Bread products in particular seem to have a wide range of differences when you compare nutritional profiles when it comes to protein and fiber. Brownberry makes breads that line Read more [...]

Sumo Jerky Subscription Box Review

Sumo Jerky sent me a subscription box for my review. All opinions are my own. Beef jerky has been a favorite food of mine since childhood. Since I started paying more attention to what I was eating about 9 months ago, I realized that it's actually a pretty healthy food.

It's awesome to get a delicious 'treat' that is protein packed, lean and relatively low in calories. Sumo Jerky Read more [...]

Drop Stop Fills The Gap Between Your Vehicle Seat & Console – Review & Giveaway (3/12/2016)

Drop Stop sent me Drop Stops for my review. All opinions are my own. Do you ever accidentally drop your keys or other small objects between your vehicle seat and the center console? It's always been frustrating when that happens to me. With my current vehicle it's particularly annoying because the seats sit pretty high up from the floor. When items drop between the seat and the console, they of course fall all the way to the ground so I have to dip half my arm into the crack to reach whatever Read more [...]
