Johnsonville Grillers


First off you need to keep in mind that theses are not hamburgers (even if they look like one), they are pork patty's and have more of a sausage texture and taste to them. I think that through me for a loop the first bite. The patty was a perfect thickness and I was surprise that it wasn't very greasy. It tasted good, it was a sausage flavor with a hint of onion. I added a little season salt to mine to add a little more flavor, and topped it off with some bacon and stone ground mustard! I really liked that these didn't take any prep time, you can just throw them on the grill frozen and they are done with in 15-20 mins. I liked them but honestly I think I would still prefer a regular hamburg then a pork patty. This post was sponsored by Johnsonville Sausage as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap.

ARM & HAMMER Truly Radiant Toothpaste and Spinbrush


I have a love hate relation ship with electric toothbrushes. I love how well they clean your teeth but I hate how they vibrate so fast that it joggles your brain, it kinda gives me a headache. Maybe I just push down to hard but its something I am willing to tolerate for 2 minutes to have perfectly clean teeth. I was able to try the Arm & Hammer Truly radiant spinbrush for free for the purpose of my honest review. Overall I really liked the sprinbrush. The bristles were soft and didn't hurt my teeth but strong enough to remove plaque. The head is a relatively good size, its a little large for my mouth but I have a small mouth compared to a most people. I really like that the top portion of the brush spins and the second portion moves up and down. The two motions together really help clean my teeth, they felt so smooth, and refreshed after brushing. I love that the bottom of the brush is flat so that it can stand up on its own. I hate having to lay toothbrushes down on the counter it just never seems sanitary. The brush comes with two AA batteries that can be easily replaced when needed. Also the brush head can be easily removed for cleaning purpose and for replacing.  The handle fits nice and comfortably in your hand and the button to turn it on and off is an easy up and down switch. Its a great toothbrush and one I will now be using for a long time!

 I was also able to try the Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant toothpaste for free for the purpose of my honest review. I really enjoyed using the toothpaste. First thing I always look for in a toothpaste is a good minty taste. This toothpaste hit it on the head! Perfect minty flavor that is not too strong or fake tasting and didn't taste anything like baking soda. It left my mouth feeling refreshed and clean for at least two hours after using it. I felt like it was a nice natural clean feeling, not full of chemicals. I really like the Arm & Hammer Truly Radiant toothpaste, it will defiantly be replacing my current brand.

Stride Rite SRT



We were blessed with the opportunity to try a free pair of stride rite shoes for the propose of  a review. The first step was using there sizing guide. I was able to get his shoe length easy enough, but measuring the width was a little tricky. The directions on the paper were not very clear so I ended up going to there website and watching there sizing guide video tutorial a few times. I am such a visual learner so i was so glad they had the video! Once I got his size it was shopping time. Stride Rite has so many cute shoes its hard to pick just one. We got the Stride Rite SRT Daniel Sneaker. Ordering online was very easy and straight forward. After I ordered I got a confirmation email and once my package shipped I got a tracking number.  My package arrive just on time in 4 days. I was very impressed with the quick shipping process.

I opened my the box of shoes and was very impressed with the quality of the shoe. The stitching was well done, the fabric was strong, and the sole of the shoe was soft enough to bend a little but still thick enough to protect and have good traction. I put them on my son right away and they fit perfect! The velcro straps make it fast and easy to put on my sons wiggling feet. I also notice that my son was actually much more stable and tripped a lot less with theses shoes then his old pair. Because the shoes feature memory foam for extra comfort and sensory pods so your little one can feel the ground as if they were barefoot. They also have strappy closures which helped to stop my son from pull them off. These are great kid shoes. Its just a bummer they grow out of them so fast. I also wish that they were a little more affordable, $40 for a toddler shoe that will be out grown in a few months is a little steep. 

Russell Stover Sugar Free Bites



Pregnant me is always craving Chocolate! And Chocolate Orange flavored candy is one of my favorite flavor combos and these little bites do not disappoint.  They are so delicious and are great for my sweet tooth. Its smooth and melty dark chocolate covering a gummy orange center. I was a little worried that  because they are "sugar free" they would taste funny, but nope they taste amazing and are only 120 calories! Thanks to BzzAgent and Russell Stovers for letting me try theses for free for my honest review!

L'Oreal Pairs Extraordinary Oil




I really enjoy L'Oreal Pairs Advanced Haircare - Extraordinary Oil Shampoo and Conditioner. Its actually my first time using any of there products and I was very impressed. This Shampoo has really helped my dry hair. It lathers up nicely and has a great smell to it as well. It is a little liquidy so be careful when squirting it onto your hand so you don't lose it all down the drain like i did my first time.  After using it my hair is softer and more nourished. I can tell because I have less fly aways and my hair is soft and shinny. My one complaint about it is the size/shape of the bottles they come in. They are very wide at the top and its hard for my small hands to hold and squeeze the bottle. L'Oreal Paris Extraordinary Oil Serum Treatment did wonders for my hair as well. My hair is normally so dry and it creates a lot of frizz. But after adding this treatment and leaving it in my hair it helped to calm down the fuzz in my hair and add moisture to it which made it really soft. It also has a nice smell to it which is a added bonus! I also love that it comes in a little pump bottle so its easy to use! I received this product for free foe the purpose of my review!

Advil Film Coated


Thanks to Crowtap and Advil I was able to try Advil Film Coated tablets for free for the purpose of my review. I took them for a headache, which I often get, and after about 45 mins to an hour the pain was gone and could finally live my life again. I don't know how I would get through my day and accomplish all the many tasks without Advil!

Rubbermaid® FreshWorks™ Produce Saver



I have the medium size Rubbermaid Fresh works Produce Saver container and I really enjoy it. Its a good size for strawberries and herbs. If your going to be storing lettuce i would go with a larger size.  Its easy to use and clean. Its got a crisper on the bottom and a special air filter on the lid to help keep your produce fresher longer. I would say it made my produce last a week longer the in the store bought packaging "This post was sponsored by Rubbermaid® as part of a sampling activation for Crowdtap.
