Libre Tea Infuser Glasses Are Perfect For Those Tea Lovers On Your List And A ~~Giveaway~~

Libre (lee-brah)
The state of being free. Letting go, bringing one’s mind and body to a place of rest and free from restraint.

I love Tea.  All different types of tea.  When I was younger, it was given to me when I wasn't feeling good.  Tea and toast were my grandma's cure all.  Now that I am older, I drink it a lot, and I still need it when I do not feel well.

I used to just have tea already in tea bags at home.  I could not find a good strainer/infuser for the loose leaf.  Over the last couple of years, I was introduced to Libre glasses, and use them constantly!!  These glasses are perfect for loose leaf tea leaves, and make a terrific cup of tea.  They are very easy to use, and easy to clean. 

I was sent a couple of new ones to review, and these are real beauties!! 

Bright, feminine and fun- the Garden Dance Pink glass is a favorite among ladies of all ages. You`ll feel as if you`re in a magical garden while admiring the beautiful fuchsia pink filigree swirls of leaves and buds with shimmery silver details.

Your peaceful tea moments with the Garden Dance Pink Glass will make you feel as if the whole world is a garden, blooming before your eyes!

  
The anchor of style, black, has long been known as the most versatile color. The 14oz. Black Brush Tea Glass goes with everything! Like that little black dress in your closet- this glass will take you from day to night with ease. With the same clean glass interior, durable BPA-free poly exterior and removable stainless steel filter as all our models, the Black Brush glass features serene and delicate patterns of light brush strokes and small clusters of pale pink blossoms with shimmery silver branches. Stay hydrated in style, no matter where life takes you!

These glasses would make a perfect gift for a tea drinker on your shopping list!!  You can check out all their different collections here.  You even still have time to purchase one through Amazon here.

Zing Toys Add Even More Fun To The Fidget Spinner Craze!!

If you are a parent, you know what a fidget spinner is.  My boys have a couple, and are always asking for more.  Personally I don't find them all that exciting, yet I do find myself spinning one now and then, and these new ones from Zing Toys are pretty cool.  

Zing Toys has expanded on the concept and has come out with quite a few new cooler spinners.  

Tumblstix™
So simple…yet so complex. Tumblstix is a small, weighted mesmerizing stick that challenges balance.  Test your creativity and dexterity and sharpen your focus and hand-eye coordination by rolling over the Tumblstix gently. Balance and catch the stick smoothly during 360-degree rolls and 180-degree flicks, all while doing tricks! Once you get the hang of it, create your own tricks and upload them to social media.
Each Tumblstix includes LED lights for awesome visual effects.

Zing Dama™
A twist on the traditional! This hybrid of KenDama, Yo-Yo and Zing consists of four parts: a ball, a ring, string and an adjustable strap.  Strap the cup firmly on to your fingers and start to swing the ball in any direction. Once you get into your groove, get creative with tricks and capture the ball with your own flair and skill.
The Zing Dama features multiple LED lights for 24/7 play and awesome visual effects. Record your skills and upload them to social media.

Metal Chuckz™
Metal Chuckz are built just like Thumb Chucks, but these ‘Chucks’ are covered in a soft, sleek, ‘Metaltek’ coating for a brand new experience, allowing for advanced tricks because they are weighted slightly heavier than Thumb Chucks. Metal Chuckz deliver challenging fun with a classy look. Perfect for mastering tricks on

the go while easily fitting inside your pocket!

Spin Circuits™
A three pronged blade design that delivers 20 different preprogrammed LED light patterns with the press of a button! Stack them to any Zing spinner by using the Spin Pin to deliver an ultra colorful light display!

You can purchase each of these spinners through Zing Toy's online store along with many other cool products!!  These will make great stocking stuffers!!

Mission Athletecare Helps Keep You Cool! #TakeOnTheHeat

**All opinions expressed are 100% my own.  I was not compensated for this post.  I was given product for review purposes.**

We’re not just passionate about performance. We’re perseverance pioneers. Because like you — we find a way. A way to push a little harder. To move a little quicker. To feel a little stronger. We believe greatness is always in reach. But you’ve got to dig deep, you’ve got to harness your heat. That's why we build innovative thermoregulation technology into the fabric of all our products. We do it because when you control temperature, you unlock performance.

That can be The Difference Between Good and Great™.

Just in case you have never read my sites before, my family and I are HUGE Disney fans!!  We head down to Florida every year, usually in the fall.  If you have ever been to Florida, nine out of ten times it is still quite hot and humid in the fall.  We walk around Disney World all day, so we get quite hot and sweaty.  

Mission athletecare helps you keep cool with their line of EnduraCool products.

Mission’s Enduracool instant cooling technology chills fabric surface temperature by up to 30° to help you control temperature on demand. Quick cooling means you command a competitive edge – and when you control temperature, you unlock performance.

I was sent some of their cooling towels, and a headband to help us on our latest trip.

The towels are easy to use.  Soak them in water and ring out the excess.  Hold the towel at each end and snap it a couple of times.  That activates the cooling technology.  We kept the towels on our necks throughout the day, and they really did help.  We tested them for a couple hours one day, and then went with out them for a couple hours.  There was quite the difference.  The headband worked great too. 

We have a couple items that we always take with us, and these towels have been added to the list!!

You can purchase these and other Mission products through their website here, or through Amazon.  These would make great stocking stuffers!!

Snake Bite Company Bottle Opener Review And ~~Giveaway~~

**All opinions expressed are 100% my own.  I was not compensated for this post.  I was given product for review purposes.**

Our flagship product, The Original Snake Bite bottle opener, has set the bar high. We spent the better part of a year testing materials, methods, prototyping, refining and finalizing every last detail. Finding the right steel, the right hides, the right people. It’s a keychain bottle opener; it’s a simple product. But that simple product is comprised of 6 separate pieces, that go through over 30 different processes before being assembled, by hand, by 4 different craftspeople. Every Snake Bite Co. product meets the design, quality, and commitment to American labor and materials that the Snake Bite Bottle Opener took us through.

I have multiple men on my shopping list each year, and it gets harder and harder to find them gifts.  They never say what they want, and I never know what they need.  

One thing I find all guys need and will use is a good bottle opener.  Those things are needed in all sorts of different places, and if they come in key chain form, they are used often.

Snake Bite makes really unique bottle openers with a tanned leather cover.  These stainless steel bottle openers are made to last a lifetime.  They are not only used as an opener, but a venting tool as well.  

I was sent the Blood Leather Opener to review, and I am quite impressed.

Meet our newest limited edition color – Blood is now available.

The Original Snake Bite is a patented keychain bottle opener sheathed in 6oz vegetable tanned blood leather. It has all the components and engineering required to last a lifetime as a part of your EDC. This 302 stainless steel tool not only easily opens bottles it also vents the back of aluminum cans for an amazing pour every time. Holding it all together are military grade kydex holster rivets and hard drawn nickel plated steel split rings.

This opener is very light weight, and works great!!  It's the only key chain my husband will use!!

Right now you can get The Viper Pit set of six bottle openers, perfect for gift giving, on sale for the cost of 5!!

Snake Bite also sells a variety of other products to go with the bottle opener like t-shirts, hats, hoodies, and pint glasses.

Would you like to win a bottle opener for yourself, and one for a friend??  Enter below using the giveaway form, and good luck!!

North Star Games Has Something For Everyone!

**All opinions expressed are 100% my own.  I was not compensated for this post.  I was given product for review purposes.**

I love board games.  I grew up with them, and even when I was a young adult (before kids,) that was a fun pass time for Ben and I to do.  We would play for hours with our best friend Chris.  

I have taught the kids that technology is not everything, and that you can have as much fun with board games as you can with video games.

North Star Games sent me two fun games to play with the kids.  The first one is Happy Holidays.

  
Ages: 6+   |   Players: 3-8   |

Happy Holidays! gets everyone laughing as soon as they open the box. It’s the hilarious game where players take turns surprising each other with unique gifts. From a remote-controlled robot to your own private island, Happy Holidays! is filled with full-color pictures of wacky and wonderful gifts. Which one would you give? Which one would you like to receive?

Happy Holidays! is the perfect stocking stuffer and will turn any holiday gathering into a party!

How to Play

Everybody gives you a gifts from their hand.
You pick the best…and worst.

Those players get a point!

This is a great way to learn from people what gifts they value the most and what you should never ever buy!!!

The other game I was sent was Wits and Wagers.

Ages: 10+   |   Players: 4-unlimited   |
With over 1 million sold, Wits & Wagers has become a modern classic and is still the most award-winning party game in history!  Wits & Wagers Deluxe Edition is the same game you know and love, but now loaded with upgrades!

- New casino-quality wagering chips
- Crease-free felt mat
- Deluxe dry-erase markers with erasers
- Premium cardboard currency chips

Best of all, Wits & Wagers Deluxe Edition is the same great price as the original Wits & Wagers!

How to Play

Do you know the average number of pizza slices eaten by Americans each day? Of course not! That’s the fun. No one knows the answers, but everyone can take a guess. The felt betting mat and different payout odds will make you feel like a Vegas high roller. Get lucky and you’ll cheer like you hit the jackpot!

Read a fun question...Everyone writes down a guess.
Place your bets... Which guess is closest?
Feeling confident? Bet on yourself.
Think others know better? Bet on them.

No idea? Bet on any guess and hope to get lucky.

This is a very fun trivia like game.  You bet on how much you think you know the answer to some crazy questions.  If you are absolutely sure you have no clue, bet on someone else's answer!!  Ben Jr, Ben Sr and I almost always say that we are sure we are right.  Doug always bets on someone else.  He usually wins!!  This is a ton of fun to see how smart you and your friends are!!

North Star Games has games for people of all ages.  It is a great way to spend some quality family time together!! 

You can purchase the games directly from their site, or through Amazon!!  Hurry, some are still available to receive before Christmas!!
