Fruttare Bars Review

Thank you Fruttare for sponsoring this post. Bite into the bright side with Fruttare, a new line of delicious frozen fruit bars bursting with real fruit taste now in stores.

We all know by know I am an ice cream fiend, so imagine my excitement when I got offered the opportunity to test out Fruttare bars. I had the pleasure of trying these new bars this Sunday and let me just say, they turned my typically dull Sunday right around.

For a boost towards the bright side, bite into a new awesomely uplfiting new Fruttare™ Fruit & Juice bar, bursting with real fruit and creamy milk.

My personal favorite was the strawberries and milk. Tasted just like the Strawberry Creme Savers I grew up on! So what are you waiting for it's time to try one of their delicious flavors for yourself!

 True life: I'm a coffee addict. 

#GiveACup

This summer, Peet's Coffee is introducing the public to its new Single Cups! This is a super simple way to brew your favorite coffee, so of course that's so exciting! The Single Cups will still have the same great Peet's Coffee taste but with the convenience of only having to make one cup at a time. And right now Peet's wants YOU to help them decide where to had the Single Cups out. That's where their 'Give A Cup' site comes into play.

'Give A Cup' is the internet's first social sampling experiment. How can you help? Simply visit the Give A Cup site and each week there will be a new question for you to answer. For example, Summer as a Verb. Do you give a cup? It's weird and quirky and you all know I love weird and quirky. Plus it's fun to see what Peet's comes up with each week.

 What do I give a cup about? My relationships with my loved ones, my pups, the blog world, and of course I give a cup about good coffee! I could go on and on. But then you wouldn't know about this awesome giveaway!

U by Kotex #Sponsored

Okay, I'll admit, I was a tad hesitant to review a feminine hygiene product on my blog. Who wants to talk about periods, cramps, and the like? AWKWARD.  Kotex is breaking the barrier with their Generation Know campaign, promoting the open discussion of real facts, providing advice and knowledge about periods and other intimate details of womanhood. Together, Kotex believes women can banish embarrassment about menstruation and turn negative associations into a topic that we are well educated on and feel confident to speak about in the open

And I got to thinking, I really love the chic and trendy look of U by Kotex brand of tampons and liners. If only they had been around back when I was 13 and extremely embarrassed to have "started." Back in those days I was stuck with a cardboard applicator (yuck!) I think U by Kotex is the wave of the future for teens (and women!) alike.

The product that I chose to review was the U by Kotex Click Tampons featuring a small compact design which made it super easy to carry around wherever my day took me!  I chose the regular absorbency and the slim applicator made for easy and comfortable insertion. This tampon takes one easy "click" to go from compact to full size, simply. I loved how I could stow it away in my pocket or purse and sneak away to the bathroom without anyone knowing I was on my period!

Of course, the fun, bold colors didn't hurt.

I needed a tampon that could keep up with the chaotic college lifestyle of constantly being on my feet, diving into the neighbors pool, and dancing the night away. U by Kotex did just that! The only problem I had with the regulars is that they weren't quite strong enough for my second and third days when flow is heaviest. May need to upgrade to the super for those days.

Between PMS, cramps, and heavy days, "That time of the month" sucks enough as is. Might as well make it as pleasant as possible! Gotta love those days when you barely have to think about that visitor at all. I would with 100% certainty buy U by Kotex again!
