ChapStick® Hydration Lock Day & Night review

Just Disclosing first that I received this product for free in exchange of my honest review by Smiley360

 I waited a few days before writing this review because it was important for me to try it as much as possible before...

So my experience... I like the dual option, day and night... the day side has spf which it is very important for me... I have to say in general this product is ok, I didn't feel it was that my lips got really moist from it, after a few applications they were still more or less dry... so that's why I don't think it is the greatest but I do think it is the coolest Idea that it is design for day and for night... :)

Build-A-Bear Workshop Experience

First let me start by disclosing that I received the product for free as a Smiley360 member in exchange of my honest review...

  So, we decided to go to Build-A-Bear  workshop with our son on his birthday... the store is neat, the employees so attentive and so many choices of stuff animals to choose from that it was overwhelming, you want to have them all!!!

My son loves monkeys so he went straight to it (Made easier the selection for us lol). I love that you get to see all the process of stuffing the bear and choose his little heart!, it is so nice to see him coming to "life" in front of your eyes (specially for the kids)... The second thing was deciding on outfits, There are so many to choose from!!! we went for the superhero but also purchase a karate outfit too... then proceeded to look for a name for our new little friend... of course my son decided for Banana and you get his "birth certificate''... After it was something we felt in love with, the little box it was put on! it is so cute that we decided to keep it...

It is an experience I honestly recommend to do with your little ones, they are adorable, great quality and enjoyable experience, that big smile on my son's face while playing with Banana doesn't have a price tag....

So I was Excited about starting this campaign as a BzzAgent*... I never had try FiberOne but was really curious about the taste, texture and overall brand...

I started with the one that I though it was going to be my least favorite FiberOne Protein Maple Brown Sugar... wow it is delicious. I ate it first by itself just to try it and then mixed it with my favorite yogurt, sorry i cant drink milk, and it is just amazing flavor...

After I tried FiberOne Cranberry Almond, wish i though it was going to be my favorite and actually it isnt... the flavor is ok, nothing special. I was disappointed that  the cranberries and almonds are so tiny and almost none existent...

I love the Maple brown sugar, totally recommended to buy but I wouldn't buy the cranberry almond...

About the nutrition aspect: it said it is 10 grams of protein with milk per serving and 20% daily value of fiber... it has also 8% of folic acid wish is important for women specially and i appreciate that it has it on it.
