My Review For The Seoul Food Korean Cookbook: Korean Cooking from Kimchi and Bibimbap to Fried Chicken and Bingsoo!!!

This Korean cookbook is loaded with some tasty recipes.. & the recipes are super easy to follow!!!,

This Seoul Food Korean Cookbook by Naomi Imatome-Yun is not only a cookbook filled with 135 delicious recipes. But it also tells you about the Korean traditions/cultures along with the Korean Table Manners which you can find on Page 23. It was nice setting up my table like they would & experiencing what dinner is like for them. And I love their table manners such as no sneezing or coughing at the table or never decline food or drink offered to you by an elder. I also love how Naomi educates us on what cookware & tableware we will need to fully replicate the traditional recipes in this cookbook. The one thing that is highly recommended is a all in one rice cooker seeing that most of the dishes prepared in Korea always have a bowl of rice as their center dish. A all in one rice cooker will steam meats & veggies along with cooking rice. Or it can be used a slow cooker!

This recipe cookbook is perfect for anyone who loves trying out new dishes or anyone who loves Korean food. Me personally I love trying just about anything at least once. This cookbook is full of amazing dishes from appetizers, side dishes,poultry/fish, soups & stews to rice & noodle recipes. So far I have tried the Slow Cooker Shredded Sesame Chicken along with Kimchi Fried Rice & Tofu with sauteed kimchi. There are tons more I cannot wait to try! Overall I am very pleased with this Korean Cookbook by Naomi & I definitely recommend this cookbook to anyone looking to try something new. Or if you love Korean food!

The only negative thing I have to say about this Korean Cookbook would be that there are NO illustrations! No illustrations to show what the dishes look like finished. When using recipe books I love having a picture I can go by so I can make sure my finished meal is exactly like what they made. Also there is no glossary in the back! So if you don't understand a word or anything then you will have to use a dictionary or a search engine online. But other than that I loved everything about this Korean Cookbook!

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review!

My Review For The DIY Beer Brewing: Creating Your First Homebrew by Rockridge Press

DIY Beer Brewing by Astrid Cook is a great read & a starting point for a beginner brewer..

In the beginning of the book Astrid Cook touches base on beer brewing & a very detailed step by step process for first time home brewers. I love how much thought she put into this book & how much knowledge she squeezed into it. Considering its only 95 pages long! She also provides a well detailed list of websites for home brewing events, online communities along with where to buy equipment from. My favorite part of this entire book would have to be chapter 2 pages 24-25, Astrid Cook tells us the history behind brewing & home brewing. I'm talking she goes back to 10000 BC which is pretty neat to me & she even added in a timeline showing the dates in which things happened. I learned some things I never knew prior to reading DIY Beer Brewing. She even provides a first time home brewing recipe for beginners. This recipe won't take nearly as long as other recipes! And once you perfect the beginners recipe there are tons more recipes which are more advanced. 

I love how well Astrid Cook illustrates not only the equipment we need, but also the different ingredients we need such as hops(in cone or pellet form), malt (in grains or extract format) or yeast (dry or liquid).

I definitely think this book would be a great buy for yourself or for someone who is interested in becoming a home brewer. Even if your slightly interested this book will really help with helping you decide if its something you want to pursue or not! Easy to read & Astrid Cook even put a Glossary in the back which begins on page 86-91. The index follows right after which starts on page 92-94!

My Review For The Womens Plus Size Printed Palazzo Pants by YUMMY PLUS!!!

These Printed Palazzo Pants Flow Very Nicely With My Body! They Even Make Me Look & Feel Slimmer....

Finding plus size clothes that fit is extremely difficult. Especially those of us who wear 2X-4XL in pants & shirts! Most times the sizes lie, for example I wear 2XL in pants but majority of the time I have to get 3XL because the sizes are not true to size. When I was given the chance to purchase these plus size printed palazzo pants, at a discounted rate in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion. I immediately jumped at the opportunity!

I picked the Gray Cheetah Printed Palazzo Pants size 2X Plus. When they arrived I was a little nervous to put them on! The reason being is because they looked much smaller than my waist. I was scared of the embarrassment! BUT my partner says just try them on you never know they may fit. So I put my feet in and went to pull them up & to my surprise they fit. I was so excited! They feel silky/dressy. You can clearly tell these pants are made up of 92% polyester & 8% spandex. These are made in the USA which is also a huge plus! My favorite thing about these beautifully made pants is that they flow nicely with my body. They make me feel sexy while making me look classy if that makes any sense at all! I definitely recommend these to anyone in the market looking to purchase some plus size pants. That not only make you feel pretty but look very nice! They do not make you look bigger they actually make you look slimmer. 

I received this product at a discounted price, in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion! My opinion is 100% my own & based solely on my own personal experience.

My Review For The FriendlyBands SunshineLoom DELUXE Craft Kit!!!

This Deluxe Kit Is Loaded With ALL You Need To Make Tons Of Loom Bracelets, Necklaces/Rings You Name It You Can Make It..

When they put Deluxe they absolutely nailed it! This SunshineLoom Deluxe Craft Kit by FriendlyBands is jam packed with all you need + more. In my review I will not only explain what all comes in the kit but also how much money your saving with it.

When the kit arrived I was surprised at how big the box was! On the outside of the box it explains in depth everything that's included. Which I will give you a list of what was included in my kit!

My Kit Included:

* 1 SunshineLoom & Protector Lid
* 2 FB Hooks (Custom Designed)
* 3,000 FB Rubber Bands (10 Individual Bags which contain 300 Rubber Bands    in each)
* 100 FB Links
* 20 FB Charms
* Instructional Manual
* (FB Stands for FriendlyBands)

The Instruction Manual is loaded! What I mean by loaded is it explains with illustrations of how to make single band, double band, triple band & X band loom bracelets. The instruction manual also explains how to lock your patterns & how to remove your creation or in other words your bracelet or necklace that you made. Also on the front of the instruction manual at the top on the front page they provide a QR-Code. If your phone is not compatible its Ok because FriendlyBands provided their webpage URL where you can find detailed instructions along with many more designs! They also provide the webpage URL for the videos if by chance you can't scan the QR Code. FriendlyBands thought of everything! Now enough about the Amazing instructions that are included lets move on to everything else this kit comes with.

 I would like to begin with discussing the Circular Loom which is super neat! I have only seen the square or rectangular Looms, or the ones you can take apart to make it smaller or bigger. This circular loom is just perfect & really makes it much easier to make necklaces, ankle bracelets, bracelets, rings etc. Some of things I love about this loom is that its numbered and is marked where the bracelet would be considered Small,Med,Large,XL! This makes it easier to know how many rubber bands I will need. The pegs are very strong and well made. There definitely not chintzy and will not snap & break. In the center of the circular loom is 2 spots where you can put the rubber bands your going to use. Now this feature is probably my favorite! Because say I am making a bracelet & I have to stop I can leave the rubber bands in the center, and snap the protective lid on. Also in the center is a spot for your hook to lock in place! I measured the circular loom from one side to the other and it measures 9.25 inches wide. Its pretty big!

Next I will talk about the rubber bands & the charms that are included! You get 10 packs of rubber bands all different colors & individually wrapped. They come in a zip lock bag which is labeled 300. Meaning there is 300 rubber bands in each bag! Also the charms & FB links come in a zip lock bag. There neatly placed in a plastic divider that is flimsy but will work as a storage for keeping the rubber bands. But decided to keep the rubber bands in the zip lock bags to keep them neat & tidy. The FB Links which are also called S links are gray/silver instead of the clear ones that all kits come with. I love that there gray/silver which makes the bracelets look much better then when made with the clear S links. The rubber bands are latex free, which it seems like more and more people are becoming allergic to latex so this is a huge plus! The rubber bands are much stronger than the cheap ones that you end up spending a ton of money on and you barely stretch them & they snap. So I don't have to worry about getting halfway done with a bracelet and the middle rubber band snapping on me. That makes me so mad! I added pictures to show all the charms that are included. Lastly the FB Hooks that are included are much thicker than your average hook. If you don't know what a hook is its basically a crochet hook that is long and at the end has a curved hook to move the rubber bands and pull them under or over rubber bands. This hook fits comfortably in my hands it does not bend on me! And is made of plastic.

Overall I am very happy with this SunshineLoom Deluxe Kit by FriendlyBands. It has everything you need to get started or if your like me & have been making looms bracelets etc for sometime you will love the fact of saving tons of money and getting all you need in this kit. 300 rubber bands usually cost $4-$6 depending on where you go. That means $40.00 minimum for 10 bags of 300 rubber bands. The loom itself would cost $10-$20 again depending on where you go. I am not including the charms & s links. So basically if you were to buy everything in this kit separately your talking roughly $70! Definitely a great deal. I highly recommend this Deluxe Kit by FriendlyBands especially those in the market looking to purchase a kit. This would be great for a Christmas present, Birthday present or even just a gift to be nice. You will be glad you did!

My Review For Elama® R/C Train with Motorized Turning Gears and Remote Control Handset - Ages 5-12!!!

Sounds exactly like a Train when turned on, moves smoothly & keeps the kids occupied for hours..

I was given the opportunity to test/review this R/C Train with Motorized Turning Gears by Elama for FREE, in exchange for my honest & unbiased opinion. When the R/C Train arrived I couldn't wait to put it together for my Niece to play with. Mind you this does say ages 5-12 BUT my Niece who is 3 & my Niece who is 6 absolutely loved it.

When I opened the box I checked to make sure all the contents were included!

I then realized I needed 3 1.5V AA batteries for the R/C Train & 2 1.5V AA Batteries for the remote control handset. So I grabbed those thankfully I had them on hand, because the girls were patiently waiting so they could drive it around. Once I placed the batteries in the R/C Train & the remote control (which you do need screw driver for both of them to get to where the batteries need to go). We began putting the train together by connecting all the changeable building blocks. That part was easy! Thanks to Elama including very detailed instructions which helped me tremendously. Then me & the girls put all the stickers on the gears then we placed them all on the train. Once we finished putting the stickers on the train it was time to drive it. So I turned the train on by hitting the red button located on top of the train! My Niece Hope who is 6 had to drive it first so I handed her the remote control. The remote control has a forward button with a arrow pointing upward, and a reverse button with a downwards arrow on it. She kept saying it sounds just like a train and moves like one too. But not even 2 minutes of her playing my Niece who is 3 started crying she just had to have the remote. She got her way & would not let go of the remote. She played with the train literally a hour & a 1/2!

Overall I am very pleased with this R/C Train by Elama! And so are my Nieces. Not only does it sound like a real train but it also has a light on the front of it which flashes red & green lights. And it kept the kids playing for awhile which gave me time to relax. Definitely a HUGE plus! I highly recommend this to anyone in the market looking to purchase something like this. It really gets kids to interact & it gets them to use their imagination. They will learn building skills, problem solving & critical thinking. Your probably wondering why? By children having to take the building blocks off and change them around but making sure that the gears can all touch and work simultaneously while the train moves forward and backwards. So many different combinations can be made!

My Review For Cinnamon Toothpicks Tooth Pix - 5 Count by CBR Adventures!!!

I Love These Toothpicks!!! They are loaded with strong Cinnamon flavor and you can smell the Cinnamon before even opening...

I love Cinnamon Toothpicks but these take the cake! Usually after eating at a restaurant they have the cinnamon toothpicks. I always end up grabbing a couple because I never knew where to buy them. Obviously I was looking in all the wrong places. Cinnamon is better for your breath unlike peppermint etc for me anyways. I don't know if its just me but when I eat food I have to pick at my teeth and really dislike the plain toothpicks or should I say the original toothpicks. Also I used to bite my nails and like to put a toothpick in my mouth to stop myself from wanting to bite my nails I know gross but just being honest. And trust me playing with a toothpick stopped me from biting and now I have long beautiful nails.

I just couldn't wait for these Cinnamon Toothpix to arrive! When they did arrive I was surprised because you could smell the cinnamon before even opening the tube/tubes. You do in fact get 5 tubes with 18 toothpicks in each. They smell just like the good old fashioned fire ball jawbreakers or big red gum. I opened up one of the tubes and pulled one out! I noticed these toothpicks are the good quality toothpicks. There stronger & not flimsy so when digging to get food out of your teeth they won't snap on you. Unless I am the only one who runs into those issues. There pointy on each end which is nice because you can get in between your teeth much easier. Now when I put it in my mouth I was very happy! It has a very nice cinnamon flavor and I played with it in my mouth for 25 minutes straight. And the flavor was still as strong as it was when I first put it in my mouth. It freshened my breath just like I thought it would.

The tubes that the toothpicks come in are quality made too. There a sturdy plastic with a cute label that says Hotlix Quality Cinnamon Toothpix. With a pair of red lips. Definitely a very unique label. And there twist tops meaning you have to unscrew the top to open the tube. So you don't have to worry about the top coming up and finding toothpicks all around the house. Overall I am very pleased with these Cinnamon Toothpix by CBR Adventures & I definitely recommend them to anyone in the market looking to purchase some cinnamon toothpicks that are in fact cinnamon!!

My Review For The Light Up Football 3 Pack Bundle - Space Pod Flashing Football by CBR Adventures!!!

These light up footballs are the perfect size not to big nor to small & are tons of fun to play with...

These light up footballs are much bigger than I expected. I thought they were going to be tiny but boy was I wrong. There 3 1/2 inches in diameter & 6 inches long. You get 3 light up footballs blue/green/purple!! The light up module is located at the end of each football in the inside of coarse.

There super easy to grip onto because of the ribbed surface! So small children can handle it with no problem or it falling out of there hands! My Niece which is 3 held it with no problems. I didn't have to worry about her putting it in her mouth or choking on anything. There like a rubbery plastic and its thick enough so you don't have to worry about small children trying to chew on it. When she seen the purple one light up she kept saying mine all mine.

You can play catch with them and they fly nicely! Meaning there not to light or to heavy. Be careful they do go pretty far if you throw them hard enough. There super nice at night we played with them in the pool! Having them flash and reflect off the water was really pretty. And we would put them in the water and the whole pool lit with color. Overall were very happy with these light up footballs by Universal Specialties!
