Ferrero Rocher







Here is my beautiful golden box of goodies I received from Influenster. This product was complimentary for testing and review purposes.

I was a little reluctant to open it as it came in such a beautiful box! But I had to open it because my children kept bugging me to do it. I think they wanted a piece! At last, I opened it and handed out 3 pieces to my little munchkins and I took a piece also. We took our first bites and were hooked! This stuff was amazing! I'm not a big fan of Hazelnut, but I really didn't taste it as the chocolate and wafer was just so good!

Here is a little bit of history about Ferrero Rocher. Ferrero Rocher is a unique and delicious chocolate experience made by Italian chocolatier Ferrero, since 1982. The chocolates are a tempting combination of smooth chocolaty cream surrounding a whole hazelnut; within a delicate, crisp wafer. . . all enveloped in milk chocolate and finely chopped hazelnuts. The chocolates are individually wrapped in gold foil. 

I was a good girl and stopped eating after having 4 of these! I was a bad girl and left it out where my kids and husband could get to it and when I awoke the next day, all the candies were gone! I will not make that mistake again!

Thank you Influenster for letting me try something that I would have never bought on my own!

Torani Syrups-Not just for flavoring drinks


This is a sponsored post for SheSpeaks and Torani. I received 2-750ml bottles of Torani Syrups in Peppermint and Salted Caramel, Torani brochure featuring flavors and recipes, and 5-$1.00 off coupons.

Contrary to what the title says, I actually used these to flavor drinks and one other thing so far! I am not a big fan of flavored syrups unless they are chocolate, which Torani has, but I haven't gotten yet! I was a little reluctant to try these as I'm old fashioned and set in my ways! As you can see, in the picture the Salted Caramel is already open. It. Was. Delicious! My husband tried some in his coffee and just couldn't stop saying how good it was. He even made me try a sip. I hate coffee, so this was a little hard for me to do, but it actually tasted good!

My husband was a little reluctant to try these, but after putting a little bit of the Salted Caramel on my finger and just gushing about how good it tasted, he went for it. I used the Peppermint in some Hot Cocoa and that was pretty good. I couldn't convince my children to try these, but who cares. Let them miss out on all the deliciousness!

I thought I would try out a recipe I had found for Caramel Popcorn and use the Salted Caramel. Lets just say that I will be making that again! I love Caramel Popcorn and have been wanting to make my own and now I can whenever I want, or until I run out of my syrup and have to buy more!

If you like to bake or drink a lot of warm or even cold drinks, then these syrups are for you. They come in so many different flavors also, so you can have your pick! I hope you experiment like I did and come up with some cool recipes!

Influenster.com






Influenster is a cool site to be on for a few hours. I think I was on there a total of 4 hours this past Saturday and Sunday trying to get my badges and writing and sharing reviews. It gets addicting after a while!

     They updated their site since I've been a memeber and I am loving the new layout. Anyone can sign up to be an Influenster and I think everyone should. You have a chance to get what are called Voxboxes. They are packed full of goodies. I've received a few Voxboxes from them and have loved each one. 

     If you love sharing your thoughts, views or even opinions, then this is the place to be. I've learned a lot just from reading reviews. I am always having problems with choosing what products to get for myself or others.

Come join me in the fun!

Dino Lingo-Language Programs for Kids



Dino Lingo is a language learning program for kids and even adults. I viewed their video on Youtube courtesy of Influenster about French and me and my children were engrossed in it. The graphics were cute and held my children's attentions. The words were spoken and written on the screen. I think this helps to learn the language better in my opinion.

I chose French because this is the language I took in High School and I still love speaking it. Too bad no one understands me! LOL I want to show my children that learning a new language is easy and can be fun in the process. I had a wonderful French teacher that I will never forget  who made the class fun. I couldn't wait to get to her class everyday!

This is the video that I watched: http://dinolingo.com/languages/french.html#.ULuTkXkiJH0. They have so many other languages to choose from. It makes me want to learn several new languages!

Thank you Influenster for showing me this! I've been wanting to get my children in a language program and this is it!

P.S. If you would like to see and maybe get some products for yourself, you can sign up to be an Influenster too!
