Winner will Receive their own Andes Mint Cheesecake, and the 26 Holiday Favorites Gift Box.  Good luck!

I like cheese cake, and I like Andes Mints.. combined.. it's out of this world to me.  Every time I literally go to the Swiss Colony online to browse I stop to drool at the Cheese cakes.  The Andes Mint Cheese cake is a good 2 lbs+, and a layer of thin chocolate over top, so it gave it that chocolate crunch when biting into. Also, there were Andes Mints pieces there too.  

The Cheese cake inside was minty with chocolate chips, I love minty!  The crumbly crust is a chocolate too. It really is rich in flavor, I ate some straight out the box and then some later after it chilling in the fridge.  Both ways I loved. My mini me is a very picky eater but he snuck into the fridge to eat some.  That's how I know it's good.  

I'm like a little kid when the delivery man comes with the classic Swiss Colony Boxes.  I know what is it just by the writing, and boxes.  It always puts me in such a great mood, and I sing a little Swiss Colony song.

Now my son does a Happy Dance for the 25 Favorite Things Gift Box.  There is no hiding how happy this Gift Box makes him.  (His happy dance he bends to the side, and sways a little. It's the cutest thing ever.)

Who needs a fancy, expensive toy when you can just buy Sy a Cheese/Meat/Cake/Chocolate Box.  There are also mustards, petit fours, mini tortes and jams in the box as well.

My overall impression? Between the meat, and the cheese, the cheesecake, the sweets.. even the sweet spicy mustard (btw I could dip anything into that, and eat it. the mustards just amazing. I wish they sold that by bigger jars!) this was a great combo to snack on, and enjoy for desert.. to me, the perfect Holiday Gift.

New Instant Way to #StopPain #Hangovers #UpsetStomachs First Aid Shot Therapy #Review @firstaidshot #Spon

Disclaimer: I received product for Review, all opinions & photos are my own.

There are plenty of days that I don't feel as if I have any time to even take care of my own ailments, kid or no kid there just doesn't feel like there's enough time to do everything.  Sometimes I feel like I have no energy left to even eat right, or get a glass of water to take something for my headache, and stomach ache. It just needs to be fast, and easy so I can move onto the next thing.

It's not laziness when you are ran thin all day, and just have no time for yourself, when you are doing everything else.  That is why I found the convenience of having these First Aid Shot Therapy single shot liquid bottles to use.  I used two, and threw the other two in my purse for another time.  These are great for anyone on the go.

I had the opportunity to review the Pain Relief, and Upset Stomach Shots.


First Aid Shot Therapy Pain Relief, Berry Flavored.

My son doesn't hold on when you hold him, and lets himself drop down, he's 50 lbs, and it's taking a toll on my Right side where I have to carry him (My left side is the leg I have the ORIF hardware at.) I liked how my arm felt after drinking the shot, instantly I didn't feel the sharp burn in my shoulder that I've been having on and off all week. The taste itself,  to my surprise wasn't horrible.  I was expecting something medicated, and thick.  It wasn't that syrupy which made it more tolerable in a single shot to take.  I also experienced no after taste. Huge bonus.  These are something I would take.  I rarely take anything for pain, but the cold, my son, trick or treating, took it's toll on my body this week. My headache went completely away, and the pain in my shoulder was dull, no longer sharp, or burning.  I stretched it while it felt better too.

First Aid Shot Therapy Upset Stomach Relief, Natural Peppermint & Ginger Flavored.

Yeaaah, I am a huge fan of sweets during the Holidays,  the sweets however do not like me.  I would like to believe I have will power, but naaah I don't.  I will eat the sweets first, then skip dinner ( I know that's not healthy, but hey it's the Holidays!) It really starts before Halloween.  Pumpkin everything.  I have to have it.  Even if it gives me heartburn.  Usually I take 2-3 calcium pills, but a single shot of First Aid Therapy kept my stomach acids down, and I didn't feel bloated.  My favorite was the Upset Stomach shot.  It goes down milky, the taste I would probably actually like in my Ginger Tea, mainly because I do like Peppermint, and Ginger together anyways.

All opinions are my own.  This was my experience taking First Aid Shot Therapy. I truly believe anything that helps to feel better, and is convenient in size, while the taste isn't unbearable is worth having around for the Just in case. They are also FDA-Compliant. My over all impression: I liked both of them.  I would take them again, and see myself buying them in the future.

Intel Technology Experience' Zones to Bring Access to Inspiration at Best Buy @BestBuy #IntelatBestBuy @bestbuyWOLF

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

The Intel Experience is in Select BestBuy's across the U.S.  I was excited to be able to go to the Annapolis, Maryland Bestbuy to experience the 3-D Printing of a Rose! The Cube 3-D Printer is the future. I think it's amazing that we are able to see technology advance so rapidly.  Definitely worth the time to go check out the Intel Experience for yourself.

While most (79%) of Americans are excited about the chance to learn and try out new technologies, half are frustrated by the lack of access to them beyond what they read or see in the media, according to a new study by Intel and Toluna.

That’s the reason why Intel and Best Buy are now teaming up to bring new Intel Technology Experience zones to 50 Best Buy stores in major markets across the U.S. The Intel Technology Experience lets customers – from tech enthusiasts to technophobes – play, explore, and be inspired by the power of technology with hands-on activities like 3D printing and virtual reality games. For many, this is the first opportunity to see, touch, and play with exciting new technologies they’ve only heard about.

I also learned what Augmented Reality is. What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented Reality technology superimposes digital images onto the real objects seen through a devices camera in real time.  The Intel' Processors inside these tablets provide the power to merge the digital and physical worlds, changing the way we work, and live.

It can turn floors, walls, and ceilings into racecourses, and environments for video games.  Navigate a new city, tour a museum, it can even locate your parking spot with digital guides. It can also show how new furniture can look in your home before even buying it.

Averaging 240 square feet, the Intel Technology Experience will show customers the power of Intel: the technology behind these new, innovative activities is the same power behind the devices like tablets and laptops we love and rely on every day. Customers can build and print their own 3D robot, show off their racing skills on Mars in an augmented reality world, master beats and remix tracks by Ne-Yo as a digital DJ, and check out the latest PC and tablet devices powered by Intel processors.

The area will be staffed by specially trained Best Buy Blue Shirts to answer questions and help customers make the most of each area within the experience. Each season, Intel will refresh the venues with a new array of technology experiences. 

For more information about the Intel Technology Experience areas, including a list of stores, visit www.bestbuy.com/intel.

"LIVE HEALTHIER" Family 6-Pack #SuperiorSource #Vitamins #Spon @usfg

This is a Sponsored Post. We love, and take vitamins daily in my house.  My son doesn't eat gluten, or any dairy, he has ASD, and we believe in diet, and vitamins (Personally, we all take vitamins.)

"LIKE" the Superior Source Vitamins Facebook page to receive the three special offers (https://www.facebook.com/SuperiorSourceVitamins). @usfg

What Makes Superior Source UNIQUE: Superior Source Vitamins are MicroLingual - "Under the Tongue Technology" that works fast, as they are quickly absorbed into the body, dissolving in seconds - NO pills to swallow! By swallowing supplements, as much as 50% of the potency is lost in the high acid environment of the stomach.

Why control homocystein levels?: because high levels of homocystein have been linked to cardiovascular disease. No sugar added in this vitamin either.

Just Women - Iron : Superior Source provides optimal levels of iron in our Instant Dissolve MicroLingual Tablets for efficient nutrient delivery. Ferrous fumarate helps restore iron levels in the body when levels are low. The ferrous fumarate salt may help reduce the chances of getting gastro-intestinal problems which are sometimes associated with other iron salts.

Vitamin D 1000 IU: Vitamin D works in conjunction with calcium to promote the development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth. Superior Source Vitamin D products are D3, the finest source of Vitamin D available.

Vitamin C Sour Cherry Melts: Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that cannot be produced by the body, therefore it must be replenished daily. Vitamin C also provides support to the body's immune system, very helpful in a season where people catch colds and flu. No sugar is added, these products are only sweetened by stevia; this is preferable to most 'chewable' vitamin C products that are typically loaded with lots of sugar.

Children's B Complex with Vitamin C: Children's B-Complex with folic acid, calcium pantothenate and biotin is formulated to provide the nutrients that support optimal health for the production and maintenance of new cells and supports nervous system health, energy metabolism, and healthy heart function.

Biotin 5000 mcg: Helps to maintain healthy blood sugar levels, promotes nail and hair strength and supports cell growth, metabolism of fats, amino acids and the production of fatty acids. Sugar FREE!

Where to Buy: You can purchase all Superior Source Vitamins at major retailers nationwide like Whole Foods and Vitamin Shoppe and major online retailers like, Vitacost, iHerb, Walgreens, Swansons and Lucky Vitamins.

@DreamTeamPets 30% Off #PromoCode #HolidayGiftGuide #Spon

This is a Sponsored Post. My son is always hugging, and sleeping with his stuffed animals, so Dream Team Pets will be a nice reward before Bed time, and I like that it helps create a positive way to maintain a healthy sleeping schedule with a Book, and stickers. 

Dream Team Pets is much more than a bedtime toy-it's an innovative kid's sleep aid that helps end the bedtime battles of trying to keep your child in bed. Developed with the help of a pediatrician, Dream Team Pets bedtime routine empowers kids as they reward their Pet with stickers and a certificate for a good night's sleep. If the child wakes up from a nightmare, there are no hard feelings because the responsibility is on their Pet, but when they successfully sleep in their own bed, the kids feel a sense of accomplishment as they reward their Dream Team Pet. What makes this unique is that the kids think they are training their Pet, but really they are sleep training themselves!

My Readers receive 30% Off Dream Team Pets with Promo Code: USFGUIDE

If you think The Amazing Dream Team Pets would make a great Holiday Gift for your little ones, or a little one you know, there is a 30% off Code for it! Use the code, USFGUIDE , while checking out on Amazon for the % Off. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=bl_sr_toys-and-games?ie=UTF8&field-brandtextbin=OIC+Toys%2C+LLC&node=165793011

@BestBuy Making #holidayprep Easier In The Kitchen! #Spon

The reviewer has been compensated in the form of a Best Buy Gift Card and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free.

Being that there are a lot of members in my family, and we all love to eat. The holidays can be a tad bit hectic preparing meals.  We bake a lot of sweets too. The craziness usually starts in October  and Lasts til New Years. We are huge Apple, and Pumpkin Anything  Lovers. We prepare a lot of our own treats year round, but it feels once October comes, and the weather is chilly again baking is ideal.  I crave to smell the spices.

Best Buy has a ton of kitchen appliances that make the Holidays less time consuming when it comes to creating those family favorite holiday treats.

If you are looking for new appliances to upgrade your kitchen for the Holidays check out the new Frigidaire FGIF3061NF. The Frigidaire can boil water on its burners in less than 2 minutes. What I also found interesting about this oven is it's a convection oven which circulates the air in the oven for quicker baking time. The induction stove top makes clean up faster with any spills.

Now if you are shopping for a double oven that is the size of a standard range check out the Whirlpool WGG555S0BS, is ideal for smaller kitchens that just don't have the space for a larger Double Oven, This oven does the same thing.  It can cook two different things, at two different temperatures.

#MyAdventure To Live A Barrier Free Life #GetOUTThere @NaturesValley

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post, all aspects of Get Out There is genuine! My story, and Eriks, are genuine.  Read more about them below.

Ask yourself; What is something that you've accomplished that you didn't know you had it in you? Either physically, or mentally breaking the barrier. What else do you want to do now?

The thing about life, and breaking barriers is.. There will always be a barrier to break. To overcome, and to get farther on the path you are venturing through.

For me, it's my leg. I refuse to let my leg bum me out. I still go hiking, canoeing and camping even with an Open Reduction Internal Fixator in my leg with cadavers. I know working that muscle, and setting goals for myself puts me in that I Can Do Anything I Put My Mind To Mentality. That to me is a great mind set to have. Healthier eating habits are also a must. I think you have to have both to strive, and always give things a chance. Remind yourself, you are doing your best, and your best is to keep going.  I remind myself all the time, it's one step at a time, and all those steps add up.

When I first read  Erik Weihenmayer motivational story about the boundaries he breaks to show others you go after the things you want to accomplish in life. No matter what. I could relate to him, on that aspect you do it, you do whatever you want to do, and achieve it no matter what.



Erik is the only blind adventurer to climb to the seven highest summits in the world. His latest expedition? To kayak the Grand Canyon’s Colorado River! How amazing is that!? Erik reminds me that life is about achieving that goal, while never giving up, once you do make it, you keep at it, you make new goals. You go on that great adventure, because that's what life is about, all those adventures that do add up, that we all go on. Check out more of Erik Weihenmayers by going here to find more out about Eriks latest 21 Day Journey!
