Recipe, Food, Mexican, Sauces, Salsas, Gluten-Free, All-Natural, #ShopMexican dishes have become one of my favorite meals. Attempting to make some of these dishes at home has become a new routine, including finding some great sauces!

I was recently introduced to a unique brand of salsa and sauces – 505 Southwestern. These sauces are new to the market and sold at local H-E-B grocery stores (keep a look out)! They range in flavor from mild, medium to hot to meet with every need. More importantly is what’s unique about the products:

EXTRA FRESH – Our chiles are picked, flame-roasted & fresh frozen during harvest.
ALL NATURAL – We use only natural ingredients to preserve the just-picked flavor.
GLUTEN FREE – We use a rice flour as a binder where necessary, not wheat.
ZERO TRANS FAT – Only natural vegetables, spices, herbs and fruits are used.
NEW MEXICO – All our chiles come from the Hatch Valley in New Mexico, the “CHILE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!”

With five different options to choose from, you’re bound to find one that you’ll love and they come in great 16 ounce jars.

#Shop #KoolOff #CBiasSummer comes the heat and in the South it’s extremely evident. Can we just say hot and parched?! I’ve learned it’s always a great idea to keep an extra beverage or drink options on hand when on the go! Convenience is key! Not all things change – Kool-Aid still has the kick like no other!

As a child, I couldn’t wait for summer to come around. Endless days playing outside, coming inside only when we needed a drink or when we were hungry. As an adult, summer hasn’t changed completely. I know, I still can’t wait to get out of work and go outside for run, bike ride or even venture out for a drive – destination unknown.

On a recent shopping trip, some of those summer memories came back when I spotted this display in the beverage aisle of Walmart. Grape. Cherry. Fruit Punch. We use to make popsicles with my mom, those won’t do the trick in a cooler in the car but now there’s even more options!

#Shop #KoolOff #CBias#Shop #KoolOff #CBiasHeaded to a group picnic or activity? The new 96 oz bottle is perfect for multiples or even just to keep in the fridge for the family. [Make a punch by adding in a beverage with a little extra carbonation.]

Remember the individual packets? It was so fun to pick them out as kids. Well, they’re still available!
#Shop #KoolOff #CBiasFinally, (this is my favorite) Kool-Aid liquid! Talk about convenience and a packable size. This is my perfect go to if I’m on the road and can easily add it to a bottle of water for a little flavor.

#Shop #KoolOff #CBiasRecently, a couple of friends came to visit from out of town. We went horseback riding and it was so quick and easy to stick this in the cooler along with some bottles of water. After being in the hot sun for over an hour, it was the perfect addition to my water for a little extra flavor!#Shop #KoolOff #CBiasIt’s even great to bring to work!

#Shop #KoolOff #CBiasBe sure to swing by your local Walmart to grab any of these Kool-Aid products! They’re super convenient and affordable. Jeff Dillard, pro fisherman, could be coming to your Walmart soon! There will be product giveaways, tshirts, games and other fun activities!

Relieving Pain On-the-Go Active Kit

“I am a member of the Collective Bias® Social Fabric® Community. This content has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its client. All health related suggestions and opinions expressed in this post are all my own” #WellatWalgreens #CollectiveBias

#CollectiveBias #shopA couple weeks ago, I hurt my foot after a run. With spring in the air, it was a pretty huge hindrance as staying active helps me feel fit and is a huge stress reliever. Heading anywhere with a sore foot was the last thing I wanted to do. Then I came up with this great idea of putting together an Active On the Go kit that will assist in relieving pain, no matter where I am. Let’s talk being preventative!

I headed down to my local Walgreens, because I knew they would have everything that I needed and maybe some items that I haven’t thought of yet. My goal was to have products that would relieve pain, no matter where I was, running, biking, yoga or even a local hike.

#CollectiveBias #shopThe following products were part of my gold mine: Walgreens Pain Reliever Extra Strength Quick Gels 100ct, Walgreens Advanced Antibacterial Strong Strips, Band-Aid Advanced Healing for Blisters, Fingers & Toes, Icy Hot Patch, Wet Ones Antibacterial Wipes. All of these products were purchased for under $20, found around the pain reliever area and I saved even more by being a Walgreens Balance Reward member.

Since it’s just me, I personalized this according to my activities and needs however if you have children you could definitely add other items such as Walgreens Infants Pain and Fever or Walgreens even has Children’s Pain and Fever Suspension Liquid Bubble Gum (definitely didn’t have that when I was a kid)! This is also a great place to throw in some backup allergy medicine because Texas for sure does have its days!

Walgreens has a ‘Walgreens Way to Well Commitment’ as you can see on some of the labels. With the purchase of each Walgreens brand Health and Wellness product, $0.01 will be donated will support preventative wellness services to local communities (up to $3 million annually). Supporting a business that supports the community is always an added bonus!

The upcoming spring and summer season is a great time to revisit wellness kits. It’s affordable, convenient and definitely a great preparation in staying active and well this spring and summer!
