Taco Bell’s Tiny Packets get Bottled!!

I received each one of Taco Bell’s new bottle sauce packets for free in return for my honest feedback.

What family doesn’t have “Taco Night”? My kids couldn’t live without it and neither could I. Who doesn’t LOVE Mexican food and what better to pair it with than sauces, to be more specific Taco Bell’s sauces! How many of you are guilty of stocking up on Taco Bell’s little tiny packets of sauces to make sure you never have to go without? I know I am and I have always been a huge fan. Then their Verde sauce was introduced and it was love at first try.

It’s not that I wouldn’t have purchased these delicious bottles of goodness but they weren’t available in bottle form so I had to get my Taco Bell fix only by going to Taco Bell, so you could only imagine how ecstatic I was to find out that they bottled them!! So here are some pros and cons to give you the 411 on these bottled sauces.

Pros:
You know longer have to go to Taco Bell to get the sauces you love, they’re now available to you at your local supermarket.
The bottles are stylish looking for decorating your dinner for “Mexican Night”.
They come in all 4 flavors: Fire, Hot, Verde, and Mild.
Convenience of always having your favorite sauces close by for every occasion.

Cons:
The bottle, although stylish, is glass which isn’t very child friendly.
The glass bottle also has a regular pour spout and I believe a squirt top would be better, especially when trying to squeeze this in between a taco shell.
The flavors, in my opinion, aren’t spot on to what the little packets are. They tasted a bit more bland with not as much seasoning.

As you can see there are a lot of pros and cons. You will have to try it for yourself to really see how you like to and make your decision from you experience. In my experience, being a mother of two boys, I would’ve preferred a plastic squeeze bottle since its safer and more convenient, however I love being able to have my favorite flavors whenever I want (even when Taco Bell is closed)! Everyone has different taste buds so as far as the flavors go, again you will have your own opinion on if they’re exactly alike or not.

In closing I would have to say that they are still delicious and a must try in my opinion. I could see these “Taco Bell Favorites” being a “Family Favorite” for years to come!

Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow

I received a Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow in exchange for my honest review. 

When it first arrived there was a bit of a smell from the factory so I washed the cover and used Febreze to eliminate the smell. After allowing it to air out it was ready for use. 

I am a very hot sleeper and I was hoping to not have any disappointment from my high expectations of this Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow, after fighting off the kids whom were trying with all their mites to steal my new pillow I was ready to take it for a test drive. I normally don’t use contour pillows as well so this was also going to be a first. As I laid my head down onto my new Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow my head immediately sunk into it and I felt the cooling foam completely surround my entire head, neck, and shoulder areas. I move around a lot while I sleep and I noticed that the pillow was comfortable no matter which position I was in, stomach, side, or back, it felt comfortable in every way. I also noticed that each time my head would lift and return to the pillow the cooling foam started to work all over again. 

If I had to find one con it would have to be that because I like my head to be equal to my shoulders while I am lying on my side I did place a pillow below this one to raise it up a little and ensure my shoulder wasn’t uncomfortable. But I have to do this with any pillow in order to get it in just the right position for my comfort level. Although this pillow doesn’t cool my entire body (that would be amazing) it did feel amazing to have some cooling relief on my head, neck, and shoulder areas. 

The Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow would be a great addition to the Sleep Number DualTemp Layer as well, but is still amazing on it’s own as well! 

So, if you’re looking for some relief from night sweats, heat flashes, if your a hot sleeper, or if you just like that cool refreshing feeling at night I would definitely recommend the  Sleep Number 5” CoolFit™ Foam Contour Pillow!
