This review is for the wasabi flavor.
These snacks are absolutely great (though I didn't think so until the second time I tried them). They're so light and crispy. Their flavor is salty, with a bit of shellfish flavor, and, of course, wasabi! They have the perfect amount of wasabi; spicy, but not unbearable. They're not only good, but good for you, too!
While I do absolutely love these snacks, they are a bit pricey! A package doesn't last long, and at around $4 per package that can add up! I always stock up on them when I find a sale.

For this review, I tried the tangerine flavor.
This beverage is a sparkling juice. The tangerine is 60% juice, so there is plenty of sugar involved. HOWEVER, these are natural sugars from the fruit rather than added sugars (this beverage has no added sugar.)
This drink has the perfect amount of sweetness to get your soda fix. It doesn't have quite as much carbonation as a Coca-Cola, for instance, but still has plenty. The flavor itself is FANTASTIC; tastes just like tangerines!

So Delicious Mint Chip Almond Milk Frozen Desserts

This is my VERY FAVORITE dessert. I love that it's dairy free, but it's still so tasty. It has less carbs than a package of ramen (I think it has 10g of sugar!) Unlike most ice cream, I don't feel sick from the overload of artificial ingredients and sugar after eating this stuff.
Despite all of this healthiness (or not-unhealthiness), it's completely satisfying as a dessert. It has the perfect amount of mint, and you can taste the almond milk, too. The chocolate chips are frozen, so they give the perfect crunch when you eat it.
This "ice cream" is a little pricey at around $5 a pint, but it's so worth it!

This is easily the best hand cream I've ever used.
Before using this cream, my hands were cracking from the dryness, they were itchy, and just generally uncomfortable. After using this cream just once, my hands felt immediately better. I have a tendency to not remember to moisturize until I feel some dryness, which makes using regular moisturizers kind of useless. This cream is so moisture rich and effective, that I'm able to just use it once in a while and keep my skin soft and moisturized. It even healed my wedding ring rash (very chapped skin under the wedding rings caused by the water it catches and keeps there) in less than a week!
I used to work as a personal care assistant, so I had to wash and sanitize my hands constantly which wreaked havoc on them. I used some expensive hand creams at that time, but this budget cream is right on par, if not better, than those. And it's only $1.09 retail for a 0.75-ounce tin (a little goes a long way)!
I really cannot recommend this cream enough.

I got the Amazon Kindle Touch as a birthday gift.
I absolutely love this machine.
PROS:
- Easy to use (the navigation is pretty simple)
- Affordable price of $99 (buy it at Staples, a two yr. accidental damage warranty is only $20!)
- Durable (I have dropped it a couple of times with no harm)
- There are tons of programs available for use on the kindle (games, to do lists, internet, calendars & more)
- As well as programs that can send content to your kindle (RSS feeds, web pages, & more)
- Convenient search function to search for words in your library and books (this is great for finding a book that is about something specific, say vampires or dogs:D)
- Sufficient memory (I want to say mine holds 2,000 books)
- Display is clear, easy to read, and easy on the eyes.
- Ridiculously long battery life (when Wifi is off)
- Tons of accessories available like covers, pointers, and more.
- Lots of free books and programs available.
CONS:
- Sometimes (I think it's when in direct sunlight for too long) the touch can become less sensitive
- if you have a lot of content on your kindle it can be hard to sort them.
- The display does show some ghosting even when page refresh is on (not too bothersome).
As a lifelong reader of used (and cheap) books, I never saw a whole lot of need to buy a kindle. But I'm so happy I have one now.
This machine is sweet, and if you love reading, you will love it!!
