Shamrock Farms Cold Brew Review!

**This was a sponsored ad post provided by BSM Media & Shamrock Farms. My honest opinions were used, they are solely my own & they may vary from others.**

I don't drink coffee daily but I do like to drink it when I need an extra energy boost to help power me through my day or if I need help staying up for a late night. I generally don't like to drink hot coffee and prefer to drink iced coffee so when I was presented a chance to try out Shamrock Farms new Cold Brewed Coffee + Milk I couldn't wait to try it out. The information I was provided on the product is as follows: "Shamrock Farms Cold Brew Coffee and Milk is smoother and less acidic than regular coffee with a slightly sweet flavor and 2x the caffeine of regular coffee. Pure and fresh, and artificial hormone-free, Shamrock Farms milk is added to cold-brewed coffee, creating a deliciously smooth and slightly sweet beverage with natural caffeine perfect to power you through your day."



The Cold Brew can be found at Fry's Food Stores in the dairy isle, be sure to check near where they keep the regular small bottles of flavored milks as that is where my local Fry's store had them located which almost made me miss them. My store carried three flavors original, vanilla and mocha I picked vanilla and mocha for my husband and I to try out with breakfast.



I tested out the vanilla and my husband tried the mocha. I like that the bottles are easy to grab on the go and that the lids are resealable. I enjoyed the vanilla but had to add a bit more creamer to mine because it was a bit too strong for me but it was perfect for my husband who has always preferred more of an actual coffee taste vs a sweet taste like I do. Each bottle had just the right amount of coffee and the mocha had a coco taste to it which was nice.

At Home Christmas Decor Reivew!

The holiday season has arrived and with Thanksgiving just a few days away it means it is almost time to start decorating for Christmas if you haven't already. Decorating for the holidays is always so much fun because there are so many cute and fun decorations out there that fit everyone's styles, budgets and likes. At Home carries dozens of Christmas decorations for outside your home and inside your home and with prices starting at $1.99 and up it should be a stop during your holiday shopping this year.

I was recently sent a gift card to go pick up a few Christmas decoration items to decorate one area of my home, I decided on the pathway that leads up to my home but I also picked up a little something for my kids/guest bathroom. I have incorporated what I bought from At Home along with the existing decorations I already had and I am pretty happy with everything!



The first thing I picked up was a Pinecone wreath with ornaments that is 22", they are normally $19.99 but they are currently on sale for $9.99 and I do not have a wreath so it was perfect timing. The wreath I had last year was real so it had to be tossed out at the end of the holiday season but I kept the battery powered Christmas lights that were on it and added it to my new wreath as you can see above. Next while we were walking down the isles we spotted some fake snow in a can, I remember my mom getting this same kind of snow when I was a kid and we always had so much fun spraying it on the windows, the tree and more so I wanted to pick some up to use for my home as well. We used it to make the windows look like they are frosted and used it to spray a bit rock in our yard to look like it is an ice berg. We bought a single can for now for $4.99 to see how much was in it and we received a pretty decent amount of snow from it. I also spotted a small blue Christmas tree that I picked up to decorate my bathroom with, it was only $2.99 and it is my favorite color so I couldn't say no even though my husband looked at me like I was silly.



Now onto the big things! At Home has a decent sized collection of yard inflatables and they start out at very affordable prices many are just $19.99 each and are adorable plus big enough you can see them from the street. We picked up a 44in inflatable Polar bear sitting down on his butt, and a 4 foot inflatable snowman with Santa hat & twig arms both of which are the $19.99 inflatables. We also added the snoopy we already have out with them for a fun little inflatable section of the yard.

                              

My camera didn't like all the lights being on so the photo is a little blurry but I think everything looks pretty cute together! You can also see our pathway markers, we picked up two sets of their 30 in Candy Cane pathway markers that come in a set of four for $9.99. We placed them each a even length apart then we took some tinsel and strung it between each candy cane to make a lined path up to our porch, there are also solar paneled lights next to each candy cane to help add a little extra lighting. In all we spent about $76 on everything (we bought a bag of popcorn too), and we used the 10% off coupon you can get for signing up for their newsletter. Many of these products will be on sale during Black Friday so be sure to check out their flyer because they are having some really good deals.

Find deals & savings with Groupon!

****This is a paid post for Groupon, I was asked to select a vendor I personally enjoy shopping with to feature.My honest opinion was used, those opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.****

Just like having kids, pets can get pretty expensive as well between food, toys, vet bills, bedding and more the costs really add up so it is nice to save a few dollars where ever you can. Groupon is a great way to find deals and promotions from some of your favorite stores that you may not be aware are available and you are able to find and access them for free on Groupon.

The store I selected for this promo post is Petco and the Groupon page for them can be found by clicking Here. I don't subscribe to the Petco newsletter so I don't usually know what sales they are having instead I usually go to the pet store closest to my house unless I know there is a good deal. Thankfully since I checked out the Groupon link for this promo I spotted that they are having a 25% off sale on all Ferret supplies which is perfect because my ferrets are almost out of food and litter so this would be a great time to stock up.

 

Along with finding great deals that your local brands are offering you can also purchase coupons and offers, the other day I purchased a $10 Dunkin Donuts gift card through Groupon for only $5. Since my fiance and I drink coffee often I thought it was a pretty good deal. Head on over to Groupon and see what deals are in store for you!
