The Rabbit Coffee Roasting Co. Pour Over Coffee Kit

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.


   The Rabbit Coffee Roasting Co. Pour Over Coffee Kit is perfect for single serve coffee away from home. This kit I received comes with a pour over coffee maker and 4 single serving pour-over pouches that are pre-filled with organic Ethiopian Yirgacheffe coffee.

   The pour-over coffee maker, which is the green piece you see in the photos, is made of a food grade silicone and is collapsible for easy storing. It's so easy to use, with the provided coffee pouches or using a coffee filter, and your own scoop of ground coffee beans, just pour the water over the coffee and you get a fresh cup any time you want!


    I love the little canister of ready to go coffee, where each pouch has an ear drip filter to help hold it in place. It takes a little bit to get use to, and you also have to be really gentle as the filters rip easily (see photo); But this is such a great invention, and would be great for taking on camping or beach trips. It's also perfect for minimalist homes or those that don't drink a lot of coffee but would like to every now and then.


   The Rabbit Coffee Roasting Co. Pour Over Coffee Kit would make a great gift for adventurers or a little something special for yourself. You can find it available for purchase on Amazon.

Eco-Friendly Forid Biodegradable Trash Bags

Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.


Have you ever thought about what happens to plastic garbage bags in the landfill? 

   We throw our trash in them as normal, but once they arrive to the landfills, the bags themselves can take anywhere from 10 years to 1,000 to decompose!! So why aren't we doing a better job at having bags that will break down and help the world thrive?! It's so much better to use biodegradable bags, as they are much more Eco-friendly, and sustainable. 


   With Forid Biodegradable Trash Bags, we can do just that! Their garbage bags are made with plant starch material that break down by microorganisms within 3 months. This material is based on natural renewable resources that wont cause damage to the environment. When the material is broken down, it releases water and carbon dioxide, completing an organic cycle to feed the Earth. This helps so much on pollution, you can easily compost these bags right in your backyard!   


   Forids Biodegradable Trash Bags are certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute. They are odorless, non-toxic, and available in different sizes. As you see in the photo, I am using size 13g in my 6g kitchen trash bin because I prefer them to be a little bigger. The bags have been holding up great, I would prefer them to be white, but it's containing my trash, so I'm not picky ;)


You can find Forid Biodegradable Trash bags available for purchase on Amazon and for a limited time, if you use the code: 15WEP9RF you can get 15% off!!

From Dora to Red, Easy Stool Revamp


I love recycling furniture to make the old new again, and when I came across this not so cute wooden Dora stool, I knew I wanted to make it mine. I started by giving the stool a good scrub using coarse sandpaper to allow the new paint to seep in and hold. This took a lot of elbow work as Dora just did not want to cooperate ;)


 After some good hard scrubbing, I cleaned away the dust, screwed off the legs, and began painting. I chose a bright Barn Red color for this stool, and love the turn out! It's eye catching yet subtly sits in my living room adding a pop of color. 


 What do ya think? Would you have painted the stool red or a different color?

Daily Goodie Box - March 2018


Another month, another Goodie Box! When I looked inside, I was greeted by a lot of bright orange and green colored items, it was as if the box was saying 'be happy!' in between each little product haha. Here's what I received in March's Daily Goodie Box.


Prince & Spring box of Organic Coconut Oil packets. This was so cool to receive, I never knew little coconut oil packets were being sold. This is great for those that don't use it as often, or want to take the oil on the go without worry of it being spilled out. The packets hold a good amount in each, so you can use it for all kinds of things: oil pulling, coffee creamer, lip balm, hair conditioner, massage oil, shaving cream, and so much more! Coconut Oil has many benefits to using and is such a good item to have on hand. This particular box I received is of cold-pressed, unrefined organic coconut oil that is gluten free, vegan, paleo friendly, and non-GMO verified.


   I received the Andalou Naturals Renewal Probitoic+C Renewal Cream Pods to try on my face and am pleased with the sound of this product. It is made with a Fruit stem cell complex, Vitamin C, and skin-friendly probiotic microflora to help support dermal vitality, give over-exposed skin cells a tighter looking appearance, and brighten your complexion. This is great for normal or combination skin types. I love how delicious this lotion smells! It has a sweet orange cream scent to it and rubs on my face so nicely. It left my skin feeling soft and moisturized..I hope to see great results in using this product!


If you're running sick and feeling a bit dehydrated, the Hydralyte Effervescent Electrolyte Tablets are really good to have on hand. These tablets help replenish lost electrolytes and re-hydrate your body when you've lost too many fluids from throwing up, bathroom runs, or sweating excessively. Both adults and children can use these, just follow the directions on the box. They come in 3 different flavors: Orange, Berry, and Lemonade. I received the orange flavor, and though I haven't needed to use them yet, I can imagine they will be great for boosting the system back up.


If you love drinking tea like I do, trying new tea's out is always a fun experience. With the Herb Guru Herbal Teas, they have 3 different flavors to choose from: Vibrant Vitality, Tropical Immunity, and Fruit Recovery. I received the Tropical immunity flavor and found it very refreshing. All of the ingredients are carefully hand-selected and blended..these include Kiwi, Key Lime, Ginger, Orange Peel, Pear, Lemon, Pineapple, Licorice Root, and Peppermint so you're getting quite a mix of flavor in this one. I mostly tasted ginger in mine, but it was a cool hydrating taste. You can drink these warm, cold, or at room temperature. I preferred mine cold, but you can do whichever best suits your needs.


If you need a little extra boost of energy, but don't have time for coffee or tea on the go, pop 2 Goviter Viter Energy Mints! Taking two of these mints is said to give you the energy of one coffee cup in your system, and you get fresh breath while on the run. I love that idea, because you can have the energy on a whim, without the diuretic response that coffee gives haha. However, when I took 2 mints at a time, and didn't feel any extra energy. I was looking forward to the extra push.. I loved having minty fresh breath, but I could also taste the bitterness of the caffeine. I wasn't really fond of that, but it wasn't horribly bad. And you get an extra bit of Vitamin B Complex in every mint, so it pans out ok. But I'm wondering why I couldn't feel any extra energy, when I'm not a daily coffee drinker. Overall this product is ok, good for on the go when you want better breath too.


Little bags for snacking is also perfect on the go! With Kay’s Naturals Protein Sweet BBQ Snack Mix, you get 12g of protein, 4g of fiber, and just 124 calories in every 1.2oz bag. I wasn't too fond of these little munchies. They were really crunchy and didn't have that great of a flavor. They taste a lot like protein powder and the BBQ taste wasn't very strong. I think they would be good for car rides, maybe a snack for body builders too, but I don't see myself eating them again.


You know when you're out and about, and you get a little food on your clothes, then you're left with a stain? With the Stain Remover Pen by Sun & Earth you can keep those stains away with just a little spot cleaning. This cool little item is made with natural vegan enzymes and surfactants, that help to break down the stain on contact. It can loosen even the toughest stains including greasy food, blood, tea, coffee, red wine, chocolate, tomato products and grass. You can use this on most fabrics without causing discoloration. And what's so great about this item, is that you can keep in your purse! It's suitable for anyone's clothing, including those who have sensitive skin, even babies and pets. This pen is hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly so you can feel good about using it.


If you like super chewy ginger candies, you will love the Ginger Chews with Mandarin Orange by Prince of Peace. These candies are too chewy in my opinion, all I can do is suck on them, but the flavor is great. I've tried these candies in the past, with just ginger, and didn't really like them. Since they added the extra Mandarin Orange taste, they are really great now! I love the mix of ginger and orange together, and it isn't an overpowering flavor at all. I do wish the pieces were smaller for easier sucking, because the size is too much for me. But I really love the flavor they put into these candies, and they would be great for those that experience motion sickness.

Predictions on Groundhog Day 2018


Do you think Punxsutawney Phil's predication of 6 more weeks of Winter will come true? 
It is said that his predication's are 39% accurate so we'll see what happens this year! I know a lot of people are ready for the sunshine and warmth, and flowers and Spring to Summer adventures, but I kind of like the idea for another 6 weeks of Winter. This season is so slow and cozy...it really makes you stop to enjoy the indoors. I love to get out, so I admit I do get a little stir-crazy inside, but Spring and Summer will come when it does, and I will enjoy the things when it's time for that season.

   I always like to do a little crafting fun on these holidays, and even though my son is getting older, he still enjoys them every now and then. Today's activities could be suited for any age really, but we started it with a simple book we picked up from the library: "Punxsutawney Phyllis" by Susanna Leonard Bill. I thought the book was cute, but my son's opinion was "meh" I guess it was deemed 'too young' for his aging 10 year old self haha. I do like that the book had some informational History in the back though! 
   Next he filled out a 'Make A Predication' Worksheet that I printed off free from teacherspayteachers.com and he predicted the same that Punxsutawney Phil's predicted... another 6 weeks of Winter! He really doesn't like Summer because of the heat haha. The fun craft we did was a silly little Groundhog Head made with hearts-because it's February! The head is a large heart upside, with half hearts for ears, a heart nose, upside down heart teeth, and fun googly eyes! I think he's pretty cute =) 
What kind of fun did you get in to today?


Find That Perfect Gift While Shopping At Uncommon Goods

 Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.


It's that time of year again, where everyone is rushing to purchase Christmas gifts for their family and friends, diving in to all that Black Friday/Pre Holiday Shopping! With thousands of online stores, you can purchase gifts from the comfort of your own home, without having to deal with the craziness of other shoppers. 

Uncommon Goods is a great place to find unique items for those in your life. They have been awarded for outstanding customer service since 2007 and rightfully so! You will find several handmade items, upcycled/recycled art pieces, and special artist designs to support each individual... They literally have something for everyone in all kinds of categories. Kitchenware, home goods, tasty treats, nerdy gifts, and more, there are so many options to choose from to find that perfect gift! I did a little Christmas shopping myself! I was able to find all kinds of goodies to check off my gift list.


Know a Taco loving family? Check out this awesome Tortilla Press, where you can make tortillas in your very own kitchen...how authentic! And not to mention...totally delicious. You just need to make the dough, roll into balls, and start pressing. You will have handmade tortillas to enjoy right in the heart of your home. This kit includes a bottle of hot sauce, a pamphlet filled with recipes and history of the tortilla press, and a nice little kitchen towel. It doesn't come in a very cute box though, and did arrive dusty, so you would want to re-box this before it is gifted to someone. Otherwise this is a fun set and would be perfect for those who love tacos!


How about matching taco socks to go with that tortilla press! Isn't this just a perfect gift? Novelty socks are an excellent gift for men. They have so many fun designs to choose from. My husband loves wearing fun socks with his dress clothes so these will be a hit for him! Another enjoyable gift that many seem to love is the gift of coffee. I know I'm a big coffee lover especially when it smells great! These Bourbon infused Coffee Beans are great for those that enjoy Bourbon with their coffee in the morning. This is a unique item that is sure to start some conversations. Pair that with some Beer Shampoo and you have an incredibly fantastic gift for the men or women in your life.


Looking for a cool kids gift? My son loves Cubebots. I know he's going to love the solid cherry-wood Areaware Cubebot this Christmas. He has a nice little collection going and adding this one in will make him ecstatic. This particular Cubebot is larger than the usual bots, standing at 9.5inches tall, bringing an extra height of fun!


And the Mrs. Food Face Plate brings all kinds of fun to your little one's meals. You can use food to design the plate in so many silly ways. It will bring yourself and your children loads of laughter seeing each meal as a masterpiece. We love the Mr & Ms Food Face Plates. You really can add a variety of silliness to each meal, not only adding more fun to your food, but also getting your children to eat some of the foods they might not eat regularly. I say get one for all the kids!


   There are so many items at Uncommon Goods that will provide gift options for Christmas right around the corner. And with every purchase you make, Uncommon Goods will donate $1 to a non-profit of your choice. Check out uncommongoods.com and see what kind of goodies you can find!

Adorable PeterPan Hot Water Bottle With Hippo Animal Cover


Disclaimer: I received the following product(s) in exchange for my review. All opinions my own.


   With Fall here and Winter right around the corner, the weather is getting colder which means the want to lounge around and be warm and cozy is here. With the PeterPan Hot Water Bottle and it's adorable animal cover, you can relax with the warmth and coziness of this heat pack, without the needed of electricity! Heat some water and pour it into this easy to use hot water bottle, place the cover on and it's ready to go! The pack holds up to 2L of water and is transparent so you can see just how much water it holds. It is leak free, you can even tip it upside down! You can snuggle this cute plush until the heat runs out. And the cool thing is, you can use this in the summer too, just fill it up with cold water!


   I am amazed at how adorable this plush Hot Water Bottle Animal Cover is. Gone are the days when you have just the ugly red bottle to show. This cover hides it completely, turning it into such a cuddly little lovey.  Both kids and adults will like snuggling up with this, whether they are sick or just cold, it will make them feel better, and the extra weight from the water pouch makes it really enjoyable to hold. I get really cold in our apartment now that it's nearing winter season, so having this will help me fall asleep easier and keep me warm. It will also be great to use when the little ones have a sick tummy and want that extra comfort. You can also use it for your pets! This is my first time owning a Hot Water Bottle and Cover, and I already love it. 



You can find the PeterPan Hot Water Bottle With Animal Cover available on Amazon and it comes with a 100% money back guarantee.
