Savannah Bee: Cleanser and Bar Soap Review

Savannah Bee: Charcoal, Propolis & Volcanic Ash and Honey Lavender Soap Review + Giveaway

On April 22nd we celebrate Earth Day, and with that a little insect that makes a big impact on the environment – honey bees.

Honey is one of the longest lasting, and also versatile products that are available. One of my favorite uses of honey are in facial products and body products. The healing properties of honey are second to none and the versatility unmatched.

Savannah Bee Company is different in that they are not only making the products but also raising and caring for the bees that provide them the honey and royal jelly used.

Oogie’s Gourmet Popcorn Review

Oogie’s Gourmet Popcorn Review + Giveaway

As I have mentioned in the past we are a snack house – we love our snacks. The problem is that many times we are looking for a semi-heathy snack that we can eat without our hands being dirtied or full.

In our house, both of us spend many hours at our computers, and since we do not like to get our keyboards dirty, popcorn is often the snack that we end up choosing.

The problem is that since we eat so much popcorn, we grow tired of the flavors typically available. When I recently came across a company called Oogie’s Gourmet Popcorn and saw their collection, I was interested to give these different flavors a try.

Salba Chia: Dark Chocolate Chia Seeds Review

Salba Chia: Dark Chocolate Chia Seeds Review & Giveaway

As a review blogger I am always on the hunt for new and innovative products that combine health and sweetness. Hands down one of my favorite sweet things is Dark Chocolate. That is not to say that there is anything wrong with milk chocolate but there is something decadent and luxurious about this darker chocolate.

When I attended the Natural Products Expo in March, one of the things that I discovered were Dark Chocolate Salba Chia Seeds from Salba Smart Natural Products. I have been thinking about these ever since, and I knew that full review was needed.

Savannah Bee: Body Wash and Hydrating Hair Care Review

Savannah Bee: Orange Blossom Body Wash and Hydrating Shampoo/Conditioner Review + Giveaway

On April 22nd we celebrate Earth Day, and a little insect that makes a big impact on the environment are honey bees. From the methods of communication to the process of making honey, there is no doubt the bee is complicated and fascinating creature.

There are companies that sell honey based products but not like Savannah Bee Company. The thing that makes Savannah Bee different is that they are not only making the products but also raising and caring for the bees that provide them the honey and royal jelly used.

Namaste Foods: Brownie, Bread Crumbs and Egg Replacer Review

Namaste Foods: Dark Chocolate Brownies, Italian Herb Bread Crumbs and Egg Replacer Review and Giveaway

In the infancy of my review blogging I had the opportunity to try many good companies.

When I attended the Gluten Free and Allergen Friendly Expo in San Diego I had the opportunity to meet the people behind the company that I had the chance to review in those early days.

One of my favorite things is to see companies expand their product lines and offer a wide selection of products in their respective categories.

Namaste Foods has a line of foods that are free from the top 8 allergens typically found in other foods and contain no wheat, no gluten, no corn, no soy, no potatoes, no dairy, no casein, no peanuts or tree nuts.

Luseta Beauty: Tangle Free Argan Oil Shampoo + Conditioner Review

Luseta Beauty: Tangle Free Argan Oil Shampoo + Conditioner Review & Giveaway

Ever since I was a kid I have had issues with my hair tangling. One of my most dreaded moments was when I needed to get the tangles out of my hair. I would cry and moan and groan. There would be times that I would use a detangler, and after half the bottle my hair would be a little better than when I started.

When I saw that Luseta Beauty’s Tangle Free Argan Oil Shampoo and Conditioner I wanted to see if this would help my chronically tangles hair.

Masala Pop: Indian Spiced Popcorn Review

Masala Pop: Indian Spiced Popcorn Review + Giveaway

Often times my review items find their way to me by pure coincidence and other ones are by chance. When I heard that a company I have worked with in the past now is working with an Indian Spiced Popcorn company I was intrigued.

My sister in law is married to a French-Morrocan man, and thus my nieces and nephews are adept and used to the Indian spices. Since our household is not as familiar with these, I decided to seize on this opportunity in hopes that I would be able to recommend something yummy to my extended family. The company I was hoping to share was Masala Pop which makes an Indian inspired line of Masala popcorn’s.

Croscill: Crestwood Grey Quilt Collection Review

Croscill: Crestwod Grey Quilt Collection Review + Giveaway

If there is one thing I really love, it is a comfortable bed spread. Many years ago when I was young I would always change my comforter set. What this ultimately did was give me quite a collection of blankets and sheets for my friends to use when I hosted slumber parties.

Now that I have my own house, I am always finding the need for blankets and such. I still love to change my bed spread but it is much longer between upgrades than when I was young.

Recently I began the process of redoing our master bedrooms bedding. The process started with new pillows, than sheets and now the next element has arrived – the Croscill Crestwood Quilt with Shams.

Think Time: 2017 Journal Planner Review

Think Time: 2017 Journal Planner Review + Giveaway

Ever since I was young, I have been a planner. One of my favorite gifts were day planners and calendars. Each time I received a new planner or calendar I would spend the next couple hours making note of important birthdays, events and important school dates.

Now that I am older, I still love planners but like them to be a little more than just dates and space to write events. Ideally, a planner can help me plan, but also inspire me to think bigger, and set goals.

As the blog grows, I find my dreams growing so this year I decided that it was time I get a planner that will not only make note of dates, but also give me a place to brainstorm and dream. When I began looking for the perfect planner I came across the Think Time Journal Planner.
