Florida Coast Coffee Review and Giveaway [Ends 11/15]

Image
I can't wait to share this coffee blend with you! I had the chance to try coffee made by Florida Coast Coffee and I was so impressed by how tasty it was! But first, to share a little bit about the background of Florida Coast Coffee ! Florida Coast Coffee was made by best friends who are from the tropical region and wanted to create a coffee that showed off the true flavors of the Florida coast. They created coffee blends with the Florida flair featuring blends such as "Tiki Bar Rum Cake" "Toasty Toasted Coconut" or "Coastline Regular Roast" (and so much more!). Basically they wanted to give coffee drinkers a true taste of sub-tropical climate so you have "paradise in every cup." I had the chance to try Kick Back Key Lime and Coastline Regular! I love how they describe the coffees on their site - here's what they say about Kick Back Key Lime: "Arriving on the beach after a morning of snorkeling in the Keys,

Send Me Gluten Free Subscription Box [Review & Giveaway] [Ends 11/7]

Image
I am gluten sensitive and I have found that it is very very hard to find good gluten-free products (that taste good anyway). So I was really excited to try Send Me Gluten Free , a monthly subscription box that sends you gluten free snacks (and coupons!) to try. The Send Me Gluten Free subscription box may be new, but they are not new to the idea of living gluten free! Some of the staff of Send Me Gluten Free as well as many of their families live gluten free and they know all about that lifestyle. Plus since 2007 they've been part of Gluten and Allergen Expos and launched a gluten-free restaurant finder app called Find Me Gluten Free . They recently launched the subscription box service to reach people like you and me that maybe don't think of going to gluten free expos and want the comfort of trying snacks and other goodies from home. How it works is that Send Me Gluten Free will ship you a snack box filled with 8 to 12 gluten free products (not just snacks!) from full

Make Your Laundry Smell Fantastic with Purex Crystals Aromatherapy! [Review and Giveaway] [Ends 11/7]

Image
I am so excited to bring you this new Purex product! It's aromatherapy crystals that you can toss in with your laundry (washer or dryer!). Purex has come out with three scents - Energy, WellBeing, and Serenity.  I had the chance to try out the Energy scent and it smells INCREDIBLE! The energy scent has a lemony zesty kind of flavor and I couldn't wait to try it with my laundry. And more than just laundry, this made for a great way to make my closet smell good! I grabbed a handful and toss some in a little small mesh bag and hung a couple of them on a hanger or two and it made my closet smell great! But best of all, how does it work with laundry? I tossed a small cup full (not even the whole cup provided, about a third of that) into the dryer with some laundry and let the dryer do its job! I was a little concerned at first about how this would turn out considering that the initial "smell test" of the aromatherapy crystals turned out to be they smelled r

WorldVisionCatalog - Buy Gifts and Do Good for the World #GiftCatalog [Review and Giveaway]

Image
As you start writing out your shopping list for the holiday season (yes! it's almost that time) I want you to consider shopping at WorldVision.org. Here's information that I received about WorldVision - "Since it first began in 1996, the popularity of World Vision’s Gift Catalog as a gift-giving alternative has grown substantially, with over 844,000 people in the U.S. and around the world contributing in the last fiscal year alone. The catalog gives shoppers a tangible way to improve the lives of children, adults and communities in different areas of need: clean water, food, education, sexual exploitation and job training, among others. “Every year we search the globe to find new products with life-saving impact,” says Cheryl DeBruler, World Vision Gift Catalog manager. “You don’t have to spend a fortune to bring tremendous social change. For $22, less than the cost of an average smartphone cover, you can provide an innovative blanket that not only prote

Aroma Ridge Coffee and Teas [Review and Giveaway] [Ends 10/30]

Image
If you haven't had the chance to try Aroma Ridge Coffee, you are definitely missing out. This is coffee company always has something new to offer and I'm always impressed by what I can try out. Aroma Ridge has been around a long time, too. They started more than twenty years ago as a small family business and now you can find their coffees across the country. Despite their growth they still continue to build their business around the ideals of buying from high quality growers, roasting beans to perfection and delivering excellent customer service. I had the chance to try two different types of coffee - Baba's Roast and Mama's Roast! Of the two, I really enjoyed Baba's Roast the most (totally didn't mean to rhyme right there). But they were both fantastic coffees. Baba's Roast, created by the Dad of the Aroma Ridge family, blends three amazing roasts for a medium-dark roasted coffee. Mama's Roast is more of a bold, sweet combination (blend

Pilot Pens - Best Tools for Hand Writers Everywhere! #shopletreviews.

Image
Since I hand write my stories, I'm always in hunt over the right pens. Which ones last the longest? Do I want the clicker pen or the ones with the cap? Should I stick with black or do I want colors? I'm usually pretty basic in my approach, but since I had the chance to try out the wide variety of pens sent to me by Pilot, I thought I would take each type into consideration! • Frixion Clicker - Erasable Pen I'm in love with this erasable pen. I could never write in pencil when I'm drafting a story, but there's something cringe worthy about having to scratch out a mistake when I'm writing. To be able to go back and erase something means so much when you are a writer! This also works really well too, and you don't experience a lot of faded pen markings that usually happens with erasable pen. Not to mention the quality is still great too (not choppy, nearly broken pen marks either)! • Frixion Highlighter Erasable The same goes for erasing...HIGHLIGHTE

Partida Tequila - Rich, Tasty Tequila [Review]

Image
I'm a huge fan of Tequila, particularly margaritas, and so I jumped at the chance to try out this particular brand of tequila. This brand of tequila called, "Tequila Partida" is made from 100% blue agave, which is far less common than you might realize. The flavor profile of this tequila is almost that of fine wine and speaks to the origins of Mexico's historic Tequila region. Because of the way Partida grows the agave plants, the flavor in the tequila is fuller, riper, and richer. I don't drink tequila straight, so I mixed in just a little bit of lime juice and triple sec in a glass mixed in with the sample sized amount of tequila I received. This made for such a tasty experience! One thing that makes this tequila stand out more than other tequilas I've tried before is the excellent taste. Most of the tequilas I've tasted before just taste too strong, but this had a rich flavor to it. The only downside that I can see right now is that to buy
