have time to drop into bed after a l-o-n-g day.  It is very easy to use though and you can use it a.m. or p.m., whatever is more convenient for you. You just let it dry prior to moisturizing.  That one application lasts up to 72 hours.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Disclaimer: I received this information through Vocalpoint. I did not receive samples nor was I compensated for this post. As always, my opinion is my own.


New Charmin® Ultra Soft now has Comfort Cushions for plush, pillowy softness you and your guests will love. It’s softer than the leading value brand of toilet paper, plus it’s more absorbent so they can use up to 4X less.*










Have you ever tried Charmin? It is super soft and I love the idea that you can use less because that means you SAVE MORE! What a novel idea. Thanks to Charmin for giving us the scoop on all the pillowy softness. 


 
I love that Charmin Ultra Soft has no inks, dyes or perfumes which is great for anyone  with sensitive skin including the kids and little ones. Charmin is really not more expensive than the other brands...especially if you keep watching for sales and use your coupons!
