Up Front Foods Granola

So I was excited to receive a week's worth of granola from Upfront Foods a couple weeks ago. I fell in love upon opening the box. First the size is great -- they only sell their product in 1.4 oz bags so that it doesn't go to waste or get stale once you open it.. And it helps with portion control since you're only getting 1/2 cup at a time. Second, their logo is super fun and literal. For someone like myself (and many of you I'm sure) I'm constantly standing in the grocery store looking at the back of the box/can/carton/bag that I'm buying. Not with Upfront Granola though -- everything you need is literally on the front! That's a company that has nothing to hide.





Ok, so on to taste. I was running late the other morning and grabbed a bag for my purse before running out the door. I opened it up easily at a stop light and peered in. At first I was kind of bummed that it wasn't more 'cluster-y' so that I could eat it while driving, but that's probably a good thing :) I did stick my nose in the bag though and the smell was great. A little bit different than any other that I've tried. Think it was the orange peel powder.




After almost 45 minutes of looking at the bag and hearing my stomach growl, I finally got to my destination and dived in. It was definitely some of the best that I've tasted. I love the ingredient list and could definitely taste some of the little 'extras' that you don't find in other granolas. I also like that it had 4g of protein and 16% of my daily dietary fiber.(Organic Whole Grain Oats, Pecans, Almonds, Maple Syrup, Brown Sugar, Flaxseed Meal, Canola Oil, Organic Orange Peel Powder, Sea Salt)

I'm also excited that this company is out of Boca Raton, FL. Being raised in Florida most of my life -- and seeing most healthy foods that I've researched coming out of California, it's nice to have a little FL pride! The final rundown on Upfront Nutty Granola -- it's kosher, all natural, no preservatives or artificial ingredients and it's non-GMO certified. It isn't gluten free though because of it's oats, but it is wheat free.

Kat's Naturals Pure CBD Oil Review

Image
Kat's Naturals sent me over bottles of their CBD oils to try out. I want to disclose that I personally did not use the oils. This review is based from my grandpa. My Grandpa suffers with severe pain all the time from arthritis, not sleeping due to pain, and many other things. He recently started using CBD oil and immediately noticed a HUGE difference in pain and his sleeping patterns. Once Kat's Naturals said they would work with me, I knew I had to give them to him to try.                                                                             The 2 oils they sent me were Heal and Relax. Heal is flavored with peppermint and Relax with orange.  This the Heal oil. It is 1500mg CBD per ounce which is the strongest my grandpa had ever used. He had only used 300mg before. My grandpa was so cute, he called me to tell me how he liked it, he even offered to type something up for me. He really is the cutest! He told me "I have used 3 other companies CBD oil

QALO rings

QALO was very kind and sent me 2 of their rings to review. I received one female and one male ring in the color slate. QALOs rings are very unique, they are a silicone band that comes in so many colors. QALO is perfect for anyone, especially those who are active.                                                      QALO even offers personalization! If you and your significant other have pet names or a special date that's important to you; you can pick out your favorite QAO ring and they will engrave the inside of it for you.                                       QALO offers so many options, and colors. They even sell a line of rings that donates part of the money made from sales to different law enforcement, firefighters, etc. My favorite thing about QALO is how comfortable their rings are. You don't have to worry about working hard and losing a diamond, or scratching the gold. Its silicone, super budget friendly, and the variety means everyone can find something they l

It's time for another  Nadine West review.                                                                         This 3 quarter length shirt is so cute. I love the details on the front. This pairs with leggings and jeans which is perfect. The picture of this doesn't do it justice. This wine colored top has peek-a-boo shoulders. It has ruffles around the chest . Its fitted at the bottom which lays beautifully on your waist. This is my favorite top I received this month. This grey sweater was a close 2nd for me. The back has this adorable crisscross pattern that adds the perfect touch. This is also the softest sweater this month. This short sleeve shirt is so cute for not only the winter, but year round. I love the slits on top of the sleeves. It adds some simple details that takes it from a plain t-shirt to a cute one. My husband is a HUGE space buff. I showed him these and he said these are his favorite leggings I own now. LOL As always, the
