I recently had the chance to review (and keep) a pair of Eye Glasses from Just EyeWear . Just EyeWear sells gorgeous prescription glasses and sunglasses at a fraction of the cost of retail, backed by a 365 day return policy! AND they pay return shipping! There were so many different options to choose from featuring many popular brands including Kenneth Cole, Lacoste, Guess, Jones New York and more! I chose the Marc Joseph Lenses in coffee (color). I received an email shortly after my order was placed and another when my order was being shipped. That means a lot to me because I like to know when to expect something in the mail! They also have a  How to buy glasses online section  to guide you through the process. Overall their website was very easy to use. Once you pick your frames and have your final selection you are the directed over to the page to enter in all of your lens information. (I highly suggest you have a recent eye exam to go off of) Jus...

As many of you know I make my own laundry detergent and a lot of my own cleaners. Yesterday when I went to make some detergent I realized I had let myself run out of the Fels Naptha soap that I usually use. So I decided to try a bar of Oil of Olay instead. I found several websites that said they did the same thing and it worked well so I gave it a go. Soap was grated, Borax was in the mixing bowl when I realized, I had also ran out of washing soda. Now I know it's readily available everywhere here but the store is 30 minutes away and I just wasn't up to it. So I went back to searching the web. Oh the interesting things you can find online! I learned that if you take Baking Soda and heat it in the oven until the fluffy texture is gone and it turns more grainy, that you have Washing Soda. I had one cup left of baking soda so I pre-heated the oven to 400 degrees  , poured the cup of baking soda on a cookie sheet, and "baked" it for 30 minutes. Sure enough, the fluffin...

I recently had the chance to review Goat Milk Stuff.  Since my Dad has been diagnosed with end stage liver cancer we have began to make serious changes in day to day life. We are trying to go as natural and healthy as possible. One thing we have done is swapped to Goats Milk vs Cow Milk for easier digestion (contains much smaller fat particles than cow's milk, making it easier on the human digestive system)  The chemo he takes is so harsh on his skin. His hair which is normally so oily is so dry. The lotions and soaps he uses don't offer much relief. With that said I contacted Goat Milk Stuff and asked to review their products. Their generosity was beyond belief! For Starters Goat Milk Stuf f is a family run business. The Jonas family is a large family of 10 from Rural Indiana. They have a small herd of Alpine Goats and they work together as a family in conducting their business. All of their children are home schooled and have their own unique rolls in ...

I have wanted a nice area rug for our living room for a while.  We have hardwood floors through-out the main floor.  There are times when I would like to get on the floor and play with the kids but the floor is just to hard.  We have purchased $30 area rugs from Walmart in the past, but the softness just wasn't there. After searching, for the perfect one, I choose a  Mohawk Home area rug. My living room was bare before, but with something as simple as a rug it changes the feel in the whole room! I love this rug not only for the colors, the design, but for the softness I can now get on the floor and play with the kids without my knees or bottom hurting.   The living room is where you live the most you should enjoy your time there and this Mohawk Home rug pulls it all together.

I recently had the chance to review UNREAL candy unjunked as part of a BZZ campaign.  I chose the UNREAL 41 Chocolate Coated Candies and the UNREAL 77 Peanut Butter Cups. Both candies were pretty much identical to the brands we would normally buy except they didn't have all of the "junk" included in them. UNREAL candy unjunked has No artificial ingredients, no corn syrup, and no hydrogenated oils AND it was cheaper than the "junk" we normally buy. You can read more about UNREAL candy including their story at  getunreal.com , but for me, this is a go to from now on!  Disclaimer: I received coupons to purchase UNREAL candy unjunked through a BZZagent campaign. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are my own. #imabzzagent
