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.

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!

To Do Before Going Down To The Beach

So you are going down to the beach tomorrow, but what are you supposed to do before you go down? So yea I know this seems kind of like a common sense post, but you wouldn't believe how many people skip simple things before going down to the beach, things that can make the whole experience soooo much better! Well the very first thing to do would be to pack your beach bag but i've already made a MUCH more detailed post on that and you can see that at  summertimesweety.blogspot.com/beach-bags 1. So the first thing, picking your bathing suit and cover up There are some bathing suits that look better on some body types than others and even though I plan to have that post up in the future...I don't right now. As for cover ups, I recommend them so you will be able to put something back on if you get to much sun. When I wear a bathing suit I usually wear board shorts over the bottoms anyway, then I put on a cute little dress or cami. Well I really hope that I wouldn&

Three Ways to Christmas Shop on the Cheap

Christmas shopping is something a lot of us tend to put off until the last second, and then are scrambling the week before Christmas to buy things just because you feel like you have to.  You end up buying something, at exorbitant obnoxious prices, that you know the person you are buying for won’t even like! I came up with a few ways you can get awesome presents, not have to kill yourself trying to get them at the last minute, and not break the bank... My first suggestion, is to shop in advance!  I know, this seems super simple, but you wouldn't believe the difference it makes to start a couple months in advance, and just buy things you know the person would like as you see them.  This year, I stopped in an antique shop on my way to work one day, just to look around.  I ended up leaving with this gorgeous bowl, mug, and tea set with I am planning to give to family members, and because the place was about to close down, I got them for half off the original price!
