Craft Coffee has recently launched the Coffee DNA Project™ — a revolutionary customized coffee subscription service powered by your taste buds. 

Through extensive research, science, and technology, Craft Coffee found that when it comes to coffee, people want two things – experience and convenience. With just a 30 second survey about your coffee preferences and habits, they deliver hand-roasted coffees right to your doorstep on your schedule.

As much as you all know how much I love coffee, there is another beverage that grabs my attention…and that would be wine.   I recently had the opportunity to receive a shipment from Uncorked Ventures Wine Club and would like to share with you about their offerings and service.

Jay at Play International is set to send young imaginations soaring with HideAway Pets.  These ultra-soft plush pals “snap” into a pint-sized pillow.

The softest materials and adorable expressions bring the HideAway Pets to life.  A menagerie of collective animals are available in the collection and they are available at major national retailers, including Target, Walmart and Toys”R”Us.

I don’t know about the rest of you ladies, but my purse resembles a bottomless pit of chaos.  You’ll often find me pawing my way through it because I can’t find something I need.  My change purse, my phone, but usually and most importantly…my keys.  

Finders Key Purse is an innovative, beautifully designed solution to that problem though, and is a stylish accessory as well.  I received a media sample to try out and I’m telling you that this product will serve you well whether you’re just in the grocery store for a quick trip to get milk or a long trek, traveling for thousands of miles.

It’s happened to all of us at some time.  Someone meaning well has purchased us a gift that’s just not our style, or size or something we just wouldn’t ever use.  Like this for instance:

The holidays are quickly approaching (as you can see, I’ve changed my blog header this month to reflect that!) and that means lots of shopping! As part of the Master Lock Live Secure Safety Squad I’m sharing a giveaway today for you and a neat way to help with online security. My husband works as a computer systems analyst for a major bank so online security is always at the forefront of our online activities. In fact, we probably are overly obsessive about it, but if there’s something I never want to deal with it’s identity theft.

I love candles.  I love the way they look when they’re lit, the patterns they cast in the room when the night comes rolling in.  Even more so I love scented ones that fill the room with smells of baked goodness, fresh crispness or floral beauty.  But for all the enjoyment I get out of candles, there’s a risk to burning them, especially if you have small children or pets in your home.

Well here it is, not even Valentine’s Day yet, and I’m talking about Easter! Crazy right?! But check out your local retailers and I’m guessing you’re seeing some Easter goods ‘springing’ up in your stores too. Easter’s pretty early on the calendar this year, March 31st.

When our daughter was younger we used to do those Easter Egg hunts with her in our basement. She loved those. Putting her eggs in a basket and then checking out what was in them when she had found them all. Speaking of baskets – a great place to order some Personalized Easter Baskets for kids is at www.PersonalCreations.com.

Some girls like shoes, other girls like diamonds – me I’m happy if you give me a hot beverage and a tech gadget…yeah I’m kind of geeky like that. If you look through my cupboards you’ll see lots of mugs and cups to drink hot beverages from. I have some favorites, but do like a variety for different beverages and different occasions, especially if I have guests over. I recently received a set of Espresso Americano Glass Coffee Mugs for review from HomeWetBar.com and in the experience found a new place to purchase unique and fun items for gifts and the home.
