UNREAL Candy Review & Giveaway (ends 8/27)

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 0 Comments

Product Name: UNREAL candy Product Information: Unreal started with a question from a kid: "WHY DOES THE JUNK FOOD WE LOVE HAVE TO BE SO BAD FOR US?" It took a question from a 13 year old. A few years ago, Michael and his 13 year old son Nicky got into an argument over Halloween candy. Nicky came home with his bag of loot, went to bed, and woke up the next morning to find that his dad had confiscated most of it. It played out the way these fights normally do, with the candy gone and Nicky going to his room. Later, Nicky did some research online (to prove to his dad that candy isn’t so bad). He discovered that his dad was right (for once). It’s not that Nicky thought candy was healthy. It’s...

Hershey Chocolate and National S’mores Day Giveaway (ends 8/13)

by Karen Mendes | Giveaways, Product Review | 0 Comments

While at BlogHer last week, I had a chance to hang with the Hershey's Chocolate crew in their S’mores Suite. They have one every year (at least for the past 3 years) and seriously BlogHer isn't the same without having some S’mores while we are there! Each year the suite is decorated in a nice backyard theme but it always looks different. I really love what they did this year and the S’mores were excellent. They have everything we need to make our own S'mores and I was tempted to spend my entire lunchtime in there just eating S'mores but figured that probably wasn't the way to go for lunch. But I did enjoy one (and an extra marshmellow too!) Doesn't that look good ------------------->...
