Loved + Blessed: Journey box

Image
This is the April box of 'Loved + Blessed' and the theme is 'Journey'. This is the 'Journey' theme card. Life is a journey and what we make out of it from the ups and downs of life is what makes us who we are today.    The sticker says, " Rough roads often lead to beautiful destinations ." Isn't that true? Not all roads can be smooth and if it weren't for the bumps in it, we wouldn't be where God wants us to be and He couldn't shape us well into the person He wants us to be. Our mini poster says, " Don't miss the joy in your journey ." We have a small 'workbook' that reads, "Finding the lessons in my journey". Here, you plot the happiest or one of the toughest times in your life. You would reflect on where you were and what you learned as well as Scriptures that got you through that time and how you applied the lessons and moved forward. Our Scripture card says, " ...

Loved + Blessed: Brokenness box

Image
Here we go! This is March's box and the theme is on 'brokenness'. This month was especially hard as my dear grandmother passed away. We loved her and miss her very much. There is brokenness through loss of life but God is always with us and He can help mend any brokenness. This is the mini poster that reads, "Just when the caterpillar thought its life was over it became a butterfly." This is something where you pick someone and you fill in the blank with a word of encouragement to them. You then post a pic of this card and tag that friend or family member. :) This sticker says, " Don't break down break through ". Love that quote! We're reminded to tear through and stay strong. Here's our Scripture card for the month! It reads, " Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us...

Loved + Blessed: Comfort box

Image
It's time for another edition of Loved + Blessed ! This is an uplifting subscription box for Christians. The theme for the month of February is: 'comfort'. True comfort comes from God Himself. The Holy Spirit knows what we're going through and He is our Comforter in time of need. He's always available to us, whenever and where-ever we need Him.  Here's the mini poster that says, "Everything is going to be okay." It's a great reminder that maybe not everything is okay right now at the moment but it will be. This is the sticker that says, "The best way to get a hug is to give a hug." Very true, love this saying! I like to put these stickers inside of my journal as nice reminders. Here are two Scripture cards! One of them is taken from 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 and the other, Psalms 23:4. Wonderful verses to hold dear to our hearts and minds. This is a chiming necklace that everytime you hear it chime, just ...

Review: CHOMP SNACK STICKS

Image
  I grew up munching on Slim Jim's but, I know they're not healthy for you. So, once I found out about CHOMPS , I couldn't wait to review these and find an alternate to that 'other product'!  About this product,  Chomps Snack Sticks are an awesome new health product made with 100% Non-GMO Grass-Fed Angus Beef which is sourced from New Zealand. The sticks contain no artificial ingredients (no nitrites, nitrates, MSG, colors, flavors) and are shelf stable for a year with the help of celery juice! Best of all, they taste AMAZING!  Think much healthier and tastier version of Slim Jim's.  I was sent 6 CHOMPS snack sticks, 2 of each flavor. The flavors were: Original, Hoppin' Jalapeno and Crankin' Cran. My favorite was the original and I also enjoyed the the Jalapeno which had just a little heat to it. The Crankin' Cran was pretty HOT! :) These had some nice bite to them and not skinny and oily like Slim Jim's are. Also, these sticks were easy f...

Review: imPRESS on nails

Image
I haven't tried press on nails since I was like a teenager. However, I recently had the chance to review the 'impress press on manicure gel nails '! I received 2 packs. One of them has 30 pink ultra shine gel nails with 6 of them being accent (gold/white mix) nails. Very pretty! The other pack is brown has 24 ultra gel shine nails with a couple of decorations to put onto your nails. Love both of these colors as their my favorite. These press on nails secure like glue, are waterproof, gap free seal and their flexible.    So, first, find the correct size. Next, you cleanse the nail, Then, you peel off the backing and align your nail with cuticle. Finally, press down firmly. You can wear them all week long if possible. Mine didn't make it that long as I do wash my hands a lot and I think that had something to do with that! To remove, you just gently peel the nail off from the sides or you can use polish remover. Very easy to remove. No problem! Check out ...

Review: Original Bamboo Memory Foam Pillow

Image
This review is for the ' Original Bamboo Memory Foam Pillow '. When I received the pillow, (see above), it came vacuum sealed. When I cut the plastic off, this is how it looked: (see below) very flat. I read online where people put it in the dryer for a little bit to fluff it up. Or, you can just pound it with your fist and squish it which I did! :) I did notice the first day when I received this, that it had a strong odor. I know these memory foam pillows do, so it's not just this one. So, once I fluffed it all up by hand on the 2nd day that I received this, this is how it looked!  It's so soft and it's a queen size pillow so it's quite large!  I like this memory foam pillow . It's very soft and comfortable. It's something that could last for quite some time with care.  Disclosure: I received this product in exchange for my review. My opinions are 100% honest and my own.

Review: Sweet N Low

Image
I haven't had Sweet N Low for quite a few years up until now. The sweetness of it is equal to 2 packets of sugar. I used to put it in my unsweetened iced tea. Today, I used it in my Caramel Vanilla Chai tea and enjoyed it! I was sent a nice thermos type cup, a box containing 50 packets, a lil packet holder and some samples to give away. I gave the sample packs away to people at work. Unfortunately, the packet holder arrived damaged. :( I don't know think I'll be giving up my Splenda but maybe alternate every now and then.  Disclosure: I'm a member of Crowdtap and I was sent Sweet N Low samples to review in exchange for my honest opinion.
