Go City Cards Review and Giveaway




Smart Destinations is the premier provider of unlimited admission sightseeing passes in 14 major North American travel destinations from Oahu to New York City. Smart Destinations’ Go City Cards and Explorer Passes offer pre-paid access to over 425 museums, attractions, and tours for one low fixed price. The combination of savings and convenience has resulted in 94% customer satisfaction as measured by 3rd party research and helped the company rank 78 on the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing companies.

Go City Cards are multi-attraction passes offered in 14 cities in the US. Using a Go City Card, travelers and sightseers get unlimited access to the top city attractions.

How it works:
Go City Cards offers unlimited admission to multiple attractions (museums, tours, shows, etc.) all for one highly discounted, fixed price. So you buy one card and you visit as many attractions as you want – its like an “all you can eat” sightseeing pass. This saves sightseers up to 55% of the cost of buying individually.


My Opinion
I am so excited to include Smart Destinations' Go City Cards in my "Best Products of My Last Year" Blogoversary because it is so unique and fun...and saves money too! There is no better combination in a product than that!!

My husband and I LOVE to travel and explore! We live near Chicago but have never been there as a couple!    (You know...the whole "Have to find a babysitter, find the money, and find the time" excuses) But when I saw these Go Chicago cards I knew I had to get rid of the excuses and get out exploring Chicago with my hubby!

I just LOVE the idea and concept of these cards! You can go to any major city and explore all their grandest and most famous landmarks, museums, and sights-to-see at a discounted price - all with the swipe of the Go City Card! Plus, my cards included an extremely HELPFUL guide book to Chicago so that I can figure out our course of action, bus routes, and more info about each place!

I am so excited to go see the Museum of Science and Industry, the Navy Pier, and the Shedd Aquarium (we are actually there as you read this!) This card made it possible and it can for you too!

I HIGHLY recommend Smart Destinations Go City Cards for all travelers and people who love to explore cites! It will let you see all the big sights as discounted price and gives you VIP status (cut lines, get discounts off restaurants and shops!) Next time you go to a big city, make sure you get the Go City card and save a lot of money! I am hoping the next time I use the Go City Card it will be in Oahu or Maui, Hawaii! :)

Buy It: You can purchase all Go City Cards for 14 major cities in the U.S. on the Smart Destination website.

Arctic Zero Review and Giveaway



Everyone remembers the old children's' rhyme about how we all scream for ice cream. But in today's more health conscious environment, ice cream has become the guiltiest of pleasures. Ice cream may make you scream all right, but in an entirely different way than we used to.

Fortunately, Arctic Zero® has changed the equation. Now you can have an ice cream-like treat that has less than 150 Calories per pint! It's like a delicious-tasting frozen protein shake you can spoon.

Arctic Zero is a high quality frozen dessert that is all natural, gluten free, suitable for lactose intolerants, and low glycemic. Like "super foods", they like to call it the world's first "super dessert" since it feeds the muscle and starves the fat due to the high quality whey protein concentrate and low calorie/low carb formula. Basically, it is a great tasting protein shake in an ice cream form for all ages.

Things worth noting:
• Arctic Zero® is very low calorie--with only 150 calories per pint,--It was developed for you to enjoy guilt free
• Arctic Zero® is all natural, low carb, fat free, gluten free, lactose intolerant-friendly, a great source of fiber (8 grams of fiber per pint), and high in whey protein concentrate
• As hard as it may be to believe, even with the benefits listed above, it tastes great!




My Opinion
Okay, everyone, this is one of my favorite products of the year because it is a healthy ICE CREAM treat!!! (how often do you see that??!!!) It is one of a kind!!!

Let me just start off by saying that if you are looking for sugary, sweet ice cream to indulge in, Arctic Zero is not what you are looking for! Arctic Zero is a one-of-a-kind HEALTHY ice cream-like treat that is for people who LOVE ice cream but can't afford to eat the sugary, fattening kind!

Arctic Zero has so many amazing attributes, let's see where to begin...

First, Arctic Zero is a great source of fiber. Who would have thought that there would be an ice cream that is a great source of fiber!! They add 8 grams of fiber to each pint of Arctic Zero in the form of chicory root because studies have shown that consuming 8 or more grams of chicory root increases calcium absorption in the human body! (How thoughtful of them, huh?)

Second of all, Arctic Zero is sweetened with a proprietary blend of organic cane sugar and monk fruit concentrate, which are both natural sweeteners and they don't cause any weird flavors or side effects. (The monk fruit concentrate found in Arctic Zero comes from the sweetest melon in the world and has been used in Asia for over 1,000 years. Monk fruit concentrate is 150 times sweeter than sugar and one gram of it replaces 40 teaspoons of sugar!) Plus, you don't have to worry about any artificial sweeteners that you can find in other low calorie ice cream treats.

The third amazing feature is the high quality whey protein concentrate that they use. It's more quickly assimilated by your muscles and Arctic Zero contains the essential amino acids your body needs. It is like a frozen protein shake and actually helps your muscles instead of "helping" your fat! :)

Best of all, Arctic Zero is very low calorie--with only 150 calories per pint. It was developed for you to enjoy guilt free! And it does taste good too! Like, I said, it isn't the sweet, sugary ice cream most people are used to, but it tastes subtle and reminds me of frozen yogurt! To me, the many amazing qualities I talked about above are enough right there for me to eat Arctic Zero!

I recommend Arctic Zero for all people that need to cut back on calorie-laden treats, but can't seem to give up their cravings for ice cream. Arctic Zero is a perfect alternative and will actually HELP you and your body too! Plus, it is perfect for special needs eaters: it is gluten-free and suitable for lactose-intolerants!!

Buy It: You can purchase Arctic Zero for around $3.99 in many local stores or on Amazon.com

Win It: Arctic Zero is generously offering (1) 8-Pack of Arctic Zero (any variety of flavors with free overnight shipping) to a lucky winner!

Enter here for a chance to win:
(1) 8-Pack of Arctic Zero 
(valued at around $100!!!)

Ok, here are the rules:

Rainbow Roses Review and Giveaway


Let's get this Blogoversary Party STARTED....


I am so excited to introduce you to Fiesta Roses and their BEAUTIFUL Rainbow Roses to start off our Blogoversary Giveaway Extravanganza!

This is by far one of the best and most beautiful products I have ever received and I am SO EXCITED to share Fiesta Roses with you and show you their beautiful Rainbow Roses!

You will definitely make a lasting impression and make someone's day (like they made mine!!) by sending a loved one their brilliant 5 color 18" to 22" Rainbow Roses. These rainbow roses are the perfect gift to brighten someone's day or show a significant other how much you love them.

There is a very special process involved in making these roses and I know you are all dying (no pun intended!) to know how they color the roses in rainbow colors!

I know everyone who saw my roses were wondering, so here goes:


1. Fresh long stems roses are hand picked from their farms.


2. A trained horticulturist prepares the roses for "fiesta-ization".


3. The roses are placed in a unique substance, which is a combination of water and various dyes. The roses slowly absorb the dyed water the same way as they would naturally absorb water. Our unique process allows the horticulturist to pinpoint which petals receive each color of dye. This results in the various colors being diffused throughout upwards of 60 of the rose petals.


4. Fiesta Roses are carefully packed and shipped throughout the United States!


My Opinion
Okay, honestly this might be the easiest review I have ever had to do, because you can see for yourself how BEAUTIFUL these roses are!!

I must admit, I LOVE FLOWERS so these Rainbow Roses from Fiesta Roses were a very special treat to me and, therefore, one of my most favorite products of the year!

Here are my beautiful Rainbow Roses
brightening up my house!
These flowers were not only beautiful, but came with a purple vase (my favorite color!!!) and lasted for weeks! In fact, they are still sitting on my table bringing color and happiness to our house! They are so bright and unique and definitely the most beautiful roses I have ever seen!!

I HIGHLY recommend Rainbow Roses from Fiesta Roses for all flower lovers and for those looking for a very special gift for their loved one! These roses would be perfect to send to anyone for any occasion because they are so unique and beautiful! They will definitely not be easily forgotten!

Buy It: You can purchase One Dozen Rainbow Roses (with vase) for $79.99 on the Fiesta Roses website.

Win It: Fiesta Roses is generously offering TWO DOZEN Rainbow Roses to a lucky winner!

Enter here for a chance to win:
