popchips #popupmovie

On June 10th I packed up my family and some lawn chairs and off we went to the popchips’ sponsored #popupmovie Screen on the Green event at Meier Amphitheater.  The boys were so excited to have a “movie night” and for the movie, Hotel for Dogs.

Of course I was going to watch the movie and spend time with the fam, but I was also attending to celebrate the launch of Katy Perry’s new Popchips flavor, kettle corn!

“popchips had never ventured into sweet territory before, but i wanted to add my personal touch when creating a flavor,” said katy perry. “so i rallied behind the idea of kettle corn. when i snack, i crave a little bit of sweet and a little bit of salt, but i had yet to find a healthier way to satisfy those cravings. when popchipsfirst approached me to be an ambassador, i thought, ‘hey, this is my chance to create my snacking desire.’ after a series of intensive taste tests, i’m proud to introduce the best of both worlds, and my dream snack realized – katy’s kettle corn!” katy also put her own unique twist on the packaging, from the pink and purple colors and spotlight to the heart over the “i” in the popchips logo.

My husband was the first to try it out, being a big kettle corn fan – and he loved it!

My little one was next – same response as his Dad, and now me!  I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the popchips due to my food sensitivity diet, but I was so excited after reading the ingredients – I can eat them, and they are VERY good!

Please note: I was compensated by popchips for this, although 100% of the opinions are my own!!

I am going to try and post weekly some of the great website links and companies I stumble across.  Here we go!

Check out Fetch Eyewear – an affordable line of stylish sunglasses.  Profits go to the Pixie Project which helps to improve animal welfare via veterinary and rescue efforts.

Another cool app – want to show off your green thumb, but you don’t know what to plant where you live?  Check out the Burpee Garden Time Planner app – plug in your region and voila!  It also includes a plant database, how-to video links, and local weather.
