Only Salt


When it comes to salt I know that I'm always using it while I'm cooking or baking. I guarantee that you will always find salt in every recipe that you use. Recently I connected with a company called Only Salt. When I learned about their company I realized that the salt from the store had ingredients in it that were not healthy for you. Only salt makes sure that those ingredients are in the salt and that it's pure salt. 

I was excited that to see what this was all about. They sent me a little package with to packets of their salt that will fit in the little wooden salt container. I know that I have been talking to my dad about these where to keep your salt in. These are great to have around the house and simple to use. Just take off the lid and take a pinch of salt. 

When I learned about what is in the normal salt like has chemicals and different ingredients that are in there I was shocked. I didn't want to ingest these chemicals that they brought to light. Now I make sure that I'm looking what is in the package. What I would recommend checking out Only Salt. They list the chemicals that you can find your everyday salt. They also offer options where you can purchase their salt. You can find their website at the link below.

Clif Bar

Are you looking for that extra boost in the morning or even the afternoon? Well I have the perfect product for you if you are. Clif Bar came out with new coffee flavor Clif Bars. I know when I'm at work that these bars come in handy. They are a perfect snack or that perfect pick me up when you need that extra boost. 

The three new flavors that we took a look at was their Dark Chocolate Mocha, Carmel Macchiato, and Vanilla Almond Latte. The first Clif Bar that we took a look at was their Dark Chocolate Mocha Flavor. This comes in a Fudgy Dark chocolate that is accented with roasted coffee notes. This has a bit of dark chocolate mocha and crunchy chocolate covered organic coffee beans, all in one. This will help you get that extra boost that you are looking for during the day.

The second bar that we took a look at was their Caramel Macchiato Flavor. This one is my favorite out of three that I was able to try. This has an amazing flavor of rich, buttery caramel and roasted coffee flavors that come together. I noticed when I was trying this bar that it had a crunchy chocolate cover organic coffee beans. This also has white mocha pieces to add to the flavor. 

The last flavor that we tried was their Vanilla Almond Latte. I will admit at first I wasn't sure if I would enjoy this flavor. I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed it. This has a creamy vanilla-flavored coffee blended with crunchy, chocolate covered organic coffee beans, white mocha chunks and roasted almonds to give it that extra boost. This one will leave you wanting more.

All three Clif Bars were pleasantly a great surprised. I know that I have tried their regular bars in the past and they are amazing. Although I never thought of the combination of Clif Bars and coffee. If you are a coffee fein I would recommend trying these coffee bars out. It's a great source of energy if you are looking for that extra boost. You can find more information or check out where you can buy these bars at the link below.

Mister Bee


Are you looking for a new brand of potato chips? I recently came across a company that offers a variety of different flavor potato chips. When we were able to try Mister Bee I was very impressed with the flavors of the potatoes chips. I know that I didn't want to put the bag down, because they were that good. 

Here is a little bit about Mister Bee. Mister Bee Potato Chip Company was founded in 1951 by Leo and Sara Klein in West Virginia. What was interesting is that Mr. Klein would make the potato chips in the early morning and deliver them fresh in the afternoon. Then they moved to West Virginia Avenue where the chips are still made today. Leo Klein operated the business until 1979, when he passed away. Mister Bee in 2010 was having financial difficulties and in 2015 it was purchased by new owners Mary Anne, Douglas Ketelsen, James Richard Barton, Gregory Barton, and Gregory Reed. 

The variety of chips that they offer on their website are Original Chips, Sour Cream and Onion, Dip Style, Barbeque, Cheddar Sour Cream, Honey Barbeque, Jalapeno, Salt and Vinegar, and Potato Stix. We received a variety pack to give a try. At first when we opened a few bags to try, we weren't sure what to expect. I will admit trying new things are hard on our family due to having favorites. When I opened the pack of Original Chips they were amazing. The flavor was just right and just the right amount of salt. I would say that they're better than the name brand chips that are out there. When I started eating them I couldn't put them down. Also I like how they offer a variety of different flavors, so there is something for everyone. 

I would recommend Mister Bee and I wish that I knew about their company before now. Their chips are amazing and I know that my family and I are going to switch to their chips now. They are amazing and make the greatest snack. I would also put these chips in a baggie and put them in my children lunch. I would recommend checking out their website below.

Fun Wines Summer Fun

Are you looking to bring that special drink to that summer fun event? I know  are picnics, camping, summer parties, cooks out and so much more. I know looking for that special drink for that special occasion can be challenging at times. When I was introduced to Fun Wine. I knew that this wine would make Summer fun!!

The first thing that I noticed when our packaged arrived was their box. This wasn't any boring packaging box it had their wines pictured on the box with colorful background. I also noticed that their were emojis and little characters on the box that made it fun. It brought  excitement when opening the box to see what was inside. 

When we took a peek inside we noticed that there was three wines and six cans of their three flavors of wine. Do you want a taste of Miami? Then this Coconut Chardonnay. This wine you can experience the smoothness of chardonnay with amazing exotic flavors of coconut and hints of pineapple. This blend taste amazing with pineapple and coconut. I feel like I'm on adventure on the beach on a island. What I like about this wine that it comes in a bottle and a mini can which is nice. I like how you can have the wine at home or at a party and share. Or if you want to enjoy a little bit you can have a can.   

The next flavor that we were able to try was their Strawberry Moscato. I know that personally I'm a strawberry fan and a huge fan of  wine. When I heard about this wine I knew that I had to try it. This wine also comes in the bottle and the can. This is a refreshing wine that tastes like strawberries and has the crisp aroma of rose moscato that will arouse your taste buds. I would drink this wine with dessert. I really enjoyed this Strawberry Mocato and it is my favorite out of the three.

The last wine that we were able to try was their 
Sangria. I like Sangria wine. I feel like it the original and Sangria usually taste amazing. This is a fruisty fierty and inviting with distinct characteristic of juicy fruit that is bold and refreshing. This is the perfect wine to bring to that outing during the summer or that party. This will be a hit and taste amazing. I personally will bring with me to the Fourth of July party that I'm going to. This also comes in a bottle and a can which is nice. 

What I like about Fun Wines is that they stand out from the other wines that I have tried and tasted. What stands out to me is the presentation of the wine. When I took it out of the box it was in another box that was fun and had emojis over the box. That what stood out the most at first. The each bottle was a fun design and had little critters on the bottle. Which would make me want to pick it up and check it out. Also the flavoring of each wine taste amazing. Where I was quite impressed with the whole presentation of this wine and the flavors. I would recommend checking them out on their website below.

Partake Brewery


When I learned about Partake Brewing it touched my heart. I didn't realize that certain conditions out there can cause people not to drink beer or other alcoholic drinks. WhenI learned about Partake Brewing it opened up my thought process and I learned a lot. The owner of Partake Brewery loves his craft beer, but when he was diagnosed with chrones disease he decided to give up alcohol. 

When choosing the decision he decided to create Partake Brewery which offers a non alcoholic beverage.  I was quite impressed with this idea and that Partake Brewery gives people options if they're not allowed to drink alcoholic beverages. We received their Discovery Pack to give a try. I would recommend if you are new to this product the Discovery Pack would be the first option to try. You can taste a variety of different beers and than you can decided which one you prefer. Then you have to option to buy variety packs or them individual. 

The Discovery Pack comes with five different flavors: Red, Blondie, Pale, IPA and Stout. 

Red is the first beer that we took a look at. This is their newest addition to the Partake family. This has 25 calories and 3 carbs in this beer. This is crafted with 5 malts, Partake is a smooth and soft with ribbons of caramel malt and toast. This is a classic English and Irish ales. 

The next beer is their Pale Beer. Their Pale is a internationally award-winning craft beer with 10 calories and 0 carbs. This has a medium bitterness to it but is balanced by caramel malt sweetness and perfumey, and tropical aromatics. This will be a favorite beer drinkers. 

IPA is their first beer that they ever brewed. This is featured on the Dragons Den. This is a 10 calories and 2 carbs. This beer is considered to be a favorite. This beer balances the citrusy hops with a sweet malt backbone. This is a light bubbly body and dry finish.

The next beer is the Blonde. Their Blonde is an easy summer sipper perfect or sitting on your deck and enjoying your summer. this is a 15 calories and 3 carbs. This is a golden, bubbly and easy drinking. This is a malt forward ale which is a favorite in our family.

The last beer is Stout. This beer has 30 calories and 8 carbs. This is a great beer to have with a burger. This is a deep brown beer that has warmth, walnut highlights topped by tall, a tan cap of foam. 

Overall I would recommend this drink for people who can't have alcoholic drinks or for the Fourth of July. I would also recommend if you want to drink with friend when your at a party that this beer would make a great option for that experience. I would recommend checking out their website at the link below.
