TWIX Bites on-the-go: the movies, the outdoors, and more! #EatMoreBites


There are never enough hours in the day for me. I have a full-time job, and I write both this blog and my book blog, which are like two part-time jobs combined; if you add them all up, I probably work 50-60 hours a week. To top that off, I am always on-the-go, whether it be for movie screenings, meeting up with friends, or running around doing errands - and sometimes, when you leave the house at 9am and don't return until 10pm, you get hungry for some snacks.

I also have a huge sweet tooth, but eating a large candy bar, which can top out at 250-300 calories, is not really in my weekday caloric budget, either.


I was shopping at Wal-Mart the other day and saw that TWIX has a new product out - TWIX Bites. They're basically unwrapped TWIX bars, but tiny: a serving is five or six, and has less calories than two TWIX Bars would be.


So of course I had to buy them - and I threw in a bag of Snickers Bites too, for good measure - and I've been eating them everywhere over the past few weeks.

I went to visit my parents a few weekends ago, and they live by a lake, so we grabbed the bag and headed outside:


The next day, I threw them in my purse on the way to work, and they made a nice midday snack:



That night, I also had a movie screening to go to, so I was able to enjoy some of the TWIX Bites in the theater as well (shh!).


If you aren't already drooling by now, I have even more good news: if you're planning on buying some TWIX Bites for yourself, you can grab this coupon courtesy of #CollectiveBias and #EatMoreBites, which will give you $1 off two smaller bags or $3 off two larger bags! And if you want more than two larger bags, you can print this coupon too, for another $3 off two bags (TWIX, 3 Musketeers, Milky Way, or Snickers). Satisfying my sweet tooth while doing so inexpensively is something I can definitely support.


So the next time you see me at the movies, you may see me eating some TWIX Bites or Snickers Bites - just don't ask me to share. :)

Review: Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins

*Disclosure: I received a gift card to try the new Polar Pizza at Baskin-Robbins. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. Baskin-Robbins launched its Polar Pizza last month (July), as I talked about in my recent post about them, and because this past month was crazy busy for me, I didn't get to try the Polar Pizza until this past Sunday. My parents and I went to the combined Dunkin' Donuts / Baskin-Robbins near them, in Novi, MI, to split one of the ice cream pizzas.

Trip Review: Bavarian Inn Lodge, Frankenmuth, MI

Image
*Disclosure: I received a free one-night stay at Bavarian Inn Lodge in exchange for this review. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own. This past Friday, I had the pleasure of staying at the Bavarian Inn Lodge , in Frankenmuth, Michigan, for one night. I've been to Frankenmuth many times, and even stayed overnight in the neighboring Birch Run, but I had never stayed directly in the city before, so I was excited to stay at the Lodge. Friday was a rainy day, but we didn't let that stop us from having fun. We stopped at Halo Burger, in Birch Run, for lunch—there used to be locations in Novi and Troy, but both closed, and their food is very good—and then hit up Bronner's Christmas Wonderland, which is the largest Christmas store in the world.  For those who are unfamiliar with Frankenmuth , it is a German/Bavaria-themed town, about an hour north of the Metro Detroit area, nicknamed "Michigan's Little Bavaria." There is always a lot of things to do in Fr...
