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.

Corset Chick Giveaway & Review



Though I can not wear them much right now I enjoy owning & wearing Corsets so I was very happy to find a company called Corset Chick. They offer the Largest variety of both regular and plus size corsets & offer crazy selection of hosiery, skirts, lingerie, clubwear, and much more to go with your corset order. Best of all the corsets are all at low prices most under $30 you can't beat a price like that!



For a recent review I was sent the Corset Top in Black/Royal Blue Burlesque, It arrived fast & in perfect condition. The corset is a 14 1/2" long closed front corset with a zipper on the side, and adjustable laces in the back for a proper fit. It has a mild sweetheart neckline with under wire cups for added support & has 12 light-weight bones through-out. I generally like front lacing corsets best because they are easier to tighten by yourself without requiring the help of a friend,loved one or family member but this is corset would be pretty easy to put on by yourself. I think the corset is well made and will last for quite some time to come the colors are gorgeous and true to the photos shown on the website. Corset Chick would be one of my first go to websites when looking for a new corset I like their selection,shipping speed & item quality. If I could get another item from their site I would choose one of the lovely Corset dresses they have from their Corset dress selection.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.

One lucky winner will receive their Corset of choice. [$30 or Under]

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. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.Products were Provided by Nurture-Elle for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****



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

Spray Blood Giveaway & Review



Having created a number of special effect Zombies for Halloween I am always looking for a way to make the process easier,Having my husband or friends sit still for an hour or so while I do makeup on top of spending half an hour to an hour making their outfits can be a pain. I was very happy to receive a chance to work with a company called Spray It New who offers a wide range of fabric & upholster paint, So why I am excited to have worked with them? They also have a Halloween themed site called Sprayblood.com that offers cans of spray blood,glow in the dark paint & glass skulls.



For a recent review I was sent a can of Spray Blood to use for my Halloween activities,We used this for my husbands two face costume & also planned to use it for the Zombie walk[Though lazy pregnant me decided last minute I didn't want to go]. The spray blood works nicely giving it a real splatter effect depending on how you want the clothing sprayed,This works perfect for Zombie clothing,murder victims & more. I enjoyed using this product and will be interested in buying something like this again next year,before I was just dipping my hands in the fake blood & splashing it onto the clothing which didn't always look as real as it could. I would be very interested in trying their spray Glow in the dark paint as well it would be great to use for Parties,crafts & more for any Holiday.I am aware Halloween was yesterday but this could always be kept for next year or used for Zombie activities! They also offer craft ideas on their facebook page for this product such as the Bleeding Heart shirt. ****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 Spray It New for the Review & Giveaway free of charge****

PRIZE ALERT:
One lucky reader will win a can of Spray Blood.

I am sorry but this giveaway is for US residents only due to the product.
