I have always loved Nalgene water bottles and did not realize they had such an extensive line of bottles and storage containers. The also have a line of kids water bottles so there is something for everyone. They sent me a Grip 'n Gulp kids bottle to try and I love it so much. Mine came with adorable little penguins on it and it's a really pretty purple color with a

They open easily also, just unhinge the latch and press the button and your lid will pop right open.

New Year New You..... Wild Notes: Observations over time about birds and other fleeting things Paperback Book Review

Wild Notes is a very good, fast read book. 
I am usually not a fan of books like this. I read more romance, mystery and odd books. Never would I of picked up a book like Wild Notes,
so I was happy that I got the chance to read and review. 
It makes me realize there is so much more out there to read and a book like
Wild Notes was an excellent read. 
The short but very descriptive book is a great way to loose yourself in the short descriptive pages. 
You can read each story one at a time or loose yourself like I did and read the whole book in one day. 
Great book for relaxing
and you don't have to be a bird lover to read this book
but it will change the way you think about bird watching and birds. 

Each short story in this book captures a Chicago-area bird watcher's thoughts as he looks for a glimpses of life on the wing. Fast-flying, if sometimes-simplistic, pieces that celebrate patient observation and the beauty of birds.

​​Wild Notes chronicles several year's worth of daily observations written in a logbook style by a regular guy who happens to be a bird watcher, among other things. In the tradition of wilderness junkies like Ed Abbey, Annie Dillard and even that odd old hermit, Thoreau, the author is hooked on the elemental kick that starts with an easy-going interest in birds and goes beyond to an interest in all fleeting things. Bird watching, once considered a gentle hobby, is now known to be a wilderness adventure enjoyed by rough and ready men and women of all ages. Hard-muscled, hard-bitten, bug-bitten explorers who bushwhack trackless wilds. Or ordinary folk who stalk neighborhood nature trails. Whichever kind you are, you're out to find animals that are not only accessible, but entirely wild. They could be avian migrants newly arrived from a South American jungle to spend summer with you. Or winter vagrants that flew across a thousand-mile tundra to visit your neck of the woods. Birds, like uninhibited thoughts, go where they want. From them you can acquire a "life list" of sightings, but you can also get insights that would never have occurred if you hadn't lost yourself in the woods for a bit to stalk things that fly in and out of your life. Throughout "Wild Notes," the date shown on the left page indicates a true moment in time. The right page explains what happened then: what was seen, thought about and what was worth sharing with you.

Each page starts with a date. There are 166 pages total. 
The Author is: 
Mike Lubow he is a former VP Creative Director of a multi-national ad agency and founder of a mid-sized Chicago ad agency. (Actually, not mid-sized. Smallish, really, but big of heart). He’s written a popular column called “Got a Minute” for the Chicago Tribune, and has published fiction and non-fiction in a variety of national magazines from the literary to the glossy, some in Australia, New Zealand and several European countries. One of his stories was translated into four other languages. His newspaper columns have bee
n collected in the book “In a Chicago Minute,” and ten of his published short stories have been collected in the book “Paper and Ink.” Both books are available online or through bookstores. He’s also creator of the online magazine “Two-Fisted Birdwatcher.” The author lives in the Chicago area. He’s a husband, father, grandfather, and could’ve played pro basketball if he were only a little taller.
Give this book a try, it was something I would of normally never read,
​but happy I was given the chance. 
Excellent Read!

Ted’s passionate about sharing the world of bees with others and introducing new honeybee products to market.

My skin is not chalky or nearly as itchy as it was before. ​My boyfriend had even commented that it felt like I had shaved my legs really well. hahaha I told him it was because I had applied the Savannah Bee Body Butter after I shaved and that's what made my legs feel so silky smooth. I really love the fact that the product is free of parabens, preservatives and petroleum-derived ingredients. Best of all they do not do animal testing and their products are environmentally friendly and made in the USA.
I was completely surprised to see that Savannah Bee Company makes so many different products. They have an entire line of beauty/health products and gifts as well as honey. It has really opened my eyes to the wide variety of products that include honey. Savannah Bee Company has a body care line that includes everything from lotions and balms to body wash and body butter. They were so kind to send me a full sized Royal Jelly Body Butter  -Tupelo Honey- to try for myself. It comes in an adorable little yellow box making it a perfect item to give as a gift. The body butter is in a thick glass jar with a easy to open screw top lid. It smells absolutely delicious and spreads onto your skin like butter. No pun intended. It is truly a creamy silky body butter that leaves your skin super soft and clean. It's not greasy like some lotions and creams, it just kind of melts into your skin and conditions it perfectly. My skin has been so dry from this winter weather and it gets itchy so I have been applying this body butter each morning and night and have noticed a huge difference. 
Picture

You will also find an entire line of lip care on the website. Savannah Bee Company http://savannahbee.com/ Natural and Organic Beeswax Lip Balms, Lip Gloss and Beeswax Lip Tints go on smooth and silky, softened with the oils of coconut, olive, cocoa, and hemp seed. Ingredients from the hive like propolis, beeswax, royal jelly, and honey make their lip care products nourishing, protective and absolutely delicious. Savannah Bee lip care products are like their body butter and never tested on animals, nor do they contain synthetic scents, flavors, parabens, or petroleum-base products. Using their hand care products you can soften and cleanse your hands with all-natural, beeswax-based products for your skin. Hands deserve extra care for all the work they do. Treat your hands to luxurious Certified Organic Beeswax Hand and Nail Salve to soften and nourish nails and cuticles. Top it all off by indulging your skin with the softening smoothness of their all natural Beeswax Hand Cream!
Of course when you think of Savannah Bee Company the first thing, and most delicious thing that comes to mind is of course their beautiful, tasty, sweet and sticky honey. Yuuuuuuuuuuumy!!! They have an extremely large variety of this scrumptious nature made treat. Their Everyday Honey line redefines honey like only Savannah Bee can. For each Everyday Honey, we carefully choose our 100% pure varietal honeys based on the sweetness, texture and flavor profile that suits its intended use. The label on each member of the Everyday family indicates the best way to incorporate the luscious flavor and undisputed health benefits of honey into everyday preparations. Enjoy their Honey for the Grill, Honey for Cheese, and Honey for Tea "Every Day in Every Way."

They have an entire line of Artisanal Honey too......Honey is like a fine wine that is created from flowers instead of grapes. The term "varietal honey" refers to the honey gathered from a single type of blossom. Each type of nectar has its own flavor and sugar composition depending on the flower that produces it, therefore the honey reflects the unique taste of the bloom. Savannah Bee Company is the leader in honey purity standards. Any honey poured by Savannah Bee Company as a specialty varietal honey must have a minimum of 80% pollen count. This ensures that the honey exhibits the best flavor and texture possible from the blossom crop. We take pride in our honeys' flavor and purity, so we don't process, over-filter, or add anything at all. They pour the best of the best of artisan Tupelo Honey, Sourwood Honey, Orange Blossom Honey, Wildflower Honey and Acacia Honey harvests. These artisanal honeys are beautiful gifts for any sweet occasion, as well as a delicious and nutritious treat for any pantry.

One of my personal favorite ways to purchase and enjoy honey is buying the raw honeycomb which you can get through Savannah Bee Company website. Raw Honeycomb is a true delicacy of nature. The hexagonal cells that create the comb are made by bees from beeswax. 550 bees have to visit 2 million flower blossoms to create 1 pound of honey, and then must consume 6 pounds of honey to generate 1 pound of beeswax. 
Beeswax is an amazing substance that is entirely edible and contains a variety of healing and allergy-soothing properties. Into each beeswax cell, bees deposit the flower nectar they have gathered from thousands of flowers. The bees then stand over the cell and fan their wings to evaporate the water from the nectar, leaving behind a rich, syrupy, golden substance that we know as honey. The cell is capped with a thin layer of beeswax and reserved as food supply for the colony. Enjoy Raw Honeycomb with slices of tart green apple and a wedge of salty artisan sharp cheddar for a delicious appetizer or dessert.

  Start off the New Year with something NEW to you. Trusted Health Products has a wonderful 
Amazingly Beautiful – Moisturizers and Revitalizers
that works great in adding much needed moisture to your winter dry skin. 
I have been using this wonderful product for a little over two weeks now.
Not only does it smell AMAZINGLY Wonderful, but it makes my skin feel great. 
Amazingly Beautiful Moisturizing Body Serum
keeps your skin nourished, refreshed, moist, smooth, and looking years younger.
I use it after my shower, morning and night. A little goes a long ways and I apply this all over my body. 
My skin is always dry, winter wrecks my skin, especially my legs. So I have been adding 2 drops of this wonderful moisturizer in the palm of my hand and applying those 2 drops to each leg. 

Just sort of patting it in, you don't even have to rub it in. 
Then I wait a few minutes for it to soak into my legs. 
Instantly they are moist, look great and don't itch (from the dryness) this is by far been
the best moisturizer I have ever used. 
Plus, it smells like fresh oranges, amazingly fresh and soothing. 
******************************************************************
The only thing I would like different with Amazingly Beautiful - Moisturizing Body Serum is if it was in a spray bottle type application. This product comes a nice brown glass bottle with a tilt drop opening, You just shake it into your hand. If it were a spray bottle it would be easier to apply all over the body. Since I mainly use this on my legs the spray top would be most helpful. 
Picture

New Year New You...... Rainbow Light Integrative Health Therapies Review & Giveaway

Picture

RAINBOW LIGHT The #1 Most Trusted Natural Vitamin Brand*

In the past I was using Rainbow Light's  Lacto-Zyme Dairy-Eze™ to help with my lactose problem. They were the best things I have even found for that issue. I decided I wanted to try other products from Rainbow Light and hoped that I would get the chance to share them with my viewers. 
I was and still am always on the lookout for natural things to take for things like allergies, lactose issues, headaches, aches and pains, etc. When I found Rainbow Light a few years ago
​ I was very happy with the results I was getting and happy with the ingredients. 
Picture

Rainbow Light began in 1981 by offering consumers a nutritious spirulina supplement and went on to become the first-ever food-based supplement brand. During nutritional content testing procedures in those early days, our researchers discovered that spirulina, when exposed to a light spectrophotometer, refracted all the colors of the rainbow.
In addition to their simple beauty, these rainbow colors revealed the full spectrum of nutritional constituents present in spirulina. Inspired by the power of nature revealed in this nourishing food base, our brand name was born! Since then, Rainbow Light has become a natural products leader and today, certified organic spirulina is still our primary food base. For 30 years, our targeted, food-based supplements have been delivering measurable health benefits and positive improvements in daily energy and vitality you can feel.

Zen Therapy™ (Formerly 3 Way Stress Management)

Is one of the products Rainbow Light sent me to try. Who doesn't need some Zen in their life. I was very happy to try it. The box states: Promotes cam and relaxation, Supports nervous system response. 
I knew during the holidays and New Year this is something I needed in my life. 
So I started taking it at the first sign of stress, last week. Holidays are not my favorite time of the year. I have many reason, but I won't bore you all with my stories. Just know that 1 tablet on good days, 2 tablets on bad was the perfect thing to get me relaxed and less stressed. 
It wasn't that yuck relaxation when you feel like a zombie and can't even function, this was just a peace of mind relaxation. I was still able to function and move on with my day, getting done what needed to be done. I just got it done in a better way. Less stressful, more pleasant and no tears. 
Picture

A naturally effective integrative health therapy designed to promote calm and relaxation, while supporting nervous system response. Promote calm and relaxation with a traditional blend of soothing valerian and California poppy, plus nutrients to replenish and support a healthy response to stress.*
Support nervous system response featuring a powerful combination of eleuthero and schisandra, to help the body adapt to stressors, with added high-potency B-Complex to promote nervous system health.*
Side benefits not side effects: Restore total-body wellness, safe for everyday use and gentle on the stomach. Suggested Usage: Take 1-3 tablets at the first signs of stress. Preferably taken with meals.
Vegan. Contains NO: gluten, wheat, milk, tree nuts, peanuts, eggs, fish, shellfish and sugar.

Bright Energy™ (Formerly Rhodiola Recharge)

For me Bright Energy worked perfect. I took it along with Zen Therapy. The box states: Recharge physical & mental energy, Balance daily stress effects. 
Bright Energy does a good job at making you feel refreshed and ready to start a new day. I took one pill daily for the last 2 weeks. I took mine in the morning with my breakfast. Overall I noticed my day went brighter and less dragged on. I had more energy to make a full day complete. My mind wasn't off wondering. I was more alert. I was very happy with the results iv'e seen using these two pills. 
Picture

Bright Energy™ offers a natural, adaptogenic herbal blend that helps recharge energy and adrenal function with rhodiola, American ginseng, Asian ginseng, eleuthero and ashwagandha. This vegan and vegetarian formula also contains supportive amino acids and co-enzymate B vitamins that balance cortisol and promote a healthy stress response. *Rainbow Light's Herbal IQ™ Guarantee, means its products have been thoroughly reviewed by qualified herbalists and backed by the latest science. Extracts are identity verified and tested for purity, efficacy and safety. Formulated by Christopher Hobbs, PhD, and manufactured in the USA. When taken as directed, Bright Energy™ can help replenish and energize while supporting healthy adrenal balance.

Counter Attack™

This stuff works great when you have sinus issues. Winter time is usually the best time for me when it comes to allergies. They are usually non-existent. But this winter has been horrible. I was a mess a few weeks ago. Then I remembered I had Rainbow Light Counter Attack to take. This stuff kicked my allergies butt. I was able to function without being in a cloud all day long. The best part is it's all natural so I know what was going into my body. 
Picture

Counter Attack™ provides 3,899 mg of herbal strength for powerful immune system health. Designed to be taken at the first sign of seasonal discomfort, this herbal blend contains andrographis and berberine to mobilize the body's acute response along with a fast-acting, stimulant-free Clear Relief Complex traditionally used to ease sinus and respiratory discomfort.

Balanced formulas address underlying concerns while keeping your body in balance, creating side benefits...not side effects...even with long-term use. Integrative science combines cutting-edge clinical research with powerful ingredients and traditional therapies using time-honored botanicals.

I am really impressed with the Purity and Quality of all the Rainbow Light products I tried. 
Each pill that I tried worked for it's specific issue and worked fast. 
I was happy that what I was taking was natural and I could actually read the ingredients
and I knew what most all were,

Holiday Gift Giving Review ~ Maximum Living, MineralRich Formula

Maximum Living® high-quality supplements will help you Maximize Your Life® through optimal health and well being.

I am always very iffy to try products like this, I am scared of the taste, that's all, but after just giving them a try I am presently surprised. I don't know why I do this each and every time I get a product I am not sure about to review. 

Once again I was wrong... when it comes to Maximum Living's MineralRich Formula, it's a little different tasting, but not bad at all. I just take it with water, the first few days I added it to juice, now I am fine with just water. I take this in the morning, before I eat my breakfast. Since taking this daily I have noticed three things the most, I am less tired, my nails are growing like crazy and my skin is less day. So something I was lacking is in this product. My skin has never felt better and during the cold winter when dry skin is usually a huge issue for me, this is great. 

Just add 1/2 tsp. daily to your water, juice or smoothie.  Or you can buy the non concentrate, you take 2 tablespoons of it and follow with a cup of water, this one has a cherry taste.  Make sure you start off with eating a meal or snack after. I did notice I got a little sick feeling the first few days. I am always like that though with vitamins.
After I eat though that yuck feeling goes away. 
Right away you will feel an increasing with energy. Like I said I noticed within a few days my nails were growing and my skin became less dry too. 

MineralRich Concentrate nutritionally supports the health of bones, muscles, teeth, hair, skin and nails, and contains a boost of vitamins B12 and Biotin. The concentrate contains 70+ ionic macro and trace minerals with a 1000 mcg boost of Methylcobalamin B-12, 200 mcg of Biotin, and 250 mg of Magnesium
and it's Gluten Free

  Start the New Year recharged and re-energized with a daily dose of Maximum Living MineralRich or MineralRich Concentrate – two healthful trace mineral supplements that help sustain energy levels naturally throughout the day. An easy enhancement to your juice, water or smoothie, MineralRich and its new concentrated formulation, MineralRich Concentrate (pictured right), bring a rapidly absorbing liquid boost of more than 70 essential pH-balancing macro and trace minerals, along with 1,000 mcg of B-12 (as methylcobalamin), biotin and magnesium.
 
            In addition to helping procure post-holiday vitality, the MineralRich formulas also offer a broad range of nutritional support for the body’s muscles, bones, teeth, hair, skin and nails.
“For those in search of a New Year’s resolution that’s both reasonable to keep and offers an extremely beneficial return, a daily commitment to MineralRich won’t be regrettable,” said Kelly Coppel, marketing communications manager for Maximum Living. “It’s a solid investment in the health and happiness of your body.” Maximum Living’s original and beloved MineralRich is available in a 32-ounce bottle (32 servings; a one-month supply) for $35.15 MSRP. New MineralRich Concentrate, which is free of any preservatives or sweeteners, is available in a four-ounce dropper bottle (48 servings; a six-week supply) for $38.95 MSRP. Founded in 1992, Maximum Living Quality Supplements was created to meet an identified need in the market for high-quality mineral supplements. 
 
After observing that more of his medical practice patients suffered from magnesium and trace mineral deficiencies than calcium, Dr. Ross Gordon, (D.O, M.D.), along with Maureen Kennedy Salaman and a team of experts, formulated the company’s first product, MineralRich®. It was an immediate success and gained notable recognition in the nutritional supplement marketplace. As the company has grown, it’s added a wide selection of other health-promoting supplements, all of which are proudly made in the USA utilizing the finest raw materials and most cutting-edge manufacturing processes.

When I started writing this review I gave myself another week to continue trying MineralRich® to see how I continued to feel and if it did anything else for me. 
As some of you know I have thyroid cancer and when my thyroid was removed so did the piece that makes calcium in my body. On a daily basis I take 4-8 calcium pills along with 3 times a day prescription medication that absorbs that calcium in my body. I do forget my in the day pills and calcium from time to time (when I get busy) and I do notice that I forgot when my lips start to get numb, if I let it go too long my face, especially around my eyes get very numb too. 
Now that I am taking MineralRich® daily, I have been able to skip 1-2 doses of calcium  day and only take the prescription pill twice a day. To most people this means nothing, to me this is huge. I have been dealing with my calcium issues for 6 years now and will continue for the rest of my life. To be able to take something out of my daily routine is great. I also feel better. I am VERY impressed with the results MineralRich® has given me. I will continue to use it well after this review is done. They made a client for life. 
My energy levels are up, my skin looks great, my nails are growing and strong, my hair looks wonderful and my calcium isn't out of wack. I couldn't be happier. 
EXCELLENT must have product for you or someone you love.

Holiday Gift Giving Review ~ Five Star Christmas Tree Co.

The last time I had a fresh cut Christmas Tree in my home was forever ago. I can't even remember when. 
You have no idea how excited I was when I got the chance to review
Five Star Christmas Tree Co.'s Fresh Cut Christmas Tree. 
This is going to be so exciting. My newly remodeled home with  the most beautiful Christmas Tree in it. 
Five Star Christmas Tree Co. is the LARGEST national Christmas delivery service in the country.
Headquartered in Spanish Fork, Utah, we first recognized the need for Christmas tree delivery several years ago and have been working hard to streamline the process ever since. 
We realize there are many people who just don’t have the time, means or vehicle to go pick out a tree and haul it home each year; however, these obstacles shouldn’t keep a family or business from enjoying the glow a real tree brings - thus the beginning of Five Star Christmas Tree Co.

Five Star is here to turn your holiday season from ordinary to extraordinary. Why should you have to go to the local tree lot and come home with a mediocre tree?  We want you to have a GREAT tree. 
​Let us start a new tradition with your family!

I have a vehicle to go pick out my own fresh cut tree, but I tried that last year....The trees aren't fresh cut, they have been cut, packaged up with a ton of other trees then shipped to where I live (Arizona). The are no longer in my opinion fresh cut trees. Most were already dried out and the needles were very sharp. Most of the places I went to you didn't even get to see the tree you were buying, they had 1-2 open and set up then you just told them the height and they gave you a tree. No thanks! If I am spending money on something I wanted to see it first.  Even though I didn't get to see my tree first with Five Star Christmas Tree Co. I was still confident that I was getting a beautiful fresh tree. (from comments I had read) So with the convenience, excellent customer service and highest quality trees I had read about I was more then happy with ordering a tree online instead of getting it from my local store. 

Today I came home from work, to find my Five Star Christmas Tree Co. Tree waiting for me out front my house. I had bought a tree stand last week in anticipation of the tree arrival. 
Let me show you some pictures of the way the tree arrived then below I will tell you what I thought. 

I love almost everything about my Five Star Christmas Tree, minus the top and the area's that have no branches. 
Now I know this is a real tree, so it won't be 100% perfect. I can deal with the spots where there is missing branches, I just turned the biggest open spot to the back and the other to the side and added more ornaments to that area. The top of the tree just sort of ended, there is really no defined top. So my star just sits there on the flat top of the tree. 
The other issue is, it's messy. Not after I got it open and shook out, but before. So a hint after you receive your Five Star Christmas Tree, OPEN IT OUTSIDE, if you can. Shake it out really good, I even had small wood clippings ( I assume from cutting the tree down) all over my floor. Very happy I have hardwood floors and not carpet and that the needles on this tree are very soft. But it was a huge mess. 
Overall a very nice tree. Fresh, soft needles, very full and it came to my door, I just ordered online. As far as the quality, I give it a 8 out of 10. If the top had a actual tree top I would of given it a 10 out of 10. I can live with the bare spots, no tree is perfect unless it's fake, but even then it's not perfect. 
I love the smell of the tree, a very fresh pine scent that smells wonderful. 
You can see a little of the pine needle mess on the floor, this is nothing compared to what the floor looked like before I got the vacuum out. I literally filled the whole vacuum with needles. 

I took the 3 pictures to show different sides of the tree. You can't really see the bare spots, good thing, but that top is till bothering me. Maybe I will look for a different tree topper that takes up more room,
then it won't look so flat on top. 

Not only does Five Star Christmas Tree Co. sell Christmas Tree's, but they also sell Wreaths and Accessories. 
The Wreaths aren't just for Christmas, they have them for Spring, Summer, Fall & Holiday.

There are many to choose from under each category. All are beautiful and would make wonderful gifts.. 
Plus you can have it delivered right to their front door. 
They also have lots of Accessories for your tree. 
How tall will my tree be?
We have three sizes of Fraser Firs this year. A 5-6 foot, a 6-7 foot and a 7-8 foot. They all have a very thick, full base and a nice limb for your tree topper. We can't specify whether your tree will be at the smaller size of the size range or the taller size, or somewhere in between.  Keep in mind that the height is measured from the bottom of the stump to the very top of the tree topper limb.  If you're having a hard time choosing between two sizes you may want to opt for the larger size.

How does your program work?
It couldn't be easier! We have two ordering seasons.  If you place your order before November 20th you can qualify for the Five Star hand delivery and your delivery will take place the week of November 30th.  If you place your order after November 20th then your tree will be delivered via FedEx Ground 6-10 days after order is placed.  Follow these simple steps to place your order.

To see more go to the FAQ page HERE

Overall I am very happy with my Five Star Christmas Tree Co. Tree. 
I like that I just had to place an order online and the tree came to me. 
I really like the looks of my tree, minus the top
​I am still not happy with, but my star helps hide it. 
If you don't have a way to get a real tree too you or just want the convenience of ordering one online and having it delivered to your door, check out Five Star Christmas Tree Co. it's not too late to place an order.

Holiday Gift Giving Review ~ CardNinja

CardNinja is super cool. 
You can now carry what you really need while running, hiking, every day use, in your pocket or purse. Just about everywhere. Think about it, we carry so much with us, but do we really need it. I went to clean out my purse the other day, to switch from my summer to winter color purse. I had so much stuff in my wallet alone. I didn't need more then half of it. What was I thinking lugging all this stuff around. 
So I cleaned it all out. Installed my new CardNinja to the back of my iPhone and now my purse weighs next to nothing. I really only needed 2 credit cards and some cash. The rest of the credit cards I was lugging around I don't even use. All those store savings/club cards I installed the apps in my phone. That just took away 5 cards total. So now not only is my purse cleaner and less bulky but it's lighter and now my life seems so much more organized. 

You ALWAYS have your phone with you. If you have to run up to the store, what's the first thing you grab. PHONE, car keys. So why not make it simpler. Add the CardNinja to the back of your phone and your ready to go. You can add a little or allot. This things great. It stretches and snaps back with things are taken out. You can't overstretch and it won't loose it's firmness to keep things in place. 

Going to the gym and need your gym card and maybe some cash to get something to drink, just take your phone (so you can listen to music) and the extras can be stowed away on the back. You can even slide a car or locker key in the back. So you are pretty much hands free. 
Going out and taking your smaller purse. Just throw your id, credit card and
some cash in your CardNinja and your ready to go
Perfect for men. Now all they need is their phone. No more bulky wallets and phone in their back pockets. I know my phone has been using the CardNinja for some time now. He is not one to carry a wallet. He used to just throw a credit card, id and cash in his pocket. But after loosing them a few times he realized it was either a wallet or something else. He found CardNinja online and has been using the black one for quiet some time now. He loves it and I didn't even realize it was the same brand as I was reviewing till he noticed mine on my phone. 
The company that was smart and makes the CardNinja is called CUBI. 
BASED IN SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA, THE CUBI TEAM IS COMMITTED TO HELPING MEN, WOMEN, STUDENTS AND KIDS FREE THEMSELVES FROM BULKY WALLETS AND BULGING PURSES.

WE'RE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE CARDNINJA. WE KNOW THAT ONCE YOU TRY IT, YOU'LL NEVER WANT TO BE WITHOUT IT AGAIN.

Enjoying the relaxing power of coloring

I think this is an awesome gift for yourself or someone that loves to color, relax or needs something calming in their life. It's a good deal for what you get. Each page is a full size sheet of paper. Hard card stock type paper, so you won't tear the pages when taking them out of the book and the pens don't really bleed through. 
This is so relaxing, so much fun and you can make some beautiful prints to frame and add your own personal touch to your home, bedroom or office. 

Below is one print I colored. I used the pens and colored pencils included in my introductory set plus some pens I already had. It was so relaxing and the few days I took to color what you see below I slept better at night. Allowing my mind and brain to calm down in the evening allowed for a really good nights sleep for me.  

Holiday Gift Giving Review ~ Sugar & Spice Market Giveaway

Picture

I try my best to eat Gluten Free. I get horrible migraines and stomach issues. But when I eat gluten free I don't have those issues at all. 
There's allot of choices out there for gluten free products, but not all are good. Most gluten free baking mixes I have bought are really dense and lack flavor. Making you not want to eat them or wasting your money. I was so happy when I came across Sugar & Spice Market
They sell a wide range for Gluten Free Baking Mixes and Flour.
The mixes sure aren't short on taste, texture and quality. 
I was lucky enough to try the 
​Gluten Free Brownie Mix
Below I will tell you all about it. 

Delicious Gluten Free
your whole family can enjoy!

When your craving something chocolate and only eat gluten free you can't just stop in your local store and pick something up or grab something out of your cupboard. 
But if you keep some Sugar & Spice Market Gluten Free Brownie Mix on hand you can whip up a batch of yummy brownies in no time. 
I liked these brownies so much and I am not a big sweets eater, that I forgot to take a picture of the end results. But believe me they were yummy. My boyfriend who usually will never eat anything gluten free, he says it all tastes gross, loved these. He said they were moist, flavorful and delicious. I have to agree with him. 
Picture

These rich, fudgy, and moist brownies are irresistible.
This 22.4oz package makes a “family size”, 13″x9″ pan of brownies.
All you need to add is eggs, butter and water. 
If you eat/cook gluten free you know that eggs and butter are both gluten free products.
​So this mix and finished product is 100% gluten free. 

After baked the bag makes about 22 brownies that are 152 calories each. 
But 152 yummy calories, so well worth it =)

Holiday Gift Giving Review ~ Biggest Little Popcorn Co. Rhode Island Review & Giveaway

Picture

Biggest Little Popcorn Co Rhode Island has the most delicious English Butter Toffee Baked PopCorn that is air popped and baked in a process that sets them apart. The PopCorn is light, crunchy and tender. They achieve this by cooking and baking in small batches in their Warren, Rhode Island kitchen.  Using only the finest ingredients; sweet cream butter, pure cane sugar, non - GMO PopCorn, the best oils and spices to achieve this oh so scrumptious PopCorn.
Picture

Biggest Little Popcorn Company was so kind to have sent me 5 of their different flavors to sample. They sent me 5 bags of their delicious flavors. I received Season's English Spice, Sweet Masala Curry, Rhode Island Coffee Milk, Mexican Vanilla and Original Butter. My very favorite is Mexican Vanilla......yummy toffee and hint of delicious. All the flavors are very subtle so even the Coffee Milk flavor is not over powering. Its a very wonderful mixture of sweet butter toffee with a hint of coffee aftertaste.

Picture

The Season's English Spice taste like the holidays. It is a delicious blend of spice, cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger. I taste the apple and so it reminds me of warm cinnamon apple cider or pie. 

​If you are a lover of Curry then your favorite will be the Sweet Masala Curry for sure. You will taste the sweet butter toffee at first and then get a spicy curry aftertaste.

My next favorite by far is Original Butter. I could eat the entire bag of this popcorn. Holy cow it is soooooo good. I love that Biggest Little Popcorn Company coats each perfectly popped kernel with their English Butter Toffee and then adds the different flavors on top to enhance it.

The flavors I did not get to try are Lime Light, Traditional Banana Toffee, Orangetine and Hot Cinnamon. They are special orders and each requires a minimum of 14oz per order.

The price of these heavenly bags of popcorn are $5 for 3.33oz, $7.50 for 5oz, $10.50 for 7oz and $20 for 14oz. If you order in advanced they also do special orders for parties.

Aurorae's collection of eco-friendly aromatherapy candles come with the intention of helping you concentrate on a particular state of mind while meditating or creating a calm personal space in your bedroom, bathroom, office or living space. Light the candle, breathe, and focus with an open mind. 

This candle will actually work in a small room with just the lid off. I had mine sitting in the bathroom before I lit it for two days. I could smell the wonderful lavender scent every time I walked into the bathroom. 
I finally lite it the other day. Now I can smell it not only in the bathroom but in the living room as well. 

This candle is not too overwhelming. It's also non-toxic.

First I have to start off by saying I really like the way they package the products. 
Your name or the name of the person you get this for will be printed on the front of the bottles. Making it a very personalized gift. Second, it's a really good deal for an excellent product, that works. 

I was nervous about when I wanted to start using my morning and night serums. The directions state that it may cause your face to break out a bit in the beginning. Since holidays were approaching and I was going to see family I haven't seen in some time I didn't want my face looking bad. But I went ahead and gave it a shot, since I had a good 2 plus weeks to go. 
To my surprise I had no breakouts. Only wonderful beautiful healthy looking skin. 

No matter if you have dry, oily or combination skin, this will work for you. 
Just rub into your face 2-3 drops morning and evening. You will wonder like I did about putting oil on your face, especially if you have oily skin. But don't panic it won't make your face oilier. It actually evens it out and helps dissolves the oils in your skin. Leaving you with a beautiful. softer, smoother face. 
This serum is AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL

Step 1 – APPLY

  • Your skin recognizes Amazingly Beautiful as food and therefore will be hungry for it and may require more drops initially.
  • Place 2 to 3 drops in the palm of your hand each morning (AM Moisturizer) and evening (PM Revitalizer) and, using your middle finger, gently spread over your entire face including neck and forehead in a circular motion. Do not rub in. (You will need more than 2-3 drops for the first few weeks.)
  • If there is any excess after 3 minutes, blot your face with a tissue or damp cloth. There shouldn’t be any excess, so if this happens you may be using too much product.
  • When used as a make-up remover, place 1-2 drops on a Q-tip or cloth and wipe away make up.

Step 2 – DETOX

Your skin is probably used to name-brand products made from creams, chemicals, and other toxic ingredients that give your skin results, but by shocking your skin into submission.

If you’ve used makeup or commercial skin care products for any length of time, your skin is probably clogged and burdened with the build-up of excess oils and environmental junk that comes from the ingredients in these products. Amazingly Beautiful takes about 30 days to detoxify your skin from these chemicals and ingredients so that your skin can thrive naturally. Results vary for each person.

What to expect during detoxification…

Within the first 30 days of using Amazingly Beautiful, you may experience a brief blemish breakout. This typically lasts from 1-2 days, possibly up to a week. The botanical oils in Amazingly Beautiful gently and naturally remove toxins and build up that have accumulated over time from the use of chemical-laden skincare products and cosmetics. If a breakout does occur, this is actually a really good sign, as your skin will be ridding itself of toxins that have built up over time. It’s important not to get discouraged during this brief detoxifying period, because once it ends, your skin will emerge with a more beautiful, young looking, radiant appearance. Results vary for each person.

Step 3 – THRIVEWhile most people experience noticeable changes within a few days, even greater benefits are achieved in the first 3 months, and then with continued use thereafter. Amazingly Beautiful will take the place of anti-aging creams, cleansers firming creams, exfoliaters, moisturizers, day/night creams, make-up removers, body lotions, nutrient pacts and more.

Holiday Gift Giving Review ~ Tastee Apple Review & 10% off on Cyber Monday 11/30/15 ONLY

Oh my!
These were SO good. 

I received 3 YUMMY apples covered in the most wonderful sweets with a wonderful crisp apple in the middle. 
This family owned business knows that they're doing. 
I am a huge fan of apples and when you add a not too sweet but wonderful/interesting topping you get one of the BEST apples you could ever have. 
Perfectly-ripe apples are “sticked” in made-from-scratch, small-batch, kettle-cooked caramel or a candy coating. After the apples cool, they are rolled in gooey toppings like milk, dark or white chocolate and then rolled in fresh peanuts, pecans, cookies, or pretzels. The candy and caramel apples are then carefully packaged, stored and shipped to stores throughout the country. The company continues to grow and create new and delicious, apple treats each year to satisfy both new and loyal customers.
Tastee Apple’s extensive quality control process is very hands on and eyes on. This is how we ensure that no apple earns the Tastee label unless it as fresh and perfect as it can be for your complete enjoyment and 100% satisfaction (our guarantee). From our state-of-the-art processing facilities in Ohio, we have been crafting the #1 selling Caramel Apple for four decades—that’s about 290 million apples sold! But it’s quality that we are most concerned with. That’s why each and every Tastee Apple has not only a generous coating of our mouth-watering caramel and lots of other complimentary confections, but the most important ingredient of all: family pride.
Step 1: Selecting
Because it would be virtually impossible to self-grow all of the sizes and types of apples we depend upon to make the best quality products, we partner with some of the country’s finest and most reputable apple growers. We are so choosy about the apples we pick, our experts reject about ten percent of the apples that arrive at our facilities. These apples aren’t wasted, however; they find a good home with other companies who find them marketable for their purposes or need raw apples for juice or cider. 

Step 2: Testing

A trained eye can tell a lot of about an apple just by feeling and looking at it, including type, size, and potential damage or decay. Whereas most—if not all—of our competitors are satisfied to stop there, Tastee goes a critical step further. That last thing we want is for our customers to bite into an apple that’s not perfect. By that, we mean either hard (not ripe enough) or mushy (overripe)! So we measure the firmness of our fruit to determine which meet apples meet our crispness requirements and which do not. Only those that pass go on to Step 3.
Step 3: Cleansing
Tastee Apple recognizes that reducing food safety risks is a responsibility shared by everyone involved in the food system. We take our responsibilities in this area very seriously. In addition to keeping our facilities immaculate, we follow a very thorough process to ensure that the fruit we use is clean. This includes water washing and brushing, as well as sanitizing, while demonstrating the utmost diligence to prevent bruising and maintain the integrity of the fruit.
Step 4: Decorating
Next, our shiny clean perfectly ripe apples are “sticked” and readied for the decorating process. You probably already know that every Tastee Apple is dipped in one very special ingredient: our made-from-scratch, small-batch, kettle-cooked caramel. After the caramel-enrobed apple cools, we take the next steps, depending on the type of apple we are creating for our discerning customers. Our Fantasy Gourmet Apples get rolled in lots of goodies, like milk and white chocolate morsels and fresh peanuts or pecans. Our Super Premium Gourmet Apples, after being coated with caramel, are also hand-dipped in premium milk, dark or white chocolate, then tumbled in yummy nuts, chocolate morsels or pretzels. After that, they are drizzled in more chocolate. Our traditional Caramel Apples are generously dressed, too, to enable customers to enjoy four great varieties (Caramel, Candy, Turtle, and Jelly, as well as Plain Caramel).
Step 5: Packing
Each finished Tastee Apple is carefully packaged for optimal product freshness and protection. The packaging design of our Fantasy Gourmet Apples and Super Premium Gourmet Apples are pretty enough to gift!
Step 6: Shipping
After spending a very short time in our 45-degree warehouse, Tastee Apples are on their way to your local grocery store, in refrigerated trucks, usually arriving in 24 hours or less! When refrigerated at home after purchase, Tastee Fantasy Gourmet Apples can last up to 45 days; Tastee Super Premium Gourmet Apples can last up to 30 days; Tastee Caramel Apples can last up to two weeks.
Step 7: Enjoying
The best step of all, we leave completely up to you!

Fantasy Gourmet White Pretzel Wonder is the first Tastee Apple I tried. It was so good. I am a big fan of pretzels. 
So you take this wonderful and crisp green apple, cover it in caramel, white chocolate and crushed pretzels. So delicious. Since the apple is so big you could cut this up and serve it at a  party.
You would get 8 or more slices to share. But I was not about to share.
I did have to share with my boyfriend, but he didn't like the white chocolate very much so gave me most of his half. 
I savored this and made it last 2 days. 
Excellent mix of not too sweet toppings on a crisp apple. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hmmm. Not sure if you want something smooth, healthy, sweet, or crunchy?
Tastees Fantasy Gourmet White Pretzel Wonder Apples have you covered!
With its pretty bow and fancy appearance, you may want to wait and admire your Fantasy Gourmet Apple before eating it. But don’t wait too long! Someone may not be able to resist it, and if that happens, you will miss out big time. Why?
We start with a jumbo apple that is guaranteed fresh and crispy then coat it in our delicious, small-batch, handmade caramel. After that cools, we roll it in mini-white chocolate morsels AND crunchy, pretzel pieces.
It’s a taste sensation of crispy toppings, smooth caramel and a sweet apple all rolled together! 
Whether you give these apples as gifts, share them with friends and family members or keep them all to yourself, get ready for pure enjoyment and satisfaction!
I am not a fan of cookie. Too sweet for me, so this one I let my boyfriend have, the whole thing!
I was surprised he wanted it, since he didn't like the white chocolate on the pretzel apple. I think it just wasn't sweet enough for him. He ate this whole Fantasy Gourmet Cookies ‘N Cream Apple after dinner. 
I took one small slice, remember you do need to slice these and before you do that they need to sit out for a bit or you won't be able to slice through them.  It was good but a little too sweet for me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Crunchy cookies, a creamy white-chocolate coating, smooth caramel and a crisp apple on a stick… all wrapped up in a bow. Whats not to love?
If you are celebrating a special occasion, or just want to savor a delicious treat, Tastee’s Fantasy Gourmet Cookies ‘N Cream Caramel Apples are the perfect treat.
First, we pick perfectly ripe, crisp apples that go through our 7-step, rating process. Then, we coat the apples in our home-made caramel made in small, kettle-cooked batches. Next, we add a special, white-chocolate coating and then dip the apple in chocolate cookie-crumbs. For a final touch, we add a big bow and carefully pack the apple in our unique packaging to keep it fresh and protected during shipping.
If you want something a little different, these 8 or 9 ounce Cookies ‘N Cream apples offer just the right amount of sweetness accompanied by a crisp, healthy apple. They make great gifts and are the perfect snack any time!
YUMMY!
Fantasy Gourmet Double Chocolate Delight
This apple is sweet, you can't sit and eat the whole thing at once. 
This one is perfect for a few people. Perfect for your next holiday party. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you looking for the perfect gift or a nice, chocolate break for yourself?
Let us introduce you to our Fantasy Gourmet Double Chocolate Apples.
More than just chocolate, this tasty treat-on-a-stick offers a combination of caramel,
white and dark chocolate and crunch!
The perfect gift. This chocolate apple is wrapped in a bow and ready to eat. We start with a crisp apple guaranteed fresh. Then we coat it in our special kettle cooked caramel. When it is cooled we dip the entire apple in dark chocolate and then drizzle white chocolate over the top.
The apple looks absolutely delicious, and tastes even better when you bite into it!
Now, are you ready to treat yourself to some chocolaty goodness?
Jelly Apples
This is a smaller red apple, not as crisp as the others but still very good. 
It has a totally different texture and taste. I LOVE coconut. I wish this was on the big green apples. 
It would of been my favorite. 
The outside is covered in a soft caramel with yummy flaked coconut. This apple you can just eat off the stick. I did cut mine up so I could share, but ended up getting the whole thing to myself. Was so excited. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Have you ever had a jelly apple?
While it may sound strange to many of you, this is a well-known treat on the East Coast of the United States.
Jelly apples have a misleading name as they do not contain jelly, rather a soft caramel like shell. Jelly apples will surprise you and here’s why.
You bite into the apple expecting a crisp taste, instead your teeth sink into a gooey caramel with a sweet candy flavor. The coconut topping adds a crunchy texture and combines with the flavor of the fresh apple underneath.
Even if you don’t like candy apples or coconut, you may like this treat because the flavors combine together to create a unique taste sensation unlike anything else.
Jelly Apples Do Not Contain Jelly!
A popular, Coney Island seaside-treat, we received many requests to make these jelly apples as they were simply unavailable. Because of this, we conducted research and tested many different flavors and consistencies in 1980 to create our unique recipe for jelly apples that we sell today.
After selecting apples through our 7-step rating process which is backed by our SQF certification, we add our family-recipe, jelly-coating that is scratch-made and kettle-cooked. Then, we roll the fruit in a fresh, coconut topping. There is no jelly or jam in the apple-coating!
The jelly apples have an unexpected consistency and delicious, sweet taste the whole family will enjoy.
Want to try something different and surprise your friends with an unexpected, tasty (and healthy) treat?
Tastee apples would make for a perfect holiday gift giving idea. 
Or serve them at your next holiday party. 
You get 3 Fantasy Gourmet apples for $24.95
​(4 flavors to choose from)
each apple comes individually wrapped 
so this makes 3 individual gifts. 
Perfect for neighbors, teachers, mailman, or just about anyone. 
The smaller caramel apples (comes in 5 different styles/flavors) are only
$24.95 a dozen, 12 gifts you get out of this one.

These come in 4 separate flavors. 

Holiday Gift Giving Review ~ Milk Magic Review & Giveaway.... Got Milk?

Milk Magic is the healthy way to make milk fun. 
I am not a milk drinker at all. I do drink soy or rice milk from time to time, but I never really liked the taste of it. 
Now that I have Milk Magic, the soy and rice milk are good to drink. 
With just a few squirts of Milk Magics Liquid Infusion for Milk or the cool Milk Flavoring Straws you can transform milk/soy or rice milk from blah to WOW!

BLUE RASPBERRY

I thought this would be gross, just the thought of blue milk sounded gross to me. 
I was wrong!
It was really good, the best part is you add as much or as little as you want. Making the milk sweeter with the more you add. The recommended is 1 squeeze for a 8 oz glass of milk. I start with 1/2 a squeeze, for most all the flavors that was the perfect amount for me. The blue raspberry tastes just like it sounds, blue raspberry. I'm an adult and like it, so just think how much kids would enjoy this sweet raspberry milk. The best part is this adds no additional calories to your cup of milk. Plus it's low in sugar and naturally flavored.

I received two other flavors not listed on the website, Cappuccino and Chocolate Candy Cane. 
I use the Chocolate Candy Candy with a cup of hot chocolate. Just be careful since it's hot and your sitting out of a straw, but it turns an ordinary cup of chocolate into extraordinary. 
The Cappuccino is excellent too. 
Just pour a cup of milk/soy milk or any sort of milk you like. 
Add a got milk? straw and sip. 
No need to cut the ends, just start sipping. The small beads inside the straw will melt when the milk passes by. 
This does not change the color of your milk, the
flavor goes right into your mouth from the straw never into your cup. 

These would be perfect for your kids school lunches.
Especially if they aren't big milk drinkers. 
They will surly drink milk now.

Holiday Gift Giving Review ~ Hang-O-Matic 

This is so cool. I wish I had this when I was decorating the house after our remodel. 
It would of come in handy. 
But at least now when I decide to hang something new I have it. 
Hang-O-Matic would make a perfect housewarming gift. 
It's so easy to use. 
Just 3 simple steps

Align two marking points
Level and press on the wall
Use nail, screw or anchor
STEP 1

Align two marking points
First, use Hang-O-Matic’s built-in sliding anchors to measure the distance between two holes or hangers on the back of any item.
STEP 2

Level and press on the wall
​Second, use the built in level bubble to level Hang-O-Matic on the wall. With a firm press on both ends, Hang-O-Matic makes two perfect
​marks on the wall.
STEP 3

Use nail, screw or anchor
Then, use any hardware, any size to hang it perfect, every time.
It truly is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
No more crooked pictures. 
The Hang-O-Matic has a triangle that leaves dimples in  your wall to indicate exactly where the nails/anchors should be placed. This makes hanging a picture so easy. It will always be even since there's a built in level. 
You can measure up to 6 feet with the Hang-O-Matic
Made of high grade plastic that can be collapsed down to nine inches for easy storage and it's even pocket sized. 
The perfect thing is no pencil is needed. This really helps so your not trying to fumble
around with the third hand you don't have. 

Great DIY interior home gift for pretty much anyone. Would make for a perfect stocking stuffer. 

Our Story
Before the creation of the Hang-O-Matic, it was nearly impossible to hang a picture or a shelf on the wall perfectly straight.
One day, Karina was left in charge of decorating her home office and decided to hang a shelf on the wall. After leaving multiple holes in the wall and not getting the nails to match up with the key holes on the back of the shelf, she and her husband Jared were both frustrated. Not only did they have to take multiple trips to the hardware store, but they then needed to patch and repaint the wall to get it ready to try hanging the shelf again. Luckily, Jared took over and successfully hung it in one try.
After the shelf was up, Karina began decorating and put her irreplaceable snow globe on the shelf-surface—she received it from her in-laws, and they customized it to play their wedding song from the 70’s—needless to say it held a lot of sentimental value. Before she could finish decorating, the snow globe fell, shattered to pieces, and water spilled everywhere. They didn’t understand what had gone wrong, as the shelf appeared to be straight. They had to make yet another trip to the hardware store to purchase a level and quickly realized that the shelf was off by just a fraction of an inch.
That was when they thought that there had to be a better way.
The Hang-O-Matic can be purchased online HERE for $14.95 plus shipping or

I have seen the Hang-O-Matic at my local hardware store.
