Gourmet Gift Basket Review & Giveaway

Gift Basket's are such a great gift for any occasion. You can find something for anyone, even the pickiest people. Gourmet Gift Baskets has the widest variety of high quality gift basket's I have ever seen.  Gourmet Gift Baskets offer's baskets for Anniversary's, Baby Gift Baskets, Housewarming Gift Baskets, and so much more. They have something for everyone.

I love trying new foods...and snacks. I have a sweet tooth, and that not only applies to sugar, but salty snacks as well. I was so excited when I received my Gift Basket from GourtmetGiftBaskets.Com.

The Basket I received  was the Snack Gift Basket - Standard.   My gift basket was overflowing with delicious snacks. I had to contain myself, I was so tempted to dig right in!

Included in this delicious gift basket is:

•  Dipping Pretzels by East Shore Specialty Foods - 6 oz. - East shore is known for their plump and salts pretzel sticks which are meant for dipping.

• Raspberry Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip by Robert Rothschild Farm - 7.8 oz. - This Robert Rothschild pretzel dip is a delicious blend of juicy raspberries, clover honey and tangy mustard. Not only does it have a distinctive flavor, but it's also all natural. Kosher and gluten free.

•   Key Lime White Chocolate Chip Cookies by Brent & Sam's - 7 oz. - Made from scratch, these cookies have a crunchy style and are tangy yet sweet to the taste. The key lime flavor is perfectly balanced out by the sweetness of the white chocolate chips.

• Almond Pecan-dy Crunch by Morley Candy Makers - 9.25 oz. - This gourmet popcorn by Morley Candy Makers is renowned for being one of the best. With whole almonds and pecans, the irresistible buttery toffee evenly coats every bite.

•   Salted Peanuts in Box by Feridie's - 7 oz. - Feridie's uses only the best of Virginia's peanuts, the top 2% of the crop each year. Once picked, they are roasted in pure peanut oil and salted to perfection.

•   Petite Cheese Biscuits by Salem Baking Co. - 1.5 oz. - This beautiful tin is filled with savory, bite-sized biscuits that are baked with finely milled wheat flour and extra-sharp aged cheddar cheese. They are accented with the delicate crunch of toasted rice and a hint of cayenne and paprika.

•   Metropolitan Trail Mix by GourmetGiftBaskets.com - 4 oz. - Our metropolitan mix is all natural and contains exotic fruit like papaya and pineapples as well as raisins, cranberries and bananas. It also has whole peanuts, almonds and pepitas.  It's a natural and delicious snack!

•   Buttered Peanut Crunch by Old Dominion Peanut Company - 10 oz. - These peanut squares by Old Dominion can be found in all of our snack gift basket made with a bit of brown sugar and only the freshest grade AA butter. These ingredients combined with lightly salted peanuts makes for a scrumptious and crunchy treat.

•   Peanut Roll by Dillon Candy Co. - 3 oz. - Dillion Candy starts their roll with a fluffy nougat center which is covered by a distinct layer of caramel and is then rolled in lightly salted peanuts. This amalgam of texture and flavors makes for the most delectable of peanut rolls.

• Coconut Bar by Oskri Organics - 2.2 oz. - This bar is 100% organic made of only fresh coconut and rice syrup. It has a delicious crunch and is sure to satisfy any coconut lover.

Everything in this gift basket was delicious. I was incredibly impressed at the wonderful display of the products, as well as the high quality snacks they use. I wish I could pick a favorite out of the basket, but I honestly can't. I enjoyed everything. Instead of flower's and chocolate, I told my husband to order me a Gourmet Gift Basket next time he's feeling nice. I would enjoy that much more!! Since we are moving this weekend...maybe I will receive the Housewarming Gift Basket!?!?

Brugo Mug Review & Giveaway

The patented thermodynamic science of the BRUGO travel mug gives you the power to immediately enjoy the most vibrant flavor at the perfect drinking temperature. And because you only cool each sip, the remaining coffee stays hotter and more aromatic. Plus, BRUGO’s elegant design and sleek chrome accents will emphasize your discriminating taste.

 When I first heard about the Brugo Mug, I was enticed. My husband was getting so sick of morning coffee being to hot to drink on the commute to work. We always burn our tongue as we eagerly sipped our required morning coffee. The Brugo Mug has solved all of our problems!This patented mug is the only travel mug in the world to have a thermodynamic patented temperature control chamber that makes your coffee fit to sip at the perfect 150 to 170 degrees to stimulate your taste buds for the vibrant coffee flavor we desire.

The Brugo lid has 3 options. The first is LOCK, which seals in the flavor of your coffee. The second is SIP, which allows your coffee to bypass the cooling system, after your brew has cooled. The third is TIP & COOL, which perfects the temperature.

Tip your BRUGO Travel Mug away from you for a few seconds to move your hot brew from the lower chamber to the patented Temperature Control Chamber. Swill with a "brandy" motion to cool that sip to the Perfect Temperature. The longer the motion, the cooler the sip.

Let me tell you, it REALLY works.  I absolutely love my new mug. No more burnt tongues! I would highly recommend this mug. Not only does it work, but the mug fits in most cup holders, is extremely easy to clean, and is very sturdy and well made. Plus, the mugs are extremely attractive, and offered in many different colors.  They would make an awesome gift, I am going to order some more myself to share!

Brugo is now offering 25% off when you buy 2 or more and free shipping on orders over $50.00. See site specials here. The mug retails at $19.95 - or you can win one here!

It's quite impressive. The prices are extremely reasonable, and I assure you the quality of the products are high.

It is of wonderful quality, and I absolutely love it. It's beautifully made. The detail is great, and I would highly recommend Abbe Designs. It fit's my son perfectly too! He loves packing up his backpack when we leave the house full of snacks and toys, since he isn't quite of school age yet!

This backpack would be perfect if you have a little one heading off to school this year. It also could serve multiple uses, such as an overnight bag, or a bag to pack up full of daily items when not at home. Your child will feel so proud caring around their own bag!
They also have adorable backpacks for girls!

It is available in different designs and customizations.

Switching Domain

I am switching to .com or .net 

Does anyone know who I should go through?
I have heard so many bad stuff about everyone, like

GoDaddy, etc.

Opinions? Thoughts?
Any help would be much appreciated.

What a deal!

I ran across a fabulous deal while shopping online, looking for a toy organizer for my son's room.

I found exactly what I was looking for at Walmart.

After comparing prices, this toy organizer was 15 dollars less then what it was being sold at Target, and other stores.

Plus, it has FREE SHIPPING to your home!

So for 45 dollars, plus tax, we ordered this!

I can't wait until it arrives!
Just thought I would share, in case anyone else was interested in finding one.

You can view more information here

These are my own thoughts and opinions, and is no way associated with walmart.com

She's Baaack

Last night, I was released from the hospital. 

I had surgery on my foot Friday morning. I must say, I am a bit taken back. Okay, A LOT taken back. I didn't anticipate for the pain to be this real, and unbearable. We cannot find a medication to control the pain, or even to take the edge off. 

I cannot sleep. and I cannot move by myself. 

I need help doing literally everything, from getting out of bed, getting dressed, going to the bathroom, etc. I don't like feeling so helpless. I can't put any weight on my foot for 8 to 12 weeks.

From what I understand, I had 3 bones in my foot cut, 2 bones shaved down, bone's put in, 2 tendons, including my Achilles, were cut and stretched. I had screws put in, my heel re-adjusted, and a part of my foot fused.

Whew. Bare with me as I may be slow posting new pages on my blog.
To make matter's better, I am moving July 31.

So BARE with me, I haven't forgotten about you!

Want to win THIS ?!?!?!

BOY OH BOY, would I love to win this bad boy!!!

Justice for Juliette

I recently was told about Justice for Juliette.

Juliette was brutally murdered at the age of 2, and justice has NOT been served for this family.

I went to high school with the father, Casey. He was at the time of the murder, and still is, in Afghanistan fighting for our country.

Please sign the Petition to help seek justice for this poor family.

It takes seconds, and please email me if you would like to share this with your reader's on your blog.

You can sign the petition HERE

And "LIKE" the Page, "JUSTICE FOR JULIETTE" on Facebook  HERE

May God bless this family

Corioliss Flat Iron Review & Giveaway

For as long as I can remember, I have straightened my hair. My hair is extremely long, and extremely thick, and without straightening my hair, it is frizzy and unmanageable. My old flat iron was just not cutting it. It absolutely would not get hot enough to battle my hair. 

I was so excited to receive the Corioliss Classic Flat Iron from Misikko, which I had won in another blog giveaway. 

I absolutely LOVE this hair straightener. 

Corioliss Classic Pro Flat Iron Features

• Ceramic plates for negative ions and hair-healthy far infrared heat, creating shiny, frizz-free results
• 1" plate size for easy styling of short to medium length hair
• Straighten, flip or curl
• Heats up in less than 6 seconds
• Adjustable temperature from 140°F to 410°F - great for all hair types
• Convenient on/off switch
• 1 year manufacturer warranty

I love that it has an adjustable temperature. That is definitely it's greatest feature. You will find a temperature to suit your hair,  whether your hair is long, short, thick or thin.

It is so easy to straighter my hair with this flat iron. In no time at all, I have perfect, shiny, straight hair. The Corioliss Classic Pro Flat Iron get's an A+ all around.

You can purchase a Corioliss Classic Pro Flat Iron through Misikko for $89.99 with free shipping.

I am going to be more absent then ever this week, I have to be packed and ready to move by this Thursday, and am having surgery Friday that is going to prevent me from doing pretty much anything.. for awhile. Except, of course, being online. LOL.
