* I received a custom VoxBox for free from Influenster and Country Crock . This product was given to me to test and review. All opinions are my own unless otherwise noted! When you think of butter, what comes to mind? For me, it's Country Crock! Why? The answer is simple, because it reminds me of simpler times, baking in the kitchen with my grandma. Also, every time you would come over to her home and open her refrigerator for whatever reason, you would see butter containers all over. Inside these containers you wouldn't know if you were going to find leftovers or butter. It was something that always made me laugh and another sweet memory of grandma.  Now, back in the day, I don't remember if there was just one size that the butter came in or not. I don't even remember the flavor it had. It has been a very long time since I have had Country Crock. What I do remember about it is the memories that were made in the kitchen with grandma and hopefully I will be ab...

* Toosum reached out to me on Twitter and asked if I would be interested in sampling their snack bars. Although the products were free to me, my opinions are honest and all my own!* I am fairly new to the healthier eating club. I have tried a few diets/lifestyle adjustments and have seen results here and there with what I was trying to achieve. As far as snacks, I don't know as much.

I was happy to see things that I am already familiar with, like chia seeds and rolled oats. This made me feel better about eating the bars that I was testing and reviewing. My conc...

*I was given a pair of NatraCure   Cold/Heat Therapy Socks to test and review for free. All opinions are my own!* NatraCure reached out to me on Twitter to test and review a product of my choice that was on their list. This was very new and different to me as I normally seek out the companies I would like to review for and also have joined sites that help me find brands that already are looking for people like me. Well, to say the least, I was thrilled to try something new, as I always am. Upon receiving the product of my choosing, (Cold/Heat Therapy Socks) I examined them carefully. A gel pack was inserted in the front/top and another was placed inside the back where your foot would rest. These can be easily pulled out and put back in, whenever you need them. I then decided to read the inserts which told me the following: After checking out the gel packs, (front and back) I felt the inside of the socks, and tried them on. They were very soft and comfortable, a...
