Join #Markerly Blogger Network, and Get Paid for your Influence.



This is a sponsored post for Markely. I tell friends, and family how financially, and intellectually stimulating blogging can be for a person. It's not far fetched to be able to blog, review products, and even make money doing so sometimes. What I enjoy most is how it's on MY TIME.  When I want to, and I get to apply, and accept what campaigns fit best with my lifestyle. A lot of time I get told "I don't have time." Don't you already check your email? Aren't you already looking at products online, and reading reviews for things, as is? Do you ever click SHARE after you buy a product? Don't you like to try new things? I know I do. I've also met a lot of great people while networking.


Imagine working with Levi's, Super Bowl, TruMoo, eMeals etc. from your home, on your time. Or, to get free products to review like wine from companies like Last Bottle Wines and Invino or cool earbuds from Jaybird. That is what Markerly does. They make it easy for you to apply for a campaigns online for sponsored content by emailing you when one is open. I will never understand how someone can play online but never has the time to check an email. Markerly is one of the best blogging network to find sponsored content opportunities and get paid to work with awesome brands.


Markerly's network is open to anybody to join that has over 10,000 page views a month or an average of 3 comments per post. So that is a great goal to go for when blogging. It's all about interaction, and networking. Also a little tip, blog about things you love, and make sure you Share photos, and rename photos what it is. And, Add keywords, and tags in labels, and Search Description. With friends, and family sharing, along with search engines. Anything is possible with blogging. Markerly is very focused on quality blog posts and bloggers that have engaged audiences.

Influential marketing really is the future. Companies, and consumers want to know real people reviews.

I mentioned earlier how I've met a lot of great people while blogging.  It's not just other bloggers, but also made friends on my pages, and companies like Markerly who know that sharing is what it's about. Social Media is like a domino effect.  If my 20,000 + followers just share with a few of their couple hundred friends/family.  Things are seen.  Now if blogger friends share with each other it is EPIC. So don't think OMG 10,000 page views is a lot.  Not really, it's not really that much a month.  Once you have content up, like reviews, products, and I like to do recipes too.  People will search, and find you.

Make it happen, Captain.  Sign up for Markerly Blogging Network here, It costs you nothing to sign up, and Markerly pays super fast. One of the fastest, and best blogging networks that I am proud to be a part of.  In two days they pay by Paypal after you've wrote your posts, and shared.

You can also check out what the Press is saying about Markerly.  Look at how well the content sharing platform is doing! This is why I like Markerly so much.  They understand to be successful, you have to share.  With technology now a days, and everyone being "Plugged in" social media really is the now!

Disclaimer: This sponsored post was extremely easy to write because I already use this Network, and it's fun for me to blog.  Love it, and love my followers.

Spoiler Alert! Tonights #BiggestLoser Episode @MyTrainerBob recipes to @SwitchToTurkey

Jennie-O Extra Lean Turkey Breast is my Favorite.
We are a huge fan of Jennie-O turkey! From the Turkey Hams (Great value for the price, makes a few meals.) to the Turkey Bacon that even my picky 3 year old Enjoys!! I'm not surprised to see them on the biggest loser at all. Bob is my favorite trainer! Tune in tonight to see what Bob has to say at 8/7c on NBC. That is 8-9PM Eastern for me.

Spoiler Alert! On tonights Biggest Loser episode, trainer Bob Harper surprises contestants with a healthy cooking lesson rather than a workout.



Worried about "all over the place" eating habits, Harper wants to instill consistently healthy eating habits - starting with breakfast. Telling contestants that healthy lean protein is a key ingredient in a good diet, Harper presents Jennie-O ground turkey and turkey bacon as the meat of choice for two egg frittata recipes.


After contestants select one frittata to eat, Harper lets them know that these breakfast treats are healthy enough for them to enjoy two!



Today¹s busy schedules make skipping breakfast entirely or grabbing higher-calorie fast foods more and more common.

A key component of a better breakfast is protein. The Institute of Health¹s Dietary Reference Intake recommendations allow anywhere from 10 percent to 35 percent of total calories for normal healthy adults.

Jennie-O has a long list of Biggest Loser-approved products, all great sources for healthy protein, including the ground turkey and turkey bacon featured in the January 13 episode. For a list of all Biggest Loser approved products, visit http://www.jennieo.com/products/collection/5-The-Biggest-LoserR-Approved

In addition to the breakfast recipes featured on tonight¹s ³Biggest Loser², Jennie-O¹s offers many more recipes for great-tasting, healthy breakfasts to start your day off right. http://www.jennieo.com/recipes/collection/211-Breakfast

Easy Stuffed Gluten Free Chicken Breast Recipe! Check it out! Plated with Raw baby leaf spinach, and spaghetti squash.


for 4 large boneless chicken breasts you will need,

4 large boneless chicken Breast
1 pack of Neufchâtel Lite Cream Cheese
1 pack of Uncured Apple Wood Bacon
Green Onions


Step 1, Start to cook your bacon.  
Step 2, Half cook all but a few slices of bacon 
(The all the way crispy pieces are for the Cream Cheese Stuffing.)
Step 3, Set aside the half cooked bacon 
(You use these to wrap the chicken with later, so do not cook them all the way.)

Preparing the Cream Cheese Stuffing,

Step 4, Dump the Cream Cheese into a bowl,
Step 5, Cut some Fresh Green Onions Up (I use cooking scissors for everything like this.)
Step 6, Take some all the way Bacon you cooked first, and cut into little pieces, and add to the bowl too
Step 7, Add some salt, pepper

Preheat Oven to 375,

Preparing the Chicken

Step 8, Add some salt, pepper, and a little bacon grease into a glass baking pan
(This is what the Chicken will be baking in.)
Step 9, Make sure your tooth picks are out and reachable without having to stop, and wash your hands.
Step 10, Take thawed Chicken Breast and flatten between Wax Paper starting from the center out with the flat side of a meat mallet. 
Step 11, Take the flatten chicken breast, and rub both sides into the salt, and pepper in the glass bowl, then place  it breast side down.

Stuffing the Chicken

Step 12, Split the Cream Cheese Stuffing up between all four breasts, right in the center of the flat breast.
Step 13, Hold the chicken breast together, and wrap a piece of bacon around it with a tooth pick. Add as much bacon as you want, and as many tooth picks as you want.  I like to over stuff, so I used a few at the end and folded the chicken in to make like an envelop.

Cooking the Chicken,

Step 14, Oven should've already been preheated to 375.  Bake at 375 for 30 Minutes.
Step 14, After 30 minutes, Broil it for 5 minutes.



I plated mine with Fresh, raw baby leaf spinach.  And a side of Spaghetti Squash.



It's so delicious, and easy to make.  I think next time I'm going to buy more uncured apple wood bacon (My 3 year old loves that stuff, so I had to keep cooking it for him, lol.) So next time I am going to get 2 things of Cream cheese, 2 things of bacon (I get the thick cut.) to make 8 Stuffed Breasts.

Herbal Essences Naked Collection Review! Grapefuit & Mint, Zero Heavy Residues, Dyes, and Parabens.


I may have a  teeny, tiny obsession with Herbal Essences.  So when I was giving the opportunity to review the new Herbal Essences Naked Collection to facilitate a review, and Giveaway (Congratulations Gayle!!) I squealed at the chance, and couldn't respond fast enough to the email.

First I had to do a video on ordering the Herbal Essences Naked Collection online from Walmart.com.  It was as simple as searching The Naked Collection, in the top search bar on Walmart.com, and clicking the Box Set to purchase.  I opted to purchase the collection, and have it sent to my local Walmart for FREE in store pick up.  Since that was all I was purchasing, and Shipping would have been free for a cart full of more than $25.00 I thought the in-store pick up was more money savvy.. Go here to see that Video on How to Order the Herbal Essences Naked Collection from Walmart here.

Second, comes the fun part after having the Naked Collection in home, The actual review for it.

Say hello, to The Naked Collection by Herbal Essences with Grape Fruit, and Mint.

For reviewing this, First I didn't wash my hair for a few days.  I'm a proud mommy of a 3 year old, and I also don't believe in washing my hair everyday anyways for it's natural oils. Instead of washing my hair, I woke up, and used the Naked Collection Dry Shampoo.


HERBAL ESSENCES HAS DRY SHAMPOO NOW!! Sorry for CAPSING you, but Yay, I got this excited to when I saw they brought back the Pink Rose Herbal Essences Collection too.

If you've never tried a Dry Shampoo, seriously, try this one.  It's affordable, and it does the work.  It goes on like a powder dry spray.  It's not visible, but just helps get the grease shine out when brushed through. Dry shampoo is great if you are traveling, camping, or just got out the gym and didn't have time to shower.


The Shampoo lathered up well, and was easy to wash out.


The Conditioner was easy to smooth through out my hair.  And, to rinse out.


Once out, I used a little of the Naked Volumizing Souffle, and dried my hair.

The scent of the Naked Collection isn't strong, I am a hair sniffer.  When smelling my hair, I can smell the Mint, but it isn't over powering.  I think it smells good! Also love how Shiny, and dark my hair looks from the Volumizing Souffle.


Overall Impression of the New Herbal Essences Naked Collection:  Well worth the $12.99 for the Boxed Set! The scent is light, and clean from the Grapefruit & Mint.  The Shampoo & Conditioner have zero heavy residues, dyes and parabens.


If you are interested in finding out more, you can find the Herbal Essences Naked Collection on Walmart.com to purchase.

#Tinsel & #Sheer #Lustre #Glitter @SinfulColors_NP Nail Polish Collection Exclusively available at @Walgrens


I received these beautiful SINFUL Colors Professionals Nail Polishes to facilitate a review for.  All opinions are photos are my own.

These Sinful colors are exclusively available at Walgreens.  If you are looking for affordable nail polish, these are only $1.99.  Sometimes even cheaper if you are a Savvy Walgreens Shopper!

The colors are beautiful! I have Top Me Off, 24 Karat, Silver Rainbows,  and Spiked Ice (In order of above photos.)

Personally I like to use a pretty Metallic color as a base coat.  Check out Sinful Colors Shimmer Mirror Metallic collection.


First base coat, I do a light first coat, let dry, then do another coat of my favorite silver metallic polish.


Once that dried, I used the Silver Rainbow Sinful Colors polish as a Top Coat,


The colors are beautiful, it really depends on how much Glitter you want.  It does dry fast.

Apple Bread using Rice Flour.


Preheat Oven to 350F,

3 Granny Smith apples
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons lemon juice

How to make the Bread:

2 1/2 cups Rice flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons coconut oil

First take the apples, peel and core them.  Cut into thin slices.  Add Sugar, Cinnamon, and Lemon Juice. Bake in a glass dish for 15mins.

While the Apples bake,
Start your bread.  If you are wheat free, check out Rice Flour.

Mix the Rice Flour, Sugar ( I like mine sweet, so I use a full cup of sugar. Use Stevia, or whatever else you like to substitute.) Instant Year, salt, warm water, and I like to melt coconut oil, and mix into the bread mix.

Kneed into a ball, and work it into a thin sheet onto parchment paper.

I use parchment paper that way it's easy to bake.

Take your apple filling that should be cooling off by now, and add to the center of your flattened bread.  Fold the sides over.  And cut slices onto the top.  It doesn't have to be perfect, just slice where ever!

Bake on 350 for 20 minutes.

Mix melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar.  And rub on top the baked bread.

Put back in the oven to brown some more.

Bake for another 5 minutes.


Easy Gluten Free Meal, Spaghetti Squash!

Today my hubby made an Easy Spaghetti Squash Recipe for dinner,


Preheat Oven to 375 F, 

Preparing the Squash is as easy as cutting the Squash in half (It looks like an oversized Squash) Cut the tips first, then cut it in half using the rock back and forth method.  It also cooks quicker this time then whole.

You take the seeds, and pulp out.  You can also bake the seeds, and eat those if you want.  We didn't this time.

Before baking, add a little salt, garlic, pepper, and coconut oil, the flip it so it's Rind Side up to bake.

Bake for 35 minutes. 

When done baking, just take a fork, and scrap the insides out in a down ward movement.  It comes out looking like Spaghetti.

Other ways to cook:

Bake rind side up about 30 to 40 minutes at 375 F.
Microwave 6 to 8 minutes (let stand for a few minutes afterwards)
Boil 20 minutes or so.

Add whatever toppings,  We did a tomato, Tuscan veggy mix ontop.



Try it! Even just the Spaghetti Squash with salt, pepper, and butter tastes delicious on its own.

Airborne Blast of Vitamin C Review!

I received product through Smiley360 to facilitate a review for Airborne.  All opinions, and images are my own!



I am a huge fan of taking vitamins.  Especially this time of the year.  My new favorite vitamins are Airbornes Chewable Tablets.  Not only do they dissolve and remind me a lot like a cherry sweet tart.  They also are full of Vitamin C, and other crucial vitamins I believe the body needs.  Especially this time of the year.  We were -35 windchill the other day!!! Vitamins are a must right now for being cooped up inside.  I truly believe everyone should take their vitamins, and that everyday food amounts we consume does not have enough daily vitamins that we need. (this is what I believe, and why we should take vitamins ontop of our meals.)


My little one enjoyed the Airborne Kids Gummies.  I didn't have to tell him to eat them.  They taste delicious.

If chewable tablets, and vitamin gummies aren't something you like.  There are also the Airborne tablets that you can put into water, or your favorite juice, it fizzes and makes a great treat as well. There are many other ways to help, and try to do this.  Like Diet, Exercise, ontop of taking vitamins.  Everything helps.

Love Gum?? Ready to #KickAspartame in the New Year? Check out PÜR Gum.

Recently I received packs of Pur Gum for free to review. 

What makes this Gum the #1 Selling Aspartame-Free Gum in North America is the fact that the PÜR Gum is vegan, gluten-free, non-gmo, nut-free, diabetic friendly and dairy free.

Since it is Aspartame free, there are NO nasty chemicals in it to sweeten it up.  It is naturally flavored, and sweetened.  


The flavors I tried, were Winter Green, Pomegranate Mint, Spearmint, and Peppermint.  I am a huge fan of Mint, so I enjoyed all of the gum.  


The Gum itself are square shaped, and easy to chew.  Just pop one out the package (each piece is sealed, and fresh.) 

I know a lot of people do resolutions for the new years.  Like to eat better, to exercise, etc. 

Did you know chewing gum Burns calories? 

What is a better, healthier alternative way to burn a few calories, and help crave hunger in between meals, and snacks than to chew Chemical free Gum? 

Also if your resolution was to stop smoking - This would be a better alternative to go Chemical free with Gum too.  

Either way I personally believe this gum is a better substitute than a lot of things out there.  



Don't forget to check Pur Gum out on Facebook,

Life According To GreenVics 2013 Holiday Gift Guide.


Here are a few of our favorite things from the past year that we have worked with, and enjoyed at Life According To GreenVics. I will be adding a lot more through out the month.  Some have Giveaways, so always check out my Side Banner for Current Giveaways!


The Swiss Colony 82 - Favorite Things Box has made it to the Gift Guide, not only because it's delicious, but the quality of the 82 items inside, and the fact it's a 10 Lb box filled with snacks, and treats that everyone in my family enjoyed made this the epitome of Meat/Cheese/Chocolate/Nuts/Jams/Mini Tortes/Breads Gift. Retails for $129.95, Check out my The Swiss Colony Review here, or go directly to The Swiss Colony, to drool over more treats ( I go for the Mint Chocolate Cheesecake Eye Candy.) 


Lugz  Laurel Shoes have become my go to house shoes, and my lazy slip on's for outside.  What made these Holiday Gift Guide worthy were the Warmth, Softness, and just overall ease of wear.  It also doesn't hurt that these shoes only retail for $29.99.  Great price, and lot's of unique colors to chose from.  Check out the my Full Review for Lugz Laurel in Turquoise, and Lugz.com for more Colors, and Shoes!


Barts Cookies was a delightful treat.  Honestly, the best way to describe these cookies is to compare a cookie, with 5 cookies on top with the trickery appearance of a cookie dough ball.  It really is a sinful treat. They were thick, moist, and full of  chocolate chips.  I tried the Chocolate Chips, and the Gluten Free White Chocolate.  They've earned there spot on the Gift Guide by just being how Chocolate Chip cookies should be.  Sweet! You can read my full Review for Barts Cookies here, and Go drool over some Barts World Famous Cookies on BartsCookies.com.


Awesome Deck of Awesome make the perfect gift.  I say this because wouldn't it be nice to just give someone a card that says they are awesome.  Even if it's for no reason. Just because.. they ARE awesome.  The concept behind these cards are Lto share positive reinforcement by handing out Awesome Deck of Awesome Playing Cards. Each card is a different way to express how awesome your child is. Give a card just because, or reward for a chore. Once every card is collected it finishes a puzzle on the back. Your Awesome is Legendary is one of my favorites. You can find Awesome Deck of Awesome on Amazon


Stache Tats are the OG of Temporary Mustache Tattoos.  What makes these Holiday Gift Guide worthy are how unique, and playful Stache Tats are.  They were easy to apply, and to take off. They also do favorite sports teams, different holidays, and just funny designs too.  Check them out! You can find my full review for Stache Tats, and hubby wearing a Pumpkin stache by going here.  


California Delicious Gourmet Gift Sets made our rained in day a lot better. It may have been a gloomy, rainy day outside, but we still had  an al fresco California Delicious picnic inside. We love Cheese, and Meat Sets in this household.  What really impressed us were the layers of goodies, the freshness, and taste of everything in the set. Check out my review for the California Delicious Gourmet Cutting Board Gift Deluxe.


Guylian Chocolates are artisan chocolates that are beyond Holiday Gift Guide worthy! I was blown away at the smoothness of the chocolate. Even the no added chocolate bars were sweet, and smooth.  Biting into the hazelnut truffle filling melted instantly into my mouth.  Please check out Guylian Chocolates to find out what else they have! Also read my full review for Guylian Chocolates.

Patch Products Toy Review, Let's Play! Pop! Pop! Piano, and Clifford Pair Up Card Game. Put the electronics down, and PLAY!


Sy is in love with his Path Products Pop! Pop! Piano.  From the time I received it to do a review for, he was infatuated with it.

Each key makes a different sound when played.  It also pops up a colored jack that matches each key.  Of course you can shake the piano and have it mix up the colors, and try to match them back where they belong by playing it.  He figured out how to flip the switch to have it play piano sound or fun sounds himself.


I know when he really likes a toy, it gets carried around, and set up like inventory with his other favorite toys. He took the plastic case off the Pop! Pop! Piano and we used it to show him different colors, and where they go.  There is really so many different ways to use the Pop! Pop! Piano.  You can even push the keys to have the kids run after the pieces when the plastic is off.  


We just started to use matching flash cards.  Sy is 3, and still doesn't talk.  But he DOES know how to match things up, and things that sounds like each other.  He will also go get his toy, that matches the card too.


The Clifford Pair Up Card game has cute Dogs, Frogs, Squirrels, Girls, Clifford Characters to pair up. Sy's favorite thing to do is pair the Dog, and the Frog together.  The plastic Clifford Dog house storage case is a nice touch to pack the cards back up when we are done playing with them.  The other flash cards he has just come in little cardboard boxes, so this one is definitely great for storage, and wear.

You can find these products, and much more for children of all ages at Patch Products.  

Check Patch Products out for yourself, http://www.patchproducts.com/

Disclaimer: I received products to facilitate a review.  Well, Sy received products to Play! and Have fun. Which he did.  Put the electronics down, and PLAY!

Pompeain 100% Grapeseed Oil All-Natural Cooking Spray #Review, and #Coupons

Smiley360 sent me Pompeain Spray to review.  What makes this spray in my opinion better than the others, is the fact it is 100% Grapeseed Oil.  The spray nozzle on the bottle itself makes the spray coat more surface area than other sprays.

I used mine to coat a pan for Sweet Potato Casserole,

3 cups mashed sweet potatoes
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup melted butter


Top With,
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup melted butter


Preparation:

Combine the mixed mashed sweet potatoes, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, milk, and melted butter into the casserole dish. Once that is ready, you then mix the Brown Sugar, flour, and melted butter in a different bowl and pour that as the topping of your casserole dish.

Bake on 350 for 30mins, or until you think its Brown enough.
