TATES GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

09/09/2011

One of my friends told me about these gluten free cookies.  I decided to try them
Tates Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies are delicious .
They are light Crispy  and a nice treat to have on hand for your friends and family.
No one would know that they are gluten free.
They are located in South Hampton NY  Their telephone number is 1-631-780 6511 and their website is www.tatesbakeshop.com
Serving Size is 1 cookie and it has 80 calories for 1 cookie
It has 6 grams of sugar  in them.
They cost for one bag of cookies 4.99 I  think they are worth it they are really a very good cookie as they say try them you will like them and you will come back for more.
These cookies are all natural they are made up of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips, Sugar Chocolate Liquor  Cocoa Butter Milk  Fat soy lecithin ( an emulsifier ) Vanilla Rice Flour Butter Sugar Brown Sugar  Eggs Vanilla Extract Baking Soda Salt Xanthen  and Water
These cookies would be perfect to have in your  child's lunch or have it  for yourself  for an afternoon treat with some nice tea.
I love  that in the late afternoon to wind down from the day sit back and relax with my favorite gluten free  cookies or treats  with  tea.  This is my time to test my favorite goodies that I choose to report to you  on my blog .  I hope you like what you have seen so far on my blog.

NUGO NUTRITION BARS

09/09/2011

Nugo Nutrition Bars

Some of these bars do have oats in them so read the ingredients they will say on them if they are gluten free
The ones that I am telling you about are gluten free. 


I just found these nutrition bars online under their website www.nugonutrition.com
These nutrition bars are really very good and of course they are very good for you .  I tried the Nugo Slim Bar which is a Dark Chocolate Brownie bar.  These  bars are low in sugar high in protein and have lots of fiber in them. The Nugo Slim Bars have 15 grams of Protein 2 grams of sugar and 9 grams of fiber.  There are 170 calories in this bar and the flavors for this nutrition bars are as follows
Dark Chocolate Crunch
Roasted Peanut
Chocolate Raspberry Truffle


The Nugo Free Bars are Gluten free Vegan and Soy Free..  These nutrition bars are also Dairy Free  .
The flavors for these nutrition bars are as follows
Dark Chocolate Crunch
Dark Chocolate Trail Mix
Carrot Cake
The Nugo Free bars have 9 grams of protein 4 grams of fiber and 11 grams of sugar

Nugo 10 Bars
Nugo 10 bars anre packed with raw natural energy with three fruits 3 nuts and 3 and 4 seeds.
Nugo 10 is high in Fiber Gluten Free Diary Free Soy Free and is made in a peanut free society
The flavors for these bars are
Cranberry
Apple Cinnamon
Lemon


Crispy Cat Candy Bars
These candy bars are Gluten Free and Dairy Free they have three flavors to choose from
Mint Coconut
Toasted Almond
Chocolate Sundae
They have 210 calories for each bar and they have 2 grams of fiber 2 grams of protein and 12 grams of sugar

I have only tried a couple of these nutrition bars but they are really good and they do take the edge off for when you are craving something sweet but with a good nutritional value to it and something satisfying .  These are the bars to go to. They are perfect for when you just want to take the edge off without sabotaging  all your  hard work with your diet

One of the things I really like about these nutriiton bars is that the majority of them are low in sugar high in fiber and are gluten free so it takes care of both worlds if you  are a type 1 diabetic type 2 diabetic and have Celiac Disease..  These bars will also be good to pack in your  kids lunch boxes so they can have a treat along with having good nutrition from it without them knowing they are having something great tasting and something that will help them from the inside out and it might help them learn more with all the protein and fiber in it. 

The website again is wwwnugonutrition.com and they can be reached at 1 888 421 2132.  They are located in Oakmont PA. On their website they do have a store locator to check where you  can purchase these bars.  .

Thank you

PRODUCT REVIEWS FROM THE WEBSITE www.all-gluten-free.com

09.06.2011

I love love this website it has everything , it is one stop shopping for all your  personal care needs..
Thi is the website where I told you  about the great detergent they have.  I just ordered and received their gluten free nail polish, hand and body cream and their nail polish remover all of these products are all natural and gluten free.
You go to the website www.all-gluten-free.com  You will be directed to a website called www.noglutennaturalgirlproducts.com
You will then go the heading on the left  hand side for girls products
I chose the Loving Naturals Unscented Hemp Hand and Body Lotion.  This product is fantastic of course it is all natural but it is a nice thick lotion a little goes along way..
It  is made from Purified Water Organic Sun Flower Oil, Organic Aloe Vera Gel Organic Vegetable Glycerin
Cele aryl Alcohol  ( derived from Organic Coconut Oil )  Organic Honey Organic Hemp Seed Oil
Organic Blue Green Algae  Sea salt with harvested Aspen Bark
This products sinks right into your skin without feeling heavy or greasy.  It instantly   feels like their is a barrier of moisture on your skin.
This to me is a perfect moisturizer particularly with the winter months coming out soon.  I feel like I am well prepared now for old man winter to try to do harm to my skin but I have my weapon of choice my new lotion Loving Naturals Unscented Hemp Hand and Body lotion.

I never heard of an all natural gluten  free  natural nail polish but I am so glad that there is one. To take a look at this you would go to the website again www.all-gluten-free.com then go under the heading Natural Girl Products and hit the picture for the nail polish.  They will show you all the different colors to choose from..  The color I chose was Destiny.  It is a gorgeous color it is a pinkish Nude frost and it is really a very beautiful color..
The cost of the nail polish is 10.00  .  This is a nail polish that does not peel or chip. I love it it goes on very nicely..

All natural Nail Polish Remover, I never knew that there was this type of product wither but it does work very well and it is nice tha tit is all natural and made out botanical oils.  I am very much impressed with these products i hope you try them and I hope they do the same for you

Thank you

ANOTHER GREAT NATURAL LIQUID DETERGENT CHARLIES SOAP

09/03/2011

I just came across this all natural liquid detergent.  The name of the company is Charlies Soap
The website is www.charliesoap.com  They are located in North Carolina and their telephone number is 1 800 854 3541
One of the reasons why I like this detergent is that they do have a lot of locations of stores that carry this detergent in Pennsylvania.  All you have to do is go online to their website (www.charliesoap.com and look up the  store locator on the headings of their website.
I am sure if you do not live in Pennsylvania you can find this detergent close to you just do the same as  if you would do if you did live in PA.  Go  to the store locator and put your zip code in and you will find stores near you I am sure and if there is not a store near you they will ship it to you.  I just like this option so you do not have to have the extra cost of shipping charges.
I like this detergent also because it is easy to use it is made of all natural ingredients and it has a premeasured amount to use to  clean your clothes.
It is a little pricey but the results are very good for when your laundry comes out of your washer.
The cost for a bottle of the detergent is 27.99 for 32oz. bottle but if it means no itching and no reactions I am sold.
Charlie's Soap leaves no residue that can make your clothes stiff and irritating and it is especially good  for babies clothes and for people with allergies or for sensitive skin issues
I did have some really nasty dirty clothes which I put to the test.  These clothes had blood on them for when my cat had gotten scared with trying to get a tick off him.   He scratched me silly.  He has super sharp nails and he had dug deep into my arm which put some stains on my shirt and I also had some real grungy  clothes from my son.  I thought this would be a great test for this detergent and it came out quite well.  The stains were gone
I was impressed with the detergent and best of all no reactions
On the bottle it has a statement  at the bottom of the bottle great for the following stains grease,  grass,  blood, red clay,  red wine,  food stains , tar,  odors,  pine sap,  and poop.
I was a little bit concerned that an all natural laundry might not take out the blood stains from my cat but it did do a very good job.  I did first pretreated it rubbing a little bit on the sleeve  and then putting it in the laundry..  It did come out and my sons clothes were out of their grungy stage so I am impressed with this laundry  detergent and best of all like I said before no reactions to using it which is the best reason to try it.

Thank you

WALGREENS ONLINE CARE MEDICAL ID BRACELETS

09/02/2011

I just discovered that Walgreen's has Care Medial ID Bracelets
I ordered one of these bracelets, I love it it is very light weight it is waterproof and best of all it has all my medical information stored in the bracelet.  The way it works is that you get the bracelet which ranges from 14.99 to 19.99 plus shipping.  You have to go to the Walgreen's website which is www.walgreens.com  You then put in the search bar on their website Care Medial ID Bracelet.  . 
When you get the bracelet you unhook it it is made out of rubber with a clasp to it
It has a metal end to it when you unhook it this goes into your computer
You will be directed to their sight on  how to download your medical   information. You then will put all your medical information in a file that will be stored in the bracelet for when a medial staff can easy access it for when you can not let them know that you are a Celiac patient and can not have gluten. 
I am a Celiac patient plus a type 1 Diabetic
I also have high blood pressure.  You put all your information in  that they ask such as your doctor's name your Pharmacy name your medial information contact person and your insurance information. plus your blood type. 
I think this bracelet is important for Celiacs in case that for some reason you are unconscious and come in an ER you have the information letting the medical staff know that you have Celiac disease and can not have Gluten from  the get go.
The medial staff can call your doctor right away and get all the extra information that they may need plus  be able to notify your family members right away. .
The information that you store in the bracelet is not the easiest to set up you kind of have to figure things out for yourself but once you get the hang of it it is not that bad .  It is worth the minor inconvenience with putting the information in for you to have all your medical files in one spot .to let others know about  your medial needs for when you can not let others know about them yourself.

Thank you

NUTRIBIOTIC FRAGRANCE FREE SUPER SHOWER GEL

08/31/2011

Nutribiotic Super Shower gels is an all over moisturizing, hypoallergenic soap  free gel that moisturizes your skin and hair
it comes in fragrance free fruit or Vanila Chai scents This product has Grape Fruit  Seed Extract in it.  I do like this product very much
It is free of sodium lauryl sulfate it is free of chlorine derivatives colorings and paraben preservatives
It has plant moisturizers in it.  If you do not like the whole idea of shampoo bars this is not  one .  It's an all liquid gel that has 12 oz. and is super moisturizing for an all over head to foot spa like feel to it
The website is www.nutribiotic.com
Once you go on the website go to the heading of Body Care then go to The Nutribiotic Shower Gels
I chose the Fragrance Free Shower Gel since I am usually allergic to everything that has a scent to it.  I can have a few products that have scents in them but not many
I tried it out on my hair it was very nice it lathered very well and my hair was soft shinny and so far no reaction, always a plus with no reactions
I am impressed with this product it did  a great job and it is also all natural .
I like once again a product that does everything all in one.
I think you will be amazed with this product.
They also do have regular  moisturizing shampoos and conditioners but they  are not fragrance free
Once again the website is www.nutribiotic.com 
I just tried the Nutribiotic Fruit Conditioner and it was fantastic.
I had done a Henna coloring on my hair and my hair from it was a little bit fried from it I tried the conditioner and instantly my hair was like it  just got a jolt of steroids it  was soft and full of volume. I did not leave it in for very long it  was just a rinse through the difference was like night and day.   The shine to it is amazing and with the Henna the highlights are stunning you will love this product.
The Nutribiotic Shampoo Gel and Conditioner are like having a powerful boost in hair care .  The combination is like a knock out punch your hair is clean soft manageable and full of volume and shine all the aspects  of what you want in hair care .  T.he best part is that it is all natural

UPDATES ON PRODUCTS THAT I HAVE REVIEWED

08/30/2011

Canyon Bake House Breads are finally coming to Pennsylvania
The company found a distributor for the Pennsylvania area
I ordered a case from Holly Hill Health Food Store
they are located at      1200 Welsh Rd
                                 North Wales Pa  19454
                                 215 361 7770
Their hours of operation are Monday Tuesday Wednesday and Saturday 10-6 Thursday and Friday 10 - 9 and Sundays 11:00AM - 5 PM
The Canyon Bake House San Juan Bread will be at Holly Hill Health Food Store on Thursdday afternoon of this week
This bread is outstanding it is soft like real bread and it is almost the same size as real bread this is my ultimate favorite gluten free bread
Holly Hill Health Food Store at the Montgomery Coomons Shopping Center  is trying out this bread in their store so let them know you want it .  This is the only store in Pennsylvania that is carrying this bread
We have to let them know we want this bread so that it can come into other stores.
If this store is not close to you please find a health food store that is close to you call that store ask them if they would try bringing in this bread
If they say we do not have a distributor to bring it in Pennsylvania all you have to do is let them know that a fairly new distributor company has come in and they do carry the bread.  The name of the distributor company is Garden Spot Distributors.  they are located in New Holland PA, their telephone number is 1800 829 5100
The store that you have called will ask you if you want a whole case in most cases you will not have to buy a whole case just tell them up front you only want 1 loaf in most cases they will say that they prefer you buy two loaves.  this is not bad you figure if you had it delivered it would be more money then the two loaves
I am so excited that we can have this bread in Pennsylvania

The website www.all-gluten-free.com has many specials and sales  and some of them are free shipping so when you place order for them always look at their items that are on sale you might see free shipping for the item you want
I also wanted to let you know that their gluten free lipsticks are fantastic .  They ware very well and last a long time and they can be used as a blush also just put a dot or two on your cheeks and rub in You have instant blush




www.southlandsoap.com has come out with a Reality Conditioning shampoo bar you have a choice of having it with a coloring Henna bar or just a very rich herbal Conditioning bar.  I chose the Reality Herbal
conditioning  shampoo bar and it was great.  they also have a leave in conditioner called Smile which I really love  It is a very rich moisturizing leave in conditioner that you put a tiny dot in the palm of your  hand rub it in your hands after you towel dry your hair depending on how long your hair is and massage it into your hair.
My hair came out soft shinny and full of volume from both products

www.daddyjaxsoap.com  Still my ultimate favorite soap company you have got to try this soap my skin is back to normal and looks new again.  I also like this company because they do have an option for shipping that is free of charge so the only cost is the cost of the soap which is 6.95 plus tax.  I do not know of any company that has this option.  The soap feels like you are bathing with a soap and a cream.  I also use this soap as a shampoo and conditioner.  It is so nice to have one product that takes care of all my needs

I will be doing some more reviews on some new products this week and will let you know about them

Thank you
