Are you looking for a cute treat to send to school with your little goblin this Halloween?  Maybe you want some Halloween cookies for your upcoming spooky party.  Me, I would just buy them because they’re cute and oh so tasty.

 Tell me you can’t smile when you look at them.  These are generous sized sugar cookies with frosting.  I’ve grown up with Smiley Cookies my whole like.  They originated in Eat n’ Park restaurants.  I’ve always love these adorable cookies.  Believe me when I say you’ll crave them. They’re just a sugar cookie but they are the perfect consistency.  In my opinion they’re not too sweet and not too bland.

You could really perk up someone’s day with a Halloween gift basket full of these happy little guys.

Before you buy them though head over facebook.  You can get a 20% off coupon just for liking Smiley Cookies’ facebook page.

So get your coupon and head over and get your cute little Halloween Party snack in time for your event.

McClyns products from Union Springs Wellness is the only company in the world that provides 360 degress of germ protection from 3 different modes of germ transmission. That would be:

1. Direct exposure to an infected person
2. Contact with dirty surfaces
3. Consumption of contaminated food

Did you know that according to CDC estimates that in 2011 roughly 1 in 6 Americans will get sick, 128,000 will be hospitalized, and 3,000 will die from foodborne diseases?

It seems to me that at least once or twice a year there’s some kind of produce or meat scare in the news. Right now it’s the Listeria on some lettuce.   That’s why, among many other products, McClyns offers the McClyns Food Wash spray bottle.

MyClyns Food Wash is 100% natural and removes 98% more chemicals, wax, and contaminates than water alone.  You can watch a video demonstration of MyClyns Food Wash and learn more about the company here: http://youtu.be/jjWQe1-oDl4

My toddler loves his fresh fruit.  I have always rinsed the fruit with water before serving but it made me feel a little better serving his fruit with the MyClyns food wash.  You spray your produce, rub it for a 1 minute then rinse it with water before serving.

My son certainly enjoys his fresh fruit and I had a little more comfort knowing that I did my part to make sure his fresh fruit was safe for him.

The spray is clear and had no noticable scent to it.  My son ate all his strawberries I gave him so it didn’t make anything taste different. I tried them myself and didn’t notice anything either.  The MyClyns food wash comes in a 12 oz. and 32 oz. size.

MyClyns offers lots of different products from laundry, floor wipes, fabric refreshers, and much more.  You can even earn free MyClyns products by hosting a Union Springs Wellness Demonstration.  Or become a MyClyns team member.  You can find more info about hosting a demonstration or becoming part of their team here: http://unionspringswellness.com/joinOurTeam.aspx

Not only is tea an enjoyable drink for many, it has several benefits for your body. Did you know that Green Tea has antiviral and antibacterial properties. The polyphenol, catechin, in tea are strong antioxidants. It’s referred to as EGCG. There is research that says cetachins may help prevent cancer along with other ailments.

There is also a correlation between Green Tea and cardio health and blood circulation, maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, improvement in brain function, aid in healthy weight maintenance, maintain good oral health, and gives the immune system a boost.

Drinking tea for health dates back to early Buddhist texts and Chinese medicine as healing herbs.

TEAS’ TEA describes their tea as “premium tea”.  They state that their tea is authentically brewed, GMO free, and all natural with natural cane sugar. No artificial flavoring.

Did you know that TEAS’ TEA was selected by Whole Foods Market Wellness Club?  Whole Foods Market selects products that are good for your health to make it easier for Whole Food Market Shoppers to find the products that are healthier.  You can click on the link in this paragraph to read more about it.

TEAS’ TEA offers their products in 3 categories:
1.  Unsweetened
2. Low Calorie (lightly sweetened)
3.  Classic Sweetened

I had the opportunity to try 2 of TEAS’ TEA products.  Lightly Sweetened Mango Oolong Tea and the Unsweetened Jasmine Green Tea.

I have to admit.  I’m not a tea drinker normally.  I do enjoy it on occasion.  I like cold teas more than hot teas.   I first tried the Unsweetened Jasmine Green Tea.  The aroma from the bottle when I opened it was a lovely, light, floral-like scent.  I poured some in a glass over ice.  I’m not used to drinking unsweetened tea but it did have a nice flavor too it.  A little perfumish but light.  I didn’t mind finishing my glass at all.  In my opinion though, if you’re not much a tea drinker I’d try one of the sweetened varieties.  If you enjoy your tea this would be a wonderful choice for you.  All of my boys wanted to taste as well.  They didn’t care for this one.

Looking at the nutrition facts on the label it says it has ZERO calories.  I was shocked by that.  180% of vitamin C too.

Next was the Lightly Sweetened Mango Oolong Tea. This one was much more my speed.  I don’t care for really sweet tea.  This had a refreshing taste.  Just a kiss of Mango flavor.  The tea was light and not overpowering.  The light sweetness made this a very pleasant drink for me.  My 7 yr old  and toddler liked this one as well. This one only has 40 calories per serving.

Have you ever tried Jarritos Mexican sodas? I had seen them once or twice in store and didn’t pick them up. I had the opportunity to try them and now I wish more stores around me sold them.

Jarritos Mexian sodas are made of 100% natural sugar. They come in 11 tasty traditional Mexican flavors that include: Tamarind, Mandarin, Fruit Punch, Jamaica, Lime Toronja, Guava, Pineapple, Strawberry, Mango, and Mexican Cola.

Just look how bright and colorful that is.  This was such a treat to be able to try these soda.  I received 1 of each of the 11 flavors.  No kidding they were all gone in 2 days!  I didn’t drink them all but I tried to steal a sip off of everyones as they opened it so I could personally try as many flavors as I could.  I didn’t catch all of them.  The ones I tried though were so good. It’s really hard to pick a favorite.  I loved the Guava because it different and delicious flavor.  (It also helped that it was a pinkish soda, I love pink).  My oldest son loved the Pineapple.  My 7 yr old liked the Strawberry flavor.  My toddler wanted all of them.  I did let him try some.  I’d give him about half in a cup and i’d drink the rest.  The lime was very refreshing.  My husband’s favorite was the Fruit Punch.

Just a tip though, the metal caps are not twist off caps.  If you’re going to grab one at the store make sure you have a bottle opener.

Here’s my cutie hubby enjoying his Jarrito with the t-shirt we received that fit him nicely.

Jarritos has lot of fun things going on on their sites too.  You should stop by and like Jarritos facebook page. Right now they have a contest going on using the “Jarritos Nation” contest app.  Follow clues on a daily scavenger hunt to win prizes like free soda, gift cards, t-shirts, and more.  You can even earn free Club Jarritos points, which brings me to the next fun thing they have going on.
