MY REVIEW

Purelis Sent me their Premium Deluxe Bath and Body Gift Basket and they also sent me their 40 Piece Bath Bomb Gift Set. I was very excited to receive these bath sets because I love to pamper myself. I love lavender scents they help me to go to sleep. This bath and body set included so many great Lavender scented items! It would make a great gift for all your important women in your life for any occasion.  I loved everything in it! The lotion isn't greasy at all. It left my skin feeling really refreshed and soft. The 2in1 shampoo and conditioner left my hair with a light lavender scent I did have to use another conditioner along with it because I have very damaged hair. But it definitely made my hair feel clean and smell so good. The body wash was really nice as well. It left my skin feeling soft and clean. After taking a bath with all these great lavender products I felt really relaxed and sleepy. I slept like a baby. This is just some of the products in the gift set, there are so many more great products which I will list below. I fell in love with the bath bomb set as well. It comes with 40 different naturally scented bath bombs that smell so great. I love that you have so many to choose from, so you have many options for every bath you take.  Every woman loves to soak in a warm bath with a bath bomb, So this bath bomb set would also make such an amazing gift as well. The bath bombs left my skin so smooth and soft after each bath. They also left an amazing light scent on my skin. I will be honest some of them did stain my tub but nothing a rinse could solve it came right out. If you are looking for some amazing gifts these two are both a great choice.

My Review On Chops Beef Jerky!

Disclaimer: I received 4 bags of beef jerky from chops snacks for free in return for my honest review!

                                                        

MY REVIEW:

I was so excited when I got a yes to review chops beef jerky. My family and I are a big beef jerky loving family!!! We love to try all kind of different companies beef jerky! I heard that Chops had some of the most tender beef jerky on the market,So I had to test it out for myself. As soon as I received the package in the mail I opened it up. They sent me four bags of beef jerky in the flavors of Teriyaki, Orignal, Sweet and Spicy and Red Chili Pepper. We tried the teriyaki first and omg!!! It had such an amazing sweet teriyaki flavor,The beef jerky melted in my mouth it was so tender and soft. The original has a really delicious smokey beef taste and was very tender and soft as well. The sweet and spicy had a sweet and hot sauce flavor to it. The sweetness overpowered the spiciness. It had a little bit of heat but wasn't to spicy at all. Now the red chili peppers was extremely too spicy for me!! I down a whole bottle of water after eating  one piece haha. I can't handle spicy at all so don't not try it cause I said that if you love spicy foods you will love the red chili pepper flavor. I just don't like spicy at all, my husband on the other hand loved the spicy flavor. Chops beef jerky does not add any preservations and is 100% Glutin free! It is also all natural which I love!! I know that I'm not putting junk in my body when I eat this beef jerky!! They also have beef sticks which I didn't get to try but would absolutely love to try them I'm sure they taste just as delicious! I love beef sticks as well!!! I will have to admit that chops beef jerky would have to one of my favorites I have ever tried!!! just the moist and tenderness is what sold me. It didn't even get stuck in my teeth like other brands of beef jerkys always do. If you are a beef jerky lover like me you have to try chops beef jerky you won't regret it and will completely fall in love with this brand! I was just absolutely amazed at how amazing it was! We finished off all four BAGS within 3 days of receiving them in the mail thats how addicting it was!!!! :]

     PRODUCT INFO:

As with most companies, ours is one with humble beginnings. Dusty, the CHOPS man himself, was inspired to venture into the world of jerky while on a family farm in the Pacific Northwest during the summer of 2013. One evening, after a long day in the fields, Dusty was craving a tasty high-protein snack so he bought some beef jerky at the local store.

He was thoroughly disappointed that the jerky was so tough and flavorless thus, ever the enterprising man, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Dusty experimented with his jerky, and finally arrived upon a recipe using only premium ingredients and an all-natural beef brisket. While some brands claim they have tender jerky, none of them are as tender as ours. We guarantee it.

Two years later Dusty was running a small successful jerky business back in his hometown in North Georgia when two young jerky lovers stumbled across his product. They loved it so much that they contacted the CHOPS man, Dusty himself. Fast forward a year, and CHOPS has seen substantial growth. These four jerky lovers work hard together, every single day, to bring you- our fellow jerky lover, the best snacks on the market. Our head chef uses his signature slicing technique to provide you with the most tender and moist jerky available anywhere.

We aren't your run-of-the-mill jerky company. We love what we do, and people love our products as a result. We don't settle for average. We only use all-natural premium beef brisket, and 100% natural spices topped off with a royal hand-crafted creation process from our head chef.

CHOPS isn't your typical jerky brand produced in a cold industrial factory, nor is it made in the kitchen of a house where quality control is unattainable. Our products are produced in a facility nestled in the American Rockies and given the utmost attention throughout the whole process.

CHOPS is not made as a low-quality snack only for gruff men, but as a high-quality, affordable product for everyone. We’re the jerky made for everybody. We are so confident in our products, that if you aren't 100% satisfied with your purchase, just contact us and we'll give you a full refund, no questions asked! That's right, and that's just how confident we are that you'll form a love affair with Chops just like we all did.

My review on Ozeri 3x Tower Fan.

Disclaimer: I recieved the Ozeri 3x Tower Fan for free in return for my honest review. 


                                 MY REVIEW

I was so excited when i found out i was going to get the Ozeri 3x Tower Fan for review because, we were in desperate need for a new fan. When we got the fan and opened and put it together we were very surprised at how well it was made and how tall it was as well. We plugged it in, and turned it on and the air flow the three fans was amazing it felt very nice. We love all the features it has and also how quiet it is. It also came with a remote which is awesome and very convenient. some of our favorite features of the fan are the 7 hour timer that comes in handy when we don't want the fan to run all night long. Another feature we love is that it has three different fan speeds for all three fans. We also love that we have a choice of three air flow patterns. It has a glass base which makes it very sturdy. It keeps our bedroom very cool at night. We use to wake up sweating in the middle of the night, but The Ozeri 3x Tower fan has helped with that problem it keeps us cool throughout the night. Since we have had the fan we have slept better throughout the whole night. It comes in three different colors which are black, white and gray. It also has an one year warranty which is great! We are absolutely in love with this fan. We highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great fan at decent price that is made well and that will last.

My review on Zip Chips

Disclaimer: I received ZipChips for free in return for my honest review. 


                         MY REVIEW

I love to try new snacks so when zipchips told me yes to reviewing there chips i was so happy.Zipchips sent me two bags of there zip chips in the flavors cinnamon swirl and cranberry crunch. The Cinnamon swirl was my favorite out of the two it is apple chips coated in cinnamon they were so delicious. The cranberry crunch was very delicious as well it is made of organic puffed amaranth and brown rice, sliced almonds, golden flax seeds and of course tangy sweet cranberries. Zip chips also come in two other flavors as well blueberry crunch and crunchy apples i'm pretty sure those are just as yummy!! I love that zipchips are all natural and gluten free! I have been on a diet so this was an alternative healthy snack to curve my sweet tooth! I love eating I love that They contain no saturated fat, chemicals, or hydrogenated oils. and are high in fibers! I loved having these to reach for as a snack rather then other bad snacks such as potato chips. I recommend zipchips to everyone that want to make better choices or even for moms that want to cut back on all the bad snacks they give there kids and give them a better tasty snacks. I absolutely love zipchips and I know you will too!!

ABOUT ZIP CHIPS

We started Bekaa Farms because of a conspicuous void in the marketplace: truly good snack food. Our passion for all things gluten-free led us to develop products that are both incredibly nutritious AND pass the yummy test. The best part of our business is listening to our happy customers!

 Our Mission is to provide healthy low-cost snacks to folks who want the impossible: Satisfying their “munchies” (i.e. cravings for sweet or savory junk food) with something positively 100% healthy.

Our products are natural, high in fiber, and gluten free. They contain no saturated fat, chemicals, or hydrogenated oils.

ZipChips fill a market niche left by so-called “health food snacks” because our ingredients are true. You will find nothing like “reconstituted potato flakes” or ingredients that are better left in the world of chemistry. Even with all this goodness, ZipChips are priced competitively with the leading mass-produced national brands. 

Bekaa Farms was created in 2010 as a family business to share the Northwest’s sensational apples and other natural ingredients with folks who appreciate the benefits of going gluten-free and who don’t want to sacrifice on flavor and nutrition. We’re still a small operation, but love to connect with our customers, sponsor worthy events (like Hood to Coast) and help out in the community. This is what “local” is all about. 

In 2013, we opened our new and expanded production facility in Camas, WA, so we’re poised to grow ZipChips beyond the Pac Northwest.  We are working hard on getting ZipChips into all the major natural grocery stores and will keep you updated on our progress.  Finally, to give back to the community – we’ll be sponsoring another good cause this Summer; more news to come.

I was so excited when i got an yes to review the you will always be in my heart necklace from Tracy Tayan Designs. The reason why i was so excited is because i lost my daddy to cancer and the day before he died he told us all buy and he said Stacey and he grabbed my hand and and put it on my heart and said you will always be in my heart! So when i seen this necklace it was so perfect it made me tear up. So this necklace means a lot to me. When i received the necklace in the mail it came packaged so cute it was nicely wrapped and the box it came in was also decorated so cute as well. This company does an amazing job with presentation. The necklace is so beautiful.It has a heart stamped with you will always be in my heart and it has an angel wing charm and then it has daddy on an plate charm. Its so beautiful i wear it with pride knowing that it was made by hand with love! Tracy Tayan does very beautiful work she has so many other themes such as couples,kids,family and so much more! These necklaces make great gifts for anyone that holds a dear place in your heart. She also does design your own where you can create exactly how you want your Jewelry made.

Shes so sweet. 

ABOUT TRACY

Growing up in Hawai’i, you learn that “aloha” means so much more than just hello and good-bye. It means affection, peace, compassion and mercy. It is a way of life. For me, aloha is the foundation of everything that I do, from waking up in the morning to crafting jewelry.

Another concept that I incorporate into my jewelry from Hawai’i is “ohana,” or family. Even if you are not related by blood, you are still ohana to close friends.

My travels have taken me along a winding journey, both as a person and as an artist. Following ohana and living aloha, I have resided in four states, obtained multiple degrees from six universities, including a master’s in education, and my artistic medium has evolved through the years.

I loved being a teacher, but I think I enjoy being a student even more. I currently reside outside of Philadelphia with my husband and a daughter who is an artist in her own right, beginning her own journey.

My passion for jewelry—or obsession as my husband might put it—comes from aloha and ohana. I try to create unique, personalized keepsakes that signify ohana and spread aloha.

Mahalo! (Thank you)

My Review On Younique 3D Fiberlash Mascara!

Disclaimer: I received this mascara for free in return for my honest review! 

                           

                                     My Review

I was so excited to get to review the Younique 3D Fiber Lash Mascara!! I have heard of it and seen results and fell in love! I had to get my hands on some. I contacted an sweet younique presenter named Angela Hope and she was very kind and sent me the 3d fiber lash mascara for me to try and review! I couldn't hold my excitement in as soon as i received it in the mail i opened it right away and tried it. Omg just with one coat i fell in love my lashes were so much longer and thicker looking!! I wanted to be adventurous so i applied two more coats! I was so shocked with the results it looked like i was wearing false eyelashes!! AMAZING!!! I fell in love with first use. I got so many compliments on how long my lashes were! I was all smiles the whole night! I felt so beautiful! I have to honestly say i'am never going back to drugstore mascara! I'am Hooked! What i love the most is that all of youniques products are all natural  its gluten free, vegan, cruelty free, and does not contain any harsh chemicals. I always feel comfortable wearing all of youniques make up cause its all natural and wont hurt your skin like most other products do. I also love that it is water resistant, so you can cry, sweat, use eye drops, etc and it isn't going anywhere unless you rub it. Although it seems like there’s a lot of steps to putting on the 3D mascara, it actually goes very quickly. I should also mention, that normally, I normally would apply 2-3 coats of regular mascara, so I feel the time involved to apply the Younique is about the same. If you typically only apply 1 coat of mascara, then using the Younique, you’ll be adding on about 2-3 minutes to your regular makeup routine but its totally worth it to make you lashes look 5x better. 

these are the steps that i followed when i use the 3d fiber lash mascara.

 1) First you apply 1 coat of your regular mascara (any old cheap brand would do, as its just a base)

2) Then you apply 1 coat of the Younique gel (its black and resembles regular mascara)

3) Then you apply 1 coat of the Younique fibers (it looks like pieces of black fluff on a mascara wand)

4) Then you apply another coat of the Younique gel to seal it

I repeated these steps 3 times! 

So if you want long lushes beautiful lashes like mine then  definitely order some today!! Its totally wort the 29 dollars and you get a 3 month supply! YOU WONT REGRET IT!  You will fall in LOVE TOO!!! 

            Here are some pictures of my results!

                               

                                                            NO MASCARA

KNOCK KNOCK STUFF REVIEW

Disclaimer: I received the Dream Journal and hey baby sticky notes for free in return for my honest review!

                                                           MY REVIEW

I was so excited when Knock Knock said i can review some of their products. I had such a hard time choosing the items that i wanted because they had so many cute and funny items to choose from. I finally chose the Dream Journal and the hey baby sticky notes. I was so excited that i was able to review the Dream Journal because This may sound weird but a lot of my dreams come true, So i like to write my dreams down to keep in track of them. This journal is awesome it has two pages you fill out about each dream. It has a title and date section that way you know when you had that dream.  Then they have a pretty big section where you can write every detail about what happen in your dream. They also have a check list where you can check what category your dream falls in such as nightmare, fantasy,symbolic,mundane and just plan bizarre. There also is a check list of what was your emotion about the dream such as fear,frustration, lost of self, arousal, humiliation, grief, love, anger, freedom,paralysis,confusion, panic,joy, surprise, vulnerability and other. Then there is a section where it asks you if you have ever dreamed this dream before which is cool so you can keep track of how often you have the same dreams. Then on the second page they have a sketch box where you can sketch out your dream which is fun you can show your creativity side. The last section you fill out is the reflect section where you write what your interpretation of the dream is.  Overall i love this dream journal the layout of it is amazing and i love  to go back and read all my dreams and laugh about them i love that i also has a bookmark so i can mark my favorite dream so i can find it fast. Now on to he Hey baby sticky notes i got these because my husband and i love to write notes to each other. So these are super cute and better then regular paper its great we can stick them anywhere! I love both products i got from knock knock stuff. I love all of their other products and will definitely be buying more products. They have very handy products such as packing list, what we are out of, to do list and etc. I,am so in love with this site you definitely need to go check it out to not only buy stuff for you but there is also tons of great gifts as well :]

WHAT IS KNOCK KNOCK?

Knock Knock was founded in 2002 by Jen Bilik with the mission of creating witty, design-driven gift products and books, along with anything else that might strike the Knock Knock fancy.

Our products aspire to bring humor, function, organization, and aesthetics to everyday life. We believe that people are intelligent enough to appreciate wit, wordplay, and conceptual thought. Whether we’re producing sticky notes or a volume of thoroughly researched nonfiction, we strive not to dumb down as we create. Our sensibility remains proudly distinct.

The Knock Knock team operates out of a sunny loft in Venice, California, a fantasy locale if ever there were one. We’re a dynamic group who do everything from creating our products and books to overseeing the all-important logistical dynamics of manufacturing, sales, and distribution.

For more on our beliefs and idiosyncrasies, peruse our Philosophy. To learn more about Knock Knock founder Jen Bilik, check out her bio.

PHILOSOPHY

We are Knock Knock, a product design company with aspirations to greatness. We concoct, manufacture, and distribute witty objects of cosmopolitan panache from our shamelessly sunny perch on the left-hand coast. Our domain is desire rather than necessity, though we seek to infuse our creations with utility and meaning.

We believe in the Golden Rule, friendly customer service, and shipping quality merchandise on time, though occasionally we are grumpy, and circumstances beyond our control result in tardiness. We suffer fools not gladly, but for the most part we actually like other human beings. Our customers comprise the impish, the dapper, the droll, the young-at-heart, those who prefer the humor of the truth to false feel-good affirmations.

On the highfalutin front, Knock Knock seeks to integrate art and commerce—creating original, authentic, noncynical products that support themselves in the marketplace so that we don’t have to deal with “clients.” Our inspirations are Charles and Ray Eames and Tibor Kalman, designers who refused compartmentalization and brought intelligence, aesthetics, and creativity to everything they touched.

Rather than a product category, material, or target market, Knock Knock’s unifying force is a sensibility. We channel that sensibility into designing and manufacturing original products, selling primarily to retailers. Also, we read a lot. Following are a few things we believe:

• Ethics and decency are immeasurably important.
• Products should be created with care, whether mass produced or handmade.
• Things should be both beautiful and useful, but they can also be beautiful and frivolous.
• Beautiful, useful things should sometimes be affordable.
• Every once in a while it’s good to notice quality design.
• Craft is important for the soul as well as the hands and eyes.
• Art is not necessarily superior to craft.
• Humor makes everything better.
• Not everything should strive to be accessible to the lowest common denominator, or any common denominator, for that matter.
• Smartness is fun.
• Empty feel-good affirmations are an instant gratification of diminishing returns—slyly interpreted truths last longer.
• Despite the rise of the screen, much that is interesting and innovative can be done with printed matter, though paper should be recycled whenever possible.
• Idiosyncrasy, eccentricity, humor, controversy, and opinion are infinitely more interesting than corporate homogenization, committee-decision-making dilution, and widest-possible-audience scheming.
• Renaissance prowess is more interesting than individual skills specialized to the point of contextlessness.
• Passion, curiosity, and enthusiasm can make anything interesting.
• Good should be rewarded.
• Problems should be discussed and resolved.
• Self-awareness is underrated.
• Mistakes should be admitted and learned from.
• Common sense is uncommon.
• Ego is annoying.
• Turn signals should be used.
• Even though it’s possible to use fewer words than more, why?

Happenstance landed Jen in coffee-table books, exciting mini-productions unto themselves with graphic designers, illustration sources, four-color printing, authors, and copyediting.

While serving as the point person for text on late-breaking books, she inadvertently enjoyed a series of deskside internships in graphic design. After a freelance stint that included editing many books as well as co-authoring two (Todd Oldham: Without Boundaries and Women of Taste: A Collaboration Celebrating Quilt Artists and Chefs), Jen moved to Los Angeles to ponder how she might make her elusive mark. A few years and a million head scratches later, Knock Knock was born out of Jen’s desire to play with paper and wit.

For Jen, the Who’s There family represents a stimulating culmination of many interests—art, craft, business, strategy, printing, writing, coordinating, managing—and she keeps them all well-honed by serving as the company’s lead writer, head honcho, and creative director (aside from all the other boss stuff).

With Knock Knock, Jen and the team seek to create products distinctive in concept, content, and design, immune to the disease of committee homogenization.
