Voortman Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, not really my cup of tea. I was pleasantly surprised to see the size of the package that arrived from ChickAdvisor. The box of Voortman Bakery products was a good sized box and wrapped really pretty inside. With the Voortman Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies, I really didn't like the texture. The cookie itself was a bit too hard for my liking because I'm more of a fan of soft cookies. I also am more accustomed to an oatmeal raisin cookie I suppose, even though the Voortman Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies were at least a different spin on an oatmeal cookie. I took into account the health factors of the ingredients used to make these cookies. The whole grain, natural flavors, and no high fructose corn syrup is why I gave a higher marking on quality and value. However, the taste itself was just "meh" for me. This particular flavor of cookie from Voortman just didn't do it for me. I most likely would not purchase any of this flavor in the future. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to try these for free in exchange for my opinion. #gotitforfree -

Voortman Coconut Cookies are just the thing for coconut fans. I was pleasantly surprised to see the size of the package that arrived from ChickAdvisor. The box of Voortman Bakery products was a good sized box and wrapped really pretty inside. When I tasted the first cookie, the texture was a bit harder than I would like. I also really could not appreciate the full sweetness and coconut flavor of the cookie until I had a couple more. The full taste catches up with your taste buds with more than one cookie. Dispite that, they were still enjoyable. My 16 year old twin boys loved them and finished them off too, so that's saying something. The Voortman Coconut Cookies were good and I would probably purchase some in the future. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to try these for free in exchange for my opinion. #gotitforfree -

Voortman Strawberry Banana Wafers are awesome because I didn't know such a flavor existed! I was pleasantly surprised to see the size of the package that arrived from ChickAdvisor. The box of Voortman Bakery products was a good sized box and wrapped really pretty inside. The first thing I noticed about the Voortman Strawberry Banana Wafers were the taste and that they were not dyed pink. I am used to other strawberry wafer brands growing up as a child. The strawberry flavors are always dyed pink and taste nothing like strawberry, so this was a big change to actually taste a natural strawberry and banana taste without those artificial dyes. As with the vanilla wafers from Voortman Bakery, I like that the Voortman Strawberry Banana Wafers had just the right amount of sweet without being overpowering. I have just about had to let go of sweets because I am pregnant and the sugar is just too much for my stomach. The Voortman Stawberry Banana Wafers were also very good and I would definitely purchase some in the future. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to try these for free in exchange for my opinion. #gotitforfree -

Voortman Vanilla Wafers are just enough sweet for my sweet tooth. I was pleasantly surprised to see the size of the package that arrived from ChickAdvisor. The box of Voortman Bakery products was a good sized box and wrapped really pretty inside. The first thing I noticed about the Voortman Vanilla Wafers were the taste. I am used to other vanilla wafers brands growing up as a child. These had more of a natural vanilla flavor, vesus the very sweet and artificial/sugary taste I was used to eating. I like that the Voortman Vanilla Wafers had just the right amount of sweet without being overpowering. I have just about had to let go of sweets because I am pregnant and the sugar is just too much for my stomach.

I purchased this product for my three sons. It works for 48 hours and smells really nice. Being that two of them are teenagers, they like to put off showers sometimes until the very last minute. The 48 hour protection from the Men Degree MotionSense Dryspray: Adventure helps to keep down on the B-O's (body odors) as when other deodorants would play out before they decided to get the next shower. I prefer that scent any day over B-O. There's also the advantage of not seeing solid deodorant broken up in their armpit hair... YUCK! On the downside, they can spray too much. That causes it to run out too fast. I even caught one of them spraying their clothes with it. Talk about overkill! -

Epionce Skin Care- I was skeptical but this skin care system Amazed me!!! I have very, very dry skin due to using Retin-A cream for really bad acne when I was a teen. My skin will peel and crack if I don't moisturize. it also will have a rough texture, especially on that ezcema patch on my face. After one day of using the system of the Gentle Foaming Cleanser, Intense Defense Serum, Lytic Tx, & Renewal Facial Lotion, I felt and saw a drastic change in my skin. The formulas were gentle on my skin and do not have an overpowering fragrance. Epionce gets people with extremely dry skin like me!!!! -

First of all, I would like to disclose that I received this product for free, in exchange for a thorough and honest product review. So after long and thorough searching, I was finally able to find a Sprouts Farmers Markets in NE Piedmont, Atlanta. It was quite the road-trip and my children and me enjoyed our first shopping trip there. That's where I had to purchase the product. So, I just prepared this product today. It's Kim's Simple Meals Organic Homestyle Burger. As the instructions on the box say, you just add water and cook it. So when I opened the box, I saw an oat-like (oatmeal looking) mixture that smelled like barbecue potato chips. You could really smell the seasonings in it. You have to add 1 1/2 cups of boiling water to the mixture and let it sit until it is firm (a few minutes). it was gooey a bit like oatmeal too as I made the patties. I was able to form 2 monster sized patties, which I had to cook for 15 minutes on both sides. I love meat, but I have tried vegan products. The oatmeal texture had me worried until the patties were cooked. Kim nailed the taste! Once the cooked patties are put into a bun with added toppings, you almost get that illusion that you are eating a burger. You most certainly get that taste too. However, the texture is somewhat grainy and you can tell that you are not eating meat. It is close though. The first bite gives you the illusion that you are eating a burger until you begin to chew. You feel the grains and texture that is not quite like meat. Would I purchase this again? It's possible but not on a regular basis. It did satisfy my burger craving though. It was delicious but again, I could tell that it was not meat. The texture was off a bit. If there is someone that has been taken off of beef and red meat, this is definitely a healthier option. It's hearty and will satisfy you as if you ate a burger. I know vegans will absolutely love this. Honestly, I still prefer the meaty version. I didn't get the juices and firmness of biting a meat patty. -

I emailed a company called Go Picnic on 2/1/2016. I told them how I wanted to make healthier snacking choices for my family and me. I also expressed my interest in their products. I kindly asked for samples and they obliged. Go Picnic makes ready-to-eat meals that do not require refrigeration. I received from them a Turkey, Stick, and Crunch Meal and a Beef, Cheese, and Pita Chips Meal.
The Turkey, Stick, & Crunch Meal
They sent me a Turkey Stick, and Crunch Meal that contained 2 hardwood-smoked turkey snack sticks (0.5 oz. each), Barbeque Popchips (0.4oz.), Tropical 0 Fruit Peel-a-Part (0.7 oz.), Tutti Fruiti fruit & seed blend (0.63 oz.), and a Chocomallocrispie chocolately rice crisp bar (0.49 oz.). The meal was 77g and 270 calories for one serving. The turkey sticks were well seasoned and had that deep smoky flavor. The Barbeque Popchips were light and airy, unlike regular potato chips, but good. The Tropical 0 Fruit Peel-a-Part was not too sweet. It actually tasted like natural fruit with no added sweeteners. It was a bit chewy, sticky, and tart, but good. The Tutti Fruiti fruit & seed blend was the second best part of this meal to me, besides the turkey sticks. It was a mixture of dried fruit such as pineapple, banana chips, cranberries, raisins, roasted pumpkin seeds (pepitas), and cherries. It was so good. Last was the Chocomallocrispie chocolately rice crisp bar. I tasted the chocolate and gooey-ness of the bar. It was good, but not as enjoyable as the dried fruit and nut mix. So if I had to rank what was in the box, it would go like this: turkey sticks; Tutti Fruiti fruit & seed blend; Barbeque Popchips; and Chocomallocrispie chocolately rice crisp bar. I was not full, but I was satisfied after eating this meal. There was also a Sudoku puzzle inside of the box and I love those!
The Beef, Cheese, & Pita Chips Meal
The Beef, Cheese, and Pita Chips Meal contained 2 beef sticks (0.5 oz. each), Copper Cowbell Gourmet Creamy Classic Herb cheese spread (0.75 oz.), Little Bread Hen multigrain pita chips (1 oz.), Sweet Perry Orchards Cashew Medley fruit & nut mix ( 0.62 oz.), and Professor Zim Zam's Extraordinary Sweets Nillamallocrispie vanilla rice crisp bar (0.49 oz.). This meal was 94g and 360 calories for one serving. The beef sticks were well seasoned but tasted like any other beef sticks. The prize of this meal was the multigrain pita chips with the gourmet cheese spread. I really enjoyed that part of the meal. I also enjoyed the cashew and fruit medley mix. I love cashews. The mix also contains Greek yogurt chips, dried cranberries, and raisins, a really good combination. Last was the Nillamallocrispie vanilla rice crisp bar. I really enjoyed this too. It was a bit sweet though. It had my sweet tooth tap dancing. If I had to rank what was in this box, it would go like this: Little Bread Hen multigrain pita chips with Copper Cowbell Gourmet Creamy Classic Herb cheese spread; Sweet Perry Orchards Cashew Medley fruit & nut mix; beef sticks; and Nillamallocrispie vanilla rice crisp bar. I did get full with this meal. And again, there was a Sudoku puzzle inside of the box.
The Big Question
Would I do business with this company? YOU BET!!! I have already been on their website. I loved the meals and I know my family will too.
