Mango Coconut - Oh my!

If you've read my blog before, you know I'm a fan of THINaddictives! I always have some on hand! My personal favorite WAS Cranberry Almond Thins. Mango Coconut Almond Thins has now replaced Cranberry Almond Thins.

So what are these delectable treats, you ask? Let me tell you! They are delicious, thin, lightly sweet, crunchy Thins. (They call them, Thins, I call them cookies!) Here's the best part, they are low carb!

They come in convenient portion-packs averaging 100-calories or less. They are low-fat, low-carb and contain 3g of protein/per serving – helping keep hunger away between meals.

I think they are just the right amount of sweet and crunchy! I always keep a box on my desk as I'm working. It helps with my between-meal munchies and I don't feel guilty eating them! My favorite has Mango, Coconut and Almonds, yum! If Mango Coconut Almond isn't for you, try Nonni's other flavors, Cranberry Almond, Cinnamon Raisin Almond, Pistachio Almond, Blueberry Oat Almond, and Banana Dark Chocolate Almond!

In celebration of the new flavor, Nonni’s THINaddictives will host a “Summer Giveaway” beginning June 1 on Facebook. 50 winners will be selected to receive a free box of the new Mango Coconut THINaddictives. Fans can also download a $1 off coupon of a box of THINaddictives on Facebook by selecting the coupon tab.

Inside Out!

Have you ever heard someone talk about the voices in their head? Well, Disney explains it with their new movie Inside Out! Don't worry, they are good voices!

My son and I had the opportunity to attend a preview of Inside Out.... Loved it! I thought it would be cute, Disney does cute very well. But it was more, I loved the life lessons subtly taught through the movie.

So what is it about, you ask?

Growing up can be a bumpy road, and it's no exception for Riley, who is uprooted from her Midwest life when her father starts a new job in San Francisco. Like all of us, Riley is guided by her emotions – Joy (Amy Poehler), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Sadness (Phyllis Smith). The emotions live in Headquarters, the control center inside Riley’s mind, where they help advise her through everyday life. As Riley and her emotions struggle to adjust to a new life in San Francisco, turmoil ensues in Headquarters. Although Joy, Riley's main and most important emotion, tries to keep things positive, the emotions conflict on how best to navigate a new city, house and school.

Inside Out, grabbed me right off the bat! I loved meeting all the emotions, Joy was my favorite, (though that really goes with my personality. I might drive you crazy with my optimism!) My son loved Anger (yes, my son's go-to emotion is anger). Now here's the cool thing, my son and I had a great talk after the movie about how losing your temper doesn't end well. It was a great teaching moment. I was reminded that sadness is an important part of our emotions also. It was not only a really great movie to watch... funny, poignant, thoughtful, cute... but also led to some great discussions. In fact, we talked all the way home about it!

Thanks Disney for another wonderful movie! Inside Out opens nationwide, June 19th. Go see it, I think you'll really enjoy it!

Xlear - It's Xcellent!

Have you heard of Xylitol? Me neither... until now! I've had the opportunity to try some great products from Xlear. What is Xylitol, you ask? What are these products, you ask? Let me tell you!

Xylitol is a naturally occurring sweetener that has some amazing properties. The company Xlear has used it in a great line of products that I'd like to tell you about. I got the opportunity to try them through #MomsMeet.

Let's start with Spry Toothpaste and Spry Oral Rinse. It has a pleasing peppermint taste, which is really important to me! I can't brush with something that doesn't taste good. I also really enjoyed how fresh my mouth felt after using the Oral Rinse. Now, lets get to the health benefits: Spry Toothpaste and Oral Rinse's ability to promote better oral health is backed by thousands of clinical studies, and all of the products in the Spry Dental Defense System include Xylitol. In addition to the immediate results, research has shown that effectively using xylitol for as little as a few months may have longer-lasting results that remain for years. It helps mineral absorption into the enamel of your teeth.

I also had the chance to try Xlear Nasal Spray. It has been shown to help stop bacterial adherence in your nasal passages. I gave it a super challenge! I was suffering from a monster cold, couldn't breathe through my nose and my sinuses were so plugged. I used the Xlear Nasal Spray and it helped so much! My nose cleared up so I could start to breathe better. Plus it hydrated my very sore nasal passages. I am a believer! It helped me so much!

Now to my favorite part, Spry Gum and Spry Gems. I love these! Spry Gems are delicious mints that are sugar free and actually good for you! Spry Gems are sweetened with 100% xylitol! Spry Gems combine the tooth-protecting properties of xylitol with a tasty, pH-balanced formula to maintain the health of teeth, gums and oral tissues. Xylitol actually promotes oral health and may reduce the risk of tooth decay. I tried the mint and the cinnamon, both are great but cinnamon is my favorite! I loved the Spry Gum also! I tried the Peppermint and it was great! It kept it's flavor for a long time and I loved that it was good for me!

I really like these products! You can check them out at xlear.com Now I have great news for you! If you'd like to try them out, Xlear is offering a great deal! You can try the products I tried for only $25, regularly $65! Just go here and use the code SAVE50 . But hurry, the deal is only good through June 30th!

I'm so glad I had the chance to try these great products from Xlear! I'm definitely a new and devoted customer! Thanks Greenmomsmeet.com!

Renuzit Pearl Scents

I love scent in my home.... well, let me clarify that..... I love nice scents in my home!

I have a teenage son, dogs, and a husband who loves bacon, so there are a lot of scents in my home, some not so pleasant. So when I was offered the chance to review Renuzit Pearl Scents, well, I was thrilled!

First, I love how they look! They are little jars that have a nice shape. Inside are little "pearls" that are filled with scent. You peel off the label and right away you are surrounded by wonderful scents. I got to try "Sparkling Rain". It was a pretty green color and I really liked the scent! I can't say it necessarily smelled like rain, but it was a wonderful clean smell!

They are available in Blue Sky Breeze, Serenity, Sparkling Rain, Tranquil and Seductive Pineapple. The colors of each scent are gorgeous!

So, I decided to give Renuzit Pearl Scents the ultimate test. I had company coming and they would be staying in my teenage son's room. It was clean, but it still had this lingering teenage boy smell. I put the Renuzit Pearl Scents in his room. Voila! Problem solved! His room actually started smelling lovely! It was very subtle, not overpowering, but it definitely did the job! I'm a fan, and will be purchasing more Pearl Scents in other aromas! I think I'm trying Seductive Pineapple next.... who can resist a name like that?!

Wanna try Renuzit Pearl Scents yourself? They are available at your local retailer OR three of you lucky readers will each win a free product coupon to try it yourself! Just enter on the form below.

Thanks Renuzit! You conquered teenage boy smell, and made my home smell lovely! Now, what do you have in the way of bacon odor eliminators?

Avengers - Age of Ultron

I'm a big movie fan! Love to go, eat popcorn and escape into the plot for awhile. When the movie is about the Avengers, I'm skipping to the theater in excitement! This time I got to go with my teenage son. He wasn't really thrilled to have his Mom skipping along beside him... so I just walked briskly!

We had the opportunity to see Avengers: Age of Ultron. It's another installment in the Avengers movies! What is it about, you ask?

From Marvel Studios:

Marvel Studios presents “Avengers: Age of Ultron,” the epic follow-up to the biggest Super Hero movie of all time. When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to The Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure.

So, was it good, you ask? Oh yeah!

First, we got to see it not only in 3D but in IMAX 3D. What an experience! I highly suggest you spend a few extra pennies and go see it at the IMAX! Wow! Again, I say Wow!

The first opening sequence is a major battle as the Avengers attack an outpost of one of the bad guys from Cobra. It is so action packed, yet still had some very funny lines. We are also formally introduced to two new bad guys. They are pretty formidable! Won't say who, don't want to spoil anything...

Avengers: Age of Ultron had it all, Action, Adventure, Funny, and yes, even some romance. Can you believe it? Plus, it's romance where I didn't expect it. James Spader is the voice of Ultron, and I loved him! Can't you just hear him waxing philosophical on the extinction of the human race?

The movie is actually about 2 and 1/2 hours long, but I had no idea it had been that long when it was over. The time flew by! I got to see all my favorite Avengers, and learn some new things about them, plus we got to meet some new Avengers! How cool is that!

Avengers: Age of Ultron did not disappoint! In fact, we are going to see it again this weekend and take the rest of the family! I'm so excited! I'll probably be skipping to the theater!

Snapfit

It's no secret that I have a monster sweet tooth! I love all the sugary goodness! But all the sugary goodness isn't so good to me. Insert frowny face and sigh....

Before you go feeling too sad for me, let me tell you that I'd much rather be healthy than munching on sweet stuff. This is the year I've been re-teaching myself to eat healthier, and bringing my family along with me!

I've been making healthier eating choices and exercising, and seeing some results. But let's face it, we all have those between meal hungries, or those crazy cravings..... Am I right?

Well, let me tell you about a great new product I've discovered. It's called SnapFit. It is a little packet with a big effect! Snapfit is a drink that is full of fiber, 15 different fibers to be exact. When mixed with 4 ounces of water, it helps you feel full. Really! Some of those fibers help you feel full immediately and some help keep you feeling full. It comes in Strawberry, Peach, and Lemon. There are 10 grams of fiber, which is the equivalent of 37 stalks of celery. I don't know about you, but I'd much rather drink a packet of SnapFit than eat 37 stalks of celery... blegh!

So does it work? Oh, yes! My first attempt was a bit of a failure. I decided to not follow directions and added a packet of Strawberry SnapFit to 8 ounces of water and ice. I thought it would be a refreshing beverage. Nope.... the fiber immediately got thick and settled on the bottom of my glass. So I decided to actually follow the instructions and mix it with 4 ounces of water. I did, then drank it down. It mixed very nicely and actually tasted great! And yes, it definitely helped me feel full.

I've been using it for a couple weeks now, once or twice a day. I even took it with me on a trip to Disneyland to help keep me strong in the face of those delicious Disney Churros. SnapFit saved the day! Now, try not to faint, but I actually lost weight on the trip to Disneyland! I've lost weight, because I'm not tempted to snack. Snapfit takes care of that.

Want to know more? Check them out at SnapFit.com .

So, I give SnapFit an enthusiastic thumbs up! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to enjoy a Peach Snapfit, my favorite!

Purex ScentSplash - Scentsational!

I'm all about fragrance! I love body mist, scented shower gels, scented laundry detergent... all the good stuff! I love burying my face in a towel that's just come out of the dryer, warm and smelling wonderful!

So when Purex came out with a new way to make my laundry smell sweet, well, I was all over that!

Let me tell you about Purex Crystals ScentSplash. It is an in-wash fragrance booster. You add it directly to your washer. It is liquid, and fairly thick so it makes it less likely to spill (yeah, I'm one of those that spills all the time!) You can add a half-capful for full fragrance, or less if you'd like it with just a hint of fragrance. I use a half-capful on my towels and they smell heavenly, though not over-whelming. My clothes, I add a little less and that seems to be just the right amount of aaah!

Purex Crystals ScentSplash comes in Fresh Spring Waters, Fresh Lavender Blossom, and Fresh Mountain Breeze. I tried the Fresh Spring Waters and really like the light, fresh fragrance!

I know it smells good, because I caught my teenage son sniffing a towel and smiling. I know! Maybe it will encourage my kids to want to spontaneously fold the towels.... nah, that's asking too much!

I am pleased to announce that three of you lucky readers can win a free product coupon for ScentSplash! Just enter on the form below.

Thanks Purex for another Scentsational Product! Get it? Scentsational? I am so clever!
