General Mills and My Blog Spark Prize Pack Giveaway
General Mills has three new products to satisfy those sweet and salty cravings sold exclusively at convenience stores! I recently received a mouthwatering Sweet and Salty Prize Pack from My Blog Spark and General Mills. My prize pack included two each of the following General Mills products: Triple Chocolate Cocoa Puffs Treats, Hot Buffalo Bugles, Nature Valley Oats ‘N Dark Chocolate Crunchy Granola Bars, a soft cotton Bugles T-shirt and a fancy insulated travel mug complete with a non-slip rubber grip!
Hot Buffalo Bugles: Need something salty with a bit of a kick? Look no further than Bugles Hot Buffalo Crisp Corn Snacks, which blends the taste of hot buffalo sauce with crispy corn Bugles.
Bugles have been around for as long as I can remember. According to General Mills, Bugles have been enjoyed by families across the nation for the past five decades. How could anyone forget these fun, funnel shaped, crunchy snacks?! I will be honest, I haven't had them in quite a long time, but that has all changed since trying the new Hot Buffalo Bugles.
I love anything spicy, especially spicy snacks. The Hot Buffalo Bugles are amazingly light and airy with a puffy, woven texture. The flavor reminds me of my favorite Frank's Red Hot Sauce, although they aren't quite as spicy. You may not taste the heat with just one or two, but these are so good- you won't stop until the entire bag is gone. And once you have devoured the entire bag, you will definitely notice the nice bite they have.
Triple Chocolate Cocoa Puffs Treats: A rich, indulgent cereal bar that combines great-tasting Cocoa Puffs cereal and chocolate into one decadent treat.
Anyone who likes Cocoa Puffs Cereal, will absolutely love the new Triple Chocolate Cocoa Puffs Treats. Chocolate lovers have met their new ultimate chocolate snack. Get ready to throw your favorite candy bars away! The new Triple Chocolate Cocoa Puffs Treats are made of Cocoa Puffs, chocolate chips, then dipped in chocolate and drizzled with yes, even more chocolate! My husband and son devoured the first bar and fought over the second. These are definitely a new favorite of theirs.
Nature Valley Oats ‘N Dark Chocolate Crunchy Granola Bars: These bars mix dark chocolate pieces, oats and crisp rice nuggets for a classic crunch and burst of whole grain goodness, making them a perfect natural snack that's high in fiber and protein, but low in saturated fat.
The Nature Valley Oats ‘N Dark Chocolate Crunchy Granola Bars are a very satisfying crunchy granola bar with a subtle chocolate flavor. I rarely eat chocolate because I find the the taste to be too rich and overpowering. If you would like to try a snack with a light chocolate flavor, these are perfect to satisfy your sweet craving. These are my absolute favorite!
All of these General Mills snacks are great for snacking around the house or taking on the run! Go ahead and wipe the drool from your chin... General Mills and My Blog Spark is offering you the chance to win the same Sweet and Salty Prize Pack I received!

CSN Stores - Back to Basics Blender Express Plus Review
As you can probably imagine, I had a difficult decision deciding on just one item. Fortunately, that was the only problem I encountered while shopping with CSN Stores. Shopping with CSN is easier than ever! Every store's website includes the same format, which is very simple to navigate. Items can easily be found by searching by brand, feature, category or keyword. I finally narrowed my top choices down, and decided on the Back to Basics Blender Express Plus.
The Back to Basics Blender Express Plus includes one chopping blade base and one ice-crushing blade base. This is a nice feature to have, especially if you like to make smoothies, shakes, mixed drinks, or even snow cones! Both the blending containers and the travel mugs easily screw to the blender's base. I took advantage of the ice-crushing blade and decided to unwind with a frozen fruity cocktail.
I have always wanted the Magic Bullet, but opted for the Back to Basics Blender Express Plus because of the lower price tag. It is considerably smaller than your average blender which is an added feature because you can leave it on the counter without worrying about it taking up too much space. This powerful blender is not just any run-of-the-mill blender. Not only are you able to use it for blending, but it also acts as a food processor! So far, I have used my Blender Express Plus to make homemade salsa, milkshakes, frozen alcoholic beverages, protein shakes and fruit smoothies. The possibilities are endless!
This blender is super easy to use, otherwise I wouldn’t be using it every day! You simply add your ingredients to the mixing bowls, or your mug, attach to the blender base and turn the dial to “low” or “high” speed, or use the “pulse” setting. No matter what you decide to make, it will never take up more than a few seconds of your time.
I have only had my blender for a week, but so far I am very impressed! The containers and travel mugs are made of very durable, thick plastic. I like the fact that they are see-through and found this to be convenient when storing food in the refrigerator and freezer. Cleanup couldn’t be easier; rinse with soap and water and place on a drying rack or place it in the dishwasher. The travel mugs fit perfectly in our vehicle's cup-holder. In my opinion, they are the perfect size. The handle is up high enough to allow this mug to fit into most cup-holders. The description on CSN describes these as leak-proof and I found this to be accurate. Most people would only think to use the lids for travel, but they are great for use around the house, especially if you have young children around.
I am so happy with my Back to Basics Blender Express Plus and highly recommend this economical blender to anyone who appreciates convenience versatility! However, if you aren't in the market for a new blender, CSN has everything from cookware, wine glasses and wine racks, school and office supplies, grills, fitness equipment, ultra modern furniture, women's shoes, greenhouses and much more! If you are expecting or know someone who is, CSN's baby stores have everything for baby: nursery furniture, strollers, diaper bags, highchairs, car seats, swing sets, and the list goes on an on.
Shop from one store or shop from the all. No matter how many items you decide to purchase, no matter how many stores you choose to shop from, CSN offers one convenient shopping cart and just one checkout!
Where To Buy: Shop CSN Stores Online.
Cost: $39.99
Many thanks to CSN Stores for providing the review product!

Relieve Allergies With Children's Claritin Grape Chewables
I have a two-year old who suffers from allergies and has since before he even turned a year old. He displayed all of the common physical symptoms: runny nose, watery eyes, and sneezing.
In the past, his symptoms were mild. I didn't feel the need to medicate him, if it was not absolutely necessary. I suffer from mild allergies as well. We live in Texas and my allergies have never really seemed to bother me too much. Well, this year, the pollen count is especially high. My allergies have been out of control as well as my sons. His nose has been especially runny and his eyes are constantly watering. I knew he needed allergy medicine.
I tried giving him a few different store brand allergy medications. None of them seemed to help him in the least bit. Luckily, Claritin came to our rescue! Did you know Claritin is not just for adults? I had no idea Claritin made a product for kids. In fact, they have 4 different types of child allergy products: Claritin 12-Hour RediTabs Tablets for Kids, Children's Claritin Grape Chewables, Children's Claritin Grape Flavored Syrup, and Claritin RediTabs for Kids 24-Hour.
We tried the Children's Claritin Grape Chewables.When I popped the tablet out of the blister pack, I immediately noticed the great grape scent. I gave one to my son and from the shouts for "more medicine", I imagine they taste even better then they smell! I wasn't impressed at the end of the first day. My son's allergies hadn't alleviated any. However, after taking the Children's Claritin Grape Chewables for three days, I noticed I wasn't wiping near as many runny noses and his eyes hadn't watered at all.
Product Details:
- Should Only Be Taken By Children Ages 2 Years and Older.
- Non-Drowsy
- Once a Day Chewable Tablet
- Effective For Indoor & Outdoor Allergies
- Easy To Chew
- Great Grape Taste
- Temporarily Relieves Symptoms Caused by Hay Fever Or Other Upper Respiratory Allergies
