My Review Of Kashi TLC Peanutty Dark Chocolate Layered Granola Bar, Kashi Cinnamon Harvest and Kashi Ripe-Strawberry Soft Cereal Bars.

I am a Mom Ambassador for Moms Meet. Recently I received Kashi tLC Peanutty Dark Chocolate Layered Granola bars, TLC Ripe Strawberry Soft-Baked Cereal Bars and Cinnamon Harvest cereal.

I have shared these items with family and friends. My children have especially enjoyed them. We try to lead a healthy lifestyle so this was ideal for our family.

The Peanutty Dark Chocolate Layered Granola Bar was a hit. My 17 year old liked it better than my six year old, although; the six old did like them. These bars are:
  • Free of high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, and unnatural preservatives

  • Full of real nutrition: 7 grams of whole grains, 4 grams of fiber, and 4 grams of protein from peanuts and soy crisps


  • I was given a box of Ripe Strawberry Soft-Baked Cereal Bars. I did not get to try these, because my son ate them all. He absolutely loved them. These bars have no high fructose corn syrup also. They are naturally sweetended with real fruit and wildflower. There also seven whole grains in them and 3 grams of fiber.

    As for the Cinnamon Harvest, the box has a new look, and still has 47grams of whole grains and 5 grams of fiber.

    Please watch the video to see how much my son loved all three.

    My Review of Sprint PCS

    I have been a long standing customer of Sprint PCS since 1998.  I have dealt with them through many issues over the years.  Well I just found out today that no matter how long you have been a customer you are not valued.  I have not service for two of my cell phones for 10 days.  I have been told that the towers in my area are down.  In the beginning I was trying to be patient until last Thursday.  I own a mobile notary service, which requires me to answer the phone at all times or my clients will call the next notary.  I also have a teenage daughter that I need to get in contact with throughout the day.  Well, needless to say from September 10th until today and possibly a few more days I have had very little signal. They are still working on the tower issue.  They have given me a $37 credit for last week, a $50 credit for next month and an airrave that will work 5,000 feet in my house.  I appreciate the credits and the airrave, but this does not fix the problem with my loosing business and clients based on their faulty towers.  I have been told to drive away from my home area, get a new phone(in which there's nothing wrong with my phone, go to the sprint store to have the phone tested ( I did and nothing is wrong)  and wait for them to fix the problem.  I keep receiving meaningless apologies or should I scripted apologies.  Today the thought of not making any money, because my phone does not work alarmed me, this is my livelihood and these incompitent people are now interferring with my well being.  I called in to explain for the the 100th time the sense of urgency I am feeling, only to hear a supervisor in their escalations department tell me, there is nothing they can do, they have done all they can and I should just wait until the towers are up.  Are you kidding me?  What happened to trying to keep your customers or for that matter good customer service.  I am loosing clients daily and not making any money.  I know they can be more creative for their customers depending on the circumstances.  Sprint PCS is a heartless company that does not value their customers.

    Burberry Body Perfume Review

    I received a sample of Burberry Body perfume in the mail.  I was wondering what it could be, not expecting it to be a sample of perfume.  After opening the package I was pleasantly surprised, by the size and the appearance of the sample.  I am not sure of how many ounces, I would say about 2 ounces, but it is a nice amount.  

    When I opened the bottle the soft scent smelled so good and powdery.  I know some perfumes do not always smell the same when you put them on as they do when they are in the bottle, but this smelled the same, light, soft and powder fresh.  I do not have to apply a lot, although it is so light.  It is unbelievably long lasting.

    I have gotten compliments on the smell.  This is a perfume I plan on purchasing. 

    Thanks Burberry for the sample.

    Covergirl Natureluxe Review

    I mentioned in my previous posts that I won a sweepstakes prize from Teen Vogue, one of my prizes was Covergirl Natureluxe gloss balm with  SPF 15 sunscreen.  This was definitely a pleasant surprise.  I love trying new things and with this Los Angeles heat, this gloss balm has come in handy.

    Initially, when I looked at it, I thought, "This color is not going to work for me."  Then I read the label and thought, "This might work."  The label said, luxury touched by nature.  I have really been trying to use natural products so this would be perfect.  I tried it on and it was very soft, not glossy at all.  I then looked at the color, which is kind of a rose color and did not see anything when I applied to my lips,  I was kind of disappointed, but my 16 year daughter came in and tried it on and applied more than I did and it looked great on her.  She tried so hard for me to give it to her, I just could not, I had to reapply it on myself and when I did I liked the natural look my lips had and they felt good.  They felt so soft and conditioned.  The color is so faint that it gives me a polished and fresh look without much effort.  Although, the look is great the protection my lips are getting is good also.

    I must say this is a little different from what I am used to; usually I wear a natural, light colored gloss balm that has a lot of gloss.  So it is taking time for me to adjust, but I like it.  Covergirl Natureluxe is a product I will be adding to my makeup bag.  Thanks Teen Vogue for the win!!!!

    This is a product that I recommend you try.  If you have any thoughts are reviews please share them with us.

    My Review of Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara

    Just the other day I received a knock on my door and it was a surprise delivery.  I was a sweepstakes winner from Teen Vogue.  One of my prizes was a Covergirl Lash Blast Fusion macara, it was a pleasant surprise.  It came at the perfect time, I actually needed some mascara. 

    Since I needed some mascara, I could not wait to open the package and use it.  I must admit, my regular mascara is Dior, so this was definitely something new.  My daughter has been trying to convince me to use a cheaper brand, so this would be the perfect opportunity.  On the packaging it says this mascara offers volume + length.  Please keep in mind I have descent length of lashes, but would like them to be longer. My lashes have lots of curl to them, so I am someone that is looking for more length.  When I used it I was slightly pleased.  I did not experience the length and volume.  It seemed like there was more curl than anything.  I think the key is to keep applying more in order to get the results you desire.  It has not really helped, but it does make my lashes darker and noticeable.  They just do not pop the way I would like them to and know that they can.

    I  truly appreciate the win and will continue to use it, however; I really wish I experienced more length. I know it is possible, because my other mascara does give me more length and volume. 

    I would advise anyone to purchase this mascara only if they want more curl or maybe it will work better for someone else.

    Please let me know how this works for you or offer suggestions for others.
