Holiday Gift Guide: Tassimo T20 + 24 HOUR GIVEAWAY!!

I have always been a coffee drinker for a very long time. I think it all started when I worked at Dunkin' Donuts when I was in high school. Lately however, I don't drink as much except for my morning coffee. I just have to have a cup of coffee to start my day. I can't seem to function without one. My husband is totally the opposite. He's not much into regular coffees. He does love hot chocolates and specialty drinks such as latte.

I have been wanting to get single serve brewer for a while now. I was torn between a Keurig and Tassimo. My two sisters and my mom has a Keurig and they love it. But I wanted something that my husband and I would like and enjoy, not just me. So I decided a Tassimo Brewing System was the perfect choice because not only it makes coffee, hot chocolate and tea but it also makes latte, cappuccinos, and expresso....So I asked my husband to get me one for Christmas. Little did I know, I did not have to wait for Christmas to get one! I was so excited when I found out I will get a chance to review the Tassimo T20.

I don't have a Keurig so I can't tell you which one is better but I can tell you that I LOVE the the Tassimo T20!

Features of Bosch T20 Home Brewing System

• Makes drinks in about 1 minute

• 7.08 lbs.
• Brewer dimensions: Length: 11.0 "; Width: 7.9 "; Depth: 11.8 "

The initial set up was very easy. I did not have to assemble anything. After running the Service T DISC a few times, I was ready to make my first cup of Starbucks Cappuccino Primo. And loved it. I love Starbucks drinks but don't always buy them because they are a bit expensive. I am so glad I don't have to pay the expensive price each time I want them and I can have them anytime I want! Infact, I can have any drink in less than a minute...Thanks to my Tassimo Brewer!

You don't have to mess with setting changes each time you want to make coffee, cappuccino or tea. This machine does it on it's own thanks to smart bar code technology, which allows the brewer to adjust each beverage with the proper temperature pressure and amount of water. You can also add more water if you want to make it a little milder or just leave it the way it is. If you want to make different drinks at the same time, you don't have to worry about taste transferring or affecting your other drinks.

I was sent the white color and I really like that it is not huge and bulky. It does not take a lot of space in my countertop. You can also purchase a Brewer Kit to customize your Tassimo. It comes with four different colors. I have the Hazelnut color and adding it makes a huge difference. It's also very easy to maintain and clean.

If you are looking for the perfect gift this Christmas, I highly recommend the Tassimo T20! It's perfect for home, office and dorms!

I need a new flat iron....

If you know me personally, you know that my hair is unmanageable and frizzy. I have to constantly blow dry it and use a flat iron to straighten my hair. It is even worse in winter. My current flat iron works well and I really like it but unfortunately, it finally stopped working. I desperately need a new one.

I have been searching for the perfect flat iron. Things I look for a flat iron is that it must of course work well and affordable. Lucky for me I came across FlatIronReviews.com. It shows you all the top rated flat irons. Making my search much easier.

Karmin G3 Salon Pro is one of the top rated flat iron in FlatIronReviews.com. The price is about $139 which is pretty affordable compare to my old one. It says that you can choose to curl, flip, straighten or add volume and body to your hair. I really can't wait to try it and see for myself.

Disclaimer: I will receive the a Karmin Flat Iron in exchange for this post

Holiday Gift Guide: Gourmet Gift Baskets

I reviewed a Snack Gift Basket from Gourmet Gift Baskets a few months ago and was really impressed with it. I love everything from the selections of treats to presentations. It came perfect ready for gift giving.

This time I was sent their Nutcracker Drum Christmas Gift Basket to try. And once again, I am very happy and pleased with it. It came beautifully packaged. The presentation was perfect. My family enjoyed all the treats. It came with classic nutcracker cookies in both red and green, chocolate peppermint cookie brittle, peanut brittle, butter wafers, white chocolate amaretto wafers, English toffee caramels, peanut roll, and praline pecans. All packaged perfectly in a multifunctional keepsake drum.

I think gift baskets are the perfect gift for any occations. You can never go wrong on giving one. I'm sure everyone loves to receive gift baskets..I know I do! And Gourmet Gift Baskets offer so many to choose from. They make it easy for you to find the perfect gift basket for anyone. You can shop by Holidays, Theme, Price or Special Occations.

Holiday Gift Guide: CEIVA Pro80 + Giveaway

I recently had a chance to review CEIVA Pro80 photo frame. I was really excited to review this photo frame. CEIVA photo frame is not your ordinary digital photo frame. You can send photos to your CEIVA photo frame from your camera phone, email or photos saved on your computer.

It was very easy to set up and register my Ceiva Pro80. And just after a few minutes I was able to send photos I took from my iPhone to the frame. The frame came with Wi-Fi adapter but you can also use a phone line. I'm glad it came with a Wi-Fi adapter because we don't have a phone line connection.

I only had a hard time setting up the media server to get photos directly from my computer. I have a Mac and it says I had to download Rivet which was not free. I downloaded the free version but I could not make it work. I had to ask my brother to help me out and he was able to use a free program instead of Rivet.

These are some of my favorite features of Cevia Pro80

• You can invite friends and family to send you photos to your frame.
• You can upload your photos from your facebook/flickr. ( I love facebook!)
• You can get weather or news updates every day on your frame.
• You can send a card from their galleries or design your own.
• They give you Unlimited online storage for your photos.
• If your frame breaks, they will fix it for free!

Overall, I love me Ceiva Pro80. If you are looking for gifts this holiday, I definitely recommend giving Ceiva Photo Frame. They are perfect for grandparents who are not computer savy. You can easily send them pictures of their grandkids every day! You can even schedule photos for delivery in advance to surprise them!

Special Pricing For the Holidays:

• CEIVA Pro80 Starter Pack (includes one-year PicturePlan Photo Delivery Service and WiFi adapter)- $119.95
• CEIVAshare Starter Pack (includes one-year PicturePlan Photo Delivery Service)- $99.95 (Wifi adapter optional)

Holiday Gift Guide: Beamz Player - Give the Gift of Music

I never heard of Beamz Player until recently when I was asked to review one. I then googled it to find out what it was. Just like any products, I saw good and bad reviews. I decided to try it and see for myself. What really intrigued me was the price. I wanted to see why it's a bit pricey.

The Beamz is an innovative recreational musical instrument that enables people to have fun creating and playing music. It allows you to do things with music, videos and games that you have never been able to do before. You can be your own band. You can play up to 12 different instruments and sound effects during each song.. You create and arrange the music differently each time you play. Whats so great about it is that there is no string, nothing to touch, you just PLAY THE LIGHT! You can even record and share your new created music to your friends and family. It includes 50 Top Hit "Jam" and orginal Beamz songs and 5 popular Music Videos.

You can even change music videos. You can add music or sound effects to a video while it is playing! You can also play games by using ShadowBeamz interactive music game.

I think the Beamz Player is pretty cool. I love that anyone can play with it. You don't have to know any musical instruments. As young as age 7 can play and have fun with it or even younger. You can play with it straight out of the box. Now I understand why it is a bit pricey. No wonder why it is one of the hottest toys for Christmas this season!

You can purchase the Beamz Player for $199

Holiday Gift Guide: Rocking Seesaw from HearthSong + Giveaway

If you're looking for gifts for kids this holiday, I definitely recommend HearthSong. They offer so many fun and unique toys for kids. Make sure you check out their amazing collections of outdoor toys, games, puzzles and arts & crafts. You can find "toys you'll feel good about giving."

I was given another opportunity to review one of their toys. This time they sent me their Rocking Seesaw. My husband was not very thrilled when it first arrived. First because of the size. He did not want any big toys because we are running out of space. It also came with a lot of pieces and it took a while to put together, almost two hours.

But after putting it together and saw how my kids loved it, he changed his mind. In fact, he even said this is the best toy I reviewed so far for my kids! And I totally agree. I love the Rocking Seesaw more every day. You don't usually see my kids play together but with the Rocking Seasaw, they can play and have fun together for hours.

It is very well made and very durable. It is made of durable weather-resistant metal with rubber-padded rockers, , comfy seats and sturdy handlebars. I can definitely tell this well last for many years. The maximum weight is 140lbs total or 70lbs for each seat. Honestly, it can hold much more than that! My husband and I even sat on them to show my kids how to play with it when we first got it. Also many times, 5 kids actually sat on it, two in each side and my little Emma in the middle. The metals are still intact and no signs of metal bending. Because the metal rocker is rubber-padded, we don't have to worry scratching our wooden floor.

Another reason why I love the Rocking Seesaw is that, even one child can play alone and still have fun. Libby loves to sit in the middle while watching TV. Even Emma does it sometimes. They try to balance and even stand on their feet without holding.

You can purchase the Rocking Seesaw for $79.98.

Holiday Gift Guide: Flirty Aprons

Last month, Flirty Aprons sent me one of their apron to review. Choosing the design was the hardest. They had so many cute designs and color to choose from. I picked one of their original apron, Scalloped Cherry Blossom.

The Women's Original apron was designed with real women in mind. It's long, thick waist ties and unique apron pattern allow women to adjust the tie length and bow to meet their specific needs, resulting in REAL WOMEN of every size. Not just models, looking beautiful and feeling great.

I love the Scalloped Cherry Blossom apron that they sent me. The quality is great. The fabric is soft. I love the designs, prints and it is very well made. I honestly do not wear apron at home, but after trying on the Scalloped Cherry Blossom apron, I love wearing them. They are not your ordinary boring apron. They're fun, cute and make you feel sexy. I would have never thought I can look sexy while cleaning and cooking but thanks to Flirty Apron, I can! They also have been washed many times and so far they washes well. It's still look brand new.

If you're looking for gifts this holiday, I definitely recommend Flirty Aprons. They also carry men's aprons and children's aprons. I personally love the matching kid's and mom aprons. They are adorable! You can purchase the Women's Apron Scalloped Cherry Blossom for $29.95. They will ship your apron out the same day! And all their aprons has 30 day satisfaction guaranteed.
