Premama Prenatal Vitamin Drink Mix
I want to start by saying that I received a free 7-day supply of this product from MomSelect but my review and opinions are 100% my own. Now, on to the review:
To start, I loved the form of this product. For me, drink mixes are SO much easier and more enjoyable to take than huge, horse sized vitamins. Those things just tend to be SO big. The drink mix is packed FULL of prenatal vitamins and is flavorless so you can add it to pretty much anything you want. I love to add in flavored powders to my bottled waters so this was perfect to add along with it. To mix, you just open one of the packages, pour into your beverage of choice, and then shake/stir. It's that easy!
Here is some useful information about the product, taken directly from the enclosed brochure. This will give you some great info about the product and help you determine if this product might be right for you. "Premama is a doctor recommended, prenatal vitamin on-the-go drink mix. It is complete with key prenatal vitamins and minerals - including folic acid, iron, DHA, CoQ10, and calcium - that help greatly reduce the chances of some birth defects, when taken appropriately. Premama's ingredients have also been shown to help relieve common prenatal vitamin side effects such as nausea and constipation. Premama contains USP ingredients and is produced in FDA-regulated facilities. It is 100% natural, flavorful, and only contains 6 calories!"
The convenience of this product alone makes it worth it to me. It's just so easy to remember to take and since it's flavorless, you don't feel like you are being forced to choke down something that you hate. I give it two thumbs up!
Don't forget to check out http://drinkpremama.com/ for more info. You can also like them on Facebook to really show your love for the brand!
If you want to be entered to win a free 30-day supply of Premama, please email me! Thanks!

Honey Bunches of Oats - now even more delicious than ever!
I want to begin by saying that Post provided a free sample of their Honey Bunches of Oats Honey Roasted cereal so I could review it. My participation is completely voluntary and my opinions, as always, are my own.
Now on to the juicy details!! :)
I have always been a fan of the Honey Bunches of Oats brand and have tried at least 5-6 different varieties over the years. They are all very, very tasty and packed full of whole grains, vitamins, and minerals. My main focus is going to be the taste as that seems to be the main thing that everyone wants to hear about. I will also get into the health benefits of the product for anyone wondering if this cereal can fit into their diets and/or daily routines. I tried this cereal many times in the past and always loved it. It's sweet but not SICKENING sweet. The slight taste of honey combined with the crispy flakes and crunchy oat clusters makes this cereal absolutely delicious. I find this cereal to be unique from other breakfast cereals as it brings together 4 nutritious grains (Wheat, Oat, Corn, and Rice) all wrapped up into one great tasting cereal. And if that isn't enough to convince you, Honey Bunches of Oats now has even MORE of the granola bunches added to it. I was thrilled about that addition because those are my favorite part! YUM! This cereal is yummy on its own but I have also tried it mixed with light vanilla yogurt and with skim milk. Both are quite tasty! I wouldn't recommend leaving the flakes in milk for too long as they do tend to get soggy, as with most cereals. Besides, who would want to spoil that awesome crunch?
Here are a few nutritional facts about this product, since we all know that taste AND nutrition are important. ;)
-10 grams of Whole Grain per serving -6 grams of sugar (for anyone that consumes Honey Nut Cheerios, this has 6 grams of sugar per serving, Honey Nut Cheerios has 9) -The variety that I sampled (Honey Roasted) provides 9 essential vitamins & minerals -It's HEART HEALTHY! (0g Trans Far, 0g Saturated Fat, 0mg Cholesterol) As you know, this can reduce the risk of heart disease and that is always a good thing!
If you haven't tried this yet, I would highly recommend it. And, if Honey Roasted isn't for you, there are plenty of other flavors to try. Almond, Strawberry, Cinnamon Bunches, Vanilla Bunches, and many, many more! Try them ALL! I am sure you will find one that you will LOVE!

Purex Triple Action UltraPacks liquid laundry detergent - SUPER convenient!
I received a full-sized package of Purex Triple Action UltraPacks liquid laundry detergent to try out from Purex Insiders. (super awesome!) This is a brand new product and I am one of the first people that had the opportunity to try it out. Needless to say, I was VERY excited! Right away, I loved the product form. I love liquid detergent but having to measure out and pour the detergent just adds some extra steps to the process. With these pre-dosed UltraPacks, you just grab, toss, and you're DONE! It's super easy and convenient. Each UltraPack contains powerful 2x concentrated liquid detergent, giving each pack double the cleaning power in every drop. To me, that is pretty amazing! (not to mention convenient!!)
I definitely recommend making sure that your hands are dry before touching the UltraPacks, though. My hands were just a tad bit damp from touching the running water and the little packs dissolve VERY quickly! Believe me, that's a good thing because I don't want blobs of detergent floating around when I start to add in my laundry. I just needed to be more mindful after that initial use. These UltraPacks were GREAT! I received the Mountain Breeze scent which was very crisp & refreshing. The scent wasn't at all strong or overpowering; I thought it was just right! For anyone with fragrance sensitivites, they also offer a Free & Clear variety.
I added one UltraPack in the running water and watched it dissolve fairly quickly. The scent filled my entire laundry room. Again, the scent wasn't super strong. I thought it was just right! I closed the lid and waited the full 40 minutes until the cycle was finished. I could still smell the fresh scent of the detergent on my clothes when I opened the lid and started putting the clothes in the dryer. LOVE that! I did experiment with a few different stains and decided not to pretreat ANYTHING! These UltraPacks did a great job of removing stains, even hard to remove ones like tomato sauce. Overall, I thought this was a GREAT product and one that I would definitely recommend. If you're looking for a hassle free, hard-working detergent, this product is definitely for you.
