~Review~ 100% Copper Mug for Moscow Mule

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

I LOVE Copper anything, so when I was asked to try a Copper Mule Mug I was very happy. This is beautifully made, solid and sturdy copper mug This is a flat copper and is 100% copper. There is nothing else in it. The handle is welded on and not riveted so no risk of leaking. This one is a much better quality that some others I have bought.

The best thing about Copper Mugs is that they keep your drinks super cold much longer than a regular glass or plastic cup and without the aid of ice cubes. They also work wonderfully for Hot Tea and Coffee as this also works in reverse and they keep your hot drinks hotter much longer than a ceramic coffee mug. My husband won't use anything else for his coffee. We have about 4 of these and he won't share any of them. He is a Copper Mug Hog!

There is no copper taste to your drinks, so do not worry about that. It tastes just like whatever you are drinking. The company also includes a bunch of recipe cards for other fun drinks you can make at home. You can buy your own 100% Copper Mug for Moscow Mule on Amazon.

~Review~ Beauté La Royale Facial Brush Set

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

I gotta say I am in love with the Beauté La Royale Facial Brush Set. It is such a nice quality, high end set at a good price. It has a lot of features and works really well on any type of skin.

The Beauté La Royale Facial Brush Set is waterproof which means you can use it while taking a beauty soak in the tub. It comes with a Body Brush, Facial Brush, Pumice Stone and sponge applicator for a moisturizer or scrub or both. It is so easy to use. You can add soap, serum, moisturizer, toner, anything to it and then massage away. Oh yes did I mention how wonderful it feels? It has a lot of power for such a little tool. I usually use the sponge to make a small amount of serum go a long way and then I switch out for the brush. I do the same on my face as my body.

The stone feels great on your feet and makes them so soft and smooth. The pieces on this snap on really easy. It does not hurt at all, but can tickle a bit. It is perfect now that summer is upon us. The set comes with a beautiful storage case so you can also travel with it.

You can get this wonderful Beauté La Royale Facial Brush Set on Amazon.

~Review~ Orange Blossom Water Toner by Foxbrim

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

I love toner. It always makes your skin feel so fresh and clean. I was thrilled to be able to try the Orange Blossom Water Toner by Foxbrim. It comes in a pretty bottle that is a good size. It is glass. It has a cap but you can not squeeze the bottle so I open it and use on a cotton ball.

Normally most toners do not smell great but the Orange Blossom Water Toner by Foxbrim smells very lightly of citrus. Not overpowering and not like alcohol. Toner is wonderful for your face. It tones your face basically. Tightens your pores, refreshes and softens your skin. It is very light and makes you feel clean and fresh. You can use it every day after you wash your face.

~Reveiw~ Sunsella Silicone Baking Cups

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

I LOVE Silicone Baking wear and these are no exception. These Sunsella Baking Cups include twelve baking cups in a random assortment of colors. All very pretty colors and two of each. They are so fun, perfect for parties, birthdays, school functions, etc.

One of the nicest things about Sunsella Silicone Baking Cups is how simple they are to use and clean. They cook through more even then most baking cups or metal pans. You can set them on a baking dish or in a muffin pan. Once cooked I let them cool and then they slide right out with no fuss or loss. Washing the Sunsella Silicone Baking Cups is so easy. They do not require scrubbing or anything heavy like that. Just a good soap and water wash and air dry.

These can be used for all sorts of things, muffins, cupcakes, brownie bites, fruit, dips, candy, jello and much much more. You can get your own Sunsella Silicone Baking Cups on Amazon.

~Review~ Bubble Therapy Pure & Natural Bubble Bath, Shampoo & Body Wash

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

Who doesn't love a good bubble bath? Ok maybe some of you men, but the women and kids all do. The Bubble Therapy Pure & Natural Bubble Bath, Shampoo & Body Wash is a very nice Bubble Bath. It has a very thick consistency. It's almost like a syrup or a gel. I recommend squirting it in your hand and then running under the water.

This provides a decent amount of bubbles, not so much that your drowning in them and not so few that it was a waste of your time. It's a good medium. The best part is that this bubble bath does not have that super sweet smell to it, just a very mild almost citrus like scent. So it is not over powering and should not bother sensitive noses. I tried it as a body wash and it was great, does not dry you out. It provides a good amount of moisture. I would not however use it as a shampoo except maybe on young kids hair. It is best served as a Bubble bath and Body wash product.

You can get your own Bubble Therapy Pure & Natural Bubble Bath, Shampoo & Body Wash on Amazon.

~Review~ Vitamin B-12 Super Energy Patch

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

Um yes please, do bring on the energy. As most of you know I suffer from Fibromyalgia and mild Lupus. So I have no energy, zip, zero, nada, nothing, zilch. You get the picture. I spend my days forcing myself to get up. I painfully try and to do chores and end up spilling or breaking something and making it worse. Basically I achieve nothing on a day to day basis. My kids and husband end up taking the load. So when I was chosen to review the Vitamin B-12 Super Energy Patch, it was a, I will try anything moment.

The Vitamin B-12 Super Energy Patch is super easy to use. It arrives in a flat envelope with two metallic cases. In each is a sheet of 8 small circular skin toned patches. Be careful when pulling them off so you get both the patch and the sticker part. Then simply place in any skin area that does not have hair. I put mine behind my ear because I have long hair. Now you leave this patch on for around 24 hours but no more than that. I never even knew it was there. I honestly forgot until my husband reminded me to remove it. It removes easy, and was not painful. There was no residue left behind at all.

I can say very quickly after placement I had a bit more energy. I normally do not move off of my bed for the majority of the day. Yes I am working but it's mainly because I am just to tired and uncomfortable to do anything else. I was up and cleaning, helping the kids move things around, and was able to check that they did chores. Normally my husband has to do that. I cleaned my room, the tub, the kitchen. I even moved a closet. Ok, I am lucky to do one thing like that once a week. That was just the first day. The second day I also had a ton of energy. I wasn't putting things off like I normally do. I opened all the curtains in my room and got up with the little kids. Normally I lay here in the dark. So needless to say I am in LOVE with these Vitamin B-12 Super Energy Patches. I will most certainly be buying more. A package lasts 4 months so it's an awesome deal. This is a MUST HAVE for people who suffer from fatigue. I am shocked, because honestly like everything else I have tried, I did not think this would work. But it does work.

~Review~ ABC Train Decal

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

We love wall decals. Who doesn't love something that is inexpensive and easy to remove when you want a change. My son loves trains and he is now learning his ABC's. He is two and so I knew this was the perfect age for this ABC Train Decal. So I got one for his bedroom.

The decal itself is very easy to install. You need to go slow but peel off, then press where you want it to be. Smooth with the included plastic tool (That's awesome). Next slowly peel off the outside layer smoothing as you go. Make sure to take it slow and steady with this part. After you do the train you will do the same with the letters.

I love that you have your choice from a ton of colors and fonts for the train, smoke and lettering. You can pretty much match it to any color scheme or room style. I chose a Dark Blue because my son collects Thomas the Train and I knew it would match. It arrive in a tube with the train, lettering and a small sample. Ours was an adorable owl. I actually am going to use that in the kitchen if my daughter doesn't steal it.

The only downfall I can see to this particular decal is that it is not reusable. It is fully removable though and will last for years! You can get one of your own on aluckyhorseshoe Etsy webpage.

~Review & Giveaway~ The Organic Face

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

What fun, new makeup from The Organic Face. Who doesn't look new makeup? Raise your hands...no one? I quite agree. New makeup is always a good time. The Organic Face is dedicated to creating pure, natural, chemical-free organic cosmetics and skincare products made from the finest active botanical ingredients and minerals. You can tell the wonderful quality the minute you open it.

I chose to try the Femme Fatale Eyeshadow Quad in Perfect Storm. It's a mix of silver, blue and green. I normally go for browns and neutrals so I thought it would be fun to try something new. I am allergic to alot of make up products so I was quite pleased that this one doesn't bother me at all. No itchy red eyes, just a lot of pretty color. I am certainly no makeup expert but it was simple to get a pretty look. The Organic Face Femme Fatale Eyeshadow can be applied wet or dry.

~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.

~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.
