Fresh Fruit Vinegars by Mange Review - #fruitvinegars

Mangé Fresh Fruit Vinegars
Bringing culinary delights to your home.

Mangé

Mangé brings the tastes of gastronomical restaurants to your home. Sauces are the best kept secret and the most critical element to great dishes. Mangé is a company set up to provide people with just that, sauces that can turn your home cooking into a gastronomical dish.

Mangé’s fresh fruit vinegars are made using fruit that has been picked at its peak, puréed and preserved in vinegar. The process allows the vinegar to capture the essence of each fruit’s natural flavor, creating a brilliant burst of fruitful flavor that can be added to any appetizer, entrée, dessert or cocktail.

My Thoughts:

I received sample sized bottles of the Green Apple - Pomme Verte and Blackberry - Mure Fresh Fruit Vinegars for my review. Both had a pleasing fresh fruity flavor. Although Mange' has several delicious recipes on their website I decided that a salad from my garden was how I would enjoy my vinegar. I mixed each with a small amount of flaxseed oil to make a very simple and delicious vinegarette.

Fresh Fruit Vinegar Flavors: Blackberry, Blood Orange, Cherry, Fig, Green Apple, Mango, Passion Fruit, Pear, Raspberry, Red Pepper and White Peach

I highly recommend trying these awesome vinegars for yourself.

My Thoughts

I received my Fresko Salt and Pepper Mill and Grinder quickly and was excited to test it out on some cucumbers from the garden. I never had one for my salt so it was a nice treat to have some sea salt on them. Getting the pepper adjustment just right took a couple of tries. The grind was even and consistent when I got it set. I am very happy with my set.

The Ozeri Fresko Stainless Steel Salt and Pepper Mill and Grinder's small size makes it perfect for use at the dinning table, restaurants, or when traveling. When we travel my set will be going with me. Were would you use yours?

QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 #QSpeedCoQ10 #Review

6/17/2014

Comments

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

If you're looking for the best taste and quality in your heart health supplement, you have to check out the award winning QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10.

QSpeed CoQ10 100mg Fast-Melt Tablets:

Delicious Natural Orange Flavor. No chalky aftertaste.
Sugar Free | Gluten Free | Vegetarian | Non-GMO Ingredients | Made in Switzerland | Patented Technology
Fast-Melting Tablet for Optimal Absorption. Clinically proven to increase CoQ10 levels.
100% Natural CoQ10 | Also available in 200mg and 400mg dosage strengths
Superior Taste Award from iTQi | Better Nutrition's Magazine Best of Supplements Award Winner

Product Description:

QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 (Coenzyme Q10) is clinically tested and proven to be effective.
Coenzyme Q10 is a nutrient found in every cell within the body and plays an essential role in the production of energy and overall heart health. The human body manufactures its own CoQ10 but levels diminish with age. Certain medications, such as cholesterol lowering statin drugs can also further deplete the body from this vital nutrient.
The Award Winning Heart Health Supplement is internationally recognized for taste and quality. Nuline Nutritionals utilizes a patented formulation that creates a tablet that melts in your mouth in seconds, while also delivering a full dosage in just a single tablet.
Nuline Nutritionals guarantee is that QSpeed will always be sugar free, gluten free, caffeine free, free from artificial flavorings, coloring, and preservatives, and each ingredient to be non-GMO. QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 is top quality, as Nuline Nutritionals only utilizes 100% natural CoQ10.
QSpeed is a great alternative to pills and capsules, as no water is needed. Just pop the tablet in your mouth, and it will melt immediately with a great taste.

My Thoughts

I spent a substantial amount of time researching CoQ10 and unless you are a big fan of organ meats, soy oil, sardines, mackerel, and peanuts which have high levels of Coenzyme Q10 you're not getting enough in your diet to receive all the health benefits CoQ10 offers. Such as, helping enzymes work to digest food and perform other body processes, helping protect the heart and skeletal muscles, and producing the energy your body needs for cell growth and maintenance.

Just like promised the QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 Tablets are easy to take and tasted great. I would recommend QSpeed Fast-Melt CoQ10 to anyone looking for a Coenzyme Q10 supplement for a healthier lifestyle.

LEGO® Movie Review

My son saw the LEGO® Movie with a friend when it came out in February and hasn't stopped talking about it since. The LEGO® Movie, the first-ever, full-length theatrical LEGO® adventure, directed by Phil Lord & Christopher Miller is an original 3D computer animated story that follows Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. He is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously under-prepared. Chris Pratt (Moneyball) stars as the voice of Emmet. Will Ferrell (The Campaign) stars as the voice of his primary adversary, President Business, an erudite, anal-retentive CEO who has a hard time balancing world domination with micro-managing his own life; while Liam Neeson (Taken) voices the president's powerful henchman, known as Bad Cop, who will stop at nothing to catch Emmet. Starring as Emmet's fellow travelers are Oscar® winner Morgan Freeman (Million Dollar Baby), as Vitruvius, an old mystic; Elizabeth Banks (The Hunger Games, Emmy nominee for 30 Rock), as tough-as-nails Lucy, who mistakes Emmet for the savior of the world and guides him on his quest; Will Arnett (Emmy nominee, 30 Rock), as the mysterious Batman, a LEGO minifigure with whom Lucy shares a history; Nick Offerman (NBC's Parks and Recreation) as a craggy, swaggering pirate, obsessed with revenge on President Business; and Alison Brie (Community) as a sweet, loveable member of the team, with a powerful secret.

PRO Compression Marathon Socks #keepittight Giveaway - 6/30

PRO Compression FAQs

How will PRO Compression socks feel on my feet?

Compared to your off-the shelf golf socks or standard athletic socks, compression socks – and all compression garments – will feel tighter than you’re used to. It’s also the reason you’ll feel better than ever!

You will immediately notice the special support and padding given to the soles of your feet and your ankles if you’re wearing our Marathon sock. It isn’t until the rubber hits the road that you will truly experience the magic of PRO Compression socks as they prevent you from getting those nasty ‘hot’ spots, provide you with optimal tendon support and reduce muscle vibration.

What will your socks do for my legs and feet?

From the moment you slip on a pair of PRO Compression socks you will benefit from the science and comfort behind the ‘graduated compression’ technology that is felt mainly around the ankle.

Whether at rest, playing a round of golf or running a marathon, your PRO Compression socks are working to circulate blood back to your heart and lungs. With more efficient circulation comes less fatigue and your tired muscles are replenished with fresh oxygen and nutrients to reduce soreness and give you the extra stamina needed to exert yourself at the fullest.

Can I wear your compression socks even though I’m not training?

Yes. PRO Compression socks are super comfortable and padded in all the right places, reducing every-day stress your feet and legs go through during normal activity.

Some say our socks feel like a second skin offering the optimal amount of compression to keep muscles toned and supported. We’ve also heard from customers in colder climates that who say they wear our socks exclusively because they are the only sock that keeps their toes toasty and warm as a result of the circulation-inducing properties of the material.

GIVEAWAY

One lucky reader will win a pair of Marathon compression socks of their choosing!
Ends 6/30

Can't wait?
Use the code COMP40 to save 40% off any Marathon-style compression sock or sleeve.

6/16/2014

Comments

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

What's Your Preference ?

Light, Medium, or Dark Roast
Flavored or Unflavored

The Java Factory Variety Pack let's you sample several awesome coffees.

Java Factory Variety Pack Single Cup Coffee:

Try a bunch of different flavors and roasts and figure out which one you like best
For use with all Keurig K-cup compatible brewers
Smooth Caffeinator, Da Bomb, Dark and Handsome, Wakey Wakey, Choconut and Vanilla Dream

Product Description

About Java Factory

At the factory, we carefully hand craft each of our specialty roasts with an obsessive attention to detail because we love coffee as much as you do. We labor over every flavor, note, and aroma to bring you coffees that are so smooth and flavorful you’ll want to drink them all day long.

Single-serve Keurig-compatible cups
100% fresh roasted Arabica coffee
Filter system delivers more taste per cup
Enjoy the fun side of coffee. We had fun making it so you could have fun drinking it.

Single-Serve Filter Technology

What makes our single-serve coffee so good? Well, our 100% Arabica beans are perfectly roasted and ground for a robust, never-bitter flavor you’ll love. The real secret is the single-serve, Java Factory cup. It’s just proven to be better. In fact, an independent laboratory coffee testing found that our advanced caged filter system causes "turbulation" within the grounds, helping the coffee diffuse better throughout the cup, and enhancing the flavor.

Quality First

A great cup of coffee starts with the beans, and we have a checklist to make sure the factory is rolling out the very best cup of coffee we can. We hand-inspect the coffees before and after roasting to make sure they meet our standards. We're just as meticulous in the way we grind our beans as in the way we perform our selection process. The grinding technique is one of the most important factors that contributes to the high-quality taste of Java Factory coffee. Our roasting system ensures a smooth, full-bodied taste that’s never bitter or acidic even in the darker roasts. Each of the coffees are expertly roasted so the beans have a rich, well-balanced flavor. We scrutinize each of our single-serve cups for consistency, making sure every cup is filled precisely with the specified amount of coffee grounds to give it optimal flavor. Finally, we hand-check every completed cup. If it’s not perfect, it’s not going anywhere. You could say we’re obsessed with perfection. But, at Java Factory, we like to think that we’re just crazy about our coffee.

Java Factory Line-up

Java Factory flavored coffees are gently roasted to provide the right amount of richness and the perfect backdrop for our delicious flavors with any overpowering bitterness. Add your favorite sweetener for enhanced flavor.

Wakey Wakey - Light Roast

Even if you’re not a morning person, a cup of this coffee makes the wee hours—dare we say—enjoyable. Perfect for waking up your taste buds, this roast packs a bright, crisp taste without the slightest hint of bitterness. Our light roasts is delicious and subtle blend that delivers floral, crisp tones paired with full bodied texture.

Da Bomb - Extra Bold Double Caffeinated

Yes, this coffee comes with a warning label. Exploding with flavor and with double the caffeine of a regular cup of coffee, this extra-bold brew will leave you buzzing. Unless you plan on pulling an all-nighter, this brew is best for your morning rush. This extra-bold, dark roast coffee contains double the amount of caffeine found in a regular 8 oz single serve cup of coffee.

Smooth Caffeinator - Medium Roast

Bold yet mild, full bodied and mellow, not too weak and not too strong—if we gave this flavor profile to an online matchmaker, we’d score a lot of coffee dates. A good medium-roast coffee should be robust yet mellow, bold and full bodied, and at the same time silky smooth. We captured the perfect balance for a rich, even flavor in the Java factory Roasters medium coffee.

Vanilla Dream - Vanilla + Butter Toffee Flavored Coffee

Who said that vanilla was boring? Infused with smooth vanilla flavor and the tongue-tantalizing taste of butter toffee, this dreamy brew offers vanilla’s naysayers a much-needed reality check. Slip into the sublime with this gently flavored light roast.

Dark and Handsome - Dark Roast

One mug of this velvety, bold coffee and the rich aroma, sultry smoky notes, and oh-so-smooth flavor will have you humming your favorite slow jam. To achieve the perfect dark roast, the dark and handsome beans are removed from the roaster right before they reach their peak roasting point so they retain their mellow smokiness without any of the burnt aftertaste.

Choconut - Chocolate + Coconut Flavored Coffee

Peanut butter and jelly, salt and pepper, apple pie and ice cream — some things were just made to go together. That’s why we’ve blended chocolate, coconut, and coffee into one decadent combination. Whether you’re nuts about chocolate or crazy for coconut, these luscious flavors will satisfy your cravings.

My Thoughts

I have a new favorite coffee! Java Factory's Vanilla Dream is heaven in a cup.

While Vanilla Dream was my favorite, I enjoyed all the different coffees in the variety box. Each one was smooth, flavorful, and delicious. My boyfriend tried several different ones. He liked taste and the kick that Da Bomb - Extra Bold Double Caffeinated offered. The variety box lets us both have our favorites.

I would highly recommend Java Factory Single Cup Coffee to anyone who loves a great cup of coffee.

GIVEAWAY

Two Rivers Coffee has offered one of my readers a 40 count box of Java Factory Single Cup Coffee for Keurig K Cup Brewers of their own.
