I really enjoy spending time in the kitchen cooking and baking for my family.  It's a great time to include the kids and have some fun or, sometimes, I use it as a calming therapy when life has just been extra busy and hectic.  While I can remember enjoying cooking and baking from the time I was young, I've found over the years that the right tools really help to ensure a positive experience.  I came across a company called Architec Products that offers a wide range of fun and useful products Read more [...]

Thank you Michael Todd True Organics for providing me with products to review, free of charge. These are my own honest opinions. Roses are a symbol of love and if you're like me, the scent alone brings back wonderful memories. But did you know that roses have many nutrients that are great for the skin? They contain vitamin A and vitamin C as well as essential fatty acids. The oil that can be extracted from them can hydrate, tone, and heal skin.  Micheal Todd True Organics Rose Collection Read more [...]

*I was provided with treats and a chew from Organic Pet Boutique in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. When people decide to go organic for themselves and their families, it doesn't usually take long to jump over to wanting organic products for their furry family members as well. Finding organic products for dogs is really difficult in most department stores, so it's really neat that Organic Pet Boutique is an online website that specializes in organic products for pets. Organic Read more [...]

I received products from Jiva Cubes for my review. All opinions are my own. When it comes to making coffee, you have two basic ingredients:  coffee grounds and water. In some form or another, you combine the two and end up with a delicious cup of coffee. Right? Wrong! No matter how many times I make coffee, I end up with completely different cups of coffee. More often than not, my coffee comes out really weak. To correct this, the next time I brew, I alter the amounts of coffee grounds and/or Read more [...]

A special thank you to Estée Lauder for providing me with a sample of their Evelyn Lauder and Elizabeth Hurley Dream Lip Collection to facilitate this review.  All opinions are my own. Breast Cancer Awareness is publicized with the iconic Pink Ribbon.  I have seen window clings, car decals, and even people sporting the Pink Ribbon for years but always thought "it would never happen to anyone I knew."  That conclusion came crashing down a few years ago when my Aunt was diagnosed with breast Read more [...]

Thank you to VAN'S Natural Foods for providing samples, free of charge, to facilitate this review.  All opinions are my own. Many people have made New Year's resolutions to begin eating healthier.  Some people have made this vow years ago and are still going strong.  Or perhaps there are some people out there that are saying that today will be the first day of the rest of their lives and are making that change now.  Either way, VAN'S Natural Foods offers some great tasting products to help Read more [...]

Thank you ZizzyBee Bags for providing me with products to review, free of charge, and for sponsoring a giveaway. These are my own honest opinions. I'll be the first one to admit it, I'm not very good at staying organized. I always end up with stuff all over the place and look for misplaced items way more that I care to say. So whenever I come across a product that can help me become more organized, I can't pass the chance to try it. ZizzyBee Bags offers a super simple way to keep the clutter Read more [...]

*I was provided with product from SitStay in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own. After being sent the SitStay.com O Holy Meat gift set for Christmas, Frank & Beans (my pugs) fell in love with SitStay.com. I did, too. We even placed an order for some neat natural products like waddlers and paddlers, pumpers (hearts) etc after we did that review because the prices and quality were great. Now that Valentine's day is right around the corner, SitStay.com has created a section of Valentine's Read more [...]

Many people have trouble falling asleep, myself included. There are so many reasons that falling asleep can be a hard task, from simply getting too much blue light from computer screens and cell phones before bed, drinking caffeine too late in the day, to more serious issues such as constant stress or insomnia. Whatever the case may be, Glysonna may be able to help. Glysonna is a natural sleep aid, that is non-habit forming, and works the very first time you use it. I was very excited to be able Read more [...]

I received products from Little Fashions Boutique for my review. All opinions are my own. My little girls love fashion. At 7 years old and 4.5 years old, they really seem to be developing a style all their own. They very much enjoy mixing patterns, textures and colors. Often my oldest will come out of school wearing more accessories than she went to school wearing. I have heard from some of the class mom’s that she has even worn a tiara during class…trust me, she did not leave the house wearing Read more [...]
