Baked Holiday Treats and Delicious Gifts from Dancing Deer Baking Co. + a Giveaway
Sometimes gift giving can be an emotional rollercoaster. There are many things to consider such as the type of git, the recipient and the message behind the gift. Recently my husband started a new job and with the holidays are approaching we are already thinking of gift giving to a couple of co-workers that have made the transition.
Since we are still getting to know these people so I have started looking for gifts that would be appropriate yet thoughtful. Earlier in the year I did a review for Dancing Deer Baking Co, and as it happens they also have a wide selection of baked treats that would make great gifts!
Zakia’s Morocco: Moroccan Hammam Home Spa Kit and Shea Butter – Review & Giveaway
There is nothing like the spa experience, the feeling of being freshed and ready for what ever comes next. The downside to spa days is the cost, often times they are expensive and once they are over, they are over.
One of the best gift I ever received was a “spa at home kit” which brought the spa experience home. I love trying new spa treatments, and giving myself an excuse to decompress without feeling guilty. When I received an email about a traditional Moroccan Home Spa Kit from Zakia’s Morocco, I knew I wanted to give it a try.
Heart Monitoring with the AliveCor: Kardia Mobile EKG Monitor
A couple of months ago I took my father in for a fairly routine surgery. I was suppose to drop him off, and hours later pick him up. Instead a mere minutes after dropping him off I was getting a call that a cardiologist needed to speak to me immediately and I had a decision to make.
As it turned out, as they were completing this “routine” surgery, my father passed a clot and had a heart attack on the table. As I would later hear he thought it was a severe acid reflux until it was not going away. I was lucky, since he was on the table, they were able to do everything they needed.
As we would learn, the clot traveled to an artery that happened to be clogged, and since he was pumped with drugs to break up the clot, that is what happened when it hit that clog. Here is the issue – he never knew he had an artery that was 99% clogged.
When the dust settled, and stints put in to improve blood flow, the questions began. Ever a diligent man, he went for his yearly testing and listened to the doctors instructions, but we quickly realized this was not enough, he needed to take hold of his heart health.
When I was recently approached AliveCor makers of the Kardia Mobile the timing could not have been more perfect and more timely.

Orivet: Feline DNA Testing Review & a Giveaway
There is no doubt that Maggee chose us, when we went into the room to “get to know”: her she jumped in my lap and then my husbands. We took that as a very definite move towards he choosing us.
Not a lot was known about our girl, we know she was shuttled between homes due to issues beyond her control, and had a litter of kittens. We both love our girl so much, we want to know more about her including her health and hereditary things that can affect her.
When I had the opportunity to get her DNA tested by Orivet I was super excited to glean a little more about a creature that I really know nothing about.
Marlo’s Bakeshop: Gluten-Free Banana Bread Soft-Baked Biscotti Review + Giveaway
Confession time – I love bread. While I love all kinds of bread, banana bread has always been the top of the list as my favorite. The day I learned I could make my own banana bread was a revelation, and no doubt changed my life. One of my favorite times to have a slice of banana bread is with a cup of tea, so when I learned that there was a biscotti version from Marlo’s Bakeshop of my beloved bread, I had to try it.
Diamond Dotz Diamond Embroidery Facet Art Kit: Sweet Treats Review + a Giveaway
I have always been into crafting and creating something that I can add to my home with pride knowing I am the one who created the item. Generally I have stuck to a couple crafts including knitting, cross stitching and regular stitching, latch hook and scrapbooking.
A couple of months ago I was surfing around Instagram and saw a new type of craft available, called Diamond Dotz. The basic idea was the there was a group of symbols that correlated to a number and color of dotz. Once placed on the adhesive surface they would stick and then together create a beautiful image.The technique is refered to as a Diamond Facet Art Kit
I reached out to Needleart World to see about getting a kit to do a review and they were generous to send me “Sweet Treats” for review, and I have never been more excited to step outside my craft comfort zone.
