I’m Back

I’m back.  I’ve had some health problems over the past two and a half years ( and counting ). But I am going to try to get back into this.

With this pandemic I’ve been working on some new projects and new ideas. Attacking everything from making doll clothes for my granddaughter’s Barbie to gardening. Crocheting, painting, cooking, baking, cleaning, watching too much TV, games online, puzzles,…

January Monthly Subscription Box Review: Stars Hollow Monthly by Lit Cube

Written by my daughter: B.B. With the Gilmore Girls long awaited revival behind us, diehard fans like me need something to fill the void now that the anticipation has subsided. When Lit Cube’s monthly subscription box caught my eye on Facebook, I knew it was something I needed to take advantage of. My first month was December’s box, which came slightly late due to shipping issues at no fault of…

2017: Year of the Subscription Boxes

New Year, New Me! Happy 2017! Seeing as it’s been almost a year since I’ve posted anything, I took some time to try and come up with some new, exciting things to discuss. Right now, subscription boxes are all the rage! So I figured, why not try a couple out and see what all the fuss is about. In 2016, I tried a few and was left a little meh. Here’s a quick review of the ones I’ve tried: Blue…

Lux Essentials Deluxe French Press Set Review

Like most other people, I have become very attached to K-Cups, using them almost daily to get my usual caffeine fix.  But recently, I’d been wanting to cut back on my use of them, and to get back to using normal coffee grounds instead. I was delighted to get a chance to try out this French press, which would be my first time drinking coffee brewed this way.  The set came with everything needed,…

Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Film Stickers Review

As many of you may have read earlier this year, I reviewed the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 camera. Awesome for parties and weddings, great way to sent people home with a little photo of the event. Greatest part is that they are instant, just like the old Polaroids used to be. Now there are awesome ways to dress up these photos from Drab to FAB! For less than $8 right now on Amazon, you can get your…

Midori Spring Matcha Shortbread Cookie Recipe Review #midorispring

In the dead of summer, I hate turning the stove on during the day. Even with AC it heats up the kitchen to unbearable degrees. But it’s been mild temperatured lately with little humidity, so I told my grandson we could make cookies. Having received a can of matcha from Midori Springs, I knew I wanted to do some cookies with it I was just waiting for the right day. So off to the interwebz I went…

  This set of Acrylics is an excellent set for any artist to have on hand. I don’t paint as much as I used to in college, but getting this set has given me a newfound love for it. Getting in the spirit of fall approaching, I painted a Still Life of gourds and squash. The color selection, as you can see, is awesome and the paint is nice and smooth to work with. Check them out on Amazon. For the…

FlavFusion 25 oz Infuser Water Bottle with Locking Flip Top Lid Review

*I received this item for free in exchange for an honest review* I’ve wanted to try infused water for a while and had a hard time figuring out the right bottle, so when I was asked to do a review for this I jumped at the chance to try it out. And the #FlavFusion water bottle is a great flavor infused water bottle! I know I will be using this for the rest of summer and beyond! What I liked:…

LaNouvel Cellular Hyaluronic Acid Nutri Serum Review

*I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review* I’ve tried numerous creams to moisturize throughout the years and while it’s not classified as a moisturizer, this is by far one of the best I’ve tried. It’s more of a gel than a cream and I find that it does a better job than the creams. It has a cooling effect that I really liked (especially in this heat wave we are currently…

UNi 100% Organic Moroccan Argan Oil Review #argan

*I received this product for free in exchange for an honest review* What I loved about this oil was that it was not only Organic, but it’s 100% pure with nothing added. I’ve read so much about the benefits of Argan oil that I couldn’t wait to try it out. Unfortunately, it did not work well with my hair, which is what I was most looking forward to. My hair is very dry and damaged at the ends but…

Multipurpose Round Pot Holder Review #pratipad

When I sign on to do a review, I try to make sure its for a product I can compare and contrast to other products in the same category. So when I saw these neat potholders, I couldn’t pass it up. I mean, who doesn’t use potholders. I gave one to my daughter and kept one for myself so we could get a better grasp on the pros and cons. I loved the style, that they withstand heat better than my other…

Here is a product review for Brilliante Manual Coffee Grinder from my daughter, Holly: I was asked to do a review of this handheld coffee grinder.  As a coffee enthusiast, I was happy to oblige.  Normally, I always bought my coffee pre-ground, or used Keurig cups, so this was a new experience either way. One of the positives of this product was clear off the bat – it’s a small, compact design, so…

RFID Blocking Sleeves Review #BLOCKIT

*I received this product for free for an honest review* I recently was asked to do a review on some RFID Blocking Sleeves for credit cards through Tomoson. You have probably seen these all over the place these days with all the credit card scamming going on. I was pretty interested in these because my credit card was recently compromised through the internet, which the blocking sleeves can’t help…
