KalorieBox Review & Giveaway! US 5/23
About KalorieBox!
KalorieBox is a great and simple way to get monthly low calorie snacks while helping a great cause! With KalorieBox, simply choose a plan, get your KalorieBox in the mail every month and discover low calorie, delicious, healthy alternatives to the foods your already eat and love.
How does KalorieBox work?
KalorieBox offers three great plans, so you can decide which will work best for you! Choose between Monthly, 3- months or 6-months plan, but don't worry, you can cancel at anytime and KalorieBox guarantees your money back! So, once you've signed up and chosen your plan, sit back and your healthy alternative, low calorie and delicious snacks will arrive right to your door step every month. KalorieBox is shipped on the 15th of each month with free shipping.
So what comes in the KalorieBox?
Each KalorieBox comes with 5 or more low calorie, healthy items. These items can be anything from snacks and drinks to desserts, condiments and everything in between. Every month the products in your KalorieBox will be different, but one thing that will remain the same is that each item will always be low calorie and healthy.
Why are low calorie and healthy alternatives important?
In order to lose weight, your body has to burn more calories then it takes in. So what would be better then taking in lower calorie, healthier, but also delicious alternatives to help your body burn those calories!? Whether you're a calorie genius or you are just getting in to the game like myself, KalorieBox makes limiting the amount of calories your body takes in as easy as pie, don't worry, that is low calorie pie of course!
What's the Good Cause I mentioned earlier?
Well, for every KalorieBox delivered, they donate one mail to a hungry child in America who is in need of all of our support. Did you know there are 16 million children in America who are unsure of when their next meal will be or where it may come from? Learn more about KalorieBox's Giving program by visiting their Good Cause page.
Our KalorieBox!
We received a box of delicious, low calorie healthy alternative snacks, a drink and a condiment!
Discovering what is in your KalorieBox is one of the best things about it! I personally LOVE surprises and while you know you will be receiving low calorie, healthy alternatives, you still don't know what exactly will be in your box from month to month. Don't expect anything, but the BEST!
Sensible Foods: Cunch Dried Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Snacks you can enjoy year-round! Through Sensible Foods, Unique Crunch Dried process the water is removed while all of the products cells structure, nutritional value and intensifying natural flavor is maintained. Each fruit pouch contains .75 ounces of fat free, 100% natural, Gluten Free & GMO Free delicious fruits! This .75 ounces of fruit is equivalent to a half cup of fresh fruit or one daily fruit/vegetable serving that has a shelf life of over one year! No more buying fruit or vegetables and having them go bad before your able to eat them all, what a money saver!
My Review: Our children love fruits and vegetables, but then we find apple cores, banana peels, half of carrots, etc laying around, plus fresh fruits and vegetables attract fruit flies. Did you know that fruit flies actually breed in fresh bananas? Gross, eh!? I've learned the hard way that bananas really can't be put into the refrigerator for more then about 3 days as they bruise and soften way too quickly in the refrigerator, yuck! However! With Sensible Foods Crunch Dried Fresh Fruits and Vegetables our children can enjoy their fruits and vegetables daily with out the mess or daily trips to the grocery store in order to keep the fruits and veggies at home fresh and not bruising. Sensible Foods is exactly what the name says, the sensible way to provide fresh and nutritious while still delicious and flavorful fruits and vegetables year round!!
Chocolite Sugar-Free Protein Bar: A delicious moist protein bar with half the calories and twice the fiber! Chocolite Sugar-Free Protein Bars are great nutritional snacks that work with most diets, including Weight Watchers, South Beach and Atkins. Traditional protein bars are high in calories and sugar, but Chocolite Protein Bars are only 100 calories and sugar FREE!
Photo from HealthSmartFoods.com |
My Review: We received the Chocolite Sugar-Free Cookies N Cream Protein Bar from KalorieBox. Dan likes things high in protein and definitely loves chocolate! In all honesty he probably eats more chocolate then most women, but shhh I didn't tell you all that. He often tries to get me to try his protein bars or shakes, but I normally really do not like the taste and texture of them. Neither of us usually even attempt to try things that are sugar-free as he assumes they are gross and I know from experience with a diabetic grandma that most bars and candies that are sugar-free are pretty bad tasting, but we tried the Chocolite anyways.... we both liked it! I actually liked something with three layers of protein, caramel and chocolate.
Pirate's Booty Puffs: Pirate's Brand has made a delicious baked rice and corn puff that is all natural, Gluten and Trans Fat FREE. We all know Pirates like their run aged to perfection, but Pirate's Brand says Pirates also like their cheddar the same way, aged to perfection. The Aged White Cheddar is made from puffed rice and corn, blended with real aged white cheddar cheese and baked perfectly to pirates standards. They love to keep their ingredients simple, so no need to search online.
My Review: Our boys shared the Aged White Cheddar Pirate's Booty Puffs and loved it! There was not a single piece left and they asked for more! What a great snack for two toddlers, or anyone, than a snack that you know exactly what is in it and how it was made. Love to keep our boys snacks simple and healthy.
Pacific Organic Almond Milk: Pacific Organic Almond Milk is made using real almonds, water, a little organic cane sugar and a hint of vanilla. What makes this non-dairy beverage taste so delicious is that they combined simple, whole ingredients and vitamins without those artificial fillers or additives.
My Review: Almond Milk can be used as an alternative to dairy when baking, cooking or even in your morning cereal. The Almond Milk we received was in a convenient single, 8 ounce serving. While Cade is allergic to tree nuts, Ezio is not. I have been a bit curious as to the taste of Almond milk, but chickened out and let Ezio drink it. He is not a picky toddler, unlike his brother and seemed to really like the Almond milk. I love that Almond milk is a great alternative to soy, we are not fans of soy.
Nature's Hollow Sugar Free Maple Syrup: Made with a great tasting healthful natural sweetener called Xylitol which is a 5-carbon sugar alcohol that is ideal fro diabetics and those concerned about sugar intake. Xylotil, unlike sugar, has a very low glycemic index, has fewer calories and is good for your teeth. Wait! Did I just say a sweetener was good for your teeth? Yes, I sure did!
My Review: Dan loves maple syrup on his pancakes, waffles and french toast so I was excited when I opened the bubble wrapped glass bottle and discovered it was maple syrup as we had just run out. Funny how somethings happen hey? I was a bit worried that he wouldn't like it because it is sugar free, but like those Fiber One commercials I thought to myself if he doesn't see the bottle, he'll never know right? Sure enough he liked it, did make a comment about it tasting a little different then the usual sugar filled syrup we have used in the past, but it wasn't a complaint of disgust. Success! My grandma is diabetic and I let her try some of the Nature's Hollow Sugar Free Maple Syrup and she loved it. She asked me a couple times if I was sure it was sugar free, so I looked up Nature's Hollow to help reassure her, she was just in such disbelief due to the delicious taste of the syrup.

Splat Hair Color Review
About Splat & Developlus
Splat Hair Color was founded by Developlus. Developlus was founded in the early 90's, they were the first to create a developer with less than 1% ammonia and became the pioneers of that technology. First started out as a small hair color developer company and has grown into a multimillion dollar corporation in almost two decades. The company offers a wide range of products from color care shampoos and conditions, luxury hair dyes and to their highly acclaimed beauty miracle- Color Oops. They have worked closely with the top beauty industry professionals, chemists and hair colorists in the past two decades to help ensure that their products are always at the cutting edge of technology and are at least a few strides ahead of the competition. Splat Hair Color is NOT tested on animals!
Crimson Obsession & Blue Envy
I was so excited to try out the Crimson Obsession and Blue Envy hair color from Splat! My hair has always been pretty plain. Bleh! I have very dark brown hair, most people think my hair is black. The only colors I've had in my hair were bleach blond highlights, I wanted red highlights, but the stylist doing my hair insisted that the bleach blond high lights looked great and she didn't want to add the color. The lady that did my hair was a friend of my mom's so I just took her word for it, boy did I regret that! I hated the blond highlights. :/ Eh, thankfully my hair grows pretty quick so once it grew out I just get a trim. The second time I had color added to my hair was several years later and it was finally my red highlights I had wanted for a while. A friend of mine is a Nail Technician and Cosmetologist, she actually listens to what her clients (even close friends) want and provides them with the best results. After those highlights started to fade out I had a box of some crappy hair dye, it was red, but did NOT come with bleach like the Splat Complete Kits so with my dark hair you could hardly even see the red color. Also with the box of red (not Splat at the time) it burned my scalp and made my head itch pretty bad. That last experience really made me a bit nervous to dye my hair again, but boy am I glad I decided to go through with it!!
Splat Complete Kits
The Splat Complete Kits come with everything you need to achieve the vivid color you want!
The kit includes: Splat lightening bleach and Splat Oxide Hair Color (3oz.) with easy to follow instructions and a pair of gloves!
Let the experimenting BEGIN! EEK!
My good friend did my hair for me as it is just above my waist and I didn't want to attempt dying my own way too long hair! She used both bottles of bleach, working from my roots outward. The bleach of course doesn't have a very pleasant smell, what bleach does?! But, we were both stuffed in her pretty small bathroom and even though the door was open, there was no fan or ventilation for the smell. That's okay we both survived.
I am a VERY impatient person! Because my hair is so dark I had to let the bleach sit in my hair for about an hour! As we all know what happens with bleach on clothing, furniture, etc I stood the entire time because I did not want to ruin anything of my friend's on accident. After an hour of waiting, I rinsed my head and then had to let my hair dry before we could add the color. I have a lot of hair and no hair dryer! My hair takes quite a while to try. I'm not complaining, but again I'm just that impatient that even though we had our 5 kids running around I still just wanted to get the color in so I see what exciting hair I would have!
After rinsing and waiting for my hair to dry it was finally time to add the color!! We discussed how I wanted it, red on top and blue underneath. Sounds pretty simple eh? It was an easy task, but we didn't think about how we would keep the colors separate once the dye was in my hair.
Yes, she most definitely did put saran wrap to keep the two colors from running together. It was an awesome idea and worked PERFECTLY!!! Oh, and she also applied a small amount of petroleum jelly on my head around my hair line. It helps keep the color off your skin and easier to wipe off so your forehead is not dyed different colors.
I only had to wait about 45 minutes for the color to set in and then I was able to rinse my head. Her cold water in her shower is ICE COLD! Eeek! It made my hands and head hurt so bad because it was so cold. To think I've lived in Wisconsin my entire life and for shower water to be cold enough to hurt my hands and head, that was some freaking cold water! But I survived. You rinse until the water running down the tub is clear, which NEVER happened for me, there was also still quite a bit of hair color on my scalp.

You rinse until the water running down the tub is clear, which NEVER happened for me, there was also still quite a bit of hair color on my scalp.
I like the Crimson Obsession. The above photo makes it appear to be brown under the red, but it is not, there just was not very good lighting in her kitchen.
Blue Envy is a great color!! I will admit, I was quite nervous about the blue, but I like it as well!
Crimson Obsession (Red) and Blue Envy, I love my hair! When I wear my hair down, most people do not notice the blue, but I usually wear my hair up in a pony tail or bun. I've already got plans for the next two colors I'd like.
Also, there was some of both colors left over, which I can use for touch-ups! Woot!
UPDATE! After the first initial wash, I washed my hair again several days later, not in hot water and with a colored treated specialized shampoo. The color finally came off of my scalp, but the whole bottom half (furthest from scalp, about where you would put a pony tail holder and downwards) of my hair is no longer blue or red. I now have an ugly stripped/bleached hair color exposed since the color washed out of my hair!
Apparently even if your hair gets wet from rain, sweat, etc the color will start to bleed. Be careful what shirt you wear if you ever decide to use Splat, the back of the neckline on my shirts are now dyed blue and the color does not come off of clothing as easily as it does your hair!!
Not sure why I had to strip (bleach) my hair in the first place if the color was just going to bleed completely out with the first wash or if it were to have gotten wet another way! I'm also not sure why the directions state to leave the hair color in for 45 minutes for the color to last 3-6 months, when mine washed out as soon as I washed my hair! What are you not supposed to shower, be in the rain, sweat, etc while Splat is in your hair in order to maintain the color for 3-6 months?!
I would NOT recommend Splat to anyone, even if they were just looking for a temporary color for a night out. Myself and my sister have both used temporary colors and I have to say they last LONGER then the Splat. I'm rather dissatisfied with Splat and am sorry to have to inform my readers of this, I was pleased with the colors of my hair, but am now stuck with UGLY bleached hair from the neck down!

Old Man Murray's Handmade Soap!
About Old Man Murray's
Old Man Murray's all natural soaps are made by hand using basic organic ingredients such as the highest quality USDA certified organic vegetable oils, pure essential plant oils and herbs. They never use synthetic fragrances, colorants or preservatives. The result of using the finest quality ingredients is a superior bar of soap that is better for your skin and kinder to our plant!
Benefits of Organic Soaps for Sensitive Skin & Eczema?
Organic handmade soaps from Old Man Murray's contain no synthetics. Their products are completely free of irritants. Even soaps that doctors recommend contain many superfluous chemicals that will irritate your skin. While these soaps cannot heal skin conditions like eczema, they are so pure and mild that regular use will minimize common symptoms like redness and itchiness. The Honey Butter soap is perfect for people with highly sensitive skin.
As many of my readers already know both Cade (almost 3y) and Ezio (15m) have eczema. Myself and Jedilynn (7y) have dry itchy skin during the winter months due to it becoming so dry through the cold months.
Old Man Murray's soaps are 100% FREE of :
- Parabens
- Alcohol
- Petroleum
- Artificial Dyes
- Artificial Fragrances
Our Old Man Murray's Soaps!
We received the Big Sky Country, Lavender and of course Honey Butter!
Big Sky Country
Big Sky Country is a blend of sage, lemongrass and mint with exfoliating calendula petals from Montana's prairie lands. Big Sky country has a 20% coconut oil base which provides a quick, rich and moisturizing lather. Popular for both men and women, think of a pristine wide-open space with fresh, clean air!
I got Big Sky Country for Dan, but unfortunately he did not care for this scent so I use it for myself. I like using Big Sky Country in the morning, it's a nice refreshing start to my day.
Lavender
Lavender is great for unwinding after a long day as well as a good de-stress with the soothing fragrances of luxurious pure lavender essential oils and comfrey root which soothes and hydrates your skin. Great for both men and women alike. Also has a base of 20% coconut oil which provides a quick, rich and moisturizing lather.
I chose Lavender for myself and the children. We LOVE Lavender! I used to use the commercial baby bath and baby bedtime lotions as they contained lavender, but they also have all of those harsh chemicals and with the boys having eczema I no longer feel comfortable using those on them. Lavender helps soothe the mind and is great for those of all ages to get a good nights sleep, allowing you to fall asleep a bit easier.
Honey Butter
Honey Butter is a rich and nutritious soap that is great for extra sensitive skin as it is unscented. It is made with Certified Fair Trade unrefined shea butter with a touch of honey and finely ground oatmeal which acts as the most gentle of exfoliators. Also has a 20% coconut oil base providing a quick, rich and moisturizing lather.
Honey Butter is great for the whole family, whether you have sensitive skin or not! This one is my absolute favorite! This is perfect for my boys and has helped to soothe their skin so much. They are no longer as itchy and I've seen a LOT less rashes/patches on them of their eczema. I also use this and my skin is so nice and soft, as soft as the boys. Who doesn't want baby toddler soft skin?! Our bar of Honey Butter is almost gone!! I'm rather sad about it, but we will just have to order more.
All of the Old Man Murray's soaps lather amazingly well, clean your skin and the Honey Butter even helps exfoliate! Not only that, but it helps to lessen and soothe my two son's eczema, which is a HUGE plus!

Our very FIRST Wordless Wednesday!
Apparently Ezio was too cool to drink his Capri Sun from a straw! haha. I've never seen a kid drink their Capri Sun like this.
Our first walk to the park and Ezio's first time wearing shoes. I'm a strong believer that shoes should not be put on a baby or toddlers feet until several months after they are walking on their own. He only tripped a couple times when we first left the house.
Cade on our walk to the park, he loves sunglasses and hoods or hats. Yes, his sunglasses are purple, but he could care less what color they are. However he would LOVE green or blue sunglasses.
See you next week for more Wordless-Wednesday!!
