Cavallieri Men's Tie Review

 












Bows 'N Ties offers 100% genuine silk ties for half the cost they would be purchased for elsewhere! These ties come in a variety of colors and designs.This company imports their ties directly and there is no "monkey in the middle". These ties are only available on their site.

I received a beautiful silk Cavallieri tie that Bows 'N Ties sells for $24.90, while other stores charge $50 for the same tie. My husband and I liked the texture of the tie but we did not care for the pattern. It was a little too "busy" for my husbands taste and it didn't go well with any of his dress clothes. He told me if it had been blue then he would've liked it.

The tie is very soft and durable, the material is obviously high quality.

 When I checked out the site, I did find several of the Cavallieri tie designs that both my husband and I did like and he would happily wear. We just did not care for this particular design.

I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.

Pretzel Crisps Deli Style Review

My family and I were recently given the delicious opportunity to sample the entire Deli Style line of Pretzel Crisps®. Pretzel Crisps® are a fantastic alternative to potato chips, popcorn, corn nuts, and other snack foods. Pretzel Crisps® only contain a mere 110 calories per serving and zero fat (10-11 crisps per serving) compared with 150 calories and 10 gram of fat (1 g saturated) per one ounce serving for regular potato chips. Pretzel Crisps® help keep your heart healthy and your calories low!

For those with special medical needs, such as diabetes and/or high cholesterol, Pretzel Crisps® do not contain any trans or saturated fats. Pretzel Crisps® only contain 21-23 grams of carbohydrate per serving (1 ½ carbohydrate exchanges). People with diabetes can easily fit Pretzel Crisps® in a carbohydrate meal plan as a snack or with meals and not raise their blood glucose levels dramatically. Pretzel Crisps® also do not contain any saturated and trans fat, so they a excellent choice for those following a diet to reduce their cholesterol and manage their heart health.

Pretzel Crisps® come in a very compact package that can easily fit in a backpack, lunchbox, glove compartment, locker, etc. Pretzel Crisps® come in a wide variety of very good tasting flavors! They are low calorie and fat free snacks that satisfy a persons salty snack craving! Pretzel Crisps® can be used in a wide variety of ways! You can eat them alone, as a salad topper, on your favorite yogurt, and more!

The first flavor my family and I tried was the Original. These tasted like thin and crispy pretzels. We ended up dipping them in some low fat nacho cheese. They made a delicious snack that the whole family enjoyed.

The second flavor we tried was called Everything. These were so good! I didn't want to share! They're a mixture of  poppy seeds, sesame seeds, onions and garlic, with a touch of salt. Pretzel Crisps® are baked not fried, so they're super crunchy. We ended up breaking these into small pieces and using the crisps as a salad topping. Yum!

The third bag received was Garlic Parmesan.  My two weaknesses! I actually hid this in my secret snack corner because I didn't want to share. I dipped these in tomato sauce and sprinkled some mozzarella cheese on top. It was like having a mini crispy pizza!


The Buffalo Wing flavored bag actually tasted like buffalo wings! My husband kept placed pieces of chicken and bit of nacho cheese on each piece and eating them. He claimed it was delicious. I eventually caved and tried his "creation" and had to agree it was quite good. This flavor does pack a bit of a kick though and I do suggest having a beverage nearby.

The next bag was Chipolte Cheddar. These tasted like a mixture of spicy BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese. These were so good the whole family devoured them by themselves! There was no time to add anything! These also had a bit of a kick. So again keep water handy!

Last but certainly not least was Jalapeno Jack!!!! These were very spicy but we dipped them in guacamole to cool them down a bit. I definitely suggest having water right next to you after having these. They were the family favorite though.

The family and I agree that we all had a blast trying all the Deli Style line flavors of Pretzel Crisps®! There wasn't a single flavor that we didn't thoroughly enjoy! Pretzel Crisps® are sold at a very large variety of retailers, as well as online. The list of retailers can be found by going to  http://pretzelcrisps.com/shop-landing/  Pretzel Crisps® also has a Facebook page that if definitely worth checking out! This is definitely a snack you'll be happy you tried and you won't be able to get enough of!

Batman Toddler Costume Review

Halloween is coming up and people are searching for the cutest, best, hottest costumes for the lowest prices. Well look no farther folks than http://www.buycostumes.com Their affordable, with a wide selection, and tons of opportunities to save money with promo codes. Buy Costumes ships their products very quickly and they arrive well packaged. The cost ends up being substantially less than what a person would pay at a retail store.

This year for Halloween I plan on dressing up as Catwoman, hubby as the Joker, and Chase as the hero Batman aka Dark Knight. On Buy Costume, my costume costs between $36.99 and $199.99 because there are eight different Catwoman costumes to choose from. My husbands Joker costume costs between $39.99 and $139.47 because there are seven different Joker costumes to choose from. My son, Chase, Dark Knight costume costs between $19.99 and $34.99 because there are five different costumes to choose from.

I chose to try the Batman The Dark Knight Rises Toddler Costume (available for $19.99 online). The costume fit my 8 month old just right. It says 2T-4T but I would say that it fits in between size 2T and 3T. My son is tall; so it fit him despite that he's not a toddler yet. The material is nice and thick, so I know he will stay warm. The outfit is a one piece and Velcros at the top in the back, so you have to place your baby into the costume. The cape and mask are attached together as a separate piece, the cape Velcros at the edge so that it can be velcroed and placed around your child's neck. The mask fit really big, it might fit my son if he was four or five, but I put it on him for photographic purposes. He hated the mask though and screamed until I removed it. The material of the whole costume is incredibly soft and I can only imagine feels very warm and snuggly.

  
All in all I would give the costume a four out of five stars, only because I wish it was a shirt, the pants, and the cape attached to the mask. It's not a easy task to try to get my son into a one piece sweatsuit that he has to step into and I have to pull onto his arms and legs. I also wish it snapped or zipped in the back rather than Velcro.  On the bright side, it's a adorable costume and my son is going to do Bruce Wayne proud this Halloween as the Dark Knight!!!

For Two Days only!: Save 15% on costumes and decorations (use promo code: Spooky15)

Free Shipping: If you spend $49 or more! (use promo code: ship49)

Also if you sign up for Buy Costume email you will be emailed a coupon for 15% off!

Headline T-Shirt Review

Are you looking for a hilarious t-shirt that shows off your sarcastic side? Than look no further than http://www.headlineshirts.net/   Headline T-Shirts carries shirts for Men, Women, and kids.  Their t-shirts are all hilarious and incredibly smart allic! I love how soft the material is and how stretchy. I did read on the tag though that the material shrinks very easy and to never dry the shirt and always wash on cold. Which is fine by me because I wash all my clothes that way. I normally wear a women's extra large but the design I wanted was all out of x-large's, so I settled for a large. It fit! Which is awesome!




The top I chose depicts the boarding of the animals two by two onto the biblical Noah's Ark, with a huge dinosaur in the back, and Noah going damn. I couldn't resist! It just made me laugh instantly. So that's how dinosaurs went extinct! just kidding.

I love that the neck is a scoop neck, which makes it very distinctly feminine, without being scandalous. I no longer wear low necklines due to my infant son. So this shirt was just right! The material is not too thick and not too thin, it's just right, and very durable. I took a photo of it hanging on my door, and some photos of me wearing the top. I feel it gives readers a better idea of the fit of the top. Do remember though that I am 5'9 and shirts tend to run shorter on me than on others.

Headline T-shirts guarantees that the buyer is satisfied! If you are unhappy with the shirt, or it's too small, or too big, send it back for the correct size or email your complaint! They are a very customer service oriented company and will try to solve your issues or concerns to the very best of their abilities. Headline T-shirts are considered to be what is called a Vintageblend shirt, made in San Francisco, CA. These shirts are hand-sewn and constructed of a blend of polyester and cotton. Headline T-shirts is an environmentally friendly company and uses only eco-friendly inks and materials. They even ship the purchasers shirt in a compostible bag! So what are you waiting for go check them out today! Their shirts are very affordable and very appealing in design and material. What more could one ask for?

Be on the lookout for my Headline T-shirt Giveaway following this review!!!

Tom's of Maine Simply White Fluoride Toothpaste Review



When I hear the brand Tom's of Maine three words come to mind; natural, healthy, and reputation. This is the toothpaste that my parents used growing up and that my sister and I used as well. We've used the deodorants as well. Tom's of Maine has a great, long standing reputation and I couldn't be more thrilled to be reviewing one of their products. I have sensitive gums and I always "forget" to floss, to the point that my dentist has instructed me to use only fluoride toothpastes and mouthwashes. I was very excited to see a toothpaste that won't damage my teeth or increase sensitivity, whitens my teeth, provides cavity protection, and is a fluoride toothpaste. It was literally a dream come true!



When this arrived in the mail, as silly as it may seem, I could not wait to brush my teeth! Previous Natural toothpastes tasted gritty and bland but this toothpaste was smooth with a just right taste and no bad aftertaste. I had fresh breath and teeth that felt and looked polished, shiny, and new! The best part is that Tom's of Maine is good for teeth! Their toothpastes contain no artificial or synthetic ingredients or harsh abrasives. Simply White uses a combination of three abrasive free, cleaning silicas and when they are all used together, surface stains on teeth are gently and naturally whitened. Simply White also doesn't contain any parabens, poloxamer, or gluten. So I feel safe and at ease brushing my teeth, rather than worry what exactly is going in my mouth.



 I received a sample of Clean Mint which tasted like a not too mild but not too strong , and great fresh breath after brushing, Peppermint. I loved it! Simply White also comes in the flavor Sweet Mint, which I am intent on trying next. This toothpaste retails for the low price of $4.99 for a 4.7 oz tube and can be found at most retail stores, as well as online at: www.tomsofmainestore.com. Best of all if you are looking for a specific product you can just call the customer service number ( 1-800-FOR-TOMS (367 8667) and Toms of Maine will try their hardest to find a store nearby that carries that product! If you shop online at Toms of Maine Store website, free ground shipping is provided for orders of $30 or more. Be healthy, be clean, and shop Toms of Maine!
