Shi Studio offers a huge line of jewelry.  They offer custom made pieces too.  They offer bohemian styles that are fun and fresh.  They also offer cuff bracelets too.  These combine a variety of materials for a unique look.  I personally fell in love with their pendants.  They offer a great selection of beautiful pendants.  They are available in a variety of colors and designs.  They look great on anything from a chain to a leather cord.  How would you wear one of these?

I received a beautiful circle pendant from Shi Studios.  It is beautifully made and made with quality materials.  The pendant is made with a silk piece of fabric that features a dragon on it.  I love it.  I get so many compliments on this pendant.  I love that you can customize this pendant to your personal style too.  You can choose things like the shape, color and more.

Skeeter Snacks Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

What do you do when you host a playdate or have an event where you know that there will be kids that have food allergies attending?  I always try and offer allergy free items for these kids.  I personally hate to see a child left out because they have an allergy.  My kids have a number of friends that have nut allergies.  I want to introduce you to a snack that is ok to serve to children with allergies to nuts, but also safe for them to be around.  Skeeter Snacks are completely nut free cookies that are 100% delicious.

Skeeter Snacks began because they wanted to change the way nut free products were made.  They wanted to offer a product that was reasonably priced too.  Skeeter Snacks are clearly labeled too.  I think that is very important.  They are completely committed to nut free snacking.  Pretty neat!  Skeeter Snacks are great for children that have nut allergies, but children that don't have them will love them too.

Skeeter Snacks are crunchy baked cookies.  They are flavorful and honestly I don't miss the nuts in them.  They are available in a variety of tasty flavors.  I love that they have varieties to please all different tastes.  They offer flavors that include Skeeter Doodle, Golden Oatmeal, Chocolate Cubed, Chocolate Chunk, Cinnamon Grahams and Chocolate Chip Minis.  What flavor would you want to try?

Fancy PINK Box Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

It is time to start holiday shopping!  I want to tell you about Fancy.  They offer so many great items for holiday gifts.  They even offer monthly boxes loaded with neat goodies.  They offer a variety of different boxes too.  They offer boxes that have items that are handpicked too.  They offer a PINK box, Ashton Kutcher box, Jennifer Love Hewitt box, Tyler Florence box and more.  These boxes are always so much fun.  It is always a surprise as to what you will get in your box.

I had a hard time choosing a box.  I think that they all sound really neat.  I finally decided to go with the PINK Fancy box.  I was very pleased when it arrived.  This box retails for $39, but it is worth at least $80.  This is a great way to try out some great new products, but at a discounted price.

What was in my PINK Fancy box?  I received so many great items.  There was a hoodie pillow in the box.  This is a neat idea.  It is the top part of a hoodie, but it has an inflatable pillow that comforts and fits perfectly around your neck.  This is great for travel.  I received a very nice soak and strain produce washing bowl.  This is perfect for washing fresh fruits!  I received a Jack Rabbit headphone splitter.  My kids can now stop fighting over who gets to use the tablet!  The Pop Phone was a need addition to this box.  This is a handset that is compatible with devices like an iPhone or iPad.  My kids love it!  I also received some Twistband pony tail holders.  These are cute, stylish and comfortable.

Cooked Perfect Meatballs Review

Disclosure - free sample provided.

Does your family love meatballs?  We do!  We serve them with pasta and sauce.  We also love meatball sandwiches.  I will say that homemade meatballs can be time consuming.  Many of the varieties from the frozen section are not to our liking.  I want to introduce you to a different kind of frozen meatball.  Cooked Perfect Meatballs are homemade meatballs that are available in the freezer section of your grocery store.

Cooked Perfect offers a variety of different meatballs too.  The meatballs have a really good flavor because they are flame grilled.  They offer Italian Style, Angus Beef, Homestyle, Turkey and more.  I love that these can be easily warmed up and eaten for a quick snack or meal.  They can also be cooked in sauces for a healthy and hearty meal.  These are perfect for appetizers too.  You can put a bag of meatballs in the crockpot with sauce and you are done.

We tried the Cooked Perfect Meatballs in marinara sauce.  I put the sauce in my crockpot and then added the meatballs.  This was a quick and easy meal.  The Italian Style meatballs had a great flavor that went well with the marinara sauce.  I really liked that the texture of the meatball was tender and not rubbery.  These do not taste like they come from the freezer section.  These are a quick way to make spaghetti and meatballs or even a tasty meatball sandwich.  How would you serve them?

The dessert items from the Appetizer Store are so good!  They offer some varieties that are so simple that they are just placed in the fridge to defrost.  They are then ready to put on a nice plate and serve to your guests.  The nice thing about these is that you can offer a selection of desserts and your guests can try a few of them.  They really are a fun way to offer a decadent dessert.

What variety would you want to try?  We had fun sampling all of the desserts that we received.  Everything is made to perfection too.  The cheesecake is rich, creamy and flavorful.  I was really impressed with the Imported French Macaroons.  The pistachio flavor was delicious.  The Baklava was very good too.  It had a nice flavor from the walnuts and honey.  The Christmas Holiday Petit Fours were a big hit too.  These are one bit pieces of cake that are covered in chocolate.
