VÉA Snacks World Crisps Review


I received a free snack size bag of VÉA Snacks World Crisps from MyMagazine Sharing Network in return for their VÉA Snacks Mission. 
MyMagazine Sharing Network is a program that sends you free products to test, try and share about it during “Missions”. 
Sharing earns you points and more points means greater chances of being chosen for upcoming missions. I really enjoy these as they are great ways to try new products and share about them:  the good, the not so good & the fab!
My VÉA Snacks Mission Box from MyMagazine Sharing Network included:
  • VÉA Snacks World Crisps Tuscan Herb with Roasted Garlic (1.2 oz)
  • 5 Coupons for $1.00 off ay 5 oz bag or larger of any VÉA Snack

These looked tasty right out of the Mission box I received in the mail so I ripped it open right away. 
I decided to try a few solo so I could get a good idea of the taste of the product and then I decided to try them topped with some cheese. 
The crisps by themselves are thick and have a cracker-like texture.  The Tuscan Herb flavor is strong. I didn’t really notice the garlic that much but then again, I eat quite a bit of garlic so a hint is probably flying under my taste bud radar! They did taste a bit peppery however, but not in a bad way. 
The crisps have large pieces of herbs in them and are irregular shaped, having a very artisan appearance. The VÉA Snacks World Crisps are free of artificial colors, flavors, or ingredients and contain no trans fats which I feel is a great trait.
I will definitely be purchasing these in the future. I found the flavor combination to be very tasty and the texture was great by itself or with toppings should I want to get creative in the kitchen.
I received these free to try in return for my honest opinion & review.

BIC® Gel-ocity® Quick Dry Gel Pens - The Smear Stops Here! 

Goodness, when I first shared this mission with my rock painting morning mommie playdate group, they just couldn't wait to see how these pens measured up against our usual choices!  

They had a hard time waiting for me to recieve & finally check out the free samples in hopes of my sharing those coupons with them in hopes that they might score their own!

Once I received my free samples, I dug right into checking them out!  I first tried them on the coloring sheet...and promptly found one of my pens MISSING- turned out that the kids had "borrowed it" for their projects!

These were vivid & vibrant on paper, but would they work on our painted rocks? Darned straight, they did!  

These are fast becoming a staple in #318Rocks!:  the #RedRocks! Painted Rock Project Community Arts Initiative in our area!

I FINALLY...reluctantly even, shared those coveted coupons with my fellow Mom's & they ran out & grabbed a set of their own and suddenly, they were a staple for us!

WOW- I can't believe how well these pens live up to the description

 "- Dries up to 3x faster* for less smearing* vs. BIC® Gel-ocity Original based on average dry times of blue, black and red ink. Individual dry times may vary by color.
- Super smooth writing retractable gel pen
- Comfortable full grip barrel
- 0.7 mm medium point"  

I was NOT expecting such a great product! I've started keeping them in my rock painting kit, my purse, and in the cup in the pass-thru used for notes!!! My kids have them in their school supplies & I have them tucked away for Christmas gifts! Quite a hit, Bic!  Thank you!

I was able to test & try this product c/o Smiley360 #GotItFree, Thank you Bic & Smiley360!
