Finally, a Solution for Those Hard to Gift Folks! The GoWallet App!

Christmas, Birthdays, Mothers&Fathers day-For me these types of gift giving occasions have one thing in common: I never know what to gift someone for any of them! I agonize over them all and more often than not end up browsing stores at the very last minute, throwing random 'they-might-like-this' items into my basket before taking a wild guess at the checkout.

One of the ways I've solved this personal dilemma is with Gift Cards; you simply cannot go wrong with handing over a Gift Card to the Birthday boy/girl, to your Father or even to an expectant Mother on the day of her Baby shower. I mean really, if you ask someone and they answered honestly, they'd tell you that they'd prefer a Gift Card over just about anything else so they could pick out something they actually really wanted.

"The infographic from Gowallet below gives a lot of great tips about how you can make gift cards even more useful for the person receiving the gift card AND the person giving it.

For example:

Watch for discounts on gift cards from your favorite retailers and restaurants and think about buying a few. You can often get a big discount by buying them at the same time.
Buy gift cards at the grocery store and earn gas reward points to save as much as $1 a gallon on gas at major stations. Like this deal Safeway has right now that offers you 4X points when you buy gift cards there! http://www.safeway.com/ShopStores/RewardPoints.page

Got a gift card you didn't use or don't want? You can trade them in or exchange them at sites like CardPool.com http://cardpool.com or sell them at a discount. How awesome is that?

Got a lot of gift cards and can't keep track of them? Use GoWallet.com http://gowallet.com  to organize and track your balances, and even get discount offers."

Thera-Pearl Eye-ssential Eye Mask Review

Disclosure: I received Thera-Pearl product(s) and information to facilitate and host this review. I received no other compensation for this post and was under no obligation to post a positive review. The opinions contained within, are my own and reflect my experience with the product(s). Your own may be different.


Its safe to say that with 2 children under the age of 5 running around things can definitely get a little bit stressful in our home. If Baby Desmond isn't in distress from needing to nurse or from her older sister giving her a fright, which is quite often, then Sophia is throwing a terrible-two tantrum OR getting into something she is most definitely not supposed to.

If its not a tantrum and its not the youngest needing to nurse then its most definitely lack of sleep. My Mama swears I get more sleep than any new Mother she's ever met but boy howdy, if she could only see what its like behind closed doors/in the middle of the night!

I wake up with bags the size of Texas under my eyes and I feel like I've been run over by a truck; the job of a Mother is certainly taking its toll.

Finally, after searching for a way to relieve some of that stress and diminish those unsightly bags I came across the Thera Pearl Eye-ssential Eye Mask by Thera-Pearl. At first glance and feel I was both impressed and skeptical but decided to give it a true try.

One of my favorite things about this product is the hundreds of tiny 'pearls' that give the Thera-Pearl products their name:

"The Pearl Technology® contained in every THERA°PEARL pack is game changing innovation born of an age old therapy. Crafted by a doctor who knew she could offer her patients something better than a bag of frozen peas, THERA°PEARL was designed with you in mind. Whether chilled or heated, Pearl Technology conveniently holds its temperature for the doctor recommended time of 20 minutes and conforms to your body to deliver the perfect relief from your aches and pains."

The Thera-Pearl Eye-ssential Eye Mask can be used either Hot or Cold, its entirely up to the user but I prefer to pop this bad boy in the freezer and apply it to my eyes after a long day of keeping pace with my girls. The cold option is best for dry, pussy eyes and even the nasty sinus headaches I occasionally seem to be suffering from lately.

For those of you who prefer to go with the Hot method the heat is said to be a HUGE help in reducing nasal congestion and relieves soreness once the swelling is gone.

Just forget about it in the Freezer for awhile or pop it into the microwave to begin enjoying the Eye-ssential benefits! Forget the mess and the fuss of ice packs, the Eye-ssential Eye Mask neither drips nor leaks and it keeps its temperature for a full 20 minutes after application!

I love my Eye-ssential Eye Mask from Thera-pearl and hope you, my readers, might give it a try if your days are anything like mine!

Krave Jerky Review and 5pk Sampler Giveaway! US 7/23

Disclosure: I received Krave Jerky product(s) and information to facilitate and host this review. I received no other compensation for this post and was under no obligation to post a positive review. The opinions contained within, are my own and reflect my experience with the product(s). Your own may be different. 


It can be kind of tough being one of two Carnivores in a household of Vegans/Vegetarians; in-fact I should just say its a constant battle for my family: Carnivores vs. Vegans. The Vegans try to sell us on their way of life and we Carnivores mainly ignore them and continue stuffing our faces with more meat.

One of the many reasons I could never give up meat is Jerky. Beef, Pork, Turkey, it doesn't matter I love them all and couldn't bear the thought of giving them up! I love the intense saltiness and juicy meat flavor in a bag of good Jerky so when I was given the green light to review for Krave's Gourmet Jerky I was in 7th Heaven.

To help facilitate this review I was sent a sampler pack of Krave Jerky in 5 of their delicious flavors:

Smoky Grilled Teriyaki Pork Jerky
Garlic Chili Pepper Beef Jerky
Lemon Garlic Turkey Jerky
Pineapple Orange Beef Jerky
Black Cherry Barbecue

When my package arrived from Krave I was expecting the usual humdrum Jerky that many other companies claim as the best but when thinking 'Gourmet' I had no idea how much of a treat their products would be; I was blown away by just the very first bite!

Krave Jerky was so moist and tender I couldn't believe it was really jerky at all. The flavor alone was phenomenal and if I had to choose my favorite(s) out of the entire sampler I'd have to pick Lemon Garlic and Black Cherry Barbecue.

What I love most about Krave jerky, I know I sound like a broken record, is the flavor. The savory flavors aren't overly salted or fatty nor are they that leathery shoe texture most seem to offer but are so moist I had to keep checking the packaging to make sure I was actually enjoying REAL Jerky.

The sweeter Krave products are the same; you don't get cheated by lack of flavor, freshness or texture and at the same time they don't overdue it either. Krave Jerky has found the perfect balance in their Jerky products.

"KRAVE Jerky is a guilt-free way to feed your need for meat. KRAVE is perfect for healthy snacking on-the-go, made with lean cuts of tender top round sirloin beef, center cut pork leg, and turkey breast, specially seasoned with all-natural, gourmet ingredients. Due to its recipes, meat selection and proprietary cooking process, KRAVE’s products are materially lower in salt (50-70%), cholesterol (50-70%) and calories (15-70%) than its major competitors and are 97% fat free. Devoid of any nitrates, hormones and artificial flavors, all-natural KRAVE jerky has an elevated conscience.
