A few days ago, I was sent some holiday variety packs of coffee and hot cocoa pods from Two Rivers. These pods can be used with any K-cup machine & have a wide assortment of flavors. I just picked up a new Keurig machine, so I was very excited to try all of these out. We gone though about half of the boxes so far. The coffee is very good, and very strong. My daughter absolutely loves the cocoa. The dipped strawberry has been her favorite so far. I liked the Soho chocolate cocoa. The vanilla spice & donut shop are my favorite coffee flavors. We aren’t used to having K-cups, so we are still working out how many ounces of water to use with them. I’ve found the coffee is best with 12oz if you don’t want it as strong. For the cocoa, any more than 6oz and its very watery. Overall, these have all been very good and I will be ordering more in the future. You can order the variety packs directly from Two Rivers or from Amazon. The Giveaway Two Rivers wants to give one lucky reader a ...

ProjeX Review and Giveaway
Last week, I was sent a ProjeX game to try out with my family and review. ProjeX is a portable projector that displays arcade-quality shooting targets of varying difficulty levels. This system operates on just two AA batteries and does not require a tv. Each projector comes with two blasters (which don’t need batteries) and three slides. The slides are color-coded for difficulty level: blue is easy & shows targets; red is medium & shows UFO; white is hard & shows ducks. Out of the box, all the system needs are batteries. The projector should be placed on a low table about 5 feet away from the wall. Turn off the lights, and you are good to go. It took us a few minutes to get it to turn on, and once it did the entire base lit up. There is a small front display that keeps score and the blasters can be placed in built-in holders for storage. We started out with the blue slide and slowly worked our way up. Each slide has 5 different games, so there are a lot of variations ...
Product Review – Electric Epilator from Finishing Touch
Several weeks back, I was sent an electric epilator by Finishing Touch to try out and review. This laser epilator is rechargeable and has two different razor heads that can be used. I have been on the hunt for a good, affordable electric razor for some time now. First of all, when I first saw this it was billed as a ‘laser razor’. I took that to mean that it was one of those that helped stop the hard from growing eventually. However, all this razor has is a light that detects when the razor comes into contact with skin…meaning it will only run when it’s on your skin. I tried really hard to find ways to get this epilator to work. The foil covered head can’t cut anything. I don’t know if it because the blades are dull or if it’s because the hair cannot get through the foil. I let my legs get pretty stubbly, which isn’t fun. Nothing. Nada. Zip. The buzzer blade/head does work, but its not enough to make this razor worth getting. Overall, this epilator was somewhat disappointing. ...

Big Hero 6: The Series Review and Giveaway [ENDED]
Disney’s Big Hero 6: The Series – Back in Action takes place just before the end of the hit Big Hero 6, following Hiro Hamado as he rebuilds Baymax and works to protect San Fransokyo with his friends. This collection of episodes includes the first 7 episodes of the series and also 6 shorts featuring Baymax and the team. I loved Big Hero 6 and have been super excited to see the series when they announced it last year. The series is every bit as enjoyable as the movie and my daughter and I both love it. I think our favorite episode is Food Fight, where Aunt Cass gets addicted to competing in underground cooking competitions. It was a hilarious take on Iron Chef and there is even a nod to Gordon Ramsay. In a reversal of roles, Aunt Cass sneaks out at night to compete, with Hiro having to be the responsible one and go out to find her. Overall, the series is off to a great start and I can’t wait to watch more episodes. I really hope that they will make a sequel movie soon as well. Big ...
