Try It Tuesday – Krispy Creme Coffee Donut

Katie May 20, 2014 0Comment

Krispy Kreme recently unveiled some “coffee flavored” doughnuts. Since I was at the casino and saw that the line for the Krispy Kreme was not  all that long and I was looking for something to eat for dinner since all the restaurant lines were super long… I figured I’d get a coffee flavored doughnut.  This is the “Mocha Kreme Doughnut”

A moist yeast doughnut filled with a tasty blend of chocolate and coffee flavors, topped with mocha icing, a milk chocolate swirl and decorated with milk chocolate icing.

I am not a fan of overpowering coffee flavors, and this doughnut had just enough of the flavor that I could taste it mixed in with the chocolate, but it was not too overpowering or leaving me wondering if my breath would be stinking of coffee for the rest of the evening.  I’m not a fan of the filling that Krispy Kreme uses – it’s thick and similar to cake icing which is often a bit too much.  This is my complaint for all of Krispy Kreme’s filled doughnuts though, so nothing new there.

Overall I enjoyed it and would probably have it again if the opportunity arose. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys chocolate and coffee flavors.

Product Review: Detangling Brush

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Lately I’ve been having trouble with my hair brushes. They are loosing the little ball at the tip of the bristles and hurting my head and at times even scratching my head.  I’ve been going crazy trying to find something that won’t hurt me but can still tame my wild hair.  When I found out about Crave Natural’s Detangling Brush, I knew I had to try it out!

Of course, I tried to get wild hair for my “before” picture and of course my head must have known that I was doing that because this is nothing compared to my typical bed-head!  Although my hair is curly, thick and wild, the brush has no problems brushing through it and even though it was very soft on my head it got the job done!  I think I have found my new hair brush!

Both children and adults will notice the benefits of the brush on the first use. Children love how it will not cause pain or tears. Adults love the brush because it is gentle and does not cause pulling or breakage. The brush was designed to minimize breakage and split ends while it tackles knots and tangles effortlessly.

– Can be used on wet or dry hair – Great for the beach
– Use on wigs or extensions without causing damage
– Pain free and tear free so little ones do not get upset
– No more breakage and pulling that you old brush used to do
– Has a handle and can be used while blow drying your hair

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
