I receive complimentary products from companies for blog and social media review through the Tomoson blogging website. By signing up to review a product; I agree to post a review on amazon, my blog and other social media sites within 30 days of receiving the product.

Unfortunately, sometimes I have issues with companies sending me the proper product or not liking something that was sent to me for review. Typically I would just let it go, or just not post a bad review; but when I do this, my Tomoson blogger rank goes down because I’m not posting a review on a product within the 30 days that was promised.

So, in this case I am posting a bad review of a product that I never got. I was suppose to get an Ocean Mineral Cleanse by OZ Naturals; but after several email attempts I was answered one time that said they mailed it to me. Which is not the case because orders go through Amazon and I don’t have a record of the order. I requested that they remove me from off their list so I wouldn’t have to leave a bad review since I have a 30 day posting deadline; but all my emails have been unanswered.

Sadly, other Tomoson bloggers have said the same thing at using OZ Naturals.

Overeating is OVER!
Introducing…
MealEnders!!
The Antidote to overeating!

I was given 4 full size bags complimentary from the company for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

DUO-SENSORY TASTE SYSTEM™
MealEnders’ active-taste formula rewards and resets your taste buds, distracting you from the temptation to overindulge. First the delicious Reward Layer treats you to the sweet taste of dessert – a signal we typically associate with the end of a meal. Then the Inner Core’s Active-Taste Layer releases a proprietary blend of gentle, cool tingling sensations on the tongue, which engage the trigeminal nerve, distracting your mind from the urge to continue overeating. You can feel your MealEnder go to work instantly.

What’s in a MealEnder?
MealEnders’ unique duo sensory taste formula is made from a stimulant-free blend of flavors and ingredients, all held to the highest food safety standards. MealEnders contain only 2 grams of sugar and 15 calories per piece. The outer Reward Layer is made from premium dessert ingredients. Our chocolate-covered flavors, for example, use fine Guittard chocolate. The inner Active-Taste layer relies upon MealEnders’ proprietary blend of natural and artificial food flavors that we call the Actissert™ Blend.

Gluten Free-Low Fat-Kosher
No Drugs-No Herbs-No High Fructose Corn Syrup

With MealEnders, you’ll start to sense the difference between hunger and appetite. You’ll have a secret weapon against those diet-destroying extra bites. And you’ll start taking small, but powerful steps toward healthy living.

They offer 4 Flavors to choose from:
*CHOCOLATE MINT
Delicious chocolate draped around a tingling mint center.
*CINNAMON
Cinnamon coating melts into a tingling apple cinnamon center.
*CITRUS
Key lime confectionery coating melts into a tingling citrus center.
*MOCHA
Delicious chocolate melts into a tingling coffee center.

Each bag has 25 lozenges and each signaling lozenge contains only 2 grams of sugar and 15 calories. You can purchase one bag for $14.95 or 3 bags for $34.95! and get FREE SHIPPING on their website thru March.

I just purchased 3 bags for $25!

I really really enjoyed the Chocolate Mint flavor the best! My second favorite is the Citrus. I would have one of these lozenges in the afternoon while at work when I feel the need to stress snack or mindlessly snack. I would suck on the MealEnder (you NEVER bite it) until the outer chocolate layer would dissolve and then the inner layer would dissolve. It’s hard to describe the inner layer. They were both so different and it did “trigger” my body to no longer feel the need to eat!

I’ve gone through the entire bag and have ordered more because I liked them so much. The lozenges are good, no weird after taste or anything yucky. I would highly recommend this product!

Are you ready for a GIVEAWAY??

Every little chapter in this book shares a personal story followed by some godly words of wisdom, things to ponder, and scriptures. Then at the end of every chapter she shares “a moment of introspection” which are some questions to ask yourself that relate to what was just shared in the chapter.

There are 68 chapters and each chapter is only 2 or 3 pages, so it can easily be read every day. I found it uplifting, real, personal, and enlightening.

I also loved reading the intro of this book! I learned that her book spans over 23 years worth of stories and thoughts of raising her 7 children. I think it’s great that she took the time to put together this book and made the effort to use her real life examples and experiences to teach others.

I was given a complimentary copy of this book from LitFuse Publicity in exchange for an honest review on my blog and social media-all opinions are my own.

About the book:
How Many Times Do I Have to Tell You?

You’ve probably said these things to your kids, but have you listened to what you’re saying?

“I remember the day you were born.”

“Turn down the music!”

“This is going to hurt me more than it’s going to hurt you.”

“Hold my hand.”

Your heavenly Father wants to tell you many of these same things. Rachael Carman knows how noisy it can be when you’re raising children—she has seven! But this lovely devotional book will help you to hear God’s still, small voice amid the chaos of carpools, cut fingers, and carpet crawlers. You’ll learn how to recognize God’s instructions for you, even as you seek to follow His example as a parent.

About the author:
Rachael Carman is an author and speaker for Apologia Educational Ministries. The wife of Davis and the mother of seven children, Rachael challenges parents to live by reckless, obedient faith. As a direct reflection of her heart’s desire to encourage, inspire, and celebrate motherhood, Rachael also leads Real Refreshment Retreats, weekend events that energize and invigorate homeschooling mothers with meaningful worship and speakers plus practical encouragement for the homeschool journey.

This product mixed up smoothly in a shaker cup-didn’t even need to blend it! Typically I have issues with whey protein but I didn’t have any issues with this particular brand. The overall taste was good, but it had a slight after taste for me so I gave the other 2 sample packets to my husband to try and see what he thought. He said he loved drinking it with milk, and along with a banana, it was the perfect combination to eat after his shift at work.

I like that you can buy 3 sample packets so you can see how you like it before you invest in buying a whole container. I received 3 chocolate sample packets from the company complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

There are class action lawsuits cases against those companies (Mostly National Brands). We don’t MAKE PROTEIN COMPLEX Whey Protein Isolate with Whey concentrate to bring cost down.

I was sent this product complimentary for blog and social media review. All opinions are my own.

I’m not a salsa person, but my husband and oldest son are, so I knew they would LOVE to try this out!!

Here’s what they said:
Habanero Salsa is rated 9/10. I felt like this would be too hot so my son, so I brought it to work to share with my co workers with some chips. It was a big hit! 4 other people besides me, tried it, liked it and even wrote down the bottle name so they can buy it. One of my co workers said that the corn really gave it a nice sweet taste and the habernaro really zested things up well! Not too hot to enjoy, but I love extra spicy hot things. I also like that they didn’t add unnecessary ingredients to the salsa.

Habanero Salsa by SalsaCrazy (yes, the same people that brought you the amazing learn to Salsa Dance DVDs).

INGREDIENTS: Tomatoes, vinegar, various chiles, corn, Habanero Salsa that’s a delicious, hot, all-around salsa with great garden flavor and chunks of tomato, corn, and green chile.

It’s not too hot to eat, and it’s packed with flavor. You’ll love the familiar healthy and home-made salsa flavor with a healthy dose of chile peppers and garlic that make this an extraordinary and versatile table salsa.
