I love nuts, dried fruit, and trail mixes. They are healthy snacks that I actually would choose over an unhealthy snack. Not every trail mix is good though. I have had plenty of trail mixes that just don’t taste right. Maybe the company didn’t salt it or maybe they had a weird mix of ingredients. The same goes for nuts and dried fruit. I don’t just buy any cheap brand that I come across. I look at the ingredients, read about the company, and look for reviews. It sounds like a lot of work, I know, but I want to be sure that I am not being fooled by an items “brand” or by the packaging. Basically, if I purchase something, I am sure of my purchase. With that said, I want you to be sure of your next snack purchase. If you are interested in gourmet, healthy snacks keep reading… If you aren’t keep reading because you will be after you learn about Gourmet Nut.

Being healthy doesn’t only mean watching what you eat. It’s just as important to watch what you drink. Many people forget that drinks can be just as unhealthy as a lot of foods! I find great joy in trying new and unique foods and drinks. When it comes to looking for a unique drink, I typically stick with something healthy and natural. That is why I was super excited to try Caliwater’s All Natural Cactus Water. I have heard of cactus water, but I have never tried it. I mean come on, I live in Florida, there aren’t cactuses in all over the place. I must say, I was surprised by the health benefits of Caliwater’s Cactus Water.

I love companies that are passionate about their goals, customers, and products. I especially love companies that work hard to keep their customers healthy and happy. The best way to keep me happy with healthy snack bars is based on two important qualities. 1. The snack bars have healthy ingredients 2. The snack bars do not taste healthy. haha I know that sounds funny, but I’m serious. I can’t stand that “taste” that a lot of healthy snack bars have. It’s a bland, artificial, gritty taste. The risk of trying a healthy snack bar that I don’t like, never stops me from trying more. I love finding new snacks that I enjoy, so when I was offered the opportunity to try a healthy snack bar, I said “Sure, why not?”

Let’s face it. Men LOVE snacks and meat. Women always get rep for snacking all the time, but every man I know snacks more than most women. We have to watch our figures ya know 😉 I remember one year my grandmother (aka Mrs. Claus hehe) gave my guy friend a snack pack full of beef jerky. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was one of his favorite gifts! I am personally a very big fan of beef jerky! I will pass on the beef sticks, but I will eat the jerky until it makes me sick. It is one of my guilty pleasures. There you have it folks, you learned something new about me. I digress.

This is not “just another” weight loss product folks. This is the real deal. Nature Lane’s Forskolin Veggie Capsules are full of nutritional value! The day that I received these I started taking them. I expected to be taking these for a week or longer before seeing results, but the results were apparent that very day. I was a bit unsure if it was just how I was feeling or if it was the pills themselves, so I continued to take the pills twice a day, as directed.

This isn’t your typical water bottle. Yes, it is a plastic bottle for water, BUT this water bottle has an infuser! What a great idea! …

Every household should have a great weight scale. We should all be living a healthy life or at least trying too. A part of keeping track of your health, is keeping track of your weight. Why not have a good quality scale right in your home to help you with that?
