Chocbite Review

I was given the opportunity to try the service that Chocbite provides. Chocbite is a website where you have the chance to build your own chocolate bar...practically anyway your want it! Doesn't that sound like fun?!?! I thought it was a blast. The most difficult part was choosing between all the delicious toppings that they offer. I chose butterscotch pieces, caramel bits, heath pieces, peanut butter chips and macadamia nuts. Can you say yummy?!?!?


Chocbite also offers specialty Chocbars taking the guesswork out of yummy combinations. One of the specialty bars that sounds interesting to me is the Mexican Chocbar. The Mexican has piquin pepper, spicy mango, jalapeno salt and cayenne on it. I am not big on spicy but I know a lot of people who would love this unique combination.

Chocbite Chocbars make a great personalized gift. A fantastic idea for father's day! They also have gift certificates available if you are not quite sure what combination to make that special someone.

The generous folks at Chocbite have offered Cute Stuff readers a discount on their yummy chocolate! Use the code CHOCBITE20 for 20% off any order. And even better this code is good through the end of this year.

I was given a Chocbite Chocbar to facilitate this review. All opinions in this post are mine and mine alone. Thanks so much to Chocbite for the chance to sample their yummy product.

Walk Like You Have Somewhere to Go (Review)

I recently discovered a book review program called Book Sneeze. The program is run by Thomas Nelson publishing. Book Sneeze sends out books to read and then you post a honest review. I was excited to receive my first book to review called "Walk Like You Have Somewhere To Go" written by Lucille O'Neal. Ms. O'Neal is the mother of NBA superstar Shaquille O'Neal. Ms. O'Neal recounts parts of her life from childhood to the present and talks about lessons she learned along the way. Ms. O'Neal talks in detail about how her faith and family impacted her life and decisions.

I enjoyed reading "Walk Like You Have Someplace To Go" mostly because of the positive tone Ms. O'Neil used. However, I could not help but wonder how many women have gone through the same or similar circumstances but have not had the fortune to end up with a son in the NBA, or the opportunity for a book deal.

I do recommend this book but not because it is about Shaquille O'Neal's mom but rather because it is a poignant story of a woman overcoming challenges in her life and staying positive along the way.

I received this book to review courtesy of Thomas Nelson as a part of their Booksneeze.com program. The opinions in the post are mine and mine alone. I was under no obligation to give the book a positive review.

Ocean Nasal Products Review

I suffer from seasonal allergies. Living in the Midwest we actually have distinct seasons and allergies are a common problem. I have used saline sprays in the past with little positive results, so when I received an offer to try OCEAN Products I jumped at the chance to see if their products could help me more. I am glad I decided to give them a try because I have definitely seen positive results so far. I have been using the Ocean Complete Sinus Irrigation system for over a week and I feel less nasal pressure. The best thing is that I have had to blow my nose less often, and when I do have to blow my nose it feels easier and looser to get rid of the yuckies in there. Hope I didn't gross you out with the image of me blowing my nose, but hey, we all have to do it right?


Here is a some more information about OCEAN from the company:
OCEAN Complete Sinus Irrigation provides natural, positive pressure sinus irrigation and/or soothing nasal moisturizing in a non-medicated nasal spray with no drug side effects. Its sterile, pre-mixed saline is ready to use for sufferers of sinus and nasal congestion, dry nose, colds and allergies. OCEAN Complete is non-medicated, preservative free and can be used as often as needed without the concern of drug side effects. OCEAN complete sinus irrigation is a two-in-one product for help in relieving and soothing nasal and/or sinus congestion and dryness with one easy-to-use complete product. A special nasal saline streaming nozzle (orange tip) is utilized for nasal irrigation, and a nasal mist applicator (white tip) provides nasal moisturizing.

If you are in the market for a product like this I say give OCEAN products a try.

I received complementary products from Ocean to facilitate this review. No monetary compensation was received. Follow all manufacturer's directions for use. All opinions in this post are mine and mine alone.

One eskimO Review

Have you heard of the band One eskimO? I had not heard of them, but I was given the chance to review their self-titled debut album and I am loving it! Sometimes I feel like I am stuck in a music rut. Listening to the same thing or versions of the same thing over and over again. One eskimO has a unique sound to their songs ~ not what I tend to hear on the radio. This is a GOOD thing though. I appreciate that there is meaning behind their lyrics and you can actually understand the words to the songs. My favorite song on the album is definitely 'Kandi' so I am not at all surprised that 'Kandi' has been the most played song on adult rock radio this month.

One eskimO recently kicked off their tour so if you are in or near the tour sites you can check them out.

Thanks to One2One Network for the chance to review this unique CD. I enjoy finding new music and spreading the word. I was given the One eskimO CD to review. The opinions stated above are not influenced in any way and are solely mine. I would love to hear what you think about One eskimO. Give them a listen and share what you think in the comments below.

Stamp Out Hunger

The Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive is Saturday, May 8th....which is TODAY! All you have to do is leave non perishable food outside in bags. Your mail carrier will collect the items and the post office will donate them to local food banks to help the community. This is an easy way to help out especially if you have extra things around the house. I have several boxes of cereal to donate. I always seem to buy too much cereal when there are good deals and coupons and hopefully they can help out a family in need. Please consider donating if you are in a position to do so.

There is also another way you can help that everyone can do for free. Campbell's Soup is donating one can of soup for every person who joins the Stamp Out Hunger Facebook Page. I am a fan!!! A great way that everyone can help our neighbors in need.

First Friday Follow of May
