{ Giveaway } ReUseIt.com Libre 9oz Loose Leaf Tea Glass Bottle Review.

Recently I had the opportunity to review ReUseIt.com Libre Loose Leaf Tea Glass Bottle.  The bottle itself is thermal, and double glassed.  I'm a huge fan of green tea.  I like to make my own green tea, then add a little bit of mango to add a little sweetness to it. This is the 9oz bottle.  It's pretty beautiful for being a reusable glass water bottle.

The layered holographic design on the top makes this reusable loose leaf tea bottle very unique.  I adore gifts like these.

I also liked the fact I experienced no weird metallic after taste from the filter, it's also BPA Free.  To learn more about going Green with reusable products, you should check out ReUseIt.com, they have something for everything.  During the summer I reviewed the Reusable Insulated Bag, that looked more like a tote/purse, and received lots of compliments.  

You can also find ReUseIt on Facebook & Twitter.

{ Giveaway } Go Max Food Candy Bars Review & Giveaway

Go Max Go Foods has some of the best All Natural candy bars I have ever experienced.  Not only are the names fun, but the chocolate, and ingredients were delicious.  I also liked the fact they are a cruelty free company.  Some of the bars are dairy-free & vegan, along with gluten-free.  

The Snap! bar was my favorite.  It's crispy, chocolatey, really I didn't even notice a difference.  I just know I enjoyed the bar.

Then comes Cleos Peanut Butter cups, oh, my, they are perfect.  The peanut butter itself is just smooth, and natural tasting.  I loved that the combination of the chocolate, and the peanut butter didn't overpower each other like another brand does from sweetness.   These I could taste each different layer the way good food should be.

Cleos & Snaps are both Gluten-Free.  You can find out more about the other bars by going here to Go Max Go Food.  There are alternatives to different candy bars, so maybe you can find your favorite, but a better quality of that favorite.  

I received these products for free to review.  I am always on the look out to better alternatives to share with you all.  These really are delicious, and a great treat to indulge in.

{ Giveaway } The Swiss Colony Sugar Free Holiday Tower Review & Giveaway

Whether you are diabetic, know someone that is diabetic or just someone that wishes to restrict their sugar intake The Swiss Colony has the perfect Sugar Free Holiday Tower for you! This tower retails for $39.95.

Included in the tower are:

• Fruity Gels
• Jelly Belly Jelly Beans
• Cherry Cordials
• Petit Fours
• Salt Water Taffys

I enjoyed them all.  I couldn't even tell they were Sugar Free.  I watch my sugar intake, and I am guilty of taking Cinnamon Pills when I indulge a little too much on real sugar.  What I really like about this Holiday Tower are the cute individual boxed, and wrapped little packages.  There is something for whatever sweet treat mood I am in at the moment.  

At the very top of the tower were the Sugar Free Fruity Gels.  I thought, wow! What trickery! These taste so sweet.  

Next were the Sugar Free Cherry Cordials.  I will admit, these are my favorites out of the whole tower.  Everything tasted GREAT, but I am a big fan of Chocolate Covered cherries, and the cherry is just mouth watering along w/the sugar free chocolate.  The liquid is clear inside too.  I'm not a fan of the "white filling" on some chocolate covered cherries so I was pleased to see these had the clear!! 

Beneath the Cordials are the Individual wrapped Sugar Free Assorted Jelly Belly Jelly bean flavors! I didn't even know Jelly Belly had sugar free jelly beans! Of course these were all delicious. Love, Love, Love, LOVE Jelly Belly.  As you can tell by my posts that I am a fan of items that have an assortment of things/flavors! This isn't a "big" tower, but it is big on flavor, and assortment.

Then comes the Sugar Free Salt Water Taffy.  These were my 2nd favorite after the Cherry Cordials.  The taffy is soft, stretchy, sweet, and everything Taffy should be.  I'm a sucker for good taffy.  Sometimes I go to local sweet festivals just for the fresh made salt water taffy.

Finally, but not forgotten in the least are the Petit Fours.  They come in a cute tin.  I love these things. They are like a mix between a petite 4 layered cake. Sinfully sweet, and yet Sugar free.

The tower arrived in a Red/White The Swiss Colony box.  The packing itself was quit impressive.  All the gift boxes were arranged together already. All I did was pull the tower out the box, and it was set up for me.

The Swiss Colony has been making Gifts since 1927. Including Cheeses, spreads, specialty meats, chocolates, award-winning butter toffee, cakes, tortes, kringles, brownies, candy, cookies, Gluten Free, and Sugar Free items!

I received these samples for free to review.  One lucky follower will also win a Sugar Free Holiday Tower too! U.S. Residents Only.  Giveaway begins 12/6/2012, and ends 12/13/2012.  Winner is chosen at random via Raffle Copter. Prize Value is $39.95. Winner has 24 hours to verify winning email. If winner is not verified, prize is forfeited and another winner will be chosen at random.  It's so close to the Holidays that I want this to be fast! So check your emails after the 13th!!

{ Review } The Swiss Colony Gluten Free Raspberry Linzer Cookies

Life According To GreenVics, Holiday Gift Guide! 

The Swiss Colony, Gluten Free Raspberry Linzer Cookies.

Buttery sugar cookie with Raspberry filling.  

Recently I received a LB of Gluten Free Raspberry Linzer Cookies to sample for review.  Let me just tell you that these cookies are perfection!!!!!!!! The cookie literally melted in my mouth.  Some people think just because things are "Gluten Free" that it means they are flavor free, when in all actuality that is so not the case.

A lot of people are gluten free.  Some just because they don't want the added preservatives, and others because their bodies can't process wheat like others.

Baby Sy approved, he was pointing to try!

Whatever the reason may be, these Gluten Free cookies would be a great Holiday Gift for those Gluten Free families!!!! 

I also reviewed the Sugar Free Holiday tower from Swiss Colony, and yes! There is a giveaway for that tower.  Go here to read my other review, and enter the giveaway. (Giveaway begins 12/06/12, Ends 12/13/12)

Just because ones diet restricts certain ingredients does not mean they still can't indulge in gourmet sweet treats!

{ Review } Build-A-Bear Workshop® Make Your Own Beary Limited® Edition Rudolph & Clarice.

I can't get over how adorable these Beary Limited® Build-A-Bear® Rudolph & Clarice are! You can find these lovable festive friends at the Build-A-Bear Workshop®. I love the fact that you can make, and personalize these!

The 19inch Rudolph® nose lights up, I love that anyone can make whatever character they want. He can be decked out in Holiday gear, or even with a tuxedo. Anything you want really! The assortment of accessories at Build-A-Bear® are plenty!

The Slippers on his little paws made me go Awwwww!!!! Too cute! All I can do is want to sing Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer® while pushing the button to make his nose glow.

The 18 in. Clarice® has the most holiday-cheery- bloomers & dress that are just as equally adorable! There are even shoes to match the dress. Clarice also has a heart on her that lights up when pushed.

I've always been a Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer® fan so when I saw Build-A-Bear® had Rudolphs, and Clarices to make I just had to have them! They will be the center piece for my Holiday decorations. I've already had family members want them. They both are pretty big, and can stand up on their own without falling over. They retail for $23.00 before accessories.

Also there are always the option of a Gift Card so your little one can go into the store, and make their own Build-A-Bear®.

Don't forget to check out the Limited Edition Smallfrys, their sizes range from 7inches. I'm in love with the Long Earred Bunny, and Hedgehog.

I received these products to sample for review. My opinions are my own! Wishing you all an abundance of happiness on this upcoming Holiday!

Happy Holidays! Love Wastefully, always!

{ Giveaway } TheProteinBakery.com Review & Giveaway Whey Protein Brownies, Cookies, and Blondies

I could say how delicious, and beautifully packaged TheProteinBakery Blondies, Cookies, and Brownies are.  But, I'd much rather show you what I was able to taste/review in pictures!

These are the Black & White Blondies minis!!!  They are bite size, and full of protein, and flavor. The milk chocolate chip ratio to white chocolate chip is to die for.  Each bite literally was an explosion of taste! They are so moist, and just.. hard to stop at eating just one! Luckily these are the mini's so I justified it as wellllllll I'll eat another after my work out. And, another, and another..

What I really found interesting about this bakery is everything is made fresh, and in small batches.  To me that shows that they care about their product, and want to show each little sweet treat some love.

These are the seasonal pumpkin walnut chocolate chip cookies.. They were moist, delicious, and just looking at the pictures I took before I ate them.. makes me wish I had more!! I bit into these, and just did the whole Mmm, these. are. so. good. I didn't share.

I really enjoyed all the different flavors, and the Oatmeal Ginger Cookies were my 2nd favorite next to the Pumpkin.

Sometimes you just feel like a chocolate, chocolate chip Blondie!! The chocolate is so rich, and just perfect that it made me happy, and not feel bad for giving into the cravings.  Considering these baked goods are made of natural ingredients, and are gluten free.

As you can see, they are all individual wrapped, the cookies come two to a pack.  If you freeze them they will last up to 3 months!!! Without freezing they last for two weeks.. They didn't even last 2 days in my house.  My husband is the protein shake, muscle builder in the family so he indulged in these.

Reusies.com Re-usable Sandwich & Snack Bags { Review }

Reusies.com has some of the coolest reuseable sandwich, and snack bags.   I really like the fact that the outside is 100% cotton, and the inside is leak resistant nylon.  The set I received for my toddlers snacks are my favorite colors! Green & Black.  There are all types of designs.  I loved how many ideas for Holiday Gifts Reusies can be used for.

I put brownies, and you know brownies crumble easily, and make a mess!! I wanted to see how easy it would be to store, and let my little man use the bag for his snacks.

LOL, He's sniffing inside the bag.  If he didn't like it he would've pushed the bag away, or thrown it.  So these Reusies.com Bags were a success.  I really adore products that are more than just a one time use thing.  These would be fantastic for the holidays.  Plus,  a great way to save money, and budget on snacks instead of buying individual bags of snacks, plastic baggies, or buying a snack while out in public you can just bring your own! 

Here's to a greener life.  Thanks Reusies.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

ArtMusicGames.com NutCracker Interactive Music Game { Review }

Tchalkovsky's Nutcracker music game is so much fun!! I like that when the game starts you are in the childs room.  Then you can pick from there where you want to go/do. There's so many different things to do, learn, and doors to go into.

My little man loves music, so that helped keep his attention. He's just now learning games so this is fun to do with him. There are also puzzles!

The musically instruments are easily heard, and seen. The graphics are extremely cute!

The game itself is extremely easy to install.  I had the downloadable  version, and I had no problem what so ever installing it on my Windows 7 machine.

If you are interested in this game, you can find out more by going to artandmusicgames.com for the nutcracker.

This is what the game looks like when it is loading, and to pick which door you want to go into.  The game retails for $12.00 +shipping for a physical copy, and $10.00 for a downloadable copy.

Hammacher Schlemmer Specialty Gifts Review (Mine happens to be a Grinder/Roaster/Coffee Brewer!!)

Holiday Gift Guide: Hammacher Schlemmer has it all!

Wouldn't it be something to take whole beans.. roast.. and grind all in one machine..while at HOME?!?

Recently I was sent the Breville Grinder/Roaster from Hammacher Schlemmer to review.  First I'd like to praise Hammacher Schlemmers customer service, and fast shipment.  This company has been specializing in the best, the only, the unexpected for 164 years. That is truly remarkable, and I honestly praise them for the history behind their company.

The quality of the gift I received from Hammacher Schlemmer made me so giddy.  I love coffee, and I love electronics that do far, and above what others do.  The fact that this company has a whole catalog of products that I would personally like to own every single one of just makes me want to purchase gifts for everyone.  I'm a firm believer in budgeting else where so we can splurge on items like these. Through the long hours at work, to the whiney children at home.. I felt as if shopping from here would be like a well earned reward. 

Best. Present. Ever.  I am an avid dark roast consumer. Now I own a machine, that roasts, grinds, and is just classy.  Thank you Hammacher Schlemmer.  I have nothing but great things to say about your company, and you do offer the best gifts to be found.  Really, there is something for everyone in this catalog.  

If you'd like to check out Hammacher Schlemmer, or to request a catalog, go here.  Really, who wouldn't any of these gifts make happy? 

I know I am extremely happy with mine. It's a great, easy, way to grind, and brew your own coffee.  I can make gourmet, fresh, coffee at home.  For the cost of beans, and the flavoring that I enjoy, it saves me so much money making my own.

Seriously, once you go this fresh, you can never go back.  Even getting coffee made at expensive coffee houses, you still know, it could be FRESHER.

BzzAgent GreenVics, Kroger Chicken Review.

I just tried Krogers Chicken, and loved it.  The breading was extra crispy, just the way fried chicken should be.  The Skin, and crispies the best part to eat! While the chicken underneath was moist, and delicious.  It reminded me a lot of my Moms Fried Chicken, and she is notorious for her cooking.  To where, Family members used to buy chicken, and bring it over for her to cook up!  Her frying pan literally takes up almost 2 burners.  So I know good chicken.  I also liked that Kroger has fried, and Baked chicken available right at the Deli/Bakery section. Always fresh, and smells great walking past it.

Verdict: Tastes Great, even the 2 year old enjoyed it.
