Meat thermometer Review + Giveaway



Here is another great Meat thermometer from Kanbrook. What I like about this one is that it has a sheath to put the meat thermometer in after you have cleaned it. That means no more pokes when you are trying to find it in your gadget drawer. 

I really like how quick and easy this is to use. If you are checking on meat for several different orders from guests then you want a quick reading meat thermometer. Think Burgers and Steaks made to order for your friends and family. This is awesome. 

Now for the Giveaway

One of our readers will win their very own Kanbrook Meat Thermometer. Open to USA residents only from 3/27/2015 - 3/28/2015 12:00AM EST. MarksvilleandMe is not responsible for prize distribution that will come from Kanbrook. MarksvilleandMe wishes everyone who enters Good Luck!

You can purchase the Kanbrook Meat thermometer on Amazon.

Photo Acrylic Paint Sets by Color Gallery Ander Blake Co

For Christmas my 17 year old daughter received a easel, canvas and paint set, we knew she would run out of paint quickly so when I saw this review pop up, I just had to jump on it so that she will have extra when she needs it. 

She is going to be doing a how to use video in the next few days so check back or visit my YouTube website at MarksvilleandMe to see these Acrylic Paints in use.

Myself I have only used water color to paint with and even though my mother cherished my painting I hadn't thought I had done very good. I am very excited to see what my daughter will make with her box of 12 Photo Acrylic Paint Sets by Color Gallery Ander Blake Co.

EcoPoof Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags


Our family owns a Saint Bernard named Princess Goliath. She is a big girl therefore she leaves big steaming piles of dog doo. Most of the time she just goes in our yard and we add it to our compost pile but when we walk her out of our yard I try to make sure the kids or I always pick up her messes. Besides some nearby horses or cows she makes the biggest piles so everyone would know whose they were. No hiding her piles and getting away with it.

Usually I just send a plastic grocery bag with the girls or stick one in my pocket when I walk her. Another one of the companies I work with sent me a really nice doggy bone shaped Poop Bag Dispenser that hooks on to my Princess's collar which comes in handy and holds the EcoPoof Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags perfectly.

I like that these bags break down instead of just being in a landfill for years to come. They break down in about 20 months which is awesome if you ask me.

You can purchase the EcoPoof Biodegradable Dog Waste Bags on Amazon.


What EcoPoof has to say about their product.
We here at EcoPoof have designed a bag that is durable enough to withstand a crap-load, pun intended. It's leak proof, extremely durable, and easy to detach and open. And the bag is large enough for all types of messes, big or small. Big enough to not worry about your hand coming in contact with your dogs feces. The PLUS SIDE to this product it's bio-degradable. Our bags were developed with the new D2W technology which helps the bags breakdown without leaving a harmful residue behind. Who needs that?

Help us clean up and make this world a better place, ONE BAG AT A TIME!

Couture Gel Nail Polish Review + Giveaway




One thing about being a mom with four girls is that we do lots and lots of fingernail polish, and have used tons over the years. My oldest daughter was the first to try Gel Nail Polish from a Nail Salon. My second daughter had hers done about a month ago with her best friend ( her best friends grandma treated). They both loved it, so when the opportunity to try Couture Gel Nail Polish came along I jumped right in as I wanted to try out what everyone else has been raving about.

The kit is amazing and you get all of the below for $99.00. What a bargain. Believe me I have looked for other prices on other kits that are available out there. Now I have to mention that I have never done this and stay tuned for the video coming soon for the unboxing as well as the first ever time using the Couture Gel Nail Polish by yours truly.


This company is a Mom and Daughter run business, they were the first to manufacture gel nail polish without the use of harmful chemicals. They have 100 colors available and they are manufactured in California and have no history of animal testing. They also have nail stamping kits and glitter. What a great company. I can not wait to see what else they will come up with for their customers.

Blupure ecofriendly 13 stage countertop water filter



As a mom I want my family to drink the best water there is. I grew up drinking tap water. I have always been very picky about the water I drink. Matter of fact it is one of the things I do first when checking out places to live. 

Luckily I haven't had to check out water in years as we have been in our currant house for a long time now. Even though the water tastes fine to me I insist on having a water filter, just in case. The house we rent is very old and I am sure somewhere in this house there is lead, but we just haven't bothered it or it was taken care of long before we moved in. 

Either way for the safety of my family we use a water filter. What I like about this filter more then any other filter we have had so far is that you can actually open it up and see the 13 stages
the water goes through before it ends up in your body. 

You can purchase the Blupure ecofriendly 13 stage countertop water filter on Amazon.
