PB Peanut Butter {Review}

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend I am just posted up at a Starbucks in California waiting for my dress to get altered. Fingers crossed that when I go back it fits! The Fatkid and I were sent some delicious goodies from PB Peanut Butter (Pacific Beach Peanut Butter) last week and we loved them. All of their products are gluten free (yay for me!) and they also offer some sugar free. For someone who loves peanut butter I am surprised that I have never had flavored peanut butter before so I was excited to try some of their flavors. We chose: Organic Unsalted Touch of Caramel  Cinnayum The Organic Unsalted was more for me than the Fatkid. I used this...

Review of the Samsung Galaxy SIII

So AT&T sent me the care package below after I reviewed the HTC OneX and signed up for their ItCanWait campaign, which is a campaign against texting and driving. They offered to let me review the new Samsung Galaxy SIII and do a giveaway for one lucky reader. I used the Samsung Galaxy SIII for a month and used the internet, apps, music, camera,etc. So here you go! In the box: Headphones: I can always use another pair – and I really liked them. They were comfortable and worked well! USB and charger Quick Start Guide – which is helpful for those of us who don’t use Samsung products typically, or who aren’t intuitive at figuring out new...

The Fatkid gobbled down the jerky and loved...

Winner of the HTC One X from AT&T

So forgive me that it took so long to go through all the entries for the HTC One X Giveaway from AT&T but I loved hearing what you all would do with the new phone. I also wanted to encourage everyone to go sign the petition for #itcanwait which is the campaign against texting and driving. If you have kids educate them on the safety issues involved having a cell phone and driving. So the final review on the HTC One X is summed up in one word. Awesome. After my initial review I was hoping I wouldn’t be disappointed and I wasn’t I literally could not be happier with the HTC One X and the service that I had while using AT&T last month. The HTC One X...

FeelFitWear {review}

So, there is a new bikram yoga studio by my house that is offering a great deal and since I am still trying to detox/lean out for the next two weeks I thought that would a perfect supplement to my regular workouts. I think I lost two pounds sweating yesterday and I am glad I had on a shirt that didn’t just stick to me uncomfortably. FeelFitWear (a women’s wholesale Brazilian fitness wear) sent me their yoga tank a few weeks ago to review and of course I was waiting for the perfect time to try it out. The material is incredibly comfortable and doesn’t have any seams that dig into your arms or back – which is a must for yoga apparel. It is also...

August Jacked Pack {review}

My August Jacked Pack came and between that and Labor Day being right around the corner I have been newly motivated to bust my butt in the gym I handed off the chocolate protein bar to the Fatkid and kept the XTend for myself everything else we pretty much split. I was majorly bummed because the bagel looked amazing and had 28g of protein but Arizona heat is not nice to perishable food and I think it died before I got to it. To learn more about the monthly samples from Jacked Pack just click here. Also, I got a TON of questions about this shirt and it’s from FireDaughter. I am obsessed with Samya’s store (lucky for me her store front is in AZ) but she...

Right now da active is having a huge give away where you have the chance to win a $500 shopping spree of their items. I entered the first day but if you haven’t yet, you can here.
