Boozy Coffee Milkshake AND a Giveaway!

January 8, 2013 by

Attention coffee lovers! This recipe AND giveaway is for you!

I’m so excited to be sharing a great new product from my most favorite coffee company, Barnie’s CoffeeKitchen. I first experienced Barnie’s coffee while living in Florida and became immediately addicted! They provide a wide variety of coffees that is sure to satisfy all coffee lovers!

The great folks over at Barnie’s CoffeeKitchen were so kind to send me a package with their latest product, Pronto! brewsticks. I am seriously in love with these little brewsticks! Pronto! are individual packs of liquid concentrated coffee. I love that they are liquid as opposed to a powder. It makes mixing them up so much easier!

Pronto Product 2 mark

Pronto! is perfect for me because I am the only coffee drinker in my house and it’s so much easier to just use a packet of Pronto! instead of dragging out and dirtying my coffee pot. And you can use them for hot or iced coffee! I like keeping a few in my office for when I need an afternoon pick-me-up.

And now, you can enter for your chance to win a great package of Pronto! in a variety of flavors from Barnie’s CoffeeKitchen! Just scroll down to the bottom of this post to enter!

Pronto Product 1 mark

While I love just making plain hot or iced coffee with Pronto!, I wanted to find a new way to use them! And what better way than to mix them up in a boozy milkshake?!

Cascal Natural Soft Drink and a Giveaway!

July 13, 2012 by

I was recently contacted by the makers of Cascal who make a natural and fruity soft drink. You know I am always down to try new and natural products so I was really excited to do a review of these drinks! The peeps from Cascal were nice enough to send me this great package containing three of their drink flavors!

Here is some info from their website about these tasty soft drinks:
-Deliciously bubbly soda
-Fermented for a unique and sophisticated taste
-No sugars other than those from fruit juice
-Crafted with natural juices
-60-80 calories per can
-No caffeine
-Gluten free

These drinks are all natural and they contain no caffeine! I liked them because they do not contain added sugars, so they are not overly sweet! I got to try the Berry Cassis, Tropical Mango, and the Bright Citrus. These sodas taste more sophisticated than regular fruit sodas. They even tell you what food would pair well with each flavor! I would recommend serving them as a non-alcoholic drink option at your next party! You can find Cascal at Whole Foods, Earth Fare, Bristol Farms, and on Amazon.

I was most excited to try the Berry Cassis flavor which has hints of black currants, tangerine, and lemon. I liked this flavor, however, it was a little watery tasting to me. I think I was expecting a stronger flavor.

The Tropical Mango was my favorite. It has hints of mango, jasmine, and lime. Perhaps it is because I love all things mango! I wasn’t sure about the jasmine, but it totally works!

And finally, the Bright Citrus. My husband like this one best and I would say it was my second favorite! With hints of lemongrass, tangerine, and pineapple, it kind of tasted like a kicked up orange juice. It was very refreshing!

Now, it’s your turn to enter for your chance to win your own package of Cascal samples!

To enter:

1. Tell me your favorite drink (can be alcoholic or non-alcoholic).

For additional entries:

SlimKicker Fitness App and a Giveaway!

May 28, 2012 by

Happy Memorial Day, friends! Hope you all have some fun plans today filled with delicious munchies! We have a tropical storm headed our way! I think we’ll be doing some indoor grilling today!

Today, I’m excited to tell you about a fun, new fitness app that I recently discovered called SlimKicker!

When it comes to dieting, I find that I usually have the best results when I keep track of what and how much I eat. There’s a lot of sites and apps that track your food and exercise these days. While SlimKicker can track both food and exercise, one of my favorite things about the app is that they make getting healthy a game! We all have certain challenges when it comes to dieting and exercise. For example, are you a soda addict? Then you can sign up for the ‘replace soda’ challenge! You can also chat with other folks who are also completing the same challenge for support. When you complete a challenge, you earn points that you are encouraged to put towards rewarding yourself. Maybe get that hot pair of shoes you have been yearning for or go pamper yourself at the spa for a day! Some of the challenges on SlimKicker can also earn you some great prizes! If you have an iPhone, you can download the App. If not, you can also access the site online.

If nutrition is not where you struggle with meeting your health goals, they also have challenges for willpower, fitness, and even emotional challenges like relieving stress and getting more sleep.

I was recently contacted by the lovely folks at SlimKicker and they are challenging YOU to share your own ideas for a challenge! The person with the best challenge idea is going to receive this awesome Ozeri digital food scale!

In order to enter this giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment sharing your idea for a health challenge! For example, no dessert for a week. Or 50 sit ups a day for one week.

If you want to see some examples of other challenges on SlimKicker, click here. In order to win this giveaway, you must come up with a new challenge idea that is not already listed on their site.

- This giveaway will be open until next Sunday, June 2nd at 11:59pm EST.
- This giveaway is open to US residents only.
- The winner will be chosen by the folks at SlimKicker.
