The Unreal Giveaway

Have you looked at the ingredient list on some of your favorite candies lately? 

They tend to be about a mile long.

Ever wish you could find one that had real ingredients and not artificial coloring number this or that?



Look no further for I've discovered UNREAL 
Unreal 54-chocolates with peanuts (like peanut m&m's) 
Unreal 41-candy coated chocolates (like regular m&m's)
Unreal 8-chocolate caramel peanut nouget bar (like snickers)
Unreal 5-Chocolate caramel nouget bar
Unreal 77- Peanut butter cups

-No Artificials
-No Hydrogenated
-No corn syrups
-No preservatives
-No GMO's

You can find them at Staples, CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Michaels, Top food and drug, Fred Meyer, Kroger, Food 4 Less, Bj's

I bought mine at Staples

I've tried the unreal 54, 41, 5, 8. I thought they were all very good! Different, but good. They don't taste or have the same coloring as other mainstream candies (because they use real food to color them, not artificial)

I liked that the Unreal 54 had more of a peanut flavor. It tasted real to me. Unreal 5 had a great chocolate taste.
Unreal 8 had such a wonderful taste..the kind you say yum on the first bite.

    Answer the questions below. 
    1.Which Unreal candy would you like to try?

Glade Expression Giveaway!


Hey All!
I was gifted with Glade Expressions oil diffuser and fragrance mist through Bzz Agent.
I really like the product and that's why I decided to review and have a giveaway. So you can experience the wonderful scents. 
I was having guests over and didn't want the smell of dinner to linger, so I was really glad I had Glade expressions on hand to get the job done. The Pineapple & mangosteen scent makes you feel like you're in the Caribbean on vacation. I was a little nervous at first because the smell (of the oil diffuser) was really strong the first two days, but it stabilized after that. I kept it in the guest bathroom for that time and now I can bring it into the living room for guests to enjoy.
The fragrance mist is really awesome, giving you the exact amount of fresh scent you want with only one squeeze. I chose the cotton & italian mandarin scent. I LOVE it!  Smells so fresh and clean. Not like some that choke you with their fragrance.
