You may hateful that I liked a bunch of these because they were Sponsors for Blogfest.  I am here to social club you lot that having those Sponsors made it possible for individual like me to afford to become as well as attend this amazing consequence.  I tin can’t give thanks them plenty.  I’ve too been using many of these products earlier I knew they were a sponsor….Hello milk, almonds inwards improver to General Mills – who hasn’t.  I listened to the information they shared with me because I dear to verbalise from experience together alongside the biologist in me likes the data. All of this does not sway my view.


I will live completely truthful together with honest inwards my opinions also every bit reviews of all the products I try.  It is upwardly to y'all to cheque them out as well try them for yourself.  That’second what this weblog is. My review. My thought.  I am non an ambassador or influencer for whatsoever of the above products.  This is me being complimentary inwards improver to open up amongst yous!


There are products at the expo that I couldn’t endeavour.  If something contained Stevia equally many products brand these days, I alone tin can’t effort it.  It gives me a migraine, so give thanks y'all for existence inwards that place merely I tin can’t endeavor your product together alongside then my readers don’t get a review of your product.  I’thousand not going to society I dear a production that I haven’t tried.


This foodie loved Blogfest besides IDEA World because it afforded me the choice to endeavor new products that I hadn’t earlier.  Some of these will live come up upwardly staples in my dwelling house.
