Plated.com Review and Giveaway

By
**I received this item for the purpose of a review. I was in no way compensated for my opinion as they are my own. Your opinion may vary from mine.**
When I found out that Plated.com started delivering to the midwest I did the Super Sasha Happy Dance and just had to try their service for myself! Plated.com is a delivery service that delivers fresh ingredients right to your door for quick and easy preperation of gourmet meals. Each week, Plated.com chooses a new menu of recipes created by featured top chefs. After you have chosen your recipes for the week, Plated.com's people go out and find the freshest ingredients out there and ship them straight to your door. Recipes are extremely easy to make and usually take no longer than 30 minutes to prepare. 

A new menu goes live every Monday at 12pm where ordering is available (at least 4 plates) until the following Monday at 11:59am. Orders are then overnighted for Tuesday delivery and ready for you to release your inner chef! 
Worried about your food staying cool and fresh until you return home from a long day at work? Don't! Plated.com shipps all ingredients in a custom-made, 100% recyclable, and biodegradable box loaded with ice packs to ensure your food stays fresh and yummy. Just transfer your ingredients right to your fridge that evening and everything will remain fresh for the remainder of the week.

My family and I got to try the Skirt Steak with Corn Salsa and Chicken Lettuce Wraps with Rice Noodles. We loved both of the recipes but the Chicken Lettuce Wraps were our favorite and were very easy to make. Preparation only took about 30-40 minutes and the only thing I needed to supply from my pantry was kosher salt and pepper. Plated.com sent everything including the chicken, fresh veggies, sauces, spices, and noodles. They even sent fresh ginger that I peeled and minced myself!

Cooking the recipes from Plated.com made me feel like a master chef. I absolutely loved the experience and the fact that I was cooking fresh gourmet food for my family. The menu options each week amaze me. I would have never cooked any of these recipes without the help of Plated.com. I can't wait to try them out again!
Right now, Plated.com delivers to the Northwest and Midwest only but be sure to check out this week's menu and delivery areas as I have a feeling they will be expanding to other areas.

    PLATED.COM LEFT US HOLDING THE BAG

    PROS: The food looks good on website

    CONS: Plated charges shipping on free giveaways, doesn't protect user privacy and does recurring billing

    QUICK TIPS: READ FINE PRINT. They are tricky.

    We met the staff at Plated.com at BlogHer13. The product seemed to meet our strict standards but after giving away the gift cards we were given all hell broke loose. The winners were charged $7 for shhipping and some food never arrived. We reached out to Emily at Plated.com and was told she would connect us with rep Benhtzi. This was Sept. 1, 2013. We reached out again and again and NO ONE from Plated.com ever got back with us. In the meantime, angry winners called us and we kept telling them we were waiting to hear back from Emily at Plated. She was just terrible! Their cards were charged each week for additional Plated.com meals. WHAT A MESS! It was like the old days of AOL when the endless CDs showed up at your home! Since September, we called her again on November 11 and she was dismissive and rude. At this point we will be forced to refund the $7 to eleven winners and risk the trust of our readers.

    WE SIMPLY CANNOT RECOMMEND PLATED! Buyer Beware

Life has been anything but normal lately, in fact it's been nothing short of hectic! I went back to work in the service industry, my daughter turned 2 years old (help me), I got an amazing new job (big girl panties are on now!), turned 30 years old, my grandfather (the man who raised me and who is my best friend) was diagnosed with Cancer, we almost lost one of our dogs to a deadly infection (I'll explain that later), and my fiance' and I are finally going to take the plunge and get married! Holy crap, reading all that back just made me tired! Anyway, I really wanted to get back into blogging before my one year blogiversary, so to jump start this I thought we'd celebrate all the good that has happened lately. Maybe a giveaway for all my loyal readers that have stuck around and for any new ones that would like to join in on the fun?! Giveaway will be for a $25 Gift Card to Amazon (or somewhere else if you choose) and will be open Worldwide! If I get enough entries, I...

Herbal Essence Naked Volume Collection

By
**I received this item for the purpose of a review. I was in no way compensated for my opinion as they are my own. Your opinion may vary from mine.** Herbal Essence has a new collection out called the Naked Collection Volume. Obviously I was intrigued by this because naked to me means no crazy chemicals and my hair loves products like those. I used to have very thick and healthy hair but it has thinned out dramatically since I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease over 5 years ago. Nowadays, my hair is very picky about the products I use. I wouldn't say it's damaged, it actually looks and feels pretty healthy, but it goes flat and becomes greasy quick because of how thin it is. Because of the autoimmune disease I have, I like to watch what kind of chemicals my body comes in contact with. Anything is mess up the balance in a compromised immune system. Needless to say, I was excited to learn more about the Naked Volume Collection by Herbal Essence.  The naked Naked ...
