New Bloom B-Boost Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin Sublingual Liquid Drops 3000mcg Review

I was sent a B12 liquid vitamin for review. I eat a well-balanced diet of fruit and vegetables, as well as fish, chicken and red meat. With three young kids in the house, we always have cereal on hand and the cereal we have is low sugar (4 grams or less) and fortified with vitamins and minerals, as well as whole grains. I take prenatal vitamins (out of habit from years of either being pregnant or breastfeeding) and so I already get a good amount of nutritional supplements. However, I do not mind getting a little boost now and then when it comes to my health and energy. I need a clear and alert head with the high energy that runs through this household. :) I am severely lacking in the sleep department. I am hoping that this might help some.

Vitamin B12 helps the brain, nerves, and blood cells function smoothly. I am taking this for my nervous system health, in hopes to assist with my continuous pregnancy brain that I still have, although my youngest is already 2 1/2. :) Vitamin B12 can potentially assist with cognitive and memory function. This is easy to take. I use 1 ML from the dropper and put it under my tongue once daily. It is a sweet flavor. The bottle says it is natural raspberry, however, it tastes more like a natural sweetener or a passionfruit tea or something. It is not tart at all. I would have liked it to have been less sweet. 

This is vegan-friendly and contains NO artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

Ingredients

Vitamin B12 (as methylcobalamin), Vegetable Glycerin, Steam Distilled Water, Natural Raspberry Flavor

Directions

Shake well. Adults take 1 ml under the tongue once daily, or as directed by a health care professional.

I have not noticed a big difference yet, however, I have been severely fatigued latetly in the past 2 weeks as I am getting over a bad chest cold and cough. Two of my children have had the sickness as well, so I have not rested like I should. :)

This was sent to me for my honest opinion. I was not paid for this review. Check this product out on Amazon!

MatchaDNA Certified Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder (1 LB TIN CAN) Review

I was recently sent some tea for review. The brand is MatchaDNA. I love that this matcha powder is in a can. All my other matcha tea powders have come in resealable bags. The bags had a flat bottom, however, they still would fall over and were difficult to store neatly. This can makes it so much easier, and I am less likely to spill it all over my counter. I also love that this is a generous 16 ounces!

I use matcha in my smoothies. I love the balanced, natural energy without jitters. I love the fresh and crisp green tea flavor. Tea is always a healthier option, but matcha tea is even more wonderful. It is packed full of all sorts of fantastic things our bodies need. Matcha tea has antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and EGCG's. The company lists that each batch of MatchaDNA is tested by third-party labs to ensure purity and safety. The can has directions for hot matcha. I have enjoyed hot matcha in the past, however, I always prefer a frothy frozen drink. I enjoy my matcha in a blender with ice, milk, some real whipped cream, pure vanilla extract, and sometimes I add a little xylitol (made from pure birch/made in USA). I am very particular about the brand of xylitol I use. You can use honey or sugar if you prefer.

This matcha powder is very high quality and fresh. It has a nice bright green color. It smells fresh and I enjoy it. I hope to make some matcha ice cream in my Vitamix soon. I recommend this matcha.

Directions for hot matcha (from the can):

mix 1/2 teaspoon matcha powder with 8 to 12 oz of hot water. Whisk until all mixed. Enjoy Add warm milk and a sweetener of your choice to make a delicious matcha latte. Matcha tea powder can also be mixed in with smoothies or used in baking.

This was sent to me for review from MatchaDNA. This is my honest opinion and I was not compensated for this review other than a complimentary product to sample and review.

MEIGO 32PCS Dominoes Shape Puzzle Review

I was sent this amazing and educational wooden toy for review. It is by Meigo on Amazon. All 3 of my children (ages 2 to 7) love it. It is similar to dominos. We like toys that are simple, classic and do not light up or play sounds. We like them to use their imagination and make their own play noises. I am happy to report that my daughter is 7 1/2 and does not play video games or on the computer. We limit their TV screen time to an hour or less per day and for that hour, the program is a children's educational public television show or something with values or learning. On the weekends they get to watch a kids movie but we still make sure it is low cartoon in violence and has good values. :)

When I opened the box, I could tell these were of nice quality. There was no chipping paint and no chemical fumes. The wood is smooth to the touch and I feel confident in having my 2 year old toddler (and my other children) play with these. They are non-toxic, BPA Free, Lead-Free, and Phthalate-Free. I love that they are made from durable beech wood. We have other toys made from beech wood and love those as well. These are fantastic educational blocks. I highly recommend them and think they would be an excellent Christmas gift! The price is great. They are less than $20.

The graphics are bright and colorful. The objects, people, and animals are adorable. This is a multi-use toy. These were sent to me complimentary for the purpose of my honest review. I was not compensated/paid for this post.

Big Ant Australian Wool Sheepskin Seat Cover Review

I have several genuine sheepskin and lambskin vintage hats, scarves and 2 pairs of fur lined boots. I love the warmth and the comfort of the fur. I like Australian sheepskin as it is very luxurious. I was given the opportunity to review a sheepskin car seat cover or chair cover for my honest opinion. The one I was sent is sold on Amazon from Big Ant. To be honest, although this brand had high ratings, I was not 100% certain the cover was real when it first arrived in the package. The plastic bag that the cover arrived in had a strong and unpleasant chemical plastic odor and I was disappointed. The packaging looked unappealing and I set the entire thing aside for a week without opening it. I then decided to open it and check it out. I needed about a day to air out the fur cover. After it fully aired out, and I threw away the unappealing plastic zippered bag, I began to see and feel the quality of the fur cover. I did not notice any shedding of fur or continued chemical odor.

I put it on our vintage wooded livingroom chair that sits in front of our computer. Our chair is old and the paint is chipping and I wanted to spruce it up with the lush black fur. I was able to figure out how to clip it so that it stayed and found it to be comfortable. After two weeks of use on the living room chair, I have not noticed any shedding. I do notice that the seat part of the fur is slowly becoming matted down in some areas, however, that is due to my 4-year-old and 7-year-old children constantly rolling around on it and not being the most gentle. I do not see any bare spots. I think I might attempt to lightly brush it with a wire hair comb or something for fur. I am rather pleased with this cover. My only complaints are the cheap packaging that makes it smell (for a day or two).

I would have preferred this to have been white, cream, or a two-toned beige and brownish shade, however, I am happy with it. The black does show the occasional stray white lint every now and then. This is padded on the seat cushion part which helps our hard wooden chair. From what I can tell, it is genuine sheepskin. It feels like the same fur that I have on my Australian sheepskin boots and winter accessories.

This was sent to me for review and this was my honest opinion. I was not provided payment for my review.

Vanilla Oleoresin Essential Oil - 100% Pure Therapeutic Grade (Review of Gya Labs Vanilla Essential Oil)

This vanilla oleoresin essential oil was sent to me for review.  It is by Gya Labs. I mix this with my argan oil and use it in my hair and on my skin. This has a lighter and sweeter, woodier fragrance than I am used to but it still is nice. I love wearing vanilla as it puts me in a great mood and is such a sensual fragrance. It is really nice for Fall and Winter.

Fleur D Extase Matcha Scrub with Dead Sea Salts Review

This matcha tea shower and bath scrub was sent to me for review. I like it and use it once per week. I do not need a lot per use as I can put some in the palm of my hand and rub over several areas with the same crystals. You can use it more frequently if you need or want to. I often use it on my legs before shaving (do not use immediately after or you may have irritation). I also like using this on my heels, ankles, and all over my feet. It makes my arms and shoulders smooth and silky. I have not tried it on my face, however, this seems like it would be safe for my face as well. I will likely try it on my face next time I use it. I am fond of using microdermabrasion crystals on my face and this sea salt scrub functions in a similar way. Please take caution if your skin is overly sensitive or you have open areas from acne or if you are a guy and shave your face. This softens my skin and the oils are light and not heavy. This smells mainly of Jasmine and does not have much of a matcha tea fragrance. I would have liked it to have smelled more like tea as well. The scent is lovely for Fall and Winter.

The ingredients are great and the 12 oz size should last me for a few months. I recommend this product!

Atomic Matcha (Organic Matcha Ceremonial Green Tea Powder) Review

I was sent a packet of Atomic Matcha from Matcha House. This is a ceremonial grade and I have been using it nearly every day for the past few weeks. I have a spoiler alert. I love it.

Ingredients:
100% Organic Ceremonial Matcha Green Tea Powder

Directions: (from the manufacturer)
Sift 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of Matcha into a bowl or cup then add 3oz of hot water (not boiling, best around 175 degrees F). Mix with a bamboo whisk or milk frother until smooth froth forms on top. Add more hot water to taste. Mix into smoothies, lattes, baked goods, and other recipes for a healthy, delicious boost. Enjoy two servings a day (about a teaspoon total) for maximum benefits.

My loosely measured and often variable recipe:

I like to use as much as 1 tablespoon of matcha (more than suggested above) in my Vitamix blender with several ice cubes (probably 8-10), and 6-8 oz whole or 2% milk, several generous sprays of "extra creamy" real whipped cream, 1 capful of non-alcohol REAL vanilla extract or some real vanilla bean powder. Sometimes I will add a sweetener of choice such as some birch xylitol or real sugar. I blend on high until everything is smooth and frothy. I like to top with a little extra helping of whipped cream. Please note, this is not low fat! LOL. I only make it this way once or twice a week. I will frequently make it with just the ice, matcha, vanilla extract, and milk and leave out the whipped cream and sugar. You can modify this by using skim milk, coconut milk, almond milk, etc. There are so many options for sweeteners as well.

I really like this brand and it is very fresh. I am picky on matcha and always prefer ceremonial grade when possible. I will still use culinary grade if that is what I have. I am picky on brands as well. The important thing is having a matcha that smells, looks, and tastes fresh.

I love matcha for the balanced energy and for the healthy antioxidants. Matcha tea gives me mental clarity. I wrok at home, late at night and then get up at 6 AM to get my daughter ready for school and on the school bus. My four year old and 2 year old are generally already up or get up soon after. I find that matcha wakes me up and does not irritate my stomach like coffee has in the past. I used to be an avid coffee drinker, but a few years ago, it would make me have acid reflux and so I drink it only once a week or less. Drinking fresh matcha is full of Vitamin B and C, iron, calcium, and amino acids. Tea is always a healthy option but matcha is even more wonderful for our bodies.




This was sent to me for review, however, this is my honest opinion of this brand and I was not compensated other than a free sample packet.

Zubels Cotton Knit Football Player Orange & White Review

I was sent a Zubel toy for my honest review. I have wanted to try out this company for a while and was thrilled to review one of their items. They have all sorts of cute creatures and friends. They have items for both girls and boys whether artistic, sporty, animals lover, princess, etc. I would recommend these even for adults as they have so many themes on their website from gnomes to pirates to princesses! They even have clothing! The items are nice quality and adorable.  The items have an heirloom, timeless appearance that would be the perfect gift for a new baby, birthday, Christmas, or Easter. Do you love gnomes, mermaids,  or frogs? Their knitted toy items would be great as a cute, quirky item to put next to your computer desk at work or keep in your teen's locker at school. They even have cute knitted keychains!! These knitted keychains would be cute as teacher/bus driver gifts. Choose a special keychain, tuck it into a fun coffee mug with a $10-15 gift card and your child will brighten their teacher's week!

I was told that a bunny ballerina doll (Betsie) would be sent (I was able to choose my favorite to do a review), however, the bunny was not sent and I could not get a reply back as to a status after a few attempts. My daughter's nickname has always been "Bunny" and she loves ballerinas, the color pink, and tutus. 

I was sent a 12-inch orange and white uniform football player. I must be honest, this guy is not my first choice. It is not for any other reason than the fact that we do not do sports or watch sports. No one in our home has ever worn a sports team shirt or item. I never grew up in a sport loving household. He is out of place here at our house, however, I will find him a friend very soon. He will be loved and cherished. Sports aside, this is a well made and cuddy stuffy. He is soft and will not scratch faces or skin. There are no buttons to lose. Although I love the look of button eyes, they always make me nervous around little ones due to the hazard of choking.

The quality of the stitching is excellent on this Zubel. The seams are neat and there are no bumpy or raised seams that might be uncomfortable to skin when cuddled. The colors are bright and these items are made with attention to detail. Please excuse the dull lighting in my photos, it was late and my daughter fell asleep on the couch next to me. 

This 100% cotton knit football player lovely/stuffy is available in 10 different fun team colors and is also available as a 7" rattle. It is lovingly crafted in the Philippines by artisans. I love that it is cotton and is knitted. Zubels uses Eco-friendly dyes. This is machine washable. I would suggest using a lingerie bag and zipping it closed or washing in a tied pillowcase or large sock just in case. I would be afraid that a zipper would harm it. Not only is it super soft and safe, without buttons or zippers, but it is also tested 100% safe by the U.S. Product Safety Commission Standards. You can find this fella, and so many other wonderful toys and kids' items, on Zubels website and on Amazon. 

Here are some examples of Zubels that might catch your eye! These caught mine!
