Review: Energems

I lack energy, and i will be the first person to admit that. I don't like to drink coffee for energy, as almost every time I drink it, it gives me a stomach-ache. I have officially found my new best friend- Energems.

These have been such a lifesaver in the past few weeks. I received three different flavors to try: Chocolate peanut Butter, and Mint. The mint flavor was my favorite. These are basically giant chocolate M&M's, packed with vitamins and caffeine.

I take three of these when I am lacking "get Up & Go" during the day. You can take up to Nine of these for maximum energy. Though, I find 3 to be sufficient for me.
Whether you’re a computer programmer, supermom or college student, being anything but your best is not an option. And when you’re on the go from morning to night (and late night), you need to find ways to keep yourself motivated… Ways that don’t come back to haunt you… Or allow a half-assed version of yourself to show up… Or taste like crap… The way energy drinks and energy shots do.
Making the most of every single moment—no matter how big or small—makes you who you are. Enter, Energems: a better-tasting, more portable, less in-your-face, non-jittery way to manage the energy you need. Anywhere, anytime.
Besides, who doesn’t love chocolate?
I have also noticed that when I take these I have no "crash" like other products that promise energy. I carry a pack with me everywhere I go, just in case I am feeling sluggish.

I swear by these and have been recommending them to everyone!
10/10!!

Review: Barbara's Cookie Pies

I had the pleasure to review one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten in my lifetime: Barbara's Cookie Pies! I got to try the Peanut Butter Cup Pie, and Oh Man- It was divine.

The peanut butter was so creamy, and the crust was amazing... Everyone in my house loved it! It was gone in a day! Though I wanted to hoard this to myself, I shared with everyone.

Barbara's uses quality ingredients in her pies and you can tell. Check out these ingredients!
Ingredients: 

Cookie Pie Crust:

Fresh creamery butter, sugar, unbleached flour, real vanilla, whole eggs

Topping:

Whipped peanut butter, confectioner’s sugar, real vanilla , real semi-sweet chocolate
I don't know if you have read the labels on the desserts at the grocery store, but I can almost guarantee you, that you would find some sort of chemical or preservative in there. I love that I know what all the ingredients are, and though this is not considered "healthy", it is , in my opinion, better than loading your body up with chemicals. 

Each pie/cookie is handmade. The crust, instead of a traditional Pie crust, is a butter cookie crust! You can eat this with a fork, but I would recommend just picking it up and eating it with your hands. Barbara's makes all sorts of wonderful goodies!

Barbara's Hand-Made Cookie Pies are the evolution of the cookie into something bigger and better... a decadent fusion of traditional cookie & candy classics with a modern artisan touch. They look like a pie, but eat like a cookie!
It all starts with an authentic butter cookie dough made from a 3 generation family recipe. This buttery cookie dough (a treat by itself) forms the bottom layer of each Cookie Pie; then each is filled with popular cookie & candy toppings. It’s a cookie-in–a-cookie! 

Each Cookie Pie is hand-made from scratch in small batches, hand-pressed and hand-decorated. Barbara’s Cookie Pies only use high-quality ingredients to ensure love is baked into every bite. Great for gifts, parties, desserts, holidays, snacks & catering. Barbara’s Cookie Pies and Butter Cookies are delivered fresh to your door locally and nationwide.
These would make a great gift! I know I would love to receive one of these! Super Yummy!
I would give these a 10/10!!

Review: Artisana Nut Butters

Since I have started my blogging adventure, I have learned a lot of things. Most of them being, that it really does matter what you put in and on your body. I have a few Facebook friends who always talk about eating "raw", and up until I tried these butters, I had assumed "raw" meant "bland". That is so NOT the case. I can honestly tell you that since I have been eating better, more organic, even Vegan items, that I can feel the difference in my body. I do not get stomach pains every day like I used to, and I have even lost weight! After reading over several different labels on many different organic products, I realized that products are so much better without all of the additives!

When I received my shipment of Artisana Nut Butters, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect. I had never tried anything like these before. The only "Nut Butter" I had ever tried was Peanut Butter, and I use that term lightly. Many Peanut Butters are packed with things that don't belong in Peanut Butter!

I tried the Cashew butter first, as cashews are my favorite nuts in the entire world. I tried it plain first, Oh man, It was so delicious. It was creamy, and it sticks to the roof of your mouth like you would expect it to, and it tasted exactly like Cashews! of course, it should, because the only ingredient in this butter is Organic Raw Cashews. Then I tried it on graham crackers... and I was in heaven. I gave some to everyone in my household to try, and they all loved it also.

I was also sent a jar of raw organic Coconut Butter. This was a little different than I expected. I did try this plain, and it is very good, but I don't think I would eat this plain. I think they would be absolutely wonderful in a smoothie. I also think this particular butter would be great for making Coconut Shrimp. It has a sweetness to it, but it is a natural sweetness, because, as well as with the Cashew butter, it only has one Ingredient, Organic Raw Coconut.

I was also sent a variety of packets containing their different flavors of nut butters. I think my favorite out of the packets I was sent was the Chocolate Paste with Rose. Sounds different, I thought for sure I wouldn't like this one, but I loved it. Just as good, if not better than the common Hazelnut Chocolate Spread we all know and love.

All of the products I received were Vegan, and Kosher and Gluten Free!


Creating uniquely delicious, healthy, gourmet food is a work of passion for us. Using the most careful attention to detail and quality and handmade with care, our organic live foods are crafted using a special temperature controlled process that preserves the life-essential fatty acids, enzymes, vitamins and minerals.

I loved these butters, and I also love that you can use them for so many different things. You can eat them plain, in smoothies, sauces or desserts!
I would give these a 10/10!

Review & Coupon Code: Bulu Box!

I received my first Bulu Box yesterday, I had been waiting almost a week for it to arrive. Bulu box is a subscription box program that delivers monthly "goody boxes" right to your door!

The first thing I received in my box was "Tapaz 2 Go". It is a little snack pack of lentil crackers and hummus. I have to tell you, I love hummus, I have tried all sorts of flavors of hummus, and this was the BEST I have ever had. The flavors going on in this were incredible. 

The next this in the box that I tried was NeoCell's Beauty bursts. I have been hearing wonderful things about these products lately (I will be doing a review on another NeoCell product soon). These tasted great and are packed with vitamins to make you more beautiful!

Next, were Smarty pants Gummy vitamins for grownups. They are an all in one multivitamin, made for adults. They are made with only Organic sweeteners, with no high fructose Corn Syrup. I tried these, and they were unlike any gummy vitamin I have ever tried. The reminded me of Sour Patch kids! Very good, and very good for you.

Next, was MeStrength, a powdered drink mix packet that includes electrolytes and Creatine. It contains Zero carbs, Zero Calories, and Zero sugars! You use this before and after workouts. Helps kick start your metabolism.

My box also included WhiteShield. They are little packets that you mix into your coffee to prevent and remove staining on your teeth. Everyone who drinks coffee needs these little packets!

The last thing in my box was a KIND Dark Chocolate and Chili Almond bar. this bar contains 6 grams of protein!! As well as 7 grams of Fiber, and only 5 grams of Sugar! That's crazy. now go look at the nutritional information on that box of granola bars you have sitting in the cupboard. makes you want this one more right? Plus, This one tastes way better than your regular granola type bar.
