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.

Petaluma and Co Skinion Nopal Cactus Gel Cream

I received Petaluma and Co Skinion Nopal Cactus Gel Cream free in exchange for my honest review from 08liter.com. To be honest I was pretty confused as to what this is for. The packaging is all in korean and there isn't much information on the internet about it. From what I could piece together, this can be used similar to aloe. It can soothe burned or overheated skin. It can be used as an all over moisturizer. It can even be used on your face to lock in moisture. I  used it on my face after I masked. It left a weird, tight feeling on my hands but my face looks and feels firm and supple. My final thoughts on this product is that there really needs to be more information on this product, especially in english. I enjoyed the way I used the product but I wish I knew more about it.

Real Solution Tencel Sheet Mask

I received a Real Solution Tencel Sheet Mask by MISSHA free for review from 08liter.com. I received the Propolis mask. This is the vitalizing mask and uses a hydro gel. When I opened the package, there was a very faint scent. It was just a clean smell similar to aloe. The mask, when I pulled it out, was very thick with gel and difficult to open as it was a bit slippery. One  side of the mask did have more gel than the other so I put the more gelatinous side on my face. The fit was quite nice. The mask did move a little bit during my twenty minute relaxation time. Once I removed the mask, there was still quite a bit of gel on my face left. The instructions were to gently pat until absorbed. I patted for a loooong time. It takes a while for this stuff to absorb. When all is said and done, my face feels absolutely fabulous!! I'm sitting here typing this and trying so hard to resist just feeling how soft my face is. It's not tacky or squeaky, just soft and supple. I love this mask!!

Magic Straight Hair Shampoo for Men

I received from 08liter.com free for review this Hair Mother Cellar Magic Straight Shampoo for men. I was so excited because as you can see, my boyfriend has absolutely beautiful hair. He loves everything about this product. The smell reminds us of a citrus/mint/bamboo combo. After just a few uses, his hair is shinier and more manageable. I do recommend this product.#HAMOCELL #MagicStraightShampooForMen #TheHairMotherCellar #ShampooForMen #ForCurlyHair #08L

International Delight One Touch Latte Review

I received a coupon for a full sized International Delight One Touch Latte free for review from Crowdtap. None of the stores in my small town carried this product but I was able to snag one in my favorite flavor, Caramel, at the Wal-Mart in the next town over. This creamer was the neatest stuff! After you brew your coffee, you leave a bit of room in your cup and then you squirt the creamer into your cup and it foams up on the top creating a coffeehouse style latte. It's really yummy too!! I like my coffee a little sweeter so I did add another International Delight creamer to my cup for some more sweetness but over all I was absolutely delighted!

 Being able to make the perfect cup of coffee at home is always so much better than running to the local coffee shop. By being able to make my own latte at home, I have more time to spend with my loved ones, more time to get things done at home, more time to enjoy my coffee while it is fresh, and I save a lot of money. Let's admit it, those coffee shops can get pretty expensive. So, yeah, ya'll should certainly go try out the International Delight One Touch Latte creamers

!! They are wonderful!!!

Dunkin Donuts Creamer Review

I received a coupon for a full sized bottle of Dunkin Donuts International Delight free for review from Crowdtap. The flavors were limited at my small town grocery store. I really wanted the caramel flavor but since we didn't have that flavor available, I chose vanilla. This creamer is delicious. It is creamy and very flavorful. It is certainly thicker/creamier than other creamers I have come across. I truly enjoy it. Being able to make the perfect cup of coffee at home is always so much better than running to the local coffee shop. By being able to #MakeItPerfect at home, I have more time to spend with my loved ones, more time to get things done at home, more time to enjoy my coffee while it is fresh, and I save a lot of money. Let's admit it, those coffee shops can get pretty expensive. So, yeah, ya'll should certainly go try out the Dunkin Donuts creamers!! They are wonderful!!!

SoSakuri Surprise Box

A few weeks ago, I entered a Freebie Friday giveaway on Instagram to win a Mystery Box. This giveaway was held by sosakuri. I was super excited to find out the next day that I had won! A short time later, the mail lady left the package in my mail box. Well, she stuffed it in there. We had to cut the box open while it was in the mailbox and then pull everything out and then wrestle the box out. My mail lady is something else lol. 

I was so shocked to find that the surprise box was filled with jewelry. And it had gorgeous jewelry in it! Each piece feels very well made and of great quality. Yall go visit her at SoSakuri.com. She can also be found on Instagram under sosakuri.

Orange Date Cake Tea

About a week ago I won a giveaway held by Lauren (@lbd_steepedtea on Instagram) for an infuser and a bag of tea. I was over the moon as I had won a sample of tea from her before in the flavor Citrus Mint Sangria, and it was delicious, so I was super excited to get to try another of Steeped Tea's teas. She asked me if there was a particular flavor I wanted to try and I told her to surprise me. She surprised me in the best of ways. She sent me a Fruit Tea called Orange Date Cake. It has dates, cardamon, orange bits, currants and other yumminess in it.

Upon sipping my first cup of tea, which I brewed hot, I certainly noticed the orange. A rush of cinnamon came in after I finished my sip. It was so good! I am now drinking a second cup that I also brewed hot and I added a vanilla creamer to. It is Vanilla Orange creamy goodness!! I want to brew some for an iced tea as well and add some oranges to. That would be so refreshing. Lauren picked a perfect flavor! I am excited to soon order some Apple Mango Sangria tea and there are so many other yummy sounding flavors!! Steeped Tea is a tea addicts dream!!!

Please get in contact with Lauren for more information about Steeped Tea. She can be reached at the above Instagram or on Facebook: Lauren's ParTEA - Happiness one STEEP at a time! She has many clever and yummy ways to use teas such as in dips and cookies. Apparently tea is not just for drinking!!
