Nicky Bronner who was 13 years old at the time who got into an argument over Halloween candy with his dad, Michael after finding out his dad had confiscated most of them. Why? Because candy was too unhealthy.
The move Nicky took next was unthinkable. Nicky was on a mission to make candy without artificial flavors and corn syrup.
Later, he teamed up with Adam who was inspired by Nicky's idea and a top chef in Spain to expand the project.
Later, Nicky's mission came true. UNREAL was born. This time, I was able to part of this movement.
I was asked to host an UNREAL Candy Party.
I decided to host the party on the popular candy night, Halloween.
My husband and I were ready to welcome the children in our neighborhood.
We had about 20 guests came by and tried Unreal candy. I asked each individual to vote for their favorite. And as I expected, "Peanut Butter Cups" won the 1st place. If you are chocolate lover, you might feel something missing. But consider this:
UNREAL:
No Artificials
No Hydrogenateds
No Corn Syrups
No Preservatives
No GMOs
That's what you felt it was missing which is plus to your body. But most of children did not even noticed the difference from the popular brands. And we made some parents happy tonight.
I have replaced my kids' snack options with UNREAL because they are better for them.
If you would like to purchase UNREAL candy, you can find them at CVS, BJ's Food 4 Less, Fred Meyer, Haggen, Krogger, Michael's, Ralph's Rite Aid, Staples, Target, Top Food & Drug and Walgreens.
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Quaker Oats for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
I alway love love the products from Quaker. So when I saw the commercial about Quaker Soft Baked Bar, I was already excited.
Yes, it is true that I've been tried to lose some weight. My choice of snacks are limited. Quiet frankly, I am getting tired of the choices I had so far. Quaker Soft Baked Bar will add something new to my selections. Quaker Soft Baked Bar is not only taste good but has healthier ingredients:
140 calories
5g of fiber
6g of protein
Excellen source of 5 B-vitamins
Quaker Soft Baked Bar is available in two flavors, Banana Nut Bread and Cinnamon Pecan Bread.
I can use Quaker Soft Baked Bar as breakfast snack for my boys just like other wholesome food. I am pretty sure they will enjoy as much as I do.
Summer is almost here. And I know I am not the only one who try to lose some weight. But you don't want to be miserable by eathing same tasteless snack over and oever again. Since I love Banana Nut Bread, I am positive that I will not be tired of eating Quaker Soft Baked Bar.
I love going to beach. Who doesn’t??? I grew up by the beach
in Japan. I used to wake up with the sound of wave. I miss that so much. It’s funny feeling I had the best thing in
the world under my toes and did not even realize until now.
I live in North Carolina Coastline, probably about 1 hour
drive away from nearest beach. I can take my boys there on the weekend. But I
would love to plan the perfect vacation. Destination?
I have visited there once before. It was during summer but I
remember it was really crowded. Because we got together with my cousin from
Japan to meet her boyfriend at the time, we only spend 1 day there. We did
manage to walk around the beach for a few hours. But then we had to leave…
This time, I would like to spend several days there. And I
am actually making plans for some activities.
Building a sandcastle with boys (My boys might
be too old for this but who cares!)
Challenging surfing for the 1st time
(Taking surf lessons first, off course)
Visiting Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science
Center (Must visit every aquarium nearby.)
Climbing to the top of the Old Cape Henry
Lighthouse (I’ve never visited lighthouse before in my life)
Shopping (can’t forget that)
These are just a few examples. I will not be just lying down
on the beach to get suntan, although it will be nice to be relax for a few
hours.
I believe the best food comes from the ocean. It reminds me of my hometown. By ocean, you can find fresh seafood and veggies.
We love to enjoy good meal while our stay in Virginia beach. I know that we can find fine restaurants in Norfolk area. As the matter of fact, I found that there was a food tour. It is called "Norfolk Granby Street Food Tour". We can schedule our tour on Saturdays between 4:00 and 7:30 pm for $65.00.
Food Tour may include:
Local seafood specialties
Award winning chef's signature dishes
House smoked meat tasting
Award winning she crab soup
Fair trade organic coffee
Electic tapas created with locally sourced ingredients
Authentic Morrocan cuisine served at a 19th century carriage house
Also, don't forget shopping. (Who would forget?)
Virginia Beach has one of the largest mall on the east coast. We must visit Lynnhaven Mall. They have over 180 specialty stores.
Off course, we can walk around 40 blocks souvenir shops, surf shops, craft shops and all other different types of shops to enjoy shopping along with sightseeing.
Well, I am not sure one week is enough time to do all the activities. I wish we can stay longer. But one thing I am sure about is that my family and I will definitely have a great time together at Virginia Beach.

Is there any ice cream truck coming through your neighborhood?
Is there older guy on the truck?
Do you know who he is?
Do you know anything about him?
I don't like the one coming through my neighborhood.
He is such a jerk to kids.
If adults are not there or close enough, he will treat kids bad. He is so rude to stuff.
I called the local office tried to file complaint against this business. But he was not registered. Because we are out of city limit, I found out that it was OK not to have a license to have an ice cream truck.
Most of the time, he won't even stop for kids.
If he does not want to stop, why does he even drive through the neighborhood???
He always dress tank top and shorts like from 70's.
My husband thinks that he is a child molester. He looks like one, too.
I know where he lives though. He lives by my sister-in-law's house.
I asked him if he lived the in the area where my sis-in-law lives, he replied no.
Why did he even lie? Does he has something to hide???
I would not buy anything from this jerk.
Because there is another ice cream truck started coming through.
This time, it's a lady. She is so nice and all the children like her.
I used to use "toolbar" to manage my bookmarks online. I was able to save everything I needed there and access from anywhere. Well, time has changed. Now, none of the toolbar I used to use are not compatible with the web browser I constantly use.

I am slowly learning about "Twitter Party". It was my third attempt and participated in the party. Some people told me that they have won prizes a quiet few times.
Soon enough, I won my first prize. I won $50.00 Macys GC last night. Yay!!
I was trying to catch up with all the conversation. Then, I kept receiving "Congrats" messages from everyone. That was how I found out I've won something.
I need to find more about twitter party. Some of them are required for reservation. I am so addicted.
New Kindle Fire will be released on 15 Nov. It's $199.00.
I would love to have iPad2 but to be quiet honest, it is too expensive for me.

Since I enter for sweepstakes a lot, I can use a little help. I've read some sweepers bloggers, they said that the entry using roboform does not prevent them from winning.
That been said, I am proud to introduce RoboForm Anywhere.
I am using it and living it!
They have an apps for iphone as well.
I can enter more sweepstakes now, and that means more winning for me!
Thank you Florida, Kentucky, and Missouri, which are the first states that will require drug testing when applying for welfare. Some people are crying and calling this unconstitutional. How is this unconstitutional? It's OK to drug test people who work for their money but not those who don't?… Re-post this if you'd like to see this done in all 50 states!!!
So, by now everyone saw Mr. Obama's birth certificate. Donald Trump needs to show his tax return as he promised. I saw him on CNN a few min. ago, he said he did not say that he was going to show his tax return.
Well, I knew he would say that anyway.
This is bad.
Some politicians think only way they can win the election would be if Mr. Obama was not U.S. citizen.
We all should know this is the tough time. Do they seriously think somebody can do better job than our current president on various issues?
Just imagine, what would you think if someone like Trump becomes our president? I am watching his interview on CNN...is he serious?
I don't understand the fuss about the security procedure at the airport. You go to the doctor, the doctor examine you and touches you, then you are fine with it. Same thing! Airport security checkers have to examine you. What's wrong with that?
If you don't like it, don't get on the airplanes. You don't want any terrorist on the plane, but you don't want to be checked because your privacy is violated??? It does not make sense!
You can tell who the terrorists are from the way they look. That is the bottom line.
Have you heard of "Starbucks Rewards Program"? More you drink Starbucks coffee, more rewards you can receive. All you do is to register your Starbucks gift card online and start earning points. You can re-charge the card online or at the store near by.
If you are coffee lover, you only can gain points by drinking!
My friends and co-workers always gave me the Starbucks cards for various occations. They know I love the coffee.
It will help your family. If you think about your future, you should get term life insurance quote right now. I did. Because I want what's best for my children.
It is getting more popular today. Do you know what it is? It is "Mobile Marketing". It is so easy to get updated info through sms marketing for real estate. If I found the property I would like to see more info on, I could just send the text with the code. And I get all the information about the property. I wish the service was available when I was looking for my first home!!
