Bonefish Grill Restaurant Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.


Bonefish Grill is a great but expensive restaurant I wouldn't go there on a regular basis maybe a special occasion and on Wednesday Night when they have $5 Bang Bang Shrimp which is so delicious by the way. If you haven't tried them go and try them I suggest you too. Make sure you call it may be different depending which location you go to. They do have a bar as well. Great place to reconnect with your family/friends over a casual dinner or maybe just a night out to get away.

I never new that Bonefish Grill served brunch. I only redeemed a $25 Gift Certificate in the mail to use for Bonefish Grill. Although I think they should of gave you a bigger amount of a gift certificate knowing that the place is expensive and you also have to pay the rest of the order + gratuity. 

I am a big Omelet fan so I wanted to try the Western Omelet without any onions, and I love the potatoes gratin so I got that on the side. It wasn't the best omelet I ever had, but it was nice & something different to try and for $8.50 it's an okay breakfast.

Our overall experience was really nice. The people their are really friendly and do their job. Unlike most. Nice environment & cozy. I felt relaxed to enjoy a breakfast with my family.

Planet Buddeez Review

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!

I was able to choose a Planet Buddeez for my 6 1/2 year old son, and I let him choose what animal he wanted and he chose the Penguin. They have a lot of other animals too which you can view. My son wanted the hoodie he is obsessed with hoodies I have no idea why though. He's funny. I love this cute little hoodie and a pocket penguin to go with it he's your very own little friend. How adorable!

All Hoodie ensembles come with corresponding storybook and an adorable stuffed animal that is also a finger puppet. The stuffed toy fits perfectly in the pocket of the tee so the child can take their special buddy wherever they go.

Although the sizes they come in tend to run a bit small I asked for a size 5/6 my son is usually a 6 but most clothes run differently and it was a big tight & short on him, but he still liked it he even wanted to wear it to school one day, but I didn't think that was a good idea because it may have been a distraction with the finger puppet. I told him he could wear it outside and play when he gets home.

Cosmos Creations sent me some samples to review on my blog. Cosmos Creations use only natural ingredients and every bag is pure, natural corn, baked in the oven. I love their products. I love that it's something new & it's puffed corn. It taste so delicious. The flavors I were given were:

Sea Salt & Butter
Salted Caramel
Caramel
Cinnamon Crunch

I had given a few to my pop-pop, mom & step dad to all try this goodness. My mom of course loved the Coconut Crunch she's really a big fan of coconut so she said it tasted wonderful & she wanted more. My step dad loved the cinnamon crunch something different he said but he did enjoy it. My pop-pop tried the cheddar & cracked pepper he loved it. The most 100% thing I love about these is that there is no kernels! These are really good snacks for the whole family to enjoy!

Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash Review

Disclosure: I received these products free of charge. I am a Purex Insider!


I was sent a bottle of their NEW Lotion Infused Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash. I was qualified for a promotion on Purex Insider! If many of you know me I am a huge fan of body wash. I have about 15 bottles whenever it's on sale or I have a coupon I go right to the store and purchase. I actually never heard of this brand before called lotion infused body wash something new to me & I was really excited to try it. It felt soft on my skin and if you want healthy skin this is the product to go for. The lotion infused formula has a moisturizing vitamin complex that helps draw moisture directly to your skin. It'll make your skin look healthy.

I was also sent two extra coupons to get the NEW Lotion Infused Dial Vitamin Boost Body Wash and I gave one to my grandpop & mom. I also got the Dial Power Scrub for my husband. He likes having his own body wash scrub so I thought that it was nice for Dial to have Men's products too.

Earnest Eats Review

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!

Baked in small batches in real kitchens, our foods are crafted with premium, whole food ingredients that you can see and taste in all their delicious and nourishing glory . . . to read more about Earnest Eats click here



I was sent a few selected products from Earnest Eats to review on my blog. I simply asked for a few favorites. For instance I asked for some Granola Bars and some of the flavors I were sent were: Power Grains & Flax, Superfood Trail Mix & Dark Chocolate Almond. I wanted to try all three of these flavors because they all sounded delicious & healthy. I knew my husband would love the trail mix because he eats the trail mix in the bags and they have so much nutrients in them like omega 3s and if you watch Dr. Oz he always mentions omega 3s. I was actually blown away at how good it tasted I could taste the pomegranate which I usually don't really like but loved it in the granola bar and love the crunchy almonds. My grandfather liked the dark chocolate almond ones. Dark chocolate is always good for you.


Next I asked for some Granola Planks which I got Maple Almond Crunch & Pomegranate Walnut Crisp. I loved the Maple Almond Crunch a whole lot. It tasted like a big thick cookie. Loved all the organic oats in it and dried fruit it was delicious!


I was sent some Energy Bars these were the only ones I did not like it had that bare taste to it which I didn't like and it was bitter. I got Chocolate Peanut Butter & Almond Trail Mix. I gave these to my husband & grandpop.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Energy Bar.


They even were generous enough to send me some Hot Cereal. I did not try these yet unfortunately I am not really a hot cereal oatmeal person but my husband & grandpop are so they will have these.

I was sent a basket of Kernel Season's Popcorn Seasoning to review on my blog. I love how cute they sent me a popcorn basket type box & added 2 packages of popcorn & about 8 seasoning products yippee!


These are the 8 seasoning products I got to try. Can you say deliciousness. I can. I was beyond excited and thrilled to try these out. I love my popcorn flavored if that I like my popcorn buttery but not to buttery because that is bad for you especially movie theater popcorn. oh my goodness! It's just better to bring your own zip-lock bag of own popcorn (:

Flavors that were sent to me were.....

White Cheddar
Bacon Cheddar
Caramel
Butter
Kettle Corn
Garlic Parmesean
Ranch
Nacho Cheese

I was really disappointed I didn't receive the Cheesy Jalapeno because I love spicy stuff & I love anything flavored like jalapeno.

Check out all the flavors I mentioned & more (here)



The first three that we tried were:

To the left is White Cheddar because I love cheesy stuff remember in the middle we have bacon cheddar which was my son's favorite to the left we have the caramel. The white cheddar tasted phenomenal the bacon cheddar I didn't really like because I am not a fan of bacon. The caramel wasn't to bad either.


Me & my family had a fun night putting a few selections of seasonings on our popcorn. My husband even said we could put some of these on top of our salads or soups which is also a great idea. Thanks to Kernel Season's Popcorn Seasoning. We love your products!!!

Victoria Footwear USA Review & Giveaway

Disclosure: I received these product/products mentioned on my blog free of charge for the purpose of this review my opinions are my own and may differ from yours!



Victoria was founded in Spain in 1915 in a small town in La Rioja, when its founder Gregoria, had the idea of creating a shoe named after his wife Victoria, who he had married the previous year. Since then, many people have worn the name Victoria on their shoes, especially during the seventies and eighties, when the Victoria canvas shoe became an essential part of Spanish fashion . . . to read more about Victoria Footwear click here




I got to choose a pair of shoes on Victoria Footwear website and I chose the "Safari Lona Tintada - Beige". I wanted to try a pair of different shoes usually I get Etnies from PacSun, but that has been ages ago since I got a pair. I am always looking for nice & comfortable shoes especially for work. These shoes are actually very comfortable you just have to get used to them and wear them a lot to get used to and worn in.


The Victoria Safari Lona Tintada is a stylish lace up mid-top sneaker.



These classic European tennis shoes are made up of 100% natural cotton grown in Spain and natural rubber.

Color: Light Tan

Made in Spain. 

 I asked for a size 10 and they were perfect size not to big or small just right. I love the color too because I do wear beige pants to work and they match just a little darker, but they still look nice & presentable. I like how they aren't high top I like the way they are. I couldn't have picked out a better pair from Victoria Footwear!

Jewelry in Candles Wax Tart Sample Review

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

I was sent a Jewelry in Candle Wax Tart Sample to review on my blog from Tomoson.com. I was approved for this promotion. Although I wasn't really aware that I had to have a warmer to actually use the product silly me thought I was getting an actual size Jewelry Candle, so I have been waiting for my order to come in of a Warmer so I can use this cute little flower shaped wax tart sample. 

Christina Hamdan's is a Representative on Jewelry Candles and the little samples do not include jewelry they are only for sample and aren't for resale. I am not sure what scent I got it didn't really smell like nothing when I smelled it maybe like a sweet tart cherry not really sure to be honest, but these would be perfect for a bridal shower gift for every person I think in my opinion because they are adorable and not that big they are an actual size to be put in a warmer but as a gift for everyone it makes it perfect!

I was sent a SlideBelt to review on my blog. To tell you the truth I've never heard of a SlideBelt before but it sounded pretty interesting especially men and their Belts. They have different collections of SlideBelts I so happened to get the Cognac Premium Full Grain Leather Belt.


You cut your own length belt which is pretty neat. I gave mine to my grandfather who actually really liked this product and thought it was really neat you can slide the belt the way you want it with the clip in the middle the chrome color part.

He said it was very sharp meaning he really liked it. It was very easy to adjust and he wears it almost all the time.

 Thanks to SlideBelt my grandfather now wants to collect more than just the Cognac Premium Full Grain Leather Belt lol maybe I'll have to suggest early birthday gifts just maybe (:

 I got to choose a custom  handbag to review on my blog from Artisan and I chose the Betsy. I really fell in love with the over the shoulder bags they seem to really be in style this time around, and I really like them especially when you are going somewhere quick & don't want to carry that full purse that you have because my purses tend to get quite heavy & I love big handbags, but I did recently take this with me to my trip to Florida/Bahamas Cruise Ship and it was really convenient for me.

 Letter B is what I got that is shown on the lady to the right but with a different style. I wanted a zebra print for me. It has a zipper pocket on the outside as you can see shown in my picture the white strip is the zipper and I stored $$$ in that part and my passport and other small things in the main pocket.

Bixbee Store

Yet few have the chance to turn those dreams into reality and spread goodness beyond a close circle of friends, a neighborhood or community . . . to read more about Bixbee click here


I chose the Sparkalicious Large Duffle - Turquoise & Sparkalicious Wristlet- Turquoise to review on my blog from Bixbee. I chose this color because my sister loves blue and I also go this for my younger sister Abby. She's a active little girl & she is so petite and does a few sports like gymnastics. I thought she'd could use this bag for that and sleepovers at her girlfriends house.

My sister Abby. She actually that night was going to a sleepover so she had everything packed in her awesome new sparkly duffel bag. She loves the wrislet too she takes it every wear when they walk to this local restaurant down the street from my house with her friends. She can carry her iPhone with her & some money small things of that nature and of course some chapstick. Why I think these products are a must because the glitter does not flake off like most glittery products and it's stuck on your couch or clothes. I just hate that!

They also come in Pink & Purple.

Here at Oogie's, we are popcorn lovers! It started as a fun experiment in our kitchen and sparked a natural popcorn revolution . . . to read more about Oogies Gourmet Popcorn click here
I was sent some delicious gourmet popcorn from Oogies. I got 8 bags of popcorn (: I was waiting for this to come in the mail because we love popcorn and it's super yummy when it's flavored.

The flavors I got were the following: 
Cracked Pepper & Asiago
Hatch Chili Con Queso
Kettle Corn
Movie Lovers Butter

Spicy Chipotle & Lime
Sun-Dried Tomato & Parmesan
White Cheddar 

White Cheddar was my favorite as always. I love anything that has cheese. I love their popcorn because their weren't so many kernels in their popcorn and because they are all natural, gluten free, whole grain, kosher, cholesterol free, trans fat free. Deliciousness!


Spicy Chipotle & Lime was really delicious too. A little hint of spiciness but very good. Me & my grandfather liked it a lot we almost ate the entire bag in one day it was that great!
