Blue Stripes, Whole Cacao Dark Chocolate Bar, Pure Dark, made with the entire cacao pod Social Nature Review
5/5 stars
"My husband and I enjoyed eating the Blue Stripes, Whole Cacao Dark Chocolate Bar, Pure Dark, made with the entire cacao pod chocolate bar. It was not very sweet, but it does say the flavor is pure dark, 70% cacao with no refined sugar. So, I shouldn't have been expecting that there would be a sweetness to it. Even though it wasn't very sweet it was still very tasty. We ate it all in the same sitting. I love the ingredient list, very simple. I thought the serving size was good. The packaging is fun and minimal. I thought it was interesting how this chocolate bar has extra vitamins listed in its nutritional and that the label pointed that fact out to me. I would recommend this product, and I would also consider purchasing it again. The Fresh Market isn't as close to me as other supermarkets which would be the main deterrent."

Circle Stencil Template for Drawing and Drafting: A Fibonacci-Inspired Circle Template for Drawing Tool for Artists Allows The Simple Application of The Golden or Divine Ratio for Artistic Design Amazon Review
5/5 stars
I purchased Circle Stencil Template for Drawing and Drafting: A Fibonacci-Inspired Circle Template for Drawing Tool for Artists Allows The Simple Application of The Golden or Divine Ratio for Artistic Design and it came right away. If you look at the picture for this listing, you can see exactly what you get. It's a simple tool with effective results. The circles are clean-edged and accurate. The tool is just a little bigger than a large index card, so it fits well in a notebook. The product is flexible but sturdy. It makes nice circles with minimal effort. The product would be better with a ruler or numbering on one side, but it wasn't advertised that way so I can't fault it. I would purchase this product again and would recommend it. amazon listing

Lundberg Family Farms Cilantro Lime Rice made with regenerative organic certified white rice Social Nature Review
5/5 stars
I enjoyed eating the Lundberg Family Farms Cilantro Lime Rice made with regenerative organic certified white rice product. When I opened the top of the package a little, I could see that the rice was all in one big lump, so I wasn't expecting much. However, during the 90 seconds in the microwave, the package expanded quite a bit, and the rice did fluff out. Not all bagged rice like this fluff out. It was a nice tannish color with little visible specks of green cilantro. I thought the flavor was enjoyable and the rice mixed very well with the rest of my dish. The price was comparable to other bagged rice. The product was hard to find though. Most of the Marianos locations only had the big bags of Lundberg and not the 90-second small instant bags. I had to look up which locations carried it. I would recommend this product since it was easy to make and tasted great. I would also purchase it again if it was in a Mariano's location nearby. This product was located on the shelf with all the other rice/bean/pasta items, so it was very easy to find.

Tablo 4th Gen 2-Tuner 128GB Over the Air DVR & 35-mile TV Antenna

Tablo 4th Gen 2-Tuner 128GB Over the Air DVR & 35-mile TV Antenna QVC Review
4/5 stars
I purchased this product through QVC and have no complaints as far as the ordering process and delivery of the product are concerned. The Tablo is a wonderful piece of software paired with a decent antenna. I did have issues setting up the Tablo via Wi-Fi. I tried several times to connect via the Wi-Fi, but it kept saying my device wasn't found. I tried rebooting it and refreshing the Wi-Fi network, but it still wouldn't connect. There is a decent support area on the tablo.com website but it didn't solve my issue adequately. I ended up connecting and setting up the device via an ethernet cable and now it works just fine. The device managed to scan more channels than my current antenna and that was without even setting it near a window or wall. I think the interface for the app is great. I like the added channel selection. Sometimes antennas do get spotty so it's nice to know that there are at least a few channels that will be there consistently no matter what. I live in the city of Chicago, so I was hoping that the antenna would pick up some of the channels that aren't Chicago, but I think the 35-mile radius is just short of what it would need to be to pick up other areas. Sadly, this software doesn't offer the ability to just flip through the channels, but as long as you don't mind always going back to the channel listing screen you are fine. I also do not like that the screen turns blue and says channel unavailable when the reception goes. The weaker signal channels like WinTV, Defy, or Quest sometimes go in and out with their reception. It would be nice to not have to constantly push the refresh button. I don't always like to stay right next to the TV. Otherwise, no complaints. It is a great product. I would recommend it, and I would consider repurchasing it if it breaks.

Pirq Hydration Electrolyte + Circumin Watermelon flavor drink mix

Pirq Hydration Electrolyte + Circumin Watermelon flavor drink mix Thing Testing Review
5/5 stars
Overall, for a hydration drink, the Pirq Hydration Electrolyte + Circumin Watermelon flavor drink mix is a nice product. I thought the packet mixed very easily with water. The watermelon flavor tasted like watermelon, and I had no issue drinking it. I thought that the nutritional information was well-rounded. My biggest issue with the product was that I had trouble finding it at the Jewel-Osco. This product was in the pharmacy by the nutritional and weight loss section. I understand not wanting to put this product by the energy drinks or the drinks that have no nutritional value. However, I do not think it would be horrible to put it near the other hydration mixes like liquid IV or halo. The pharmacy was the last place I looked since the packaging didn't scream out to me that it was a medical product.
I would consider purchasing this product again if I were in the market for a hydration drink. I think the price is on par with the other hydration drinks out there. I would recommend it to a family member.

09162024-bingweatheretreenumber4

I am a frequent, daily user of Microsoft Bing. They have an opportunity in the weather section to get a tree planted if you visit enough and get enough points. The program is in conjunction with the Eden Reforestation Project.

The first picture reads, Microsoft Start Weather. I just helped a real tree get planted in Mozambique! E tree certificate, name of tree, type of tree: Mangrove, and location of the tree: Mozambique.

When I completed the first tree, I didn't know how long it took me since I didn't measure it. The second time around I was diligent about visiting every day and clicking through all of the opportunities for points. It took me 6 weeks and a couple of days to get the second e-tree. On my third e-tree it took about the same time, it took about six weeks to complete. Not sure why but the fourth etree took 12 weeks, double the time. It looks like they are all in Mozambique still. A tree is a tree though.

Mangrove Tree Certificate
Your tree will be the 2750382th tree planted.
Tree will be planted by the Eden Reforestation Project.
Type of tree: Mangrove.
Location of the tree: Mozambique.

Honestly, due to the e-tree program, I know where Mozambique, Africa is located.
However, if you do not know where it is located then here is a link on Google Maps.

Non-GMO Alexia Spice of Life Cilantro Lime Roasted Seasoned Potatoes

Non-GMO Alexia Spice of Life Cilantro Lime Roasted Seasoned Potatoes Influenster Review
5/5 stars
This product was supposed to be reimbursed by Influenster. I purchased this product 6 days ago at Fresh Thyme Market. The Non-GMO Alexia Spice of Life Cilantro Lime Roasted Seasoned Potatoes were easy to find in the frozen section next to the other frozen potatoes. The purchase was supposed to be under the promise of a campaign reimbursement on my product page. That campaign disappeared before I got the review submitted. I'm not sure if the campaign ended or if it just got pulled for whatever reason (There was no "days left" countdown like most campaigns have in the description.). So, this product wasn't free for me was my point. This product was also a little expensive for a bag of frozen potatoes. It was seven dollars for 16oz. I realize those potatoes come pre-seasoned and pre-cut. It was also NON-GMO, so I guess there is paying for convenience and better-quality product.
That being said, I did enjoy this product very much. I would purchase it again, especially if it was actually on sale. I thought it was easy to prepare in the air fryer and the seasoning had a pleasant taste to it. You can taste the lime, and it blends well with the potatoes. I would also recommend this product. However, I found this product at a grocery store that is out of the way of my usual paths. I'm pretty sure that if it was purchased by anyone, I know it would need to be distributed at one of the larger grocery store chains.

Angel Fantasm Mugler eau de parfum sensuelle, etoile rechargeable refillable star
@muglerofficial @influenster

Angel Fantasm Eau de Parfum Spray Influenster Review
4/5 stars
I didn't know what to expect when I received the Angel Fantasm Eau de Parfum in the mail from Influenster. I do not regularly purchase parfums or fragrances, but I was willing to give it a try. This fragrance was strong, and all notes of this scent were noticed. At times, this fragrance could almost be mistaken as masculine rather than feminine, but I think that it's because it has a fruity tropical vibe to it. The scent could be described as bold rather than subdued. The pineapple and coconut are almost like a scent found in sunscreen.
I really wasn't into this scent, but it has more to do with the packaging rather than the scent itself. The spray bottle didn't work very well, and the bottle would drip quite a bit after each spray. I don't like at all that the bottle didn't stand upright on its own. The way that the bottle lays is awkward and takes up a lot of space. I also thought that the overall design was blah rather than wow.
If the purchaser of the product is into bold fruity scents that last a long time and have different hints of fragrance at difference at different times, then this product is recommended. This product is not recommended for someone looking for a great bottle design or more subdued fragrance. This perfume is not for them and the shopper should keep looking.
