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.

Strong, Functional Umbrella

This is absolutely the best umbrella I have owned in a long time!  It is functional and fashionable!  I bought the turquoise blue because I am so tired of the sea of black umbrellas I see every time it rains.  I wish more people would have bright colored umbrellas to brighten up those dreary rainy days.  But I regress... This umbrella is different from the moment you get it home.  You can see the difference in just the opening of it when you see the sleeve it comes in and the material the sleeve is made of.  The umbrella is made of that same material. It is thicker than your standard umbrellas you can see that and the material feel is soft yet durable. When you see the handle it has the auto open/close button and a wrist strap.  The feel of the handle is almost like those plush microfiber materials yet made of plastic.  It felt very comfortable in hand and did not slip. When you finally open the umbrella there is a black 'powdercoat' on...

The Scent of Christmas - All Year!

I love the smells of Christmas!  Pine trees, cold air, snow, and of course, Peppermint! I recently discovered the benefits of pure essential oils for health, wellness and home uses.  It was recommended to me that I try using an oil product in my diffusers/humidifiers in order to help clear up my sinuses.  Right now it is cold and flu season although it is unseasonably warm in the NorthEast.   I found this product and researched the company and learned a lot about them and the products they make.  They are community oriented and based in the United States.  I have used this now for a few weeks and find that my friends were spot on.  It soothes my nasal issues and I find that I breathe easier.   The scent is strong but not overbearing.  Some scents can make you cough and your eyes burn, but not these.  I find it brings great memories of Christmastime and heath and home. It also is great to ward off those little rodents in your h...

Comfortable Deep Sleep Mask

This Dream Essential Silk Premium Black Eye Mask is a very high quality sleep mask that I can recommend for anyone. It is extremely luxurious.  Made of 100% silk.  It allows the user to adjust the band in the back to their own comfort level so it is never too tight or too loos.  There is additional padding in the undereye/nose bridge area so that it does not lay flat against your face. There were no material lines or marks on any part of my face upon waking up.  This mask completely blocked out 100% of the natural light in the room and the 'false' ligthing from the cable box, alarm clock, etc.  I was able to nap during the day when I had a migraine and still use it at night to sleep through.   It is also great to travel with.  I took it on a recent train excursion and it kept the sunlight out so I could nap on the train and not be woken by the lighting.  It is very well made and easy to care for. #dreamessentials Disclosure:...
