#trydry Influenster Review

Unilever Dry Spray VoxBox Review...Provided by Influenster!



I was sent the Unilever Dry Spray VoxBox from Influenster (a company I LOVE!!) for testing and review purposes. 

I was a little skeptical about using this at first, being as I don't usually use spray deodorant. The thing that kept me going is that it was Dove. I'm glad I did, too. Dove dry spray goes on easily, with just one or two sprays! I like that it's quicker, and requires less effort to apply. I also like that it doesn't leave any white residue on my clothes! 

Dove dry spray deodorant also actually works with providing a fragrance all day. No joke. My first few days using it, I kept walking around all day, wondering what I kept catching a whif of, before realizing it was the deordorant!!

All in all? I'm very satisfied with the product, and will be heading to Walmart soon to go get more!

YSL Mascara

Definitely love this product!! Received for testing purposes and I tested the crap out of it...The packaging and tube has a good weight to it and the formula does not clump. My eyes look bigger and my stubborn stick-straight lashes hold up for the entire day.  The formula is not heavy and it glides on smooth for a quick and easy application.  

Verdict: Would buy this product in the future.  Recommend.

Zucchini Noodle Tuna Casserole | Living the Gluten-Free Life

I am always trying to conjure up new and exciting spins on old classic recipes.  I was craving comfort food last night while grocery shopping and remembered that I had a HUGE zucchini squash ready to expire.  I knew that I wanted to create some type of noodle dish...I was picking up my protein for the week: ground turkey, chicken breast and TUNA.

Obvs, I wanted to create my take on the old-time favorite dish.  I'm not a fan of wheat noodles and I could have certainly used a rice-flour based noodle, but I was really leaning on the paleo-side last night.  I will be giving the most stripped down version of this dish, but you can always add whatever you like!

I started with 98% fat free Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup and added 3/4 can of water (remember, you can add milk or cream to this instead).

I tossed in 2 cups of frozen sweet peas (I love peas, so I went overboard).

Finished with 2 cans of albacore canned tuna in water.



Be sure to mix this up in the dish and preheat your oven to 385-400 degrees.

I then started prepping my zucchini.  Since the zucchini was replacing egg noodles, I wanted to the same texural quality.

Just chop off the ends and peel one strip of the skin off.  This give you a surface to peel a sliver of the skin off at a time.  You will end up with a mix of white fleshy "noodles" and ones with a touch of green (the skin was damaged so I peeled the majority of mine off).


Give the noodles a couple of quick chops to shorten them and toss them in with the soup mixture.

I then sprinkled a few crushed glutino crackers on the top for a crumble.  To ensure this was a proper casserole, I could not leave out the best part!  


Then it's off to the oven for 35-40 minutes or until bubbly and the crumble is golden brown.  

I let the casserole cool off and set up for 10 minutes...it was AMAZING!

The zucchini noodles were soft and held their structure quite well.


Let me know what you think...remember, you can always add a couple tablespoons of butter, milk instead of water, cheese and/or parmesan to the crumble topping. 

Stay healthy and beautiful ~ BBB

It's a Cookie...It's a Chip...It's a Cookie Chip!

So I have been a HUGE advocate for Hannah Max Baking Cookie Chips ever since they debuted the Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookie Chips in the #Popsugar #MustHave Box!  (Do you have an official spokeperson yet?!)

After using the store locator, I was pleasantly surprised that #Safeway carried these bad boys! (I'm waiting for the day #costco carries these...I cannot even imagine <3) 

I believe I bought 5 bags in one shopping trip (only $2.99 per bag!!), brought a couple bags into the office and created Cookie Chip junkies out of all my co-workers.  Our gift-giving has turned into cookie chip giving...it's awesome.

I love the cookie chips so much, I have even been tweeting about them (Follow me! @BBB_Blogs)



Hannah Max prides themselves on using top-notch ingredients which are evident in the texture and taste from each bite you take.  (I'm drooling just thinking about it...)

NO preservatives, NO artificial colors, NO trans fat..period! #healthy

These are the available flavors so far (new flavors are going to be launched soon!):

Original
Chocolate Chip
Cinnamon Sugar
Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip
Sea Salted Peanut Butter



I cannot wait to see what they have developed for the new flavors...I suggested Toasted Coconut and Chocolate Chip Mint...what do you want to see from the Cookie Chip line?

Stay happy with these indulgent cookies...and of course, beautiful ~BBB
