Review of Sally Hansen’s Airbrushed legs leg makeup in the shade Light I have used sunless tan lotion before, but it had always left me orange. I decided to give it another try since I received a .75 FL OZ travel size bottle of Sally Hansen’s Airbrushed legs leg makeup in the shade Light complimentary for testing purposes. I am expecting the same orange streaky results as always but we’ll see. I have many Sally Hansen nail products and love them so maybe this will work too. I decided to try it out when was attending a wedding I followed the instruction to shake well, squeezed a quarter size of the makeup into my hand, and applied the makeup to my legs and feet by smoothing on evenly by up and down just like I apply lotion, blending evenly and completely. Be careful to apply sparingly to your knees and ankles to avoid over saturation. The makeup blended very easily. Unlike other tanners I have used in the past this does not have an awful smell. It dried in a few seconds, but I waited the recommend time of 60 seconds before dressing. My legs appeared as if I had a natural tan. I did not see any orange or streaks. The makeup was very light weight as well. None of the makeup rubbed off on my clothes. The makeup lasted the entire day. Thankfully it's water and transfer resistant so my sweat did not effect it. The makeup is also enriched with palmaria extract which did an awesome job at covering up my freckles and imperfections. It is also said to help stimulate microcirculation for healthier and firmer looking legs and feet. After the night was over I removed it with soap, water and a washcloth, as recommended, without any issues. I highly recommend this product. A 5 out of 5 for me. Finally a self-tanning product that works. It tried tanning in a tanning bed but it just didn’t work for my skin, so I’m very excited I can finally have a tanned look. Great for everyday use or a special event. The makeup is available in the shades Fairest, Light, Medium, Tan, and Deep. The .75 FL OZ travel size bottle is available at Ulta for $3.99. I also saw a spray version that I plan on trying next. I would love to see a tanning product like this for my arms and face next.

Oil Me Up! I’m already a big fan of Kroger’s HemisFares line, so I was very excited to hear they expand their line with new noodles, sauces, and olive oil. The HemisFares line is A Journey if Epicurean Proportions, featuring some of the best tastes on earth right from the comfort of your own home. Products of Italy. No need to fly halfway across the world to the Italian regions of Marche, Sicilia and Emilia-Romagna. Although it would be nice, most of us don’t have the time and/or money. The Kroger team of culinary explorers went and found the best for us, so we can stay put. Authentic regional specialties, authentic sauces, artisanal dry pasta. Best of all it is available at Kroger and their family of stores. I tried the Extra Virgin Olive Oil D.O.P. (Protected Designation of Origin) Val di Mazara (Find No. 2). A distinctively southern oil with enticing aromas of sun drenched tomatoes and fresh herbs, with a sweet nutty finish. Optimal soil and climate conditions combined with the passion of Sicilian growers, have earned this olive oil it's esteemed DOP certification. Crafted from locally grown and milled olives, this flavorful oil has a bitter taste with an almond finish. Use in marinades for fish, seafood, and grilled meats to add flavor and depth. The bottle lists the ingredients as only extra virgin olive oil. Simple and natural. The bottle states to keep in a cool and dry place away from light and heat. I store it in my pantry. The serving size is 1 tbsp (15ml) with the bottle containing about 33 servings. One serving is 120 calories. The oil come from the region of Sicilia I made pizza and used HemisFares Extra Virgin Olive Oil instead of my usual Bertolli extra Virgin Olive Oil. I am not expecting to notice a difference. How much flavor can Olive Oil possibly add? Wow, was I wrong! When I took the first bite of pizza I noticed a difference right away. The crust tasted less like olives, a sweeter herb and nut taste. Much more flavorful then my current olive oil. HemisFares Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a 10 out of 10 for me! HemisFares Extra Virgin Olive Oil is priced at a $12.99 for a 17 FL OZ (500 mL) bottle. Compared to Bertolli which is $5.98 for the same size. I am willing to pay the extra $7 for the HemisFares Extra Virgin Olive Oil because the taste is so much better. I would love to see the price drop a little, a sale, or a coupon but would purchase regardless. There are a bunch more HemisFares products available and I love them all. The HemisFares line includes six dry pastas, three HemisFares sauces available in jars, as well as four frozen pastas and two frozen sauces. I’m very excited to see what comes next in the Kroger HemisFares line. I know I won’t be disappointed! I am a member of BzzAgent.com and received this products at a discount to sample and provide feedback. My thoughts and views of this product are not altered in any way.

You had me at Hemisfares! I love pasta! I’m already a big fan of Kroger’s HemisFares line, so I was very excited to hear they expand their line with new noodles, sauces, and olive oil. The HemisFares line is A Journey if Epicurean Proportions, featuring some of the best tastes on earth right from the comfort of your own home. Products of Italy. No need to fly halfway across the world to the Italian regions of Marche, Sicilia and Emilia-Romagna. Although it would be nice, most of us don’t have the time and/or money. The Kroger team of culinary explorers went and found the best for us, so we can stay put. Authentic regional specialties, authentic sauces, artisanal dry pasta. Best of all it is available at Kroger and their family of stores. I tried the Tagliatelle di Campofilone which are Italian Flat Egg Noodles (Find No. 4) topped with the Sugo Bolognese con Barolo which is Bolognese Sauce with Barolo Wine (Find No. 17). The noodles come from the region of Marche. The word Tagliatelle originally came from the tiny medieval village of Campofilone, which overlooks the Adriatic Sea. The pasta is still prepared there to this day. According to legend, this traditional egg-based pasta originates from the late 1400s and has been passed down by generations of local women. The dough was rolled out on marble stones, then kept in cotton cloths to absorb humidity and preserve the character of the noodles. The eggs give the pasta a subtle but rich taste. The noodles are said to pair well with very simple ingredients such as olive oil, tomatoes, fresh basil and Parmigiano Reggiano, which I totally agree with. The box lists the ingredients as Durum, wheat semolina, and eggs. Very simple and natural. The box states to store the pasta in a cool, dry place. The pasta serving size is 2 oz (56g) and the box has four servings. One serving is 210 calories, 100mg cholesterol, and only 1g of sugar. The noodles were carefully packaged side by side in between wax paper very nicely.

The sauce come from the region of Emilia-Romagna which is located in north Italy, Emilia-Romagna is known for hearty dishes and quality meats, especially pork. The earliest mention of a meat based sauce recipe was in the late 18th century from a town near Bologna; thus, Bolognese was born! The sauce is rich, and even more depth in flavor with aged Barolo added. Barolo is considered one of Italy’s finest wines. The jar lists the ingredients as tomatoes, citric acid, pork, tomato paste, carrot, Barolo wine, extra virgin olive oil, rice starch, sugar, salt, onion, garlic, paprika, black pepper, and rosemary. Just list the pasta, simple and natural. The jar also states to store the pasta in a cool, dry place and refrigerate after opening. One serving is ½ cup (125 g) and the jar contains about 3 servings. So right away that tells me I probably won’t have enough sauce for the entire box of pasta. One serving of sauce is 160 calories, 30mg cholesterol, and 6g of sugar. I cooked everything in two pots on my stovetop. First I placed 4 quarts of water in a large pot and then added a pinch of sea salt. Salt is optional but the box stated that salt is always used in preparing pasta in Italy, and that a touch of salt in the water brings out the flavor of the pasta. The box always says sea salt is recommended since it is a natural product that enhances the flavor without salty tasting pasta. Once the water boiled, I turned the heat down to medium, added the pack of pasta to water. I stirred it every minute and after three minutes I drained it. Secondly, I emptied the jar of sauce in a medium pot and turn the stove top on medium. I stirred I every minute also. After about four minutes the sauce had started to boil a little so it was ready to go. I placed half of the noodles on one plate and half on the other. I split the sauce between them. We could have definitely used some more sauce, about another half jar to cover all the pasta. I love how easy and how little time it took to prepare this dish. Great for dinner in a hurry. It would be great with any kind of bread as a side. Any wine will with this dish. The pasta is very good and flavorful. Better then any egg noodles I have ever had. I was a little concerned about trying the sauce since I am picky but the sauce is amazing. It tastes familiar but I’m not sure what it tastes familiar to. Definitely not something I would expect to find at the grocery store but in a restaurant. It had a little spice but not much and a sweet light garlic tomato taste. The flat egg noodle pasta pairs wonderfully with the sauce. The pasta and sauce is a 10 out of 10 for me!

The sauce is priced at a whopping $5.49 for a 15oz (425g) jar. The pasta is $3.99 for a 9oz (255g) for a box. $9.45 for about 4 servings. I love this dish but unless the prices drop, there is a sale, or I have a coupon, I probably won’t be purchasing it since I can get a box of noodles for $1 that will last two meals and a jar of sauce for $2. Might not taste nearly as good but that is a big difference. Maybe if I’m looking to prepare a nice meal for my husband and I but don’t want to go to a restaurant I might.

There are many 5 more dry pastas available. There are two other HemisFares sauces available in jars, Fiery ‘Nouja and Basil Pasta Sauce and Cherry Tomato and “Aceto Balsamic Di Modema 16P” Pasta Sauce. HemisFares also has frozen in pastas and sauces. I’m very excited to see what comes next in the Kroger HemisFares line. I know I won’t be disappointed!

Authentic Italian pasta at home I love trying new things so I was very excited that I was invited to BzzAgent’s Kroger's Hemisfares frozen pasta and pasta sauce campaign. I have had the Kroger's Hemisfares dry pastas before and loved them all, so I hope their frozen pasta and sauce does not let me down. I went to Kroger to pick up my Hemisfares frozen pasta and sauce and found four different pastas and two different pasta sauces from five different regions of Italy. For the pasta they have Stelle Bufala e Spinaci Freschi (Mozzarella and Spinach Ravioli) from Campania, Perle Formaggio e Pere (Pear and Cheese Purses) from Lombardia, Rustici ai Porcini (Mushroom Ravioli) from Emilia-Romagna, and Vele al Basilico (Basil and Cheese Sails) from Liguria. For the pasta sauce they have Crema ai Quattro Formaggi (Four Cheese Cream Sauce) from Piemonte and Pomodoro e Basilico (Tomato and Basil Sauce) from Campania. After a few minutes I decided on the Hemisfares frozen pasta in Basil and Cheese Sails and Kroger's Hemisfares frozen pasta sauce in Tomato. The pasta and sauce is prices at $6.99 a bag. A couple of nights later I came home from a long day at work and when looking for something quick to make. I pulled Hemisfares frozen pasta and pasta sauce out of my freezer. I boiled water and put the pasta in the pot. Three minutes later it was done. I put the sauce in a pot and in five minutes it was ready. I poured the sauce over the pasta and stirred and it was ready to serve. I also had some bread that it paired well with. One bite and I’m hooked. I love the strong herb and cheese taste. The sauce is so flavorful with an excellent tomato taste. My husband loved it too. It was enough to feed the both of us. $13.98 for dinner made quickly at home. Who knew you could get authentic Italian pasta right at your local Kroger store. I can’t wait to go to Kroger so I can pick up another flavor to try. I do wish it was a little less pricey. If it was I would but it more often.

I had the chance to try Gorilla Packaging Tape thanks to Smiley360.com whom I’ve received this product from for free. I am packing up boxes of things as I'm getting ready to move within the next nine months so this came at just the right time. I am also working on some spring cleaning organizing and storing projects which it also came in handy for. I also ship out packages often too. I've tried many packing tapes before as I have moved four times in the last ten years and was never satisfied. They are all either too sticky and they stick to everything but what I am trying to tape or they are not sticky nor strong enough and tear easily. I am pleased to say that I have finally found a new packing tape that I am pleased with. Gorilla Packaging Tape is by far the best packing tape I have ever used. It is heavy duty so it never tears with the right amount of stickiness, great for moving, storing, and shipping. Just one strip of tape seals perfectly and it is water and temperature resistant, therefore it will hold tough in humid attics and damp basements. If you want to try the best packing tape ever pick up Gorilla Packaging Tape today.

Review of Purina One dry cat food Urinary Health Formula A few years ago one of my cats had urine crystals and ever since I have been feeding Hills Prescription Diet Urinary Care c/d which runs $40 for 8.5 lbs. When I went to the vet a month ago I asked if it would be okay to use Purina One dry cat food Urinary Health Formula. My vet said try it and if all is okay then it's fine. I began the Purina Switch the next day. Before I fed my cats Hills I fed them Cat Chow. I would find barf all over the house. I'm pleased to say that Purina One does not cause that issue. Their coats feel so much smoother and seem to shed less. @ They have no issues at all and are my happy kitties! I am also glad I'm only paying $16 for 7 lbs. I highly recommend Purina One dry cat food Urinary Health Formula especially if you have a kitty that had crystals. I have received products for complimentary testing purposes.

One hot new candy product is SweeTARTS Soft & Chewy Ropes, a chewy licorice rope that is both sweet and tart. The candy is formally called Kazoozles.

A rope is only 45 calories with a four pack being only 180 calories with no Artificial Flavors or colors.

I tried the Cherry Punch flavor. The first thing I noticed when I starting chewing was how soft and smooth the texture is. I was expecting to have to pick the licorice out of my teeth but to my surprise it didn’t stick to my teeth. I didn’t have to overly chew like I have to with Twizzlers and my jaw hurts for hours. Also the flavor is much better, no other way to explain it than cherry punch, a koolaid like flavor.

I received this product for free from Smiley360. I recommend that everyone gives the ropes a try. To learn more about the candy, view nutrition facts, play games, Smiley360, and much more visit http://h5.sml360.com/-/rf5s

Review of Kettle Brand popcorn in Sea Salt - First, I would like to start off saying that I am not the biggest popcorn fan! I’ll eat it here and there but it has to be covered in a ton of butter. Although I’m not a big popcorn fan I was still excited to try Kettle Brand popcorn since I am looking for healthy snack alternatives. I received a coupon to get a bag for free through BzzAgent. The popcorn can be found in the organic section of your local grocery store. I picked up mine at Kroger and Sea Salt was the only flavor left. The other three flavors are White Cheddar (which I really wanted to try), Sriracha, and Maple Bacon (I love bacon so I may give this a shot). The popcorn has no GMOs, preservatives, MSG, gluten, trans fat, or sugar and is only 150 calories for 3 cups. Sounds good to me! When I popped it in my mouth I did not notice a difference in the texture compared to any other popcorn. I was hoping that the sea salt would add lots of flavor to the popcorn and I would like it. I was wrong. The popcorn had very little taste. It was very plain tasting. If I could dump butter on it I would probably enjoy it, but then it wouldn’t be healthy.

Review of Kettle Brand Real Sliced Potatoes in Olive Oil - I love potatoes but I’m not really a potato chip fan! I thinks chips taste too salty and are filled with bad stuff and fat that my body doesn’t need. I received a free coupon from BuzzAgent for Kettle Brand Real Sliced Potatoes, so I decided to give them a try! The chips contain no GMOs, preservatives, MSG, gluten, trans fat or sugar. 20 chips have only 120 calories and 21g of carbs. I picked up a bag of the Olive Oil flavor which I found in the organic section of my grocery store (Kroger). There were not many on the shelf. When I popped a chip into my the first thing I noticed was the crunch followed by a light salty taste that turned into a bake potato with a light olive oil taste, just the right amount. Once I ate the first chip I couldn’t stop eating them. These chips are the most delicious chips I have ever tastest and healthest too. Finally a chip I will eat! I’m not into the being green movement but if you are Kettle Brand buys wind energy credits, recycles 90% of there waste, and even converts used vegetable oil into biodiesel to fuel their company cars. These chips are definitely a 10 out of 10. I can’t wait to try the other flavors which include Cheddar + Roasted Tomatoes, Sea Salt + Vinegar, Hickory Honey BBQ, and Sea Salt.
