My Thoughts

Lets face it, there are a lot of options out there breakfast wise. It can get overwhelming standing in the breakfast aisle at your local grocery store. One thing that stands out to me is the Quaker Soft Baked Bar. When you warm up it up in the microwave, it literally melts in your mouth.  When I found out that it was a healthy way to start your day, it was the icing on the cake for me. It is a great thing to throw in your bag for a snack at work, school, or anywhere.  It tastes great, and leaves you feeling full.

My thoughts:

Discussing feminine products is a delicate issue, so I won't beat around the bush. As a woman, I want a product that will give me great protection and won't cost me a arm and a leg.  Always and Tampax have come up with a Radiant collection that is very comfortable to use. It was easy to apply and gave me the protection I needed so I could go about my day to day activities. I love that they have resealable wrappers so that they are easy to dispose of.  Both Tampax and Always Radiant Collection products are a great value, they are often on sale and I find coupons for them regularly.

My Thoughts
I have been a fan of the Hawaiian Tropic fan for years. My family goes to the beach, and we have a cabin on a lake that we visit several times in the summer. I have tried a variety of sun tan lotions over the years, and Hawaiian Tropics is the best quality I can find out there.  It does a great job of keeping your skin moisturized and really absorbs into your skin well unlike some of the other brands.  One of my favorite things about this product is how well it smells, I hate a sunscreen that has a bad smell to it, and this product has a great scent that invites you in to give it a try. It felt like I was putting lotion on instead of sun screen, and did a good job of keeping my skin protected from the sun all afternoon at the beach.
