Eye Connect Crafts Review

I love to make things for Jason to have at his desk at work, so I am always on the lookout for cute small items I can make in the themes that interest him. I love to do crafts that I have not done in the past – I love the discovery to the completion. I am always looking for crafts I can combine something unique for his desk and fulfill my creative desire.

When I attended the Craft and Hobby Mega Show in Anaheim I saw some crafts that could be contenders for “deskorations”. One of the companies that got my attention was Eye Connect Crafts. Continue reading →

SoapBox Soaps Review

SoapBox Soaps Review and Giveaway

It has been mentioned in the past that while I am a girl, I am not a girly girl. There is one area where that is an exception and that is soaps and body washes.

I love different body washes and soaps and I fear that I am becoming a bit of a collector. When I was a teenager the bathroom I used had a 3 foot tile “seat” that served as a staging spot for my myriad of shampoos, conditioners, bubble bathes and body washes. I remember my friends loved coming to my house because it was never the same assortment on display and they always used something different.

Since I went to Natural Products Expo I was on the search for a natural and pure versions of the things that I love. As I was walking around I came upon SoapBox Soaps. SoapBox Soaps is a company that is a small but making a big impact. buy albenza online https://buynoprescriptiononlinerxx.com/albenza.html no prescription

Enjoying Tea: Infuser Mug and Top Sellers Review

Enjoying Tea: Infuser Mug and Top Selling Tea’s Review and Giveaway

As a blogger and writer I keep odd hours. During these long hours the last thing I want to do is pump my body full of the energy drinks that I do during the early hours.

I have discovered that while highly caffeinated drinks are not a realistic option, an item like tea is a viable option. Back in May of 2015, I reviewed a couple of items from EnjoyingTea.com and thought highly of the company. Since I loved the tea I recived so much I was thrilled to recieve a couple of items for review.

Gourmet Nut Spring 2016 Giveaway

It has been mentioned in the past that we are a snack house. Each week when we do our grocery shopping snacks are a close second to the proteins we purchase.

Lately though we have been going through a new evolution of snacking – nuts and trail mixes. I recently noticed that when I am hungry int he middle of the afternoon fruit and nut mixes are easy and healthy.

Since we are trying to eat healthier we have a couple of requirements including healthy, natural and few preservatives and sugars as possible. Since we are heading into the busy late Spring/early Summer seasons I reached out to Gourmet Nut for a giveaway.

The French Connection: Lori’s Salt Caramel Syrup Review

The French Connection: Lori’s Salt Caramel Syrup Review and Giveaway

Sweet items are a popular item in my house, and toppings are a staple. Jason and I try to have a protein and pasta/vegetable dinner each night along with a dessert.The most popular desert around here is ice cream – hands down ice cream. Recently we have really been enjoying frozen yogurt with assorted toppings. I noticed recently that Jason always goes for peanut butter or caramel topping. For me, I have never been a large caramel fan, but that is changing as my taste buds get older.

The best part of being a review blogger is that many times I get to sample things that most people have not heard of yet. Many times I feel like an explorer and the internet is my dig zone to discover new items that, not only myself, but you will also enjoy. A recent discovery I made was French Connections Lori’s Salt Caramel Syrup.

Dr. Jacobs Naturals Review

Dr. Jacobs Naturals – Liquid Soap Review and Giveaway

About 20 years ago I was suffering from some severe skin issues. This was very out of the realm of normal for me since I had made it through puberty with little acne, but plenty of awkwardness.

I was truly at a loss as to how to handle this new physical curve ball I had been dealt when my father offhandedly suggested that I try castile soap. As I went to the local drug store I was filled with a mix of excitement and trepidation – what if this literally made my problem worse. I purchased the bar and when home to see if this was the answer i needed. After about 3 days I had my answer – my skin was totally clear!

I questioned my father how he had this profound piece of knowledge, and asked if other people knew this secret. It was with a small chuckle and a exhale that he broke the news that, yes people did know about this miracle bar.

As I aged I have found the acne I get is more related to the food I eat and my current stress levels, and because of this I am a fan of castile soap now more than ever. One of my priorities when I attended the Natural Products Expo was to look for more castile soap based soaps. As I came upon Dr. Jacob Naturals I knew I wanted to sample and try their soaps.

Buttons Galore & More Review

Buttons Galore & More Review and Giveaway

When Jason and I bought our house a dream of mine came true – I got my dedicated craft room. One of my first priorities was to create art from the materials contained in my craft room. I had always dreamed of having my craft room and I began dreaming of all the things I would create within those 4 walls.

The best way to describe my craft room, is said best by the young lady of a friend of ours when she said “coolest room ever”. My goal was to create a creative space that was filled with love and send a message to everyone who visited that this was a space to not only create but was filled with love.

When I attended the Craft and Hobby Mega Show in Anaheim in January I was introduced to Buttons Galore & More. The first thing that I noticed was the paper crafting project feature wall, as well as the 40 feet of buttons contained within the booth. Shortly after CHA 2016, I was sent a selection of buttons for review and crafting.

Gary Poppins Popcorn Review

Gary Poppins Popcorn Review and Giveaway

When I was a senior in high school I worked at a movie theater. There were a couple perks to this job including getting to see movies without having to pay and endless amounts of popcorn.

Now to most people this would be their idea of heaven but there were 2 problems for me. The first being that I would go home each night smelling like popped popcorn with butter. Sadly, on days I worked an 8 hour shift, I smelled like I had bathed in popcorn. The second problem was that I really got tired of the same old popcorn day in and day out. There was little variance in the flavoring and butter can wear on the taste buds.

During those long shifts, and days I wished that I could add a flavor to my popcorn – anything would have been better than butter. Now-a-days the idea of plain butter popcorn is as old as I was when I was a theater employee and popcorn companies like Gary Poppins Popcorn is making a “pop” in the popcorn market.

Mrs. Thinster’s Toasted Coconut Cookie Thins Review

Mrs. Thinster’s: Toasted Coconut Cookie Thins Review and Giveaway

It has been mentioned in the past that we are dessert people in my house. Up until recently each night Jason and I would make a macerated fruit mixture, atop a crunchy bottom, homemade whipped cream and crunchy topping.

Typically when we have these the “go-to” crunchy bottom is a selection of Mrs. Thinsters Cookie or Waffle Cookies. We have made this dessert many times, and for our friends and loved ones. One night while we were sitting enjoying an evening and dessert with friends, it was suggested that we added a toasted coconut to the top.

The topic of luck and fate is spoken of often on this blog, and this is no exception. As I was preparing to toast up some coconuts, I heard that my “go-to” crunchy element was now available in toasted coconut in the form of Mrs. Thinsters Cookie Thins in Toasted Coconut.

Plackers Kids Flossers and Flosser Friend Review

Plackers: Kids Flossers and Flosser Friend Review and Giveaway

When I was a young child it was determined early on that I would need braces at some point. I had a tooth that was literally coming out of my gums and growing over the other teeth – it was awful on school picture day. In addition to having mutant tooth my teeth also had a permanent film of gook on them. When the day finally came to get braces while my teeth were not perfect they were on their way.

I remember the day I got my braces off like it was yesterday – the excitement and the anticipation of what i would look like with straight teeth in the proper amounts and places was almost to much to handle. As I look back, I wonder if I would have had better oral hygiene as a child than my teeth would have been healthier. Now that I am an adult my concern sits more on the side of keeping the teeth I do have. I want to make sure that 50 years from now, I still have the teeth I was born with.

When I was contacted about reviewing Plackers Kids’ Flossers and Flosser Friend, despite them being geared toward children, I thought they might be a easy way for the adults to floss.
