Game Changing Snacks With Blue Diamond Almonds #GameChangingSnacks



I have my favorite game changing snacks all ready for my snowy weekend of football! I love to have a trail mix ready for any snack attacks in the afternoon, because I like to snack when I watch the game! 



Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds are perfect for a great trail mix. They add the crunchy, smokey almond taste that mixes well with the peanuts, cashews, raisins, chocolate candy pieces and chocolate covered caramel pieces. Yum!  I have a bit of a sweet tooth, can you tell? I think I will be adding some popcorn to the mix, too. I like to make the popcorn last so it is warm when I mix it with the candies.


Another awesome game changing snack idea is the Blue Diamond Almonds BOLD Wasabi & Soy Sauce flavored almonds served with cheddar cheese slices. They are a little too BOLD for me right out of the bowl, I need a little cheese to mix with their flavors. I am sure my friends and family will love them.

For more Game Changing Snacks check out their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!


Disclaimer: I received a 6oz can of Blue Diamond Smokehouse Almonds and a 6oz can of Blue Diamond Bold Wasabi & Soy Sauce Almonds to try for free from the Blue Diamond Tastemakers. All opinions expressed here are mine.

Who Loves Chocolate? Buy 1 lb Get 1 lb FREE Of Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates


 Time was when Marie Cavanaugh spent hours in her South Dakota farmhouse each Christmas season making pecan rolls and homemade chocolates for holiday gifting.

 "It started when my aunt sent her pecan-rolls recipe," Mrs. Cavanaugh recalled. "I gave the recipe my own touch and started making the yummy specialties. Then I began dipping chocolates. Our friends and neighbors loved these treats, encouraging me to start a candy business. Finally, I decided it might be a good idea.'"

 Her husband George and children Carla, Lorraine, Calvin, Colene and Genise rallied, helping Mrs. Cavanaugh fill demands for her homemade sweets.

 ...In 1972, the family moved to Utah, leaving good friends and their beloved cattle ranch.

 "It was a difficult decision, especially for George," Mrs. Cavanaugh said. "He was excited about making our new venture, which we chose to call Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies, a great success. We felt Utah was blessed with good chocolates and that we would enjoy - and could compete with - those who pride themselves on making excellent chocolates."

 Millions of pounds of chocolates later, Mrs. Cavanaugh's candies have earned a reputation for unquestionable excellence.... Ask chocolate aficionados. They will direct those seeking the best chocolates to the popular Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies.

InstaNatural Vitamin C Facial Toner #review



 I recently got to try a pore tightening Vitamin C Facial Toner that is to renew, hydrate and restore my skin. I have always stayed away from toners in the past, because the ones that I have tried tended to make my skin red and itchy. I was a little nervous trying it out at first. I kept an open mind and keep reading to see what I thought of it! 

Vitamin C Facial Toner Description by InstaNatural: 

 Our Vitamin C Facial Toner is the perfect way to tone and hydrate your skin while still delivering the powerful benefits of Vitamin C and other anti-aging elements. First, the sulfur in each spray will drive deep down to penetrate your skin and increase elasticity to maximize results. At the same time, the Witch Hazel present in the toner will gently purify your skin and pores, even helping to reduce their size and appearance. Simultaneously, Vitamin C renews and strengthens the skin to reverse the signs of aging and help prevent future damage. The Vitamin C Facial Toner is a great all-in-one hydrator that preps your skin to absorb serums and moisturizers more efficiently and effectively and is the perfect staple to add to your beauty regimen.

Now for my thought on Vitamin C Facial Toner by InstaNatural:

 It is easy to use this facial toner just spray on your face and neck areas then wipe with a cotton ball. If you are nervous about any facial product test it on a small part of your skin first. I started off spraying the toner onto a cotton ball and then wiped that onto my skin. Once I was sure that it wasn't irritating my facial skin, about 2 days of using it, I then spayed it onto my skin with no problems. I didn't have any redness or itching with using the Vitamin C Toner at all. 
I really like how my skin looks after using this toner for several weeks now. I use it as a primer for under my make-up. It helps my skin look hydrated and my skin doesn't look greasy or shiny when I use it. It has a light citrus scent that helped getting ready in the morning a lot more fun.

While those were freezing, I packed a couple with some great snacks: almonds, peanut butter candy pieces, little marshmallows, toasted coconut pieces and my favorite dry cereal. 
 I love the bright, fun colors of the ice pop molds. I can easily find the one that I want after I put them in my tote bag. They are easy to use, easy to clean and fit nice in little hands at snack time or when we are on the go. The lids fit good, I didn't have any spills or leaks when I used them.

Putty By Rusk #Review




 I am always looking for a great hair product to try, so I was very excited when I got to try Putty by Rusk. 

 This is the first time that I have used a hair putty for styling and hold. I started out using just a little bit of the Putty by Rusk on my hair the first time I used it. I applied the putty on my damp hair starting a little ways down from the roots. My hair tends to get greasy looking if I use products at my roots. I worked it through my hair down to the ends and I scrunched my hair then I let it air-dry. It didn't make my hair crunchy like other products have in the past. My hair was texturized and defined after using the Putty by Rusk. You can also use the putty on dry hair to give it added thickness and texture that doesn't flake off. It defines your hair with a matte finish. 


This is a high quality hair putty that defines and texturizes hair with a matte finish while it adds thickness and long lasting flexible hold throughout the day. I will keep using this hair putty to help style and control my hair. 

You can find Putty by Rusk here at BeautyCare Choices!

They gripped the hairs tight, which helped to get the job done quickly. The slanted tips work great for getting the tiny hairs that are growing in, without getting other hairs that I want to keep. I love that!

Nevo Invisible Control Manipulator Mist By Pravana #Review



I recently got to try Nevo Invisible Control Manipulaor Mist by Pravana. I was happy to give it a try on my frizzy hair. I am always looking for hair styling products that can help me get out the door in the morning as fast as possible. I am not a morning person! 

Product Description by Pravana:

This is a heat-protecting styling product with medium control. Enriched with drops of the amazon and soy protein, it provides your hair with control and support. 

 A few things I love about Nevo Invisible Control Manipulator Mist:
  • No sulfates 
  • No phthalates 
  • Gluten Free 
  • Paraben free
  • 100% vegan.
  • No animal testing

It is very easy to use this control manipulator mist just apply to damp hair, scrunch hair and let air-dry for textured, beach waves. If you are going to blow dry and use straighteners or curling irons on your hair you can use this first to protect and control your style.

I used it to get beach waves and I love it! My hair tends to get frizzy and flyaway as the day goes on, but, that wasn't a problem when I used the Nevo Invisible Control Manipulator Mist! I sprayed the mist on my damp hair, scrunched up my hair and let it air-dry. When it was dry I flipped my hair around and it fell into place nicely. My hair wasn't crunchy or sticky to the touch. I will definitely keep using this control manipulator mist as a part of my hair styling morning routine.
