I love gift baskets because they're such a quick and easy gift. At gourmet gift baskets, they are filled with so many great goodies, and there are so many options that you're bound to find one that seems special and personalized to your gift recipient. They even have brownie sampler if you have a brownie lover in your life. As someone who doesn't care for chocolate, I certainly am not a brownie lover but Ryan thoroughly enjoys brownies so he was excited to try these out. The brownie sampler that Read more [...]

You can never have enough pain relief cream around, especially when you have a family with different needs.  I was sent Topricin Pain Relief and Healing Cream, Topricin Junior and Topricin Foot Therapy.  I have to admit that I am a little leery of trying unfamiliar products that help with pain relief and such.  After being introduced to Topricin and doing a little bit of research, I was excited to try it. Topricin uses no counter-irritants or chemicals and is greaseless and free of parabens Read more [...]

In the last year or so, chips and salsa has became one of my favorite foods to snack on. I've tried lots of brands, and to be honest I had gotten in the habit of buying whatever was on sale or cheapest at the time because they all seemed pretty similar. Until I got to try Mrs. Renfro's, anyway! Mrs. Renfro's is available right at my main grocery store (Meijer) but I had somehow managed to miss it until recently. I like all of the salsas I have tried from the Mrs Renfro's brand so far. I personally Read more [...]

Wonder Beard weekly conditioner. We really like these products and I plan to buy more when we are out of our current supply. The first reaction we both had was to how charming the logo is. I like pirate skulls, so I found the packaging attractive. The next thing we noticed was the absolutely lovely smell the products Read more [...]

I recently got a new hair style. While I was with my stylist, she said wait until you try this new styling product and she rubbed a little Marrakesh Oil on my fine hair. As she styled my hair, I was totally expecting this oil to  really weigh-down my hair making it even more limp and lifeless but, boy was I wrong. It helped my stylist get the “piecey” look I was wanting in my layers and it had an yummy tropical smell. As soon as I left the hair salon, I went home to do some research; I really Read more [...]
