Ips Chips – The Protein Snack

Posted on June 20, 2016 | Filed Under: Food, Product Reviews | Tags: Ips Chips, Ips Snacks, protein snack | 2 Comments

Ips Chips - Samples

Recently I was introduced to Ips Chips for the first time. I received samples of three flavors, just in time for Memorial Weekend! To me, fun in the summertime means picnics at the beach or lake, backyard BBQs, camping and/or road trips! That usually involves bringing food, drinks & snacks. While my hubby & family love to eat crunchy chips with a bright orange hue (you know which bag I’m talking about), I like to nosh on healthier … [Read more...]

EVER - Giveaway Prize Pack

I was introduced to EVER Skincare by my friend Kelly Mobeck, who is a Founding Leader with the company. If you follow my blog, then you’ll remember that I interviewed Kelly earlier in the year after meeting her at MomFair. We all know that it takes 30-days to make (or break) a habit. In fact, it took me a month to get used to the intense running & water-rowing exercise at Orangetheory Fitness. However hard work pays off & it helped me … [Read more...]

Could You Hug a Cactus Book - Giveaway

I was provided with a copy of "Could You Hug a Cactus?” All opinions are my own. I loved to read books as a child. It was while I was in elementary school that I discovered Shel Silverstein's "Where the Sidewalk Ends" & "A Light in the Attic." My imagination soared as I read his playful poems & drawings. While reading "Could You Hug a Cactus?" I found that it brought me back to that same place of whimsy. The poems are wonderfully … [Read more...]

Earth Day was on April 22nd, but honestly in my opinion, EVERY day we should be doing our part to help the planet. At a recent family trip to the Los Angeles Zoo, we were reminded about the everyday ways that we can sustain & preserve our planet’s resources. It only takes small changes from each one of us to make a big difference! We attended the opening day festivities of the LA Zoo’s new Wild for the Planet program, which runs for five … [Read more...]
