Unreal: Candy Unjunked

I recieved a coupon for a free Unreal candy bar at bzzagent.com. The other two I bought with my own money.

Unreal candy has a mission to take the candy we known and love and unjunk them (removing hydrogenated oils, corn syrup, artificial colors, flavors, and preservatives). They are competitively priced with the rest of the candy section.

MY REVIEW: 
It took so long for me to find this candy! I visited several Walgreens and CVSs that did not have it in stock. I finally found it at a CVS, but the black packaging kind of hides it in the sea of colorful candy wrappers. They had them on the very last row of candy as well. Hopefully it becomes easier to find in the future, because I really like the idea of unjunking food!

I bought all three of the smaller sized bars they had:
The MandM Style (UN41) - I was a bit surprised when I saw the candy colors. They were kind of gross looking. It doesn't really bother me, but I think kids might have a problem with it. These tasted good, but they were not my favorite.
The Peanut MandM Style (UN54)- I liked these a lot. I think the strong peanut flavor helps cover up the chocolate flavor. Not that the chocolate flavor is bad, it just is different than the artificial stuff we are all used to!
The Reese's Style (UN77)- I really liked these! The peanut butter tasted fresh and not artificial. They taste like the homemade ones my mom used to make.

Overall, I enjoyed this candy. I know it is not a health food, but if I am going to eat candy it might as well be one without all the artificial stuff in it! One bad thing about this candy is you can't help but compare it to the "originals" since they look and taste very similar.

 I really want to try the snickers version, I hope I am able to find it eventually!

Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil

My husband and I have been trying to eat healthy and I am always eager to try new ingredients. I received a product sample of Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil  from BzzAgent and immediately started adding it to my diet! 

Here are some facts about Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil:

• Is high in monounsaturated fats (also known as "good fat")
• Contains no trans fat or cholesterol
• Contains no sugar, salt, or gluten
• Can help reduce the risk of heart disease, as well as help control blood pressure and blood sugar levels

My experience with Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil:

Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil is high in monounsaturated fats (also known as "good fat"), contains no trans fat or cholesterol, contains no sugar, salt, or gluten and can help reduce the risk of heart disease, as well as help control blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Because of all that, I was really excited to add it to my diet!

The taste of Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil is subtle, but it really enhances the flavor of your food. It is a lot lighter than butter and I feel better after eating a meal with it. What I found especially helpful was the substitution chart provided by Filippo Berio for converting recipes with butter or margarine to olive oil. Because of that chart, I have slowly replaced butter in my diet.

Filippo Berio provides many recipes on their websites. It is very helpful when a company provides resources like this. Because I received Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil, I have been using it mostly for marinades and salad dressings.

I love that Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil is in a glass bottle. Not only do I get to use their great olive oil, but I get a reusable bottle!

I had not considered buying Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil before this campaign, because I was not familiar with the brand. I will definitely be adding it to my shopping list now.

Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition: My Review

I have coarse, frizzy hair and have been through countless hair care products in the past. I received a product sample of Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition from BzzAgent and was anxious to try it, but not hopeful. I was suprised when it worked the best for my hair so far. 


Here are some facts about Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition:

• Fight frizz and keep hair sleek for three days straight, even in 97% humidity
• Infused with Fortified Fruit Science and ultra-smoothing Argan oil from Morocco to deliver long-lasting shine and hair that's 10x smoother
• Packed with ultra-rich and smoothing conditioners that rinse clean — we dare you to find something that treats your demanding, frizzy hair better!
• Part of a larger Sleek & Shine line that includes Intensely Smooth Leave-In Conditioning Cream, best seller Anti-Frizz Serum and Frizz Defeat Deep Conditioner Treatment
• Have a suggested retail price of $3.99 (13 oz.) and $6.99 (25.4 oz.)
• Available at grocery stores, drug stores and mass retailers like Target and Wal-Mart

My experience with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition:
It smells fantastic and numerous people asked me what I used in my hair because of the smell and noticeable texture change. The shampoo and conditioner are easy to wash out, unlike some other shampoos for dry hair. My hair became very silky to the touch upon first use. I am so glad I got this right before the humidity got bad. It is so nice not to walk outside and feel like a complete mess, because of unmanageable hair.! I will continue to purchase this shampoo and conditioner as long as it is available.

I have too many accounts. :(
