Catspring Yaupon

catspringyaupon-69 copy.jpgDuring this stressful time tea always tends to relax me. I love a good book with a glass of warm tea. Finding new brand of tea can be challenging. When I came across Catspring Yaupon tea I was intrigued and I knew I wanted to try their tea that they offered. 

What is Yaupon tea you ask? Its simply the only caffeinated plant native to North America. Consumed for millennia by many indigenous people groups, yaupon has been largely forgotten for the last few centuries. They sustainably wild harvest with incredible, left behind resources in Cat Spring, Texas.

This tea is american tea, sustainable, wild harvested, jitter free caffeine and refreshing and delicious. 

If you haven't tried their teas previously. I would recommend their starter pack. In the starter pack you will receive Pedernales and Lost Maples. Each starter pack has 16 pouches inside. So you will receive 32 tea bag total. What is nice about this tea you can drink it hot, iced and cold brewed. There is enough to share with other, but it that good so you may not want to share. 

The first tea was their Pedernales and that is a clean refreshing, their staple green yaupon celebrates the Pedernales River, flowing around huge slabs of limestone. Enjoy it hot or cold brewed: You'll be relaxed and recharged by the time its vibrant green hue turns earthly brown. 

The Lost Maples is a smooth and mild, their medium roast pays homage to the Lost Maples forest. Bigtooth magnificent array of fall colors echoed by the caramel notes in each cup. 

If your on the look out for two new great teas I would recommend trying their starter pack. Out of the two packs of teas I would recommend the Lost Maple. This was is unique and taste amazing. I would recommend checking out their starter pack and their other teas on their website.

Canapa

When it comes to CBD products it can be overwhelming and confusing at times. To understand what is CBD product and how they work. Some people get confused because they think CBD products will get you high. CBD product do not have TCH in their products and TCH is the one that makes you high. There is a lot of misinformation that is out there and that is why a lot of people get confused and are scared to try CBD products. Also when checking out CBD products I would recommend researching the products that you would like to use before hand. When I take a look at CBD products I make sure they use the right ingredients and that these are pure products which are researched and made.

I was introduced to Canapa who offer a line of CBD products and I was lucky to be able to try two of their products. We received their Spettro and their Acqua Speetro.

DSCF6913-2.jpgThe first product that we took a look at is their Canapa Acqua Spettro Water Soluble Drops. This is 900mg and comes in a 1fl oz bottle. This is the first time that I heard about Canapa Acqua Spettro is a water soluble CBD formulation, and is intended to add to your beverages. If you are adding this to your beverage and you get a cloudiness in your drink that is normal don't be alarm. I add to my water personally and I like drinking that way. If you would like you can add it to your coffee, tea, smoothie or even wine. When I first started out trying this product I took half of what was recommended to make sure I had no allergic reactions. I'm always cautious when it come to trying new products. You can always add more when your body gets used to this product. If you are feeling the effects at the lower dosage then that dosage might be the right one for you. The ingredients in this product are filtered water, MCT Oil, whole plant hemp extract, sunflower Lecithin, Quillaja Extract, and Potassium Sorbate.

Canapa-22.jpgThe next product that we took a look at is their Canapa Spettro 1000mg and this also come in a 1fl oz bottle also. This formula is a full spectrum CBD tincture. This product shows a wide array of cannabinoids outside of CBD, such as CBN, CBG, CBDV, CBDA. This product may contain a tiny amount of THC. They are always farm bill compliant and if this product does contain any THC of 0.3% or less. When we used this product we made sure we shook well before using and you can fill the dropper full, but I always start by using half a dropper to make sure my body can tolerate this product. I place that amount on my tongue. It didn't taste bad at all. It was easy to consume and I would recommend it.

Overall I was quite impressed with their website. I know that I can trust their website and I know what I'm getting. It shows me how to use the product and all the background information that I need to know. It even shows me how it was made and the research behind it. Canapa goes above and beyond for their customers and I would recommend checking their products and website out.

Moonmag Organic Skincare Summer Fun


When it come to skincare I have to be super careful what products that I use. I have very sensitive skin and I can break out while using certain products. There are times where I can break out in bad acne or even hives at times and I'm not using any products. That why I'm always on the search of finding amazing product that will help and nourish my skin.

Lotion - MoonMag Organic SkinCareMoonmag is an amazing organic skincare company. The owner suffered from skin conditions and created a skincare line that is absolutely amazing. We were lucky that we were able to try a few of their products. The first product that we  out was their Goat Milk Lotion. This lotion comes in a 12 ounce bottle. I will be quite honest that I never tried goat milk lotion before. I will admit when I pumped a few drops of lotion out I did notice that it was creamy. It absorbed into my skin quickly and did not leave a ick feeling afterwards. Since I have dry skin I felt like this lotion moisturized it after a few days. My skin started feeling smooth and silky afterwards. The scent to it I couldn't quite get from it. I feel like it kind of smelt like sun tan lotion but they said it smells like coconut. You can use this lotion as much as you would like. I personally put this lotion out for anyone to use in my household. Everyone seemed to like it. My family has been definitely using this lotion. Their hands have been dry due to washing them a lot and hand sanitizer. 

Probiotic Goat Milk & Kefir Soap - MoonMag Organic SkinCareThen we got a few surprised in our box. The first surprise was Goat Milk Soap bars. I'm not quite sure on the scent which I think it's black licorice. This soap bar will help restore the skin's pH and natural defenses. This soap would be great during the quarantine right now. It can help prevention against bacteria,  and viruses and help resolve skin issues like bacne, acne, eczema and other skin disorders. This soap bar is very gentle and can be used on all types of skin. This soap bar comes in four scents: Black Licorice & Coffee, Lavender, Rosemary, and Honey & Oats. 

Then we received a sample of their eye cream. This came in a little jar but it have a few uses to it. I made sure I used it sparingly. I could tell that this eye cream was a whipped product. I took a small amount and put it near the eye area and it rubbed in quickly. It absorbed great and did not irritate the skin. From the sample I would recommend this product. 

The next sample we took a look at is their Silky Milky Cleansing Milk. This comes in a .5 oz bottle. When we used a little in our daily beauty regime it was a nice product. I loved how this product smelled like lavender. It relaxed me right away. I would look into this product more after testing it out. 

I'm glad that I found Moonmag Organic Skincare. I was quite impressed with their products. They were high quality products. Also I was excited that I was able to use these products on my skin. They were very gentle and not harsh which was refreshing. I would recommend taking a few minutes and checking out their other products out on their website.

I wanted to share with you the story of Ama because the story needed to be told. Ama is a 10-year-old girl who was born in Las Marias, Puerto rico in the mountainous region of the island. Her parents named her in honor of the flower Amapola, but she goes by "Ama", which in the Spanish languages means "to love". 

She was fascinated by the magic coffee beans stories told by her beloved great-grandfather Tono, the coffee farmer who's coffee made it all the way to the Vatican City. Ama decided to plant her own coffee with a collection of magical seeds that survived hurricane Maria. 

Ama represents the power of youth and shows how with one small step, a positive mind and a lot of curiosity and enthusiasm one can make a big difference. She is a young entrepreneur who sells the best coffee to delight others and have them fall in love with the beautiful island of Puerto Rico. In the process, she educates children at risk, helping them to escape poverty through the power of coffee. 

This is a great blend to invest it not just because it amazing blend it also has an amazing story to tell. The blend is made with 100% arabica beans from Puerto Rico. This came in a whole bean which you will have to ground to your preference. The blend has an amazing aroma to it.

Tweexy



I know it been crazy the past few weeks. I know this upcoming Mother's Day I want a manicure. I know that I will have to have one at home because everything is closed. Tweexy is a company that offers nail polish holders and and nail files. This would go perfect with other manicures for Mother's Day.

My daughter thought this was amazing. She is at the stage when she starting to want to paint her nails and have mani days at home. Before she used this product she would always struggle finding a place to put her nail polish bottle. With Tweexy nail polish holder it is easier for to paint her nails. It fit on your finger securely. It fits just right on your fingers. Then you put the polish bottle in the middle of this holder and it will hold majority of nail polish bottles. I would recommend testing your nail polish before trying to paint your nails. 

The next product that we took a look at is their blue glass nail file. This glass nail file is made in the Czech Republic from genuine Czech Etched Float Glass and the best quality. There is a feature a unique fine to medium grit double sided etched filing surface which allows you to file your nails with a lighter touch and any direction. I usually don't use nail files due to finding that they damage my nails or I just don't like the feeling. This nail file was gentle and smoothed my nail out in no time. I would highly recommend this nail file. It is one of my favorites. I also like how it has a case to protect it from. I was impressed. 

These two products would go perfect for our Mother daughter manicure. That is what we are planning for on our Mother's Day. We are planning a spa day with my daughter and I. We are definitely going to be using these products. Head over to Tweexy and find these two product over there. They also offer a variety of different colors.

Funbites Spring Review


When my daughter has lunch I like to have bite sized pieces for her due to her sometimes trying to eat to much time at once. Or she loves to have cheese and she tries to stuff to much in her mouth at a time. Sometimes I try to cut in bite size pieces and that does not always work to well. I came across a fun site called Fun Bites. Fun Bites is a cutter that can cut numerous types of foods such as sandwich, pancakes, cheese, melon and so much more.
Well I was lucky that I got to be able to try Fun Bites. They come in two different shapes one a normal square cutter and the other is a heart shaped cutter. I chose to review the normal square cutter. I made a sandwich for my four year old and wanted to try it out so bad. So I followed the directions on how to use the fun bite cutter. I first put the sandwich on the counter. Than I placed the funbites cutter on top of the sandwich. I removed the top popper and I put it to the side for the moment. Then I rocked the cutter back and forth a few times to cut all the way through the sandwich to cut the sandwich in bite size pieces. This is a very sturdy product and do not be afraid to press hard you will not break it!. After doing that step you put the top part back in and push the bite size pieces out. I also love this product because you can wash this by hand or dishwasher safe!! This was very easy to me and very quick and it did not take much time to use. All you do is press down rock it and push it out and you are good to go. I found this handy for even snack time or if were running late and need lunch in the car great way to have fun size bites in the car and no mess. This is a great item to have on hand anytime of the year. I know this is recommend for children but I also would recommend it for elders also. This would be great for elders. I remember when I worked as a CNA we had to cut items up in small bite size pieces and this would be a great investment.

I am a huge honey fan. I know when my kiddos and I get sick during the winter season it can be tough. I know when one of my kids or myself complain of a soar throat I bring out the honey. Honey has always been a go to for me during  winter season.

They want to offer healthy, safe and natural products matching technologies and to support the apiculture industry to ensure the quality and safety of bee products.
\We were excited that we received their Bee & You Royal Jelly Bee Pollen Propolies and Propolis Raw Honey Throat Spray. 
 first product that we reviewed Was their Royal Jelly Bee Pollen Propolies. What I like about this supplement it that it's chewable. Which I like because I'm not a fan of swallowing pills that leave  a weird after taste. This is 500mg and comes with 60 tablets. This is a two month supply. This help build you immune system and help prevent you getting sick. 

The last product that we received was their Bee & You Bee Pollen Whole Granules. This is a product that I was not aware of before today. I find this one the most interesting. The question is how do you use this product? It can be consumed directly or mixed with food such as milk, museli, yoghurt, or fruit juice. It is recommended to consume at least 2-4 teaspoon by adults. For children it recommended that they get 1-2 full teaspoons per day or as needed. Here is a fun fact that I learned from their website is due to the presence of vitamins, minerals and proteins, anyone can actually survive only by feeding on pollen and water. It contains Vitamin B-complex vitamins, calcium, potassium, zinc and iron. 
Overall I learned a lot of information about these amazing products. They just do wonders and help your throat and body. That they are amazing product and will help your body get what it needs. We love the raw honey and would definitely get it again. You can find more about their products here

When finding skincare product for your self and your child can be quite a struggle. I know as a mom I'm always looking to see what the ingredients are in my skincare products. I ask myself are they safe? Will these product irritate my skin or my child's?

When I learned about Ever Eden I knew I could stop worrying and knew that they offer a line of skincare products for your child and yourself. They spend a lot of time and research to make sure their isn't any unwanted ingredients in their products. Which puts me at ease and that is why I know I can buy their products.

I was excited when we received three of their products. We received Lifting and firming lotion, multi purpose healing balm, and nourishing stretch mark cream. 
Multi-Purpose Healing Balm
The first product that we took a look at was their Multi Purpose Healing Balm. This balm is for babies and mom. This balm is known for every emergency that a baby may have. This balm helps treats rashes, inflammation and irritated skin. This balm can help mom out to and just babies. It can help protect and heal chafed nipples, lips, scars and cuts. If your baby or yourself has dry skin than this product can help hydrate it. I know this product is perfect for my sensitive skin. There are times where my skin is extra dry and I need a balm to help my dry skin quickly. This balm absorb quickly and does't leave a greasy feeling afterwards which is nice. This product is an all natural blend of luxious superfoods including organic rosehip, sunflower seed, and grapeseed oils. By combing these ingredients together it helps restore and protect you dry, irritated or sensitive skin. This balm does not have petroleum and is silicone free. This balm is amazing and is a must have. What is pretty neat is that you can use balm for yourself or for your baby.

Nourishing Stretch Mark CreamThe next product that we took a look at is their Nourishing Stretch Mark Cream. This is one product I wish I had after having my children. This is a concern a lot of moms have after giving birth is the stretch marks. I know this is a common insecurity of new moms after having a baby. The benefits of using this Nourishing Stretch Mark Cream is that it reduces the appearance of stretch , smoothens and corrects skin imperfections, and provides intensive hydration. This is 100 percent pregnancy safe. There are no ingredients in this cream that will hurt you or your baby. This cream is formulated with nutrient dense superfoods such as mango butter, organic coconut and rosehip oils. This combination helps hydrate your growing skin while centella provides a natural source of collagen and amino acids to reduce the appearance of stretch marks during pregnancy, weight loss, growth spurts and more. After using this product for a few weeks I have noticed a difference. My skin looks more hydrate and the marks seem to be fading slightly. Which is a nice thing. 
Lifting and Firming Lotion
The last product that we received was their lifting and firming lotion. Are you looking for firmer and toner skin that this product may be for you. This product focuses on lifting, firming and toning skin. This also helps reduce the appearance of your postpartum scars if you have any. I used this cream for my c section scare. I have always been touchy when it comes to that scar. I also have a few other scars that I use this cream for. This lotion also provides intensive hydration. This can be used as anti aging and firming powerhouse infused with natural collagen, seaweed and avocado extracts. This helps lift and tighten your skin. This helps reduce the appearance of cellulite. This product is a must have.

That is what is important. I like knowing what is put in the product and is safe for myself and my child.

Queen Play Pits


Kids grow up fast. I can't believe that both of my kids are almost teenagers. I wish I could stop the time before I know it they will be all grown up. Play Pits for us by Mom offers a line of deodorants for teens. The designs and scents of the deodorants are pretty amazing. When I took the deodorant out of the package you could smell it and it smelt amazing.

My daughter is getting at the age where she is going to need to be wearing deodorant. Although that chat about wearing bras and using deodorant has been a tough one. I don't even know where to start that conversation because her response is ewww that gross. Although Play Pits deodorant makes it fun for her. When I showed her the deodorant she actually wanted to know more about it. She liked the fact that it had a great scent to it and it said Queen on there. 

The deodorant is a sweet but sultry fusion of lemon, rich amber and jasmine. This smell great all day long. My daughter said if she put it on she could smell it later that night. This does help making her smell fresh all day. It easy to put on and it doesn't clump up while putting it on. I would recommend putting on deodorant on after taking a shower or cleaning your pits with soap and water. 

These are great deodorants for your teens and preteens and I would recommend looking into them. These are fun for kids and my daughter absolutely loves Queen. I would recommend checking their products out on their website.

Walkee Paws Pet Guide

Confetti Leggings NewWe live in Michigan and when it comes to fall and winter months I get nervous for my pets. When it comes to winter months my two small dogs struggle when  go out in the snow. Even rain in that matter. Their paws become wet and cold and it takes them both awhile to get warm again. Also it doesn't help then they smell like wet dog.

When I heard about Walkee Paws I was intrigued to learn more about their products. Lisa Baronoff is a proud pet owner of Toffee and Stir Fry. She is a huge dog lover and she concerned over the germs, chemicals, rain and snow that her dogs were coming in contact with their daily walks. She tried normal dog booties and her dogs hated them. They were uncomfortable for her pets and hard to put on them. She came up with Walkee and they're dog leggings for your pets. 

We're lucky that we received two pairs of Walkees. One for Penny and one for Lucy. We received a skull one and one that was black and polka dots. What I like about these that there easy to put on your fur baby. Although Penny it was easy Lucy on the other hand was a little difficult. In the picture you see at the paws there is a rubber foots. There also has grippers on the bottom of the foot. Penny seemed to like this product and she went outside and walked a lot outside. Lucy not so much she kept trying to bite at it. Overall I love the concept of this idea. I like the rubber where the paws are. This protects your dogs paws. If your dog is out in the snow or rain your dogs paws are protected. There are plenty of different styles and sizes. You can check our their website here

Ice Chip Candy



When it comes to candy in my household it goes quickly. I won't lie that my  is obsessed with candy. I limit her of course but she is obsessed and always asking for it. I do worry about how much sugar she intakes when she eats candy. Well as a mom I'm lucky does love her veggies as well. 

I was excited when I learned about Ice Chips Candy. This is a sugar free candy and let me tell you it taste amazing. I have tried these in the past and we loved them in the past and we still love them. What I have noticed about this product is that they have a lot more variety of flavors now then they used to. We received their variety pack that includes six full tins with their most popular flavors. We received their Berry Mix, Peppermint, Root Beer, Lemon, Cinnamon and licorice. 

Berry mix is tart and tangy when you try it. This flavor is supposed to remind you of when you picked those amazing berries.

Peppermint taste like peppermint. I love this flavor and I put this in the car. When I go in somewhere I always pop one of these. They are amazing. 

Licorice is my favorite. I don't have to worry my kids are not fond of this flavor. That means more for me. Although I can't blame them when it gone within a few days. 

Cinnamon is another good one. If your a fan of red hots than this ice chip is for you. I like this product and they're amazing. I only can eat a few at a time or it overwhelms me. 

Lemon flavor was ok. It wasn't my favorite. My kids gravitated towards this more. They said it tasted like lemonade and they liked it. 

The last flavor was root beer and this was a favorite in our household. It seemed like everyone was fighting over it. I would say it tasted just like root beer. I couldn't get enough.

Overall I love this candy. I feel like I can't put the tin down. What I like about this candy that it sugar free, but you would never be able to tell. If you're not fond of those flavors that is ok. There is a wide variety of these and you'll be able to choose the flavors that you like. Check them out on their website.

Gray Matters Game



Finding something to when your home in quarantine can be hard at times. It been a few weeks here thats everyone been home. The kids handled it well so far, but you can tell they're starting to get buggy. So find things for them to do is kind of hard at times. 

One thing that you can do during this quarantine is have family game night. Gray Matters Games was very nice to send our family two of their games for our game night. They sent over Game of Wolf a Trivia Game and You Bet Cha.

The first game that we played together was The Game of Wolf Trivia Game. This game is a fun Strategic Trivia Game that will test how loyal your family is. This game will who who is the strongest in your pack. Will you be the strongest? My kids are are very competitive and let me tell you that they wanted to win. In this game you can choose to have a partner or go in alone. If you choose to be a lone wolf you will get double the points. This game is recommended for children 14 and up. It's also recommended for 4 or more players. This is a fun trivia game that will have you laughing and having a great time. This is perfect for family night and give you something to do while your at home during the quarantine. 

The second game that we were able to ry is You Bet Cha. This is the original version of this game. There is three ways to play this game and it determined by a roll of the dice. This is a combination of the fun wagering against your opponent's trivia knowledge with a race against the clock making for fun time. When I took out the game at first I was overwhelmed. Although when I read the instructions it was a lot more simpler than I thought at first. This game includes 100 custom poker chips where you are able to wager on questions. Six dry erase boards and makers to write your answers down. There are 168 subject cards and containing 3000 answers. This reminds me a lot like poker but it trivia instead. It a lot of fun. Where you wager the amount for each question. This was a lot of fun to play with my kiddos. 

Overall both game would make great games to play at Family Game Night. Right now this is what families need during this quarantine. We had a fun time trying out both games and it brought a lot of smile and laughs. I would highly recommend looking into this website for fun games that are available.

Turdcules Spring Review

I know this maybe a little gross and a little personal but there are times I go in the bathroom and I feel like throwing up. Sometimes my kids forget the flush or their poop smells awful. That is the worst feeling when you have to go and you have to plug your noise while going. Trying to get through in going. 

I'm so grateful for Turdcules and their review package. Especially right now when my kids are home all day due to covid-19 it can get pretty bad in the bathroom. With Turdcules I can actually go into the bathroom and not be afraid. I can go into the bathroom and go number two and not be ashamed. When you walk out no one will never know. Turdcules created their product due to necessity. The act of nature that spawned the need for fresh bathroom fragrance is nothing new. They wanted create a product that didn't have flowers or naked angel babies on their products. So they created a line for men that is manly. They made Exixirs that have enough pop-prietary potency to cover up the foulest of smells. 

We were sent their full collection to try out. It came with: 

10 Gallon Shat smells like bonfire and bad decisions. This has hints of campfire embers and smooth whiskey. 

There's Something Brewing and that smells like Wisdom and Grandpa Stories. It smells like coffee beans and pipe tobacco.

Turdpedo smells like sunburns and victory. This smells like gunpowder and motor oil and grapefruit and lime. 

Sasquat smells like camping and living legends. Smells like evergreen trees and wild berries. 

Turdally Awesome smells like good vibes and wicked waves. Smells like satsuma & mint and cayenne pepper.

LogSplitter smells like tree bark and grit. It smells like leather and pine & moss. 

Pooseidon smells like sunken ships & drunken sailors. Smells like teak wood and pirate rum. 

These sprays are easy to use all you have to do is spray the toilet a couple spritz and your good to go. It amazing how well this works and smells. I can go in the bathroom and not have to worry about all those nasty smells. I would highly recommend these elixirs for your bathroom. I would check out their website.

MakeCrate Quarantine for Kids

It's been a tough time around our world due to the current situation that we're in. Kids are home from school. Where some schools can help children with  and activities there are some school that aren't. That is where as a parent I have been looking for activities that my children can do when they are at home. 

When I found MakeCrate I knew this would be perfect for my son. This is not only right up his alley this also educational. This is a monthly subscription service that is delivered right to your door. There are options to purchase. You don't have to buy a whole year subscription. If you are not sure this kit is for you. There is an option to buy it month to month until your sure. I like that option due to being a single mom there might be a month where I can't afford it. I can purchase this box when I have the extra money.

If you are looking for a S.T.E.M. project for your kids than this kit is for you. My son is a hands on kind of guy and when he learned about MakeCrate he was super excited. In these kits you can build your calculator, room alarm, musical instruments and more. When you receive your monthly kit you will be able to complete two projects. When you order a kit you will have to be able to access a computer. There is classes and instruction for your kit. There are step by step illustrated instruction and video tutorials. This will help kids succeed in their project. 

When I gave this kit to my son he was excited to try it out. He registered online and started to build his kit. When it comes to anything like this I'm not good at it. My son on the other hand he lives and breath this kind of activity. He figured out how to do this very quickly. Overall he said it was fun and educational. He wants me to subscribe so he can get more boxes when he is at home. You can find more about MakeCrate on their website.

Zenimal is a kid friendly device that is easy to use and brings mindfulness into everyday life that is portable and screen-free. 

Right now this product is perfect for kiddos that are stressed with everything that is going on. With covid-19 kids are at home and it has uprooted their schedules.

The Zenimal can provide the tools that are needed to help your child process these emotions effectively.
