A few weeks back, I was sent a sample set of 6 randomly picked teas from Enjoying Teas. Enjoying tea carries a huge selection of teas, as well as a tea sets, pots, and accessories. The set I was sent was all loose leaf, and included the following: Keemun Black Tea (Qihong), Earl Grey Black tea, Roasted Mate Chai, Vanilla Rooibos, Jasmine Green Tea, and Organic Slimming Oolong Tea. Each of the teas comes in a small square tin and each is labeled (full name & item number). There was also a card included that had that steeping time and how much tea to use for a cup. Out of all the teas, I liked the Organic Slimming Oolong the best. The leaves were bulky & wadded up, so you could really hear them rattling around in the tin. Once in the water, they expand. I used only 2 teaspoons, which didn’t look like much dried, but ended up filling my tea ball up almost completely…which isn’t easy to do since it’s an extra big one. The taste was crisp & smelled very good. The one I ...
Product Review – Delta Kite with Tail
Two weeks back, I was sent a large Delta Kite with Tail from Get Childish to try out and review. The kite is 180 x 90 cm and made of nylon & resin. The kite was a lot bigger that I first thought it would be. It arrived in a long box & my husband thought that I had ordered a fishing rod or something. The kite comes folded up in a carrying bag with the main poles already in place. All you need to do to assemble it is to put the cross pole in place and attach the string. When fully assembled, it was easily as wide as my couch and nearly as tall as my daughter. We had a hard time being able to take it out to fly it. It had been storming almost every day. We finally had a clear day and were able to get it in the air for about two minutes before a massive storm moved it. It flew beautifully & drew a lot of people’s attention at the local park. We were a little leery of letting my daughter fly it by herself since she’s still little, but she had a blast watching it fly. We ...

Product Review – Mosquito Repellent Bracelet
Last week, I was asked to try out and review that Mosquito Repellent Bracelet (+ 2x Refill) from CASELAST. The fabric bracelet can be adjusted to fit all sizes, and has a mesh pouch/pocket that holds a chip with mosquito repellant. The chip is DEET-FREE & uses citronella, lavender, peppermint and geranium…making it safe for all ages. The chips last for 15 days once opened. After 4 years of little to no rain, we’ve been getting torrential rain to the point that there is widespread flooding from here all the way down to Houston. All the rain has caused the local mosquito population to explode. And my daughter, unfortunately, is a mosquito magnet. We’ve tried all sorts of natural replant and never had much success with them. This year she’s finally old enough to use spay with DEET, but it can’t be left on her skin for long periods of time. I’ve been trying to find something that is safe for her to wear all the time, so I was interested in trying this out. The bracelet comes with ...
Product Review – Santa Fe Art Supply Artist Brush Set
A few weeks back, I was asked to try out and review the Santa Fe Art Supply Artist Brush Set. The set come with 15 brushes that are professional long-handled artist paintbrushes and are 12 inches in length. They use synthetic hair and do not streak when you paint. Santa Fe Art Supply backs them with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and Lifetime Replacement Warranty. I haven’t done actual painting in a long time, but I do lots of craft projects and paint highly detailed figurines & tree ornaments for Christmas when I have the time. These are easily the best brushes I have ever had. I tested them out with some of my daughter’s watercolors and was very impressed. None of the hair came out and they cleaned up very well. The paint goes down evenly, allowing me to paint lines with ease. The case turns into a pop-up stand, making it very easy to take the brushes in & out as needed. There was also a bonus smaller brush included as well. It’s the perfect size for small detail ...
FitTea Review
Two weeks ago, I was sent a bag of FitTea 28 Day Detox to try out and review. FitTea is an all-natural way to detox. It’s designed to give you energy, boot your metabolism, aid in digestive health, and naturally boost weight-loss in problem areas. It will also help suppress your appetite. Their slogan is "Give us a few weeks and we'll give you a new waistline". I’ve struggled with weight and fluid gain since having my daughter, so I’m always eager to try out products that help with those issues. Some products I’ve tried in the past have worked to a point & others not at all. I was interested in trying FitTea since it seemed like a different approach when compared to the others I’ve tried before. There are no pills to take, no need to change your diet, or so some sort of crazy workout routine. It’s just tea…and I really like tea (in case no one has noticed yet). One bag comes with 28 individual tea bags. The bags are kind of a sheer mesh and are filled about half way with the ...
