How to use a French Press



Before getting the Francois et Mimi Vintage Double Wall French Press I had known what one was but husband did not. Let's just say that my husband has a new favorite way of enjoying his Coffee. A coffee he already liked just became super delicious with the French Press. 

My husband had no idea how much better his coffee would taste once made in a French Press. Now he is a believer. I had heard once you French Press you never want to go back to regular coffee again. With a little extra time and love you have a delicious and memorable cup of coffee. Even my daughters agreed that the coffee is much better.

Iphone 6 case Armadillo-Fortress Heavy Duty


 

This is of course for our oldest daughter who actually opened my mail today and said I had to do my review right away so she could put this on her phone today. Which she did as you can see in the pictures below. 


The iSeal Iphone 6 case Armadillo-Fortress Heavy Duty is awesome, you can change the color three different ways and have your phone safe and sound. My daughter has the black one on but she also likes the Gold colored back too. The green is nice she says but not a color she would use unless something happened to the other two colors. 

This is something I would love to see made available for the iPad mini as well not the belt clip but the rest of it. I really like how my daughters gets three looks from the same case which is always nice as us girls like to change things up often.

Who Sharpens your knives?

My husband has carried several different knives with him for different jobs he has had over his lifetime, and one thing he is always looking for is a better knife sharpener. In our home my husband is also the knife Sharpener because sharps and me do not mix. 


My husband likes how the Priority Chef  Knife Sharpener has a hand hold that sits flat on the surface making it more safe for your hands and body. Nothing is full proof but he says this is the best one he has owned and seen so far in his time of using knife sharpeners. That says a lot because he does not easily like things that are new, unless he has personally picked the item out. 

The Priority Chef  Knife Sharpener is as easy and 1 & 2 there is no three.

You can purchase on Amazon. 

What Priority Chef has to say about their product.
  • Not All Knife Sharpeners Are Created Equal! - This Priority Chef knife sharpener is different from the many other knife sharpeners available on the market today. Most sharpeners will create a typical straight 'V' shaped finish. This Priority Chef knife sharpener model PC-KN02 will create a concave shaped finish to your knife, giving an extra sharpness that most other sharpeners can't compete with.

    Ergonomically Designed Handle and Non Slip Base - The stylish knife sharpener's handle has been designed to fit comfortably when in use allowing you a good firm grip and has a soft, cushioned non-slip base under that stylish steel base!

    Please Note - This knife sharpener is not suitable for serrated or ceramic knives.

    2 Stage Knife Sharpening System - Priority Chef's professionally designed advanced knife sharpener has 2 stages that can transform any straight edged knife to a new level of sharpness that almost any professional chef would be proud of. Stage 1 uses Tungsten carbide blades and should only be used for the dullest of blades. Around 3-4 pulls through this section will prepare your knife shape for the the next step. Stage 2 uses 2 ceramic wheels that will give your knife a high quality finish and a razor like edge.

PurSabino Non Slip Toeless Yoga Socks Bella Style





The number one reason of using a Yoga mat is so that you don't slip around while trying to do Yoga poses, the second reason would be more comfort for your body while you are doing Yoga poses on the floor with your body. Still looking for the perfect supporting Yoga mat for those who bruise easily and have pain such as Fibromyalgia.

With PurSabino Non Slip Toeless Yoga Socks Bella Style if you don't need the support you can kick the mat to the curb so to speak. No more slipping and sliding. I really like these Yoga socks because they have cutouts so my toes are uncovered which means my feet can have a bit of fresh air while doing poses.

These are quite pretty, comfortable, and easy to care for. I am very impressed with the PurSabino line. No more slipping on my wood floors. Personally I only use the mat for when I am doing body poses on the floor.

You can purchase PurSabino Non Slip Toeless Yoga Socks Bella Style on Amazon.

Probiotic Chews for Dogs with Prebiotics





Honestly I never thought about giving my pet probiotics before but you know what? It makes sense. I want our Saint Bernard Princess Goliath to live a long and healthy life. She is nearing year seven now and the life expectancy for a Saint is between 9-11. Time goes by way to quickly even for pets in our lives.

As you can see below our Princess is ready to have her medicine. We call it what it is for two reasons. One we don't want Princess to get confused and, two because our children need to know they can not give her a bunch because it is medicine. We want our children to know that if you take too much of a medication you can get sicker even if it was given to make you better. As they grow we go into details more. 

Princess even gives kisses when she is done.
