Light’s 4 Fun Seasonal Decor

Description:

A charming addition to your Thanksgiving table or fall interior, this ceramic pumpkin décor is a stylish and seasonal feature for your home. Style on its own or with other pumpkin decor for the ultimate display, paired with fresh foliage for a contemporary look. Measuring at 5.5” tall and housing one warm white LED, it radiates a soft glow wherever it goes. Simply insert its batteries and set it to the 6 hour timer for fuss-free illumination at the same time each day.

My experience: I’ve loved both products I have received from Light’s 4 Fun!  (Check out this outdoor lantern I got before summer!)  It’s under a pergola on our deck that is right near our hot tub!  When the sun shines in the winter, it will recharge it so we can enjoy it year round!  

Now they gave me this ceramic pumpkin that lights up!  It’s displayed in my living room and I wish it was something I could display and keep lit all year long.  I think I need a Christmas tree that lights up to take its place in a month!  It fits perfectly on my round shelf, and looks amazing for this time of year!  My husband makes comments each year when I bust out all of the batteries to power all of my faux candles and light strings that make our house glow all winter long!  He thinks we need to buy stock in batteries.  Ha ha!  This pumpkin is new to my decor with lights and will last for years to come.  Since it is white and has a neutral color, I don’t see it going out of style any time soon.  If you need something special to add to your fall decor collection, this lighted pumpkin is it!

CMY Cube: 

Description:

CMY Cubes use primary colors Cyan, Magenta & Yellow (CMY) and are created to help view life & light through a different lens.  It’s a brilliantly colorful sensory toy that is perfect for both children and adults. These mesmerizing cubes are made from high-quality materials and feature a unique design that is sure to captivate both children and adults alike. Thanks to their stunning visuals and endless possibilities for play, CMY Cubes are quickly becoming a must-have for anyone looking for a truly unique experience.

My Experience:  All three cubes now are on display in my 13-year-olds bedroom and she loves them.  When the sun is shining, they reflect rainbow lights throughout her room.  They are fun conversation pieces, and are certainly fun to stare at!  They bring a splash of color to her bedroom and are just fun to have around.  

Everlasting Comfort Faux Fur Throw Blanket

Description:

This is the only double-sided faux fur blanket – the only throw with the same high-quality plush faux fur on both sides. Stop trying to figure out which side of the fuzzy blanket is the comfy side, because they both are!  This large throw blanket measures 50 x 65 inches.  It is designed to be a super soft blanket with just the right weight to keep you warm and cozy, yet it’s light enough so you want to use it in the summer months as well.  Even though it doesn’t feel like it, it is machine washable and dryer safe. Wash with cold water on the gentle cycle. Tumble dry with no heat. 

My experience:  This is by far the softest and best feeling blanket that I have ever had!  It feels like a blanket of kittens!  It’s warm and cozy and you never want to let it go! If you want to give the gift of true comfort and luxury, this is the blanket to choose!

Muslin Blanket For Adults

Description:  

Enhance your home with a stylish muslin cotton blanket that also provides superior warmth, breathability, and softness when it’s time to snuggle up and relax. Best known for baby and nursery essentials, Comfy Cubs offers lightweight, breathable blankets that help keep you warmer during those colder months, but still provide just the right touch of cool comfort during the spring and summer, so you can use them all around the house and all year-round! (Comes in 5 color choices)

Comfy Cubs – Adult Muslin Blanket

My experience: 

This is a soft muslin cotton blanket that I put on top of my comforter at night.  When fall arrives each year, we avoid turning on our propane heat to save extra $$.  That means our bedroom is cold this time of year, until we finally start using our wood-burning stove.  Adding this muslin cotton blanket to the top of my comforter helps seal in the heat and makes for a comfortable night of sleep!  If I had this downstairs on the couch, it would be a blanket fought over between my kids.  It looks great draped over my rocking chair, but it’s even better when I’m using it to actually hold in heat while I sleep.  

Heat Holder Hat and Socks:

Description:

Heat Holders have been recognized as the world’s warmest socks, being 7x warmer than cotton socks and 3x warmer than ordinary thermal socks. Available in three different warmth profiles, Heat Holders assures that their high-performance insulation will eliminate the worry of cold fingertips, ears, or toes! On top of socks, they offer hats, gloves, and even neckwarmers. So if you want to save money and reduce your carbon footprint, this is the solution for you. 

My experience: 

I’ve had Heat Holder socks in the past, and they beat my other wool socks by far in terms of keeping my feet warm.  I always have cold feet and am always wearing slippers.  If the temperatures fall below 70 degrees, slippers are guaranteed to be on my feet.  BUT – if I have Heat Holder Socks on, I may not need the slippers too!  The heat holder socks are #1 in terms of keeping my feet warm!  

The Heat Holder Hat also keeps my ears warm and helps me to actually take walks in the winter when I’d rather be lazy and sit by our wood stove.  Heat holder products truly are the warmest products I’ve ever had.  If you live in a place with cold winters (like I do,) I’d give you all Heat Holder products.  If you’ve never tried them before, now is the time!  They make wonderful gifts!  Try them today!

Spa Technologies – Eco Defense Daily Moisturizer SPF 25

Description:  With an antioxidant-rich formula and sun protection, this everyday lotion helps protect your skin against environmental damage and stressors. Lightweight and creamy with a mild fruit scent, it absorbs quickly, leaves no white residue, and provides the ideal base under makeup. Creating a home spa is a must to help ease our daily stresses and take care of our bodies. Spa Technologies delivers essential items made of seaweed to revitalize the body, mind, and soul. The brand has inspired an industry trend and has been a trusted source for over 30 years.

My experience: 

When you look at the logo, you may think Sfa, Sifa?  (at least I did, along with a friend.  But then my friend finally decided it said Spa!  As in Spa Technology!)  The lotion though is really lightweight and does not smell like other sunscreen face lotions.  It easily absorbs in your skin, smells amazing (a combo of light floral with light fruity), and will not get in the way of other foundation, blush, or bronzer you may add on top of it.

Ooh La La Skincare –

Description:  While there’s no shortage of skin care products, what this brand offers is genuinely unique in its ability to address common skin conditions for both women and men, paying special attention that what is absorbed through the pores is all-natural and beneficial to each individual’s needs. It’s skin maintenance that’s accessible for all skin types, naturally revitalizing and nourishing skin and hair for gorgeous results. The brand offers a creative mix of products with organic raw shea butter and signature scents to wow the senses. Shopping for organic skin care products has never been easier or more fun! You’ll say, “Ooh La La.”

My experience: 

The foam soap was my favorite product in terms of scent.  I’m very happy how my hands smell after using this soap!

The body butter is an intense moisturizer – the type that you’d slather on your hands and wear gloves to bed to get its full benefit!  If you suffer from severe dry skin, this body butter is for you!  It smells like there is cocoa butter in it, but it’s actually shea butter with vanilla oil added to it.  It also has rose and neroli essential oils added to it.  Neroli is honestly a new essential oil for me, and I learned that it comes from orange blossoms, and it helps calm restless minds or stress.  

The body wash also has rose essential oil along with neroli essential oil, which is the perfect combination for hydration.  The rose essential oil really gives the body wash its floral scent, and gives you peace of mind that you are giving your skin extra hydration when using it to clean your skin.  

Skin Essentials Co. 

Description:  Ask medical aesthetician Beth Pestotnik what skin needs to thrive at each stage of life and she’ll tell you to keep it simple. That’s what she’s created with her non-toxic brand of must-have products. The Essentials is Beth’s answer to minimizing the appearance of aging, acne, and other ailments, resulting in smoother-looking skin. Having spent 23 years as an esthetician has given her an insider’s knowledge of what works best for different skin types. You’ll find no harmful ingredients, synthetic fragrances, parabens, or sulfates in the dermatologist-tested offerings. The clinical ingredients provide antioxidant protection, address the signs of aging, and neutralize free radicals.

My experience:  I have the Essentials Kit and here are some things I noticed about the products. The Replenish Antioxidant Moisturizer for normal to acne prone skin is very light weight, and smells like fresh orange peel! 

The Revitalize Hydrating Enzyme Mask has many seed oils in it, smells clean, and also has salicylic acid for acne-prone skin.  You should use this 1-2 times a week.

The Brighten and Smooth Serum is a thicker skin care product that smells again like fresh orange peel.  The smell reflects the vitamin C that is in it to help brighten up your skin.  Use daily and let it soak in before you apply other skin care products.  

The Daily Face Moisturizer also has a light citrus scent and absorbs quickly in your skin.  The scent gives you energy to start your day, and the moisturizer is perfect to boost your confidence to face the day!

Zavor Crunch All-in-One 12.7Qt Air Fryer Oven & Dehydrator with Rotisserie & Racks

Description: 

The summer is winding down, the kids are back in school, and that means falling back into the usual routine, but don’t let that bring you down. With a new season comes delicious new possibilities, especially with the Zavor Crunch Air Fryer Oven. It is a versatile, easy-to-use kitchen appliance that will become your new go-to for cooking this season. Even Forbes.com picked the Crunch Air Fryer Oven as one of their Must-Have Home Kitchen Upgrades!

REPLACES 7 APPLIANCES: Save space and money with this versatile appliance that doubles up not only as a healthy alternative to traditional Oil Fryers, but also as a Grill, Rotisserie Oven, Dehydrator, Toaster Oven, Roaster, and Convection Oven
EASY TO USE: From the limitless number of cooking options the Crunch offers, we’ve selected the 8 most popular ones and built them as presets to make your life easier. These include Fries, Meat, Seafood, Pizza, Chicken, Vegetables, Bake, and Dehydrate.
EXTRA LARGE CAPACITY: 12.7 Quart provides more room for more food and better results while still keeping a small countertop footprint. The Cooking Trays will fit with ample room for air circulation and the Rotisserie Spit can hold up to 4lb of food, perfect for Whole Chickens and Roasts
HEALTHIER & FASTER: Eliminate the need for hot oil and rely on just hot air circulating around the food to achieve the same or better crispy, fried feeling. Its convection technology requires little to no pre-heating time, unlike traditional ovens
INCLUDES: Multi-function Air Fryer Oven with 1700W of power, 2 non-stick Cooking Trays, non-stick Drip Tray, stainless steel Rotisserie Basket, Spit, Forks and Retrieval Tool, Recipe eBook, 1-year Warranty extendable to 2-year at no cost, and Lifetime Free Support

My experience:

We buy a lot of pre-cooked rotisserie chicken for meals like this Chicken Tortilla Soup. They cost $6.99 for a cooked 2 lb chicken.  An uncooked chicken double its size, costs $8.79.  When I use the Zavor air fryer, I can cook a whole chicken, twice the size of what I normally get, and it cost less than $2 to get double the amount of meat!  

Cooking my own rotisserie chickens is only one benefit!  The food dehydration feature is amazing!  We use this to make dried fruit.  My husband wants to try making his own venison jerky this year when hunting season starts.  

This is so much more than just an air fryer, and it truly does replace other kitchen appliances.  Our toaster oven is on the fritz, so we just said goodbye to it since we now have this Zaycor All-In-One!  If you want to make the woman in your life happy this Christmas, get her one of these!!!!!

ekuBOX Holiday Gift Collection 

Price: $79-$225

This curated holiday gift collection has items with Christmas themes and winter inspirations for everyone on your list – especially those hard-to-shop-for folks. You’ll find plenty of goodies in each offering, making the unboxing a delightful reason to celebrate! eku stands for EAT, KEEP, and USE. There’s something to eat, something to keep, and something to use in every beautifully arranged box.  They make outstanding hostess and corporate gifts (just look at the Chocolatta!). There are great options without a holiday theme, too.

My Experience:  I absolutely LOVE olive oil and herbs to dip fancy bread in!  My box had that olive oil, herbs, and tomato pesto.  I haven’t made a meal yet with the pesto, but I have eaten way too much bread and oil so far!  😉

Parker Jotter XL Pink Gold Ballpoint Pen & Sorrento Medium Leather Journal:

Matching simple lines and streamlined aesthetics, the Parker Jotter XL Pink Gold Ballpoint Pen & Sorrento Medium Leather Journal offers an elegant and sophisticated set, perfect for every day. Featuring dusky pastel pink leather coupled with the monochromatic rose gold Parker ballpoint, this set exudes understated luxury. The bigger brother of Parker’s iconic Jotter range, the XL takes the signature jotter design and enlarges it for those whom prefer a chunkier pen. The smooth leather surface of the Sorrento journal lends itself to clear, bold embossing making it a great choice for personalisation. Handmade in Italy, the journal comes with an acid-free and bleed-resistant lined paper, excellently suited for any kind of ink or pencil lead.

My Experience:  First of all, this may be a weird thing to find exceptional, but it’s the blue ink in the pen.  This amazing pen actually writes in blue!  Most “fancy” pens write in black, and I’m just not a fan of black ink.  So the fact it is blue, is a small thing that delights me greatly!  I also love that this is a leather journal made in Italy.  It’s high quality that will last a lifetime.  I’ve had way too many journals fall apart on me before I’m done using them.  This one though, I don’t need to worry about that happening!  Plus just look at that gorgeous wrapping!  That is how it came shipped to me!  Very classy and I loved that detail!

Pantuss Scented Slippers:

Pantuss LLC Warming Aromatherapy Slippers

Description:

The perfect way to wind down after a busy day at work or at home is with Pantuss warming slippers.  Even better, Pantuss makes aromatherapy warming slippers that smell like lavender! To reach the ultimate desired comfort, take out the insoles and heat them in the microwave. The dried lavender flowers and flax seeds create a calming, relaxing aroma and when you insert them back into your Pantuss slippers and slide your feet in.  Pantuss was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, during a cold winter back in 2012. Pantuss’s owners, two sisters, designed their products to be a perfect combination of comfort, design, and aroma. Almost instantly, families started buying Pantuss throughout the country. Their aromatherapy slippers allow customers to relax at home in style and comfort. They are also handmade from eco-friendly, sustainable materials! Pantuss is also now a U.S. certified Minority Business! It was certified by the Florida State Minority Supplier Development Council.

My experience:  

These slippers fit perfectly around your foot!  I can’t explain how good it feels after I put the lavender insoles into the microwave, and then place them back into the slippers and put them on my feet!  Living in the finger lake region of NY means harsh winters.  These are the perfect way to pamper yourself while you keep warm this winter!  These plus either the  Everlasting Comfort Faux Fur Throw Blanket or the Muslin Blanket equal the ultimate warming experience for cold winter nights!

Manuka Honey:

Description:

Manuka honey is a powerful, natural superfood, full of essential vitality and optimized for life. The brand has a complete line of Manuka Honey, a complex and high-strength raw honey from the native New Zealand Manuka tree. As the bees gather nectar from the tree’s flowers, they’re helping bring a vital superfood to the lives of thousands who love what goes into their bodies to boost immunity and overall wellness. This product delivers proven health benefits in gastrointestinal, immune support, skincare, haircare, first-aid, wound care, and oral health areas. Their honey is UMF Certified (Unique Manuka Factor), an important accreditation representing authenticity and the highest testing standards for any honey in the world. Try incorporating this honey into your daily routine this fall. You won’t regret it!

My experience:

This honey is the real deal!  When I opened up the canister and peeled off the plastic top (which had honey stuck to it), I just licked it and enjoyed the intense honey flavor.  It had some small honey crystals in it and it was so sweet and amazing! This authentic Manuka Honey really tastes different from the honey we have here.  It tasted to me like there was cinnamon in it, even though there isn’t.  I want to add it to teas and give it to my kids when they have colds/coughs.  I’d just have a teaspoon as dessert!  It’s the real deal in terms of honey and I would recommend this to anyone!

Gemini Beauty Highlights:

My experience:  I have the Eye Cream with Cucumber Extract. It smells like cucumber and is the most soothing eye cream I’ve ever tried!  I will say though, I’d only wear it at night, as the lotion seems to cake off when it dries.  I wouldn’t want it to get in the way while I was applying makeup.  But it is the most soothing cream that I’d want on my eyes after a day of crying!

Wine Insiders

I actually tried Wine Insiders for the first time when they had their own “Prime Wine Days” sale.  They have some higher-end wines at a significant discount!  If you order a box of 6 or more bottles, shipping is free. 

My Experience:  I purchased a box for myself to try a few and to give as Christmas gifts this year.  I think it is totally worth it for the discounted prices, and for the convenience of home delivery!  There also is no club membership, so you are not required to buy a specific amount each month, which I appreciate!

Description:

My experience:  It has a very mild scent, and you can tell this is a very gentle face cleanser for sensitive skin.  If you have sensitive skin, this is a brand that is a must-try for your daily face cleansing needs!

Hair ResQ Thickening Treatment:

Description:

Get Started on a Natural Journey to Fuller, Healthier Locks With the Hair ResQ Hair Thickening Line

My experience:  I was not aware that caffeine stimulates thicker hair growth!  The peppermint extracts cause it to have a cooling effect on my head while washing my hair.  Since I’ve been battling long covid for 6 months now, I’ve lost a significant amount of hair.  I’m hoping this shampoo/conditioner combo will help stimulate more hair growth!

Bombay Hair Curling Wand Set – 5 in 1 Curling Wand, Professional Curling Iron

Description:  One of Oprah’s favorite things! Bombay Hair 5-in-1 curling wand set made her list in 2021! Bombay Hair tools make it possible to master salon-style from the comfort of your own home. Their biggest sellers are the Hair Waver, giving you those mermaid locks, and their three-in-one wands! The wands are interchangeable, meaning you save some serious drawer space! Made from various precious metals and equipped for long-lasting performance, this brand offers a variety of curling wands, curling irons, flat irons, and styling kits. In addition to hair tools, Bombay has a huge selection of hair extensions. The hair is beautiful, soft, natural hair that is thick from root-to-tip; and there is no silicone used on the hair, so the extensions can be used easily with hot styling tools.

My Experience:  First of all, I LOVED the heat-resistant glove that works for both hands.  I have a cheap curling wand that came with one of those half gloves that just covers like three fingers and it never stayed on and was awkward.  So this glove made me feel so much more confident that I wasn’t going to burn myself in the process of curing my hair.

I also really like the barrel that creates a tighter curl up top.  I always have trouble keeping curls from drooping throughout the day, and this barrel really extended the life of all of my curls!  There are also some great YouTube videos showing exactly how to use this, which is very helpful.  If you want an easy way to curl your hair, with different size curls, and a barrel that gets hot enough – this is totally for you!

PureWine Wand Technology Histamine and Sulfite Filter:

Description:  Wine lovers are in love with Pure Wine purifiers! There’s no better time to stock up on the must-have wine purifiers that eliminate histamines and sulfites while enhancing the wine‘s natural taste, aroma, and color. Whatever your preference, red or white, your drinking experience gets better with PureWine®. It’s no wonder the brand was the “Most Wished For” Wine Accessory during Amazon Prime Day 2021 and the #1 Selling Wine Accessory on Amazon in 2021. See for yourself and grab their latest and greatest, The Phoenix® reusable wine purifier in white, an elegant accent to a bar cart or tabletop. Let’s cheers to your health and avoid the headache!

My Experience:

I bought the cheapest chardonnay at my local liquor store because I know cheap wine has the most sulfites.  I really wanted to see if the taste changed after using the Pure Wine filter.  It for sure was less bitter and I could taste more of a natural grape flavor.  I totally would want to use this for every wine pour, but the filters only last for about 1 bottle.  The fiter I used filled up before I could finish the whole bottle (which means this cheap wine had a lot to filter!) but one filter wasn’t enough.  They now offer a “wand” version of the filter which I think I would like better.  But again, you can’t reuse the filters, so you’d have to stock up for a few bottles of wine.  It does make a difference, but maybe if I spend the same amount on a cheap bottle of wine + filter and instead get a better bottle of wine, would I need it?  If you are super sensitive or are on a low histamine diet (many with long haul covid are), then this could be really handy for you!

My Experience:

I’m still suffering from post Covid POTS.  Symptoms include extreme fatigue, dizziness, fainting, racing heart rate, varying blood pressure, blurred vision, tingly hands and feet, and overall anxiety and depression.  I was just finally recently diagnosed after months and months of appointments with specialists to get help.  So guess what I wear every day?  Pajamas!  I’m desperately trying to get into the Christmas spirit despite this illness, and maybe wearing these Christmas PJ’s more often will help.  These Hello Mello PJ’s are super soft and I love how I can easily toss and turn because they are silky.  I would LOVE to have a set for my whole family so we could have matching ones on Christmas eve.  If you are looking for cozy winter wear (especially if you are wrapping, baking cookies, or watching Christmas movies,) then check out Hello Mello! 

Stocking Stuffer Ideas:

Bare Republic mineral sunscreen lotion (stocking stuffer)

Description:

1. Mineral SPF 30 Body Sunscreen Gel-Lotion – Bare Republic

2. Ultra clean

3. Refreshingly light

4.  Smooths easy over skin

5. Provides hydrating mineral sun protection

Mineral SPF 50 Sport Sunscreen Spray – Vanilla Coco – Bare Republic 

1. Sheer and light but tough enough to prevent burns

2. Offers a layer of physical protection

3.  Enhanced with antioxidant-rich hydrators (grape, raspberry, carrot seed oils)

My experience:  The spray vanilla and cocoa smells amazing and my kids had an easy time using it this past summer.  The mineral face lotion is not oily you can feel the tiny particles of the active ingredients – almost like a very fine clay mask.  It smells fruity and not like other sunscreen lotions.  It has a matte finish so it doesn’t make you look oily if you apply it to your face!

Pan Oxyl Face Wash:

Description:

If you struggle with mild acne on the face, body, or neck, you’ll definitely want to make sure you have a good benzoyl peroxide cleanser that isn’t too harsh or strong. PanOxyl’s Acne Creamy Wash contains 4% Benzoyl Peroxide to help kill acne-causing bacteria and lift first from pores. The wash cleans and unclogs pores on the face, chest, back, and neck. This face wash is a more gentle version of the brand’s 10% wash yet is strong enough to combat the peskiest pimples. This creamy formula is balanced with emollients for a more gentle and hydrating daily cleanse. Don’t let acne get you down! Try this face wash instead. You can purchase it on Amazon or at your local drugstore.

My Experience:

This is a thick white facial cleanser and you can tell has Benzoyl Peroxide in it (you can smell it.)  But that’s good, because I’ve suffered with acne since I was 13 and Benzoyl Peroxide is the one ingredient that actually helps my skin with breakouts.  (That and Retinol.)  My 13 year-old us using this now, and it’s perfect for those young teen acne breakouts.  This is not expensive, and I highly recommend it for anyone battling oily or acne prone skin!  It makes a great stocking stuffer too!

Red Delight Chocolate

Description

RED has all the guiltless indulgence of regular chocolate, but with up to 50% less calories, no added sugar, and 30-40% less fat! Offered in classic dark, classic milk and other delicious flavors like orange & almond. 

All RED bars are:

-Keto-Friendly (dark chocolate flavors)

Steeped Coffee

What sets Steeped Coffee apart is its a proprietary brewing method that does not require machines or brewing equipment, made much like tea. The coffee comes in single-serve bags that are nitro-sealed to ensure absolute freshness. It’s a uniquely “unplugged” coffee experience, from the award-winning packaging made using compostable and renewable materials to the non-GMO filters. All it takes to brew a perfect cup is hot water and a few minutes, and at the end of the day, there are no wasteful plastic pods accumulating in waterways or landfills.

Best of all, each Steeped Pack contains hand-roasted, ethically-sourced, Direct Trade coffee that’s precision ground to showcase the distinctive flavor profile of every crafted blend. Whether you’re looking for light, medium, dark, French roast, or even decaf, there’s something for you.

My Experience:  These are very convenient if you don’t want to make a full pot of coffee!  They are also wonderful to travel with, especially if you are camping.  I will say these need to steep longer than say a tea bag to get a good coffee flavor.  If you like your coffee strong, then I recommend using 2 bags.  I also like it there are no staples in the bags which makes it easy to throw in the compost pile!

Bracelet Hair Ties:

Description:  Why do hair ties seem to vanish whenever we need one? Here’s a way to keep them close by.

My experience: 

My 13 year old has successfully stolen these from me!  I don’t really blame her though.  She normally has a hair tie on her wrist at all times.  She has really long curly red hair and changes whether it’s up or down a few times a day.  Now with these bracelet hair ties, she knows that it will add a little extra design and shine to her up-do’s.  That and she feels better about the hair tie on her wrist, because now it’s a legit bracelet AND hair tie.  Whoever came up with this idea is a genius!  I needed this when I was a teenager.  I’m so glad that both my girls and I will use these and have a bit more style!

My Experience:  I was sent a set of pumpkin spice-scented soap, body butter, and sugar scrub. If you are a fan of everything pumpkin spice, then you would love this set!  But I also want to point out all of the other colorful collections they have (like Rose, Cashmere, and Galaxy).  I absolutely LOVE the untouched spiral top of the product before you use it.  It makes it difficult to dip your finger in and mess up the design.  I was hesitant, but I finally did so I could try the foaming soap.  It was very soft and made my hands feel clean, leaving a lingering scent of pumpkin pie!  I want to try all of the scents!  This is a fun company with colorful products you will love!  These make for great stocking stuffers – or just a nice gift for a friend or co-worker.  It’s unique and useful, and will smell amazing!

My experience:  I received both the Vanilla Bourbon and the Autumn Air.  Vanilla Bourbon was a total winner for me and it is in my bathroom to use as an air freshener.  Autumn Air had a strong apple smell in the background.  If you love apple and cinnamon, this one is for you.  Personally, I’m not a huge fan of an apple scent, but that’s just me.  There are plenty of other scents to try like Tropical Air, Original Citrus, Lavender Vanilla, and Deja Poo.

My experience:  Magnolia Violet was by far my favorite, with Sugar Berry coming in a close second.  They are pretty much opposites though when it comes to scent.  Magnolia Violet has strong floral tones and is more earthy.  Sugar berry is quite sweet smelling, but just as enjoyable.  Good Chemistry offers many scents that aren’t even in this sample kit.  But if you want to try before you buy a bigger bottle, I highly recommend this!

Happy Day Brands:

Description:  Check out this organic coffee from Happy Day Brands! They handcraft their fair trade and certified organic coffee in small batches to create our signature results. Every Happy Day coffee bag you purchase makes a direct impact through innovative non-profit programs across the country that empower people to break the cycle of poverty by providing pathways to self-reliance and providing a meal for those in need.

My experience:  If you are a coffee connoisseur, then you already know that fresh ground whole beans beats pre-ground any day!  I also love the name of this brand, because it matches half of my own brand name!  I also love that the whole beans are organic, and benefits non-profit programs in the US.  This medium bold is perfect it’s not too strong, or too light.  Since I had to freshly ground it, the flavor was very rich.  

They also sell other pantry staples like pasta, flour, baking mixes, and gift boxes!  I’d love to try their gluten-free pasta!  Check out what they have, and you could make up a wonderful gift basket for someone on your gift list!
