Jackpot Candles Summer 2016 Giveaway

Jackpot Candles Summer 2016 Giveaway!!!!

About a decade ago, I developed a new hobby – candle making. I eagerly would search thrift stores for new and interesting places to pour the wax into and burn. I had a collection of different glasses and metal receptacles. I loved that I could spend a little time in the kitchen and the result was a candle that would burn far more hours than it took to create it.

The creation for candles did not last long overall, and in the grand scheme of things was fleeting. The one thing that remained was my love for candles. The difference is now my appreciation of candles. I can appreciate the artistry, time and effort that goes into creating these burning pillars of scent.

Jackpot Candles are different from the typical candles that you can purchase in stores. Each candle has a piece of jewelry embedded into the wax, as you burn the candle down, the small aluminum square reveals itself. The value of the included piece is anywhere from $15.00 to $5,000.00 and the value is determined by an online appraisal – enter your code and get a value!

World of Munchies: Snack Attack Box Review

World of Munchies: Snack Attack Box – Review & Giveaway

As time passes I have discovered that I love to try new things. This is new for me as prior to the starting of this blog I had not been someone who was open to trying new items. I am very proud to say that I now not only try different items, but I actively seek out these opportunities to try something new. I have discovered many wonderfully yummy items and I look forward to each opportunity to sample these items.

I have had the opportunity in the past to review previous World of Munchies boxes, they are the perfect way to sample international snacks and sweets without the commitment. One of the offerings of boxes that they have is called the Snack Attack box. Each Snack Attack box you will receive 7-9 items in each box, selected from various international snacks. New products are being added often, which means that each box will be a random sampling of the snacks.

Birds of the World Adult Coloring Book Review

Birds of the World: Adult Coloring Book Review and Giveaway

Birds have always been one of natures most beautiful animals. There are colorful birds and birds whose names are almost unpronounceable. The common thread with all birds is that they fly over this world, and log more miles than most airplanes.

The one thing that is amazing is the art of flight. I think it is truly amazing that an animal can literally start from the ground and within moments be gliding through the air.

When I received a copy of Birds of the World: Adult Coloring Book by Remy Simard I was reminded of the magical ability of birds.

Howl: Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book Review

Howl: Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book – Blue Star Master Collection Review and Giveaway

When Jason and I used to live on a road much emptier than the busy road that we now live on. There was something calm and tranquil hearing the coyotes and crickets as we fell asleep.

Looking back I think my favorite sound was the howl of the coyotes. There was a special bark that they would make which would signal the acquisition of a meal. This became a common sound, and in time I found myself rooting for the howling creatures, despite knowing the kill was an unsuspecting animal or family pet.

When I received a copy of Howl: Stress Relieving Adult Coloring Book from the Blue Star Master Collection by Katy Lipscomb I was reminded of those long nights listening to the howls outside.

Triple T Studios: Pretty in Pink Cat Wallet Giveaway

Triple T Studios: Pretty in Pink Wallet Giveaway

Cat’s are funny creatures that are creatures of habit, but sometimes there are exceptions … let me explain. Our house has 3 sleeping spots that are popular with our cats – the yellow pillow I made them from one of our old pillows (which they seem to love), on the back of the couch and a dog bed that sits by the door (this gives them a perfect window to look out). The odd part of our cats is that they will totally abandon one of the spots and use one exclusively for a couple of weeks, and then move on to another spot that is totally out of the norm.

I love this aspect of cats – I love thinking what they must be thinking to make them move into otherwise abandoned spots. I have always believed that they have their own thoughts and do have a level of thought that many people underestimate.

A couple of months ago I was introduced to Triple T Studios, and this could not have been a better introduction. I am a supporter of not only my cats, but all cats. One of the products available on their site is a Kitten Wallet which is just beyond feline themed!

It’s Owl Good Adult Coloring Book Review

It’s Owl Good: An Adult Coloring Book Review and Giveaway

There is a loud friend we have in our neighborhood. This particular friend is about 2 feet tall, with a wingspan that is about triple his height. This majestic creature is as beautiful as loud, and to hear his hoot and screech remind us that nature is all around.

Owls are amazing creatures whose beauty can sometimes eclipse their abilities. An example of this is that since owls have 14 neck vertebrae, compared to a humans 7, they can turn their necks 270 degrees. In addition due to the membranes in the eyes, each of an owls eyes can move independently of each other.

When I received a copy of It’s Owl Good: An Adult Coloring Book by Christina Knott it inspired me to learn more about owls, from their coloring to their hunting habits.

Crispy Green: Summer Beach Blanket Combo Giveaway

Crispy Green: Summer Beach Blanket Combo Giveaway

The beach is starting to get busy, and it is no wonder with summer just on the horizon. I live about a stones throw to the beach so when summer hits so do the people and traffic.

Often times on days I take the coast route home (which is nearly all the time) I see people there from morning-to-night. At night the one thing we see the most of is bonfires. When we sit at the stop light to make the left, often times our eyes are right wondering what is around those flickers of light.

In my opinion to have a successful beach outing there are a couple of key elements needed including a blanket and snacks! Back in July of 2015 I reviewed a company called Crispy Green and their product called Crispy Fruit.

Crispy Green has seven flavors of freeze-dried fruit including Crispy Apples, Crispy Mangoes, Crispy Asian Pears, Crispy Bananas, Crispy Cantaloupe, Crispy Pineapples and Crispy Tangerine.

One of my favorite things as a review blogger is when I company that I like expands their product lines and I have the opportunity to sample their new offerings. Many times this expansion is a good and expands upon an existing good idea.

A recent example of this is Nicks Stick’s. Nick’s Sticks already made free-range meat sticks that are a favorite with Jason. When I heard that they have also branched into the jerky world I was more that intrigued.
