Squeaky Pops

 I received Squeaky Pops to review – all thoughts and opinions are my own.
As someone who has a sit down job, I typically find myself wanting to snack on anything and everything while I am at work. Sure I bring apples, string cheese or nuts with me so I can keep it healthy, but sometimes I just want chips. I recently had the opportunity to try Squeaky Pops. Squeaky Pops are chickpea chips that are non-gmo, gluten free and made with real ingredients. Did I mention they are less than 90 calories per single serve bag, oh and they’re AMAZING. Honestly I was skeptical about apple cinnamon chickpea chips, but to my surprise they actually taste like apple cinnamon and have no chickpea flavor to them at all, which is nice. Not only are these chips great for adults they’re healthy enough for children as well. You can find Squeaky Pops on their website or Amazon as a pack of 12. Squeaky Pops are not sold in any grocery stores. If you are looking for a snack for you or your children I highly recommend the Apple Cinnamon Squeaky Pops – I take them on road trips with me, and you can always find them in my gym bag. What’s your favorite healthy snack?

Donut Sundae

 

Can you believe it’s already November, and we fell back an hour? Yikes, I can’t either. With winter right around the corner I am trying to savor what is left of fall color and trips to the cider mill. This weekend I was at Yates Cider Mill (my favorite, I highly recommend going if you’ve never been before), and saw that they have donut sundaes. It was 9 a.m., and I wasn’t about to start my day with ice cream, so I didn’t get it. That evening I was at my parents watching Hallmark Christmas movies, and was craving something sweet so I decided to make us our own donut sundaes. We used a cinnamon and sugar donut from Yates, topped it with Hudsonville Creamery Blend Vanilla ice cream, a drizzle of Sanders caramel, dash of cinnamon and a cinnamon stick for decoration. The best part, all of the products were made in Michigan! 

Zoya Z-WIDE Brush

Zoya listens to what customers want, and recently asked consumers if they preferred the Classic Zoya Professional brush or if they’d rather have a wide brush. The research surprised them as Zoya fans were split 50/50. Instead of changing brushes, they decided to make the Z-WIDE Brush. The Z-WIDE Brush is available for purchase as a separate item for anyone who prefers a wide fan brush.

Head over to www.zoya.com to purchase this new brush. If you polish your nails as much as I do you’ll want to get in on this deal… try 12 new brushes for just $12 plus FREE shipping when you use the code: ZBRUSH.

When Your Bestie Turns 30

 

My bestie turned 30 on Friday, and hosted the chicest “Cheers to Beers and 30 Years” party. From a sequin backdrop photo area, to a nostalgic candy bar she nailed her 30th birthday and I had to share all the adorable details with you!
