Savannah Bee Company Charcoal, Propolis & Volcanic Ash Cleanser Review & Giveaway

Savannah Bee Company is the destination for specialty honeys and naturally luxurious honeybee inspired body care. 

 ​Since 2002, Savannah Bee Company has led the industry in specialty honey and beeswax-based body care.Savannah Bee’s mission is to provide pure, delicious honey and natural, luxurious hive products while educating people about the wonders of the honeybee. Emulating the symbiosis of honeybees, Savannah Bee strives to benefit everything it touches. Savannah Bee Company has been mentioned in numerous publications, including Southern Living, Marie Claire, Whole Living, Virtuoso Life, and Better Homes & Gardens. Savannah Bee Company is a 2011 winner of the prestigious sofi Award for Outstanding Classic and has been a member of the Inc. 5000, Inc. Magazine’s list of fastest-growing, privately owned companies, for the past three years.

Although all honey is created the same way, not all honey is created equal. The finest honeys in the world are gathered from a single type of flower. These honeys are called "monofloral honey" or "varietal honey." Without the influence of other flower nectars, varietal honey expresses the unique characteristics of the blossom in color, clarity, texture, flavor, and sugar composition.

Nurture your skin with the luxury of Savannah Bee Company body care products.Savannah Bee Company brings the natural healing powers of beeswax, royal jelly, and propolis from the hive to you. Formulated to be 100% natural with organic ingredients when possible, all of their body care products meet the rigorous Whole Foods/Whole Body Purity Standards. Free of any of the "Dirty Dozen" chemicals commonly found in cosmetics, their products are never tested on animals, and they are packaged to be both beautiful and recyclable. 

Savannah Bee Company and their busy bees have created a luxurious facial cleanser.  You have to check it out. It's their charcoal, propolis, & volcanic ash cleanser. It's magical!! I have always struggled with my skin. It's so frustrating getting breakouts. I like to workout which of course leaves my skin covered in sweat. I also work on a torch so I not only sweat but its very hot and drying. These conditions are all very harsh on my skin so I really need a good cleanser. I need a cleanser that will clear my pores without reeking havoc on my somewhat sensitive skin.

​Now that I have discovered Savannah Bee Company Charcoal, Propolis & Volcanic Ash Cleanser my face has cleared up and is looking so much better. It is much different from other charcoal type cleansers I have used in the past. It has a luxurious, thicker consistency. Its not all runny and water. To get a thorough cleanse I place dime size amount of the cleanser in my hand and rub it onto my face. I get it to lather up and allow it to sit until I feel a slight tingly feeling.

Letting this cleanser rest on your skin for a minute draws out dirt and oil from your pores. Once it has done it's magic I rinse it off and truly my face feels cleaner than it does with any other wash I have ever used. ​​

​What Makes Activated Charcoal So Effective                           In Skincare? Activated charcoal used in skincare products typically is made from burnt coconut shells, rye starch, or wood, and is heated until charcoal expands and creates a very porous surface. This porous quality has the power of adsorption (different from absorption).  Adsorption means substances can attract and hold thousands of times its own weight. This quality lets the charcoal act like a magnet to attract and pull dirt and excess oil from pores, then washes away as you rinse.

You can buy Savannah Bee Charcoal, Propolis & Volcanic Ash Cleanser directly off of the Savannah Bee Company website and make sure you check out the entire new facial care line!

#CareAboutYourAir ~ FreshWave

care about your air Do you know what’s in your air freshener? Likely it’s full of ingredients you can't even pronounce - Phthalates, Benzisothiazolinone, and Dialkyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate. Did you also know that most air fresheners contain ingredients that the EPA classifies as possible human carcinogens? Many such ingredients cause irritation to the eyes, skin and throat, dry skin, redness and in some cases as serious as birth defects and cancer. Do you want your family inhaling those horrible harsh chemicals? We didn’t think so. Fresh Wave® is different. Fresh Wave natural odor removing products use simple, pure and natural ingredients — water and natural extracts of lime, pine needle, aniseed, clove and cedarwood — to get rid of organic and inorganic odors. Fresh Wave is tough on odors but gentle on the environment. When you use Fresh Wave, you can rest assured that you are using a product that will remove odors without doing any harm to you or your family. We wouldn’t have it any other way. ​ Join the movement. #CareAboutYourAir Take the Pledge

Keto Krate Review & Giveaway

The BEST Monthly Subscription Box EVER.

GET YOUR KRATE

I love Keto Krate. I have said this each and every month I review for them. 
It's by far the best monthly subscription box I have ever received. 
Packed full of yummy full size products I have usually never heard of or tried. 
In this Krate I had only heard of one brand (Chocoperfection) the rest were new & exciting to try. 
Even my boyfriend enjoys the box. Since I am not a big sweets fan he usually gets all the sweets and we share the nuts and others. This month's (March) Krate contained 7 excellent products along with some discount codes.

Great way to discover new low carb treats/snacks to munch on.

ADAPTBAR is an excellent small treat that only contains 2g TOTAL CARBS and 1g NET CARBS. It's packed full of REAL ingredients and HEALTHY fats. Making this the perfect low carb snack bar. 
At Adapt Nutrition, our mission was always to create a bar extremely low in TOTAL carbs WITHOUT using fillers, preservatives or “bulking” agents. We achieved this by using ingredients of superior quality with an end result of each bar being a WHOLESOME 20 grams in size. The Adapt Bar is lighter than the typical 60 grams protein bar as it is a NUTRITIONALLY DENSE meal containing a very low 2 grams of TOTAL carbs.
Fact:The addition of bulking agents, fibre, fillers and preservatives to an Adapt Bar would certainly make it heavier and bulkier but it would also add additional UNWANTED carbs, which is not desirable, and true to the Adapt Program.

Purchase HERE

AdaptBar comes in other flavors and the company sells other low carb products.

I haven't actually made anything with Elliot's Adult Nut Butters Spicy Thai Peanut Butter, but, I do have it on next weeks menu.

Delicious! Front Porch Pecans are the perfect go to snack. 
Good on the go, sitting on your front porch, on a car trip or anytime snack. 
Great on salads or even crushed up on plain Greek yogurt. 
I think I ate the whole bag in one day. Pecans are my favorite and these were so fresh, so good and had the perfect amount of salt on them. 

In the 18th century, our ancestors settled near Hawkinsville, Georgia to plant cotton. Centuries later, in the 1970’s, John Lamar, his wife Carol, and their son Bob leased their first pecan orchard, and began building a business based on good relationships, hard work, and gritty determination.

​
You can help today. Buy lights on the Solight-Design website to give to any of their participating NGO partners and they will add another 10%. Together we can achieve 10 Million Rays of Light.

I am so I love with Solight Design. This product is awesome. It's durable, functional, light weight, fun and it's a lifesaver. Solight Design has an amazing line of solar lights.

TWILIGHT

I have been using the Twilight solar light cube. It's super cool. It comes packaged in a zip bag that's reusable so you are able to just pack it back up without ripping a box or taking up space. The Twilight is flatpackable so it lays super flat. It's just a pinch longer than my cell phone. I have a case on my phone and the Twilight truly does fold up to the same size. ​​

This inflatable solar lamp is different from other like it that I have seen because of the many color options you can buy.   ​Another feature that sets it apart is that it's self inflating. There's no need to blow it up. The Solight Twilight has two tiny holes in the

The Solight Twilight is so simple and safe to use it's perfect for every age. To charge it you just need to place it in the sunlight. To get a full charge leave it in the sun for 8 hours.  An 8 hour charge will get you 4 hours on HIGH, 6 hours on LOW and 7 hours on RED!! There is also an SOS flashing setting in case you need help.

My awesome little Twilight glows red and white but other Solight products can change all different colors.

​sides so that when you open it up, air enters through the holes and fills the lamp. The Twilight stays inflated until you squish it flat. This makes it simple to use and easy to share. Your friends and family can all use it  without needing to place their lips on a blow hole.

They even have one that changes up to 6 bright colors RED, GREEN, BLUE WHITE, YELLOW, PURPLE!!

These color changing lamps are perfect for home, camping, parties, a beach stroll and I think that would be awesome at an outdoors wedding!! 

The Solight is the perfect backpacking lantern because it requires no batteries, it's light as air, it folds up tiny and all you need to

​do is attach it to the outside of your hiking bag and it will charge all day as you hike through the sun. Then it's charged and ready for use at night when you set up camp.

Solight is a must have at home in your emergency supplies because with Solight you will always be prepared for the next power outage or natural disaster. When not in use, Solight holds a full charge for about three months. After that, up to 50% of her charge for two years.

Solight Design is a genuine, loving company that cares to make a difference in the lives of those who need. You can feel good about your purchase from Solight because a portion of all net sales is allocated to providing lights to non profits and orphanages that Solight supports.

Every country and culture has different needs and values.  In one country, or area of that country, Solight may work with organizations (NGOs) that will provide the SolarPuff™ free of charge. In another country, they may subsidize the cost of SolarPuff™ and allow the local economy to sell them at an affordable price, which in turn will allow them to make a living and add to the overall local economy at large. The end result is still the same: to provide clean, sustainable lighting to those in need.

After you have used the cleanser you will apply the toner with a cotton ball.  Once the toner dries gently smooth in the renewal serum, pat the eye creme around your eyes and then apply a thin layer of day or night creme. For extra protection against the harsh rays of the sun, the Extra Moisture day Creme is also a 20 SPF sunscreen.

The Hydrating Cleanser + Freshener is an Arbonne moisture-enriched formula that cleanses without over-drying, and hydrates skin to help it look revitalized. After cleansing your face with this gentle wash you can follow up applying either the Nurturing Day Lotion that includes an extra SPF 20 protection or the Moisturizing Night Creme.

The Arbonne FC5 line has fourteen different products. I have had the pleasure of trying four of these luxurious products. I have used the hydrating cleanser + freshener, nurturing day lotion broad spectrum SPF 20 sunscreen, moisturizing night creme and hydrating eye creme.  I am at that age where I must protect my skin and really pay attention to moisturizing. I will do almost anything to prevent crows feet and tiny wrinkles from forming around my eyes. The Arbonne FC5 Hydrating Eye Creme provides my skin with the moisture it so desperately needs. I love to apply this product after a long day on the torch. The heat from the flame is so drying I can

see tiny lines around the edges of my eyes and after using the Hydrating Eye Creme those tiny lines fade away. You can purchase the FC5 line individually or check out the two sets that are offered. The Complexion Revitalizing Set and the Complexion Perfecting Set.

The Calm Collection can also be purchased as an entire set of four or if you prefer, you can get each item individually. This collection is perfect for all skin types.

TheArbonne Calm Collection includes a Soothing Facial Serum that is lightweight and it absorbs into your skin, fortifying it with a protective moisture barrier so skin stays hydrated, while at the same time creating the perfect canvas for better product absorption of the Gentle Daily Moisturizer and Soothing Eye Gel. The serum works immediately and has long-term benefits — protecting and relieving skin sensitivities due to environmental factors.

One of my favorite collections from the Arbonne line is the Clear Future set. These products are perfect for all ages. If you are like me and struggle with adult acne at times or maybe you have a teen in your life then this is the best set for you.  Get the 4-step system, including Deep Pore Acne Cleanser, Corrective Acne Treatment Pads, Intensive Spot Treatment, and Mattifying Acne Treatment Lotion. You can buy these products individually as well. These products contain Salicylic Acid which is the acne treatment you need.  After four weeks: 84% showed a reduction in acne blemishes  75% showed visible improvement in skin redness.

Expand your line of Arbonne product by purchasing from their Bath & Body line. They have an amazing Seasource Detox Spa Collection.  With eight different items to choose from you will find everything you need to turn your bathroom into an at home spa.

You can save on the Arbonne Seasource line by purchasing a set. Dive into detoxification. This set includes the Detoxifying Rescue Wash, Foaming Sea Salt Scrub, Renewing Body Gelée, Fortifying Hair Mask, and Sea Mud Face & Body Mask. A $223 value, for $165.

Escape the chaos of your day withSeasourse Detox Spa Purifying Sea Soak. Indulge in a bath rich in mineral salts and trace elements to help cleanse and revitalize skin’s appearance while drawing out surface toxins. The key is in the spray-dried seawater, which soothes and pampers.  Pour the contents of one envelope into the bath, under warm running water. Soak for 20–30 minutes.

Westrock Coffee Company Single Serve Review & Giveaway

At Westrock Coffee, their drive is to be a catalyst for real change in the lives of farmers and their families, through honest, direct trade with transparency at every stage in the supply chain, from crop to cup. The end result is strong, sustainable growth at origin and a quality product for their customers.

​From sourcing to milling, and from exporting to roasting, Westrock offers their customers a vertically-integrated East African coffee supply chain.

Their focus is providing a spectrum of coffee to consumers ... from better than good coffee to the highest level of select premium quality coffee. This allows Westrock to help farmers at every level in East Africa.

They sellWestrock-branded coffee through retailers in the US, including Kroger, Winn-Dixie, BILO, King Soopers, Harvey's, Food Lion, Hannaford, Harps, Costco and other partners. They offer private label coffees to organizations and brands who want to provide their customers a quality coffee with an amazing story to tell. And, they provide local coffee service in Arkansas and the Dallas/Ft. Worth area.

A selection of their coffees are also available on our web site.

Westrock hopes you will join their family and learn more about the impact you can make for coffee farmers in Africa.

We live in such a busy world. Everyday is go, go, go. From one event to the next. From one sport to another. Between work, school, kids, pets and friends who has time to waste?  We multi-task and don't sleep enough and then we wake up needing a boost. Needing that perrrrfect cup of coffee.

The thing is, we need that coffee fast and most of the time we need it to go. There's rarely time to sit and drink a pot of coffee unless it's Sunday. Even then sometimes all we need is one cup. For all of these reasons and more, Westrock single serves are a staple in our home. If you live in a household like mine everyone prefers their own special blend of coffee. I personally love  all Westrock roasts. My man prefers the darkest roast he can find so Westrock Rwanda rich and robust blend is his go to.  Rwanda Select Reserve  Dark Roast captures the most desirable attributes of Rwandan coffee.

​With a full-bodied, long-lasting cup, Rwanda Select Reserve boasts the rich flavor of smoky cedar with hints of black currant. From the dry fragrance of crisp apple to the wet aroma of light lemon, the coffee is sure to delight the senses of the adventurous palate.

WESTROCK COFFEE HAS OPERATED AT ORIGIN IN RWANDA SINCE 2009, WORKING DIRECTLY WITH RWANDAN FARMERS TO BUY, MILL, PROCESS, AND SELL THESE COVETED COFFEES THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES, EUROPE, AND ASIA.

My morning love is Westrocks Meza Morning Blend. It's a medium blend that has a unique combination of flavors that revitalizes the senses. Once brewed, the initial subtle notes of fresh clove found in the dry fragrance slowly develop into a bold, nutty aroma. This exceptional mix of invigorating taste is captured as the hints of vanilla mingle with the strong flavor of brown sugar.

​ Westrock single serves are not only incredibly delicious they are easy on your pocketbook. I am so excited that these awesome boxes of Westrock Single Serve coffee cups are now available on Costco.com How cool is that?

You don't even need to leave your home. You can go directly to Costco.com, grab your Westrock coffee and have it shipped directly to your front door. Super simple and saves you a ton of time.

SHOP NOW @ Costco.com

​ ​Drinking Westrock Coffee allows you to join in their mission to offer their farmer partners sustainable trade, not aid to take care of their families. Partnership with Westrock often means that basic necessities such as healthcare, schooling and access to clean water are available to communities that grow Westrock Coffee.

American Butcher Brand Dog Treats Review & Discount Code

My dogs Jacky & Molly love getting mail. 
They love when the delivery people show up, I think they think every package I receive is for them. 
Yesterday they were right. From the American Butcher Brand the girls received a nice sized box full of goodies. 
I sat on the floor to open the box for them. Both were so excited, sniffing each and every package I took out. Molly seemed to be in heaven. Jacky never gets that excited but she was very happy to get to try some samples. 

I have been buying American Butcher Brand Products for my dogs for quite some time now. Jacky's stomach doesn't tolerate certain treats, but we found out that most of this brand is perfect for her sensitive stomach. 
Her favorite is the Super Chicken treats. I cut these down the middle and give them each one side. Jacky has never had stomach issues with these.

TPF Toys ~ Peppy Pets Review

Founded in 2007, TPF Toys has been dedicated to creating products that bring excitement to the children’s entertainment category. We distribute products in over 45 countries globally with a mission to providing quality brands for valued consumers. 

The Next Best Thing to a Real Puppy
 Peppy Pets from TPF Toys

Everyone loves a puppy!! There comes that day in our lives when your little one looks up at you and says. Can we get a puppy? Can we keep it? It followed me home!! As we all know, more often then not the answer to that question is no. I have dogs so I know how much responsibility they are. It seems like no matter how many pets we get, the kids wants more.

Peppy Pets are the perfect solution to this dilemma. You child can begin to learn what it takes to care for a pet without you taking on the chaos. Peppy Pets won't shed all over your couch or eat out of the trash. You child can take his or her Peppy Pet for a daily walk and it will follow right behind. Each Peppy Pet comes with it's own leash and collar with a bell. I love this little bell because it reminds me so much of my own dog. My dogs tags jiggle as she scurries along just like the Peppy Pets collar with bell jingles. It's super adorable!

Peppy Pets bring to life the authenticity of puppy friendship, complete with a pup that follows its owner everywhere. This cuddly plush puppy has a spring in its step and when walked by its owner, can run, jump and wag its tail like a real dog. Peppy Pets body is so soft. They are squeezable, hugable and super lovable. Peppy Pets have plastic feet so when they bounce across the ground outside they will stay nice and clean.

Peppy Pets do not require batteries at all. They have a character of their own and will follow behind your child, bouncing along with a spring in their step because they have springs built into their legs.  Peppy Pets bounce, jump and waddle as they go for “walks” with their kid owners, and turn heads as they go. 

< /div>

Peppy Pets kid powered pets are awesome! We can't wait to collect them all. They make life simple because the kids get their pets and I don't need to clean up after them or feed them. We just get to love them and walk them. Peppy Pets from TPF Toys is  available at retailers nationwide.   Ideal for children ages 4+, Peppy Pets are available in available in - soft brown, and black and white - and are available at Toys “R” Us nationwide, priced at $19.99.

Fresh Wave ~ Odor Removing Products ~ Review

I am sure I have mentioned this a few times in previous reviews and if you know me in person you have heard this too. Fresh Wave is by far the BEST odor removing product in the world. Not only does it not have a masking perfume smell, it has no smell, IT ACTUALLY WORKS. 
You can remove any odor in your home, car, life with just a few sprays. 
This stuff is awesome. 
I can't live without Fresh Wave products in my life. 
Honestly this stuff is great, once you give it a try you will NEVER go back to anything else. 

Two of my favorite Fresh Wave products are:

Fresh Wave Odor Removing Spray & Fresh Wave Odor Removing Gel

Purchase FRESH WAVE Products HERE

I have a bottle of Odor Removing Spray in EVERY room in my house. 
Bathroom, bedrooms, kitchen, living room. I even gave one to my son to take home. 
I love this stuff. 
Just one - two sprays is all you need. The odor will go away. 
From skunk smell, to garbage, pet bedding, shoes. 
ANYTHING that smells will be gone once you spray this wonderful product. 

Instant odor removal is as simple as a few spritzes! Our odor-removing Spray removes odors in seconds, leaving you with nothing but fresh air. 

​Shake. Spray. Smile. For stronger odors a few more spritzes will do the trick.  When you smell "fresh air,” it’s working.
·     Removes odors using only natural ingredients
·     No harsh chemicals or masking fragrances
·     Non-toxic
·     Spray in the air or on water-safe fabrics to remove odors immediately

---

The Odor Removing Spray is truly amazing. 

We have skunk issues, at least once a week a skunk will spray outside our home. The smell makes me sick to my stomach. Sometimes it will happen late at night when we are asleep, it of course wakes me up immediately. I keep a bottle of this spray next to my bed, just one to two sprays and the skunk smell is gone. Not just in that room. But gone completely in my house. In the past before I started using Fresh Wave products I would just deal with the skunk smell. If I used those other sprays all it would do it mask the
smell with perfume smells making the smell ever worse. 
Fresh Wave Odor Removing Spray is the ONLY odor removing spray that I use in my home. 

Upstairs sits a 15oz.  Fresh Wave Odor Removing Gel container. 
I have never been without this gel upstairs since moving into my home a little over 2 years ago. 
It's amazing, like ALL Fresh Wave products. 
Our house is old but all remodeled. We never replaced the wood flooring upstairs, just cleaned and added carpet and padding. Since upstairs gets so hot int he summer months it brings out the floor smell. We regret not tearing up the floor but at this point feel it would be so much work to go back and do it right. Instead we rely on Fresh Wave to solve our smell issue and they do. No more musty old floor smell. EVER! It doesn't matter if this room is hot or cold, you now smell nothing. Just clean. 

​odor removing gel
Have a whole room that stinks? Or a mighty powerful litter box? You’ll need our Gel. Just open the lid and remove the seal. Replace slotted lid and place gel where odors are strongest. Sniff. Smile. Repeat every 30-60 days.
​(Hint: The gel will disappear as it evaporates.)

BulliBone & Treat Trap Review

Bullibones are super tuff nylon chews flavored all the way through! Shaped with an easy-hold paw grip, your best bud can hang on and enjoy for hours!
​Available in three sizes and three flavors, Bullibones are perfect for every dog.

Order BulliBone Product Here

I have two small dogs that get really excited when packages arrive. 
Not only do they love our delivery guys, but, they seem to think that every package is for them. 
Yesterday their hopes & dreams came true. 
A box of BulliBones were delivered. I sat on the couch with the box, they both watched so patiently as I opened it up. Waiting to see what was inside possibly for them. 
Once I took the BulliBones out of the package Molly our Mini Dachshund took off with the small one, leaving the larger one for Jacky the Shih Tzu, she was not as impressed, but that is normal for Jacky. 
Molly later stole the large BulliBone for herself, she has hidden it somewhere in the yard for later use. 
The Treat Trap the girls decided to save as a Easter Gift for their cousin Benji. 

The BulliBone is a perfect way for your dog to achieve perfect dental hygiene.
Reducing tartar, plaque, the freshening of your dog’s breath and the maintaining of healthier gums.
The BulliBone is easy for your dog to hold, the bottom has an easy-hold paw pad. 
I can tell Molly really likes this feature, in her normal rolled up chewy's she tries so hard to hold it up-right with her paws, I watch her sometimes and it seems like she is putting more effort into holding the chewy then chewing on it. 

The BulliBone comes in THREE different flavors & sizes

BEEF                                   BACON                                 PEANUT BUTTER

SMALL/MEDIUM This 4 – 1/2″ long lasting nylon bone is designed for small and medium-sized dogs and puppies.

MEDIUM/LARGE Our flagship  7″ long nylon bone, made for medium and large sized dogs, started it all.

EXTRA LARGE Is your dog extra large? Our XL bone is made with a wide chew head that’s perfect for dogs with big mouths and paws.

Since all dogs chew, why not get them something safe to chew on. Instead of chewing on furniture, shoes, those not so safe rawhides get them BulliBones.
Chewing is both a need and a nuisance, chewing fills several roles for your dog’s health: it aids in good dental hygiene, eases anxiety and stress, and provides a playful outlet for your dog’s energy. …

THE TREAT TRAP
is a combination treat trapping toy and flavored nylon chew designed to keep your dog’s treat time engaging.
Because Easter is around the corner and I always send my son and his girlfriend something, I decided to save The Treat Trap for their dog Benji, he loves this kind of thing. The kids are gone most all day with college and work so Benji get's bored. The Treat Trap will be a good thing to keep him entertained, clean his teeth and give him a treat in exchange. 

Made with natural flavoring and the same safe nylon alternative as the Bullibone, chewing Treat Traps reduces tartar and plaque to freshen your dog’s breath by maintaining healthier gums, an important component of good canine dental hygiene.
TRICKY TRAPEZOIDAL SHAPE
The Treat Traps shape is designed to be challenging for your dog to flip.
ONE WAY TRAP DOOR
​The top treat hole is placed so the treat only comes out if the trap is flipped on one side. Your dog has to figure out which side to flip the trap to get the treat.

---

BulliBones are a great product for any size dog. 
Check them out, your dog will be happy you did.

New Pop Skinless Popcorn Review & Giveaway

New Pop is something totally new to me. 
I have always been a fan of popcorn, but hated the kernels that get stuck in my teeth. 
With New Pop you don't have to worry anymore, there's no kernel at all. 
Plus if you have stomach problems such as crones New Pop is popcorn friendly for you, since it has no skin. 

WHAT IS SKINLESS POPCORN?!

We start with a kernel of corn and remove the skin using a very unique (secretive!) process. The skin is the annoying part that always ends up stuck in your teeth and that you end up trying to wrestle out with your tongue for the next 2 hours. Not fun!
Once the skin is removed, the kernel is then popped under high pressure. Not heat! Using high pressure locks in all the nutrients and maintains its flavor.
Most conventional popcorn is popped using heat, salt, oils and butter.
Not New Pop! No Oil, No Salt and No Butter used here!
After our skinless kernels have popped, we add a dash of raw organic cane sugar and a dusting of natural flavors to create our different flavor varieties.

New Pop comes in 3 different flavors

SWEET CINNAMON
This high fiber snack has the perfect amount of sweetness. 
Made from Corn, Cinnamon & Raw Organic Sugarcane.... That's it...
Excellent snack when you're craving something sweet, hit's the spot.
Great anytime of the day. 
Only 32 calories for a 7 oz serving
NO BUTTER    NO SALT    NO OIL
​Just great taste

ORIGINAL
Pure popcorn taste without the salt, oil and butter
very good, very natural tasting
Perfect anytime snack. 
Only 32 calories per 7 oz servings 

Hot and Sweet
Best of both worlds
perfect for those that like a little spice in their life
Made with Corn, Red Chili Peppers and Raw Organic Sugar Cane....
That's it...
This was my favorite flavor. 
I like that one bit is sweet and the next could be spicy, you never know till you take a bit. 
Perfect snack for anytime of the day. 
Love that your hands don't get greasy or dirty. 
Great for hiking or any on the go activity.

PlayMonster ~ Wonder Crew Review

PlayMonster is a toy and game company, championing the power of play by creating quality toys and games for children, adults and families. They're the perfect combination of playful and professional, and true play experts because they understand play for ALL AGES!

PlayMonster started life as Patch Products in 1985, founded by brothers Fran and Bryce Patch. Children's puzzles were their specialty, but they quickly grew to add games and toys.
Throughout the years, they acquired other companies and expanded their product line: Smethport Specialty Co., famous for its classic toy Wooly Willy and educational Lauri brand; Onaroo, a line of clocks and night-lights known for the OK to Wake! green light; and Roominate a hands-on electronic building playset designed to inspire girls!
In 2014, the company changed ownership, which gave them greater opportunity to grow! Their continued growth led to the big name change and re-branding of the company in 2016 to better reflect their playful culture and belief in the power of play! At PlayMonster, they're proud of their history and excited about they future!

PlayMonsters newest addition to their amazing line of toys is WONDER CREW!!

Wonder Crew was created by Laurel Wider, a psychotherapist and mom, after her son came home from preschool one day and announced that “boys aren’t supposed to cry.” Frustrated by many of the messages boys were (and weren't) receiving and inspired by the way play influences child development, Wider created Wonder Crew to encourage kids to connect emotionally and be their full selves.

​Have you ever had that struggle when your son keeps taking your daughters dolls and playing with them? Then your daughter gets upset and tells your son to get his own toys and leave hers alone. I have been there, done that and I know I'm not the only one. It seems like you can hunt through toy store after toy store and scour the isles for a doll for your son, nephew or friends boy to play with. There are rows and rows of trucks, cars and little action figure but there is a huge shortage of buddies.

Let's be fair, just like your daughter loves to pretend with her doll friend your son also wants to pretend with his buddy. Well the struggle is over because now there's Wonder Crew by Play Monster. Your son can choose from the four different buddy option. He can choose the one he best identifies with or the one he falls in love with. Or better yet, collect all four!! Wonder Crew buddies come with a super fun outfit for not only the buddy but a matching on for your child too. 

​ Let's not stop there, why limit Wonder Crew to boys.....girls will love these buddies too. I myself would have totally wanted a Wonder Crew buddy as a kid. I was always cutting off my girl dolls hair and dressing them like boys in a desperate attempt to try and create male dolls. I wanted my girl dolls to have boyfriend/hubbies and due to the lack of male buddies I was forced to create my own. LOL :) Look at this handsome fellow!!! He's amazing!! He's lovable and squishable. He has a soft huggable body with vinyl doll material legs, arms and head.

Combining the adventure of an action figure with the emotional connection of a stuffed animal, 15" Wonder Crew Buddies are available now. The crew includes Will (Caucasian), Marco (Hispanic), James (African American) and Erik (Asian).

Each comes dressed in superhero gear, complete with matching mask and cape for kids.

The matching outfit for your child is thee coolest ever!!! No other male buddies that I can think of offers this feature.  This allows your lil one to truly get into action with his matching hero. Seriously....how can you pretend to be on a construction crew with your construction buddy if you don't have the proper outfit? Wonder Crew has thought of all of this. Your child will officially be a team player with the matching team clothes.

These outfits are completely interchangeable so your child can go wherever his imagination will take him. Wonder Crew also has multiple other Adventure Packs: Builder includes a construction vest, outfit and hard hat for the buddy, and a matching vest for kids. Construction pack includes outfit printed with tool belt and tractor as well as a hard hat for the buddy and kids. Explorer pack features a safari looking outfit and hat for the buddy, and a matching hat for the child and Snuggler pack is a set of pajamas for the buddy, and a blanket for kids! Each is sold separately.

Inspired by boys but truly meant for any child, Wonder Crew builds emotional intelligence, imagination, confidence, and is 100% fun! Wonder Crew is for the kind, cool and creative child - that’s what it takes to live our motto: “Go anywhere. Be anything”. You can find Wonder Crew Buddies at Target, Toys "R" Us and other awesome retailers at a totally awesome price. They have a retail price of $29.99 - $34.99 which beats the pants off of the other similar doll on the market. Wonder Crew is a fourth of the cost of it's competitor and in my honest opinion Wonder Crew is a better boy buddy. I have experienced them all and Wonder Crew is superior and all around more fun.

More buddies and adventures to come!

You can also buy Wonder Crew buddies and all the Adventure Packs directly from the Wonder Crew website:

Ancient Organics GHEE Review & (3) giveaways plus 10% off code

#EATGOODFAT

Ghee is a premium cooking oil celebrated for its taste, nutritional benefits, and medicinal qualities. Ayurveda, the ancient medical science of India, recognizes ghee as an essential part of a balanced diet, and considers it to be the best fat one can eat. Ghee is the very essence of butter; the end result of a long, slow, careful clarification process that removes all the moisture, milk solids and impurities. The absence of milk solids and water in ghee make it completely shelf stable. Ghee has one of the highest flash points (485ºF) which make this
​the best choice for high temperature cooking.

Ancient Organics makes one of the best GHEE's I have ever tried. 

I use Ghee almost daily in my cooking. 
It's so much better then butter or oils. 
With a higher flash point I can use it for so many different things. 
From frying, using in stir fry or just adding onto breads like Naan after they are cooked. 
Ancient Organics Ghee has a wonderful almost sweet taste to it. Perfect for use in just about everything you cook. 

Ancient Organics Ghee is unlike any other you will find on the market today. We take great care and consideration in the ingredient selection and preparation method. Our uncompromising commitment to quality combined with obsessive attention to detail allows for a unique hand-crafted ghee. Many of the strict protocols for authenticity are integrated into our cooking process.

• Cooking over an open flame means our batches are small (mass produced ghee is made with steam in huge kettles).
• Churned butter is critical to authentic ghee. Straus Family Creamery operates two 1950’s batch churns which are becoming increasingly rare in the butter production industry.
• Honoring the tradition of artisan ghee, our ghee is produced in a peaceful and mantra-infused kitchen.
• Our Full Moon ghee exemplifies the principles Ancient Organics was founded on. It is thought that the influence of the bright and waxing moon amplifies the elemental healing qualities and taste of ghee. This limited production ghee is only available direct order.

We make our ghee from the unique dairy of Northern California. The native wildflowers and sweet grasses of the coastal prairie provide a terroir unlike any other part of America. We are committed to sourcing our dairy from the grass fed and pastured cows of this region. We produce each and every month to highlight the changes in pasture as reflected in the cows diet and celebrate the seasonal changes in the butter and ultimately our ghee.

Roasted Cauliflower is one of yummiest things ever. I make it at least once a week. You take a whole head of cauliflower, clean off the leaves and rinse well. Pat dry with a towel. I set mine into my cast iron pan, drizzle it with  Ancient Organics Ghee, salt and pepper, sometimes I use turmeric and salt instead. Cover the whole thing with foil and place in a 400 degrees oven for about an hour. I uncover it at the end for about 25-30 minutes to let the top get brown. After taking it out of the oven I add 1-2 tablespoons more of the ghee and slice. SO GOOD! If you have never tried cauliflower this way you should. It's excellent.
