My Review/Thoughts~

I suffer from a lot of arthritis issues and my doctor has stressed that I need a level below low impact exercise. She has said either swimming or walking. I did listen to her warnings but that was until I received the DeskCycle Ellipse to review for my 2018 holiday gift guide. I really feel like this was the answer to my prayers as being on disability, I have limited exercise options. Setting up the DeskCycle Ellipse could not have been easier with it’s quick and easy assembly. I took it out of the box, Installed the right and left pedals and the 4 screws and you are all set to exercise. This could not have been simpler. The DeskCycle Ellipse is the newest member of the DeskCycle family. It has 8 levels of smooth and quiet Magnetic Resistance. It has 17 inch long pedals which lets you choose the shape of your elliptical motion by where you place your feet. You can even place it under a desk clearing of 24 inches. I am so very happy that I found the DeskCycle Ellipse. If you have that person on your that has everything and you never have a clue as to what to get them, Then this is the perfect gift for them or even for yourself.

I highly recommend the DeskCycle Ellipse and give it my thumbs up. You can go HERE to purchase the DeskCycle Ellipse and you can also stay up to date by following them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.

About The Product/Company~

It may surprise you to learn that the Crock-Pot® slow cooker, used in so many kitchens around the world, debuted over four decades ago as a simple bean cooker. At this time, the Crock-Pot® brand defined a new way for homemakers to serve an affordable, tender, delicious meal to their families using inexpensive cuts of meat and offered assistance to busy moms caring for their family with a convenient cooking method that helped minimize time in the kitchen. Crock-Pot® slow cookers are a part of many fond family memories as a recollection of favorite dishes and cooking aromas from generations past.
Nothing brings good times and good friends together like delicious food. Crock-Pot® slow cookers have been the center of countless gatherings, get-togethers, cookouts, and, thanks to our line of ultra-portable Crock-Pot® Cook & Carry™ slow cookers, tailgating parties. In recent years, we have designed specialty products to make entertaining easier and more convenient, including the Crock-Pot® Hook-Up™ Connectable Entertaining System. Whether cooking for two or entertaining a crowd, the convenience and ease of Crock-Pot® slow cookers make dishing up home-cooked meals, and memories, simple, smart and fun!
The Crock-Pot® Programmable Casserole Crock Slow Cooker makes family dinners, potlucks and parties easier than ever! Its rectangular design is the perfect size and shape to prepare everyone’s favorite casseroles, lasagna, desserts, and more. It’s ideal for make-ahead meals that you and your family can come home to, simplifying mealtime.
The fully programmable control panel sets cook time on low or high temperature, anywhere from 30 minutes up to 20 hours, providing convenience for various recipe cook times. You will know the exact time that your food will be ready as the digital timer counts down the remaining cook time. The unique stoneware is oven-safe for use in both the slow cooker base or in a conventional oven. This makes it easy to cook, warm and serve with the flexibility to slow cook and then brown or melt toppings in the oven, or bake first and keep warm in the Casserole Crock. During the holidays when you’re juggling multiple dishes, the Crock-Pot® Programmable Casserole Crock is a lifesaver, freeing up space in your oven. With portability in mind, the Casserole Crock uses our Cook & Carry locking lid system for easy transport without spills.

My Review/Thoughts~

We love anything and everything from Crock-pot. Even tho I am disabled and do not work, Eric does and the thing is that you never know what time he will be getting home. This is why I mostly cook with crock-pots or slow cookers as I can place the items in it and cook away. When it is done, I can then keep the food heated until Eric gets home. The best thing is that the food stays nice and moist. I cannot wait for the Holidays to get here because I plan on buying a few and using them throughout the season. The oval and round ones are wonderful but having one where you can use a rectangle dish is in my opinion….genius! You really need one for your very own.

I give the Crock-Pot® Programmable 3.5-Quart Casserole Slow Cooker my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. You can go HERE to buy one for yourself or that FOODIE on your gift list.

My Review/Thoughts~

I was over the moon just knowing that this was even possible to do for a cat as we have wondered for the past 10 years what really made our 1 cat tick(so to say). Find out what your cat’s DNA can tell you about their ancestry and ultimately their health and habits from Basepaws. Harley, Our 1 cat was adopted through a very reputable catch-spay/neuter/release organization. This will have been the 5th cat we have adopted them over the years. Harley was born in the wild and caught together with her Mother and siblings. The one thing about Harley is that she has no common sense. She will do something and fall but will not learn and do it over and over again. We are convinced that she has ADHD and possibly early signs of dementia. If getting Harly’s DNA tested, Maybe we can find out some of her genetics that might explain her. We love her to death and she is part of our family. If you have cats or know of someone on your gift list who has cats-This would make the perfect Holiday gift for them. You can order your Basepaws kit by going HERE.

My Thoughts/Review and my dogs thoughts too~

Making sure my dogs have toys to play with is 2 fold in my opinion. 1) They don’t chew on things they are not supposed to and 2) They have so much fun. It is so cute to watch them. They can destroy a toy in minutes but that is why I try to buy them toys that can withstand their roughhousing. goDog chew toys are the ones you need to buy. I love how durable the toys are and how well made they are. My husband said he do without the squeaking but I feel that is part of the satisfaction I get when I see them wanting to play with a toy. I usually show you a personal picture of the review item in use but I did let them play with the goDog Santa Dragon Chew Toy for a little bit but I forgot to snap a picture and I want to save it for christmas for them. I wish you could of seen my lab acting like me was a puppy playing with it.

I give the goDog Santa Dragon Chew Toy my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. You can go HERE to buy some for yourself or that special puppy friend on your gift list.

Cookies By Design Christmas Gift Baskets And Gift Trays #Review #HHG18 @cookiesbydesign

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · December 6, 2018

I received the below complimentary product either for free or a discounted price for the purpose of this post. All opinions and thoughts are 100% my own.

About The Product/Company~

Cookies by Design, a woman owned business, was founded in 1983 by Gwen Willhite. Gwen had the idea of making a gift suitable for not only women, but men as well; a gift that he would be excited to receive at his workplace. So she combined two traditional gifts of flowers and sweets and created a deliciously clever concept: the cookie bouquet. Her edible bouquets of custom-shaped and hand-decorated sugar and cinnamon brown sugar cookies on sticks were cleverly arranged in baskets as tasteful gifts for any holiday or occasion. These impressive gifts were instant hits among men and women alike especially because the product tasted as good as it looked and Gwen’s budding enterprise soon outgrew her own home kitchen.
The newly successful entrepreneur moved to a location in nearby, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Then in 1986 when things really picked up, Gwen moved her business to Dallas, Texas. After the Dallas business was established, Gwen turned her attention to the numerous requests from others wishing to start their own Cookie Bouquet franchise. The first franchised Cookie Bouquet location opened in 1987 and the momentum has been growing ever since. To better reflect all of the creative, unique and customized products sold, Cookie Bouquet locations changed their names to “Cookies by Design” and launched the cookiesbydesign.com website to capitalize on the growing ecommerce market.

My Reviews/Thoughts~

Who doesn’t love to receive a gift of food especially if they are cookies. I know in my home that is our favorite thing to receive. Everyone loves a good cookie and you are not being honest if you say you don’t. I was so very happy that I found Cookies By Design as I received a beautiful Christmas Basket and a Christmas Cookie Tray. Along with Christmas cookies in the basket were gourmet cookies that I of course taste tested each and every one of them. No judging please. They were the best. In the Christmas Cookie Tray were Holiday shapes such as candy canes, Christmas trees, snowmen and ginger bread men. They are so very helpful. You owe it to yourself and your gift recipient to send them something delicious and that is something from Cookies By Design.

I highly recommend Cookies By Design and give them my thumbs up. You can go Here to order one for your very own or to give as a gift. You will love it~
