As someone who loves to bake, real Vanilla extract is a common staple in my pantry. I won’t sacrifice flavor by getting imitation Vanilla, either. A little goes a long way! The ladies over at The Sweetest Bean sent me Vanilla Extract and Vanilla Bean Powder. This is a woman owned business and two life long friends (LOVE a long […]

Good natured plant based compostable packaging
Plant based…packaging? Alright here me out before you click away. I was skeptical too. The folks over at Good Natured sent me some cookies to try in their plant based packaging. Please refer to their FAQ but from what I read, this is a bioplastic, which is a plastic with plant based material. According to my package, the plastic is […]

Sarna external analgesic lotion
Ahh, summer. BBQs, sunshine, pool weather and…mosquitoes. From the fiery pits of H E double hockey sticks themselves ( my opinion lol) they seem to ruin almost every outdoor activity, leading you ITCHY! Sarna sent me a bottle of their itch relief external analgesic, made of camphor and menthol. Truthfully, it’s been sitting on my bathroom counter as (fortunately) I […]

Tate’s Bake Shop Gluten Free Lemon Cookies
Tate’s cookies hit home for me – I grew up in Long Island and remember seeing these on the shelves at the grocery store and being all proud – (not that I owned the company or anything). These uniquely crisp cookies were always super delicious. I often purchase the white chocolate macadamia ones. I saw this new flavor on the […]

Just Pure Foods Tomato Chips
My husband and I currently follow a rather strict diet – no seed oils, mostly carnivore, with fruits, some vegetables, and plenty of dairy/meat. A big issue with this diet is snacks- they are so hard to find as snacks that are out there are loaded with sugar or oils. Just Pure Foods sent me some Tomato chips to try. […]

TRANSFORMATION FACTORY SEA MOSS GEL
To be honest, I didn’t even know Sea Moss was edible prior to being offered to do a review! Per the company, the human body is made up of 102 essential minerals and sea moss has 92 of them- Pretty cool! The Sea moss is sourced from Jamaica. Unfortunately, the pineapple one exploded (in my fridge, much to my dismay, but […]

New Zealand Honey Co. Raw Manuka Honey
Honey is a staple in my diet, especially when I switched over to an animal based diet. Honey (and maple syrup) are my only added sugars I will eat (not including natural sugars in dairy or fruit). Manuka honey is a special honey, in that It comes from the honey bees that gather nectar from the Manuka tree. You may […]

Catalina Crunch Keto Friendly Fruity Cereal
Being a Type 1 Diabetic, I love a lower carbohydrate option. Generally, higher carbohydrate foods make my blood sugar spike and cereal is almost a guaranteed blood sugar spike. I was very excited when I saw this cereal on the shelves. I’ve been eyeing It for quite some time but the price tag had me avoiding It (10$ a bag). […]

Neuroreserve Relevate Core Dietary Nutrients for Lifelong brain health
“Will your brain-span last as long as your life span?” A quote from Neuroreserve, which certainly can prompt some anxiety to anyone who is worried about this. The people over at Neuroreserve report that “studies of the ‘oldest’ people with the healthiest brains show that people who follow diets like the Mediterranean and MIND maintain their cognitive ability and reduce […]

Birch Benders Keto Syrup – Maple
As a Type 1 Diabetic, certain foods are hard to eat without a huge spike in my blood sugars. Any sweetener tends to fall under that rule, and maple syrup is no exception. For years I would use sugar free syrup sweetened with Sucralose or Aspartame, however recently I have decided to cut this from my diet and opt for […]
