UnJunk your Junk Food





UNREAL...Its the only word for this type of candy with no Artificial color, no Artificial Flavors, No Corn Syrup and No Hydrogenated oils.

When I first got into this BzzAgent campaign to try this new candy, I was a little leery that anything that takes out all the bad stuff that makes junk food taste good would probably taste awful.  I signed up anyhow thinking what could it hurt.

Upon arrival of my Bzzkit full of coupons for these candies, I immediately went in search of them.  They were a little difficult to find at first, but I suppose most new products are.  I finally found them at a store in New Jersey near my office.  

I purchased the Unreal 41: Candy Coated Chocolates, Unreal 5: Chocolate Caramel Nougat Bar, and Unreal 77: Peanut Butter Cups.  The packaging looks like an 80's video game with a make on a black background.  The 'maze' actually spells UNREAL.  I took them home and stuck them in the refrigerator as I like my chocolate candies in a cold state.  

I decided to try the Candy Coated Chocolates first.   They were delicious.  The coloring used for the candy shell are made from natural ingredients like beetroot, turmeric and cabbage juice.  They made the colors less vivid than the competitor but all the same you are not eating the candy for its color.  The chocolate was smooth and less sweet which makes it a good alternative to the 'name brand'.

I split the Caramel Nougat Bar and the Peanut Butter cups with my husband.  Again in each of these the chocolate was smooth and less sweet.  The caramel was a little drier than those in the commercial name brands and gave it a little more texture when eating.  The peanut butter tasted more like real peanuts and was   smoother than the commercial brand and definitely tasted great!  My husband had a preference of the peanut butter cup as well. 

Overall the product is a good idea and I have and will continue to recommend, however the company needs a little work on marketing and availability.

Spritz'n Clean Amazing Ion Phone Cleaner

I really like this product.  Cell phones and tablets are among the dirtiest technology that we cannot live without these days.  Do you realize that if you do not clean the screens of the units and continue to use them you are just piling on the germs and spreading them around? If the unit touches your skin on your face when you are using it the germs make contact and this is a perfect a Not to mention the natural oils in your hands smudge the screens and make them unreadable. This is a great product for taking care of those nasty devices and ensuring you get a shiny screen and no germs to spread. You fill the chamber with the cleaning liquid and it comes out in an ionized fine mist on the screen.  You use the special MicroChamois that is infused with silver to wipe the screen.  Silver is known to have antimicrobial/antibacterial properties. That's it.  It could not be simpler and it works!  You get a nice carrying case for the device and a nice pouch made out of the same si

Rapid Release Pain Relief That Works

I love sampling products that I know come from trusted brands and from a site that comes through with lots of awesomeness.  I am talking about Crowdtap with whom I have been a loyal user of for a few years now. This newest sampling is a brand you may be familiar with as I have written about it before a few years ago.  I am talking about Advil.  This product is a Rapid Release formula and makes it their fastest acting Advil to date.  I received my samples recently and funnily enough immediately following a short stay in hospital for a pain related malady. Coincidence? Maybe fate was looking down? Either way it was pretty incidental. The samples were such a relief because I choose not to take prescription painkillers unless absolutely supremely necessary. The way I was feeling at that moment was that I know Advil has worked in the past and I was hoping it would work this time too. I would have been disappointed not to be able to bounce back a little quicker.  However th

Sunhats in Style

Hats were never really my thing until I realized that not only did they serve a purpose but they could be extremely fashionable as well!   I really am a person who loves to go outside, but my skin does not.  Even sunscreen can and has failed me.   I was excited to try this sun hat when I saw it because I love the look of it as trendy, chic and the embroidery and ribbon around the brim just finish it off perfectly. Once I had it on it became a part of me.  I knew it was just the thing.  It fit my head perfectly and covered my eyes and face from the harmful rays.  I wore it on the Boardwalk and when I was strolling I got a lot of compliments on the style.  It is a fashion forward and yet vintage style.  The hat travels well too.  Just fold it up and unfold at your destination and in a short while it springs back to the correct shape for you to grab it and go out an enjoy the day. This hat is so cute and comes with many sayings in the embroidery that I may have to pi
