GLAZED EARTH REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY-Check this out!!

I was headed out of the office for lunch when my cell phone rang, another product to investigate. I quickly grabbed what I needed and exited my office.

GLAZED EARTH

Here is a little bit about Glazed Earth :
"I live in Kansas with my wonderful husband, Dan, and our ornery cat, Taddy. I have dabbled in every medium known and always find my way back to clay. My BFA in Ceramics is from Texas Tech University and I have an MFA in Painting from Kansas State University."


She has ALL sorts of stuff. She has vases, bud vases, tea bag holders/small dishes, plates, bowls, soap dishes/spoon rests, mugs/cups, and pitchers. I received a little tea bag dish/small dish. It came all wrapped up with a pretty ribbon like this...


Here is her shop welcome: (a nice shop welcome I thought)
"Welcome to Glazed Earth! Handmade pottery that is unique, colorful and well crafted.

Each piece of my pottery is made with care and a lot of love. Using white earthenware clay or red earthenware clay, I roll slabs, press stamps, lace, doilies, my handmade stamps and found objects into the clay. I use a variety of slump molds for forming my work. The separate pieces are then assembled to make the various pieces such as my vases, teapots and wish vessels. The vases are watertight and look great with any color and type of flowers. All glazes are food safe. Every piece is a one of kind!

Don't see what you want? I do special orders! Please give at least 3 weeks notice. "

I would love one of her bud vases.

Here is a little something about the Tea Bag Dish I received :


"Small 3" round dish for holding your used tea bag. Also used for putting rings in while doing the dishes or for earrings when you go to bed. These dishes are food safe so you can use them for dipping trays: soy sauce for your sushi or ketchup for your fries.
I made this dish with a rubber stamp carved by me and a wooden stamp I found at an antique store. This dish sits on four 1/2" feet."

I like that I can use this and not be worried about if it is safe for you to eat off of.


Here is a pic of the tea bag dish with Ketchup...



257 people on Etsy say that Glazed Earth is one of their favorites! If sooooooo many people say that it MUST be true! Ans she has has 24 items for sale right now and always adding more.

BOLTHOUSE FARMS REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

Hi!! Today I have another great company. My sisters really love it.

**********BOLTHOUSE FARMS**********
My sisters like the Mocha Cappuccino and the smoothies best. Bolthouse farms sent me four coupons to do what I wanted with. I used two for the review... and that means I have two left...
to do a giveaway with.

ABOUT BOLTHOUSE FARMS :
"The Bolthouse family began commercial vegetable farming in western Michigan in 1915…

Farming was back-breaking work in those days. Land had to be cleared as soil was prepared for the first crop. From the very beginning the company was known for quality and innovation. Vegetable varieties were continually improved, and the company advanced from field packing celery to storing onions for off-season supply. Before long, local canneries relied on William Bolthouse for carrots, celery, spinach, and onions. These local canneries soon were companies like Gerber Products, The Campbell Soup Company, and H.J. Heinz. By 1950 Bolthouse Farms® was a leading supplier of carrots to Midwest processors. Carrots with the green tops attached were the standard in the 1940’s and 50’s, but customers were interested in the added convenience of modern packaging. In 1959 William Bolthouse built a fresh carrot cellophane packing facility. With quality recognized by customers, the company began marketing to the newly emerging chain stores and supermarkets. Even today the trade calls whole, bagged carrots “cellos!” The chain stores relied on the quality of Bolthouse carrots, but there was one problem– customers wanted fresh carrots year-round. William H. Bolthouse, son of the original founder, searched America for just the right location to harvest carrots every day. In 1972 he decided that Bakersfield, California, had the right combination of sun, soil, and climate. Growing carrots in Bakersfield was anything but the “conventional wisdom” back then. To the surprise of many, the new packing plant grew quickly, as customers enjoyed superior carrot quality in any season of the year. The consumer appetite for freshness grew with the need for convenience. In 1990, William J. Bolthouse, grandson of the founder, introduced SHORTCUTS®. Ready-to-eat SHORTCUTS® are cut and peeled in a gleaming new processing facility. SHORTCUTS® were just what customers wanted. Demand was so great for SHORTCUTS® that a much larger plant was added in 1994. Yet another plant was added in 1999. Bolthouse Farms® is one of the largest carrot operations in the world. In fact, you might be eating Bolthouse carrots in your packaged salad, your favorite restaurants, in vegetable beverages, or in a variety of prepared foods. Bolthouse Farms® built a state-of-the-art bottling facility and introduced Bolthouse Farms® Super Premium Beverages. In the tradition of Bolthouse Farm’s commitment to premium quality and superior flavor, all Bolthouse Farms® beverages begin with the highest quality and freshest tasting all natural ingredients. Every batch of Bolthouse Farms® juice is taste tested and quality inspected before it is released. Each batch passes through a patented clean-room bottling process where sterile bottles are filled and capped in a Class 100 Clean Room, ensuring the product is as safe inside the bottle as it was only seconds after it was flash-pasteurized. The benefit of all this is superior food safety, extra long shelf life, unmatched flavor and enhanced nutritional value. Bolthouse Farms® discovered the purple açaí berry from Brazil and learned it is a nutritional “super fruit” with the exciting potential to be used as an ingredient in super premium refrigerated juice. In 2006, Bolthouse Farms® established Bolthouse Do Brasil to bring the amazing açaí berry and other exotic fruits to customers around the world. Located in Belem, Brazil, Bolthouse Do Brasil® brings the farming and fresh produce expertise of Bolthouse Farms® to the fast growing açaí market by applying superior post-harvest handling and processing technology. The result is the purest and highest quality açaí in the industry. Bolthouse Farms® introduced an exciting new line of all natural refrigerated salad dressings. With yogurt instead of mayonnaise as the base, they provide less than half the fat and calories of the leading brand – with all of the flavor. Yogurt provides a smooth creamy texture with a tangy flavor that blends extremely well with other ingredients. Using an innovative pasteurization process, the premium ingredients maintain their flavor, freshness, integrity and nutrition.

Whether it is carrots, beverages or dressings, at Bolthouse Farms® the end result ensures our customer’s satisfaction with unrivaled quality and customer care."

I know that was a lot but I thought it was interesting. Bolthouse farms carries Dressings, Beverages and Carrot products. My family was fighting over who got the coupons. It was pretty funny. I dealt them up evenly though.

With the coupon I got the Mocha Cappuccino :

Our Perfectly Protein® Mocha Cappuccino is a smooth blend of 100% Arabica coffee, premium cocoa and pure Madagascar vanilla extract. We carefully selected Arabica coffee beans for their distinctive, full-bodied character and delicate caramel aftertaste. Then, low-fat milk and whey protein are gently combined to complete this mocha with a rich and creamy consistency.

• Excellent source of 7 vitamins and minerals.
• Good source of Potassium and Iron.
• Packed with 10g of Protein per 8oz serving.
• Contains 18 Amino Acids.
• Low Fat ~ All Natural ~ No Added Sugars.
• Contains 60mg of caffeine per 8oz serving (One cup of brewed coffee contains 115mg).
• No preservatives and nothing artificial.
• Flash pasteurized and cold-filled to preserve taste and provide superior nutrition.

And I got another one. One of the smoothie drinks they like is the Berry Boost :

**********GIVEAWAY**********
ONE AGENT WILL RECEIVE TWO COUPONS FOR
A FREE BEVERAGE FROM BOLTHOUSE FARMS!!
GREAT!! MY SISTERS ARE JEALOUS:D

Nutrition

What does it mean for me?

Packed with a quintet of different berry types, Berry Boost tastes uniquely fresh and flavorful. The blend of berries also offers an array of essential and energizing vitamins. Complementing the fruity flavors is a heaping dose of Vitamins C, A & E.

COMMUNITY COFFEE FATHER'S DAY GIFT SET- REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY

It has been a while. Here is a new company that my Dad LOVES!! Community Coffee sent me the Father's Day Private Reserve Gift Set. My Dad loves Coffee. The Private Reserve Father's Day Gift : "This year, forget the tie and give your father a gift that he'll truly appreciate. This gift set includes 12 oz. House Blend ground coffee, 2 oz. Breakfast Blend and French Vanilla coffees completed with a Vintage Cap Saurage Collector's Cap. Everything comes wrapped in a red gift box for Dad to enjoy!" I think my Dad liked the French Vanilla best. ABOUT :

History

"For four generations, the Saurage family of Louisiana has owned and operated Community

Coffee Company. In 1919, Henry Norman "Cap" Saurage discovered the secret of making this great-tasting coffee in his country store in Dixie, Louisiana, near Baton Rouge. He named his coffee "Community" in honor of his community of friends. In 1924, he closed the store and converted

his backyard barn into a coffee mill, using coffee beans purchased from a local roaster. In 1941, Cap's son H. Norman Saurage Jr. purch

ased the company's first coffee roaster, having decided that Community should roast its own coffee to ensure quality at every step. A roasting plant was built in Baton Rouge in 1946.

Over the years, Community Coffee Company would take countless steps to ensure the quality of its product. In 1955, the company began importing green coffee beans directly from coffee plantations in Brazil. In 1970, a new plant was built on the Mississippi River in Port Allen, Louisiana. In 1980, Community introduced the nation's first vacuum-sealed coffee package.

The first CC's Community Coffee House opened on the corner of Jefferson and Magazine Street in New Orleans in 1995. Dozens more opened during the 10 years that followed. It's been more than 90 years since Cap Saurage founded Community Coffee Company, but our mission has never changed – to share our passion for great coffee with our customers. "

They are really great pictures:D We had fun.

The first opening of the box...

What is in the box.

Being silly~

What is inside the box outside of the box.

They also have Tea. I like tea. Better than coffee. I thought Coffee would be best though for Father's Day:D

Here is what my Dad said :

" The coffee has a unique taste. It is very good. I like the hat alot. The scoop is just the right size for the bag of coffee.

**********GIVEAWAY**********

ONE AGENT WILL RECEIVE THE PRIVATE RESERVE

FATHER'S DAY GIFT SET!!! WOW!!

OUCHIES REVIEW and GIVEAWAY

If you ever get hurt while investigating, use an Ouchie (hide your wound not your story). I received a tin of the Mr. Men and Little Miss for girls. My little sister always want to get the fancier (expensive) band-aids, so when the Ouchies came in she wanted to use one right away. If she gets even a scratch she wants one now! These are perfect. My sister has a hat that says Little Miss Giggles, and the Mr. Men and Little Miss for girls were perfect! Their logo is Hide your wound not your style!


Here is the story :

"When my daughter turned five, her supply of bandages began to dwindle from all the boo-boo’s that kids get, so I decided to search the aisles of drugstores for some kind of alternative – something cool, something different, something stylish. To my complete surprise, I came home empty handed; only able to offer her one of my horribly, boring beige bandages.

As I stood there in front of her medicine cabinet, I thought to myself, “Why are there no cool bandages?” I felt that change was in order, but it wasn’t until my wife (who is the true inspiration and “umph” behind these products) gave me a nudge and said, “You can do it.” From that point on, I started Ouchies – offering kids an array of adhesive bandages that allow them to show their style and personality. Since that time I have had two more kids, furthering my dedication to giving kids the chance to express themselves through bandages.

So, join me, my wife, my two daughters and son and let the world know that just because you are 5 or 8 or even 11, you can still have style after you have fallen and scraped your knee. Down with beige bandages, baby!"

They also have a P.A.B.B (People against boring bandages ) - You can sign up to join P.A.B.B (People against boring bandages) to receive email updates on Ouchies happenings and news, first opportunities on new bandages, special discounts, and free samples!

You can buy Ouchies online and in stores. Here is a list of where Ouchies are sold. We do not often buy bandages with something on them; we usually just get the plain old boring bandages. These are great though. I tease my little sister a lot, and I kept giving her the Miss Chatterbox. She finally said she wanted something else :D She likes the Little Miss Sunshine and the Little Miss Giggles. She thinks they are GREAT. They have bandages for anyone. Boyz, Girlz and for any 1. The Make your own would also be great. Any child would love to design their own!

**********GIVEAWAY**********
One Agent (follower) will receive two
tins of Ouchies (you get to pick which ones)!

MANDATORY ENTRY
Go to Ouchies and comment here with what two tins
you would pick if you won. You must be a follower of PI of Products. You
must leave a valid email address for me to contact you if you win.
