Banana Saver Review

 Banana Saver

unique clip keeps cut banana fresh.

cut banana @ 10 AM

it reduces the cut banana's exposure to the air slowing it's oxidation

ate 2nd half @ 3 PM

Review: I think it works great! I cut my first 1/2 @ 10 AM and ate the second at 3PM!!!! I know so many people ask "you can't eat a full banana??" sometimes a full banana is too much. If I want it in my cereal I don't want to much.

Eye- love Dior

DiorDior Mascara

Love it!

When I was in Vegas last September I stopped into my favorite store

Sephora.

I only shop online because I don't have one any where near me

So, very excited. I spent hours just browsing and I finally asked a nice sales person to help me get a great mascara.

She asked what are you looking for?

long, full, thick lashes (isn't everyone)

but...

I ALWAYS get the black circle under my bottom lash's so I need something that will stay on my lashes (I don't ever ever put mascara on my bottom lashes because it's doesn't work for me)

She told me to find a waterproof, black mascara

She showed me:

DiorDiorShow ($24)

My thoughts as she is explaining to me how to apply is: will this work?

Caution aside I bought it

Let me tell you it is great!!!!

I don't get the under the eye circle's and it makes my lashes full!!

Remember I don't have a local Sephora around so I usually wait to put one big order it so I get free shipping

I receive my email from Sephora about new items and what did I see:

DiorDior Maximizer lash plumping serum ($28)

(If you order they send you a sample of mascara)

WOW!!! It's great. My lashes look SOOOOOO long and then with the mascara. I have never had such great looking lashes!!!

I even slept in it last night my eyes still look great when I woke up.

What it does:The newest addition to the family of legendary Diorshow Mascaras, Diorshow Maximizer Lash Primer Serum instantly primes, plumps, and lengthens lashes with an ultra-light and quick-drying formula. The first "active serum" mascara primer also contains a unique cell-conditioning complex made up of hydrolyzed soy proteins that promote long-term lash growth, strength, and vitality

hey there, nice blog =)

Today I received an email from Chelsea telling me she likes my blog. I was interested because I wasn't aware that people knew about my blog except to AP. As I am reading her email she expressed she liked the design and would like me to look at her blog. She told me that it's a new and she would like me to look around and give her feedback on what I think. From I can tell its a fashion blog that you give your advice/opinions on fashion, help others decide if clothing goes together and so on. I feel it's a great idea. I think I will explore a little more and go from there. Here's the link in case it's helpful to anyone else:

THRE3 by U.S Polo

K-Mart has a line made by U.S Polo

I was out looking for rubber boots the other day and came across this line.

I tried several items on and didn't care for any of them

one was a woven top, one was a knit top w/ ties on the sleeve's

I did try the jeans and dress pants and liked them

I ended up buying a short sleeve cardigan (24.99)and a v-neck tee (9.99)

I love them both!

the tee fit's so nice

I went back today to get some more and the 40% off sale was gone!

Subway to the Rescue

Subway to the rescue!

My morning schedule had a change today

I need to be out the door early

I had heard about Subway breakfast and I thought I would give it a try!

I had an egg white sandwich

(never had an egg white omelet or just eggs whites w/o the yolk)

I added ham, spinach and tomato

It was SOOOOoooooOOO GOOD!

The flavor was out of this world.

Greek to me

Greek yogurt:

everyone one states that Greek yogurt is so good for you

it has 2x the protein

I tried it......

I didn't like it

It was thick, grainy, hardly no flavor

I had 2 spoonfuls and threw it away.

I may try it again

I might be good for dips or in a recipe

No pudge!! Fudge Brownies

I couldn't believe my eyes... I have been trying all kinds of new things and thought why not??? I wasn't sure how they would be or if I could pass them off as a good brownie. But here goes:

Combine brownie mix and 2/3 cup of vanilla non-fat yogurt together. If you don't have vanilla yogurt use plain with a tsp of vanilla. Mix will be thick.

Grease 8x8 pan (I didn't have an 8x8 so I used a smaller rectangular pan). Bake @ 350 for 20 minutes.

Over course I didn't take a picture of them baked. They were nice and chewy in the center and crispy on the edges (which I love). I had my friend try them that is a chocolate lover he loved them. When I told him they are good for you he was shocked.

I purchased the fudge and a mint flavor I have tried the fudge and I would make it again. I found these at the Christmas Tree Shop I looked at the web site and I don't show any local store's that carry it all the time in my area but you can order them online.

Soy me the chicken

Chik'n is the perfect way to add a little awesome to your dinner. Seasoned breading makes them crispy and delicious. Inside, they're tender and juicy. And because this chik'n is made with soy, you get a low fat source of protein.

Nutritional Facts: 11g protein, 0 mg cholesterol, 0 g trans fat, 160 calories, 2 g fiber, 6 g fat. WW pts = 3

My review is I will be eating them over and over. They taste just like a chicken patty!! I loved it. I made a sandwich with Arnold sandwich thins. Perfect lunch.

Boca has several items in the soy line: burgers, burger crumbles, veggie patty, breakfast and entrees. What should I try next...........

I am starting to love trying new things!!!!!

Light & Fit

I like yogurt but was getting very tried of it until...... Light & Fit pineapple coconut!!! I was told it was good but this was so refreshing. It also has pieces of pineapple which I love!! Locally I can only find it a Wegmans. I also heard they have another great new flavor of coconut vanilla. That's will be my next flavor to try. So if you are in a yogurt rut try the new flavors of light & fit!

Fiber One- Review

First things first.....Like my new stove! You can see I took the picture before I removed the instructions from the oven door. I couldn't wait any longer. Carl had just finished making the final adjustments to make it fit perfectly.

Today will be my first review of a product. I made Fiber One Banana muffins. I have been a fan of Fiber One products for a while. I have tried pancake mix, Cinnamon pop tart and some of the fiber bars. I have liked all the products so far. I saw this mix in Target the other day and thought why not....

I simply followed the directions on the back of the box. I did notice one thing right off the bat. You can see the nuts in the batter!!!! In most box products if it states it has nuts they chop them so fine you can't see them. I wouldn't say it was nut heaven but noticeable.


I evenly scooped (I use a large cookie scoop) the batter into a 12 cup muffin tin. I didn't have muffin papers so I just sprayed the pan with PAM. In the oven for 15 minutes.

They look good. Nice and golden.

DONE!! Did I mention my new stove works great! They are golden and sprung back when I touched the tops.

Once they cooled for 5 minutes I removed from the pan to let them cool more. They smelled so good. I cut one opened and placed some banana on the plate. Yummy, Yummy!

My final recommendation........5 kitchen spoons! I would make these again. The flavor was good I could taste and see the nuts and it was easy. But most of all it was easy. I made them before I came to work. What a great way to start off the day.

I hope you will find my recommendation helpful!!
