Mechanix Cold Weather Work Gloves Review
*Mechanix sent product samples for my review. All opinions are my own.
When I get my dad gifts, I always go for practical gifts. He's a fairly simple guy and if I get him something new and different, odds are high that he will never use it. He hates spending money on himself so he will let the items that he owns wear out completely before replacing them and tends to go for the cheapest items he can find. He'll be 70 next year so I hate seeing him "get by" with less than quality items especially Read more [...]

Original Bills Steak Strip Jerky – Stocking Stuffer For Foodies
*Original Bills provided product samples for inclusion in the Emily Reviews gift guide. All opinions are my own.
I love beef jerky. It's easily in my top three favorite foods of all time. I'm not sure if I have ever tried a type of jerky that I didn't like. However, I definitely can see a difference between different types of jerky. I like jerky that is tender and not greasy/oily. Yet, I don't care for jerky that is too dried out, either. I prefer slightly hot or spicy jerky over traditional Read more [...]
