Flatten Me Giveaway & Review

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Flatten Me for the Review free of charge****



Growing up with a unique name I was always bummed out when I went to the "Name plate" section & knew I would never find my name, times have changed & you can get almost anything personalized now. Since my kids have unique names as well I enjoy getting them custom products with their names on them, so when I was offered a change to work with a company called Flatten Me on a review & giveaway I said yes right away.



For my review I received their "OWL Always Love You" hard cover book which can be customized with your child's name & a dedication page. Here is a little bit of information about the book from the Flatten Me website "Unlike traditional bedtime tales, the Owl Always Love You personalized storybook makes your child the star of the story by repeating his name in the narrative. Your little one will be drawn in by the beautiful illustrations of fuzzy (and sometimes silly) owls settling down for a good night’s sleep, and he/she will love the ethereal images of soaring kites and starlit skies."



I personally love this book the illustrations are simply beautiful they are whimsical yet life like at the same time, each page features an adorable fuzzy owl that goes with the theme for that page. My favorite page from the book says "Owl Always Love you "K" like the sun loves the moon. Owl Always Love you like a song loves a tune." I had a fun time reading this to my son and will continue to read it to him at bedtime, He is a bit young to fully understand the book aside from looking at pretty pictures but I know he will enjoy this book more as he gets older. Flatten Me also offers books that can be customized with photos, T-shirts, Wall art, Cards & Water bottles. The "OWL Always love you" book is $29.95 for paperback or $39.95 for hardcover plus S/H, I think these books would make great Birthday,Christmas or anytime gifts for the people you love most. If you would like to purchase a product from their website you can use the code "Owl_fall15" for 15% OFF your purchase,this code is good until October 15th,2013.




PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky Burning Moon reader will win a copy of "OWL Always Love You", This giveaway is open to US & Canadian Residents only. The winner will need to pay S&H but the book is provided for free [Hard cover].

Orange Glad Review

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by OrangeGlad for the Review free of charge****



To this day I haven't meet a person that doesn't enjoy one type of treat or another, although I must admit sometimes chocolate chip cookies get boring after a while I enjoy a good dessert after dinner. I recently found out about a subscription company called Orange Glad who sends out a monthly box stuffed full of sweet treats. I recently received their September box & was excited to get it opened up.




Once I opened the box I came face to face with an ice pack which told me right away chocolate was involved, With the heat we have been having in Arizona I didn't want to risk a mess so I stored the box in the Freezer for an hour before I let anyone try anything. In the box we found the following products: Chocolate-Dipped Macadamia shortbread,Two Designer Chai & Almond spice Cookies,Almond Nougar,A Oreo Cookie cake push pop & a Lemon sugar cookie. My personal favorite were the Almond Nougar treats, I love almonds but have never tried them in this unique form before the whole thing was rich in flavor & chewy yet crunchy at the same time which is something I enjoy. My second favorite was the Oreo cookie cake push pop, This was also a unique experience the cake was in an almost syringe style container that was heart shaped. The cake push pop was fun to eat & brought back memories of eating push Popsicle, I liked that the cake pop had an assortment of different layers each with their own flavor. There was enough cake in the cake pop for two people to enjoy or have as a treat for yourself. My fiance likes the Lemon Sugar cookie as it was a nice blend between a sugar cookie and a lemon bar which we have been enjoying the flavor of lately. The kids also enjoyed the treats that came in this box as they had some of the Chocolate-Dipped Macadamia shortbread & Designer Chai & Almond spice Cookies. In our house we give Orange Glad gets a high score on the like scale.

        

The OrangeGlad sweet box is priced at $15 a month plus S/H, Do I think the cost is worth it? Based off of the amount of products included and the quality of the products I would say yes, I found new treat favorites and would be interested in subscribing to this package because you never know what treats could be headed your way next. Triple chocolate Brownies,cheesecake overload, peanut butter cups with M&M's? You won't know until that box is on your door step waiting to be devoured. Want to find out more about their company?

Healthy Surprise Box Review

 ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Healthy Surprise for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****

I have been on a search for healthy snacks to eat while I am at work, I am usually short on time so I can't spend a lot of time in the grocery isle checking out all the products they offer so when I received a chance to work with Healthy Surprise on a review & giveaway I couldn't refuse. I recently received a "Starter" size box to review, it may be a "starter" box but don't let the name fool you there is quite a bit packed into this little box.




Some of the products I received included an assortment of health bars,sea salt Pumpkin seeds,A brownie, A Cranberry & almond mix,Peach fruit strips & more. A starter box provides 11+ full size snacks which average out to 16-20 servings which is enough to feed 1-2 people per box. Each month the Healthy surprise box will ship out on the same day & should arrive to your home on the same day every month,Delivery usually takes 1-3 business days in the US & the starter box costs $33. I found that most of the snacks were quite delicious I love pumpkin seeds so I was very excited to find those in my box,I am also a big fan of both cashews and dried cranberries so those were lovely finds as well. The two items we didn't like because they aren't something we would normally buy for ourselves were the Sea weed dried treats & the veggie chips they were nice to have included though to give us a chance to try something new which is what this experience is all about. I also enjoy the fact that it gives you a fact sheet letting you know about each item & what they contain for those with peanut or other food allergies. If I were to subscribe to a food box this would be on my list of boxes to purchase. Aside from the starter box they also offer a "Healthy box" which includes 16+ full size snacks & a Large box which includes 27+ full size snacks. What is something you would want to be in YOUR healthy surprise box?




PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky winner will recieve a Starter Healthy surprise box of their own to try out.
