Holiday Gift Guide: Nicobella Truffles Review and GIVEAWAY!!!

Image
Oh, you guys.. I hope you are ready.. This is a good one.  Nicobella is a company that sells Organic Vegan Dark Chocolates. They specialize in the most amazing truffles ever! The difference is that Nicobella replaces the cream and sugar that is typically used in the filling of the truffles with vegan natural ingredients such as agave nectar or brown rice sryup. And the result is pure bliss!!! I received a ton of samples of Nicobella's wonderful chocolates to review. They have so many unique flavors, it was hard to choose my favorite! I would have to say that I love the Pumpkin Chai and the Blueberry Almond the best! They also have other great flavors like Ginger Green Tea, Sunflower Banana Butter, Walnut Flaxseed, and Pure Cocoa Bliss. I was a little worried about how the truffles would be, since I don't know much about Vegan or Organic foods. I was afraid they wouldn't taste as good as "regular" chocolates. I am happy to report that I think I honestly like...

Holiday Gift Guide: Spoonful Of Comfort Review and GIVEAWAY!

Image
Oh, you guys. This is a good one.  You guys know that Mama is a sucker for a story, and a sucker for food. Deadly combination.  This company has stolen my heart. And wait until you hear what you they do.  They deliver homemade chicken soup. I know, right? What a freakin' brilliant idea.   Read the story about how Spoonful of Comfort was born:  "In October 2007, I received the phone call from my mother that she had been diagnosed with Lung Cancer. I was shocked, scared and panicked. The hardest part about hearing the news, was that she lived in New Brunswick Canada and I lived in Florida. More difficult still, I had just returned the day before from a trip visiting her. With two young children in school, I couldn't just turn around and go back. I was so upset and felt helpless being so far away. I needed to "Do Something". I looked into sending flowers or fruit, but nothing seemed appropriate. I wanted to show her how much I cared, and in some w...

Holiday Gift Guide: Oneida Culinaria Dinnerware (Mama's In Love!)

Image
Ohhh, you guys... I am swooning. I wish I had a recent picture of myself swooning, but alas, I do not. So, look at these, and think of me swooning.  Okay, so that last one is a swan, but whatever. You get the point. I recently got the opportunity to review some extremely gorgeous dinnerware from Oneida. Now, I have heard of Oneida before, but I usually think of them for their beautiful flatware. I was very surprised to learn that they have so much more!  There's the Sassafras line, full of children's baking and cooking products:  And look at these Margarita Glasses! You know Mama likes these ;) They even have some really gorgeous holiday items! But anyways, back to the dinnerware. Geez, focus.  Oh, it's so lovely. That color, in case your wondering, is called Porcini.  Here's what the Oneida website says about the Culinaria line:  A Brilliant Statement. Enhance your table with the Culinaria dinnerware collection, a solid color pattern t...

Happy Thanksgiving!

Holiday Gift Guide: Imagination Box Company

Image
It's a fact that every parent knows to be true. No matter what gift is inside, 9 times out of 10, your little one is going to end up playing with, none other than the box! I must admit that most of my favorite childhood memories, are of playing with this giant refrigerator box that was in our basement. Ahh, good times!  Imagination Box Company is bringing back those good times with their 100% recyclable toys. They have several different toys to choose from, from a barn to a castle tower, even a schoolhouse or a cottage.  All of Imagination Box Company's toys are American Made green toys. The toys are printed inside and out with designs hand drawn by the company owners. The toys are paintable, and each come with their own set of washable, non toxic paints. You can also use markers, stickers or crayons, whatever you prefer. Imagination Box Company's toys are great for playing alone or with a group!  We received the schoolhouse to review. This was a perfect choice sinc...

Holiday Gift Guide: Zippo Candle Lighters (perfect stocking stuffer!)

Image
You guys know about my obsession with candles. I love, love, LOVE candles, and they are always on my Christmas list. However, that also means that I have probably, no exaggeration, 15 candles sitting around that are almost, but not quite, burned up. I can not get my fat ass hand down inside the candle with a lighter, and if I do, then my hand comes out covered in black soot, and I still can't get the candle lit. But, I just can't bring myself to throw them away, because I love them so, and I know they still have a lot of life left in them. Enter my new fave stocking stuffer. These, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, (I have just always wanted to say that in conversation okay?), are Zippo Candle Lighters. Aren't they pretty? Collective Ooohs and Ahhhhs, now! I was pretty pumped to try out the Zippo Candle Lighter, and good thing, because it arrived super fast, and cute too! Look at this adorable package! It's already ready for gift giving!!!
