Tasty and Nutritious Meals on the Go



I received another exciting BzzAgent campaign. I was excited to try my free New Fiber One® Meal Bars, especially the ones in Strawberry Greek Yogurt. So in exchange, I am excited to share my opinion on this easy to go, tasty, and nutritious meal option.

The New Fiber One® Meal Bar in Strawberry Greek Yogurt was the perfect addition to my diet and on the go eating habits. I commute to college twice a week and only have fifteen minutes in between each class and I don’t get a real lunch break. I love that I can just throw a meal bar in my bag and can even eat it as I walk from class to class.



I was nervous that it wouldn’t fill me up and I would be hungry again before I got home, but I never even thought about being hungry. The meal bar is a little bigger than other brands I have tried, but it actually has fewer calories than some of those other meal bars. Yet, it’s not too sweet and has a great amount of protein and fiber.

The taste was great too. The bar is filled with whole roasted almonds and tons of fruit pieces, plus the thin coat of yogurt adds just the right amount of sweetness without being too much. I like to have a variety of texture in any food I eat, and I really liked that it was chewy with bits of crunch. The fact that it retails for a little over five dollars a box makes it a bargain compared to most other meal bars.

These meal bars are a great idea for kids too. My brother always complains about how my nephew is running late for the bus and doesn’t have breakfast, so this is a healthy choice he can grab and eat on the bus on the way to school. That way he gets his metabolism going and doesn’t go hungry until lunch. You just can’t beat such nutritious and tasty on the go meal options that are great for the whole family.

Comfy Feet





We had our first real snow just a few days ago. Although we are already getting prepared for Christmas, I will be the first to admit that I miss the warm summer days, but my boots are too cute not to love wearing.  After wearing them for the eight hours I spend at university twice a week (and have to walk over 20 blocks back and forth), however, my feet sure could use some relief.

Thanks to my complimentary Rose VoxBox from +Influenster  and Dr. Scholls® For Her for inserting their Dr. Scholl's® For Her Cozy Cushions, my first thought when I get home isn’t I can’t wait to take my boots off, but it’s out to the yard with the girls to run around and play. Reindeer need their exercise too, ya know.


Uncomfortable feet can make for a really unpleasant day, and it’s nice to know that such a reputable company as Dr. Scholl's® is there to make sure I keep a smile on my face.  And, I get to enjoy time with my loved ones instead of feeling like I need to soak my feet for an hour or two.


It’s funny, but I don’t know that I would have ever thought about Dr. Scholl's® giving me more time, happy time, with my loved ones.  But, it really does!


Dr. Scholl's® is not only comparable in price, if not cheaper, than other insoles, but they don’t slip, and they keep you comfy all day.  What makes it even better?  The Dr. Scholl's® For Her line is exclusively made for women.  Not only do they have Dr. Scholl's® For Her Cozy Cushions, but multiple other female-based insoles.
