@FengShwag #HolidayGiftGuide #Review Gifts that spread #Inspiration & #Uniqueness #Spon

Disclaimer: I received The Feng Shwag Kitchen Box to Review.  All opinions are my own.  


Feng means wind and shui means water . In Chinese culture wind and water are associated with good health, thus good feng shui came to mean good fortune.


I had the opportunity to review Feng Shwag, Feng Shui Kitchen Box. I spend most of my time in the kitchen anyways! It's my favorite room in the house.  I love to cook, and always great energy.  You may ask what is FengShwag?


Feng Shwag uses Chinese trinkets to balance out Feng Shui's, The Yin and Yang, Zen like attitude towards life. There are different Feng Shwag boxes to choose from.  I choose Feng Shui  Kitchen Box.


I was impressed at the shipping/packaging.  The box came with dividers, and everything tissue wrapped. Some of the items were in bags, or boxes inside the tissue paper. It felt like I had so many gifts to open.  I enjoyed the surprise of each trinket.  The quality of the trinkets were actually detailed, and impressed me.


Box includes ( Box dimensions: 8 1/2 x 8 1/4 x 4 )

  • Faceted Crystal Apple

Hang where you want to attract positive Chi ( energy ) and results.


  • Bagua Shaped Mirror

Place to deflect negative Chi (energy) where needed.


  • Dragon

A powerful symbol of strength, energy, and protection


  • Coin Globe

Ancient coins tied with red, to bring prosperity to the carrier.


  • Carver Sage

This popular kitchen herd is symbolic of fresh clean space.


  • Ceramic Teapot- Shaped Holder

Rest the carved sage on this symbol of hospitality.


  • Lucky Cat Creamer

A contemporary version of the ancient Chinese symbol, with its paw raised to draw in wealth and good fortune. Place facing the door.


  • Mandarin Oranges in a Bowl

Symbols of good fortune and immortality.


  • Candle on Wooden Stand with Teapot Charm

Light at meals to stimulate pleasurable and harmonious dining experiences.


  • Lucky Red Wish Envelope with Blank Papers

Write your desires for health, wealth and happiness and place them inside the envelope with focused intention.

Even if you aren't a spiritual person, The concept behind Taoist beliefs are interesting. I am a huge dragon fan. So much, I have a dragon tattoo'd on my chest for wealth, power and an abundance of opportunities. My feng shui dragon from the kitchen box is placed looking into the kitchen, chest level as well. The crystal apple, and glass mandarins are for good luck too, I am giving the crystal apple to my son's early special ed teacher.  The mini lucky cat creamer I am giving my niece to carry it around with her, for little tea parties to spread the wealth.  I have respect for all beliefs.  I believe in all religion. I also believe we all come from the same matter, and we ALL matter. With that being said, check out Feng Shwags trinket kitchen box!

Mrs. Cavanaugh's World Famous Chocolate plus PROMO CODE for b1g1 #HolidayGiftGuide #Spon



Who doesn't love Chocolate? Especially World Famous Since 1964 Chocolate for the Holidays! This is a Sponsored Post for the Holidays.

Time was when Marie Cavanaugh spent hours in her South Dakota farmhouse each Christmas season making pecan rolls and homemade chocolates for holiday gifting.

"It started when my aunt sent her pecan-rolls recipe," Mrs. Cavanaugh recalled. "I gave the recipe my own touch and started making the yummy specialties. Then I began dipping chocolates. Our friends and neighbors loved these treats, encouraging me to start a candy business. Finally, I decided it might be a good idea.'"


Her husband George and children Carla, Lorraine, Calvin, Colene and Genise rallied, helping Mrs. Cavanaugh fill demands for her homemade sweets.

...In 1972, the family moved to Utah, leaving good friends and their beloved cattle ranch.

"It was a difficult decision, especially for George," Mrs. Cavanaugh said. "He was excited about making our new venture, which we chose to call Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies, a great success. We felt Utah was blessed with good chocolates and that we would enjoy - and could compete with - those who pride themselves on making excellent chocolates."

Millions of pounds of chocolates later, Mrs. Cavanaugh's candies have earned a reputation for unquestionable excellence....


Ask chocolate aficionados. They will direct those seeking the best chocolates to the popular Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies. My readers receive Buy 1 lb Get 1 lb FREE of Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates use promo code: usfamily14 http://www.mrscavanaughs.com/

#HoneyBakedHoliday #Review Roasted Turkey, Honey Glazed Ham, 2 Side Dishes, and a Southern Pecan Pie + #Giveaway #Spon



I had the opportunity to review HoneyBaked Ham for the Holidays. I went to the Sawmill Road Location. Check your Local HoneyBaked Ham to see what promotions they may be doing.  Sometimes there are even coupons online to print, and take in with you while ordering. Also it doesn't hurt to ask if they have any coupons for you to use too.  It's all Gravy, Baby, Never know unless you ask.



I bought everything I needed for a Thanksgiving Meal, Ham, Roasted Turkey, Gravy, 2 Side Dishes, even a Pie. If you've never tried HoneyBaked Ham I would advise you to not go to that fast food place next time you want something for lunch, go to a Honey Baked Ham store, get a sandwich meal. Almost everyone I know did not know that you can buy lunch in the store as a meal, drink, and all. HoneyBaked Ham isn't just Catered meals, and Whole Dinners.  It's also fresh made sandwich combos, cookies, breads, pies and soups.



When I think of Honeybaked Ham, I automatically think of the delicious honey glazed hams with the bones in.  The exciting part about these hams is unfolding the foil wrappers, and unwrapping the Ham inside that's soaking in the juices, and enveloped by the crunchy glaze.  Since it was glazed, and the honey caramelized around the ham, the ham itself inside was moist & juicy.


To me the Holidays should be about spending time with your loved ones. Hanging out, getting to know each other over good food, and just relaxing.  As you can see the spread for my HoneyBaked Review was an easy, yet delicious one.




Let me tell you about the Southern Pecan Pie.  These can be found in the freezer section of HoneyBaked Ham. It's a simple take, bake, and serve.  The pie is covered with pecans, the crust was golden brown after baking for 20 mins.  I was impressed with the flaky crust, and flavorful gooey inside.


I would offer to share some of the pie with you, but we ate it all. I think we really inhaled it. It reminded me of my Mamas Pecan Pie. The crunchy pecan topping was just the perfect contrast with the filling. If Pecan Pie is not your thang, there are other Seasonal Bake & Serve Pies.


One of my favorite Combos was the Roasted HoneyBaked Turkey Breast, and the Citrus Walnut Cranberry Bake & Serve Side dish.  HoneyBaked Ham does have Gravy (Which is also delicious) but I like spreading the cranberry on my Turkey like a Jam. The Turkey was moist, just like the Ham, juicy underneath the layer of glaze. To me this is total Thanksgiving comfort food.


I am thankful for friends, family, great opportunities, and genuine people.  I am also thankful for Easy MEALS! I really didn't feel like dirtying anymore dishes than I had to since the Bake & Serve Side dishes could be heated as in.  I loved how convenient that was.  


I also liked that  heating the Ham, and Turkey up, didn't make my pans all crusty like they would've been if I was baking things for hours myself.  Seriously, so, so, so convenient.  If it looks easy in this post, it's because it was easy.  


From now until 1/11/15 you can enter to win a $25,000 HoneyBaked Kitchen Makeover when you buy a Ham and Turkey Breast bundle.

Perfect Nut to Fruit Ratio #Review @NutsGourmet #HolidayGiftGuide




I'm a nutty person.  Seriously.. complete nuts.. I can live off of nuts, and dried fruits if need be.  So could my little one.  Recently I received GourtmetNut's On The Go Nut & Power Up mixes to review for free for my opinion. I thought GourmetNut had the perfect nut to fruit ratio.


I have nothing but great things to say about the nuts, and dried fruits in these resealable bags.  There are different mixes, depending on if you are Powering Up, On The Go, or just feel like snacking on something delicious that are 100% Natural. What really impressed me about these bags of GourmetNuts were the variety of Nuts, and Fruit.  

The Gourmet POWERUP comes in Almond Cranberry Crunch, Mega Omega, and Protein Packed.


Then there is Gourmet On The Go, Almond Cranberry Crunch, Body Boosting Antioxidant mix, and Energize Me Protein Mix.


My overall impression: Usually when I buy a bag of Mixed nuts/fruit in the grocery store, it has a majority of Sunflower seeds, raisins, and peanuts.  All which I don't mind, but I do love Cashews, Almonds, Brazil Nuts, Walnuts, and Hazelnuts too.  My favorite nuts are Cashews, and Hazelnuts, it's pretty hard finding an affordable mix with these two in them, and fruit too?? Almost impossible.  Til I found Gourmet Nuts. The product in the bags, look identical if not better than even the photos on their website.  I can tell the nuts, and fruit are great quality by the taste of the nuts, and the still chewy, full of flavor dried fruit.


GourmetNuts are definitely Holiday Gift Guide material.  I would rather have these 8oz Packs in my stocking this Holiday too.  I think they are the perfect gift for the Health Conscious Nut lover. These can be bought in packs of 6. Check them out on http://www.gourmetnut.com/
