Product Review & Giveaway: Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters

nature_valley_logo-150x150

Contest closed. AFD you are the winner. Please send me your address.

Recently, MyBlogSpark provided me the opportunity to try Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters. I am always on the look our for a healthier snack that still taste good and have long been a fan of Nature Valley’s Granola Bars, so I was excited about this review.

Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters are a mixture of granola clusters, nuts, and a little honey. They come in four flavors: Roasted Cashew, Nut Lovers, Roasted Almonds, and Honey Nut Peanut (which was my favorite). Truth be told, I loved them all so much that I barely shared them with my husband.

naturevalleyPrize_PackAs far as nutritional value goes, a serving size of Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters (about 1 oz) ranges from 140 to 160 to 140 calories depending on which flavor. While it’s very easy to eat the whole bag in one sitting (seriously, they are really that good), the resealable bags are great for those who have more self-control than I. My 3 year old daughter didn’t like them because they were too hard for her to chew, but my husband enjoyed the Roasted Cashew the most.

Not only did I receive 4 bags of the Granola Nut Clusters, I was also sent  a backpack, binoculars, battery/generator flashlight, and a stainless steel water bottle. And one of my readers will win one too.  My daughter loves the flashlight and binoculars. We  used them to complete our Autumn Scavenger Hunt as part of our homeschooling curriculum.

Suave, Take Me Away

Body Wash resizedYes, I know that line is usually connected to another product, but I have never felt like that after using that stuff. It took a shower with Suave® Naturals Body Wash Apricot Exfoliating Shower Gel to get me uttering those words. See, I am a bit of a shower snob. While I love the scents of body washes and such, I usually stay away from them because my skin is very dry and sensitive. Not to mention that I have severe allergies and most fruity, flowery scented things irritate my asthma symptoms. So, when BSM Media offered me the chance to try out a few of Suave’s products, I was a little hesitant.

But oh how things change. The Apricot Exfoliating Shower Gel is like a mini-spa in a bottle. The scent is soft and pleasant and my skin felt smooth. After using it in my morning shower I was rejuvenated and my body was awake. Suffice it to say, I did not experience any side effects either- no dry patches and rashes like I normally get from some of the more expensive items. And even the Cocoa Butter with Shea Lotion was a pleasant surprise. It was thick and provided my feet, hands, and elbows with the coverage needed to stay moisturized all day long.

Now I have to be honest with you- I don’t normally pamper myself. In fact, showering on a daily basis is usually my rest and relaxation time, but even then, I am usually rushed by the constant “Mommy. Mommy. Mommy…,” calls from my toddler. I barely get a chance to take in the fragrance of the soap before I have to jump out to manage some 3 -year-old catastrophe. But Suave® and Holly Robinson-Pete are encouraging moms to take a few minutes… Continue reading
