5-in-1 Grooming Kit


Planning and having a large family meant spending our money wisely or as wisely as we could with what we had coming in. One of the things that were cut back early on in our marriage was going to the hair stylist for hair cuts. I do about once every year or even once every two years. With my husband we learned to do his hair at home with grooming kits similar to this one from Sminiker. 

I am in love with this 5-in-1 grooming kit for two reasons. It is rechargeable and it has no cords to get in the way. This makes keeping my husbands hair at it's best. Over the years he did learn how to do most of his head alone and then I come in and do the edging, as well as getting any places he missed while doing it himself. 

I will be honest when you first do your hair at home it is learning process and something that takes time to get used to. Mistakes will be made but once you get the hang of it you are good to go. Luckily my husband and boys all kept their hair short so I was able to keep their hair looking good with little to no effort. 

My husband has been getting older and has been looking for a new set which included a nose hair attachment, which this does so he is really happy with both the capabilities as well as the cordless part as well.

No Stuffed Bears Here

























The next Holiday on our list is Valentine's day and what a cute item to pick up for the love in your life. From your daughter to a bear lover this is sure to please. Made by J.NINA with Swarovski Crystals, with movable limbs makes this so gorgeous, I had a hard time giving this to my daughter and not keeping it for myself.

I love the chain because is different then most plain chain necklaces out there and is sturdy enough, yet still beautiful but not too much so that it takes away from the awesome bear attached.

I had no idea just how beautiful this would be until I opened it and even though these pictures are pretty good they don't do it justice till you see it in person. This is a nice necklace to wear with turtlenecks, sweaters, etc. I am in love and hope to see more items like this in the near future. This cute bear necklace can be found at my affiliate link below.

DreamWorks Trollhunters Part 2 Premieres Tomorrow Exclusively on Netflix






















In Part 2 of the epic saga DreamWorks Trollhunters, ordinary teen-turned-Trollhunter Jim Lake Jr. faces new challenges in his continued battle to protect his hometown of Arcadia and the fantastical Troll world he inherited. Jim's risky decision to enter the Darklands unearths startling discoveries, forcing him and his friends to face gripping consequences as they race to end the battle against evil.

With a good cast of stars this is sure to be a treat for all. Mark Hamill, Lena Headey and David Bradley, who join Kelsey Grammer in his Emmy-winning role as Blinky, Steven Yeun (Steve), Anjelica Huston (Queen Ursurna), Jonathan Hyde (Strickler), Amy Landecker (Barbara) and Charlie Saxton (Toby).  The late Anton Yelchin, who completed recording through Part 2, voices the lead role of Jim Lake, Jr. I know my girls loved when the first Trollhunters came out and I am sure they will love this just as much.

Healing Tree



I love it when I get to try out new Vegan products. This time I received a natural lip balm that goes on smooth and leaves my lips moist for quite a while. I also received the Thai Herbal Soap Red Chili & Spice which also comes in Sweet Basil & Lime. All of these products are available at the Healing Tree website with many other vegan products.


At first upon getting the Red Chili & Spice soap I was thinking it would be too harsh on my skin, but to my surprise it left my skin feeling clean, and soft to the touch.

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.
