Belvoir Fruit Farms

Image
Belvoir Fruit Farms sent me over 4 bottles of their amazing drinks! 2 of Elderflower Lemonade and 2 Ginger Beer.                                                                     I am a HUGE lemonade fan, especially now that it's spring/almost summer. This Elderflower Lemonade is delicious. The Elderflower gives the lemonade a very sweet, crisp, clean, and slightly floral flavor. It's a unique flavor that is absolutely perfect for spring and summer time. I also love that they bottle them in a wine bottles. The gentle bubbling affect makes this my new favorite drink! A few years ago I tried a Moscow mule for the fist time and I fell in love! Ginger Beer is one of my favorite drinks of all time. I've been alcohol free now for over a year. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 2 years now and as soon as we started trying, I cut out alcohol. Sooooo, I became inventive and started making virgin Moscow mules for myself. Sprite, ginger beer, and loads

Saffron Road Review

Image
Saffron Road sent me over a ton of goodies to review for you guys. 3 bags of crunchy chickpeas, 3 bags of chips, and 2 different sauces.                                                                 These crunchy chickpeas are my new favorite snacks! The falafel flavor is by far my favorite flavor of the 3. I am someone who needs texture when snacking so having a healthy, flavorful, crunchy snack makes a HUGE difference. The 3 of these are all amazing. I love that they offer sweet and savory options as well! The sauces.. These are AMAZING! I made the coconut curry one the night I received this. I cooked up some chicken breasts and added some thin spaghetti noodles to complete the dish. It tasted like I was at a Thai restaurant. The Korean Stir Fry sauce is equally as delicious. I made something very similar to the photo on the package. Steak strips, carrots, broccoli, and the sauce, topped on a bed of rice. It was so dang good! And the chips. Like I mentione

Safe Catch Tuna Review

Image
Safe Catch sent me over some tuna to review for you guys. They sent me a 12 pack of 3oz pouches and 6 5oz cans.                                                                   For those of you who didn't know, most tuna or fish companies do not test all fish that goes through their facilities. Meaning, fish with high levels of mercury can slip through and get processed and sold to you. Safe Catch only uses sustainably caught seafood. They also test EVERY single fish for mercury and only buy the fish that meet their strict standards. Not a single company besides Safe Catch does this! Safe Catch also hand cuts and hand pack and slow cook solid tuna steaks and salmon fillets to seal in all the nutrients and flavor. Safe Catch also makes seafood without fillers or additives.  When you buy their seafood, they also send you a broachers packed with helpful information as to why their seafood is superior to others. They explain that testing every fish is very

EarthKind Review

Image
Earth Kind sent me over 4 different Stay Away products to review for you guys. Stay Away Mice, Moths, Ants, and Spiders.                                                                           I was skeptical when I first saw these. I didn't think these tiny little boxes could really work... Boy was I wrong! These work GREAT! We put these out in our shed and in our garage where we have issues. We don't have issues with bugs or mice in our house. We normally get a decent amount of mice in our back shed and since putting this out there, we haven't had any! I am a HUGE fan of these! I will definitely be purchasing these in the future!  Disclosure: I received one or more products for the exchange for my honest opinion.

Googly Eyes Game Review

Image
Goliath Games sent me over the game googly eyes to review for you guys.                                                                               I played this with my 7 year old cousin and we had a hoot. The game has glasses with 3 different lenses. Easy, medium, and hard, You place the lenses in the glasses then you have to try to draw a picture and have the other players playing guess what it is... Seems simple enough, right? This game is challenging! I had a heck of time playing this game, which is the point. Both of us were laughing so hard at each others drawings.  Goliath Games has a HUGE list of games available. I have tried close to a dozen games and I have loved every one of them!

The Spiritual Bath Review and Giveaway

Image
The Spiritual Bath set me over one of their lavender boxes to review for you guys and hokey petes guys, it's amazing!                                                               The box comes neatly packaged. Unfortunately one of my glass candle holders was shattered but I do not blame that on Spiritual Bath at all, I blame the people who were handling the package. Other than that, everything arrived perfectly just like pictured on their website. I mean come on.... How stinking cute!!! This box smells AMAZING and just smelling the box relaxed me. I love baths and I try to use aromatherapy items whenever I shower. I suffer with anxiety and aromatherapy truly does make a huge difference!  These bath fizzies are so cute and smell amazing! I did this and a little of the bath salts of my first bath and it made my entire bathroom smell SO good! The picture above as well as the 2 pictures below are 3 different "words of wisdom". I will share the h

The Spice Lab Review

Image
The Spice Lab sent me their taste of America collection. In the box was 4 different things. Chicago Chop, Key West Seasoning, Southern Charm, and Everything + More.                                                                           Chicago Chop is a blend of Hudson Valley Salt, black pepper, dried garlic and onion, white pepper, ginger, brown sugar, hickory smoke, and corn starch. This has been my go to for chicken and pork! The flavors are perfect and they are all seasonings I normally use anyways just combined to make my life easier! The Key West Seasoning has Hudson Valley salt, sugar, citric acid, dried garlic, coriander, dried onion, ginger, spices, turmeric, green chives, and lemon oil. We are big fish fans in my house. We eat fish at least once a week. We have been using this on all of our fish lately and it seriously is a game changer. Southern Charm is salt, smoked paprika, dried garlic, black pepper, dried onion, cayenne pepper, spices, and cumin. This

Gramma In A Box

Image
It's time for another  Gramma in a Box review! This months box was spring/Easter themed. As always I do this box with my 7 year old cousin. She knows that every month she's going to decorate cookies and LOVES watching Gramma Terry on Instagram to see how she decorates her cookies. She normally tries to make a cookie or 2 the same way Gramma Terry does.                                                                       I very well could be the worst at taking pictures of us actually making the desserts. We are always so focused on what we are doing that I forget to take pics. But I always remember to take after shots. :) The picture above is all of the delicious goodies that we made. Marshmallow flowers, bird nests with jelly beans, and of course, cookies. These little flowers are so cute and easy to make. You melt the melting candies, put a dollop down, an m&m for the center, lolly pop stick, and marshmallows. My cousin grace loved this one!  The c

Stay N Eat Plate Review

Image
Stay N Eat Plate sent me over one of their 7.5inch plates to review for you guys.                                                                         I received the Harmony Green plate. This plate is double sided. One side has 3 sections and the other side is a basic plate. One side is non-skid and sloped with a side scoop wall. The other side is divided with a spill guard and suction. Simply pressing the center of the divided plate to make the plate stay. Life the edge to take it away. This plate is dishwasher safe on the top rack but is not microwave safe. Both my husband and I love this plate. We have lots of little cousins and the worlds most adorable nephew who come over for sleep overs and it's nice to have toddler/kid plates that are easy for them to use. This makes the toddlers unable to lift and throw the plate and it helps them eat more independently. Stay N Eat has a wide range of colors and they also have a bigger size plate.  I would love to have

Everlasting Memories Review

Image
Everlasting Memories let me pick out an item to review for you guys. I picked the Silver Forever Cross Cremation Jewelry Necklace.                                                                         How stunning is this? The pictures truly do not do it justice! I don't have any remains to put into the necklace which is the purpose but I think the necklace is gorgeous just as a plain cross. I do plan on keeping all of the items to put remains into the necklace eventually but for now I will continue to wear this as an every day necklace. I think cremation jewelry is such a clever idea and super special. Being able to wear a loved one and hold them close is a priceless thing. Everlasting Memories has so many things to pick from. They have necklaces, rings, bracelets, and so much more!  Not only do they make stunning pieces of jewelry but they also ship your items REALLY quickly which is a wonderful thing considering what they sell. I highly recommend Everlastin

Nadine West Review

Image
Nadine West was so kind and sent me over one of their boxes filled with goodies that they picked out for me based on my personal profile. For those of you who don't know about Nadine West, you answer some questions about your fashion preferences and then every month they pick out clothes and accessories that they think you will like. All you pay for are the items you decide to keep and shipping. They send a shipping label with your box so you can send back any items you didn't like or fit. All pieces are priced well between $10-$30 I've seen a few services like this and always was disappointed, so if im being honest, I didn't have high hopes for Nadine West. I was expecting to like maybe 1 item and dislike the rest... Boy was I wrong! I loved EVERYTHING and everything fit me perfectly!                                                                         So I made outfits out of the pieces so not all items pictured are from the box. The top picture is a wh

Thirty-One Bags Review

Image
Thirty-One bags was very kind and sent me over 2 different bags to review for you guys, and boy oh boy, are these beautiful!                                                                   This is the Away for the Weekender bag in the print Tropical Twist. I decided to get this bag personalized with a navy blue S on it which is the first initial in my last name. This is the perfect travel bag! both my husband and I can fit all of our things in this for an overnight. I love that it comes with the handles as well as the long strap to carry over your shoulder.  I am a bag junkie. I hoard them and use them for everything! Bags that are big enough to fit both my husband and I's things but small enough that I don't feel like im lugging around a suitcase is a win in my book. Plus, look at how gorgeous this print is! This is the large utility tote in the print Saltwater Shells. This is the PERFECT beach bag! Not just because of the print, but because of it's siz

Sweet Neighbors Come In All Colors

Image
Sweet Neighbors sent me over their new book "Sweet Neighbors Come In All Colors"                                                                           This book is so cute and has such a positive meaning! The book is beautifully illustrated with bright, colorful pictures that will grab the attention of all little ones! The book goes through multiple things that we are all different at. Including our shape, size, color, and more. It's done in a light hearted way that still gets the message across. I also love that this book was inspired by the song "sweet neighbors come in all colors" written back in 2000.  Disclosure: I received one or more products for the exchange for my honest opinion.

Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 Review

Image
Fujifilm   was SO kind and sent me over one of their lime green instax mini 9 cameras to review for you guys.                                                                             I didn't get to pick the color, but if I was given the choice, I would have picked this lime green color. Needless to say, I was very excited when I opened this up! Instax Mini 9 is a modern day polaroid.  I love using this for my scrapbook. They are the perfect size. I love that they are small enough that multiple pictures can be used on one page and they are big enough that you can see details.  Each pack of film comes with 2 10 rolls so you get 20 pictures per box of film. I love how affordable the camera is ($50) and the film ($15) I highly recommend this camera to everyone. If you are a young kid who teenager looking to have a camera of your own or an adult making scrapbooks, you won't regret this! Disclosure: I received one or more products for the exchange for my hones

Java Melts Review

Image
Java Melts sent me over 4 different flavors of their JavaMelts. Caramel, French Vanilla, Mocha, and Hazelnut.                                                                     JavaMelts are made with 5/6g of real sugar. They are non-dairy and only 20 calories each. They are shelf stable for 24 months but for optimal aroma and taste, use by 12 months. JavaMelts are gluten free, vegan, dairy/lactose free, trandsfat free, non-GMO, and have no artificial flavors. Each one is individually wrapped for portability and convenience.  I am a HUGE coffee fanatic! Javamelts are simple and easy to use. You drop 1 to 2 in an 8oz cop of coffee, tea, or cappuccino. Use half of that for Espresso, stir well and enjoy. Dairy can be added if desired.  My personal favorite is the Hazelnut flavor. It tastes better to me than traditional hazelnut creamer!

Infinite CBD Review

Image
Infinite CBD sent me over 4 different products to review for you guys. I never really knew much about CBD oil until I had a family member start using it. The results were amazing! The facts supporting CBD oil and other CBD products is outstanding and blows my mind. CBD can be used for SO many different things!                                                                               Freezing point CBD topical cream. It is 250mg CBD and is a natural pain relief with a cooling effect. Some other facts about this product. It is non-psychoactive, hemp-derived, made with coconut oil, 99%+ CBD isolate, anti-inflammatory properties, natural ingredients, cooling effect, fast acting, and moisturizing. Simply apply desired amount to sore muscles or inflamed areas. Massage area until thoroughly absorbed into the skin and repeat as necessary. Next is the CBD dropper.
