I am a big jerky lover.  My kids lover jerky, and my husband does too.  I am not talking about the typical jerky that you find at your gas station though.  I love good quality jerky.  I am quite picky when it comes to beef jerky.  I was introduced to Jerky's Gourmet.  This is a San Diego based company that makes very impressive jerky.  It is made just the way good jerky should be made.  

Jerky's Gourmet is unique because they use 100% grass fed beef.  They even offer gluten free varieties.  Their jerky is low sodium.  It contains no preservatives, no nitrates, no nitrites, no hormones, and no antibiotics.  You really can taste the difference when you try this jerky.  I was impressed with all of the flavors that I tried.  They were full of flavor, but not overly salty.  

Jerky's Gourmet offers classic flavors.  These include black pepper, barbecue mesquite, ghost pepper, and orange teriyaki.  I tried the ghost pepper.  It was so good.  It had a really intense amount of spice, but also a great flavor.  I also liked the black pepper variety.  This was a bit spicy, and perfect if you are a fan of black pepper.  Jerky's Gourmet also offers Paleo friendly jerky, and soy free jerky.  I was intrigued by their alcohol infused jerky.  I sampled their craft beer jerky and it was very good.  It had a mild hint of beer.  It also had a little bit of heat to it.  All of the varieties were very tender, and delicious.  What variety would you ant to try?

Bagblaze Review - Portable Mini Speaker

Disclosure - free sample provided.

You might be familiar with the Bagblaze website, but they recently redid their website.  It really is great.  They have turned their website into a deal site.  The difference is that they have everything in house.  They have added more than just bags to the items they offer.  Bagblaze offers apparel, undergarments, electronics, watches, and more.  I suggest you check their site frequently, so you can see what they have recently added.

I enjoyed browsing the great selection that Bagblaze offers.  I chose a Portable Mini Speaker that they still have available.  They are offering the speaker for $15.99.  This is a great deal because the normal retail price is $39.95.  The speaker is available in four color options.  This speaker connects to your device via bluetooth.  The speaker is really easy to sync, and set up.  That is really important to me.  This makes it easy for even non tech savvy people to set it up.  The speaker has a lithium-ion battery and it can provide up to four hours of play.  This is a nice little speaker with great sound.  It is a great portable speaker to keep with you when you are on the go.  There are so many uses for it.  It is great for the car, camping, park picnics, and much more.
