Disclosure:  I received a sample in order to review it through Smiley 360. My opinions are my own.

Aaah, who has the time to be cleaning all day long? Not me...I am one busy working mama and sometimes it is a challenge to get it all done.  On the other hand, I like things to be tidy and organized. In comes smart shortcuts like New Bona® Hardwood Floor Wet Cleaning Pads. These make cleaning the floor quick and super convenient with the New Bona® Hardwood Floor Wet Cleaning Pads. It is the same effective and safe Bona® cleaning performance just in an easy to use disposable pad.

These worked great before and after my holiday party last week. Oh boy, I was squeezed for time and I got it done in a flash. Everyone left by 10:30pm and I was able to clean the floor in 15 minutes flat and crawl right into bed. 

I received a Smiley Kit with the following items:

Yummiest Ever Fast Brownies are a perfect option for a party or gathering #DDDivasShare

My tween and I enjoy baking and this holiday season we baked up a storm between Hanukkah and Christmas. Sometimes just have to keep it simple but classic because you know it is going to be a winner. One of my go-to desserts is brownies (and blondies) since they are an easy but popular option for a dessert table. Here is a yummy recipe that I used recently and tweaked a bit from the original which came from allrecipes.com.

Ingredients

3/4 cup coconut or other vegetable oil

1 1/2 cups sugar

1 3/4 tsp vanilla extract

3 eggs

3/4 cup flour

1/3 cup + 2 1/2 tbsp good cocoa

1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup nuts, M+M's or Heath Bits O'  Brickle if desired

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9x9 square baking pan, or line it with parchment paper.

2. Mix together the oil, sugar and vanilla extract.

3. Add eggs and mix until well combined.

4. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt.

5. Slowly add to the egg mixture until well combined. Gently fold in nuts or candy if desired.

6. Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly.

7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs.

Enjoy!

Super Hemp Raw Shelled Organic Hemp Seeds are healthy, versatile plus an amazing coupon and GiVeAwAy #HempSeed

Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe would be good for my readers.

I have been using hemp seeds for a few years now as a supplement to my diet. I try to include wild fish in my meals but I know I don't get enough. Sprinkling these yummy and easy to use seeds on my salads, in my soups, into my smoothies and more make it easy to add healthy essential Fatty Acids to my diet. They even contain a good dose of fiber too. Essential fatty acids (alpha-linolenic and linoleic) in a balanced 3:1 ratio are part of the makeup of these Super Hemp Raw Shelled Organic Hemp Seeds. They are also full of protein which gives me entergy. I knew they were good for me but I didn't realize that  Super Hempseed actually contains 20 different amino acids plus that necessary dietary fiber. They have a light and delicious buttery flavor that adds zip to salads, soups and smoothies.

There is so much goodness contained in this organic little seed, it is not a surprise that Super Hemp seed is considered by many nutritionists as nature's most perfect food. Super Hemp is a true superfood because it provides a perfect 3:1 balance of omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids. Data has shown time and again that fatty acids support heart health, triglycerides and support the immune system. If you are watching your carbs, no worries with these little tiny seeds. They are totally low in carbohydrates so hemp seeds are ideal for those following the paleo diet or who need to be carb conscious for other health reasons.

I get so hungry during the day sometimes that I really appreciate that Super Hemp also delivers a powerful punch of complete proteins. I see it even more with my hubby since he is a vegetarian. I like that this is an easy way that I can support both our hearts by adding it to our diet. Super Hemp is a great addition to any vegan or vegetarian diets. The fact is, Super Hemp delivers 10g of easily digestable plant-based protein per 1 oz serving. It definitely helps keep you feeling full with extra protein. Even a hard boiled egg can't compare....only 6g protein in one large hard boiled egg.

Healthy and Delicious ways to use Super Hemp every day:

• Use at coating for chicken or tofu and bake for a crunchy topping

• Sprinkle on salads or on top of soups

• Use as a replacement for bread crumbs on top of casseroles

• Blend into healthy fruit, veggie or green smoothies

• Sprinkle into yogurt for a crunchy protein pop

• Add to your favorite cereal or granola for a healthy treat

 Super Hemp Facts

• Super Hemp contains more protein and omegas and less carbs than the same serving of Chia seeds or Flax. 

• Super Hemp packs a perfectly balaced dose of both Omega 3 and Omega 6 (10g omegas per 28g serving).

• Super Hemp is RAW, shelled, USDA-certified-organic hempseeds.

• Super Hemp is Cold-processed (under 104°F) from raw, live hemp seeds.

• Super Hemp is 33% protein; rich in iron, vitamin E + GLA (gamma-linolenic acid).

• Super Hemp is a product of Canada.

Super Hemp hulled hemp seeds have a light buttery nut-like flavor as I mentioned. It is easy to make them a nutritious and tasty addition to hot cereal and smoothies. Super Hemp also blends easily into desserts, muffins, waffles, breads, pancakes, granola bars and other baked goods. Sprinkle Super Hemp on green or mixed salads and blend into pilafs, or grain salsads but don't keep your mind open to ideas since Super Hemp tastes great with almost everything.
 
I always store these in the refrigerator to keep them the freshest. Hemp seeds have a high oil content and they will last longer refrigerated.
