...INTRODUCING MADELAINE CHOCOLATES!!

One essential (okay maybe not for everyone but at least for my family!) part of summer is chocolate! I have a really YUMMY company to share with ya'll today. Madelaine Chocolates!

Here is a little bit about this great company...
"Established in 1949, we’ve dedicated ourselves to perfecting the superior taste and quality of our chocolate. Our belief that everyone should be able to afford great tasting chocolate is what drives our commitment to our customers, and ensures that we never compromise on flavor or quality.

Located in Far Rockaway, Queens, we're proud to say that as an American family-owned and run company, our chocolates have been made solely in New York and have been part of the American family life for 60 years. From holidays and birthdays, to Easter, Valentines and graduations - The Madelaine Chocolate Company has always been there.

Using the finest quality chocolate, innovative shapes and unique Italian foils, we’re proud to help make every moment special."

Madelaine Chocolates sent me one a box of goodies. When I opened the box...

I found this...

One bag of Chocolate Covered Peanuts, two boxes of Chocolate Crayons, and two bags of Chocolate Quarters in Organza. These are really great! As soon as they came in my Dad asked if her could open them up and have some. My Dad is a BIG chocolate lover. Here are some pictures...

(The Chocolate Crayons!)

(One pack of Chocolate Quarters!)

(Here are one of the Quarters)

My little sister invited some friends over one night to play some games and we decided to let them each have one of the Chocolate Crayons. They LOVED them!

These chocolates were great! They were soooo yummy. My Dad really liked them. The Chocolate Quarters when you take the wrapper off they have it engraved on the chocolate. It is really neat! Anybody that likes chocolate would love to have something from Madelaine Chocolates!

...INTRODUCING MELANSOL!!

MelanSol sent me one of their MelanSol® 100% Natural Sunscreen SPF-30. This is really nice! Here is a picture...



We go street preaching alot and most of the time by the end of the day everybody is burnt really bad (even using sunscreen). Not with MelanSol! Some friends of ours wanted to borrow some sunscreen so we pulled out the MelanSol. Guess what?!? At the end of they day... They were soo much better than the rest of us! YAY!

Gym Equipment!

My Dad and Mom have started exercising more lately. They go to the gym, walk, etc. Just today my Dad took my two brothers to the gym and then to play Racqetball (one of our favorites!). We have been looking at purchasing some gym equipment to put in out back room so they can exercise right at home! One thing we have been looking at is an exercise bike for indoor training. There is one called the Multisports Fitness Endurocycles Commercial 500 Spin Indoor Trainer Exercise Bike in Blue that my brothers would love to have. Here is a picture of it...

(Doesn't it look nice?!?)

My brothers would like it because of the feature it has. There is a Water Bottle Holder, an adjustable seat, and fully adjustable handles, etc. It looks really nice!

We have also been looking for the best exercise bike available for my Mom. This one called the Fitnex R70 Commercial Recumbent Exercise Bike w/ Matrix & LED Display would be great for my Mom. Here is a picture of it...

(See!!)

Her back is still bothering her and this would be great since it has a back to the seat. I have found some really neat items that would be great!

About Us

About Us

Jacob Bromwell is a specialty housewares company that manufactures authentic campfire, kitchen, and fireplace products for families of yesterday, today, and for generations to come. As America's oldest housewares company established in 1819, we offer a select group of timeless products that modernization has not improved. Our classic products take people on an emotional journey into nostalgia and tradition, and allow them to find joy in the simple and genuine American past as an antidote to our over-perfected modern lifestyle.

Our Mission

Jacob Bromwell was founded in 1819 on the promise to produce authentic, handcrafted housewares that deliver a unique American experience for explorers, adventurers, homemakers, and traditionalists everywhere. This mission rings true today, over 190 years later.

Our Product Philosophy

Jacob Bromwell products are pretty darn unique and unlike anything else on the market! Yet it’s what our products stand for that has allowed Jacob Bromwell to remain in business for over 190 years, and it’s this same purpose that will allow this iconic American company to flourish for generations to come.

Simply put, our products let folks experience the traditional values and virtues of our pioneer past. And they speak to a time when rugged individualism, good citizenship, and the entrepreneurial spirit were synonymous with American culture.

Jacob Bromwell is one of America's oldest stories, and we’re continuing to write it as we go along. That’s the real philosophy behind the products we make – keeping our product line alive as an anchor for future generations.

Our History

Back in 1819, Jacob Bromwell had an idea: create the highest quality cooking, baking, and campfire products that American families could count on to last generations. So he traveled from his home in Baltimore, Maryland, to set up shop in Cincinnati, Ohio. His factory manufactured everything from flour sifters, cheese graters, and frying pans, to buckets and popcorn poppers. Today, this all-American company is recognized as America’s Oldest Cookware™. All Jacob Bromwell products continue to be handcrafted in the USA and are backed by a Lifetime Guarantee.

Here is a picture of my Cookie Sheet...

(We used this just the other day to make cookies. It works great!)

This is a great Cookie Sheet! It is also easy to clean! This cookie sheet is made with authentic materials just like it was nearly 200 years ago!

Pureology Review!

Pureology sent me a set of their PureVolume Shampoo and Conditioner. My hair is really thin and this works great on my hair! Here is a picture of my Shampoo and Conditioner...

(See!!)

*****

This works really good. My little sister even commented on it and asked if there was a new shampoo I was using and she said that she thought it looked really good! YAY!!
They also have hair care products for more than just thin hair! They have different systems like Hydrate, Essential Repair, Super Smooth, Specialty Care, etc.

Here is a little bit about Pureology and why they are different :
"

COMPREHENSIVE COLOUR CARE SYSTEMS FOR ALL TYPES OF HAIR

ANTIFADE COMPLEX®

Free radicals are highly unstable molecules that attack hair follicles and colour pigments, compromising hair health and colour vibrancy. Pureology’s exclusive AntiFadeComplex® contains a blend of potent antioxidants and full spectrum UVA/UVB sunscreens to protect colour from free radicals.

ZERO SULFATE® SHAMPOOS

Surfactants are an essential part of a shampoo’s cleansing system, but common surfactants, known as sulfates, can fade colour vibrancy. To gently cleanse without stripping colour, our ZeroSulfate® shampoos include a mild cleansing system, with no added salt, derived from coconut, corn, and sugar to deliver a rich lather and help optimize colour retention.

NATURE-INFUSED FORMULAS
FOR PURE PERFORMANCE

100% VEGAN INGREDIENTS

Pureology combines the best of nature with advanced technology to ensure pure performance and radiant colour, and our products are made without animal products or by-products.

ORGANIC BOTANICALS

We are committed to developing naturally-based formulas infused with organic botanicals harvested from plants grown without the use of synthetic pesticides or chemicals.

CONCENTRATED FORMULAS
FOR PURE INDULGENCE

Indulge in the ultimate multi-sensory experience with highly concentrated formulas bursting with superior ingredients that deliver up to 80 shampoos—two times more than other shampoos. Our rich lathers, featherlight textures, and decadent masques surround the senses with aromatic essences, creating a luxurious experience and incredible results. Colour-treated hair is silky soft with dramatically improved condition and remarkable shine.

CREATED WITH INTEGRITY

From the beginning, Pureology’s philosophy has been uncompromising. Our superior colour care is created with integrity to preserve the future well-being of our environment while still providing 100% guaranteed product performance. Pureology is against animal cruelty and proud to use post-consumer recycled and recyclable packaging."

This is a really great product! I love it! If you are looking for a new system try Pureology!

e-beanstalk has some great toys!

e-beanstalk has some really great toys! They have anything from Fun Puzzles to Exciting toys for 3 year olds. They have some toys that my little sister would LOVE to have. And I love that they have three simple rules :

"Our corporate philosophy is simple, we only have 3 rules:

RULE NUMBER 1: Make the kids happy. We do this by:

• Selecting the best toys, books & games to help children grow and learn
• Matching the toys to the child's stage of development

RULE NUMBER 2: Make the parents, grandparents, friends and relatives happy. We do this by:

• Making the kids happy
• Offering the best shopping experience, through a world-class online experience
• Always answer the phone when customers call

RULE NUMBER 3: Have fun at what we do"

They also have some great looking Gifts for three year olds. Hmm... One of the items that Hannah would like is the Let's Pretend School.

She likes to pretend ANYTHING so she would definitely like this. Here is a little bit about the Let's Pretend School :

"School time is fun time! Ring the bell and school is in session! This 225-piece set includes lots of school activities: wipe-away boards with letters, numbers, colors, shapes, world map and food pyramid; pointer, 9 pencils, dry erase marker and eraser. And it folds into an easy carrying case so you can take it anywhere!"

e-beanstalk is a very easy to navigate site. The toys are all categorized by age and you can even refine your search further by category. It is also really easy to navigate with the menu on the left side of the page. I love that they have these because I have been on sites before that are so hard to get where you want!

Disclosure : I received no monetary compensation for this post.
I will receive a gift certificate for ebeanstalk. All
