I Found My Favorite New Coffee!

I was recently contacted about reviewing a bag of Coffee From Coffee Bean Direct, I was naturally excited because, well, I live off of coffee, I mean I would have an IV of the stuff if I could, with that being said I am very particular about what coffee I like, there is one brand that I have my mom mail me because they do not sell it where I live, so I wasn't expecting to really be blown away by this coffee, but I was wrong, like way wrong!! 

Here's a little about Coffee Bean Direct:

"They carry over 100 varieties of Coffee and over 70 varieties of Tea! They roast Most of their coffee within 24 hours before it ships. All if their coffees & teas are blended, flavored & packaged by hand. They are located in NJ! And have excellent customer service where you can always talk/email a REAL person, who actually knows what they are talking about!! They ship quickly, usually next day. And are independently owned and operated!! What’s not to love about Coffee Bean Direct!!! (If you want to read all of their about us Go HERE and I urge you too one of the best "about us" sections I've read)


I was sent their 



City Roast Colombian Supremo


My Thoughts:

 First off this coffee smells heavenly! The next morning, after receiving the coffee, I decided to take a break from my normal coffee and give this one a try, before the pot was even halfway filled the wonderful aroma of this coffee filled my house I actually stood there watching and waiting for it to be done so I could pour myself a cup! And as soon as I tasted it I was sold the flavor is out of this world, just wonderful, I will admit I drank 2 pots that day and went to bed thinking about being able to wake up and make another pot! I definitely have to add this to the top of my favorite coffees list, it's like sunshiny magic in a cup!

ONZIE REVIEW




I’m a yoga newbie, and by newbie I mean I started in high school quit, started back but since my children have started grade school, their school does a yoga “class” each morning before starting their day, which has totally inspired me to get serious about yoga again! I have always been on the lookout for stylish, but functional clothes to wear while doing yoga, and I’ve had my share of outfit fails and being uncomfortable and lack of confidence in an outfit usually makes me want to quit, 
Well not anymore, Since recieving my Onzie outfit I couldn’t be happier and more motivated!

Dazzling colors and bold patterns are making their way into yogawear and I love it! Onzie is one company to thank for these fun, lively clothes.  Looks aren’t everything though like i mentioned above an uncomfortable piece will kill my determination, so I require comfort, flexibility and durability from my yoga clothing

All About ONZIE:

Active apparel that is functional, flexible and flattering. At Onzie our philosophy is "keep your practice challenging, and your wardrobe simple!"

AMERICAN MADE Did you know that Onzie is 100% made in the USA? All parts of our process including knitting, dyeing, cutting, sewing, photography, marketing, distribution and design all happen in the company's facilities in Los Angeles, CA.”


I was recently sent an outfit to try out from Onzie 



My thoughts on the pieces


Capris (print Space Jewels)
 They are like a 2nd skin! Silky smooth, fits like a glove but doesn’t feel tight or binding! Also these pants do not get all sweaty, they stay all fresh and cool!   They wash great and keep their shape and color! and my favorite part is they make your butt look amazing! Just a bonus to already amazing pants! lol



Scoop Back Tank (color Rosebud):
Great feel, once again amazing fabric and vibrant color! the back is way cute, scoops low and flattering on almost anyone, my only thing I didn;t realize the front was cropped before ordering, probably my fault for not reading, and crop tops are totally in everyone seems to love them I just prefer full length now the crop-ness isn’t way short just slightly and I will still wear this top proudly!  


Bandeau Top (color black):
Love this top, I’m not blessed in the big chest department, I mean I’ve seen 10 year olds with bigger boobs than me, so finding tops like this that will fit and stay up, supporting what little I do have is hard, but this top did all of that and didnt lose it’s shape after a few wears!

Overall:
  This outfit is seriously made of the highest quality material I have ever seen or felt.  And to make it even more awesome it is all made in the USA!  While in action it keeps you cool and dries really fast.  This is great for when you’re in a hurry! Typically, I’m in and out of my kids school throughout the day and I would skip a workout or rush to change but not anymore I feel comfortable and stylish enough in these pieces to wear anywear.


Onzie has an awesome line of unique and fun workout wear.  You’ll be shocked you never tried them, Their  patterns and styles are whimsical and fun.  I will definitely be sporting this outfit for more than just yoga. GO check out ONZIE you’ll be happy you did !

Zazoo Kids Review

I was recently sent the Zazoo Kids Photo Clock for review and I am so excited to share it with you!
 
 

 
I have 3 younger children who all are trying to stay up late past 10pm and wake up before 5 am, Why won't kids just trust me when I say one day you'll want sleep more than anything else! Well with that being said you can clearly see why I was so excited to try out Zazoo Kids Photo Clock to see if it would help my little munchkins sleep better!!
 
The clock displays images which clearly identify waking hours and sleeping hours so your little one knows when it’s time to go to sleep and when it’s okay to get out of bed in the morning. That means, if all goes well, I get a little more sleep in the morning until the ZAZOO changes to wake time at 7 AM.  Yes, please!!!!
 

 
The ZAZOO photo clockTM  is the contemporary multi-functional answer for your early risers.  For young children who wake too early or do not stay in bed all night, this is the solution for you.
The multi-media features ensure the clock will grow with your child for years and years of use. The alarm clock, rotating digital photo frame, music & audio book capabilities make this all-in-one a sure bet!
 
 
Watch this video for more info
 
 
 



How awesome is this Photo Clock, I mean really I want one for myself, it comes with fun images already on the clock that you can change to your child's style, or you can upload your own photos for a truly personalized experience, same with music and so much more!!!
 
 
There are so many cute styles that the clock comes in
 
We were sent the adorable Owl one!

 

 
Our Experiences with The Zazoo Kids Photo Clock:
 
 
We are in love! When I first pulled the Photo Clock out of the box I was surrounded by eager little ones who couldn't wait to see how it worked. I very quickly setup our preferences with the enclosed remote, and then the magic happened, all three of my children were waiting on bedtime, they kept checking the clock for the moon to pop up which was way out of the ordinary!! Finally 8:00 rolled around and my youngest was the first to spot the moon on the clock and immediately ran through the house shouting "OON" translation MOON! So without a word from me the older two washed their faces brushed their teeth put on jammies and were in bed!! AND they stayed in bed all night and until the next morning when the sun came out (on the clock)!!
(sun and moon designs)
 
 How did it work the next few nights (after the "newness" wore off) They are in bed on time every night with no fuss at all same with waking in the morning! SO this product is a winner works wonderfully and they just love all the extra features like the music playlist I can turn on the night time music and set a timer on the clock so it will automatically cut off after 30 minutes! This is truly a winner It's stylish functional and serves it's purpose! I can't wait to use this when back to school time rolls around it will help establish a routine so much quicker!
 
So Overall I highly recommend the Zazoo Photo Clock, they should pass these out to all new parents, everyone is happier with better/more sleep and Zazoo is there to help you accomplish that! Run down walk Over to Zazoo to order yours today!

Thirty-One Gifts Review and Giveaway!


I have a treat for you guys today! Thanks to the lovely Lisa Brinkley, a Thirty One Gifts consultant, I am going to be sharing with you about some of Thirty-One Gifts’ Hottest products for the summer!

A little about Lisa at Thirty-One Gifts:
“I am a mom of two beautiful children, Savannah and Tanner. They fill my life with joy everyday with them and watching them grow! Being married to my wonderful husband for almost 10 years, we have grown into a wonderful family together and continue to enjoy life day to day.

Being a stay at home mom has its challenges, just like any job, but when I came across Thirty One, their products have begun to make my life a little easier. Their products help me to organize my home, travel and daily life with the family. While doing so they are adorable and cute to carry around! They have so many options for each of their bags and they come out with so many beautiful fabrics as the seasons change! So, heres to hoping the Thirty One products make a big difference in your life!!"
I had heard of Thirty One Gifts, but never been able to attend a party to purchase. But I love browsing the catalog and I was SO excited. Thirty One has tons of bags, totes, purses, thermal totes, baskets, and other home organization tools and so much more. You get to chose your product, fabric pattern and you can add embroidery, too!

Here are the wonderful products that I was sent:

Organizing Utility Tote (in Turquoise)

 
This Bag is truly wonderful!!!! I know I can use this for so many things, but currently I’m using it as a diaper bag, Well Kid bag my youngest is 2 1/2 and is potty trained but we still have to carry extra clothes, her favorite toys, cups, snacks and just whatever else! And this bag is great for us I don’t really carry a purse with kids in tow, and with this tote there are tons of pockets to put my stuff in (keys phone wallet etc) and still have enough room for little miss’ things without carrying a huge bulky bag, and not to mention the tote is truly adorable so it is great to use for my “kid Bag” without sacrificing style! It’s perfect, i just hate I didn’t have it when we actually had to carry a fully packed diaper bag because it would’ve been wonderful! But with this tote your options for use do not end at just a bag for kids, this would be great for office use, or anywhere that you have to carry supplies back and forth, My mind automatically went to teachers gifts too when I saw this bag, it would be perfect for a new teacher gift to give at the beginning of a school year, or how about those new grads heading off to college you know they could use some stylish organization: the uses for the Organizing Utility totes are truly endless!! And remember there are tons of options for fabric patterns and embroidery to truly customize this bag!
 
 
 
Next up the.....

Large Utility Tote ( in Lotsa Dots)

 

OH I was super excited for this bag for summer! This oversized bag holds a LOT! It's perfect for toting towels and toys to the pool, carrying your sports gear to the big game, or for taking on camping trips and more! The structured frame keeps the bag open to carry bulky items, then easily collapses for storage. It is wonderful and once again adorable and on a recent outing to a soccer game I probably was stopped 10 times and asked where it came from, and of course I told them about Lisa’s Thirty-One Gifts!



Look How much this holds, that is a full size comforter in there with room on the sides to spare!
 
And Last but certainly not least

Thermal Tote (best buds)


This was another one I was totally excited about for summer! We live sort of close to the park (about a 20 min walk) so during the summer the kids always want to go play/picnic there, and taking lunch or drinks was always difficult to do, with keeping them cool enough without carrying 5+ kids lunch boxes or a bulky cooler, now I don’t have to worry I just put whatever we may need in this thermal tote and Know it’s going to stay cool enough on our outing! I’m already plotting it’s use for a trip to the zoo and hiking this summer too! Once again it’s in a darling and stylish print that I will be proud to show off!
 

 
 
Overall My experience with Lisa and Thirty-One Gifts has been wonderful!! With Thirty-One Gifts you know you are getting a high quality product that is not only stylish but functional! I don’t think that there is a single product from Thirty-One Gifts that I don’t like, I mean they are all so wonderful!!
