Free Sample :: Lipton Mango Flavored Iced Tea #LiptonMango

I'll be straight with you - I'm not an iced tea sort of gal. I'll take a regular iced coffee with cream and sugar from Dunkin' Donuts any day.

But in the past few months, as temperatures here in Salt Lake climb higher and higher, I have found that I really enjoy flavored iced tea. It really is more refreshing when you are spending a lot of time outdoors and in the sun. I feel a lot more hydrated without the surge of caffeine and added sugar. So far I've tried some lemon, peach, and most recently, mango.

How tropical!

Lipton sent me a coupon for a free sample of their mango flavored iced tea through the MyMagazine Sharing Network (seriously, if you shop at Kroger Co Family of Stores, check this out!).

I did honestly like this product. As far as iced teas go, I thought it was the right amount of sweetness. The mango gave it a nice twist, so it was refreshing and fruity without being overwhelming. I liked that it came in a plastic bottle instead of glass, so I could easily take it with me to the pool. I would consider buying this iced tea again, perhaps in refrigerated individual bottles at a grocery store, gas station, or convenience store.

Free Sample :: Private Selection #FireUpTheFlavor

I recently joined the MyMagazine Sharing Network through my local grocery store, Smith's, the Utah brand of Kroger's family of stores. Through this website, I have gotten the opportunity to try some new products for free. If you shop at a Kroger store and are interested in learning more about MyMagazine Sharing Network, click here.

The first of these products that I got to try was Private Selection's Green Chile Ranch Seasoning Rub and Texas Inspired BBQ Kettle Potato Chips.

Private Selection's Green Chile Ranch Seasoning Rub

First, the Green Chile Ranch Seasoning Rub was... alright. To be honest, I prefer little to no additional seasoning on my grilled meats, so that I can better experience the natural flavor of the meat itself. I'm a bit of a purist. This seasoning rub is a little strong for my liking, and it is not something I will purchase again in the future. My boyfriend, on the other hand, does like to spice things up on the grill occasionally and he says he will continue to use it when he makes burgers for himself.

Private Selection's Texas Inspired BBQ Kettle Potato Chips

Now, regarding the Texas Inspired BBQ Kettle Potato Chips... GOSH DARN IT I LOVE THESE. I have put these in the shopping cart three times since I first tried them. The flavor reminds me of a more sophisticated and grown-up version of Fritos Flavor Twists Honey BBQ corn snacks, an old road-trip favorite of mine. I just can't get enough of these chips, and I highly recommend giving them a try. The Texas Inspired BBQ Kettle Potato Chips are usually priced at $2.99 at Smith's (a little more expensive than your average Lays, and a little less expensive than your exclusive Cape Cod). You can always trust Smith's to offer great prices through sales and coupons on their app - these chips are currently on sale for 2 for $5, and there might still be a coupon available for $0.60 off. I already used my coupon to restock my chip supply, so I can continue to fuel this BBQ addiction!

Free :: May Designs Download

May Designs is one of my absolute favorite companies - they have some of the best customizable notebooks and stationery. I adore their backgrounds and monograms (I think I've actually fallen in love with the Watercolor Painted Garden pattern), and I've been a repeat customer for almost a year.

Each month, May Designs releases a set of tech downloads based on some of their new designs. For September, they've put out 4 Vintage Tile Desktop and Phone Wallpapers.

My favorites are the Talavera and Quatrefoil patterns, shown above. I've got both downloaded for my iPhone and iMac backgrounds, so I'll probably switch it up mid-month.

Update :: September Challenge

The first step is always the hardest, right? I nearly had to drag myself out of bed this afternoon to complete Day 1 of the 30 Day Yoga Challenge with Erin Motz on DoYouYoga. Of course, after the session I feel so stretched out and happy I started this journey today.
