If you know me their is one thing that I love more than anything and that is a love for taking pictures and just capturing memories with family/friends. I recently had gone on a Cruise Ship with my mother. There wouldn't be anyone else I would rather go on the trip with than her and we had an amazing time. VivoPrint gave me a $50 gift card to use to shop on their website and I looked around and came across this lovely Cherry Tile Frame that I just needed to get for myself a frame of my trip to the Bahamas especially the beautiful water there it was a great memory for myself. It's a 4x4 frame and it's ideal for hanging on your wall in your home or at the office. I prefer the home.

For now I did end up putting my custom photo tile frame on top of my jewelry box until I find a place to put it in my room. We are actually living at my grandpops so I am sure I will find a suitable spot for this tile frame (:

The next item I purchased was the Personalized Photo iPhone 4 Case 4/4s for my 2 sisters Danielle & Abby. They chose the Collage Case the Basic one. They thought this was really neat and they fell in love because they love taking tons and tons of pictures especially my sister Abby who is a goofy person sometimes. They both picked out great pictures to go along with their iPhone Case.

My sister's with their iPhone Case this is their new case and they love it and showed all their friends they thought it was neat and they couldn't be more happy. When I was uploading them you have to make sure you get a far away picture not to close or else it will be blurry and won't really look nice. The far away ones came out better and it was more easy to custom better. Just a little tip.

Manna Organics Bakery 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!


MANNA BREAD® is remarkably simple and wholesome, made entirely from sprouted organic grains, seeds, fruits & nuts. It contains no salt, leavening, yeast, oil, or sweeteners. By fully germinating our grains, we convert the starches into easily digested natural complex sugars, similar to those found in fresh fruits, hence the sweetness. The sprouts are ground and hand-shaped into loaves, baked at a low temperature, then packed and frozen to preserve shelf life, without any chemical additives.


I've never heard of this company before called Manna Organics. When I think of organic I think really good and tasty food, but very expensive. I was able to choose 4 products from Manna Organics Bakery and I choose the following:


Manna Organic Breads are moist and delicious, high in protein and fiber. The Manna Bread appears to be small in size, but is defiently a good amount because the Banana Walnut Hemp Bread lasted about a week for me & my son when we ate some for breakfast with honey for my son and I had some light spread of the Manna Butter Cinnamon Chili on mine which by the way was great. My husband loved it! All of the Manna Bread loaves that I tried had a great thin, but perfectly hearty and crispy crust when I took it out of the toaster. I have to say I love that there was no sweetener added and loved how moist it was but just maybe something to sweetened it a bit like some cinnamon.

 (From Manna Organics Bakery Website)

 I was first introduced to Raisin Bran Bread when my mom bought it and toasted it up in the toaster and put some peanut butter and honey on top, and this is exactly what I did with this Manna product, and it tasted so heavenly good. My son enjoyed it as well.

Manna MunchiesTM Banana Coconut was my last choice, and I had set it on the table to let everyone try some and I think my grand pop took the bag and didn't stop eating it, LOL.. So I didn't get to try this one, but I bet it was good because hence the bag was gone before I could even get some. No worries. I think I loved my Gluten Free Raisin Bread the best!

LoBue Citrus 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!

We contract with growers to harvest, grade, package, and/or market a wide variety of citrus products—including navel oranges, mandarins, specialty citrus, lemons and juice . . . to read more about LoBue Citrus click here


I was sent 3 bags of Heritage Reserve Navel Oranges from LoBue Citrus. I was really excited because our family we love fruit, and oranges are always nice & juicy & they are actually really good for you too. I've never heard of the brand LoBue Citrus before so I was eager to try these right away. My pop-pop was actually pretty excited as well when I brought these in he was excited to try them as well.

They are actually in season so they were extra delicious & juicy. I cut mine up and actually made quite a mess with them because they were so juicy. Anyways a couple months ago we were on a cruise me & my mom and the cruise ship actually had oranges cut up so nicely and for breakfast I would always grab tons of them they were so delicious almost as delicious as these Navel Oranges but way more juicy & sweet. We have a good amount we could probably make our own orange juice. I also love that they are seedless. I love Heritage Reserve Navel Oranges!!!

Birmingham Chocolates were generous enough to send me some samples to review on my blog. I was super excited because what girl doesn't love chocolate? I don't think I could live without chocolate, haha.. Anyways . . .  I was sent the following from Birmingham Chocolate,

Almond Bark in Milk, White, Dark & Oreo
Oreo Cluster in White Chocolate
Peanut Butter Cup in Milk Chocolate

Milk Chocolate Pretzels in Milk, White & Dark
Sea Salt Caramels & Caramels in Milk
Also some other assortment chocolates that Birmingham put together which looks something like this,

Top to Bottom
Left to Right (2 each)

Butter Cream (milk)
Maple Cream (milk)
Guinness (dark)
Jamaican Rum (dark)
Lemoncello (dark)
Raspberry (dark)
Irish Cream (milk)
Butter Pecan (milk)
Oreo Cluster (white)
Peanut Butter Cup (milk)
Salted Caramel (milk)
Caramel (milk)

---------------------------------

I am a huge milk chocolate fan. My husband loves dark chocolate. I can eat a little bit of dark depends on the taste some are really bittersweet and some dark is fine and I'll eat it, but I just hate that mild taste of dark. I let my husband have the dark chocolate ones.

I tried the salted caramel & peanut butter cup. The salted caramel was excellent of course. I loved the taste & with the bite of that sea salt on top made it really good. The peanut butter cup was really good too. I wasn't expecting it to be all milk and like no peanut butter in the middle it was just flavored but still very different & tasty. My husband tried the Jamaican Rum and he loved it. I tasted a little bite but didn't really care for it. My pop pop tried the Lemoncello he loves lemon flavored so he really enjoyed it. We all have our different taste buds and we enjoyed a little bit of everything. I also love their signature designs they have on their chocolates very creative & presented nicely.

The chocolate covered pretzel kind of tasted like a cookie type. Nothing like a pretzel. Still love the texture & taste though pretty good.

Almond Bark was delicious. I loved the white it was so good & delicious. I knew I had to stop eating them and save some for later tonight when me & hubby watch a movie. Overall I really loved all the chocolates from Birmingham and the ones I picked out as well especially the caramels they get me every time.
Easter is coming up very quickly you can orders something from their website & get your special someone something you won't want to pass this up, check out their website for more detailed information on their chocolates & gifts at http://www.birminghamchocolate.com/

 Black

 Onzie let me choose something to review on my blog. I ended up choosing the Onzie Cardigan in Black for my Mother. Why I chose this for my mom is because they didn't have my size. No worries. My mom loves getting new stylish clothes all the time. I thought she may like this a lot because it's a yoga type of clothing and she works out so this would be perfect for on the go for her when she goes to her work out classes.

Knowing my mom she loves the color black. I would of gotten her the white, but with white you can never keep clean. This cardigan comes in one size to fit all. It's also a great cover up under a really nice tank top or something to go out with to a nice restaurant or simply grab a drink at the bar. It's also free flowing and has a feminine design.

The back view of her Cardigan. She says that she really loves how tight it is around her arms. The fabric is really nice & silky.

They have really nice leggins on their website. Onzie is a great website to get nice trendy Yoga Clothing & Workout wear. Check out more at http://www.onzie.com/

Lunatik Athletiks 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!

Lunatik Athletiks is an athletic apparel company created with the extreme athlete in mind. The dictionary definition itself identifies a "lunatik" as being "wildly or giddily foolish, insane, and is characterized by eccentricity", all of which have also been used to describe particular athletes . . . . to read more about lunatik athletiks click here


I received a Zuza to review on my blog. I was given the Compression Socks in Energetic Argyle. I have to say these are one heck of pair of socks. I love the color nice and bright. These socks reduce swelling, relieves and energizes tired, aching legs. This would be ideal for my mom since she has lupus. Improves blood flow and decreases the rick of varicose veins (whatever that may be) Ideal for prolonged standing, sitting and long distance travel. I would wear these for work because I am standing but walking to but when I ring up customers I am standing for periods of time, so I will have to try these out one day when I work at cashier.

 Half way on they are really tight to get on. I felt like I was putting on really tight tight leggings, LOL. Hilarious! It was a tight fit. Taking them off to was a hassle and a workout it felt like.

 I'll have to show my mom these socks and let her try them on. Sometimes she can't feel her feet/toes they get numb and I think these would help her out a lot with what is going on with her with circulation. You never know!

HOTTT.com 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!


I was given the chance to choose something from HOTTT.com, and I chose the Leather Wrap Bracelet in Mint. I really don't own a lot of bracelets so I wanted to get one. I love jewelry and I love wearing necklaces and earrings, but I wanted to have more bracelets too. I thought this one was really nice the gold & mint color got my attention and so that is why I choose this one for myself. Although it's rather hard to adjust on my wrist. I couldn't quite figure it out neither could my husband. I'm thinking in my mind maybe I should of picked something else out, LOL. The way it looked on the girl in the picture on their website fit her perfectly and I liked it on her. Sometimes when we pick out jewelry we tend to like it better on the display than we do ourselves at least that is what I feel sometimes, and this is one of those moments.

I guess some of us just don't have the wrist. I think it was a bit small on me which stinks because I really do like it and I will have to give it to my sister or mom. It's very stylish and I am sure someone I know will get to wear it!

I know it looks a little big towards the left side but that is because I was trying to get a still picture. I couldn't snap the piece together and it was on the left side and the other piece was on the right very confusing. I guess me and this bracelet weren't meant for each other. I'll stick to simpler bracelets for now on.

These were my other 4 picks that I loved on HOTTT.com I really loved the necklace, but like I said I wanted to choose something different. Don't get me wrong I am happy with my choice just wish it fit my wrist. I thank HOTTT.com for giving me the chance to review one of their lovely jewelry.

CARAFE Water cup Review

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


I was sent over this CARAFE Water cup with two-compartment pill box inside the cap Review from Sabi on my blog. This is a great product to have. I know this would be great for my mom because at night she tends to forget to take her medicine at night or whichever time it may be and to take your pill well you do need a glass of water to wash it down with, but your laying down or on the couch and just want to relax without getting up and walking to the kitchen to go get a glass of water.

 The Carafe water cup and pill box in one is a great to have on hand. It's all in one and combined all together. The Carafe water cup and pill box is very handy to have around the house or with you in the car and work.



The CARAFE water cup holds 124 ml of water and its pill box features two large compartments suitable for pills of any shape and size. I like this because I can take it anywhere with me, and can just leave it in the car if I am out somewhere it's very handy and that is why I love it.

SHAKE Flip-top pill box Review

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


I was sent a SHAKE Flip-top pill box to review on my blog by Sabi. I have to say that prescription medicine that we take in our everyday life can be tough, but one thing that I hate doing is twisting the cap off because it is child proof, and I thing this Shake pill dispenser is a genius idea. It's simple and easy to accommodate with your everyday life.

Would you rather have have the item to the left of the item to the right? Me deffiently the right! Why? Well because it's more stylish and fun to use. I have this in my purse as we speak. I actually took all my medicine that I take every day and put it in my new pill box. I am so happy to have it. Also with using my original medicine container I won't have to worry now with straining my hand to open it!


This is what the Shake pill bottle looks like when you open the lid. There is a little cork that is on and you can easily take it off and out comes 1 pill instead of more than one with your original medicine bottle.

See how easy that looks. I am so beyond excited to have one of these. I love it and it's easy for my every day life. I couldn't ask for a better product. Thanks to Tomoson for letting me have the opportunity to try this out.

CRUSH by Sabi Review

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

I received a CRUSH Minimal effort pill crusher with pill box inside the cap to review on my blog. I have to say I am not one to take big pills especially really big ones like different sorts of vitamins. That is one of the main reasons why I don't take vitamins is because they are so big, and now that this awesome pill crusher I got all my worries have gone away. I am literally astonished about this product and really happy I was chosen to review one.

 First you twist apart the cap and place the pills in the white cap, and than twist on the blue really tight and it crushes them. I was really surprised and wondered to myself how the heck did that do that. I was amazed literally amazed!

 Ta-da. Really awesome how it did that. At first knowing me I didn't read the directions at first I thought I knew what I was doing I kept pressing the top of the blue part down thinking it chopped like a chopper for vegetables, lol, but than I read the directions and you just twisted the cap really hard and than it automatically just crushes the pill for you. In my example I did two Motrin pills. I can't wait to buy some good vitamins and use this much much more for my daily vitamins! I am so happy.
