SafeCatch Tuna First 100% Mercury Tested Canned Tuna #Review

There is one food that is highly recommended for children and women pregnant or looking to become pregnant and it’s fish. Children and women who are pregnant are encouraged to eat 8-12 ounces of fish a week to help with infant and child growth.

 But high levels of mercury in the fish we eat can have damaging health defects on growth and brain development. Safe Catch, a new brand of tuna fish is setting new standards for the tuna industry. 

Safe Catch tests ever fish for mercury levels before purchase, their mercury level is 90% lower than the FDA’s, there is 5 times the Omega 3s compared to leading brands and it has a fresher taste.

I love that it is pack in only juice from the Tuna-No fillers, no GMOs, no gluten, no additives-NO OIL, NO WATER!! Just a full can of TUNA!!

Now I can feel great about making Tuna Wrap for my daughter snack. I made myself a Tuna Bean and Kale Soup.

How ever you like your Tuna - You'll enjoy it a little more knowing that your eating a pure piece of seafood. From a company that does it's best to protect the purity in the oceans. For more information on purchasing visit: HERE

WHAT  IS YOUR FAVORITE FAIRY TALE -- DO YOU LIKE READING STORIES WITH A TWIST?

New Product #Review:Alpina All-Stars Yogurt

Last month Alpina Yogurt launched their new Alpina NBA All-Stars Yogurt. One of the few male/tween focused products in the dairy aisle and the only NBA
 All-Star yogurt on the market. My little man loves yogurt as an after-school snack, he was beyond HAPPY to give these a taste test. Received two 
thumbs up!! 

WHY YOGURT TOPS THE FOOD CHAIN.

There are numerous benefits of Alpina NBA All-Stars yogurt, which include:
·      B vitamins for sustained energy throughout the day
·      170mg of potassium - a key electrolyte
·      10% of your daily-recommended calcium intake to promote growth and build strong bones

Although the target focus is for the males I've got  a few ladies who love mixing themselves up a bowl too. Each yogurt comes with an extra treat, Cookies ‘n Cream, chocolate mini gems, and OUR FAVORITE Dunkers (white chocolate covered rice balls.) Just dunk’em in, mix’em up and enjoy, or eat them separately. Every box comes with a cool NBA sticker to collect.

With this piece from Onyx XOXO  your cuff will spark great conversation. First of the box it arrives in is awesome so if it's a gift -no wrapping needed. I also love there is no piercing needed. The metal work and the leather in the cuff give it an edgy feel but still keep it feminine.
