Talenti Gelato Reivew



After dinner is generally when the sweet tooth's start talking, Everyone has their own preference when it comes to desserts and sweets I personally love Talenti Gelato I prefer it over Ice cream & other sweet treats. Talenti began as a gelateria in 2003 and has since grown into the best-selling gelato in the US. Talenti offers a unique experience, using only the finest natural and raw ingredients, carefully sourced locally and from around the world—Belgian Chocolate, fresh whole Tahitian vanilla beans from Papua New Guinea, select coconuts from the Philippines, and real Argentine dulce de leche are just a few of the many fine ingredients used to create Talenti gelatos and sorbettos.



I recently had a chance to try three of their flavors I decided upon the following three: Mediterranean Mint,Caramel Cookie Crunch & Double Dark Chocolate. In the photo above you can see the Mediterranean Mint & Caramel Cookie Crunch along with some extra goodies I threw on because of pregnant cravings. The Gelato is very smooth & comes out of the container very easily with a lot of ice creams you have to use a scoop or wait until it defrosts a little before you can properly get it out of the container but you never have to worry about that with this Gelato.The Mediterranean Mint is the perfect combination of chocolate chips and mint flavor it has a very smooth taste just a little bit of it and your sweet tooth will be very happy.I enjoy the Caramel Cookie Crunch but wouldn't say that it is my favorite from the brand but it is very tasty and sweet with a very even taste between the flavors. I am not a huge fan of dark chocolate but my husband loves it so I picked out the Double Dark Chocolate for him much to my surprise it is quite tasty it doesn't have the harsh coco taste I have noticed in other dark chocolate products.  The Gelato is very sweet & rich I could honestly eat one of the jars by myself in one sitting,But I am sure my waist wouldn't be too happy with that a positive is that Gelato is a much healthier choice than Ice cream & tastes better the only thing I can think of that I would like to see changed is for them to offer bigger sizes of the product the containers they offer now are great for small families but if you have a larger family or are planning an event like a birthday party you will need more than one. Head over to the Talenti website to see if a store near you carries their brand other wise you are truly missing out on something amazing. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Nurture-Elle Giveaway & Reivew





Now that I am further along in my pregnancy [Due in Feb] my belly has gotten quite a bit bigger than it did when I had my daughter which has made most of my shirts "shrink" the bottom of my baby belly starts to pop out the bottom so I knew it was time to look for some new shirts. I received the chance to work with a wonderful company called Nurture-Elle on a review & giveaway.



For a recent review I was sent a Pleated Long Sleeve Top in Black, I have to say I absolutely love this shirt it is my favorite Maternity shirt I have ever worn I like it a lot better than most of my normal every day shirts as well. The shirt has a silky feel to it & just feels great to wear the shirt is long enough that I can pull it down to just passed my butt & it stays in place because it has a stretchy spandex bottom that keeps the shirt in place. This is a breast feeding shirt & gives you easy access to feed your child,the only issue I have had is depending on how I lay down or sit on the cough I have an issue with my chest showing through the shirt because the opening comes open but I have a plan to fix this with a little bit of Velcro. The shirt has a retail price of $49 which is more than I would pay for a maternity/breast feeding shirt but having tested out this product I think it is worth the price because it is comfortable,fits well & looks great I have been wearing this shirt almost every night it is very comfy to sleep in. Nurture-Elle has a great shipping speed,friendly customer service, & great products along with an easy to navigate website I have enjoyed working with this company. ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

One lucky winner will receive a $25 Gift Card to Nurture-Elle

Mamas & Papas Review



Even though I just had my daughter less than four years ago there are plenty of new baby items that have hit the market since including the Lotty Light & Sound Playmat & Gym from Mamas & Papas.



I was recently given the chance to review the Lotty Light & Sound playmat from Mamas & Papas, It arrived in a speedy amount of time and was packaged perfectly the playmat is quite adorable. What features does the Lotty Mat offer? Let me share some of the wonderful things this playmat offers, It has Twenty development features help to progress a child’s developmental skills,Encourage key senses such as sight, touch and sound with the squeakers, fun textures and crinkly areas & Activate lights and sound function to help stimulate the senses and keep baby entertained. This play mat is very soft and plushy perfect for small babies to lay on while playing,Everything is brightly colored and eye catching the music plays at just the right volume so that it doesn't scare your baby. I know my son will enjoy using this once we welcome him into this world! Just have a little bit longer to wait,This mat will be perfect for when he is doing tummy time or just wants to lay on his back watching the colorful characters hanging above him. Based on the size of this mat I would say it is great for ages 0m to 18 months. Some of the features I enjoy include that it has four removable toys which have rattles, squeakers and a teething ring to entertain your baby and Gym arches can be removed as baby grows, or to have Tummy/Quiet Time.




Mamas & Papas also offers Strollers,Toys,High chairs & more all at very reasonable prices.Mamas & Papas is a brand built on a passion for style, quality and innovation. The business was founded in 1981 by one of the UK's first female entrepreneurs, Luisa Scacchetti, who has redefined the modern approach to parenting, whilst also inspiring a new generation of mothers to realize their own ideas and bring them to market. I have enjoyed working with Mama & Papas they offer a wide selection of baby and toddler products,they have fair prices and fast shipping along with very friendly customer service which always leads to a pleasant shopping experience. The Lotty Light & Sound playmat retails for $99.99 they also offer a matching rocker! ****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

Leading Lady Review

The last two to three weeks have been crazy & hectic for my family we have been hunting for a Vehicle that fits out needs,my fiance is still job hunting,work has been crazy & there just hasn't been enough hours in the day so needless to say as you can tell I fell a bit behind on blog work but Family comes first. Now it is time to get back down to business & get some things updated and posts so get ready for some fun giveaways and reviews.



I want to introduce you to a company called Leading Lady who sells very comfortable Nursing bras,at this time I am not pregnant but I do have a large chest so I find Maternity bras comfortable to wear. For my recent review I was sent a Molded Padded Seamless Underwire Full Figure Bra in black some of the features include: Molded seamless style looks great under clothing,Lightly padded cups,Adjustable straps for comfort,Underwire for added breast support and it is Latex free. The Molded Padded Seamless Underwire Full Figure Bra is available in Ten different colors & an assortment of bra sizes. I found this bra to be comfortable & supportive a big plus is that it doesn't bug or irritate my skin from things such as an annoying tag,seams,wire poking out,ect this fits & sits nicely.



The price is also great for a bra such as this it is $38 keep in mind they have a range of prices plus special sales so many of the bras they offer are in an affordable range. Having looked through their Bra selection I think they offer a great variety of styles,sizes,colors & designs there is a bra for everyone on this site & they aren't just for nursing women anyone can buy & wear these comfortable bras. The shipping was fast,customer service is friendly & fast when they reply I had a great experience working with them.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.
