QDrinks - Shouldn't The Mixer Be As Great as the Spirit? + GIVEAWAY of 7 Mixers!

I recently got the chance to give QDrinks a try! I had never heard of this company before this chance, but it's awesome!

I just turned 23 in September and I'll be the first to admit I'm getting out of my "shots, shots, shots" phase. Lately I'm just wanting a nice buzz that tastes great. I'm getting up there in age ;) and I haven't been able to binge drink like I used to in my teenage years.

The answer to that is, yes. The mixer should be as good as the spirit.
And it is.

I'll start first with the Spectacular Tonic Water! This particular tonic water includes quinine from the Peruvian Andes and is made with agave for a lesser high fructose corn syrupy taste. You can make a lovely gin and tonic with this or you can try a Bittersweet Afternoon and throw an orange in if you're feeling up for a citrusy drink! If you like dry gin and tonics you can use the Indian Tonic Water instead!

The club soda has some Himalayan salt that naturally brings out the flavor of whatever you choose to mix in with it. A favorite is a scotch and club soda with some lemon on the side!

The grapefruit flavor was the best in my opinion! Saluki's with a lime wedge on the side with a little squeezed into the cup will do the trick. If you love grapefruit, you'll love the tartness of the Saluki!

The Kola was the last mixer I tried!

I have yet to try the ginger ale and the ginger beer, so we'll have to skip over these for now. I may include them in a later post once I get the chance to try them. :)

Enter below to win all 7 mixers to try for yourself!

Pure Protein Has a New Flavor! - Birthday Cake

Hey y'all! Today's review is on Pure Protein's new flavor of protein bar! Birthday cake. Am I seeing anyone else have heart eyes as much as I do? I love birthday cake flavored anything. Regular birthday cake, snack bars, snack cakes...just anything related to the flavor and I'm there for it. I'm so glad I got to try it so I could see if it's for me or not!

The presentation of the protein bar is very nice. A lot of people think eating healthy means unappetizing foods. As you can see from the photo above, Pure Protein doesn't put up with any of that. I feel like the sprinkles make me want to eat it even more. I swear I'm an adult. ;)

My first reaction to eating it was that it's harder than I expected it would be! I have good teeth, but a lot of older people may not be able to bite into this properly unless it's taken off in very small chunks.
I'm a texture person as well, and this protein bar does have a nice taste...if you can get over the chalkiness of it. The sprinkles add a crunch to the bar that a lot of people may like!
 I also really like the fact that it seems like it would be super unhealthy for you, which means if you're on a diet you can reach for this and feel like you're being bad but you're really not! Great for pre or post workouts!

Also...have I mentioned it's gluten free? No? I have now!

This particular bar has:
- 20 grams of protein (46 grams per day recommended for women, 56 recommended for men)
-3 grams of sugar
-200 calories

Carol's Daughter's Almond Milk Shampoo

Hey, everyone! I've decided that I may start reviewing products I buy/get as samples again! First up is Carol's Daughter's Almond Milk Shampoo.

Review: 

The main purpose of this shampoo is to bring softness back to damaged hair while at the same time strengthening and protecting it from further damage.
My hair isn't damaged, so I can't speak for how well it restores it, but I do know I felt a dramatic increase of softness. My hair is very flat, but somehow it also brought a little bounciness to it.

The smell isn't very great in the shower, but it smells awesome after you get your hair dry! There are a ton of other notes in it that may be because of the ingredients like aloe butter, shea butter, and coconut oil.

It feels weightless so it's definitely not a shampoo that weighed my hair down which is always a plus with me.
Super easy to use! No repeating necessary, but you can if you feel like it. It's that good for your hair!

The story:

Another reason why I like this shampoo is the story behind it!

In 1933, Lisa had a dream to create high-quality products in her Brooklyn home. Her mother, Carol, encouraged her to follow her dream. She said that when she was coming up with the name, she wrote down everything that she thought she was and the most important thing to her was being Carol's daughter.
That's seriously the sweetest sentiment to me and I adore it. My heart melted a little reading the history on the products.
She sold her products at flea markets and festivals, and her family tried them and fell in love as well. In 1999, the first Carol's Daughter boutique was opened.

She also has a book out! It's called "Success Never Smelled So Sweet" and you can read the synopsis by clicking on the title! Give it a buy if it interests you.

In 2017 there was an exhibit put up for Carol's Daughter being a pioneer of the Natural Hair Care Renaissance and is featured in the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture!
