Ultimate Pet Nutrition Review and Giveaway

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 21 Sep 2025 23:21:00 +0000

I consider my pets more than just furry friends that live in our home; they are part of my family, and with all my family members, I want them to eat a healthy diet that they enjoy. Recently, I was introduced to Ultimate Pet Nutrition and their mission to bring good nutrition to our four-legged family members. Ultimate Pet Nutrition offers high-quality food, treats, and supplements made with the freshest ingredients and free of fillers and artificial preservatives. We were sent a bag of their Nutra Complete premium pork freeze-dried raw dog food as well as their Nutra Bites wild salmon treats for review. Relic was licking his lips at the sight.

Their Freeze-dried Raw dog food comes in 7 different varieties. They are a blend of protein, packed with seeds, minerals, fruits, vegetables, and vitamins. It helps support healthy digestion, a healthy immune system, and a healthy coat.

Per the bag's directions, I added some Nutra Complete to his existing dog food since he is not used to eating a nutrient-dense raw food. You can add water to soften the food or serve it as is. Relic prefers eating food with a crunch, so I left it as is. You can gradually start feeding less of the former food and more of Nutra Complete for about 10 days. Relic is absolutely loving it!

He is also a huge fan of these wild salmon treats.

You can purchase Ultimate Pet Nutrition products on their website and also on Amazon. If there is a feline in your family, you are in luck because they also carry a few products for all the cat lovers.

The people at Ultimate Pet Nutrition are generously allowing me to host a giveaway. One of our readers will get the chance to win the same 2 products I received, a bag of Nutra Complete and a bag of Nutra Bites.

The featured product (s) in this post were provided to me free of charge by the manufacturer or PR company representing them. All opinions expressed in this review are my own and not influenced in any way by anyone.

Royal Canin Digestive Supplement Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 23:31:00 +0000

Recently, I was given, or rather, Relic was given the opportunity to try Royal Canin Digestive Supplement Chews. For over 50 years, Royal Canin has been in the business of nutrition for cats and dogs. They have a variety of different foods available, as well as supplements with their most recent line of probiotics for cats and dogs, because our furry friends need healthy guts too.

Relic was eager to give these chewable supplements a try. They come in an 8.5 oz. pouch with 60 supplements inside. Depending on your dog's size, it is advised to give 1 to 4 of these chews a day. Relic weighs about 70lbs., so 3 chews are recommended for him.

He actually really enjoys these. They are a treat for him, but I know that they are also aiding in his health. Developed by a veterinarian, these supplements for adult dogs promote a balanced gut biome, healthy digestion, and good stool quality. Now, I don't make it a habit to check out dog poop, but I have noticed that when I am cleaning the yard, Relics' poops are much firmer and easier to pick up, meaning they don't squish when I pick them up with the pooper scooper. This is definitely a good thing. I've also noticed fewer stinky toots, another good thing. Relic and I both agree that these digestive chews are a win.

You can purchase some at PetSmart, Petco, or online at Chewy. They also have a Digestive and Immunity variety. Relic says, "Go check them out!" Woof Woof!

Tamalitoz Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 11 May 2025 21:41:00 +0000

Growing up in southern California I grew up eating Mexican candy. That delicious combination of spicy, sweet and salty. It is a flavor I crave and always gives me a nostalgic feeling. I remember as a little girl walking to my grandmother's neighbor's house after school because she had a little table set up inside her home where she sold a variety of sweet and salty candy's. Saladitos, Tamarindo, Diablitos, Chamoy and my favorite Vero mango lollipops. It wasn't until years later that I learned that many of those candy's may have contained some questionable not so healthy ingredients. So, I was pretty excited to learn about Tamalitoz by Sugarox.

The owners of Sugarox, that started out as a small candy store in Mexico making small batch hard candy, decided to create a line of candy's inspired by my favorite Mexican sweets. But, with a twist! While most Mexican candies are covered with chili on the outside. Tamalitoz contain chili on the inside. So, you get a sweet exterior with an explosion of chili flavor on the inside.

Their Divine Watermelon hard candies are sweet watermelon on the outside, but as you continue to savor these you start to get a hint of chili lime and once you get to the middle of these little pillows that delicious chili taste fills your mouth. They are really good! So good in fact that I left an open bag on the counter while I was at work and when I got home, they were all gone. My husband devoured these.

Their Chili Pops Chamoy are naturally flavored cucumber, coconut and tamarind flavored lollipops with swirls of chamoy. They are so tasty and remind me of my favorite Vero lollipops. I hear they also have a mango flavored one that I must try.

In addition to these candy's, I also tried their Palomitaz Lip Smackign Mango Popcorn. I love adding Tajin to my popcorn, so I knew I was going to love this. Salty, sweet with a hint of chili this popcorn snack is addictive. I would have finished the whole bag myself it wasn't for my husband again who also enjoyed these.

Tamalitoz has definitely found a new fan and consumer in me. I am excited to try some of the other varieties of candies and popcorn that they sell. Check them out here!

Avaline Wine Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 02 Apr 2025 19:56:00 +0000

Recently I was shopping at my local Target when I came across Avaline wine. What caught my eye was the bottle. It was very simple but elegant. I also liked the little tagline on the front that read "Pairs well with: The warmth of the sun and the company of your best friend."

I decided to do some quick research on it and discovered a couple of things. First off, its organic. Made from organic grapes. It also contains no added sugars or artificial colors. Second, the faces behind this wine are actress Cameron Diaz and founder of beauty brands Versed and Merit, Katherine Power. I decided to purchase a bottle of their Rose' to see what it was all about.

I really enjoyed it! It is dry with just a slight sweetness without the bitterness. Clean and crisp is how I would describe it. It is perfect for sipping, while nibbling on cheese and fruit. You can join their online wine club or purchase single bottles online. You can also find Avaline at places like Target, Whole Foods and Total Wine & More. I will definitely be checking out some of their other wine varieties in the near future.

Bubblegum Kids Review and Giveaway Stocking Stuffer Idea

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 13 Nov 2024 20:20:00 +0000

Recently I was introduced to Bubblegum Kids, a sugar free gum that tastes great and brings back the nostalgia of the 1980's. When I saw this, it reminded me so much of growing up in the 80's, chewing on Bubblicious, while going through my growing stack of Garbage Pail Kids cards. In fact, the creators of Bubblegum Kids were inspired by their childhood obsession with bubblegum to create a healthier alternative while still being kid friendly.

Bubblegum Kids has some fun flavors to choose from like Hanna's Frozen Banana or Daisy's Strawberry Field, my fave, and Popeye's Spinach. They have even launched new Care Bears inspired gum like Birthday Bear's Cake Batter and Cheer Bar's Cotton Candy. This gum is a healthier version of sugar filled kids gum. They come in 2.9 oz packs filled with 55 pieces of little gum squares. These would make great stocking stuffers for the young or young at heart. Go check out some of the other tasty flavors they carry! I am also hosting a giveaway for one lucky reader who will get the chance to win 4 pks of Bubblegum Kid's in the following flavors: Daisy's Strawberry Field, Theo's Wacky Watermelon, Hannah's Frozen Banana and Barry's Scary Berry.

We aren't just a skincare company, we are a movement.

I was recently introduced to Veriphy skincare products. Veriphy skincare was created by a group of scientists on accident, discovering a 100% plant based form of glycogen. Glycogen is known for it's skin replenishing, anti-wrinkle properties by boosting production of elastin, collagen and hyaluronic acid.

Gift Idea From the Pocket of an Overcoat Children's Book

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 11 Dec 2023 00:21:00 +0000

From the Pocket Of An Overcoat by R. Vincent is the story of a cat named Max who was living with a homeless woman named Sally. One day Max meets Farmer Buckles and is soon off to a new adventure and a new home. This children's book is a cute story about love and family. It is also based on a real life Max that was found by a homeless woman in Dallas. She kept him safe in the pocket of her overcoat while she found a home for him.

I read this story to my preschool class and they loved meeting Max's new family on the farm. Including a rooster and four dogs that welcomed little Max into their home. The story ends with anticipation of Max's adventures yet to come, and my preschool friends were eager to find out what happened next. We took turns using our imagination and thinking of possible mischief Max gets into on the farm. If you are looking for a heartwarming book to gift to a child this one is it. A portion of each book sale will be donated to organizations that promote animal rescue and adoption. You can purchase From The Pocket Of An Overcoat on Amazon, Target or Barnes and Noble.

Gift Idea Wednesday Coloring Book Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 05 Dec 2023 21:17:00 +0000

As we all await season 2 of Wednesday here is the perfect gift for the morbid Wednesday fan in your life. A Wednesday coloring book by book publishers Ulysses Press and illustrated by Amanda Brack.

Color your way through Wednesday’s dark and twisted world with original, hand-drawn illustrations that will pull you by your braids into Jericho, Vermont and leave your head spinning.

I have always been a fan of all things dark and weird. I loved watching old episodes of The Adams Family growing up and enjoyed watching season 1 of Wednesday. It took me back to my high school days, yes I was pretty much Wednesday back then. Although I don't look it these days, I still am a fan of the strange and unusual.

Hence, the reason I was excited to receive a copy of this book for review. I love the illustrations and I have pretty much worn my black colored pencil. I enjoy passing the time mindlessly coloring the images of Wednesdays world while listening to Bauhaus or Siouxsie and the Banshees. I love that their is a whole new generation of Wednesday fans, even in my preschool class. Good bye Anna braids, I am now seeing 4 year old's in their Wednesday braids.

You can get your ghoulish hands on this book on Amazon or Barnes & Noble, for yourself or as a gift.

Gift Idea CordBrick

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 25 Nov 2023 02:18:00 +0000

Are you looking for a stocking stuffer that is actually useful? What about a CordBrick? CordBrick is designed to help you keep track of your phone cord or other tech cords. Made of silicone and weighted steel this little brick gathers your cords and weighs them down so they never fall behind your nightstand table or desk. You can use it to hold cords, wrap cords, as a phone stand or stand for your earbuds.

CordBrick comes in a variety of colors and a small size that takes up little space. The compact size is also perfect for traveling with. I can't tell you how many times I have had to search for my tablet cord in the dark because it slipped off my nightstand while I was watching a show in bed. Bonus...it also comes in a glow in the dark version. This is totally going to alleviate my frustration!

There is currently a Black Friday deal on Amazon for CordBrick at the low price of $9.59. What a steal!

Gift Idea Dowan Butter Dish Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 20 Nov 2023 16:12:00 +0000

It's Black Friday season and the perfect time to shop for those holiday gifts. I don't know if you are anything like me, but I tend to try and avoid the mad rush during this time of year by doing most of my shopping online. It's convenient, you can find some great products you wouldn't normally find in your local stores, and lets not forgot to mention the deals.

Recently I learned about Dowan Ceramic Dinnerware they have a large variety of items that can be purchased easily on Amazon. If you are looking for the perfect gift for that foodie in your life or someone like me that loves receiving kitchen related stuff, then you got to check out all they have to offer.

Like these colorful ceramic mixing bowls which I absolutely love. They come in this really cute pattern, are stackable and so affordable. They are oven, dishwasher and microwave safe and perfect for mixing up your baked goods.

I am also a fan of these ramen/noodle bowls. How stylish and adorable are these?! They would make the perfect gift for any ramen lover.

Dowan has so many products that I would love to own. I could literally fill my Christmas wish list with just products from them. One of their products that I am now an owner of is their Butter Dish for Spreadable Soft Butter.

I love the taste of real butter but those blocks are so hard to spread. This butter crock means no more cold, hard butter. You can enjoy soft fresh butter with this French butter dish that keeps your butter fresh without refrigeration.

You simply use a spoon to pack your butter into the butter keeper. Place water to the fill line in the butter dish and put the butter keeper upside down directly into the bowl. The water forms a seal that preserves your butter. There it is! Fresh spreadable butter at your fingertips. Change the water out every 2 to 3 days and you can also add a bit of salt to the water to keep the butter fresher longer. I love my Dowan Butter Dish!

It comes in several different colors but the white matches perfectly with my kitchen décor. What's more this cute little butter dish is currently on sale for only $13.48!

Dowan has already started their Black Friday deals on just about all of their products. Why leave the house when you can easily shop from the comfort of your home and get some great gifts. Go check them out now!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 08 Sep 2023 20:42:00 +0000

Their skin care line which has products for both men and woman are formulated with natural ingredients to hydrate skin and help keep a youthful appearance.

It comes with a small applicator brush perfect for applying to the eyes for a hint of sparkle. I also like to dab a small amount on my cheek bones and nose using my fingers for a dewy glow. This is really a great highlighter/ bronzer or pop of color anywhere you would like to accentuate.

Mode Chocolate Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Thu, 29 Jun 2023 20:36:00 +0000

Are you a chocolate lover? If so, then I have something to share with you! It's really tasty chocolate that's healthier for you. Made without all the extra sugar, all natural ingredients and sweetened with monk fruit.

Mode Chocolate is a better option for those with a sweet tooth. These tasty chocolate bars come in both milk and dark chocolate. the dark chocolate option contains only 1g of sugar and is only 3 net carbs while the milk chocolate option contains 4g of sugar and only 4 net carbs. This is just a teeny amount compared to some other popular chocolate bars. I have to admit I was a little worried about whether or not I would like the taste of this chocolate but I did! It is creamy and taste like...well, really good chocolate. They are also about the size of a Hershey's bar so you are getting the same size snack in a better for your version. Chris is a chocolate fiend so I knew in order to seal the deal with this chocolate I had to get his stamp of approval. His thoughts, that's really good, do you have any more? Unfortunatly I was only sent one bar of each flavor to review however, you can purchase Mode Chocolate bars online in 5, 10 and 20 packs. They even have a subscription option so you never run out of chocolate. If you practice a low carb lifestyle or are looking for healthier options for yummy treats, than give Mode Chocolate a taste! Visit their website for a chance to win a years supply of chocolate!

TeeTurtle Plushie Tote Bag Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 21:47:00 +0000

Tee Turtle is a company that creates and sells pop culture and fandom apparel, toys and games. From licensed products from Capcom, Sanrio, Marvel and Disney to name a few, to just plain cute items for anyone that is into kawaii, kitsch or "nerdy" things. The latest arrival to hit their online store are these Plushie Tote Bags.

These tote bags are hidden inside an adorable plushie. You open the velcro storage pouch on the bottom of the plushie and out comes a matching tote bag. The plushie becomes a super cute and comfy handle to hold your bag or sits comfortably on your shoulder.

These sell for $20 and are just big enough to fit every day carry items or use as an overnight bag. I am a preschool teacher and I am planning to save mine for the next school year, to carry my lesson planner and important school items that I need on a daily basis in the classroom.

We saw the Harlem Globetrotters!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 01 May 2023 01:54:00 +0000

Back in December I posted how excited I was to get the chance to see the Harlem Globetrotters in action. As an 80's kid I remember hearing all about them and watching them on TV and thinking they were the coolest. When I told my husband Chris that I had received complimentary tickets to see them he was also excited. He said when he was a kid it was his dream to go see them. He told me they had a knock off version of the Globetrotters in the small town in Oregon he grew up in, and was sad when he didn't have the $2.00 for the tickets to go see them. I thought the story was amusing, but I didn't realize how much finally seeing the Harlem Globetrotters really meant to him, until February when we hit the Acrisure Arena in Palm Springs ready to watch the show.

Here we are ready for the show to begin. The Harlem Globetrotters don't just play basketball they put on a great show with comedy, action and tricks, all the while showing off their amazing athletic abilities.

It was so much fun! The players interacted with the audience who were all enjoying themselves. I saw families with small children, families with older children and even groups of adults, probably fulfilling their childhood dream like my husband. Speaking of Chris, he had a blast and when it was all over he told me I had made one of his boyhood dreams come true.

If you didn't get the chance to see the Harlem Globetrotters in action during this tour be sure to follow them on Instagram and Facebook to stay informed of when they will be touring around the states again. I believe they are currently finishing up their international tour. You can also watch them on their show Harlem Globetrotters Play it Forward streaming on NBC.

Gifts for the Cookbook Enthusiast!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 11 Apr 2023 23:05:00 +0000

I know I have mentioned this before but I am a collector of cookbooks. I enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes, so having an array of cookbooks at my grasp is a must. My favorites are the ones with colorful photos of food and stories behind the recipes. I received two new cookbooks to add to my collection and I absolutely loved them. From independent publishers Ulysses Press, 50 Things to Bake Before You Die and The I Love Trader Joe's Air Fryer Cookbook.

Author Allyson Reedy puts together an assortment of recipes from some of the best bakeries and bakers. Cakes, cookies, pies, crème brulee (my absolute, all time, favorite desert ever), you name it. The photos are lovely and make you want to try every single recipe in the book.

I made these Salted Peanut Butter Cookies and they were sooo good. I am not a big baker mostly because I am not a big fan of sweets but these were yum! My daughter Penelope is really into baking so I thought she would love this cookbook. I was right! She has bookmarked several pages of recipes that she plans on baking.

Author Rita Mock-Pike has put together over 100 recipes using foods found at Trader Joe's and my favorite kitchen appliance ever, the air fryer. Trader Joe's is so much fun to shop at and carries some delicious items. When I saw this cookbook which paired my favorite grocery store with my favorite cooking tool I was sold. The book is full of appetizers, sides and main dish recipes that are tasty and quick to make. This is a must have cookbook if you like cooking but also don't want to spend hours in the kitchen prepping and making a mess. I am so excited for my next Trader Joes shopping trip!

Both of these cookbooks would make great additions to your collection or as a gift for someone who enjoys spending time in the kitchen. You can find copies of these and more books from Ulysses Press on Amazon.

Fab Fit Fun Review and Complimentary Starter Box!

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sat, 11 Mar 2023 16:55:00 +0000

A few years ago I purchased a FabFitFun subscription for my mom as a Christmas gift. She really enjoyed receiving the seasonal boxes filled with surprises and I was always eager to see what had arrived in her box. I finally decided to try it out for myself and share the Winter FabFitFun box I received a couple months ago. I have also since received the Spring box which I will share on a later date. I am pretty sure FabFitFun needs little introduction as ads for their boxes are everywhere. It's basically a seasonal subscription box filled with beauty and lifestyle products. You are able to choose certain items that come in your box and others are a complete surprise. If you enjoy getting fun stuff in the mail, you will love this. It's only $59.99 per season and you can cancel anytime. You can also opt to pay for an annual subscription up front with a little extra perks. So here is my first ever FabFitFun box...

It came in this cute winter themed box.

Each box comes with a magazine that tells you about the items and value in your box. The value of each box is supposed to be over $200, that's a pretty good deal!

So here are the items that I received in my box. I was able to customize a few of these and choose between several items.

I chose this olive oil decanter because I was annoyed with the one I had that kept spilling everywhere. I was very pleased with this one. It even has a a cover so oil doesn't drip all over the place.

The Beekman 1802 Dream Booster was a surprise. I have not tried this better aging serum yet but I always love receiving skin care.

This Living Proof Night Cap overnight hair protector was also a surprise. I have been using this hair treatment and loving it. By the way, these products have already paid for the price of the subscription box and more.

This Moroccan Gold Series Treatment Mask was another surprise. I decided to gift this one since I had already received another hair product.

This Quick Slick to tame fly away hairs was yet another surprise. This one was grabbed from me by my daughter Penelope.

Finally, these Social Studies Nesting Bowls were an item I chose because they match my color scheme in my kitchen, and you can never have to many bowls. These are smaller bowls perfect for prepping ingredients when cooking.

All in all I enjoyed the winter FabFitFun box. I will share what I received in the spring box shortly.

Ladies! I have 5 complimentary FabFitFun starter boxes to give away. The first 5 readers to comment on this post with their email address and first and last name will receive an invite to receive a starter box. You will have to pay for shipping. Who wants a box?!

Dignity Coconuts Review- A Gift that gives back

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 14 Dec 2022 05:33:00 +0000

If you have not heard of Dignity Coconuts this is a company you need to know about. I love companies that give back and Dignity Coconuts is doing just that by helping coconut farmers escape debt, providing them with education and skills and giving them a source of clean water and holistic help. I had know idea that coconut farmers are at risk of trafficking due to being trapped in predatory loans and corrupt pricing. Dignity Coconuts is changing the coconut industry by providing jobs to otherwise distressed communities all while being committed to making the best coconut products for consumers around the world.

I was sent a jar of Dignity Coconuts Raw Coconut Oil for review. Raw coconut oil has many uses from cooking to moisturizing. You can even add it to our morning smoothie for a great source of antioxidants! My lips were seriously dry and chapped since the cold weather arrived and recently I have been using this coconut oil as a lip balm to keep my lips moisturized. It really works, and my lips are feeling so much better. I also love the smell and taste of this 100% raw coconut oil. My pooch has also been reaping benefits of this coconut oil as his nose has been dry and scaly. I have been putting it on his nose to help, as it is super moisturizing and contains anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory properties. I also don't have to worry about him licking it off as it is perfectly safe for dogs.

RevitaLash Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 11 Dec 2022 02:55:00 +0000

I was recently introduced to a company called RevitaLash Cosmetics. The story of RevitaLash is pretty amazing. It was founded in 2006 when a physician wanted to help his wife feel beautiful during her fight against breast cancer. RevitaLash Cosmetics is a line of beauty products designed to enhance the health and beauty of lashes, brows and hair while giving back to the cause that started it all.

The two products I was sent for review are their RevitaLash Advanced Eyelash Conditioner and RevitaBrow Advanced Eyebrow Conditioner. The eyelash conditioner addresses the signs of aging due to chemical and environmental stressors. It is designed to give you more luxurious lashes by protecting against breakage, improving flexibility and shine. A 6 week consumer study reported a 98% improved lash appearance. While a 13 week study showed an increase in natural eyelash curl.

The RevitaBrow Advanced Eyebrow Conditioner is designed for more luxurious brows. After 8 weeks a study showed a 92% fuller looking eyebrows and a 96% improvement overall. Both products are hypoallergenic, clinically tested, Vegan friendly and cruelty free. They do not contain any parabens, phthalates, or fragrance and are made in the USA.

I have been using these products for for 4 weeks now. They are super easy to use, you just swipe along your eyebrow and lash line once a day. That simple!

The photos above are my before photos. I am planning to post some after photos in another 4 weeks to see if if their are any visual changes. So far I have noticed a little filling in on my eyebrows, particularly a spot on my inner left eyebrow that was previously thinned out. I have not skipped an application in the month that I have been using these products so I am anxious to see what another month will look like.

If you would like to learn more about these products and the RevitaLash Cosmetics company be sure to check out their website. Also stay tuned for some more photos coming in January!

Tulip Color Crafts

I have been blogging for several years now. I love learning about new products, or new products to me, and sharing with all my Girly Girl readers. Blogging is what I do on my spare time, my full time job is preschool teacher. Being a preschool teacher means I am always looking for new ways to get creative with my little ones. Recently I was sent a fabulous package of goodies from Tulip craft supplies.

I was so excited about this generous sampling of art/craft supplies because the new school year has started and I know it is going to get a lot of use. Tulip Color Crafts makes a wide variety of items for all your crafting needs. I was sent their Tie-Dye Party Kit filled with 14 colors, gloves, rubber bands and a plastic surface cover. Pretty much all you need for a fun tie-dye bash. This kit would be great if you are planning a kids party. Purchase some inexpensive t-shirts for your attendees and have a color blast. I was also sent two of their One-Step Tie-Dye Kits, 5 color kit in Wilderness colors and Rainbow. These also contain everything you need for your tie-dye project. These kits dye up to 30 projects! So you can tie-dye crazy!

The other item I was sent is their Dimensional Fabric Paint in Wildflower. These 10 bottles are inspired by nature, permanent and machine washable. I will be using these for special event t-shirts throughout the school year. They will be a fun way for my littles to get into the school spirit. In addition their Brush on Fabric Paint is perfect for brushing, stamping, sponging and stenciling.

What's really great about Tulip Color crafts is they are non-toxic so I don't have to worry about using them in the classroom and they make any crafting job super easy. To get your hands on these products and more from Tulip Color Crafts check them out on Amazon.

Nostalgia Coffee Roasters Review

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 09 Aug 2022 17:12:00 +0000

Do you love coffee? Have a got a great product to share with you! Nostalgia Coffee Roasters makes really good coffee, they not only carry traditional ground coffee. They have also created an instant coffee that taste like it is freshly brewed in a pot. Their brew bags, similar to tea bags contain 100% ethically grown, organic coffee. In addition 5% of their revenue goes back to producers. You simply place a bag in your favorite coffee mug, pour your steaming hot water in it and dunk the bag in a few times depending on how strong you like your cup. Super easy and no waste! My mom who likes her coffee on the lighter side even gets 2 uses out of one bag. These are especially useful for those of us who don't drink a full pot of coffee and just want to enjoy a long sip.

Nostalgia Coffee Roasters instant coffee comes in two varieties; Memory Lane Medium Roast and Glory Days Dark Roast. You can also get these two varieties in bags of ground coffee. Find out more about the team behind this great coffee by checking them out here.
