Tree Hut products are wonderful, and they’ve made my skin a whole new level of soft.  I love the way Tree Hut leaves my skin feeling.  I’ll never use another lotion, or scrub, forever.  The scrub leaves me feeling fresh, and clean; while the lotion leaves me feeling silky smooth, for a wonderful feel.  I’ve even used it on my 8 year old, son.  The Shea Scrub cleans him up real good.  He even smells pretty, when out of the tub.  For a long period of time.  I love the smell of the Moroccan Rose scrub. These scrubs, and lotions, are great for anyone.  My husband showered with the scrub the other day.  It left him feeling vibrant, and clean, in his words.  I will be out of my Moroccan Rose soon, and be ordering more.  And, when I do order, I’ll get Shave Oil Deluxe for Free.  That’s what they are offering right now.  So get your orders in. Tree Hut is a fabulous company, and they even play a part in Arbor Day, which was April 26.  Tree Hut gave back 10% of their proceeds, in April, to the Arbor Day Foundation.  That’s Huge, in my opinion.  I…

We finally had a chance to do the Crated With Love Box.  It was so great to spend time together, with some fun activities!  I really enjoyed it, and there was so much to do.  The Date Night box, was just the perfect thing to get us motivated.  The price is great too. Crated with Love has been out since 2014, and this was our second box.  We had a box a few years ago, and this one was just as much fun as the last one.  The Carnival Themed, Crated with Love, was more than I expected.  It really was a lot of fun.  Sometimes, when you don’t have the kids, you don’t want to go out, but you still want to do something.  Well, our son stayed right next door, at Gram and Pap’s house.  So, we would’ve left, and he would’ve been calling.  This way, we were able to stay home, and have just as much fun.  We followed our box, by watching a movie. I loved the games, in this box.  It was so much fun.  And, it was like the fun never ended.  We saved the box, for our next date night.  It’s a super…

We’ve had so much fun, this Summer, playing with PlaSmart’s Watermelon Ball Jr.  My 7 year old really enjoyed the fun that he and his 21 year old sister had with it.  She said those memories will always be there.  They not only swam with it, but played with it in the yard.  Between rolling it back and forth, and tossing it, I don’t know which one they enjoyed more. I love PlaSmart.  They have so many fun things to purchase for all aged families.  Go to their page, and click on “Products” to get the complete list.  But, man, they have some great products. We even have a Plasmacar.  Jacob has had this for a few years.  He and his sister used to ride on it together.  It was so much fun to watch them. There are so many wonderful things at PlaSmart.  You really should go check them out.

Everything But The Bagel is super tasty, and my mother in law agrees!  We bought plain bagels, and toasted, then buttered the top, and dipped with Everything But The Bagel.  It was super delicious!  There was a little Onion taste, mixed with all the other great things that come on bagels.  My mother in law even puts it on plain toast.  Says it gives the toast “added flavor.” I will continue to purchase Everything But The Bagel, as well as other items from Pereg.  The prices are great, for the amount that you get, and you couldn’t ask for a better flavor! My mother in law already asked for the site, so she could see what else they have.  There’s so much to choose from, and it all looks devine!  I can’t wait to get some of the other products, that I’ve been looking at, and try them all. You get 5.3 ounces, and that has lasted us a good while.  We don’t add a ton, just enough to give our food some added flavor.  My mother in law, even put some in her pasta sauce.  It gave it a great flavor.  I wish I would’ve thought of that sooner….

My mother in law has been using Relaxium for about 3 weeks now.  It’s not habit forming, and she loves it.  She has a hard time sleeping, so she said she wanted to try Relaxium.  I gave it to her, and she said, sure enough, she’s getting a great night’s sleep.  And, waking up feeling refreshed. She also said, she falls asleep rather fast, and stays asleep.  Not waking up every hour, on the hour.  Which is what she was looking for.  She takes my son to school every morning, and I can’t have her tired, while she’s driving.  She said, “don’t worry, I feel like a new woman when I wake up”.  That’s great to hear for those having trouble sleeping. The price is great!  You couldn’t ask for a better price, and you can get an additional 10% off, with the pop up.  That’s fantastic savings, for a product that actually works. I’m sure you will love Relaxium, just as much as my mother in law. Relaxium is the only sleep aid developed by a clinical Neurologist.  I know my mother in law loves Relaxium, and she didn’t even know that fact. Ingredients found in Relaxium: • Ashwagandha •…

Cave Tools has a great Grill Pan!  I made eggs and bacon on the grill, and didn’t have an issue.  The grill pan is half solid stainless steel, and half slotted stainless steel.  It’s wonderful.  My mom has always wanted grilled eggs, and now she can have them anytime. I love how the eggs are fully fried, and the bacon is well done.  My 7 year old loves well done bacon, and now I get it well done, every time.  But you can use it for more than just breakfast.  Put your veggies on the solid side, and you won’t lose them in the grill.  No more lost food, I love it! You can do endless things with this Grill Pan.  I can’t believe I haven’t gotten it before now.  My wife loves it too, she gets out of cooking so much, because we’ve been grilling A lot, since receiving the Grill Pan!  It’s better to keep the heat outdoors, than to have it indoors. Features when you order through Amazon Link, directly above: *** INSTANT 10% SAVINGS ON PURCHASE OF 2 OR MORE *** Done For You Grill Marks – Slotted side allows bbq flavors and smoke to come…

My mom is a date freak, so when I offered her a bag of Chocodates, she jumped.  She says the flavors are all delicious.  Not too rich tasting, but just pure heaven.  She likes the Milk Chocolate the best, but she said the White Chocolate, and Dark Chocolate are tied for second place.  She said she could sit down and eat the entire bag.  When I asked for one, she looked at me as if to say, “Go get your own bag!”  I just laughed.  That’s fine, she is my mother, and doesn’t have to share! So, I tried the bag of Dark Chocolate, and she’s right, “Fantastic!”  I was never much into dates, but these are absolutely, without a doubt, out of this world.  If you are a date person, you have to try these, even if you aren’t, you should still try them.  I am not, and thought that they were delish!  Even my 21 year old, daughter, tried them.  We didn’t tell her what it was, and she thought it was great, and asked for more. For some people, there’s nothing quite like the original. Made up of a perfect marriage of premium Arabian dates enrobed in…

My 21 year old, daughter, and I, love My Mighty Magnet.  The refrigerator was a mess, with all of our pictures, but now, with My Mighty Magnet, it’s all organized.  And, instead of all over the fridge, it’s in my office. My Mighty Magnet comes in a multiple of designs.  You will love each and every one.  I am having a hard time deciding which one I want next.  My daughter already picked hers, but when I’m ordering one, I might as well order more than 1.  The designs are so cute/cool, that you cannot have just one.  I already have the clear gems My Mighty Magnet. So easy to use, and you can place the magnet anywhere on the wire.  It doesn’t have to be in a specific place.  This really saves up room, when you want to compact things.  I’ve never been more pleased than I am with My Might Magnet. With my daughter, Sarah, going away to college, this is perfect for her dorm room.  With 9 magnets, she can put her to-do list up, pictures of family/friends, and on and on.  This will make a lot of stuff seem like nothing, in one small space.  But,…

I Feel Pretty is a laugh-out-loud comedy.  We had a ball, watching last night.  My 21 year old loved it, too.  She said she nearly peed her pants with all the hilarity that was involved.  We really got some kicks out of this film.  Amy Schumer is a wonderful actress, with lots of comedy experience.  I will watch this film again, and again.  It’ll never lose the funniness of it. Michelle Williams is another great actress, and was so good, in this film.  This movie is “fiercely entertaining” said Dustin Putman, The Film File.  And, he’s dead on.  I don’t normally watch movies, because I cannot sit still for 2 hours, but this was really worth watching. Here’s a little about the movie: Amy Schumer stars as Renee, a woman who struggles with feelings of insecurity and inadequacy on a daily basis. After suffering a fall, she wakes up believing she is suddenly the most beautiful and capable woman on the planet. With this newfound confidence she is empowered to live her life fearlessly and flawlessly, but what will happen when she realizes her appearance never changed? This hilarious and relatable comedy also stars Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams, Rory…

Big Hero 6:  The Series I loved the movie Big Hero 6, so when I found out there was a series coming out, I had to be a part of it.  It’s absolutely fascinating.  My 7 year old loves it.  We watch it at least once, per day.  I love Big Hero 6:  The Series.  My 21 year old, daughter, even watches it with her brother.  You know sometimes the series are disappointing, after a BIG movie, but not this series.  It’s perfect!  We’ve even watched the movie, a few times, with the series.  It never gets old. The adventures continue for tech genius Hiro Hamada and his healthcare companion, the lovable, inflatable Baymax! Picking up right before the end of the film, Hiro thinks Baymax is lost forever, until he finds the chip Tadashi designed to create Baymax. Hiro immediately gets to work rebuilding Baymax, but his overconfidence and impatience get him into trouble. The stakes are raised for Hiro, Baymax and their friends — adrenaline junkie Go Go, neatnik Wasabi, chem whiz Honey Lemon and fanboy Fred — as they fight to protect San Fransokyo as Big Hero 6. You really need to pick this up, if you…
