Customized Girl Review

I am sharing with you another great company today, Customized Girl.  

 Customized Girl carries a great selection of customized apparel and other items. (they also have a gallery of way cute pre-made apparel) 

great for back to school! 

For the review, I was allowed to create a shirt.  I was way excited to do this I have pinned so many cute tops on pinterest that I want to have made but just haven’t got around to it so the hardest part was deciding what I wanted on the shirt! The steps were easy.  Changing your mind was easy (I changed my mind on type of shirt I don’t know how many times!) and there were so many great options to choose from. 

Here is the shirt I custom created!

Overall I love this shirt it's way soft and vintagey I ordered a medium and it's great, it's a flowy tank so wonderful to wear like a tunic or with shorts or jeans or whatever! And I finally decided on a design and went with Bless your heart, it's the southern belle in me that had to have it! I have so many other ideas I want to make too, so i will be using Customized Girl!

MY thoughts of the Products:

I really enjoyed the taste of all 3 products! They did not have a "yuck health taste" like some products do, they blended smoothly and kept me full and energized! With the Chocolate Soy I mixed it with a 8oz cup of unsweetened vanilla almond milk and it was amazing! And with the Vanilla Soy I mixed it with My morning cup of coffee! It was really good that way! Then when I tried the Pea Protein I decided to go the "shake route" with one drink I mixed unsweetened vanilla almond milk, handful of frozen strawberries and a scoop of lite cool whip and dumped it all in the blender and within seconds I had an amazing protein shake! 

My second attempt at a protein shake was really good too! I made a coffee one!

•  4-6 frozen coffee ice cubs (i freeze leftover coffee) 
•  1cup of unsweetend almond milk, 
• a splash of sugar free coffee creamer (your flavor choice) 
• a scoop of lite whipped cream 
• optional tsp of coco powder
• 2 scoops pea protein powder

 then blend it and you have a healthy frozen coffee/protein shake! 

Overall I really liked the Naturade products I got to try out and they will probably become my regular meal replacement/protein powder choices! 

Now for the Giveaway Naturade has offered one of you lucky readers a chance to win 19.57 oz Full size tub of  our All Natural Pea Protein 100% Vegan Formula in the vanilla flavor just use the rafflecopter form below

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:

“CREATION Created by a 20 year Bikram Yogi, Onzie blends the best of traditional yoga wear with modern innovation and a touch of whimsy. The result? Active apparel that is functional, flexible and flattering. At Onzie our philosophy is "keep your practice challenging, and your wardrobe simple!" Onzie's no-frills one-pieces and separates are best worn while sweating, swimming, or simply lounging around. In keeping with the principle of being inclusive, rather than exclusive, Onzie is affordably-priced and suitable for all activities and practices. Onzie products are made with love in southern California.

PERFORMANCE Utilizing Free-Flow Fabric Technology that is durable and breathable, this fast-drying material keeps bodies cool, dry and comfortable. Onzie yoga gear is perfect for hot yoga, but can also be used for pilates, spinning, swimming, surfing, running or hooping. Our clothes can be worn as everyday wear or into chlorine and salt water environments. You can transition in and out of yoga postures as seamlessly as you can the rest of your day. From straps to bottom, Onzie helps keep your body in check. You'll feel supported from the inside and out…shaping the entire body. So embrace the awareness of your being, sense your core, and feel secure. Focus on your strength and beauty. And for goodness sake, forget about those so-called flaws. You're perfectly you.

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 !

The Pitch Perfect Keyhole Tank

I simply am in love with these two pieces! amazing quality amazing prices flattering comfortable fit, that makes me feel awesome while working out, what's more to ask for!  While I do love both the pieces I will admit that I love the Little Black capris more, I feel like I could live in these! and here it goes mom confession #`1838338 I wore these one day ended up sleeping in them that night and the next morning they still looked awesome, now I did shower and change that second day lol, but no most workout clothes tend to stretch out and just look gross after  a few hours of wear, but not with Ellie, they truly keep their shape and look fabulous always!!

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 clock^TM  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!
