Good evening everyone!

I came to a conclusion that I need to make drastic changes to this blog in order to make progress and positive improvements. I feel like I’ve been making excuses so that I don’t feel bad about not updating or posting a review on this blog. I also feel that I need to make this more personal, especially if I want to make it unique and ultimately “mine”. Reviews and giveaways are nice but I know that there are no “heart-to-heart” sharing between the readers/subscribers and the writer (myself). I am really sorry if this have made you walk away from this blog after reading one or two or three posts. I definitely saw that the number of subscribers or viewers dramatically decreased over the couple of months when I lacked in detailed posts. I want to apologize for this. I am going to do something about this, whether it is writing more personal writings or putting up pictures or more tasty recipes, etc. I know this change is going to take time. I can’t promise that this will happen overnight. I can’t promise that I will be bringing fabulous or life changing recipes that other bloggers bring to you (they inspire me so much but I am not as talented… i hope i can improve though!). However, I am going to try my best to make An Apple A Day unique and special to my heart and hopefully to you as well.

Thank you for listening!

Btw, I attended Foodbuzz Festival this past weekend and it was a very good experience. First night was a bit awkward because I didn’t know anyone there. I brought my husband along… and I was sorry that he had to suffer through the awkwardness that night too. We felt that we were out of the picture but this was partly due to our fault because we didn’t make the effort to really make friends. On Saturday though, we made friends and talked about very interesting topics. We enjoyed ourselves through people AND food. I am very glad that I was given this opportunity to attend the festival. I really hope I can attend again next year :) (honey, you should start that coffee blog soon! ;)

Today, I bring you a giveaway from Simple Squares!

These bars are perfect combination of savory and sweet.

These are free of wheat, gluten, dairy and soy. However, there are nuts (if you’re allergic to them). The honey is the main source of sweet, which also do not make them vegan. Coconut flakes also add nice touch of sweet as well. Nuts and sea salt add the saltiness/savory side to the bar. I enjoyed them but I am not a huge fan of coconut flavor. I loved how I was able to see the chunks of huge almonds and cashews! Another downside was that I couldn’t really tell the difference in flavor between the three. I couldn’t detect rosemary flavor as much as I hoped in the Rosemary bar. But that doesn’t mean they didn’t taste good because they were delicious!!! These bars are infused with vanilla, which I loved and adored at the same time :)
