April 3, 2013 By Leave a Comment

I received my first Conscious Box and I have to say, I LOVE IT and not just because it’s made from recycled material and veggie ink.

The first thing that I tried was fantastic, and of course, it’s healthy, green and feeding kids across the globe! Every Bar bought = 1 meal for a hungry child! How can you not love that? It’s called Two Degrees , it’s vegan and full of nutrition. I am going to be buying regularly these for sure (saw these at Whole Foods the other day).

Also in my wonderful box was Smarty Pants Vitamins. These vitamins have it all , taste not fructose corn syrup or dyes and every vitamin your kids truly needs. They also come in grown up version and can I just say, Gummy vitamins have never tasted so good. Really? no joke these taste amazing for vitamins and I have had some nasty ones (Omega gummy anything usually taste like fishy feet)

Also included in this box was:

  • Kelapo Coconut oil sample ( if your not using this at home you should)
  • Agro Labs Wheatgrass Boost
  • Two Organic Stash Very Berry Tea Bags
  • Two Nektar All Natural Honey Crystals

Printcopia Review

March 27, 2013 By Leave a Comment

I would love to introduce you to Printcopia. Now they sent me this review a while ago, and I deeply apologize for the delay in presenting this to you. However, with Easter and Mother’s Day and Father’s Day around the corner, I had to make sure you saw this review!

The canvas Prints are of high quality and very durable. I have seen other prints at Drug Stores that were not near this quality. I was very impressed with the Canvas despite the size revival. 8×10 includes the wrap around which I was unaware of but again I am still very pleased with this product.

See for yourself how my Canvas Turned out in the video below.

With PrintCopia you can get Canvas Prints, Prints, Basic Photos, Acrylic Prints, Framed Prints, Panoramic Prints and Even Decal, the posiblities are endless. So be sure to check them out to start you amazing project and have the best gifts around!

Butterfly Kiss and Rose’ n’ Blum’ Wine Review

February 15, 2013 By 3 Comments

When I was asked to do a wine review I was elated because I absolutely love wines! Miscatto’s Reds, Pinot’s, Chard’s, Champagnes, Mead, Homemade Wine, Specialty Wine you name it I love it.  Typically, I stay away from the bitter stuff unless I am eating something that pairs well with it. You get the picture I love wine!

About the wines: In November, Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines announced a new wine brand called Butterfly Kiss™. The wine celebrates taking time to embrace moments of well-deserved ‘me’ time. For women who are juggling work, family and chores, the holiday season makes it even more challenging to fit in time for themselves. Butterfly Kiss encourages women to take a moment to unwind and enjoy time with friends and family.

Butterfly Kiss wines feature four lively, bright varietals:

  • PINOT GRIGIO – a delicate, light wine showing kisses of citrus and ripe pear.
  • PINK PINOT GRIGIO – a rosé-styled wine showing lively flavors of strawberry shortcake and bright citrus.
  • CHARDONNAY – features lush, tropical fruit flavors, kissed by a touch of vanilla.
  • MOSCATO – a lovely, well-balanced sweet white wine loaded with stone fruit and citrus.

To learn more about the new Butterfly Kiss wines, visit http://www.butterflykisswines.com/

These light and floral wines are the perfect complement for wine cocktails, a popular commodity this holiday season. Here are some Butterfly Kiss inspired wine cocktail recipes that are the perfect way to sweeten up your holiday party.

Drink Recipes

Lively Up Hi-Res
3 oz Butterfly Kiss™ Pink Pinot Grigio
0.5 oz Black raspberry liqueur
1.5 oz Sour mix
Splash of lemon-lime soda
Garnish: Cherry
 Build in a wine glass over ice. Stir.
 
Wonder Kiss Hi-Res
 3 oz Butterfly Kiss™ Chardonnay
0.5 Smirnoff® vanilla flavored vodka
1 oz Sour mix
Splash of cola
Garnish: Cherry
Build in a wine glass over ice. Stir.

 

My Review:

Allow me first to introduce you to Butterfly Kiss, I tried this wine in two flavors a 2011 Pink Pinot and a 2010 Chardonnay.

Let’s start with the Chardonnay, for me this wine had a slight lemon smell and had a backside hint of tart after you swallowed. At 13.5% You can  enjoy a glass happily.

As for the Pink Pinot, I was really happy with it as well! It was sweet, light, softer than a regular Pinot, not bitter and was overall a great drinking wine at 13%. The pinot would have paired well with fish, or even dessert.

Now, we get to Rose’N’ Blum and  I also got to try two flavors in this wine as well! A 2011 Pink Moscatto and 2011 Pinot.

The Moscatto smelled very sweet as a Moscatto should but was not overbearing. It was very fruity, sweet and left an overall sweet aftertaste that made you desire more! This wine is dangerously delicious and is the perfect dessert, drinking wine at 10.5%.

The Pinot was not very aromatic, and dryer than the Butterfly Pink Pinot. It had a slight bite to it but would make a great dinner wine paired with a fish, poultry or light pasta dish. The Pinot left a sweet pleasant aftertaste that invited another sip. At. 12.5% you can pleasantly relax with this glass of wine!

Overall these wines were fabulous the bottles were incredibly tasty. These are perfect for a girls night, or a casual get together and would make any table come together. Of course I have my favorite, but I would enjoy them all again!

Check out their cute commercial!!

Amazon Prime has me HOOKED!!

February 13, 2013 By Leave a Comment

I am getting right to the heart of my  bliss right now, I LOVE Amazon Prime and here is why:

Three undeniable reasons why I Subscribe to Amazon Prime!

1.Thousands of Free ebooks to read.

2. Thousands of Free movies and TV shows to stream instantly!

3. FREE SHIPPING on all Prime Eligible items! (which is everything I buy)

 
 

Initially I signed up as a Student (all you need to qualify is a school email) and received 6 months Free shipping on all Prime eligible items. With the initial student membership I  received shipping free with NO access to movies or books. Once I paid my $39.00 subscription fee I was able to stream movies, TV shows, read books and keep my kids busy when I need them to, where I need them for a whole year!

I have a Kindle Fire so I can access all of the Prime Material on my tablet. Now, when I have to take the kids to work with me I can stream a movie to occupy them! In addition, we recently got an Xbox Connect for Christmas. I signed up for Xbox Live and now I have access to my movies and shows on our Xbox all for less than cable plus the portability of using Prime on the go! I am so happy and so addicted!

The movies are decent movies, yes, they are not the most recent ones out of DVD but they are close. The kids watched Rango, The Justice League, Iron Giant and ton of Christmas Movies just to name a few.

 

 

I paid nothing more than my subscription fee!

NO MORE MOVIES taking up space in our house we have gone digital! Sure hard copies are still nice, but when your wanting regain space not have 5 drawers filled with movies helps!

Currently I can read the Hunger Games Trilogy for FREE with Amazon Prime along with:

 

 If your not a student the Price for Amazon Prime still pays for itself! $79.00 per year literally pays for itself in what you save in shipping, purchasing movies, renting movies, or purchasing books to read once or twice. With the Prime membership you no longer have to worry about meeting the $25.00 in order to get your Free shipping!


DO THE MATH:
1 new movie can range $13- $19 dollars plus tax
1 rental can range from $1.20 (redbox) to $5.99 elsewhere
1 New book can range from $4.00- $30.00 or more plus tax
Shipping can vary up to $100 depending on the item

Purchase any one of those options even just a few times a year and it adds up well over $79 per year. Why not keep the clutter down, stop wasting money on books your only going to read once, movies your going to watch once and try out PRIME for FREE for a Month!!

If you don’t love it just cancel and move on back to your normal life, I guarantee once you try it, you’ll never want to go without again!!

Get Your Amazon Prime Membership Today!!

If you have tried Amazon Prime I would love to hear what you think!! Leave your comments below!

This review is written solely by me. I was not asked by Amazon to write this or given any product to do so. This post does contain affiliate links which help keep this blog running!

Seventh Generation Product Review and a Cool Craft

December 11, 2012 By 13 Comments

I am so happy to have had the chance to work with such a great product like Seventh Generation. I am sure by now that you have heard this name and even seen their products in the cleaning isle in your local stores. I know I had prior to this review but I had not tried their products. You may think that is silly that I had not since I do run a partially Green blog but, there are so many products out there now that I find it almost overwhelming at times to know which ones are truly Green and which one’s are full of it.

First of all, I have to say that Seventh Generation and their products are most assuredly NOT full of it. They are completely green down to the core offering plant based cleaning products and recycled paper products. The Seventh Generation Philosophy is:

  • we create products that are safe for people, pets and the environment
  • we follow the precautionary principle and the tenets of green chemistry
  • we disclose ingredients
  • we try to use materials from plants not petroleum

They have even created a fun craft you can make with their Tissue boxes once your done with them instead of just recycling it!

So Let’s get into the product shall we? Here’s the wonderful load I received to use in my home!

6 boxes of Tissues
1 bottle of Mulit-Purpose Disinfecting Cleaner in Citrus Scent
1 bottle of Multi-Purpose Natural Cleaner in Free & Clear Scent
2 bottles of Hand Wash one in Mandarin and one in Lavender
1 can of Disposable Disinfecting Wipes
 

The tissues: I thought were going to be rough since they were recycled. However, I did not find that to be the case and when my son got a cold, he used them daily without any red dry tissue nose! YEY!! Also in a pinch because someone (me) forgot to pickup toilet paper, we used the tissues and they defiantly did the trick and made me want to try their toilet paper for real, (it’s on my grocery list!)

The Cleaners: The first thing I decided to clean with my cleaners was my fridge. It most definitely works well and what better placed to have a plant based cleaning product than where  your food is kept. I do have to give a warning though, while the smell is not harsh and offensive like many chemical cleaners. Both cleaners did have a slightly different odor that took a few uses to get used to.


The Hand Soaps: I could not wait to try these hand soaps from the Seventh Generation Personal Line. The Mandarin smells amazing and is in my Kitchen getting used daily, it leaves no residue on my hands like some soaps which is very nice. In our bathroom sits the Lavender Hand Soap and it also smells amazing! I honestly cannot pick a favorite I really do enjoy using them both!

The Disposable Wipes: These are perfect for the quick clean up, the cloths are strong, soft and work great on any surface! These are my favorite cleaning item to hand to the kids to clean up the table and small messes they make around the house. I know that I do not have to worry about my kids using these since they are plant based and that is helpful when you are trying to encourage them to clean up after themselves.

I love Seventh Generation’s commitment to Community, the Environment and Sustainability! I feel good using their products and having them in my home. I love knowing that by using Seventh Generation not only is my home chemical free but I am supporting all the good that Seventh Generation is doing!

Please make sure and connect with Seventh Generation on Facebook and Twitter!

Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops Review

November 13, 2012 By Leave a Comment

I have recently had the opportunity to try Pine Brothers Softish Throat Drops available at most CVS stores nationwide and various other pharmacy’s. Pine Brothers was created in 1870 by J Herman Pine. The idea was to create a throat drop that was natural and will help ease the pain from a sore throat. In addition, to being made from natural flavors, the drops are also Gluten Free and only 5 calories per drop!

Cough Drops

The drops come in a bag and are not individually wrapped, less garbage in the world! However, I had a concern with the absence of the individual wrapper, it was that they would start to stick together as I used them because the seal on the bag was broken. This was not the case, while these drops are not hard like regular drops they have a softer texture in the mouth but not completely soft hence, the “softish” in the name. They did not melt into one big cough drop which made me very happy.

Pine Brothers recently created a “puck” size that conveniently holds all the crops in a container so they travel well, this way your not carrying a open bag in your purse just to have all your drops fall out to the bottom of the bag. puck size

There are also great flavors to choose from that are not overwhelming. They sit very well in your mouth without overwhelming you with too much medicine flavor. Flavors like, Wild Cherry, Licorice, Lemon Citrus, and Natural Honey.

I love that I can comfortably give these drops to my youngest son (age 4 1/2) without wondering if they are going to be too much! They also arrived at the perfect time because he had developed a slight cold and his throat was getting scratchy but not yet sore. I gave him the wild cherry and obviously intently watched him to make sure he sucked on it correctly as he had never had a anything previously he was not allowed to chew. He did really well, he was tempted to chew but the soft texture actually helps reduce the urge to chew!

I also gave a pack to my neighbor and my sons piano teacher and they loved them! I would buy these again and I am glad that I had the opportunity to try them! These are perfect for that mild annoying ichy throat when you don’t really want to smell like medicine to everyone you talk to!

Be sure to check out Pine Brothers on Facebook to enter to win a $500 CVS card!

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Bows-N-Ties Review

October 20, 2012 By 11 Comments


I recently had the opportunity to review a great silk tie from Bows-n-Ties.com.

The tie I received was a handmade silk tie from Cavallieri. Typically, Cavallieri ties range from $50-$60 retail. However,  at Bows-n-Ties.com you can snag yours for just $24.90.

The Cavallieri tie I received in the mail was shipped rather quickly. It arrived in a nice package with a plastic covering. It’s a blue plaid and very soft. The stitching appears to be well done and I can see no flaws in the ties itself. The silk fabric on the tie has been handled quite a bit since it was received and shows minimal signs of wear, but if you look very closely you can see some signs of normal wear for a tie.  The color is fabulous and vibrant, I am so happy they picked out a blue one!

I took a few different pictures so you could see the color contrast of the tie. I think this would make an excellent Christmas gift! Bows-n-Ties.com has a rather large amount of colors (I counted 19 different color selections), prints and various prices. All ties can be returned easily if your not satisfied and there is no restocking fee (something I HATE online stores do). If you have someone who needs ties I would recommend Bows-N-Ties they are very nice and priced rather well.

Extreame Halloween T-Shirt Review

October 19, 2012 By 1 Comment


I thought this would be the perfect Halloween shirt to hand out candy in. What do you think? Maybe add a witches hat and I am good to go!

I received this t-shirt from Foulmouthshirts.com which I should warn you is just as it sounds and not a site you want to visit with the kids in the room. However, some of their sayings on the shirts were funny and while some were totally inappropriate for kids, I thought the candy shirt was not crossing any lines so I agreed to give it a review. If you can handle a few naughty words, jokes then go ahead and give this site a look but if your easily offended I would just look elsewhere!

The shirt itself is nice and heavy but not starchy heavy. It has some stretch to it as well and was very comfortable on my skin. The lettering is on nicely and does not appear to be effected by the dryer. I ordered a men’s medium and it fit decently the sleeves were a bit longer than some tee’s but overall it is a nice shirt.

On their site you can choose to order a tank, woman’s tee, hoodie, or mens tee. I would have liked to have had the chance to try the tank :)

Here are a few of the cleaner yet, funny tees on their site.

     

This one was pushing the clean line a bit but it made me laugh!

 

So time to sound off, can you handle a little foulmouthing for a few fun products or does everything you buy have to be G or PG rated?
