~Review~ Matcha Tea Ceremony Gift Set

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

What a beautiful set this is, the Matcha Tea Ceremony Gift Set by Matcha DNA. I was so thrilled when it arrived at my house. It comes in a beautiful simple box with a magnetic closure that stores all of the ceremony set inside and a fact sheet abou Matcha Tea.

Your Matcha Tea Ceremony Gift Set comes with 1 oz of Organic Matcha Green Tea powder, a Handmade Matcha Green Tea Bowl, a bamboo tea whisk and green whisk holder and a bamboo spoon. This set is so finely made and the quality is excellent.

The tea you are able to make with this is exceptional. I actually bought a larger bag of Matcha DNA Green tea so I can use it more often. I just love the flavor of it, so strong. The whisk is perfect for this powder. I have to say I love this set, it's beautiful and a wonderfully made ceremony set that is perfect for beginners or someone who has used a tea ceremony set for years.

You can get your own Matcha Tea Ceremony Gift Set on Amazon.

~Review~Boardwalk Food Company Beer Bread Mix

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

Ok honestly I couldn't say one bad thing about Boardwalk Food Company Beer Bread Mix if I tried really really hard. Can you see me squinting here? Nope can't think of anything. Boardwalk Food Company offers a few different varieties of mixes. I chose Original and Boy was I happy with it. I am ready to try them all.

Making this bread was so simple. It's literally add beer and mix. That's it...nothing complicated, anyone could make this bread. The smell while it was baking was to die for good. I was ready to eat it the second it came out of the oven. It smelled heavenly!

The Original Beer Bread had a wonderful flavor to it. It was just delightful, with very light hints of beer. The texture of the bread was light and airy. We demolished the bread in minutes. Everyone was begging for more and asking when I could buy it again. Now in my house we eat well and fresh so for ANYONE to ask for a packaged anything was well seriously amazing. Every family member thought the Boardwalk Food Company Beer Bread Mix was to die for and it certainly will become a staple in our household.

The Boardwalk Food Company also offers Cornbread, Lemon Poppy Seed and Rosemary Sea Salt. Go check out the Boardwalk Food Company website.

~Review~ Professional Pastry Blender

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

My husband just loves new cooking tools so he was all over this Professional Pastry Blender by Orblue. It's a beautiful well made kitchen tool. It can replace your cheaper blenders.

It's a perfect size for almost any hand. My husband, myself and my kids were all able to use it easily. The handle is nice and soft but also did not slide or slip around in our hands. It's tough and can go through basically anything you want it to. It's very flexible and light weight. It's simple to clean and dishwasher safe! It makes baking a piece of cake.

~Review~ Ice Cream Scoop by Sumo

I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

Who doesn't love a good bowl of ice cream? What we don't love is trying to get it out of the carton. How many ice cream scoops does it take to get a bowl of ice cream? Just one with the Stainless Steel Ice Cream Scoop by Sumo!

This is a great light weight ice cream scoop. The handle is very comfortable and soft. It's great for people like me with painful hands. My husband loves it because it cuts right through the ice cream. We had pie and ice cream tonight and it literally took seconds to get the ice cream out of the carton. No water or effort needed!

Whether you prefer Vanilla or Triple Choco-Nutty Fudge Surprise, there's nothing quite like ice cream straight from the freezer. The problem?

~Review~ Ultra Flex Knee Brace & Ankle Support

~I received this for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

Hands down this is one of the best knee braces we have had. It's soft, comfortable and breathable. It's made from waterproof neoprene which is really a nice feature. One thing I really loved about both the knee and ankle brace is that they can be fitted to size. So while an adult male can wear them so can a child. This will not come loose because of how it's made. It's very thick and great quality!

People who play Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, Wrestling, CrossFit, Golf, Bowling, Fencing, Bicycle Riding, and Soccer are expected to make a lot of fast and dangerous moves during these sports that can provoke injuries.Also our products are recommended to be used by runners, people who go to the gym, lift weights or go to fitness programs.

This products can be used also as a recovery method after knee/ankle surgeries because it relieves knee pain, strains and arthritis. Works best for meniscus tear, arthritis, acl tear and tendonitis. The knee brace combines the mechanical effect of supporting the muscles and ligaments and the heating effect, which causes high blood flow and helps to recover damaged tissues.

Great features include, silicone strips that will warm up your muscles and prevent slipping, an enforced trim that guarantees integrity at high tension and a long life span. The open patella design will reduce the pressure on the knee without compromising the compression supplied to the muscle area.

You can get your own on Ultra Flex Knee Brace & Ankle Support on Amazon.

~Review~ Lather & Wood After-shave Balm & Lotion

~I received these for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

Ok let's just start off with my husband has raved and raved about the Lather & Wood After Shave Balm. He has a ton of different beard products. My entire medicine cabinet is full of them. But since this arrived he has gone back to it over and over again.

It comes in a beautiful 2oz brown glass bottle. I loved the adorable vintage label. The bottle is big and it lasts a good long time. It's free from alcohol and all those other nasty ingredients they normally add to after shave. So its soothing instead of painful.

My husband has used it basically every day since it's arrival. Since he started using it his face has been soft, smooth, supple even. He has not had nicks or cuts at all while shaving. It wicks the moisture right in for nothing but soft skin. No greasy, oily feeling at all. Just refreshing smoothness. His face is super soft and for a man in his forties very smooth. We both have been very pleased with the Lather & Wood After-shave Balm & Lotion and will be buying it for years to come.

You may try your own Lather & Wood After-shave Balm & Lotion on Amazon.

~Review~ Syono Full Length Orthotic Inserts & Insoles

~I received these for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.~

My whole family has terrible feet. Most of us have no arches or get terrible pain, so I am always looking for a better insert. This time we let my husband give these Syono Orthotic Inserts a try. They came packaged nicely and looked very easy to use. They come in size 6-12.

They were simple to cut down to size. My husband wore them for a little over a week, but sadly they didn't help his foot pain at all. He works as a chef so he is on his feet all day. You just never know with insoles for certain people. These are nice and probably would work better for someone not on their feet 24/7. One great thing about these is that you can move them from shoe to shoe, whenever.

They are made to help those suffering from the general arch, heel and foot pain. Overpronation which is the excessive inward rolling of the foot after landing. They help with flat feet and fallen arches by distributing and minimizing pressure in the foot by providing additional ARCH SUPPORT. Every insole comes with a built in metatarsal raise to aid those suffering from Metatarsalgia, Interdigital Neuritis or Neuromas. They also provide support for those with existing high arches.

If you would like to try a pair you can buy your Own Syono Orthotic Inserts on Amazon.
