KASHI HUMMUS CRISPS





Holy guacamole! The Sea Salt and Olive Oil Hummus Crisps taste exactly like sea salt, and you can even taste the olive oil, which was a shocker for me. (How do they do that?!) So, if you have ever fallen for sea salt-and-vinegar potato chips, look no further! Light and airy with a serving size of — hold on to your fit butts — 27 crisps, these have 120 calories. No reason to feel any shame in chowin’ down.


The deliciously crunchable hummus experience contains:
At least 3g fiber*
At least 3g protein**
At least 5g of whole grains***
No partially hydrogenated oils
No high fructose corn syrup
No artificial anything!

You can crunch through three naturally yummy flavors: Caramelized Onion, Sundried Tomato Basil & Feta, and Sea Salt & Olive Oil.
*3.5g total fat per serving
**Not a significant source of protein (5% daily value per serving)
***Recommended to consume at least 48 grams of whole grain each day

Although these are not my two favorite flavors in general I still enjoyed them with a cucumber and greek yogurt dip. These chips add flavor to whatever you are eating it with.

I just love how I can eat them solo or with a dip,sauce.


I did receive this product for free from bzz agent  for testing purposes.

Dr. Scholl's® For Her High Heel Insoles

 So, I have a mild case of flat feet. In any degree, flat feet are painful, especially when you try to wear high heels. Like most flat footers I simply avoided anything with a heel. My Hello Kitty obsession went into overdrive when I came upon these glittery HK heels online and I had to have them. Of course I knew I could not wear them and sadly they sat there looking pretty, until Influenster gave me an opportunity to try them for free for testing purposes! I was so excited.

I have never used insoles before because they were out of my budget ( I'm a stay at home mom/college student) and although they only go for about $10.99 at most retail stores, I didn't want to risk spending that money on "maybe they will work."

Boy how I wished I would have bought them before! They were great! I was finally able to wear my heels for more than 2 hours without having to take them off every 10 minutes for comfort.

Dr. Scholls For Her High Heel Insoles have a uniquely designed ultra soft gel arch that shifts pressure off the balls of your feet. They also have a unique adhesive that helps the insole stay in place. You can also remove the insole without any damage to your shoes. The 3/4 length wont crowd your toes so you can be comfy, and its practically invisible even in strappy heels! They are also slim to they wont make your shoes feel tight and designed to fit heels "2" inch or higher. Isn't that great?!?

The only problem with these insoles is that they are only available in size 6-10, thankfully I'ma  size 7.5,  so anyone who is in a bigger size cannot experience the comfort these insoles provide. Which makes me sad. Maybe Dr.Schollls will offer them in a bigger size soon.

Although it didn't completely take ALL the pain away, these insoles helped tremendously.  I was able to have my heels on for about a full six hours without complaint thanks to these insoles. I would definitely recommend Dr. Scholls For Her High Heel Insole to my friends and family and I will be definitely be buying them after this.

NYC New York Color Sparkle Eye Dust

*** I received this product complimentary form Influenster for testing purposes***


I was able to try NYC Sparkle Eye Dust in Smokey Topaz and what a beautiful color it was. It has a wonderfully soft applicator that is just the right size to allow you just to need one swipe to be set. This color is suitable bot for day and evening wear, which is great because I like to have a little shimmer and sparkle both day and night. The only con is that it is shimmer dust, so you may need to wipe some off your clothes or face; what I did if I wanted less shimmer dust was use a smaller applicator, but other than that it is great! I cant wait to try out the other colors. http://newyorkcolor.com/products/eyes/eyeshadow/sparkle-eye-dust-0
