New BakeitFun Baking Mat Blue Review





This is the second time our family has had the pleasure of being able to review a product from bake it fun. You can read my original review here. From my last post you know that these baking mats from BakeitFun were a total upgrade, so much in fact that I passed my old set which is way over 10 years old onto my daughter who likes to use them when she plays with her play-doh. It was a winning choice for everyone.

Just like our first mat we are very happy with the results and matter of fact our older BakeitFun mat looks just as new as the one we just received which is awesome since the baking of the pad is white. These are used almost every time we bake. I did make one rule. That was that my husband can not use these when he makes his wings. 





Some of you may know that we have made a change in how we eat, it is slow going but I have to win over my family with new recipes made differently, and it is a hard sell in a lot of places, don't worry we aren't ready to give up meat or brownies anytime soon we are just changing how we prepare them. 

I found a great recipe for Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies (Grain Free). Almond Flour is a new ingredient for us and I will be having another blog up soon about that, but if you are interested in the recipe you can find it by clicking on the name above.

You can purchase the BakeitFun Baking Mat in Blur or other colors on Amazon.

What Bake It Fun has to say about their product. 

SAVE TIME & MONEY: Reuse up to 2,000 times (10 years)! Spare 63 cooking spray cans and 3,879 sheets of parchment paper with this premium baking mat; HELP THE ENVIRONMENT and save up to $800 at the same time! Old bakeware will work like new with our naturally nonstick silicone; Our baking liners are very easy to clean-up, just wipe with hot soapy water after use, let air dry; Store flat or rolled.

DURABLE & RESISTANT: BakeitFun silicone baking mat resist temperatures from -40°F (-40°C) to 450°F (230°C), so you can take the mat out of the freezer, straight to the microwave or oven; Its reinforced FIBREGLASS MESH covered by PREMIUM FOOD GRADE SILICONE provides outstanding heat distribution, giving you better results everytime.

PERFECT FOR COOKING AND BAKING: Our specially designed silicone baking mat HAS 2 UNIQUE FEATURES that you'll love! The RULES AND CIRCLES gives you more confidence while rolling out dough, making cookies, macarons, cheese crisps and many other kinds of cooking and baking uses; Sticky foods are no longer a concern as they slide right off.

SAFE & NON-TOXIC: Protect your children by having the most safe baking mat available on the market - It's
German Food Grade approved, BPA free and FDA safe; BRING YOUR KIDS into the kitchen with joy.

Adovia Dead Sea Bath Salts -100% Pure Review


Long Bath soaks are part of me time. I take in a book, light a candle and just enjoy the time I have to myself. Being a mother of 6 this is usually done once the kids are in bed, or when my husband keeps them busy for me to have some time in the tub.

Some of the ways I enjoy my bath are to add bubbles, scent, or Salts to my bath. I have been using Epsom salts for years and very rarely actually get to use Dead Sea Salt. I know I won't get the same results as actually laying in the Dead Sea but for my budget this is as close as I am getting.

Years ago I was told to take Salt baths to help my kidneys clear out toxins from my system. I have bad kidneys from being sick during my life. The Dr. keeps a close eye on me and is always advising me on what I should try as to what I should not try. Soaking in Bath salts is one way to keep my kidneys doing what they need to do.

You can purchase Adovia Dead Seas Bath Salts on Amazon.

What Adovia has to say about their product. 
Dead Sea Salts are the Best Bath Salts on The Planet - Much Higher Mineral Concentration than Epsom Salt! with a High Concentration of Minerals which are Essential for Proper Skin Health and Beauty

Adovia Dead Sea Salt is Fine Grain for Faster Dissolving - Packaged in a Resealable Zip Lock Bag.

Provides relief from Psoriasis, Eczema, and Arthritis symptoms. Formulated with over 26 essential minerals the body needs for natural soothing and relaxation.

Find Relief from Aches and Pains by Soaking in a Bath full of these Salts. Rejuvenates, exfoliates, and softens while it soothes!

Contains absolutely zero additives, colors, or scents. Higher Level of Minerals and Relief than Epsom Salt
