I am a really big fan of things that are natural, just in case you can't tell :) I try to always go for natural things to help me through things for example with my asthma I tried to use my pur mist steam thing, humidifiers, etc and then when I had depression I used st johns wort vs other things that I could have used. I know that when David was having his anxiety and what not last year we tried a few essential oils and had really good success with them. I have also had some success with them when it comes to things like sleep issues ,relaxation and even with breathing sometimes, so I am a pretty big fan! So when I got an email that had a essential oil tie in for a review from Project Therapy Threads, I was really interested and excited. I had been really wanting to work with something that was related to essential oils, but I was as always looking for the unique approach of course! I really liked the message behind it, and the idea of the product so it was a great … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide Review: C4 Belts #C4belts #sponsored
One thing I haven't really ever had one of - believe it or not- is a BELT. I was always stick thin and it was really easy to find little tiny pants to wear and as far as a belt went I mean sure it would have been something cute to have, but it just wasn't something I ever had- not that I really know why. I know there is a really cute pic of me with my great grandpa at some point with mickey mouse suspenders but.. yeah :) As I have gotten older and a bit bigger.. clothes really have became a pain in my tushie because most of the time I can't find anything that fits anymore- and you would think that the majority of the problem would be that things are too tight, but just the same the low rise pants and trying to find right sizes end up being equally annoying with needing to be held up! Go figure! So when I got contacted to review a belt by C4 Belts, I was like YES PLEASE send one right away! They had so many to choose from it took me forever to decide which one that I wanted- I … [Read more...]
Autumn Rain Holiday Gift Guide Review: Ice Chips Candy (As seen on #sharktank) #review #icechipscandy
As you might have realized by now I am a salty kind of girl when it comes to snacks, but that doesn't mean that every now and again I don't like something sweet like candy! So when I had the chance to review some Ice Chips Candy that was featured on Shark Tank I was pretty excited! I am a pretty big fan of Shark tank and I do remember vaguely seeing the Ice chips when they were first featured on the show. In case you didn't you can check out the video clip and a little bit more about the history ice chips candy and the awesome gals behind it on their site : Ice Chips Candy on Shark Tank/About Us Page Basically it is these two awesome ladies who have 41 grandchildren between them and started in a garage! I like that kind of concept, because it makes me think of how my grandma is such an inspiring lady to me and all that good stuff and i bet if she had an idea like this she would be out and about doing it just like these two gals, because that is the way she is! she is 76 years … [Read more...]
Autumn Rain Holiday Gift Guide Review: Crane-USA BUZZ THE BUMBLEBEE COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER #craneusa #review
As you may or may not know, I started having really bad asthma attacks last year when we moved. I have had symptoms and really minor episodes for more years than I can remember but nothing that really alarmed me, but when we moved here last summer and then by last fall I knew something was wrong and started looking into things to help including primatene and an inhaler. One other option that I was using at the time was a humidifier but mine was really old and bit the dust. We used awesome expensive air filters and keep them changed but then again we have always done that. Then we tried an air purifier but the filters for it were pretty much as the actual purifier. So when I got a chance to get one to review from Crane USA I was like Hallelujah! Even better the Humidifier that they wanted to send me is the Crane USA BUZZ THE BUMBLEBEE COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER and I was like well now I know that it was meant to be because you may or may not also know I kind of have this odd thing for … [Read more...]
Review: Faery Kiss Naturals Soaps & More
A few months back I went to a blog meetup that had several vendors, including my mom- actually I made it a family event- David went to help my mom with using the square reader, and my dad went with us to be supportive of my mom! I was busy with trying to help my mom and I was also the person handing out swag bags & name tags & signing people up for headshots, so I kind of had the catch 22 of getting to at least come into contact with pretty much every attendee, but I didn't get to browse around or get to visit with the vendors! I had been REALLY excited about one vendor in particular because she was a local gal named Theresa and she wasn't representing an actual direct sales company, kind of like my mom if you will. I had actually messaged her on facebook and told her how excited I was to meet her and see her goodies, so I felt REALLY bad when things got too busy and I didn't get to stop by her booth. My mom did get to meet with her, and kind of paved the … [Read more...]
Nichole Reviews: Fresh Preserving Store Goodies (aka BALL Brand)
Something that has been a "hobby" but a necessity at the same time in my family for generations, is not only gardening but preserving our own food in various ways. I know that back a couple generations it was more of a survival type of thing than a hobby obviously, but in recent years with the way things have evolved, it is still an old school type of thing but something that we still do. I am fascinated by canning and all that good thing, but I will at the same time admit to you that I am TERRIFIED of using your typical pressure canner & the like! I actually have a pressure COOKER in my cabinet that my mom left over here when we moved last year because I had her come over and cook something one day and she volunteered to leave it for another time, but it has never been out of the cabinet since then lol. I hope one day to either overcome my fear or get an electric one! Since it is something I am interested in , and it is something that my mom (as well as my grandma) … [Read more...]
