A big disappointment as the cookies appeared and tasted burned.
My favorite cookie of all time is chocolate chip oatmeal so I was beyond excited to get to try these. They ended up being a huge let down and probably one of the worse oatmeal chocolate chip cookies I've ever had. I hope it I just got and unusually bad package. All of the cookies were dark brown like they had been overcooked and the chocolate chips were black and looked and tasted burnt. I really wanted to like these but ended up throwing most of them away as I couldn't get anyone in my family to eat them, even my teenage son who eats most anything.
i #gotitfree to give an honest review. I'm sorry I have to be brutally honest with these but I would never buy these.

The coconut cookies were a pleasant tasty surprise. I like the taste of coconut so I had a feeling I would like these before I even tried them. What surprised me was that the cookie had a crisp edge but a slightly chewy center. I really liked that contrast. My family liked these too. I will probably purchase these in the future if they are available where I shop.

Great strawberry banana taste that do not overpower each other but complement each other.
I've never had a wafer in this flavor before. My teenage son and husband as well as myself all really liked this flavor. I received four different flavors of Voortman cookies to review and this was the favorite of all of them. The wafer is light and I like that I can eat one without feeling too guilty . One is a nice treat without going overboard on the calories. My family wants to me to purchase these again. The only drawback is that the outside wafer gets crumbly and breaks off easily.

A lightweight wafer with a nice vanilla flavor.
I loved vanilla wafers when I was a little girl but I rarely eat them anymore as I don't usually love the shortening like middle. These Voortman vanilla wafers have a lighter middle than many other brands which I liked better. The wafers have a light feel and a good taste. The one thing my family complained about is that the outside wafer was really crumbly and made a mess while they ate them. Otherwise, these ended up being a hit.

I reviewed several Neova products at the same time on my blog. I am including only the review for the Night Therapy. The Neova Night Therapy was my favorite of all the products. It contains DNA Repair Endosomes which maximize cell repair functioning at night. It is a creamy moisturizer that soothed my dry skin. Since I started using it, I would wake up in the morning without my face itching. I like that it doesn't have a heavy or perfumed scent. It was gentle on my sensitive skin. Even though it is pricey, I think it is well worth it.
One of the things that I am really impressed with the Neova line of skin care is that the company backs their product with clinical studies and makes those study references available to the general public. There was nothing about the product I disliked, but I do understand that the Neova skin care line might seem expensive. I think it is well worth it. This is the first time I have used these products and I will continue to use them.

I ordered the Royal Garden Tee by Cactus Fashions along with two other shirts. When the shirt arrived, I was impressed with the packaging. The shirt was individually wrapped in plastic and included a plastic hanger. I examined the shirt carefully and noticed stitching was perfect and was really well made. The shirt is 100% cotton, but it is a stretchy knit. The fabric was very thick. Not at all flimsy like a similar shirt made in China I acquired a few weeks ago. I always hear people say they can't afford products made in the U.S.A. I paid $29.99 for this shirt. I think the price was very reasonable. It was only a few dollars more than I paid for a similar shirt made outside of the U.S. but the quality is far superior and worth the few extra bucks.
The shirt fit perfectly and is very comfortable. My favorite part about the shirt is that it is long enough at the waist to cover my back when I bend over. I love that I can wear it with jeans. However, it has such a beautiful design, I wouldn't hesitate to wear it with black slacks for a dressier look. I am glad I found All USA Clothing. I'm even happier that there are still apparel items made in the USA.

This time of year, conditioner is more important to me than shampoo. When my hair gets dry, it is extra hard to comb through and as I get older, my head gets more sensitive. I want a conditioner that will make my hair soft and easy to comb, even when wet.
Joico's Daily Care Conditioner was developed as a daily conditioner to help prevent moisture loss and keep hair resilient and strong. It is fortified with starflower oil. I first noticed the smell. It almost has a light, citrus scent which I really liked. When I poured it in my hand, it didn't feel as thick and creamy as I usually look for in a conditioner. However, it did help soften my hair. I usually like a conditioner a that makes my hair a little softer. The Daily Care Conditioner is great for daily use, but I would still use a deep conditioner a few times a month. I like the product. It works great if you have normal hair. I did notice a reduction of my static during the use of the conditioner. My hair wasn't as easy to comb wet as I would have liked, but once dry, it felt healthy and soft.

My hair gets really dry this time of year. I sit right underneath the heater at work at it constantly blows onto my head, causing static in my hair. I want a product that will keep my hair hydrated and free from static.
Joico's Daily Care Conditioning Shampoo was developed to to replenish moisture and elasticity to hair. It is supposed to work for chemically treated hair as well. This made me a perfect candidate for trying the product. I color my hair to cover the few wisps of gray.This can cause extra dryness. Combined with my heater problem at work, I need a product that will keep my hair from showing the effects of the harsh conditions present this time of year.
The Daily Care Conditioning Shampoo worked for me. I've been using it for the last five days and noticed the static in my hair has been reduced significantly. My hair feels healthy. I haven't noticed an increase in the shine but I have noticed a decrease in the dryness. I often choose hair care products based on smell as I don't like strong, perfume smells. Joico's Conditioning Shampoo has a nice, mild smell so it is perfect for me. It doesn't leave a strong scent. I would recommend the shampoo for those with normal to mild chemically treated hair. It leaves the hair healthy.

Elite Therapeutics Elite Cream
I love trying new skin care products, especially this time of year when my skin dries out from indoor heating and outdoor cold. My face gets red and itchy this time of year so I'm especially anxious to find products that will heal my skin.
Dr. Kevin L. Schewe, MD, had healing in mind when he developed the Elite Therapeutics products. As a radiation oncologist, Dr. Schewe witnessed first hand the devastating effects of radiation and chemotherapy to the skin. He has spent years researching and testing various skin care products and found that Vitamin-E technology protects and repairs damaged skin.
Though I do not suffer the effects of cancer treatments, I do suffer from uneven skin tone and skin irritation. When I read about the Elite Therapeutics skin care line, I was excited to see if the products could do for my skin what they claim to do for the skin of cancer survivors.
I received a tube of Elite Cream Daily Clinical Skin Therapy. I immediately saw on the tube that it was fragrance free. I was relieved since I sometimes have reactions to skin care products with heavy perfume scents. When I opened the tube, I noticed it had a subtle citrus scent that was very pleasant. I looked at the ingredients and found the scent was from the natural pink grapefruit added to product. I fell in love with the sweet citrus aroma right away.
As much as I liked the scent, how the product performed was more important. I want something that will soothe my dry skin and take away the redness. The Elite Cream did not disappoint. The product was very creamy and when I applied it to my face felt soothing. I used it once in the morning and once in the evening as directed and found after four days, the itchiness on my face was starting to disappear. The redness between my nose and cheek was notably improved. My face didn't feel nearly as dry in the morning upon awakening after day four as it did on day one. I was thrilled that I didn't have any skin reactions to the Elite Cream and that it helped soften my skin.
The Elite Cream is rich with natural vitamin E and contains other natural ingredients. I was happy to see that the product is also paraben-free. It is not tested on animals and is cruelty-free as well.
The Elite Cream by Elite Therapeutics is for normal to dry skin and damaged skin. It is not for oily skin and I wouldn't recommend it for oily skin. However, I highly recommend Elite Creme Daily Clinical Skin Therapy for normal to dry skin. To purchase this product follow the link. (http://www.elitetherapeutics.com/products/elite-creme.html
