Harvest Snaps Snapea Crisps and Lentil Snaps Snack Box Review + Giveaway!

I think the first time I tried Harvest Snaps was when I received a sample of the Lightly Salted Snapea Crisps in my PINCHme box last November. I was immediately hooked, so I was excited when I received my Harvest Snaps Snack Box just a few days ago. I wasn't aware that there are five other flavors now too: Caesar, Black Pepper and Wasabi Ranch Snapea Crisps and Tomato Basil and Onion Thyme Lentil Snaps.

The baked Snapea Crips and Lentil Snaps are great to snack on at the office, after a workout or to mix in with lunch. Snapea Crisps are made with 70% all-natural peas and Lentil Snaps come packed with 65% authentic lentils. When compared to regular potato chips, Harvest Snaps have less fat, low sodium and are gluten-free. With each handful, your body soaks up Vitamin B, calcium, iron, folate, potassium and dietary fiber. The high level of protein and fiber definitely satisfies my snack cravings without feeling sluggish. Each flavor is spot on, with a lightweight, crunch texture - they are too addictive to eat just a few. In fact, it's very easy to end up eating the entire bag in one sitting.

I love snacking on Harvest Snaps on their own, but look forward adding the Caesar Snapea Crisps to a caesar salad, Wasabi Ranch Snapea Crisps to sushi rolls, Tomato Basil Lentil Snaps as a side snack to tomato soup and grilled cheese and Onion Thyme Lentil Snaps to a burger. It's hard to pick a favorite flavor, but I think I'd have to go with Caesar.

The bags in my Harvest Snaps Snack Box are 3.0 oz each. I just wish the bags had a zip top closure. If you eat them as a snack on their own, they are best to eat out of a bowl or cup. I've found that I get more crumbs everywhere when eating them out of the bag. Learn more about Harvest Snaps here.

One lucky reader will win their own Harvest Snaps Snack Box! To enter, please leave a comment on this blog post stating what your favorite Harvest Snaps flavor is and which flavor you would like to try. Giveaway will end at 11:59pm on 11/15/14. Good luck!

Marcelle Cosmetics Birchbloggers Breakfast and Lux Gloss Giveaway

Last Friday I started my day with a visit to the new Birchbox SoHo store at 433 West Broadway for a Birchbloggers breakfast with Marcelle Cosmetics. Our morning included a makeup demo which allowed us to get more familiar with Marcelle's products. My favorite Marcelle product so far has been the BB Cream in Golden Glow. It's great to use in the summer since it combats shine and oily skin.

Some of Marcelle's products that I am excited to try next are the 2 in 1 Retractable Eyeliner, BB Concealer and Monochromatic Pressed Powder. There were some great makeup tips we picked up during the demo:

Tip #1: Start with applying your eye makeup first, so that when your cleaning up any running eyeshadow, eyeliner or mascara, you aren't removing any other makeup you would have applied - concealer, foundation, etc.

Tip 2: When applying the BB Concealer, massage the roll-on from the middle, and then outward in a figure-8 motion to stimulate circulation and decrease any puffiness.

Tip #3: To keep your eyeliner from running, be sure to set your makeup with a powder. Apply Marcelle's Monochromatic Pressed Powder under your eyes.

Tip 4: To transform a day look into night, add a liquid liner, darker lip and a little bronzer.

Next we visited the Marcelle x Birchbox Gloss Bar to make our own custom-made lip glosses! The gloss in made in minutes just after you choose your base color (or mix two or three together), finish and special effect. The Lux Gloss comes out semi-sheer with a high-shine finish. I went with red/magenta and ultra violet shades for the upcoming fall season. In addition to the glosses we also got to leave with deluxe samples of the BB Cleanser and BB Cream and a brand new Make-Up Palette.

Thank you Marcelle Cosmetics and Birchbox for hosting such a fabulous Birchbloggers breakfast! Since it was my first time visiting the SoHo store, I spent my entire morning exploring the store and even created a BYOB (Build Your Own Birchbox)!

Now it's time for a giveaway! I am giving away one of the Marcelle Lux Glosses I created in a Tangerine/Ultra Violet shade, Copper Finish and Drops of Jupiter effect. To enter, leave a comment below with your email address.

I'm obsessed with Nourish Organic Body Wash - Almond Vanilla ($9.99), and also love Nourish Organic's Coconut & Argan Body Wash ($9.99) and Lotion, which launched at Target this past fall.

My go-to products for cleaning supplies and candles include the Caldrea 3 Piece Hibiscus Yuzu Kitchen Set ($19.99) from the Caldrea Essential Collection exclusively at Target, and Mrs. Meyers Lavender Candle ($6.99) and Mrs. Meyers Clean Day Basil Laundry Detergent ($15.99).

For my Cobalt Blue fix, I'd go with the Keurig K10 Mini Plus Brewer ($99.99). I've been meaning to get a new flatware for quite some time, like this Gourmet Settings Strand 20-pc set. One of my favorite accessories is this Oversized Elephant Scarf ($19.99).
