January Nibblr Subscription Box

So after searching around on My Subscription Addiction for a subscription box to try out for free or on the cheap to see if I liked it, I found this Nibblr box from the Pillsbury company!

Upon opening my box, I found a tray of four, healthy, portion controlled snacks. Each month they send you four snacks at random, until you begin to personalize your account.  You can personalize your account by selecting "Love it, Like it, Interested, or No Thanks".  All snacks begin marked "Interested", and after trying them you may mark them otherwise.  They will then try to send snacks marked "Love it" and "Like it" more often, and avoid sending the ones marked "No Thanks".

The first snack on my try was "PB Graham"

It is described as "peanuts, peanut wafers, and graham cookies snack mix", and falls into the "Feel Good Sweets" category.

Just a note, Nibblr CAN NOT cater to food allergies, and from what I have gathered they send quite a few nut products.

Review: This has officially changed my opinion of peanuts, I really did not think I liked them until now! I also wasn't sure what it meant by "peanut wafer", but it turned out to be a big salty peanut butter chip, which works for me! Loved this one!
This was also definitely enough for 2 servings, for me at least
The second snack in my tray was "Red, White, and Boom!"

It is described as "shortbread cookies, blueberries, and raspberries snack mix" and also falls into the "Feel Good Sweets" category.

Review: I loved this one too! I am not usually a fan of just plain shortbread cookies, but combined with the freeze dried raspberries and blueberries it was great! I preferred the raspberries greatly to the blueberries, and have since been searching for them to buy individually!
This one was enough for two servings as well.
 The third snack in my tray was "Nice & Naughty"

It is described as "sea salt caramel truffles and hazelnuts snack mix" and, once again, falls into the "Feel Good Sweets" category.

Review: Though I really enjoyed the sea salt chocolate caramel chocolate truffles (obviously!) I wasn't crazy over the Hazelnuts.  I ate about half of them trying to like them, and then just gave up, this is just a personal preference though!  
This snack was only about one serving.
The final snack on my tray was "Fa-la-la Licious"

It is described as "cranberries, almonds, and pistachios snack mix", and falls into the "fruit and nut" category.

Review: Nope, nuh uh, I don't do nuts.  After the peanuts were good, and the hazelnuts were tolerable, I decided to try the almonds and pistachios, and was NOT a fan... but that is just a personal preference.













So in conclusion, it was a really nice box, and cool treat, but I'm not sure if I will be keeping it.  At $6 a box, the snacks are about the same price individually as vending machine food, but I tend to pack my own snacks instead of resorting to a vending machine so it isn't exactly sensible for me.  Though I have no complaints and might come back and try it at a later date, I am pausing my subscription for now.

Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did??  I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels.  They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside! The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well!  I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one.  But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection.  The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile."  It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring. The first item in the box were mini bath bombs.  I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones!  I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it?  But no worries

Emerald Isle Pics

I have been asked to post some more of my personal pictures of Emerald Isle since the last post I made, I actually haven't had the opportunity to go back since I got my new camera (and laptop) so I don't have any current pictures. I do happen to have some pictures of the beach (it was early spring and early in the morning, so they are kind of bland) that we went to on a school trip that is just a short distance up the island.  I hope you like them!! :) I PROMISE I will post some more (better ones) as soon as I can!

Best Beach Ever!

So... I am debating on if I should even share this with you because it is so amazing! This is the most absolutely amazing beach I have ever been to in my life! It is Emerald Isle NC it is perfect!  So in my mind it is so perfect because: It is on the beautiful coast of North Carolina (which is where I live, and where I love!) It's name is Emerald ISLE so its on a cute little island (Duh!), at some places o the island you can see the Bogue Sound (yes this is a body of water, and yes this is a real place) and the Atlantic Ocean on the other It is a quite little town so everyone if friendly, and the beaches are never crowded There is a nice little aquarium just up the island a bit The is a little shopping center called Emerald Plantations that includes a movie theater , restaurants, shops, and a river where you can feed Sea Turtles (this is especially fun because there's one that is bigger than my six year old brother! It lives at the bottom and only comes up occasiona
