My Review/Thoughts~

I really think it is funny how modern technology has over taken our lives. I was probably the last one to own a computer let alone a laptop and please don;t get me started on music as I still play records. Now, I really never thought I would have use for the Audew 2.7” LCD HD 1080P Car Dash Cam but that was until I received it to review for inclusion in my holiday gift guide. In today’s day n age, You cannot be to careful. I started to think of all the ways that the Audew 2.7” LCD HD 1080P Car Dash Cam could be of a big help to me. Say you were in a car accident this could help by recording the damage. Say you were pulled over by the police, This could help record the incident. Or maybe you see something that you just want to record/save just because. Just because you may think it is pretty or you just need to record it to show someone later. This was the easiest to use and mount on your windshield. The video quality is exceptional. In my opinion, The field of view is more than the other dash cams on the market. It even has collision locking. I am in love with the Audew 2.7” LCD HD 1080P Car Dash Cam and I know you will be too. If you have someone on your holiday gift list who is always buying the latest in technology, Then you need to get them this product or buy one for yourself by going HERE.

I give the Audew 2.7” LCD HD 1080P Car Dash Cam my highest recommendation and my thumbs up.

About The Product/Company~

Charles, George, Thomas, and Mark Crave

Raised on a 40 cow dairy farm near Beloit, Wisconsin, we began farming together in 1978 in Mount Horeb, milking 57 cows on a rented farm. We purchased our Waterloo dairy farm in 1980 with the goal of building a successful agribusiness.

Our family is proud to produce and promote high quality milk and cheese. Through our dairy farm and cheese factory, we enjoy telling the story of dairy farming that emphasizes cow comfort, quality milk and working in harmony with the land to produce quality milk and award winning cheeses.

Numerous groups, international visitors and students have toured our farm. Each of the brothers has also traveled to foreign countries to conduct seminars and help train others in dairy management techniques. In addition, Crave Brothers Dairy Farm has offered work experience for a number of international trainees.

 

Crave Brothers Farmstead Classics cheeses not only taste good, they make you feel good about your choice. Our cheese is made from our farm-fresh milk, produced on a state-of-the-art farm with sustainability practices that help preserve the environment for future generations.

Now that you know a little more about our business practices, we hope you’ll join us in the quest for sustainability. We invite you to reuse and recycle our packaging. Most of all though, we invite you to enjoy our cheese.

My Review/Thoughts~

Boy, Do I love cheese. Now I know people say this but in reality they like cheese. I mean I love cheese. I could eat it 24/7. Every dish that has a ton of cheese in it is my favorite. This is why I was thrilled to review Crave Brothers Cheese Sampler for my holiday gift guide. Just knowing the cheese was made the core values that I hold dear and this farm believes in, It exactly what I have been looking for. Each of the products in the sampler tasted better than the last. The fresh tasting, High quality and farm fresh milk is what sets this cheese a part from the other cheese makers. Plus their price are super affordable. I cannot see myself buying any other brand of cheese because I love it this much. This would make the perfect gift for yourself or any foodie on your holiday gift list.

Quick Bath For #Cats From @ivspet #Review #HGG18

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

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

My Thoughts/ Review~

My cats just turned 10 and my husband has said for a while now that he wants to give them a bath. Now when I hear the word bath, I think of a tub, water and a lot of  scratches. I was thrilled when I received Quick Bath because I never knew their was an alternative to the conventional bath for pets.

Quick Bath wipes are formulated with effective cleaners that remove bacteria and odors from your pets skin. Quick Bath wipes contain Vitamins A & E and Aloe Vera which promotes an overall healthy skin and coat while leaving your pet clean and shiny. Quick Bath wipes are pH neutral and alcohol free.

  • Cleans and reduces Odor & Bacteria
  • Perfect for Cats that are difficult to clean or Elderly
  • Great for in–between baths
  • EXTRA THICK & heavy duty Wipes
  • Super Absorbant
  • Easy, safe and effective to use daily

Now it says “great for in-between baths” but if this is the only way you can bath your cat without the frustration of the conventional way at least it can be a game changer. My cats did not put up a fight at all when we bathed them this way. I thought the slight smell was actually soothing to me and my cats. They just laid on Eric’s lap and seemed to enjoy it.  If you know of any pet owners, This would make the perfect Holiday gift for any pet owner as this also comes in a wipe for dogs and even a tushee wipe.

I give the Quick Bath my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. You can go HERE to buy some for yourself or that special furry friend on your gift list.

Lugz MEN’S DRIFTER ZEO HI #BOOT #Review #HGG18 @LUGZNYC

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

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

Who is your favorite shoe brand? When I find a brand I can trust, I stick with them. This is why I was thrilled when the review opportunity came about to review Lugz MEN’S DRIFTER ZEO HI 6 inch BOOT for my Holiday Gift Guide 2018.

About Lugz~

Always an innovator and leader in footwear, Lugz first made a name for itself in October of 1993, bringing its first line of boots to market, with the initial product consisting of two styles of boots, a quilted vest and a pair of jeans. Soon Lugz was endorsed by key players from the world of hip hop and has continued to do so through out the years. One such collaboration led Lugz to breathe life to a whole new category of footwear with the introduction of the first ever celebrity-endorsed “Funk Master Flex” urban driving shoe. This was only the beginning as support then lead to a collaborative line with hip-hop superstar Bryan “Baby” Williams, aka “Birdman” with his own series of sneakers and boots.

In 2006 Orange County Choppers, the world’s premier builders of custom motorcycles signed on to endorse Lugz shoes, which they were already wearing so it was a natural fit. With its aggressive “built for the streets” reputation Lugz collaborated with Paul Teutul, Jr. to create a signature Lugz shoe “the Torx” which interpreted this incredibly well.

In the fall of 2008 Lugz shot on to the Mixed Martial Arts scene signing its first two MMA fighters, Lyoto Machida and Houston Alexander as endorsers. Machida captured the title of UFC Light Heavyweight Champion as he represented Lugz. With MMA becoming the fastest growing sport/entertainment platform with an increasingly growing fan base, Lugz was excited to be apart of this growing trend and later signed Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. In 2010 Cain Velasquez became the newest endorser of Lugz.; immediately after signing, Cain fought to become UFC World Heavyweight Champion. In 2011, Lugz continued to grow its Team – signing UFC Welterweight Josh Koscheck and UFC Light Heavyweight Phil Davis.

From its inception, Lugz footwear has been an innovator in the footwear market from its signature styles, to creating trendsetting styles beyond boots and has added casual shoes and athletics to the mix for the Lugz men, Lugz women and Lugz kids lines.

 

My Thoughts/Review~

I am in love with anything Lugz! I have never wore a brand of footwear that stands up to anything I throw at it. Like the elements, chemicals and even normal wear and tear. Not only are they the most comfortable footwear that I have ever worn, They are very stylish and offer so many color and different types. You cannot go wrong with giving a pair of Lugz as a gift or buying a pair for yourself.

I give Lugz my highest recommendation and my thumbs up. Giving a pair of Lugz would make any gift recipient the happiness ever and buying a pair for yourself would make you the happiness ever. You can go HERE to buy a pair.

The Spice Lab Spices #Review #HGG18

2018 Holiday Gift Guide, Reviews · 

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

 If you have a cook or a Foodie on your Holiday gift list, Then you need to include The Spice Lab~

About The Product/Company~

What started as a hand-made Christmas gift in 2009, has turned into a multimillion dollar business, named to the 2018 INC 5000 list of the fastest growing U.S. private companies, for the fourth consecutive year.
Today this women-owned and family-run business has a 75,000 sq ft HAACP-certified production facility in Pompano Beach, Florida where it processes and packages seasonings, spices, salts and gourmet gifts for major retailers, specialty food companies, grocery and private label and sold online on Amazon and at www.spices.com
How it all began:
Technology entrepreneur Brett Cramer wanted to share his new-found fascination with gourmet sea salts with his family and friends. Enjoying woodworking as well as being an avid gourmet cook, he handcrafted a wooden base out of scrap lumber to hold test tubes filled with exotic sea salts from around the world. His wife Jennifer, an interior designer, wanted to start a company and thought that Brett’s creation would be an ideal way to enter the gourmet gift business.
Throughout 2010, the company’s online business grew as the company added an array of smoked sea salts and salt collections and became a direct importer. Jennifer’s design background influenced the products and packaging that garnered early market acceptance and ignited sales. Selling his dot-com business in January 2011, Brett joined Jennifer along with a growing staff to devote their energies full time to building The Spice Lab and its retail distribution.
The Spice Lab carries Blends Seasoning & Rubs, Spices, Salts, Teas and Gifts.

My Thoughts/Reviews~

I have been married going on 20 years. I was not the cook in the family until around 10 years ago. My Mom was a fantastic cook. I learned quickly that to be a good cook that you quality ingredients and that goes for your spices too. I received the Taste Of America which INCLUDES: 4 Shaker Jars of one each of the following Chicago Chop Seasoning, Key West Seafood Seasoning, Fiery Southern Charm & Everything and More Seasoning. The fragrance of the spices was simply amazing. I loved how adding these to my dishes really knocked them out of the park. I have never before had so many complements on my cooking as I have after using spices from The Spice Lab.

I give this product my thumbs up and my highest recommendation. This would make the perfect Holiday gift for yourself or that Foodie on your gift list. You can go HERE to order.
