24/7 Frenzy

24/7 Frenzy sent me a shirt and I could not wait to open the box to see it.  I opened it and loved the color of the shirt.  I knew what I was going to receive but really loved the vibrant colors of the shirt and the texture it.  It is a beautiful shirt and the feel of it when I touched it was so nice.
I took the shirt out so I could take a picture of it.  Then tried it on, I loved how it felt against my skin and the colors really looked good.  I showed it to my mom and she said how pretty it was and that if it were in her size it might just disappear when she left.  I laughed and told her no way, I was keeping this one.  I can't wait to find a place to wear this beautiful shirt.

I was so very glad to receive this shirt from 24/7 Frenzy.  I think that anyone looking for nice and comfortable clothes should check out 24/7 Frenzy. The shirt looks exceptional made, vibrant colors, and the material is just awesome to feel.  I definitely recommend that anyone looking for some really great clothes at a decent price check out 24/7 Frenzy.  Definitely a thumbs up for 24/7 Frenzy.

Perfect Pod EZ-cup

I was so excited to receive my package from Perfect Pod EZ-cup.  I recently got a Keurig machine and I LOVE coffee. I took the pods out as well as the filters.  I read the directions carefully before opening the packages. It seemed really easy.
I took out a pod and filter and following the directions I made me a cup of coffee.  The coffee was delicious and I got to use the coffee I really enjoy.   I didn't have to buy a certain type of K-cup to use and not know if I would enjoy the coffee.  I love really strong coffee.  Not only do I get to have the coffee that I love but it is so much cheaper than a pack of K-cups.  I ended up using the EZ-cup three times that day because I enjoyed it so much.  With the K-cups I wouldn't do that because they are so expensive, the EZ-cup being reusable is so easy and cost effective.

I loved getting to try the Perfect Pod EZ-cup.  As someone who really loves coffee and the ease of a Keurig machine, it was perfect for me.  I recommend anyone with a Keurig machine to try the Perfect Pod EZ-cup's.  It allows you to drink your brand of coffee without having to pay an extreme amount of money for it.  They are reusable it makes them so much cheaper than the other kinds of cups you can buy.  Two GREAT big thumbs up for the Perfect Pod EZ-cup.

Pur Gum: Cool Mint and Cinnamon Flavor

      I received my Pur Gum to try yesterday. I was very glad to receive this package, my family and I enjoy gum and trying new kinds. We got two different kinds to try: Cool Mint and Cinnamon. I am not a fan of anything that is cool mint, but do love cinnamon flavored gum.

      I gave my husband and son the cool mint to try. My son tried it first and said it had a good taste, he also said the taste didn't just disappear after a few minutes. My husband tried some a little later and said the same thing, that it had a good flavor and the flavor lasted a little while. He said he would buy it for sure to have at work with him. I tried the cinnamon after dinner and I sat down to relax for the evening. I tried it while watching a sitcom, it had great cinnamon taste. It did not burn my mouth like some cinnamon flavored gums and candies can do. I chewed the gum the whole time I was watching my TV show which was 30 minutes. It still had just about the same flavor at the end of the show as it did when I first started chewing it. I was very surprised, gum usually lasts no more than 10 or so minutes with flavor.  

      I would definitely recommend to anyone looking to try some flavorful gum to give the Pur Gum brand a try, if you come across it. We all enjoyed the flavor and how long it lasted. Another product that my family got to try and love. We would all buy this gum to have again.

Green Earth Frying Pan

      I received my 8" Green Earth Frying Pan by Ozeri a week ago. I was ready to try it out because I enjoyed using the 10" one so much. I used the 10" pan to make my family some pan bread. I have a really hard time finding a pan to cook it in. I decided to try to make some pan bread in the 8" as well just because it is such a good way to test a non stick pan.

      I made two batches of the batter for my pan bread, I was bringing some to my parents. Dinner was ready, and it was time to get started on the bread. I put a little bit of oil in the pan and started with my first piece of bread. I have to say I actually loved the 8" pan even better than the 10" to cook my pan bread in. It makes the pieces not as big around but thicker and cooked it perfectly. I love this brand from Ozeri. Absolutely great size for my pan bread. This is my new favorite pan from Ozeri to make my pan bread.

      Anyone looking for any size pan that Ozeri carries, I strongly recommend that you try it out. This is an awesome product. I was so thankful to have the first 10" pan to try out but the 8" pan was just great for my pan bread. If you're looking for new cookware I would suggest giving this a try.

      I received the John Paul Pet Grooming Pack the other day and could not wait to try it out on my dog. It had a waterless foam shampoo, oatmeal conditioning spray and a brush. I bathe my dog at least once a week but he always manages to get into something sticky or yucky. He is part Yorkie and has bristly fur and no matter what I have used to make it not so course, I couldn't find anything that worked. I was really ready to try this out.

      First I read the directions of both bottles. I then sprayed my dog with the shampoo first, following the directions. I then brushed him and let him run around for a few minutes, then picked him up not only did he smell clean again but he felt clean. I loved this product. I tried the conditioner next, by following the directions on the bottle. I brushed him and let him round around for a few minutes again so it would dry completely. I called him to me and I have to say I was really surprised at how soft he was. With his bristly hair I had tried some conditioner but nothing worked. It did not feel as course, was softer all over his body, but especially on the back where it was the roughest feeling. I was so happy to finally have found a product that made his fur not only clean but feel softer.

      I definitely recommend this product to anyone with animals. It worked great on my dog who has course/bristly fur. The shampoo and conditioner should definitely be given a try. A very big thumbs up for this product.

      I received my package of CrunchMaster not long ago. The package consisted of Grammy Crisps (cinnamon and sugar), Popped Edamame chips (sea salt), Cheezy Crisps (Cheddar), Multi Grain Crackers (sea salt), and Multi Seed Crackers (original). I was excited to have my family try these, we enjoy crackers/chips.
      My son didn't enjoy them so much, he said they didn't have much flavor. My husband and I disagreed though, we both enjoyed the flavor and crunch of each one. We could tell that they were made with good for you kind of ingredients, not your normal greasy/crumbly potato chip.             Much better than a normal cracker too, you could really taste the multi grains in them. The kind of cracker/chip you could eat without feeling super guilty about the fat/grease you were putting into your body. Out of all of the flavors we got I think our two favorite were the Grammy Crisps and the Cheezy Crisps. The Grammy Crisps had a wonderful cinnamon and sugar flavor, not overpoweringly but just right.       The Cheezy Crisps were very crunchy and had a good cheddar flavor.   We enjoyed all of them but those two were our personal favorites. 
      I would definitely recommend giving the CrunchMaster brand a try. They have great taste and tasted better for you than normal cracker/chips. I was very pleased with the brand and each individual box/bag. I suggest you give these a chance when possible.

      I got my package of SexyPop Popcorn a week or so ago. The flavors we received were: Lightly Salted, Black Pepper, Bangin' Chedder, Brazilian Coconut, and French Butter. They were also awesome enough to send me a Frisbee and small bag with the SexyPop logo on it. I was very excited to give these a try. I absolutely LOVE popcorn and this popcorn was supposed to be better for you than regular. I couldn't wait to try them out.  

      I can't say that I absolutely loved the flavor of them all but it was okay. The black pepper was pretty rough, I ate one handful and that was it. My husband didn't like any of them, saying that they had no flavor and just tasted like regular popcorn with no flavoring. I disagree somewhat, I thought you could taste the flavor but it wasn't very strong. Not a bad flavor at all just not strong enough for me. I think my favorite was the French Butter. It had a pretty good butter flavor.

      If you are looking for a good for you kind of snack I definitely recommend trying the SexyPop Popcorn. I enjoyed getting to try new flavors and the flavor was pretty good to me.

      I recently got my package of Eden Organic Pasta Company to try. I received two different types of pasta to try: Small vegetable shells and Kamut Ditalini. I was excited to try these out, I enjoy pasta.

      The two boxes they sent were kind of small so it really wasn't enough for the whole family to try. I cooked the small vegetable shells first and all I put on them was a little butter and some garlic powder. They tasted good and cooked well. Next, I cooked the kamut ditalini to try with some leftover spaghetti sauce. I thought it tasted pretty good. I would defiantly try them again. The flavors of the pasta was pretty much like any regular pasta, it cooked well, and I think would be good cooked with whatever you wanted.

      I would recommend to give the Eden Organic Pasta Company a try. The flavor is good and it cooks well. Doesn't get mushy or taste crunchy. I suggest any one looking to try some organic pasta to give them a try. I enjoyed it and think most people would too.

      I was so very excited to receive my box of salsa from Naked Infusions Salsa. The box contained: Signature Ripe Tomato, Mild and Medium, Black Silk Espresso, Medium, California Burnt Sage, Mild, Fire Roasted Garlic, Medium, Hot, and Oaxaca White Chocolate. I also received two cute shirts and an apron.  I LOVE salsa, I like to eat it on chips and I enjoy to cook with it too. I couldn't wait to try it out. I wasn't sure yet how I wanted to try it first with chips or to use it in a recipe. 
      I decided to try it out in a recipe first, I used the fire roasted garlic over some baked chicken. It was so delicious. My whole family loved the flavor of the salsa cooked on the chicken. I gave the jar of hot to a friend of mine to try because she loves hot/spicy foods. She said it was definitely hot, to her it was too hot to eat and because of the heat you couldn't taste anything else. Next I tried the Mild in some leftover rice to make like a Mexican rice. I added a little taco seasoning along with the salsa and let it cook on low for about 30 minutes. It was delicious, we really enjoyed it. I have to say by trying the Naked Infusions Salsa it has given me a new recipe for when I make Mexican food. I tried the Medium on some chips that I had and was not very fond of the flavor. It wasn't really hot or had much flavor. I was a little let down about that but we really enjoyed the flavor when cooking with the salsa. 

      I would definitely recommend anyone looking for salsa to give the Naked Infusions Salsa a try. I would definitely buy it for myself and family. If you are looking for a salsa you should give the Naked Infusions a try.

      I received my package of Mama Francesca Parmesan cheeses the other day to try. Not only did I receive six different kinds, but they were also awesome enough to send me two cute shirts and an apron. I love using Parmesan cheese when I cook. Not just on Italian dishes but sometimes I add it to other dishes to add to the flavor. The six that I received were: Parmesan and Romano, Parmesan, Basil and Oregano, Parmesan, Asiago and Romano, Classic Parmesan, Parmesan and Red Pepper and Parmesan and Garlic. I was super excited to try some of these out.
      So far I have tried the Parmesan and Romano and the Parmesan and Red Pepper. I used the Parmesan and Romano to make an Italian cauliflower dish. The recipe called for me to add it at the end of cooking, mix it up in the dish and let it melt. It melted so much better than some of the cheap store brand Parmesan cheese you can buy. It gave it a wonderful flavor like I was expecting. My family really enjoyed dinner that night. We even added a little to the top of our dish.  I used the Parmesan and Red pepper to add a little flavor to a Hawaiian Chicken dish that I have made before. After adding everything to my dish that I normally would I added just a little bit of cheese to each piece of chicken. We all really enjoyed the little bit of heat that the cheese gave the chicken. I would definitely make this dish again with the Parmesan and Red Pepper. I have to say I cannot wait to try the other flavors out. I have been looking for recipes that call for Parmesan cheese so I can try them and have also been looking for recipes that I can add it to. My family and I really enjoyed the Mama Francesca Parmesan cheeses. 
      I would definitely recommend that anyone looking for some Parmesan cheese, that you try and find the Mama Francesca brand to try. It has a wonderful taste and it really melted well. So much better than store brand that I have tasted before. My family and I definitely give Mama Francesca Parmesan a thumbs up lol. 

Barbara’s handmade cookie pies
      I received the, apple caramel, to try a few days ago. I loved how it smelled, as soon as I opened the package I could smell the apples. I cut it up into portions for myself and family. My husband and son ate theirs and both said it was very good.  I ate mine after I got some things done around the house. I absolutely loved how it tasted. It was very sweet but not overpoweringly so. You could really taste the apples and some cinnamon. The caramel was chewy and tasted really good. It had pecans on the outside of it that gave it a little crunch. The shell of the "pie/cookie" tasted like a vanilla/sugar cookie. All those things alone I enjoy but when you add them all together I have to say it was one my favorite desserts. It was wonderfully tasty.
If you have the opportunity to try, I suggest that you give it a try. They are wonderful, I recommend anyone looking for a little bit of a different kind of dessert to give them a try. They are part cookie and part pie. The different tastes and textures make it a wonderful kind of dessert.

Green Earth Pan by Ozeri

           I received the Green Earth Pan by Ozeri last week to try. I followed the directions on seasoning the pan before I used it. It was a little heavier than I thought it would be but not too bad. I love the size of the pan, I got the 10".  It is perfect for what I will be using it for.
      I decided to make pan bread with it for my first time trying it. I have a hard time finding a skillet to make my pan bread in, where it won't stick and burn. I made up my batter and brought the pan up to the temperature I needed and sprayed the pan with a small amount of oil spray. I loved how the pan cooked my pan bread. It cooked it all the way through without burning it.  It is a wonderful pan to cook in and so easy to clean. I also fried some sausage in it for sandwiches, the next day. It again cooked perfectly and was so easy to clean.
      I would definitely recommend the Green Earth Pan by Ozeri. I used the 10" skillet and it has worked wonderfully for everything that I have tried in it and is so easy to clean. I love the size, how easy it is to cook in, and how easy it is to clean. If anyone is looking for a good, easy skillet to use this is definitely a must try. Very pleased with this product. It is AMAZING!!

Ozeri Cardio Tech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Voice-Guided Operation

       I received the Ozeri Cardio Tech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Voice-Guided Operation, last week. I have high blood pressure and have been looking for a home blood pressure cuff so that I am able to check my pressure when I feel it is too high. I checked online for a few months looking for a good deal and then I received the Ozeri to write a review on. As soon as I got the Ozeri Cardio Tech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Voice-Guided Operation I used it. It worked great all the way around. The instructions are very easy to understand and the commands from the voice guided operation were not hard to follow. The readout is easy to understand and not too small. It read accurately for my pressure. 
      I was very pleased with the Ozeri Cardio Tech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Voice-Guided Operation. I was so pleased with it I brought it to my friend’s house so that she could check her mother's blood pressure. She recently had heart surgery and her blood pressure is still not under control. She gave the Ozeri Cardio Tech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Voice-Guided Operation to her mother to use and she followed the instructions and did it herself. She said it was very easy to use and read. The readout was accurate to the manual blood pressure cuff my friend has. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a home blood pressure cuff that they give the Ozeri Cardio Tech Pro Series Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Voice-Guided Operation a try. It works great and is easy to use. Very highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a home blood pressure cuff for themselves or family.

Farm Rich

      I recently received four coupons in the mail for Farm Rich frozen products. I decided to get two meatballs and two mozzarella bites. My family loves mozzarella sticks so I thought we would like the bites. I knew everyone liked meatballs but some can be flavorless, but I decided to give these a try.
  One evening for dinner I used one of the meatballs in my spaghetti sauce. We enjoyed them very much. My husband and son (who loves spaghetti and meatballs) said they tasted good especially with my spaghetti sauce. I think I am going to use the second bag to make meatball sandwiches for the them.
  My son and I both love mozzarella sticks. We decided to use one of the mozzarella bites as a side dish when I made hamburgers for dinner. I followed the directions on the back of the bag. I don't think any of us really cared for the bites. When we talked about it after dinner, the biggest complaint seemed to be that the bites really didn't taste like mozzarella. The crust seemed to over power the bites. Maybe we are just picky when it comes to mozzarella sticks, because that is what we are used to. I haven't decided what to do with the second bag as of yet. I don't know if I could get my family to eat anymore of it.
I would definitely recommend the meatballs to anyone who is looking for frozen meatballs for any reason. The flavor is wonderful and we really enjoyed it. I have to say for myself and my family we did not enjoy the mozzarella bites at all, so I can't say that I would recommend them. Maybe we are picky when it comes to mozzarella sticks, because they have more cheese in them. I think Farm Rich is a great brand and really enjoyed getting to try their products.

Olove's





      I was very excited to receive the Olove's in the mail.  My family and I love olives. We tried them with our dinner. We enjoyed them but there were some that were better than others. Flavor wise and consistency wise there was a difference, at least for us. 
      I received four different flavors: Chili and Oregano (green), Lemon and Rosemary (green), Basil and Garlic (green), and Chili and Garlic (black). I enjoyed the flavor of the Chili and Garlic black olives but the olive itself was rather mushy. The green olives did not seem to have the mushiness that the black olive did. The Lemon and Rosemary was okay but definitely not my favorite or one I would try again.  I enjoyed the Chili and Oregano as well as the Basil and Garlic the best. My husband agreed with me on the flavors. The green olive had the best consistency and the flavoring wasn't to overpowering.  With the exception of the Lemon and Rosemary. It was a little overpowering and left an aftertaste in our mouths. 

      I would definitely recommend that you give these a try if you enjoy olives.  I would buy them to put in a dish or salad, as well as just having them for a little snack in between.

Jimmy's Sticky Jerky

   This week I received some Jimmy's Sticky Jerky to try and review. I love beef jerky so I thought this would be a great product for me to try. I was able to pick two flavors and I chose Beef Sweet and Beef Heat. I chose the sweet one because I enjoy sweet flavored jerky and choose the hot for my friend to try with me.  The name Jimmy's Sticky Jerky certainly fits the product, it was sticky without leaving your fingers coated. It was moist and very flavorful, I really loved the flavoring. It was chewy without making your jaw hurt from chewing. 
   I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the flavor, usually jerky doesn't have a strong flavor.   This jerky has a great flavor that stays with you as you chew. The flavor seems to have really permeated the meat through and through. It was sweet and very tasty. My friend that tried the heat said the name certainly fit it (Beef Heat). It was very spicy, but she enjoys spicy things. She described it as being very spicy with a sweet aftertaste and chewy yet tender.    
  I would recommend Jimmy's Sticky Jerky to anyone who enjoys beef jerky. It has a wonderful flavor that I think would be enjoyable to anyone who likes jerky.  You should definitely give it a try, I was very happy that I did.
  These are all the many flavors that they offer: Turkey Sweet, Beef Sweet, Beef Black Pepper, Beef Cilantro & Lime, Turkey Heat, Beef Heat and Sweet Heat.

Party 'Tizers Dippin' Chips

      Recently, I tried the Party 'Tizers Dippin' Chips, distributed by, That's how we roll. I tried five different flavors of the chips: Potato (sea salt), Potato (sour cream and onion), Three bean (black bean, red bean and adzuki bean), Super Grains (quinoa, amaranth, and black sesame) and the Veggie (kale, carrot and spinach). The texture of all of them was good and they were shaped great for dipping, they hold as much or as little of the dip as you like. I have to say I was very surprised at the order in which I ended up liking the flavors. I picked the two I thought I would like the best as the two Potato ones (sea salt & sour cream and onion). After tasting them all, with and without dip, my favorite was the Veggie (kale, carrot and spinach). Second I would have to say was the Potato (sour cream and onion). That is not to say that I didn't enjoy the others but those two were my favorite. I really enjoyed the flavor of the Veggie one, the combination of the kale, carrot and spinach surprised me. It tasted great on its own as just a chip to munch on and tasted good with some salsa on it. The Potato (sour cream and onion) I enjoyed because of the saltiness that the sour cream and onion flavoring gave the chip. It was great alone and okay with the salsa as well. My least favorite out of the five was the Three Bean one. It wasn't bad by any means but just tasted like a regular tortilla. It was good with the dip but kind of bland without it. The Super Grain was pretty tasty by itself but not my favorite flavor with and without the dip. I was very surprised that the Potato (Sea Salt) was not my top pick. I love salty chips but to me it just tasted like a regular tortilla and didn't seem to have much salty taste to it. It was okay with the salsa but just very bland without.  
I invited my friend over to try them with me.  She enjoyed the Super Grain one most. She likes sesame seeds and said that she could really taste it in the chip, she enjoyed it with and without the salsa. Her second pick was the Potato (sour cream and onion). She said it had great flavor for a flavored chip, very salty. She enjoyed it by itself most but said it was good with the salsa too. Her least favorite was the Three Bean, not that it was bad, just that it tasted like a regular tortilla chip. Good with dip but kind of bland without.
I would recommend these to anyone who enjoys chips and dip. I think they would be great for any type of get together or just for munching. Great for dipping and good taste overall. A definite must try in my book.

Thera Pearl Neck Wrap

The neck wrap from Thera Pearl, (http://www.therapearl.com/products/neck-wrap/), worked wonders when I used it on my neck and upper shoulders. I warmed it up in the microwave to help relieve some of the sore muscle aches that I have in my shoulders and neck. I heated the neck wrap in the microwave for about 30 seconds and sat with it on for between 10 to 15 minutes. After the first 5 to 7 minutes I felt the muscle tension seem to lessen some. I sat back with my feet up, eyes closed and just relaxed with the heat. It did wonders for my shoulders and neck. I use the computer a lot and because I do, I tend to have some muscle soreness in that area. 
      I would definitely recommend using any of the products from Thera Pearl after using the neck wrap. In fact, I did just that, I brought it over to my friends house for her mother to use. She has a pinched nerve in her upper back. The pinched nerve in her back causes the muscles in her neck and shoulders to ache and feel tight most of the time. I warmed it up for her and put it on her back for 10 minutes. She said it eased the pain that she had been having all day. Later that evening before I left I warmed it up for her again and she put with it on for about 15 minutes. The next day, her daughter (my friend), told me that she slept better that night than she had in awhile. Her shoulders and neck didn't make her twist and turn as much and she didn't remember waking up once because of it.  
This is a great product that I think many people could benefit from for aches and pains of any kind. I would definitely recommend the neck wrap for anyone with neck and upper shoulder aches and pains.
