Uncle Ben's new Flavor Infusions rice

Influenster sent me a bag of the Uncle Ben's Flavor Infusions Chicken & Herb Flavored Infused Dry Rice for free to try out and review. I first must mention that I am a fan of delicious rice, so it has to be pretty good to to rank high up. This rice has ranked in my top 5! First of all the packaging is wonderful. You can scoop out just the amount of rice that you want and then you can reseal the package. Instructions, Nutrition Facts, and a recipe are listed conveniently on the back. Warning* this product is not gluten free. I like the fact that the flavors are infused within the dry rice itself vs. having to use an additional seasoning packet. Another wonderful thing about this product is that it only has to simmer for about 10 minutes vs. the 20 minutes standard rice has to simmer. It's a very easy product to cook and the kitchen smells delightful as it's cooking. As far as the taste goes, it is delicious. It's not overwhelmingly flavorful, but you certainly get the wonderful chicken & herb flavor with every bite. I served mine tonight with some chicken breast and corn. Overall, I think this Uncle Ben's Flavor Infusions rice is excellent and I will certainly be repurchasing this flavor as well as try the additional flavors offered.

Surprise Box from Forever Equal Hobbies

Today was a day of Happy Mail!!! One of my packages I received was a big box from Yaarii at Forever Equal Hobbies. Forever Equal Hobbies is a cool Facebook page where we share DIY's, talk about our sugar gliders and other furry babies, and some amazing vendors have some of the neatest products for sale. Yaarii posted an invite contest and the prize was one of her My Pet and I Care boxes. The My Pet and I Care box can be found Here at the Forever Equal Hobbies Shop. You get to pick your box size, Pet type, and your Pet gender. My daughter wants one of the Suggie Care Boxes. Here are some photos of my box for a boy dog and then I encourage ya'll to click on my YouTube video and enjoy the unboxing with me. Yaarii really made my box personalized and it really made me feel special. I loved the little details she put into the box like the decorated box flaps and the personalized card. It was altogether a nice treat and wonderful happy mail. I highly recommend you check out here products and place an order!! P.S. I'm eating the chocolate as I write this blog and edit the video :-) P.P.S. The nail polish does smell like pineapples when it dries :-D

My table was covered with Awesome Treats!!!

March Ipsy Glam Bag

Today was the best day ever!! I just got the highly anticipated hot pink envelope in the mail!! For those of you not in the know, the hot pink envelope refers to the mailer envelope that Ipsy sends their monthly Glam Bags out in. Ipsy is a monthly beauty subscription. For only $10 a month, subscribers will receive 4-5 deluxe sample sized and full sized beauty products and a Glam Bag. Not everyone gets the same thing either. When you sign up for Ipsy, you let Ipsy know your preferences of what you would like in your glam bag. It's so personalized!! 

This was my first month and I was so impressed. I did check out the spoilers before my bag arrived so I knew I was going to be very happy before my bag even got here. Let's take a look at what I received.

e.l.f. love

So I was relaxing yesterday morning when all of a sudden I get a knock at the front door. It was the mail lady with a package. I love when I get packages but I wasn't expecting anything so I was perplexed. To my surprise the package was from Elf Cosmetics. I thought long and hard about whether or not I had placed another order. I was sure I hadn't. I asked my boyfriend if he had ordered me something. He said nope. I opened the box and inside was a jar of e.l.f.'s Illuminating Eye Cream and the sweetest note apologizing for how long my last order took to get to me. This gift from e.l.f. truly made me feel like a valued customer. I have another order planned to make soon for some skin care products. I love the eye cream and used up all of the sample I was sent previously. I can't wait to try more of the skin care line. I love all the products I have received from e.l.f. so far and the customer service is certainly extraordinary!! Thank you so much +e.l.f. Cosmetics !!!
