    Review: Skillet Bacon Jam





    what the heck is bacon jam?....


    They take a big bunch of really, really good bacon, and render it down...add a bunch of spices..onions, etc. and let it simmer for about 6 hours...give it a quick puree, blast chill it...and you have bacon jam...




    When I recieved Bacon Jam in the mail- I won't lie I was not all about trying it. It doesn't exactly look pretty but the smell is amazing and the taste is delicious. A little goes a long way and is a great subsitute for things you would normally make with bacon. It's good for putting in mashed potatoes or my favorite on a burger. This stuff is pretty delish! We will be serving it this weekend at a BBQ we will be hosting this weekend at my parents house.


    Bacon Jam, Avocado, Tomato Bruschetta

    You can purchase Bacon Jam for $14.00 or buy in bulk (3) jars for $39.50.

    REVIEW: Mirai- Age Defying Bodycare


    Mirai's bodycare regimen, exclusively designed by their anti-aging specialists in Japan, will help prevent and minimize skincare symptoms associated with diminishing estrogen levels after age 40. Mirai helps prevent Nonenal (no-nay-nal) instantly and deodorizes all day long. The creators of Mirai say that many women notice changes in their body odor after age 40. Reduced estrogen levels and natural again sometimes result in a specific body odor caused by Nonenal, a naturally occuring substance identified by the Japanese cosmetics company Shiseido in 2001. Nonenal can be particurally troublesome to those who are more prone to perspiration or are affected by outside influences that can exacerbate odor.

    The wonderful people of Mirai were nice enough to send me their Age-Defying 3 Step Regimen set. This included the Purifying Body Wash, Purifying Body Serum & Instantly Purifying and Cooling Spritzer. Here are the steps in using this skin regimen:



    Step 1: Purifying Body Wash- Retail $19.00
    Gently Cleanses and helps your skin retain moisture and softness by protecting its natural oil balance. Eliminates toxins and body odor resulting from active lifestyles and hormonal imbalances, for all day freshness & confidence.

    The body wash is super easy to use. I kept it in the shower and all you need to do is apply it to a wet sponge or wash cloth, lather over skin, and rinse well. If you like more later I suggest using a body loofah- which is what I prefer. Focus on washing behind your ears, neck, underarms, groin & feet to remove the oxidized natural oils. You can also use it to wash your face!



    Step 2: Purifying Body Serum- Retail $39.00
    Deeply moisturizes, and helps minimize dryness and the appearance of wrinkles and sagging commonly associated with decreasing estrogen levels. Boosts your skin's natural ability to restore balance and encourage normal, healthy hydration. provides antioxidant protecting from potentially skin damaging free radicals. Supports all day freshness with their Japanese botanicals.

    The Body Serum is a concentrated formula so a little goes a long way- which also means it will last you awhile! You should apply it to any area that needs mositurizing and shoes signs of aging, especially the hands, elbows, knees & legs. Just like the Body Wash it is beneficial to use on your face as well!



    Step 3: Instantly Purifying and Cooling Spritzer- Retail $14.00
    Helps keep you dry and provides superior deodorant protection whenever and whereever you need it, with its light, all natural grapefruit scent.

    It eliminates all body odor instantly and substantially compared to regular deodorant. It's also so small and compact you can toss it in your purse or bag and keep it with you if you feel the need to reapply at a later time. 

    My opinions on the products:

    I really enjoyed the scent of the body wash it had citrus-y scents. It is very smooth and there was no issues when rinsing it after washing. I used it all over and it did not leave my skin with a film-y feeling. I even used it a few times for shaving my underarms!

    I loved how the Body Serum left my skin feeling so moisturinzed. Even on freshly shaved skin there was absolutely no irritation. The scent was very similar to the Body Wash with more of a spice smell. It's nice to use something that doesn't leave you smelling like a flower.

    The Purifying Body Spritzer was my favorite because I could toss it in my bag and keep it with me to use whenever I needed it. I love the grapefruit scrent but it is super light and not overpowering at all!

    Three Cups Book Review!


    I remember when I was in elementary school the bank use to come to our school once a month so that we could make a deposit into our savings accounts. It was such a great feeling watching my account grow. Teaching kids about saving money is so important- but the message told in the book "Three Cups" is so much important. It is about teaching children how to save, spend and be charitable with money.

    I read it to my son and although he does not quite understand the moral of the story we went ahead and set him up three cups (piggy banks , actually) in his room. Adding to his "pig banks" is so exciting to him and after we read this story together it such a joy for him to be able to add to his "pig banks".

    I hope as he gets older and we continue to re-read Three Cups and keep adding to his cups it will be something that he carries with him his entire life. This would be a great gift to give to someone - I know how much we enjoyed receiving it!


    This book is based on a true story about the allowance system a family has set up for their for the last 18 years. You can purchase a copy on their website www.3cupsbook.com or from Amazon. Enjoy the 3 cups Journey!

    Kiki's Fashions Maternity Clothing Review & Giveaway !!!

    Sponsored by Tomoson.com

    Trying to find maternity clothing is hard task all by itself- but trying to find something that is affordable as well is another obstacle. Kiki's Fashions fits both of those criteria with cute and adorable maternity clothing at reasonable prices! Since I am not currently pregnant (I spent most of 2009 & 2010 pregnant!!) my friend volunteered to help with this review! Here is what she had to say about Kiki's Fashions:

    "When I saw the prices, and material of the fabrics, I can honestly say I was not all that enthused about shopping with Kiki's Fashion.  I had previously browsed through the website, and decided not to purchase anything, even though the prices are better than great.  When the opportunity came to try something out, I said of course, who doesn't want to try something free?  Well when I received the package in the mail, I was so pleasantly surprised.  The shirt came wrapped in a clear plastic sleeve for it's protection.  The fabric was not at all what I had imagined.  It's actually very nice and luxurious.  The weave of the fabric was perfect for a breezy warm day, it allows just the right amount of air flow, without letting any of your under garments show through.  I got a Medium, according to the chart size, and I believe for the third trimester, it fits PERFECT.  Nice tummy room, the back tends to fit longer so if you like/need to cover your backside, it is definitely do-able.  The elastics that hold up the top and bottom are the perfect stretch.  They are not too tight, but just tight enough to hold the shirt perfectly in place.  I paired the shirt with basic white capris, and received many compliments.  I would also wear the shirt on a nice night out with a skirt or a nice pair of slacks.  I loved this shirt, was so glad that I got to review the clothing, and would definitely shop from here from now on!  Can't wait to order something for my baby shower!  Thank you Kiki's Fashion for allowing us to have an affordable, yet classy and fashionable option during pregnancy, as we all know fashionable is so rare for maternity clothes! "
     My friend also sent me some photos of her wearing the Purple Smocked Strapless Maternity top. It does not seem like this color is available at this time but they do have it in Pink, White & Gray too! I wish I knew about Kiki's Fashions while I was pregnant it would have been great to have been able to find some great maternity clothes at awesome prices!!

    BrytonPick- Floss in Seconds Review


    When I first read about BrytonPick I was excited to try them. I was even more excited when they came just in time for my trip to my parents house because I knew my younger brother would love to try this product. He is Mr. Toothpick- I swear he always seems to have one! So I gave him the BrytonPick to try and told him to let me know. 

    At first he told he me it was weird. The BrytonPick uses small flexible stainless steel tips to clean between teeth so it almost gives you a strange feeling. He said at first there was a little discomfort but after multiple uses he said that the feeling went away. What he did really like about it was that you could clean it after using and put it back into the carrying case. He liked to keep it in his wallet so he would always have it on him- especially when outside the house and using dental floss is not an option. It is also reusable up to 30 days!

    The BrytonPick is made in the USA from completely recyclable materials. I love that it is environmentally friendly. Also, it helps to reduce the waste of traditional floss.

    You can purchase your own BrytonPick at major retailers, Amazon.com, or from BrytonPick online.
