Wings of Nature Bars: Review& Giveaway {CLOSED}

My husband is a grad school student and he is always on the go. It's important for us to make sure that he always carries around healthy, but at the same time, yummy snacks.

No refined sugar added, trans fat free, gluten free

That's where Wings of Nature™ by Fresh Harvest Products comes in!

I was sent 3 bars to try out:
Cranberry Crunch, Almond Raisin and Espresso Coffee.

 My husband's favorite was the Espresso Coffee bar. It had a deep rich roasted coffee flavor combined with nutty goodness.  

Both the Cranberry Crunch and Almond Raisin were excellent! I loved the combination of all the seeds and nuts with the fruit. I'm not big on bars because I tend to find them too on the sweet side, but these bars had the right amount of sweetness in them.

Any of these three bars would make for a smart, sweet & savory, good wholesome snack on the go.

Ingredients  

{almond raisin bar}

Sesame Seeds, rasins, agave syrup, sunflower seeds, almonds, rice syrup, crisp brown rice, pumpkin seeds

I love that anyone that reads the label will be able to recognize all of the ingredients.  Everything is certified organic, so you know no yucky pesticides and chemicals have come in contact with the used ingredients.

Just in Time for Valentine's Day- Just Paper Roses: Review & Giveaway {CLOSED}

Valentine's Day is less than a month away! Every year it always gets a bit more difficult to find the ideal Valentine's Day gift. The first thing that comes to mind is chocolates and flowers, but after awhile you find yourself without the chocolates or flowers.

How about doing things differently this year and perhaps give a gift that will last always!

JustPaperRoses specializes in custom made flowers for all occasions as well as offering a variety of unique Valentine's Day gifts.

One of the unique gifts that you can get at JustPaperRoses is this adorable Valentine's Day toilet paper with the message I Love You From Top To Bottom.  The roll looks so cute and the paper is 2-ply and is soft against your skin.  It comes wrapped in plastic and on top of that it is wrapped with green tissue paper and it comes with a cute tag. This would be a unique gift for a loved one or for your own use.  If your the type of person who likes to decorate the house for every major holiday then this toilet paper would be a definite hit.  Unfortunately this year I won't be able to celebrate Valentine's Day with the hubby because I will be traveling so before I leave I'm going to set this up so he can think about me even when he is in the bathroom.

 I've been told that these Valentine Day edition rolls of toilet paper go fast, so make sure you get yours!

Here is just a sample of some of the other unique Valentine's Day gifts that JustPaperRoses has to offer.

Your selection of 1, 3 or 13 Paper Stem Roses {one stem can be personalized}

For the baseball fan in your life.  Official League Rawlings® baseball, imprinted with "You Hit A Home Run With Me !", and cradled on a wood display base.

Any of these items would make for unique, special and thoughtful gifts!

BUY IT!
