Big Flavors, Small Packages



When I go on one of my weekly excursions, my second question after asking where we are going is always, "What are we going to eat?" Lately, we have gotten into a more routine menu, stuff that is lightweight, easy to prepare, and is fulfilling. One of my favorite things to eat is a Nature's Bakery Fig Bar. I know the first thing that probably comes to mind are those Fig Newtons your parents used to keep in the pantry. I think most of my friends hated them growing up. Well I have always liked the figs, but Fig Newtons were just not a good option for me. They are artificial, enriched, and full of other junk. Gross!! Well the answer to all of this stumbled on me while I was working in the cafe one day a few months ago. I was restocking the candy as usual, and focusing on my "organic corner" as I like to call it - organic gummy worms, and starburst are amazing btw - I saw something called a Fig Bar, it was peach-apricot so I wasn't too sure about it and didn't try it. Well a few days passed, and I couldn't get this mysterious snack out of my head, I went to grocery store and found a blueberry Fig Bar. I cannot even tell you how excited I was to try this thing!! I opened the package, not quite sure what I wouldn't find, to my surprise I saw what looked liked two large sized Fig Newtons. I took a bite, and my eyes grew wide and I smiled with joy as I had found the perfect, and healthy snack.

 Fig Bars are Kosher, Non-GMO, Gluten-free, made with ancient grains, Vegan Certified, Soy free, no artificial flavors or colors, no high fructose corn syrup and SO much more!! They are everything you need for an on-the-go snack. They are packed with flavors such as, Blueberry, Raspberry, Fig, Chocolate Brownie, and Peach-Apricot. I always buy two or three of these and throw them in my pack for a trail snack, or while we are setting up camp. I simply cannot say enough good things about Fig Bars, so I will leave you with their mission statement, and the choice to try them yourselves, or miss out on the best snack ever!

Nature's Bakery mission statement is:

Top 5 Nude Beaches in the United States

Public nudity is something frowned upon in the United States - many of us are thankful for that -, although in Europe most beaches are nude friendly. If you want to feel a little more free, and looking for a new experience, then check out these top five nude beaches in the United States.  5. San Gregorio, San Mateo County, California  The small town of San Gregorio, home to only 287 people is just south of San Francisco. This is the oldest nude beach in the United States.

Top 5 Islands to Visit Before You Die

Escape to this island paradise with me!  5. Bora Bora  The small island of Bora Bora (just 6 miles long and more than 2 miles wide) overflows with beauty. Dormant volcanoes rise up at its center and fan out into lush jungle before spilling into an aquamarine lagoon. In fact, author James Michener, who wrote "Tales of the South Pacific," called Bora Bora "the most beautiful island in the world." The 18th-century British explorer James Cook even coined it as the "pearl of the Pacific." The very definition of a tropical getaway, blissful Bora Bora abounds with luxurious resorts, sunny skies, warm waters and friendly locals. Many of Bora Bora's beaches are manmade and not much to write home about. The pristine lagoons are another story. 4. St. Martin - St. Maarten If you associate the Caribbean with a laid-back atmosphere, a tranquil beach and a quiet sunset, then you haven't been to feisty St. Martin and St. Maarten. W...
