Late for the Sky: Cat-Opoly Review

Late for the Sky: Cat-Opoly Review + Giveaway

It is not a big secret that I love cats, but what may come as a surprise is that I also love board games.

A couple of years ago, on a rainy day, Jason and I ventured to our local toy store with the intention of purchasing a couple of board games. We wanted something nostalgic, something trivial and a property trading type game. After about an hour looking and comparing the various qualities we ended up with three games, of which we played all of them when we got home that day.

At the time I recall wishing that there was a way to fuse my love of cats and my love of games into one spectacular cat themed game. While my idea was on the mark, somebody beat me to the idea with Late for the Sky’s Cat-Opoly.

Peaches & Petals Subscription Box – October 2016 Review

As I listen to my husband sniffle and snort I realize that the weather is changing, and with that comes the fall holidays.

With the fall holidays comes the scents, conversations and planning for the next 8 weeks. With the weather changing the temperature is dropping and when I saw the October Peaches and Petals box I was reminded of the approaching days.

The boxes contents all revolve around the “Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice” theme and are appropriate, and useful while constantly remaining in theme.

RTGS Products: 100 Warm White LED Set Review

RTGS Products: 100 Warm White LED Set Review + Giveaway

As we march into the holiday season I have begun thinking about decorations.

I love the idea of something large that will greet visitors to our home. Since I am a DIY gal I began looking online and settled on a cup snowman. Since the easiest way to light up this centerpiece of my holiday decorations the technology of LED lights is the perfect way to light up and keep fire hazards at a minimum.

As luck would have it, as it often does, RTGS Products recently released a new warm white set.

SoapBox Soaps: Vanilla Liquid Hand Soap Review

SoapBox Soaps: Vanilla Liquid Hand Soap Review + Giveaway

As we head into the fall months I have noticed the smell of cinnamon and vanilla are filling my senses.

When I think of vanilla the first thing that pops in my head are cookies and other baked goods. I had never really been a fan of scented soaps until I hit my late teens. Since then I have become a huge fan of scented soaps, and look forward to new scents and varieties entering my life.

Since the one of the smells of the season is Vanilla it seems more than appropriate that SoapBox Soaps has released a new liquid soap.

Peaches & Petals Subscription Box – September 2016 Review

The concept of cute and I have never been something that fit together. I never considered things “cute” by societies standards and while that made me a little different from my peers, it also made me unique.

I believe that uniqueness is a quality that many young people are losing. People seem to be more concerned with going with the crowd rather than celebrating what makes them unique. There are many ways to be cute, while keeping your own individuality.

When I saw the September Peaches and Petals box I was happy to see a box that celebrates the concept of uniqueness. The boxes contents all revolve around the “Cuteness Overload” theme and are appropriate, and useful while always remaining in theme.

When you start making meals at home, there are certain tools that make the job easier. There are the obvious time savers like knives, and chopping and frying.

On the flip side there are the tools that will make life easier, but as beginning home chefs these items are unknown to us. Since we are cooking at home more we are adding salads and fruits to our meals as a side note to the protein.

When I was re-approached by Cave Tools with an opportunity to review their new items, I was interested since I have had the chance to review other products of theirs. When I discovered it was a Salad Spinner & Large Serving Bowl Set I was excited, as we needed one. Continue reading →

Epsom Salt Rainbow DIY

Epsom Salt Rainbow DIY + Giveaway!!!!

There are few items as versatile as Epsom Salt.

Epsom Salt is a magnesium sulfate that is in an inorganic, which means that it does not consist of or derives from living matter or that are not organic. This is a salt that contains magnesium sulfur and oxygen. While it sounds complicated, really what you have is a versatile salt that can not be eaten but can be used on your body, beauty products and even stubborn dishes.

The largest issue that we have is stubborn dishes, the food gets caked on and making the clean up near impossible. Since Epsom Salt when used before you scrub your dishes, makes the clean up a little easier, I wanted a pleasing yet functional way to store my salt near the sink. After some contemplation, I decided on making a Rainbow of Epsom Salt.

Monthly Mystery Box of Awesome – August 2016 Review

Monthly Mystery Box of Awesome – August 2016 Review

I am a collector of many items, from paper to gadgets. I think that this collecting nature started when I was a child. I had board games that were my mothers, and patches from my father’s high school days.

Now that I have a house, I realize that space is a commodity and am always looking for ways to make the space stretch further than it looks on the surface. The problem with being a collector is that I have a collection of the most random items from hammocks to cat toys. I am a believer that each item I may not want would make a great holiday gift, so I save and collect.

I also love adding to this collection each month and the Monthly Mystery Box of Awesome by That Daily Deal.com helps me collect items that I did not know I wanted! Each month no theme is chosen, but rather a selection of random gender neutral items that will undoubtedly meet a need in your life that you never knew was missing.

Sugru: Moldable Glue Kit Review

Sugru: Home Hacks Made Easy Kit Review and Giveaway

Many people who know me know that I love a good hack, and even better when the hack works.

Since we are now homeowners the home repairs fall to us and the responsibility to make repairs falls upon us. I am not going to lie, I miss the days in which I could just make a call and the repair would be completed. Sadly that is not the way things are now, and as with life, I adjust.

As many fellow homeowners can agree, everything is expensive. Even when things seem like they should be easy fixes it ends up triple the cost. When I discover hacks to fix and repair items I get excited. When Sugru Moldable Glue reached out to me, I was immediately intrigued by this moldable glue.
