BitElegant French Press



My husband loves French Press coffee the best so we were looking for a new glass and stainless steel Press and found one from BitElegant. It has a classic look with a nice weight to it. The glass beaker is removable so that you can wash both the glass and the stainless steel which is really nice if you are hosting.

I love that this comes with a spoon, extra screens, as well as a nice how to book for those who may be new to French Pressing, which also includes some recipes for flavored French Press Coffee's. This is a great item to choose for the coffee lover in your family and something I am glad we were able to try out years ago and fall in love with ourselves. 

Another great use for this is to make tea, which is my favorite way to use it. Either way our whole family loves to watch the French Press in action. This 34 ounce French Press from BitElegant is available at my affiliate link below.

Clinton vs Trump which will you choose





When it comes to teas it is hard to choose and of course The Tea Book and Collect Teables bring up these delightful 2016 Presidential Election Collectable teas. You can get Donald TEArump which is a pure white tea with peach and you have the Hillary ClinTEAn tea in Vanilla essence. Both great teas but which will you choose?

I personally like the Donald TEArump tea but when it comes to election day it all comes down to the votes at the voting booths. Good luck to both Presidential Election Parties. Let the best man or woman win.

No more messes




OK here's the story I was to receive these long handled ice cream spoons for a review, so I ordered them, never received them. Tracking says the UPS put the box on our outside porch. Well our UPS man always puts the boxes on our inside porch, and all of our other packages that day came with no problems, so I had to have the company send another set out because Amazon says they were delivered when they were not.

Amazon this time put them in with 6 other items and they have been in transit between New Jersey and my home which is a hop skip and jump away since September 3rd. I spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with Amazon the other day to get them to ship the Spoons out yet again and the other 6 products I didn't get from the second order which are lost somewhere in the Twilight Zone. They are supposed to arrive on September 23rd. Let's just say I am not holding my breath.

No this isn't a bash on Amazon, things like this happen, and 99.9% of my other items have come on time if not early so I really can't complain all that much. So I am writing this until I can get the real review up about the spoons so that my information is up on time. I will return and edit this when the spoons come in to tell everyone how they are.

So here is the update Finally my spoons have arrived very long story but after two orders which were not the seller's problem they are here safe and sound. Love these spoons for ice cream sundaes. When we have ice cream sundaes we go all out with the tall ice cream sundae dishes, toppings, the works, right down the cherry on top. Having long handled spoons is a must to keep the fingers from getting all full of chocolate which I am sure wouldn't be much of a problem, but hey us moms try to keep our little ones clean when we can.

We also use these for Root Beer Floats which again we go all out with. We have the super large beer mugs that aren't used for anything other than Ice Cream Floats. My mother never really liked Root Beer Floats so she always got her with cola instead. I like to put orange soda in from time to time as well, but our family's all time favorite would be the Root Beer Float and again a long handed Ice Cream Spoon is needed to enjoy it correctly.

These Long Handled spoons are a little bit differently shaped than a Ice Tea Spoon which we have used from time to time if the Ice Cream spoons have been dirty. More rounded on then a egg shape, but not like a soup spoon either. I really like these spoons and they will make a great addition to our silverware. I received this product as part of a promotion in order to facilitate an honest and unbiased review.


You can find the ice cream spoons on Amazon.


Includes 8 high quality stainless steel long handle ice cream spoons. This set of ice cream spoons is designed to help reach to the bottom of deep ice cream mugs, bowls, sundae cups, and milkshakes.

Each spoons in this set is pressed out a solid sheet of steel, hand polished, and then inspected to ensure they are of the highest quality, polish, and functionality. Lot of work for an ice cream spoon set, but we want to ensure that we are providing your ice cream eating with the absolute best tools.

Each set includes 8 long handle bistro style ice cream spoons perfect for nearly any ice cream application.

These long handle spoons are also perfect for use as long handle tea spoons, long handle stirring spoons for large decanters and containers, and much more.

These long handle bistro style ice cream spoons are great for nearly any application that involves the need to stir or scoop ice cream or other food items, without getting your hands dirty, or making the food unsanitary.

Fruit and Tea Tumbler


A new idea for our family. We have been infusing water with fruit, but we hadn't tried to infusing tea with fruit. Oh my it is so good and just as easy as it is when you do water.

Love the glass bottle, kind of like drinking out of a tall mason jar. We were looking for a change from infused water and we have found it. We have even started infusing different fruit with lemonade. Yummy.

The metal mesh keeps the fruit or tea if you are using fresh tea leaves from going into your mouth while drinking the tea. What I love most is that I can still use herbal tea bags, or even decaffeinated tea so I can enjoy a nice cool drink.

You can purchase the Ephistica Infusion Bottle on Amazon.

Sophisticated glass and bamboo glass tumbler for Tea and Fruit infusions , Double glass wall for insolation - efficient and ecofriendly! Keeps warm drinks for up to two hours.

Personally I don't like Matcha brewed hot, but I can tolerate it in a smoothie or even in baked goods like cookies. If you do a search on the internet you can bring up lots of ways to include this in your diet.

TeaVas Tea Bell




My favorite hot drinks are Cocoa and Tea in that order. I get my tea drinking from my English heritage. My grandfather on my paternal side is from Coventry England. I love to drink tea and have always wanted a Tea Bell for loose leaf tea. Loose Leaf really does taste better then the bagged tea. Not sure why but it just does at least to me.

This tea bell is my new favorite cup of tea companion. Now to find out more about different kinds of loose tea so I can broaden my flavors. The TeaVas Tea Bell is easy to use and super easy to clean. I love the silicon cover because it doesn't bang inside my cup making a racket early in the morning while I am trying to enjoy my cup of tea.

You can purchase the TeaVas Tea Bell on Amazon.


What Tea Vas has to say about their product.
The TeaVas Tea Bell tea steeper has been specifically designed for those who appreciate the joy of escaping with a perfectly infused cup of their favorite loose leaf tea. If you have come to appreciate that fine tea is as much about the process of preparation as it is the enjoyment of the warm glass in you hands and the rich flavor on your pallet, you have found a tea infuser you simply won’t be able to live without. This Tea Bell is made of durable stainless steel and food grade silicone and is both easy to use and clean (tap used leaves out and wash by hand or place in the dishwasher). This product fits fits any size cup and will not float.

Note that this tea infuser is ideal for medium to coarse grained teas but is NOT for fine grained teas.

The TeaVas Tea Bell... Escape with the perfect cup of tea.

Yes he still uses his regular coffee pot but only because we sometimes need more coffee in a shorter amount of time, but having it french pressed is his favorite way to use enjoy his coffee. We have not tried making tea with this yet which would be my kind of drink but plan to soon.
