Our favorite Popcorn Popper

This post contains affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Read my disclosure policy here.

I sign up for lots of freebie sites but mainly find out that the things aren't what was pictured or you just never get them at all. For this I honestly forgot where it was free from but know it was from Williams Sonoma where I signed up. I had to set up an account and a registry and add Cuisinart items that I would like to receive up to a certain price and you would get a microwave Cuisinart popcorn popper. I had to fill it out a form with my information and send it in.



I did this a while ago and today I got a package in the mail. I let my daughter open it up as we didn't know what it was and I hear a squeal of excitement from her. The popper had come just in time for after school snack.

We immediately opened it up, read the instructions, and made our first batch. Three batches later we are totally in love. Shhh I liked it so much I actually ordered some for gifts for my Children who have their own homes.

We made a pact that when we really loved something we got in the mail or bought ourselves we would buy that product for our older children as well as tell our readers about a great product that does what it says.

We have had microwave popcorn poppers before that just burned the popcorn and tried the hacks ending in burns or scalds, but this works great.






What I love about this is that I know what is going in and on my popcorn. All you do is make the bowl full size. It folds flat for space saving storage, best thing ever. Then if you want the full 10 cups of popcorn you will add 1/3 cup of popcorn kernels and set your microwave to 4 minutes. That is it. We have a small counter top microwave and thought it would take longer but the 4 minutes was perfect. A tip is to count 1-2-3 and if you don't hear a pop it is done.  From here you have beautiful unflavored fluffy popcorn goodness that is just waiting for your favorite seasonings.




We just made ours with real melted butter and salt, but later my daughter put some butter and some powdered ranch seasoning on hers. I know our movie and game nights just took a giant leap to fun and flavorful popcorn that I can feel good about serving to our friends and family.






If you are interested right now they have a great price but prices and availability are subject to change. Check it out below.

Glasses for just a $1.00

Did you loose or break your glasses? Do you need a second pair but don't want to spend a fortune? Do you want glasses or sunglasses that are fashionable? I think I have the place for you to find your next new pair of glasses for an affordable price. Firmoo eye wear store.

To make an order was simple. I just picked out the frames I would like, added in my prescription (you must get this from your eye Dr. and measured the space between my pupils mine happens to be 57mm. The first pair I picked I was told that because of my pupil spacing they would not work for me to pick a different pair. This was awesome. It kept me from getting glasses that would not fit me or take care of my vision properly.



Once added to cart you can pick from lenses (some will cost more so the price might be higher then 1.00 if you choose some of these options) I went with all of the free items and I was completely surprised to see that I only paid a 1.00 total. So awesome.

Even if you aren't able to order for the $1.00 before the deal ends. Frames and lenses are so affordable that even our family with a strict tight budget can get a pair if a set is lost, broken, or we need a pair of prescription sunglasses. yes you heard that right prescription sunglasses. They have fashionable choice for Men, Women, and Children.

I was so impressed by the children's selection that if my youngest needs a pair of glasses I will sure to pick up an extra pair here for her. Our insurance does glasses but if they break you have to wait 2 years before you can get another pair payed for by the insurance company. I am really impressed with all of the little extras they send you like the hard case to store them in, a bag, eyeglass repair kit, and of course the lens cloth which is not pictured but can be seen at my video review here.









If you are interested or know someone who needs a new pair, replacement pair please mention this deal to them.

Firmoo eyeglasses for $1.00

The deal ends on September 30th, 2019 use code 1usdec to get your first pair for 1.00.

My First Turkish Towel

Recently I was sent my very first Turkish Towel to try for my very own from the Turkish Towel Store. I received the original peshtemal as well as a bar of Turkish soap. Peshtemal has been used for over 600 years that is amazing. I love that these fancy, new to me if you will towels will become more soft and absorbent over time. They are so easy to care for too, just machine wash cold with like colors, no bleach, no softener, and tumble dry low. I just put this in with my colors and I am all set.

Some reasons to consider a Turkish Towel are :

-Made of hundred percent cotton, bamboo or linen yarn that are colored with natural dyes, it is chemical-free and woven on hand looms.

-Maintains body temperature in cold environments and keeps cool in hot weather also protects from the sun's rays.

-Facilitates the skin breathing and allows evaporation of sweat.                                                              

-It does not irritate the skin and does not cause allergies.

-It is lightweight and easy to carry, takes up very small space on the shelf and in the bag.                                                               

We are a little bit early for summer to no outside beach pictures I am sorry to say but soon enough you will see us toting this around to the beach or theme parks, who knows God willing we might even get in a little vacation this summer.

Either way my readers can get in on a sweet deal for a limited time below. Check it out while it lasts and get yourself one of these and maybe even one of these fragrant bars of soap made with olive oil and essential oils. While you are there check out all of their other items too I know I have my eye on a few myself with all of the spring Birthdays coming fast on my tail.

HP Envy x360 Laptop

*Post sponsored by Best Buy. All opinions are my own. 

My favorite computer has always been an HP. Now that I am exclusively on a laptop my first pick was an HP. They have never let me down. I have to be honest and say I am a bit envious over the HP Envy x360 Laptop that I am going to tell you about. Pretty sure this is my next electronic device to save up for. 

Right now before I even get into the specs and awesomeness I want you to know that there is a deal right now till 7/28/2018 for $100.00 off of either the 13 or 15 inch HP Envy x360 Laptop at BestBuy. The links can be found below. 

HP Envy x360 Laptop available in 13 inch

                                                          15 inch

Here is the list of things you an expect from the HP Envy x360 Laptop

Windows 10 operating system

Windows 10 brings back the Start Menu from Windows 7 and introduces new features, like the Edge Web browser that lets you markup Web pages on your screen.

Built for Windows Ink

Quickly jot down notes and ideas with ease.

Full HD touch screen

The 1920 x 1080 resolution boasts impressive color and clarity. Natural finger-touch navigation makes the most of Windows 10. IPS technology for wide viewing angles. Energy-efficient WLED backlight.

8GB system memory for advanced multitasking

Substantial high-bandwidth RAM to smoothly run your games and photo- and video-editing applications, as well as multiple programs and browser tabs all at once.

360° flip-and-fold design

Offers versatile functionality with laptop, audience, tabletop, presentation and tablet modes.

What sold me besides it being a HP product is that it will take the place of my tablet. It is a 2-in-1 device that transforms in seconds from laptop to tablet. I can write on it with my stylus thanks to the Windows Ink capabilities and Windows operating system. I am in love. What is best is that it is thin and light so you can take it almost anywhere you need to go. So helpful on the job, at home, school, college, or even for us bloggers who like to be near somewhere to write 24/7.

MEMORIAL DAY OUTDOOR GAMES FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Bring the fun to your backyard this Memorial Day weekend with yard games for all ages. While you’re grilling up hotdogs and hamburgers, friends and family will be striking up friendly competition – and an appetite.
Here are a few of our favorite backyard games.

I have seen my family play this at our 4th of July parties but have never really played myself.

Wild Gate Sports Stars and Stripes Cornhole Tailgate Toss
You can’t beat a classic! Not only is cornhole a universally appealing game, it’s also easy to teach new or young players – less time teaching, more time playing. Plus, this set features a stars and stripes design that is perfect for your Memorial Day cookout and other events all summer long. Pull it out again later in the summer for the Fourth of July!



Croquet was one of my biggest summer activities with my father, every now and then we even got my mother out to play with us. This is a game I would teach all of my friends how to play when they come over. It is time to buy a set and teach my own children how much fun this game is.

Baden Champions Series Croquet Sets
A croquet set is a summertime staple for backyards large and small. Designed for 2-6 players, we especially like how this set features hardwood mallets with soft rubber grips for comfort. It even comes with a complete croquet rulebook, perfect for new players or rusty ones.


This is another game I would like to add to our outside games. Again I have seen my family play this at parties but have never played myself.

AGame 2017 Classic Ladderball Game 
If you’re looking for a new backyard challenge, this ladderball game fits the bill. Friends and family will appreciate the easy learning curve to this game, but the extra skill involved to getting the golf tosses around the ladders.

Keep kids occupied and active this summer with this selection of our favorite backyard games from DICK’S Sporting Goods. Until 7/29, buy one game and get the second for 50% off. No code needed.

Poleish Sports Bottle Bash Game 
This unique game will put your kids’ skills to the test. Filled with competitive fun and excitement that the whole family can enjoy, Bottle Bash combines the games of disc golf and horseshoes with a few new twists.


MashBall Game Set
This game set offers competitive fun in the backyard, the park, or the beach. Create two teams of two and take turns throwing the ball into the holes. The first team to get to all 10 holes win.


This is another of our favorite beach and backyard games.

OrgoSport OGODISK-XS Game Set
From pool parties to backyard fun, this game set combines all of your child’s favorite games into one. Safe and fun to use, it’s perfect for playing disc golf, catch, baseball, or badminton. Kids can play in teams or individually.
