MoKo Amazon Kindle Fire HD 6 Case

To order this case or others like it, visit click here

After recently receiving my first tablet and falling absolutely in love, I decided it was time to protect it just like I do my beloved iPhone. The Fire HD is a sturdy tablet but you can never be too careful. However, I decided that since I don't use the kindle nearly as much as my iPhone I didn't need crazy military strength protection and decided to meet in the middle and get something stylish and sturdy at the same time.

I chose this slim case from MoKo and couldn't be happier with my choice. It comes in 12 different colors and three different designs. I've only used the blue one but if the others are as vibrant as this one, then you really can't go wrong.


There are so many good things to say about this case other than the colors though. The exterior fits the Kindle Fire HD 6" like a glove, nice and snug like a case should be. The material is a synthetic leather that could easily pass for the real thing. The interior is a soft microfiber fabric that almost feels like suede. It's not only easy on the eyes, but it is very comfortable to hold. 


It has a built in magnetic closure that holds it closed and automatically puts it into sleep mode; once opened it will awaken. There is a built in strap that makes one handed usage a cinch and it also converts into a built in stand that holds the Kindle securely in landscape mode. If you're a stylus user, which I am not (... yet), it has an elastic strap that will easily hold pretty much any size stylus in place for use when you need it. 


For protection and to give your Kindle a little bit of style, you really can't do better than this case. The price can't be beat and the quality is superb. Highly recommend!!

[Apple MFi Certified] Lightning to USB Cable w/Unique Tangle Free Flat Style

To order this product, click here.

Finally!!!! A cord that doesn't tangle! 

My favorite part of this cable is the fact that the cable part of it is flat. At first I didn't see what the big deal was with this but immediately noticed. It's designed this way to keep it from getting tangled and it TOTALLY does the trick. I'm on my phone all the time so I have to have it plugged in most of the day and am constantly getting it tangled up in the cords. After days of using this one, I have yet to have it tangle once!

The next thing I noticed that's awesome is it charged my phone up super fast. I mean like weirdly fast. Other cables I've owned have taken a good hour or so to get it up to 100%. This one did it in half the time. As a busy person this is an absolute must have. This is definitely an incredible quality lightning cable! I received this item at a discount for reviewing purposes.

Organic Dandelion Root Tea - With Hibiscus & Cinnamon

To order this DELICIOUS tea, click here.

I am a complete newbie when it comes to dandelion root tea. I do love tea though and have tried many other kinds. This tea is absolutely delicious and loaded with nutrients. I prefer iced tea but this can be served hot as well. Add sugar or cream if you like but honestly I loved it just like it is over ice. 

Some key benefits of dandelion root tea are that of course it is loaded with vitamins and minerals that your body needs. Another benefit is that it helps aid in digestion as well as assist in cleansing your liver and kidneys. 

If you're looking for a yummy, ready to drink tea that is loaded with all the good stuff, I'd recommend this product. Organic is the way to go!

Kiva Gourmet HOT + SWEET SMOKED Spanish Paprika

To order these, click here.

We are a family that loves to cook. Though American at heart, we cook up almost any cuisine imaginable. Paprika is used in so many of our recipes so we go through a lot of it. I've always just used the regular paprika that you get at the grocery store, which after looking is grown in Texas. Nothing wrong with that but to get to try some authentic Spanish paprika made me giddy!

We have used them both and depending on what flavor you're going for, they do make a difference. They both have a rich delicious smoky flavor that completely blows the grocery store paprika out of the kitchen. It has actually since been tossed.

The sweet paprika can replace your regular paprika in just about any recipe. It has a bit of a sweet almost fruity flavor which is delicious and aromatic! If you want to give it a little kick then I'd use the hot smoked paprika. It's not spicy but offers a hint of chile flavor. Regardless which you use, you won't be disappointed.

Luxe Beauty Essentials Plush Microfiber Hair Towel

To order this product, click here.

This towel is extremely soft, absorbent and doesn't weigh my hair down. I have almost shoulder length hair and usually just use a regular towel to tie my hair up after a shower. They can get very heavy and often fall off while I'm trying to get ready. This one is great for my length of hair and is just the right size. 

I do believe they should offer them in larger sizes as well though for those with long hair as I'm not sure this would do the trick for long hair. But for me it is perfect and absorbs the water just as well as regular towels. It's nice to have a towel that is specifically for my hair for a change!

Supernova 300 Lumens Ultra Bright LED Camping and Emergency Lantern

To order this product, click here.

We go to the beach quite often and camp. While in the tent we don't need a large spot light lighting up our tent like the fourth of July so we used this one recently. It is bright but not overly bright and gives off just enough light in my opinion. It's compact and easy to use. It comes with a hook on the bottom of the lantern so we were able to hang it inside the tent with no problem.
I've read some reviews that stated that the batteries are hard to change but I honestly had absolutely no problem at all. It's extremely easy. Unscrew the lid to the battery compartment on the bottom. Place the batteries in and when replacing the lid, light up the arrow on the lid with the arrow on the base and screw back on. I have no idea what others are finding difficult about that.
All in all it's a useful, decent quality, compact lantern great for camping. I wouldn't suggest using it if you're going to climb Mt. Everest but for our purposes it worked excellently.

iPhone 6 Cases by Phengpro

To order this case for your iPhone 6, click here. 


I recently got the opportunity to review this case and I am over the top impressed. The design is one of the coolest I've seen. It's not just a flat surface but a 3d image. The style is so unique and fashionable, everyone will want to know where you got it! The colors are even more vibrant in person than they are in the images. I received the yellow but it is available in blue or white as well!




The case is a soft, flexible but sturdy material that isn't overly bulky but still will protect your phone. It fits on the iPhone 6 like a glove and with the included screen protector your phone will be protected and look absolutely adorable!

1.25oz Travel Bottles

To order these bottles, 

These are so much better quality than the cheaper ones I've purchased in the past. They are beautiful colors and lovely soft silicon material. They are the perfect size to carry on a trip and will meet TSA guidelines.

One of my favorite things about these is that each bottle has a silicon suction cup on it. How many times have you been in a hotel and there is no where to sit your toiletries. With these you can simply stick them on the inside of the shower wall for easy access!

Another bonus is that each bottle comes with an additional ring that you can pull off and place on any of the following labels to easily identify what the container is filled with: Soap, Sunscreen, Shampoo, Conditioner, lotion and there are a few blank spots to label your own.


The reusable travel bag that they come in is a super added bonus! I received this item at a discount for reviewing purposes. All opinions stated, whether self-purchased or provided for review, are completely those of my own.

Francois et Mimi 50oz Glass French Press

To order this coffee press, click here

I am a huge iced coffee fan and there is nothing more annoying than using a regular coffee maker to make your iced coffee and ending up with watered down coffee. I recently went to a local coffee shop (not the big chain, but a locally owned one) and their iced coffee was absolutely delightful!! Of course I had to ask how they made it so much better than the rest that I've tried, whether at home or competing coffee shops. He told me the coffee was cold pressed and allowed to steep for 12 hours, using a french press. Well this I had to try!

The basic process is this. You steep the coffee in either room temperature or cold water in the french press and allow this to sit for 12 hours (or however long you see fit, depending on the strength you want. Then you simply use the press to press out the coffee grounds. Because you are not using hot water to brew your coffee, you are keeping the pure coffee flavor that normally ends up with an acidic flavor. Cold brewed leaves the coffee strong and smooth. A perfect addition to ice and cream.

I can't believe I waited so long to try this method but will never use a hot coffee maker again! The french press is the way to go for any iced coffee lovers! I'm sure it would brew wonderful warm coffee as well, that's just not my cup o' joe!

3-Pack of Spirulina, Acerola & Nutritional Yeast


Everyone knows how important vitamin c is and why not get it with the fabulous taste of cherries. Most people don't realize that cherries pack way more Vitamin C than oranges so this is the go to for anyone needing more Vitamin C in their diet. This isn't a product you eat alone. It's a fine powder which is perfect for adding to smoothies or any kind of juice. 


Spirulina has been known for years as being a superfood, but it's not very tasty on its own. I've been having it added to my smoothies from a smoothie chain we probably all know for years. But I do love to make smoothies at home. Saves on money and I can put whatever I want in them. Spirulina is packed with vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, magnesium, selenium, beta-carotene, B12, chlorophyll, phytonutrients, antioxidants and essential amino acids (GLA, Omega 3, 6 & 9s). Using it can give you natural energy (none of that caffeine stuff) and also boost your immune system. If you're thinking you want to try it, this is a great brand to try it with. 


This is one of my favorites of Sari's products. I use it in place of salt all the time from something as simple as sliced tomatoes to actual full blown dinners. It has a really delicious nutty almost cheese like flavor that is salty but not too salty. You can incorporate it into just about any recipe. And while doing that you are adding usually missed out on amounts of fiber, amino acids and tons of minerals and vitamins. When you order this you also receive an ebook with so many delicious recipes! If you're a beginner with superfoods.. this is a great start.
