I was able to choose an item to review from YouCopia. I chose the Spice Stack.

I have so many spices, and it’s a pain to pull out so many different bottles just to find the right one. And it always seems the one I need is all the way in the back! This is where the Spice Stack comes into play. I LOVE IT! It makes grabbing your spices so quick and easy. I chose the most used spices in the house and put them in each drawer. There are labels for you to use to make it even easier. I think I am going to have to buy another one so my spice cabinet is nice and organized. Ahhh, I love that word…ORGANIZED. It keeps your cabinet looking neat and not like a tornado of spice bottles hit it.

Here are some features:

• Organizes 18 full-size or 36 half-size spice bottles
• Fits standard cabinets, measures 8.0 W x 8.5 H x 10.9 L inches
• Includes 96 (48 printed, 48 blank) drawer labels
• Non-skid feet hold unit securely in place
• No assembly required, units are stackable

Youcopia.com also has coffee pod and capsule storage.

I was given the opportunity to review the Deluxe Fresh Flow Pet Fountain from Petmate.

Description:

The Deluxe Fresh Flow® is a purifying pet fountain providing filtered water throughout the day. Perfect for multiple cat or dog households that love fresh flowing water, this award-winning fountain features a unique, patented no-splash water-slide. The re-circulating flow and filter provides naturally cool and oxygenated water, attracting pets to drink more in order to help promote their health and well-being. The Deluxe Fresh Flow has a modern design created to blend in with today’s kitchen appliances. Available in 2 colors and 3 sizes, each unit comes with a replaceable charcoal filter. Change filter every 30 days to ensure freshness.

My cat, Tish, loves cool, fresh water. She likes when you first give her water, but doesn’t seem to like it after it’s been sitting for a while. This is one reason why I was excited to get this pet water fountain. It has a constant flow of fresh water, just what Tish likes! Call me lazy, but I enjoy not having to give her water all the time.

The assembly directions were easy to follow. I thought it would be tough, but it wasn’t.

The Deluxe Fresh Flow Pet Fountain has a little “slide” that the water comes from in the middle. The water goes down the “slide”  into the bowl and just flows continuously. Tish doesn’t seem to have one favorite spot. Sometimes she drinks right where the water comes out at the top, and sometimes she drinks from the bowl. I really think that she likes this a lot better than a plain bowl of water.

The fountain plugs  into the wall, so you have to keep in mind where you would be putting this. We had no problem because there was a plug nearby. The motor does make a noise but is not loud at all.

I had to keep sneaking up on Tish to try to get her pic while she was drinking. It’s like she knew I wanted to take her picture!

 Two thumbs and four paws up!

Product Description from the company:

I was given the chance to try out and review Mia Mariu makeup. I chose the following products:

The eyeshadows went on nice and smooth. Each duo contains two colors that compliment each other. One is lighter and one darker. The older I get, the less apt I am to choose sparkly eyeshadow. You know, the shadow that has sparkles that never seem to go away! This shadow was shimmery without being sparkly.

I wanted to quickly throw some eyeshadow and eyeliner on to show a little before and after:

Review:

I was super excited to review The Cotton Front-Closure Leisure Bra AKA The Most Comfortable Bra in America™ from Leading Lady. As you may know, I have reviewed a bra from them before. (Check out that review here.)

I like a little padding in my bra, so I thought it would take some getting used to since it isn’t padded. To tell you the truth, I didn’t miss it one bit with this bra. It fits very well and keeps ‘em where they belong! This bra is very comfy and super cute! I chose the black with white polka dots. It closes in the front with 6 hooks. This makes it so much easier to get on and off. This would actually be awesome for a breastfeeding mom! Think of how easy it would be to quickly feed a hungry crying baby.

The Cotton Front Closure Leisure Bra comes in a variety of sizes: 36-50 A/B 36-52 C/D/DD 38-52 F/G/H.

Leading Lady knows that every woman is different. One woman can have a small band size with a large cup size and another woman can have a large band size with a small cup size. I think I’ve found my favorite bra company!

I was happy to be able to review a pair of prescription glasses from Firmoo.com.

What is Firmoo? Firmoo is an online eyeglass store. They have over 300 styles to choose from. They offer metal, plastic, titanium, mixed materials, memory metal and memory plastic glasses in full frame, semi-rimless, rimless, or spring hinge. They also offer prescription sunglasses.

Virtual Try on

This was cool. You upload a pic of yourself and you “try on” glasses. Of course, it’s not going to work 100%, but it gets the job done. I liked that I could see what the glasses may look like on me before I chose them. This is great because some shapes aren’t good for my face.

What I Chose:

After using the virtual try on feature, I decided on the glasses I wanted to review.

The style I chose is #SDSB1239.

Here’s what they look like on me:

Some may say I have a large noggin. For this reason, sometimes it’s hard to find glasses that fit. These fit great. These are now my go-to glasses. I wear them all the time. Unfortunately, I checked the site recently and it looks like the manufacturer is phasing these frames out, so they are no longer available. But don’t fret, they have lots of other great styles to pick from.

Frugal and Fashionable 

For the cost of 1 pair of glasses at the brick-and-mortar store, you can get like 8 pairs of glasses from Firmoo. Prices start at $8.oo. They have many styles to choose from. Elegant, classy, nerdy, retro…whatever your look, you can accessorize with glasses from Firmoo.

First Time Buyers Program

This is the icing on the cake. Firmoo has a first time buyers program where you can choose your first pair of glasses for FREE. Yes, I said FREE! All you do is pay for shipping. This includes frames AND prescription lenses! Who doesn’t love a deal? Pass this along to your friends and family. Nice! Click HERE to learn more.

My kids are just like most. They love sugary cereals. They wouldn’t have a problem if all I purchased were cereals loaded with sugar. But, as a mom, I try to look for cereals that are wholesome and nutritious. I’m lucky that even though my kids like sugar packed cereals, they do like non-sugary cereals, too. (Whew!)

Thanks to Mom Central and Kellogg’s I was sent some cereals to review.

I sat down with my boys and tried each of these cereals.

Kellogg’s Raisin Bran My sons don’t like raisins. However, they will eat Kellogg’s Raisin Bran! It’s the only way they will eat them!

Kellogg’s Corn Flakes We’ve always enjoyed this. Kellogg’s Corn Flakes are also good crushed up in recipes as a coating for chicken or in desserts.

Kellogg’s All Bran This one was not our favorite. It’s not that it’s bad, it’s just not at the top of our list. I think I would personally like it better with cut up strawberries or other fruit.

Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Original This one is the favorite out of all. I grew up with Snap, Krackle and Pop

Kellogg’s Rice Krispies Gluten Free My boys said they could tell the difference in taste and would rather have the original. It’s similar, so it’s great for people with gluten-free diets. 

I grew up eating Kellogg’s Cereals. Now that I have kids of my own, it’s great to know that Kellogg’s takes a “Seed to Spoon” approach to making their cereals.
