Ice Ball Maker #REVIEW

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.
 The BBQ and family picnic season is upon us...and there's nothing worse then walking away from your drink to say hello to someone and coming back and it's warm because you didn't put ice in or it's all watered down because you used a hand full of chips that melted!! With these ice balls  you will enjoy the real taste of your drink without diluting it.

There are a few simple steps to follow to make some unique ice/drink balls for your next party.

fill
cover
freeze

it really is that simple!!

My only "complaint"  is there's not a well marked fill line...so it took a few tries before I had full spheres. 

Surprise your friends and family with cool ice balls in their drinks---go an extra step and add color or flavor too!!!

BEECH-NUT #realfoodforbabies #Review

In an ideal world, you'd take the time to hand make every one of your baby’s meals. But that’s not always practical; it could mean staying up late on a Sunday night making a weeks worth of food in  the processor-and we ALL KNOW how PRECIOUS SLEEP is as parents...  so Beech-Nut is here to help! With their  new line of baby food inspired by homemade recipes, made with 100% natural ingredients, whole fruits and vegetables, and nothing else.  Promising  to always be clear about what's inside the jars and what our company stands for. 

just as if I made it myself!!!

I was pleased to  have the opportunity to host a party with my Mom's group to sample some of the unique flavors like :
Honeycrisp Apples, Pear & Black Cherry, Pineapple Pear & Avocado, Apple & Aronia Berry, and more!


Check out Beechnut's website  to learn about all 40 flavors.

They come in 3 stages 
1-up to 4 months- most are one ingredient 
2-up to 6 months-Perfect pairings of two or more of  favorite foods.
3-up to 8 months-new textures, new colors that a few new teeth can enjoy.

I had a blind taste test set up for the Mom's with 6 of the flavors to try and see if they could name the food. One Mom got 5 of 6!! Pear & Black Cherry was hands down everyones favorite, with Apple & Aronia Berry a close second.

Party Set Up

Sample Time

Its so yummy  babies will be wanting more!!

They are only LEED-Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design -certified baby food production facility in the world.  They work in a "green" building that's designed, constructed and operated in an environmentally friendly way.

A professional looking mani at home Thanks to #nailcones

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

I must admit my secret obsession is spending hours checking out cute Nail Art on Instagram, Pinterest, YouTube etc...but I'm too afraid to give many of them a try because I don't have the steadiest hands and my fingers just end up looking like a HOT MESS...NO-ONE want to see THAT!! 
Until I tried Nail Cones a great invention from a brand new company  by a woman entrepreneur! Now I can attempt some styles that could stop and pose for the E! Red Carpet ManiCam.


This is an easy to use product that protects your skin when you apply nail polish. It is a sticker that is cut out to form around the nail when the polish is applied.  It is easy to apply and remove. A perfect polish everytime.


To use 
Start with clean nails and hands
Apply nail cone tightly under nail
Polish nails ...LET DRY
Remove cone 

See how cute!!
They are cute in three different sizes I found the smallest I
 used the most, the medium was SUPER for my thumbs.
I didn't need the large at all. I love the colored
ice cream scoops as a gage for what size
to use.

You can buy on-line at NailCones website-- Each package comes with 4 sheets
for a total of 60 Nail Cones!
