Rachel Ray Nutrish For Cats - Natural food for cats review and giveaway ends 8-18 #NutrishforCats #Sponsered #MC

“I participated in an Influencer Activation Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Nutrish for Cats. I received a sample of Nutrish for Cats to facilitate this review and a promotional item to thank me for participating.”

There are alot of people that have pets but not me I have two fur babies. They are part of my family and are spoiled, loved and taken care of. People may think I am weird but I love my cats, I talk to them and care about everything the are exposed to. That why when I got the change to try out Nutrish for Cats by Rachel Ray I could wait to try it. It is all natural food for cats. The first natural cat food from Rachael Ray Nutrish. Real meat like chicken or fish is the #1 ingredient in these delicious recipes. There's never any junk like meat poultry by-product meal, artificial flavors or preservatives. Just simple, wholesome recipes with a great taste your cat will instinctively love. Look for these wholesome recipes available in dry formulas and wet formulas with fun flavors like Chicken Purrcata, Ocean Fish-alicious and Lip Smackin’ Sardine and Mackerel plus so many more awesome flavors to chose from. Did you hear that the #1 ingrediant is real meat! That is important to me and my cats.

I am very picky when it comes to feeding my cats but I also have to be frugal as well being a family of 8 and two fur babies on a one income living. I have watched Rachel Ray on TV making delish food that makes my mouth water. I just love her cooking style so know she has sat down with veternarians and scientists to figure out the best way to make a healthy cat food makes me comfortable knowing this food is safe for my cats. When the box arrived me and my cats could wait to explore what was in it. If you know cats then you know they are easy to please. My cats played with the box, The string that was tied around the bag of dry food, and their favorite was the awesome catnip sachet. We got a bag of dry food and a couple containers of wet food as well. I also got some delicious brown rice and some easy yummy recipes to make my family. This package was a winner for everyone!

So we filled the cats bowls with the dry food and I swear my cats thought we were filling their bowl with delicious treats. They couldn't get enough! Later that night we gave them some of the wet food. Honestly when I opened it you would of thought it was meant for humans not cats. You could see the real chunks of chicken. They flavor we tried first was Chicken Purrcata and it smelled great compared of the others that actual smell like cat food. They gobbled it up in no time and were asking for more haha. My cats were in heaven. I never seen them like their food as much as this. I loved reading the ingrediants and actually reconizing what was in it and thinking this is so great and healthy for my babies.

I also made a delish meal from the brown rice and I bought some Salmon and dived into making Rachel Ray's Smoky Maple-Glazed Salmon Supper. This recipe was easy and quick which is important for me a full time student and mommy to 6. It was done within 30 minutes and tasted like we went out to eat. It was fabulous. I will post the recipe blow because you definitely have to try it!

Overall we were very impressed with Rachel Ray's Nutrish super premium natural food For Cats! My cats loved it and I loved giving it to them. Now I can not worry that they are eating something that may harm them. This is one happy momma! If you have some sweet fur babies of your own you have to check out Nutrish for cats and dogs.

Smoky Maple-Glaze Salmon Supper 

 Ingredients 
 1 cup brown or white rice
1 bundle watercress or upland cress (2 cups), stemmed and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), divided
4 medium to large carrots or multi-colored farmer's market carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1/4 teaspoon all-natural liquid smoke
1/2 cup dark amber maple syrup
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
4 salmon fillets, skin removed (8 ounces each)
2 teaspoons Old Bay seafood seasoning
2 cups frozen sweet peas
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup chives, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions 
 Preheat broiler. Prepare the rice according to package directions. When done, fluff with a fork and combine with chopped watercress leaves.

Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon EVOO. Add carrots to the pan and season with salt and pepper. Saute until tender-crisp, about six to seven minutes. Set aside.

In a small pot, combine liquid smoke, maple syrup, and vinegar and bring to a boil. Reduce over high heat, stirring constantly for two minutes. Remove from heat.

Season salmon with salt, pepper, and Old Bay seafood seasoning. (I love Old Bay so I used more than the recommended 2 teaspoons!)

Heat the remaining EVOO in a large, ovensafe, nonstick skillet and cook salmon, top side down for 3-4 minutes. Flip and pour the maple syrup glaze over the top of the fish and place under the broiler for three minutes to caramelize the glaze.

In the pan with the carrots, add the peas and heat through while the fish is under the broiler.

Add the butter and chives to the veggies. When the butter has melted, turn off the heat.

Serve the salmon with the peas and carrots and rice with watercress alongside.

Vemme Nutrition- #review #health #VEMME #Bod.e

School is almost back in and we are all out there scrabbling to get that last bit of summer fun in and also out starting school shopping. It is a very hecktic time and it is harder to figure out what to eat and making sure it is healthy and that we are all getting in the nutrients we need. Thats where Vemma Nutrition company comes in to help you. They have some many different drinks for your whole family to enjoy and then you can relax and know even though you grabbed a burger for lunch you still got the nutrients you need.

Info From the Company: From toddlers and teens, to spouses and grandparents, juggling the nutritional needs for each member of your family can be quite difficult. As such, I wanted to introduce you to the Vemma Nutrition Company, a premium liquids leader that offers nutritious beverages the entire family can enjoy.
The Vemma Nutrition Company has a variety of beverages for everyone in your family:

• Vemma Renew - an ultra premium beverage for moms who are looking to maintain healthy skin, hair and nails
• Vemma NEXT - a nutritional 2oz beverage for children ages 2-12 years old
• Bod.ē - a weight loss and meal supplement line for the dad (or mom) who loves to hit the gym and stay trim
• Verve - a healthy energy beverage line for teens who need that extra boost throughout their grueling school days
• Vemma Original - an ultra-premium antioxidant supplement ensuring grandparents they're getting the essential nutrients they need

I got the opportunity to try these out and give my opinion. The first one we tried was the Vemma NEXT which is suitable for kids 2-12. I made sure to serve it cold because honestly it isnt as appealing warm lol. It smelled like a orange pineapple juice. My kids drank it without any complaints and I didnt have to force them to try it so thats a good sign lol. I was glad it was healthy and contained alot of great vitamins and nutrients my kids need in their busy and active life. This was definitely a good thing!

Me and my husband tried the others . Vemma Renew wasnt too bad tasting and I was glad it wasnt too big either. It tastes great cold and it is small enough to chug if you have to. Since I only tried one I am not sure if it helped my skin ad hair and nails but I do know some of the ingrediants in it are proven to help those things so if taken regular I can see it helping. Verve smelled like a vitamin pineapple juice. Honestly I didnt like the smell at all but the taste honestly wasnt bad. It was very bearable. It was small enough you could sip it and finish it before it got warm or just chug it and be done. It did give me some natural energy with all the vitamin b6 and b12. I had no crash and no headache which was awesome. My oldest said she didnt really like the taste but it wasnt horrible and she liked she could chug it and it helped her get the boost she needed. I loved the Bod.e shakes, cleanse, and thirst and I wish I could try the bod.e burn now. I am a huge Chis Powell fan and these are products he uses and recommends. The shakes are tasty and keep you full for hours. I like to blend them with water, ice and a banana and it tastes like a shake. The thirst is great for those hot days you are out hiking and lose alot of your electrolytes. It will replenish them and make you feel rejuvinated.

Overall I am impressed with Vemma products that I have tried. Since I only tried one of each I cant say if some of the things they say it does is true but I know with some though I felt more energized and felt overall just better. So if your looking for something to add to your diets and to help make sure you and your family are getting the nutrients they need check out Vemma products!

Clean Well Botanical Wipes review

With all the people over for the holidays germs and messes are everywhere. This is why we love cleaning wipes. I mean nothing is easier than grabing a wipe and wiping everything up and done. No more grabbing a germ filled rag or sponge when you can have a fresh clean wipe. We got some Clean Well wipes to try out. This is one of the brands we use alot because it is chemical free and we love that.

These wipes are formulated with a patented formulation of thyme oil that kills over 99.9% of germs botanically on hard, non-porous surfaces. EPA registered, these wipes are both antibacterial and antiviral. The CleanWell Botanical Surface Disinfecting Wipes come in fresh lemon and citrus scents. They are also are suitable to use around the whole family (including pets!). They do not contain synthetic fragrances, dyes, ammonia, alcohol or chlorine and have no fine print, cautionary statements or first aid warnings.

When I got these I put them right to work. They cleaned awesomely and I felt reassured that everything was disinfected. The only thing I notices was the smell. They don't smell like lemon but more of a hospital disinfectant smell. I wish the smell was a little better but even with the smell I honestly would still use this brand over the harsh chemical brand wipes anyday. Its great knowing we are taking precaution from bacterial and viral germs without harming ourselves with the harsh chemicals. So if you use Disinfectant wipes you have to check out Clean Well Botanical Disinfecting Wipes. You will be glad you did! Also these make perfect gifts for teachers this time of year!

Sneaky Chef Foods

Do your kids fight you to eat healthy or to eat their vegetables? I have been pretty lucky with my kids they all love most vegetables but there are a few it took them a bit to warm up to. The hardest one for me to get my kids to eat like squash and zucchini. I have started making foods with them in it to where they don't know they are in there. So when I heard about Sneaky Chef Foods I had to check it out!

Sneaky Chef Foods is a new nutritious line of foods designed to improve children’s health by helping parents easily feed their kids the veggies they need in the foods they already love. Kids usually love spagetti and peanut butter and jelly so why not sneak it into foods like that? Well thats what Sneaky Chef Foods did!

The Sneaky Chef Pasta Sauces are made with tomatoes and eight hidden veggies include cauliflower, zucchini, carrots, sweet potatoes, bell peppers, yellow squash, celery, and onion. These versatile and convenient sauces contain a full serving of vegetables in every 1/2 cup and are available in two delicious flavors, including Smooth Red and Cheesy Red.

The Sneaky Chef No-Nut-Butter is 100 percent peanut, tree nut, gluten free, BPA free, no artifical flavors or colors and soy free spreads made from naturally sweet and nutty golden peas that are perfect for kids, especially those who suffer from nut allergies. This product is ideal for sandwiches, cookies or straight out of the jar.

Our Opinion:
My older 4 weren't fond of the No-Nut butter. They said you can definitely tell its not peanut butter. The younger 2 ate it and didn't say anything about it so apparently if they noticed they didn't care lol. The sauces were ok though. My kids ate it and said it taste like spagetti sauce with a little different after taste but it was still good and they would eat it again. Overall I think for younger kids who haven't experience the other stuff as long or for kids allergic to nuts thses are awesome. I will buy the sauce again but probably not the No-Nut butter but this would be great alternative for allergies! So pick up some Sneaky Chef Foods today adn get your kids eating their vegetables!

FucoThin Green Review

I am honestly not a great dieter or exerciser. Its not that I don't like it: it's that I have no motivation. I love yummy healthy foods like salads, soups and fruits and veggies. I could eat them all day everyday but then I get bored or out someplace and see a candy bar or donut and think well its fast and easy and one isn't too bad. Then with exercise I get bored easily! I love the feeling of working out and exercising and going for walks but I so need a dependable workout buddy!

Eco Nuts Soap Nuts- A natural way to clean your cloths without chemicals

There are alot of people who use laundry detergent every day and they may or may not be aware that there is a cancer causing chemical that can be found in most detergents. Many of us do not know the long term consequences of continued used of these products but there is an safe and natural alternative.

Consumers can avoid harsh detergents and fabric softeners with Eco Nuts, an all-natural detergent of berries that grow in the Himalayas that naturally produce soap. The soap is saponin, a natural cleaner that works as a surfactant to clean your clothes just as your regular detergent would except it is an organic product and safer to use for your family. Eco Nuts are gentle on both clothes and skin, making them ideal for those with sensitive skin, eczema, allergies and psoriasis. Because they are so mild, they are perfect for baby clothes and cloth diapers. All-Natural Eco Nuts are also great for septic and grey water systems.

So now that all sounds great right but you want to know how they work, at least I would want to know! So I got some of the Eco Nuts to try out and I was immediately intrigued. You get a plain small drawstring bag that you put 4-5 of the Eco nuts in then toss in washing machine with your dirty cloths. When wash is done pull the bag out and set to dry for next use. Each bag of 4-5 nuts can be used up to 10 times before you put new nut in. So the save some money as well.

So first I try them on my towels. Being summer my towels are piling up in the laundry room from all the swimming. I put the bag of nuts in and then the towels in and started the washing machine. This doesn't foam up with bubbles and is scent free so you definitely cant tell if they are getting clean from that. So I waited until they were finished washing and inspected them. They honestly looked clean but it was hard to tell because they were not real dirty when they went in.Then I put them in the dryer and let the Eco nuts dry for another load. I was surprised to see how soft and fluffy my towels were after they dried. You would of thought I put fabric softener in but I didn't. So I loved that.

Lastly I wanted to see if it effected my youngest excema. She has allergies to most soaps and detergents so I wanted to make sure this didn't trigger her allergies. I was glad to see they didn't and she was able to use the stuff I was with these new Eco Nuts. So overall I was impressed with how these worked especially since they really don't look like they would just being dried up fruit looking things. So if your into the green organic living or want to live healthier without all the harsh chemicals or have allergies you should definitely check out Eco Nuts!
