Ever since i knew I was going to go to the Lake Norman Beerfest I had the thought in my head that it would be neat to wear a costume- kind of like the ones people wear when it is an Oktoberfest or a fall beer festival, and I finally started looking around to see if I could find something I liked. I didn't have too horribly much in mind except I wanted it to cover me up half way decently, and that I would like it to be a light sort of costume because I was sure by the time we had beerfest it would be getting fairly warm outside. I found something I liked on a random site, but I still wasn't sure!  Then I remembered that a few years ago I used to review for Costume Discounters,and I wondered if they would mind working with me again, especially since it had been a while! I sent out an email and they agreed... I didn't at first see the costume that I originally had wanted so I was a little discouraged and started looking for other ones and then.. I saw IT.. the original one and I knew … [Read more...]

this is a followup post about Lake Norman Beerfest 2015. I received 2 complimentary VIP passes to attend and blog about the event! All thoughts, opinions ,ideas and experiences are honest and my own. Yours might vary. I am sure that if you have been following along on the blog for any length of time you have saw the pinned post about me going to Lake Norman Beerfest 2015  which I have been pretty excited about because I had planned to go to the Charlotte one last fall and didn't get to go. Anyways, I spent half of Saturday deciding what to wear. Yes, there was a costume I was going to wear and it was looking great until I took it off for lunch and with the heat I was swelling up and hot and - yeah lol.

So, if you have been reading my blog for very long , you probably know I have a reputation of being a picky eater! I will defend it in short by saying I AM NOT lol. I am just like everyone else in the respect that I don't like certain foods, but then I have the whole food allergy and not eating things because of religious reasons going on for me too! One of my main things I have NEVER been able to eat is PORK. I think it is absolutely YUCK.. I won't get into it on that level, but when I was going to church as a child we went by the old testament food laws so Pork was a NO NO big time.  Even though I have grown u and we have long since quit going to that church, I have never got to the point where I have wanted to try it either! I know that even as a child would I would eat pork and not know what it was … [Read more...]

You can check out my review of Zaycons Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts!  This time around my review is about their new partnership with Chicken Soup For The Soul! Check out the awesome goodies that they sent me:     A cute cup with a spoon , broth, bbq sauce, a meal builder for meatloaf, a book (of course) and a set that has a potholder, oven mitt and an apron- branded with chicken soup for the soul of course! There were actually two sets but my mom snagged one of them :)I also received a box of Zaycon foods boneless skinless chicken breast (40lbs) as well!
