#ZzzQuil #SleepLovers

I received a free sample of #ZzzQuil from Influenster to test and review. I took it last night. I've suffered from insomnia for a long time. I've tried countless over-the-counter and prescription sleep aids. I really like ZzzQuil! It helped me fall asleep fast and I slept soundly throughout the night. And unlike Benadryl, it didn't make me groggy and irritable when I woke up. I felt refreshed and like I actually got decent sleep. I should add that ZzzQuil is only for sleep, it's not for pain. And make sure you give yourself 7-8 hours to sleep when you take it. Thanks, Influenster! #SleepLovers #ad #gotitfree

Sunbelt Bakery Bars!


 I am in Influenster's Bloom VoxBox campaign. One of the items included in the box is a Sunbelt Bakery fudge dipped chocolate chip granola bar. Now, I don't usually like chocolate granola bars but this one is delicious! It has the perfect combination of chocolate and granola and it is the perfect size. I enjoyed it outside in the sunshine with a cup of coffee this morning. I definitely recommend it and I will be looking for more Sunbelt Bakery bars in the grocery store!

*I received this product complimentary from Influenster for testing and reviewing purposes, but my opinions are my own!

L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil!

The newest Influenster campaign that I am participating in is L'Oreal Paris Advanced Haircare Extraordinary Oil! This campaign couldn't have come at a better time! I experienced significant postpartum hair loss with both of my children. Prenatal vitamins and Biotin are helping my hair grow back, but my hair was still lifeless and BLAH. Extraordinary Oil breathed life back into my hair! It also smells amazing! Today I was able to straighten my hair for the first time in months. I love how my hair looks (although I am hoping it'll continue to grow back) and I highly recommend these products.

My "Famous" Crock Pot Cocktail Weenies

 About four years ago I found a recipe for crock pot cocktail weenies on Pinterest and decided to try it out. It turned out GREAT! Not only that, my husband loved them! I've made them several times since then, whether it's for a Super Bowl party or just for dinner. They seem to go fast each time! I've started making a double batch! The pin was from momsrecipes.com. I am grateful that I typed out the recipe because the link to the recipe on that website is no longer working. I would have been very upset if I had lost that it!

 Super Bowl 50 is this Sunday and while my Seahawks did not make it this year, we will still have a party and watch the game. And I will make my "famous" cocktail weenies. In case anyone is curious, we have decided we want the Denver Broncos to win. Why? Because Peyton Manning is a awesome quarterback (not as awesome as Russell Wilson of course) and a good guy and Robbie's grandma is a huge Broncos fan. And the Panthers knocked us out of the playoffs. ;) So Go Broncos!

While I do have the recipe saved on my hard drive, I thought I would type it out here as well and then pin this.

Crock Pot Cocktail Weenies

Ingredients

* 2 packages cocktail weenies (1 lb each)
* 3 cans tomato sauce (8 ounces each)
* 1/2 cup brown sugar
* 4 tablespoons vinegar
* 1/2 teaspoon all spice
* 1/3 cup grape jelly

Directions

Mix all ingredients except cocktail weenies in crock pot. Add weenies. Cook on highj for 4-6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.

Serves 12-15.

My Super Simple Two Cheese Ore-Ida Totchos Recipe!

I am currently participating in the Jingle VoxBox campaign with Influenster. Included in the VoxBox was a coupon for a free bag of Ore-Ida tator tots to test and review! I decided to get a bag of the mini tator tots.

For lunch today I decided to make a plate of two cheese totchos. They turned out great! You can use any kind of cheese you want, and more than two if wanted. Here is the recipe:

Ingredients
1 bag Ore-Ida Mini Tator Tots
Shredded sharp cheese
Shredded mozzarella cheese

Method
Step One - cook the tator tots. Be sure to follow the directions on the package.
Step Two - Put the tots on a plate and spread the shredded cheese over it. Use as much or as little as you like!
Step Three - Put the plate in the microwave for 60-90 seconds, or until the cheese is melted.
Step Four - Enjoy!

I had ketchup on the side, but I put ketchup on almost anything so it certainly isn't necessary!

Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

 I am currently participating in the Jingle VoxBox campaign with Influenster. One of the products I received for testing and reviewing is Cetaphil moisturizing cream. My two year old son has eczema and I have been searching for a good moisturizing cream for a while now. We are currently living in Fort Worth and it's drier here than we're used to, so it's even harder on Jack's skin. I decided to try Cetaphil on his skin. It is amazing! His skin is softer and it is keeping his eczema to a minimum. I am very happy with Cetaphil moisturizing cream! I will be purchasing it for Jack's skin when I run out of the sample we received.
