Hershey’s Spread Review

I was one of the lucky people to be chosen to try Hershey's Spread from Crowdtap before it was even out in stores. However, there was a long delay in shipping, due to the holidays and weather. So I actually got it after it had already hit the shelves.

There are 3 flavors available for this spread. The flavors are Hershey's Chocolate Spread, Hershey's Chocolate with Almond, and Hershey's Chocolate with Hazelnut. I received the Chocolate Hershey's Spread. I really want to try the almonds and chocolate one too because I love chocolate and almonds. It sounds so yummy!

The first thing I did was taste it with a spoon. I know....I know but I had too. I wanted to know what it tasted like all by its self. I was not disappointed either. It tastes very chocolaty and rich. It is thick but also creamy. It spreads quite easily when using a butter knife on toast and crackers. However, it was more difficult when trying to spread it on fruit. It got a little messy too, but that's to be expected. I had to wash my hands a lot when I was trying to take pictures of the different foods I tasted with this spread. I also found it was harder to use this spread as a dip because it is so thick. So it was best for me to use a butter knife when trying to spread this, especially on moist or wet types of food, such as bananas, apples, and oranges. It is easier to spread on dry foods, such as crackers and toast with a butter knife. Either way though, it tasted good on everything I tried it on.

I really didn't think it would taste that good on crackers but I was so wrong. The saltiness of the cracker and the sweetness of Hershey's Chocolate Spread was a perfect combination. The snacks were delicious. My favorite were the fruit though. Maybe that's just because I have always loved chocolate and fruit together. I'm not sure but I thoroughly enjoyed this product with fruit.

I also put a banana slice with Hershey's spread on top of a Townhouse cracker and I loved it. I thought it was really good. Again, I was expecting to NOT like this combination but I actually did like it. I was pleasantly pleased. There are a whole bunch of different pairings that can be done with Hershey's Spread. I tried it with apples, bananas, oranges, crackers, and even carrots. I didn't have celery or I would have tried that too. I loved all these combinations, even the carrots. It was nice and crunchy with a chocolaty flavor. I think kids would really like this on some of the vegetables that they don't like to eat. If you go to http://www.hersheys.com/spreads/, you will find all kinds of ideas and recipes you can use with Hershey's Chocolate Spreads.

I did discover that I could only eat a small amount of this at one time because it is rich and chocolaty. It can feel like you've been eating too much candy, if  you over do it. What's great though, is if you want something sweet but don't want to go to the store, you can just take a spoonful of this and savor it slowly and your sweet tooth will probably be gone. It worked for me. :) You can also easily spice up your boring snacks by just adding a little bit of Hershey's spread to whatever your eating and it will make a huge difference in a delicious way. I think Hershey's Chocolate spread is a wonderful treat and is great for using with snacks.

There are still other recipes and foods that I have not had a chance to try yet, with Hershey's Spread. I can't wait to try this on more foods. I am even thinking about possible baking that I could use this spread in.

Try the Cottonelle Clean Care Routine!

I was fortunate to be selected to join the Cottonelle Clean Care Routine Sample and Share from Crowdtap!
What I received was:

• one 18 pack of Cottonelle toilet paper, 
• two 4 packs of Cottonelle toilet paper
• 3 tubs of Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes

I was so excited to be part of this Cottonelle Clean Care routine sample and share. I personally used Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes before I joined this sample and share. I already had great things to say about their wipes but now I get to share some with my friends.

Cottonelle has made some good points in their commercials too, like you wouldn't want to shower without water so why would you want to wipe with toilet paper alone. Another example is, using toilet paper without moist wipes is like washing your car without water. They have some really funny commercials I laugh everytime I watch these ads. If you haven't seen them yet, then I highly recommend you go to Cottonelle Test Your Cleaning Logic where you can see some of their ads and also learn more information about the Cottonelle Clean Care routine.

We all want to be clean after we use the restroom, especially if we went number 2. Well dry wiping with toilet paper only doesn't get us as clean as most people would like to be. However, it often isn't something most people think about. So Cottonelle is trying to raise everyone's awareness to the fact that without most wipes you are just dry wiping.

Since I've been using the Cottonelle Clean Care routine, I couldn't imagine going back to toilet paper alone. It makes sense to me now that I wasn't getting as clean as I thought I was when I used only toilet paper. I love the feeling of being completely clean and fresh right after I use the restroom with Cottonelle toilet paper and Cottonelle Fresh Care Flushable Wipes.  It's almost like a mini shower but for your most intimate and private parts. I have no doubt afterwards that I am completely clean.

 I highly recommend Cottonelle Clean Care routine. I will never go back to toilet paper alone.

YumEarth Naturals Sour Beans

YumEarth Naturals Sour Beans are chewy, sour, and simply a great snack for satisfying that sweet tooth. I didn't feel it was too sour either, which is what I thought it would be. It was the perfect amount of sour. I liked the flavor and chewy texture of Sour Beans. What's awesome is they are made with all natural ingredients with no artificial flavors or colors. It is also gluten free and each serving gives you 100% vitamin C. I thought that was a cool and yummy way to get your vitamin C. The only thing I noticed about these that were odd was, I couldn't really tell the difference between the flavors. To me they all tasted alike. It was a good taste; I just didn't notice much difference between the sour beans. I would highly recommend these sour beans for anyone who likes sour candy and the texture of jellybeans. Unfortunately, I do not know the selling price of YumEarth Naturals Sour Beans. You can find out more about YumEarth Naturals Sour Beans by clicking HERE.

KISS NAIL DRESS

***I received a free complimentary Kiss Nail Dress product for testing and reviewing from Influenster. I will not be paid for making this review. This review is 100% my own opinions and thoughts.***

The following is a description from Influenster.com describing this product. 

Fashion That Sticks

Introducing Kiss Nail Dress, ultimate nail fashion for tips and toes! Just peel, apply, and shape for a manicure that lasts up to 10 days. On in minutes, off in seconds without remover. Nail Dress is available in 18 different styles, many of them featuring 3-dimensional jeweled designs. Check out Peplum, a deep black with multi-colored gems for a pop of color, or Babydoll, for a golden and glamorous jeweled look. Skip the topcoat, Nail Dress has it built in.With 28 strips in each package, you can cut up your extras to create designs that can be used on top of polished or artificial nails. Nail Dress doesn’t dry out the way other polish strips can, so you can save them to use on your next DIY mani. A nail design booklet is included in each package, just in case you need a little inspiration.


This was my first time trying anything like this since I was a kid putting little stickers on my fingers. Therefore, I was honestly a little skeptical that I would like this product. Kiss Nail Dress claims that it can last up to 10 days on your nails. That made me more skeptical but I was going to try it and see how well they really worked.

• The first thing I noticed immediately was how sparkly and eye catching the design was. I received Cocktail, which is pink with tiny diamond (not real of course) stripes, sort of like zebra stripes but in pink only with diamonds. The little diamonds never fell off either. They are totally part of the Nail Dress and should never fall off.
• You want to make sure you clean and dry your hands really well before you apply the stickers. You may want to use finger nail polish remover too but I did not. Definitely make sure you have no lotion on at all or the product will not stick to your nails. That is why I recommend you wash your hands real good to make sure any old residue of lotion is removed.
• They were easy for me to apply. They make the Nail Dress stickers long on purpose so you can use them if you have long nails or artificial nails. I found it was easier for me to cut the extra length of with scissors and then take a file and file the rest at the edge of my nail where the sticker starts to go underneath my nail so that I could make sure it covered the entire nail. It was as if I was filing my own nails.

• My Outcome
• Wow!! It was easier then I thought it would be to apply.
• They stayed on longer then 10 days. I took mine off at 11 days, simply because they were starting to look dirty.
• They are fun for a night out of town.
• They are very girly and noticeable.
• I got many compliments.
• Kiss Nail Dress has many designs and colors to choose from. I hope you find one you really like too. Visit KissNailDress.com to learn more!
