Tasty Thursdays: Bare Fruit Snacks

For this week's Tasty Thursdays, I've been sent these delicious Bare Fruit Snacks - Cinnamon Apple Chips -- to review. They're all 100% organic, low in calorie, gluten & dairy free, fat free, and high in fiber. There isn't any added sugar, preservatives, or additives.

They had just the right amount of crunch and they're definitely a healthier alternative than the junk food I usually munch on, lol. I do wish they had more of a cinnamon flavor; I only tasted it slightly. Otherwise, these tasted great!

Nectresse Event

Last week, I was invited to an AMAZING event for Splenda's newest product, Nectresse, at the Trump Hotel. It was hosted by journalist Lisa Ling and Golin Harris PR. Nectresse is all-natural zero calorie sweetener made from monk fruit extract. The event was set up in different stations where guests can travel from one to the other learning something new about Nectresse.

There was a booth to taste Nectresse, to learn about diet information, to find out how it is made and more about monk fruit, how to use it in a neat hand massage/moisturizer, and finally - speaking personally with Lisa Ling.

Monk fruit can be found in remote mountain regions in China that grow in small family orchards. According to legend, the small green melon was first cultivated by Buddhist monks as early as the 13th century.

I personally tasted a couple of drinks, treats and desserts with Nectresse, and it tastes just as sweet -- I even tried it straight from the package! It's a lot healthier than other artificial sweeteners and it doesn't have the slight bitterness you may taste. It's perfect for people with diabetes, gluten intolerances, or just anyone who's looking for a healthier alternative.

This hits stores in July!

I'd also like to share a special video of Lisa Ling talking about Nectresse :)

Vitamins: What I take Everyday

Does anyone else take a crap ton of vitamins? I am not a doctor and feel very strongly that you should consult your doctor as to which vitamins are right for you to take. Here is what a normal week looks like for me:

I know it may look nuts, but I'm a health nut! I feel like in order to take care of my family (especially my kids) I need to take the best possible care of myself that I can.

I mean how can you take care of anyone else if you are not taking care of yourself?! Makes sense to me! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! xo
