A Taste Challenge: Yoplait vs. Chobani

April 18, 2014

Thanks to Yoplait for sponsoring today’s post. All opinions are 100% my own (and my husband’s).

Most of you know I had a baby boy almost 6 months ago. I struggled getting off the last bit of baby weight for a couple of months until I finally put my foot down and started eating healthier and exercising every day. I didn’t start a “diet,” but I changed my lifestyle. Yoplait was definitely involved in this change. I love yogurt, especially for breakfast or to mix in shakes.

When I was offered the opportunity to participate in the Yoplait Greek 100 Strawberry yogurt vs. Chobani Simply 100 Strawberry challenge, it was a no brainer! I couldn’t wait to find out the best Greek yogurt. I pulled my husband into the Yoplait Taste Test as well. After blindfolding him, he tasted each yogurt. Here were the results:

First up: Yoplait Greek 100 Strawberry

Next up: Chobani Simply 100 Strawberry

And the winner is:

YOPLAIT!!! By …a lot. No offense to Chobani, but Ryan didn’t care for it at all, and after trying them both for myself, I couldn’t agree more. Chobani had a bit of a sour taste to it and the Yoplait yogurt had a much stronger strawberry taste which is the whole point of buying flavored yogurt, right? Congratulations, Yoplait!

Yoplait Greek 100 contains only 100 calories and is available in 12 flavors. It is a perfect healthy choice to add to any diet.

Floral Prints and Lipstick

March 20, 2014

I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.

Springtime is here! Yea! I love this time of year because everything comes back to life and becomes so colorful! It is beautiful. You know that I am partial to the fall season, but I am allergic to all things winter (other than boots and scarves). So naturally, I get pretty excited by the time Spring rolls around. I love the warmth that thaws me out after the harsh winter.

I love that floral print is in again this year and I’m excited to be able to bring all of the bright colors back into my wardrobe and style. In the last year, I’ve been so intrigued/addicted/in love with lipstick. I’ve added about 4 new shades to my collection just in the last month. I have a feeling I’ll be wearing it a lot this season.

When Influenster sent me the new Moisture Renew Lipstick by Rimmel London Voxbox, I was ecstatic! I love trying new products and it is pretty awesome being able to try a different color I might not have been brave enough to buy myself. The color I received is “As You Want Victoria.” It is a bright and fun color, perfect for spring.

I love this lipstick! It is very moisturizing which is something that is important to me when buying lip products. I also love the shade! It will go great with those floral prints and bright colors that I’ll be wearing now. I’m so excited to show off my bold new lip color!

Misikko: A Flat Iron Review

August 9, 2013

When I was contacted by Misikko to do a review of the Hana Pro 1″ Flat Iron, I was ecstatic. I have seen a couple of other bloggers review this product and I couldn’t wait to try it out myself.

First off, I have terrible hair. It is frizzy and curly. Half of the time, I give up on it and end up throwing some gel in it and calling it a day. I have been using a hair straightener that has been okay. It has lasted a while but it has definitely run it’s course on my doo. Example:

Gross, right?

I received my box from Misikko and let’s just say they spoiled me. Not only did I receive the incredible flat iron, they also included a brush, silicone mat, hand sanitizer, nail files, E.L.F. lip gloss, eye shadow and eyelash curler. This would make a perfect gift for birthdays or Christmas.

So here is why I loved this hair straightener: It heats up to 450° and heats very quickly. It also has a 2 year warranty which is pretty rare these days. But the best part? It worked wonders on my hair. My hair didn’t feel all dry and hay-like after using it. It felt and looked soft. It also made my hair less frizzy than my old straightener. Instead of going over it multiple times, I only had to do it once. I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a new flat iron.

Here is a picture of my hair a few hours after I used the Hana flat iron:

HUGE difference.

A huge thanks to Misikko and Hana for letting me try your product.
