Breyers Smooth and Dreamy-Review and Giveaway

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

You know it’s been a rough summer when I’m asked if I would like to review any product made by Breyers, particularly their new Smooth and Dreamy Ice Cream Bars. It’s been hot here and humid, really humid. Like, 100% humidity if you ask me. I like water to cool me off about as much as the next guy, or gal, but can only take so much. Speaking of only being able to take so much, how many artificially flavored fruit popsicles can you really eat before you’re sick of them? What about a cool treat for me when the kids are napping? Or out riding their bikes with the neighbor kids?

The new Breyers Smooth & Dreamy ice cream bars and sandwiches prove an excellent treat for me at the end of a long day. With six rich and creamy flavors, including Chocolate Caramel Brownie, Vanilla Caramel Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Vanilla Fudge Brownie, and Triple Chocolate Chip, Breyers Smooth & Dreamy bars and sandwiches offer something for everyone. And with no artificial flavors or colors, 160 calories or less and 4-6g of fat per serving, and delicious mix-ins and swirls, these bars and sandwiches make for refreshing snacks and desserts.

We’ve tried several of these flavors now and have been completely satisfied with each. The title fits these exceptionally as they are truly Smooth and Dreamy. My ultimate favorite so far is the Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Bar. Rob won’t touch these ones, he’s not a big milk/dark chocolate kinda guy, so as long as I can keep them out of the sights of my children I get the whole box to myself. The Vanilla Caramel Chip has become an all around family favorite, there’s no getting this box past anyone and it will generally only last 24-36 hours in our house.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Breyers and received products necessary to facilitate my review. In addition, I received a gift certificate to thank me for taking the time to participate.

Under Construction

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

under_constructionAs you can see things are a little crazy around here. I’m currently under construction and hope to have it all ironed out by tonight. I’m trying to do this all on my own, which has been a difficult task, but one that I feel like I need to accomplish.

What to expect when I’m back full running:

  • A new 365 days of photos blog.
  • Beauty Sense article on Mondays. We’ll talk about hair care, skin care, fashion and more (contact me if you would like to submit a question on anything).
  • More recipes.
  • One review in particular that I’m pretty darn excited about, and a giveaway to kick off the new look.
  • and much much more, just bear with me!
