Hey Everyone I have been SO SO SO Busy today both online and in the house. I wrote 4 total reviews- just finished the one about 30 minutes or so ago actually.. I got the main gift guide page updated and actually added 2 logos and got one of the images that I couldn't get to link before to link (so I guess there is hope for the other one) Now I pretty much already have 1 more review to write unless the one that I wasn't sure about ends up coming and . that will be o.k. I actually already started working on the one and it shouldn't be too awful hard to finish- and if I wasn't wore out and so darn jittery i'd probably finish it tonight! I actually ended up having a caffeine crash from drinking too much coffee so I was finishing a review up when David came home and he had ate a quarter of a chicken today so he didn't want dinner so I ended up laying down for about an hour to get rid of the jitters. it worked out pretty well and since then I did the other 2 reviews. Then.. I got the … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Ring Video Doorbell (Hammacher Schlemmer) #sponsored #ad #review
Sometimes I see something and I try for a good while to get it to review before I ever wind up with it, sometimes it isn't cut and dry and it isn't instant - but it seems like those are always the most exciting reviews that I get when they come to be a reality. Oh, and sometimes you have to find somewhere other than the actual brand to get the review from too! The latest item that I got to review was one of these "special" items and it was the Ring Video Doorbell that I got thanks to the wonderful folks at Hammacher Schlemmer. I worked with them last year on a review for my wine fridge which I really love, but I did end up gifting it to my parents a couple months ago! I would have kept it but I know that they would enjoy it and that it was going to a great home :) In case you don't know Hammacher Schlemmer has almost anything in the world that you can think of, and you can even get their catalog sent to you if you want. I always find so many unique things that I love when I … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide Review: The BroBasket #review #sponsored #ad
This is a review of Alcohol so if you are not of legal age in your country of residence (21 in the USA) then please do not proceed reading this review- thanks! You all know that I love adult beverages, I don't make a big secret of it, and I generally do several alcohol related reviews every year! However, this year I just haven't really been in the mood to do them because most of the ones I generally end up writing are ones for wine, and I have to admit I am kind of not that big of a wine drinker anymore! Mostly because it gives me horrible heartburn and I always end up so hungover/horrible headaches when I drink it so I kind of switched back to beer and the "hard stuff". As far as reviewing beer goes, I would rather just buy it, and as far as "hard stuff" goes I don't really get the chance that often! I was also looking for something GUY related to put in this gift guide and I found out about bro baskets and well everything tied together! I have to say though , you don't … [Read more...]

I ended up getting a set of them a few weeks ago, and I have been trying to learn more about them ever since! I have enjoyed them so far, and I have been trying to expand not only my knowledge. but my collection of related goodies and blends and what not as well! One thing I thought would be really awesome would be a way to be able to get some of the benefits of aromatherapy without having to be around a diffuser, and I also thought it would … [Read more...]
Holiday Gift Guide Review: Carhartt Chore Coat for Dogs #review #sponsored #ad #carhartt
One of my favorite things to review are the ones that I get for others, especially when they are for one of my fur babes. Of course, Marley being a dog ends up with more than what Sam does for the most part! When I started putting together my gift guide back in the mid summer, David asked me if I knew that Carhartt made pet stuff now and I actually didn't! I was really excited and knew that I wanted to try to get at least something of theirs to review for Marley for the gift guide. I actually took a while to get in touch with the right person, which was fine -sometimes it happens like that! I originally requested 2 items, but I only got one of the items because of availability, but I was excited to be able to work with them.The Carhartt Pet Accessories & Gear line has several items to choose from including beds, car seat covers, blankets and more! My Family & David LOVE Carhartt Carhartt has been a big brand that people in my family has always really liked! You … [Read more...]
Snow tomorrow, so they say…
Hey Everyone Well today is going to have to be a get things done day for me! Tuesday I was so MEH all day and yesterday I was semi- MEH but today I am trying to hit the ground running :) Which honestly a lot of the MEH is because it is so darn dreary and gray out and they are actually calling for snow tomorrow- it went from like a 20% chance to a 60 % chance! Tuesday I fully chalk up as a girly day because for some reason I get about 1 day a month that ovulation just knocks me out so yeah.. Yesterday I just had so much random crap I needed to get done like changing sheets and such so.. It all works out in the end :) Today I already have loaded the dishwasher, put a new trashbag in the can , refreshed the water in the fridge, took marley out, started some sheets, made the bed , straightened the couch and cleaned out the fridge. The only other things in the house to get done would be me straightening my hair and keeping the laundry going- like fold up the towels in the dryer and … [Read more...]
