K-CARAFE and K-CUP Filters - Review

Coffee! I love coffee!
I also love to save money. So these re-usable filters are great for saving money. Using these re-usable filters also helps you use less waste.
Anyone who has a k-cup brewing machines knows they can get spendy and generate a lot of trash.
So I thought why now.
You will get 2 different brewing filters. One is your standard k-cup size for brewing 1 cup, the other is a carafe size allowing you to brew up to 5 cups. LOVE that!
Both where very easy to use - Simply fill with your favorite coffee or tea and brew like normal.
Super east to rinse clean in the sink after use.
Freedom Brew 2.0 who is the supplier even offers a money back guarantee if you don't love it you can let them know.

Reach Cable 10 Foot iPod/iPad Cord - Review

One thing I have learned in this age of electronics is you can never have too many cords for iDevices.
Between the 6 of us we have 7 devices. I am not sure if my kids are selling cords at some high school black market but I have heard to many times MOM I need a charging cord.
I personally love the longer cords, then I can lay in bed and listen to music while my phone is charging. So this 10 foot cord from Reach Cable is perfect. Another thing I really like about this cord is it is durable, It is made of a braided fabric for extra durability.
Overall I am super happy with this cable.

Review - Travel Umbrella

I am never getting wet again!
Absolutely loving this automatic open and close Umbrella by Oak leaf. It is the perfect travel size, measures 37 inches so it can be put into a work bag or if your purse is like mine it will fit perfectly.
In the name of review science I tested the automatic open close in my kitchen about a dozen times. Worked great! The automatic open would be perfect for a mom with small kids, Someone who has mobility issues or if you have your hands full.  One true test for me personally is once its open how does it close back up does the strap close nicely, and it did.
 I can tell by the look and feel of this umbrella that it is well made with premium materials. Oak leaf even backs that up with a Life time guarantee.

Review - Small Basket by Creative Scents

I don't know what it is about baskets I can never have enough. I love them so many uses for them.
I really like the size of this Woven Small storage basket. It is 8.2" X 11.4" X 5.3", Just right for washrags in my opinion. Well for right now at least. I am sure I will look at it one day and say I want that basket here, or here.
It is very well made from plastic, so it will be very easy to clean and keep clean. Just wipe it down with a damp rag. I bought the brown basket but as I was looking I see they have gray and white.
I am thinking I may need a few gray ones for my bedroom.

Review - Genuine Australian Lambswool Car Interior Duster

I have always wanted a Lambswool duster, It is so soft! I decided I am going to keep the duster in the house and use it to do my weekly cleaning/dusting. Even the kids wanted to try it.
It is a perfect size to get all my dusting done. It is 16 inches long and 4 inches wide. Weight is 2oz  nice and light.  It easily went around the TV, books on the bookshelf and even my breakable knick knacks. Its almost like it is a dust magnet. This duster is made from 100% Australian lambswool.
After I was done cleaning for the day I took the duster out on the deck and shook it out. I think I will do this until I feel the need to wash it out.
I received this duster at a discount in exchange for my honest review, all opinions are 100% my own.

Review - Eucalyptus Essential Oil 4 OZ

I remember as a kid my grandma always had Eucalyptus in her home. I loved the smell of it and it still reminds me of her. Such a pleasing smell to me.
Since it is that time of the year. Colds, Sniffles, Runny Noses - Yuck and Yuck!
The last few nights I have been using this Eucalyptus oil in my diffuser it is so nice when your not feeling 100%.  I did a little more readying on the uses of this oil here and it is pretty versatile. From cold sores to spot removers.
I really like the fact that the UpNature is 100% pure oil - no junky fillers.
You get a good size bottle that will last plus a nice glass dropper for easy use.
They also offer a %100 risk free purchase

Review - Backseat Car Organizer

I have 3 kids - 2 teens and 1 toddler still in diapers. As anyone who has or had a toddler knows with a toddler comes STUFF. Toys, snacks, wipes, more snacks.
So in order to keep the backseat of my car in some sort of "order" I needed help.
When I saw the opportunity to review this backseat organizer I jumped to the chance.
It also came with a visor organizer that the hubs took for his work truck.
I am very happy with the quality of this organizer, I can tell by the look and fell of it that it is very well made and will hold up to our use and abuse! It was very easy to install in my car.
It has plenty of pockets for all the must haves, Even if you didn't have kids this would still make a great addition to your car. You could load it up with emergency supplies, road trip goodies or even car detailing items.
Overall I am very pleased with this purchase, as I write this I am thinking I might get a second one for the other seat.

Review - Briskbars Vegan Energy Bars

I was given the opportunity to review Briskbars Vegan Energy bars, I am not a Vegan but I am a mother of a toddler, 2 teens who works a full time job and tries to keep the ship a float at home.
So the ENERGY part is what really got me intrigued.

Right on the label I read stronger then a shot of espresso!
I will take that challenge.
I really liked the flavor Dark Chocolate & Coconut. Great combo The texture was nice as well not chalky or hard to eat.
I felt an energy boost after eating 1 bar.  But not to much that
I felt jittery, Just right for me.
These little bars would be perfect before a workout.
I plan on keeping one in my purse in case I need a boost at work.

Review - BUTEFO Magbox Macbook Magsafe 2 Charger

I picked up the BUFEFO charging adaptor for my sister who seems to always have a dead phone and no charger. We work together and having her phone is a must for scheduling. When I brought it to her we put it to the test together. Connected perfectly. We where working at her desk so it was nice and flat and didn't move. We both really liked the look, sleek and lightweight. I said it matches her computer perfectly. I received this product at a discount for my honest review. I can honestly say it does exactly what is says!

How I save $13.10 per week with meal/snack prep

My significant other is a truck driver for a big name truck stop. So on an average workday for him he will go to 5 or so truck stops a day. As most folks know truck stops and gas stations are junk food heaven. OVER priced junk food heaven!

So after doing the math during our last budget session we decided we needed a plan B to end the Over priced snacking. One of the items I came up with was these meat & cheese cups.

They are $4.25 a piece at the truck stop. I was able to make them at home for the week for just $1.63

That is a $2.62 savings per day and $13.10 per week

(I had enough meat to do 6 cups from the pack in the picture)

Meat -  .83¢ per cup

Cheese - .80¢ per cup

Total per Cup $1.63

Finished product 

5 meat and cheese snack cups
