How to Reach Me - And Upcoming Reviews

WELCOME BACK FOLKS!


So here's what's new...

My last review was of some instant mashed potatoes by Idahoan and that actually got some good views.  Idahoan even found it (I was excited that they did) and posted a link from their Twitter and their Facebook accounts to the review and had nice things to say about me.  I appreciated that.

So here is what is coming up and some good information.

HOW TO REACH ME (to review your product)


Everyone knows that the best way to get your name out there is to get your items reviewed and maybe even give away something to your target audience.  How can you do that?  Simple... get in touch with me and I will review anything you want.  The quickest way to get a hold of me is either email or on twitter.

SEND ME EMAIL or TWEET AT ME

I'm an average, normal person who will give praise where it belongs and will gently discuss the downside (if there are any) that I see.  In no way will any of my reviews or demonstrations cover everything if it is a complex device, but I will do my best to show off the most common uses, the best things about it, and anything else that may be helpful to potential consumers.

Now, things I am in the market for and once I get them, I'll most likely review them. (hint-hint if you want something reviewed)

Tablet (iPad, Android, WebOS, Blackberry, etc)
Cell phone (mine is on its last leg and I need a new smartphone)
Accessories for Square (the credit card processor)
Informational DVDs, Websites, Books, etc.
eReader (if I don't get a tablet first)

And as always, household products like cleaners, cookwear, oral care, razors, etc will always be in need.  I also like reviewing easy too cook food products.

A good deal by way of coupon or a sample or even a free unit will be the quickest way to have me go on about how great you are for sending me something to test or try and review. (Just saying)

So what are you reviewing next?

That's a good question.  I have a couple things planned and next week will probably be a website review.  I've found a great informational site that I think everyone can use and I'll give my opinions on it and hopefully help someone.

If I get something that is meant to improve my life or efficiency, then I'll do it two.  We'll see what happens.  Either way, tell a friend to follow my twitter or my blog, click on an ad, or drop me an idea for something to review.  I'd be more than happy to do it and let's keep this thing going.

Thanks :)

Idahoan Mashed Potato Cups

Idahoan Buttery Homestyle Mashed Potatoes (single serving cup)

If you've ever tried potatoes in a box, you know it's a tricky thing to find one that's good.  If you've ever tried Idahoan brand, you'll know it can be a little tricky to cook them right, but once you do, you won't hesitate to buy them again.

While I was browsing through the grocery store the other day, I was wandering down the aisle that has all the mac n cheese, potatoes, pasta, etc and I saw in a basket off the shelf these little cups.  They were a dollar a piece, but the special on them this week was Buy One, Get One.  I grabbed two and threw them in the cart and was on my way.

The next day, I was sitting at home and was starting to get hungry for something other than junk food.  I remembered that I had dropped a buck on those potato cups and thought I'd go make some.  I read the instruction, prepared it, ate it, and rather enjoyed it.  Nice and buttery, easy to make, not all that bad for you.

I decided to review this for two reasons.  I know a lot of people can appreciate a quick snack of mashed potatoes and I really enjoyed this one.  Details after the video.

Pros: Quick, easy, cheap, tasty, perfect portions
Cons: A lot of sodium (about a 3rd of DV), potential allergies (Milk, Soy), flatware cleanup is a little tough

This comes highly recommended for a few target groups.  College students who don't always want top ramen and hot pocket, after school snack for high school kids trying to bulk up the old fashioned way, and this is also an amazing side to your work lunch when you bring leftovers that almost require some kind of hearty side.

In conclusion, 4 out of 5 Stars on this one.  I am not a label reader, so the sodium deal is not an issue to me.  Prepackaged foods always are high in sodium and I only put salt on eggs, so I think I'm good with that.  Great snack (I'm eating one now) and is a bit filling when you want something to be.  I might not pay a dollar a piece, but I'd buy the 4 or 6 pack at a cost of like $.75 a piece.


If you want any info on the app I used to convert the microwave times, please click on the link to download it from the Apple Store.  I really like this app, and I have given it 5 Stars in the app store.  If nothing else, please download it (it's free) and rate it 5-Stars for the developer.  MICROWAVE_CONVERTER_APP

First Post...

Alright, well here we are...

Basically it's as simple as this.  If I try something out for myself or see something interesting, I'm going to try to make a video and give my honest opinion of it.  Maybe I'll even get a good following and can give away prizes...

Only one way to find out.

So sit back, click some sponsored ads, and tell a friend or two.

Thanks.
