Food Should Taste Good™ Tortilla Chip Review

After a long day at several Doctor appointments we arrived home about dinner time to find a box that read "Food Should Taste Good" at the front door.

Opened it right away and found out that we had been CHIPPED! LOL

Inside were 4 bags of different flavored Tortilla Chips from

Food Should Taste Good!

 The kids opened all the bags to taste these 'healthy' chips.

We received White Cheddar, Olive, Guacamole, and Jalapeno.

 

We were all a bit skeptical,

usually healthy doesn't translate to tasty.

BUT these were so good!

And they are good for you!

Thicker than a regular tortilla chip,

one could call them crackers ~

or Chip Crackers or Cracker Chips,

Oh who cares, we call them delish!

Notable features include: All Natural, Certified Gluten Free, Certified Vegan, Certified Kosher, Cholesterol Free, No MSG,  No GMO, 0g Trans Fat, No Artificial Flavors or Preservatives and made with Whole Grains.

 The White Cheddar is made with White Cheddar Cheese, Brown Rice, Flax, Sesame and Sunflower Seeds and even Quinoa!

 This fun hexagon shaped chip is mild tasting.

I quickly saw dinner in the making!

I grabbed some cottage cheese from the fridge, added some mild herbs and we had a healthy dip that went well with the White Cheddar.

The round Olive is made with Green, Kalamata and Nicoise Olives, Garlic and Sea Salt. A slight flavor of green olives mixes with a hint of garlic to make these intriguing. Not overpowering but you are aware it's there. I paired these up with a garlic herb soft cheese I had in the fridge. YUM!

 

The Wedge shaped Jalapeno is made with Jalapeno Peppers and Crushed Red Pepper. I was nervous to try this one since I'm not fond of real spicy foods. But they weren't that bad, I could eat them plain and get just a slight after burn. Had a hint of a fresh garden tomato.  Grabbed the Salsa for these.

The Guacamole wedge is made with Cilantro, Avocado and Serrano Peppers. As soon as you place these in your mouth you taste the Cilantro then the Avocado slides in after. The kids liked these with the Salsa too.

Each of these healthy chips are fab in their own right, I just added different 'healthy' dips to make a dinner out of them. ;)

It was great timing, I was tired and didn't feel the least like making dinner.

The Holidays and Beyond - Shopping and Mobile Safety

Safer Holiday Shopping from our friends at All Clear ID    

Many of us are still in the midst of (or just beginning) our holiday shopping. Here are some tips that will help keep your identity as safe as possible during your holiday shopping and beyond.      

Save your receipts - The hustle and bustle of the season can make it difficult to keep track of all of the activity on your card statements. Be sure to save your receipts and use them to check your statements. Double check that all the amounts are accurate and charges are legitimate ones.

Beware of shopping apps - While shopping on your mobile phone is certainly convenient, it's not without risk. In many cases, mobile shopping apps gather more information from you than you intend to share, such as address, phone number, and even SSN. If you are going to use a shopping app, be sure to check the permissions before making purchases.

Be cautious when donating - If you like to do a little extra giving during the holiday season, watch for scams. Do some research to make sure the charity you are considering donating to is a legitimate one. The Better Business Bureau has a helpful tool for verifying the legitimacy of a charity: http://www.bbb.org/charity-reviews/national

5 Ways to Protect Your Home while Partying This Season

Safety Tips from AT&T

''It’s the most wonderful time of the year – we plan trips to visit loved ones and spend evenings toasting with our favorite friends.

The FBI says it’s also the time when we’ll see nearly 400,000 burglaries across the U.S.



So before you pack sweaters or pop bottles, let’s make a plan to keep your home safe.

Keep Your Eye on the Prize

Install an outdoor (left) and indoor (right) camera to help you keep track of what’s going on in and around your home. Helps you watch over all those Cyber Monday orders delivered to your doorstep…



Get Trigger Happy

Tech triggers, of course. Motion sensors (left) and glass break sensors (right) will set off alarms to alert police if anyone tries to drop in while you’re away.

 

Lock It Up

Lock your doors, close your blinds, and hide all valuables from the line of sight. Don’t tempt outsiders with your fancy TV or flashy accessories.



Fake a Staycation

Leave a lamp on, or get creative! Plug lights, a TV, or a stereo into Digital Life smartplugs that you can turn on and off throughout the day. Throw potential crime off with a little  smoke-and-mirrors effect.

Stay In Control

Ultimately, it’s all about staying in control of what happens in your home – even while you’re away. With AT&T Digital Life, you can set up your own custom dashboard to remotely monitor locks, windows, doors, electricity, even water leaks,  all from your mobile device.

Pure Body Naturals #ArganOil Review

I was pretty intrigued with this versatile Argan Oil

and anxious to try it out.

I use essential oils all the time but

wasn't familiar with this particular one.  

What exactly is Argan Oil?

Argan oil is pressed from the nut of the fruit of the Argan Tree, which is only found in Morocco. The Argan tree lives to be about 150 to 200 years old and does not start producing the fruit until it is 30 to 50 years old. Because the tree is found only in a limited area, the oil itself is quite rare.

Pure Body Naturals Argan oil has one ingredient - Pure Organic Argan Oil: Pure USDA & ECO Certified Organic Moroccan Argan Oil. There are no additives or fillers whatsoever! The oil is all natural, USDA certified organic, and unrefined imported directly from Morocco.  Pretty Impressive! 

Earlier I mentioned it was versatile, it seems to cover you head to toe,  keeping your body radiant by restoring hair, skin, and nails

Pure Body Naturals Organic Argan Oil is said to give you:
Revitalized, Repaired and Radiant Hair
Moisturized Hydrated Beautiful Skin
Strong and Healthy Nails
Treating dry and unhydrated skin, eczema
Reduce Symptoms of Aging like Wrinkles and Puffiness
An all-round Healthy Beautiful Attractive Glow

Each of us here seem to have our own issues so we were able to try the Argan oil out on a few different problems. It's been about 7 or so days since we've starting using it on a regular basis.

My daughter used the oil on her hair,

especially the ends where it's dry.

 It left her hair silky and vibrant, no more dry frizzy ends. 

My hands are probably my worst problem area.

It seems they are always in water,

and well, once your a Mom they seem to go to the bottom of the priory list. My nails seems to be getting brittle as I age but my cuticles are the worst, so dry they even crack. 

I'd love to have a manicure on a regular basis but it's not in the cards. I never seem to have enough time to give one to myself,

but once in a while I do snag some time.

My cuticles are so ugly, they just seem to ruin the look no matter what I do.

See :/  



So I was excited to try see if Argan Oil would help.

Just look at them now!

They never looked or felt so good!

Even after a day of chores my nails have a nice sheen to them.

The dry look is gone and Argan Oil is here to stay!

The backs of my hands look so much better also.



I also had a small dry patch on my left elbow. No matter what I gooped on it, it wouldn't go away! But it is now gone and my left is as smooth as my right elbow!!

Amazing! I've been dealing with that patch for years and it cleared up in 3 days.

It's done such a good job on that patch I've started putting some on the bottoms of my feet at night and wearing socks to bed. Yep, they are getting much smoother and feel so good.

I do have to mention the oil is light and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy feeling.

Not only does Pure Body Naturals Argan Oil get a

BIG 2 thumbs up

for tackling so many problem issues and winning, but  it also has a Lifetime 100% Money Back PROMISE if you are not satisfied in any way.   

Pure Body Naturals Pure Argan Oil is available at Amazon.

Mega Mesh Premium Magnetic Screen Door Review ~ #magneticscreendoor

Answer to my prayers!

 I have sliding glass doors that lead to the back yard. The sliding screen door that came with the house has always had an issue with the spline staying in place to hold the screen. Needless to say the screen has been flapping in the breeze!

Not very useful at keeping bugs out!

 

I had seen this product before and had wondered if it could be installed in my screen door frame, since the dogs have become used to walking through the flapping screen.

I was hoping to kill two birds with one stone.

So I was thrilled to be chosen to review

 The Mega Mesh Premium Magnetic Screen Door.

I was impressed with how easy it was to install,  a lot of products say that, but it's actually true with Easy Install, great company name btw ;)

  I was a little concerned about the Mega Mesh Premium Magnetic Screen Door since Mother Nature is blessing us with some good rain storms this year, but the rain hasn't bothered it a bit. We like to listen to the rain and now are able to open the sliding door and keep those clingy winter flies outside! 
When the sun peeks through we're able to enjoy the clean smelling fresh air too. 



 My pets can still go in and out as they please, we do have a dog door but they prefer the human door, of course!

 Tora

Katie wondering if it's ok to go through the new screen

 Yes, it is!

Nothing holds Bella back!

I love that I was able to adapt it to my sliding screen door. The screen itself is nice and solid, good weight, not flimsy like was in there before. I'm now able to keep the screen door closed at all times because I can walk right through it. No more sliding back and forth, it falling off the rollers and fighting to get it back on!

Being able to walk through with your hands full is a dream, especially taking food out to and from the BBQ!

Watching those strong magnets close still amazes me.

I think I could watch it close by itself all day! LOL
