ITS BEEN TO LONG!

I AM FNALLY BACK AND BACK FOR GOOD!

I am so excited to be back at it again!

I am looking in to some amazing companys to review for.

I am an extreme couponer :) I love a great deal. I look forward to posing deals, giveaways, and posting reviews on places I go with my family.


Below, is part of my stockpile. With these items, I have saved $350 or more total. I donate some of my items to moms who are in need of certain things. I don't charge anything for the items, and sometimes even drop off.  If I am getting an item for free, why charge others? I just think, at one time I was, and even sill am in their boat, and I needed help as well. If you are interested in learning how to coupon, send me a message. I would love to help you.

These GLADE candles were all free, plus 5 more I already used. I am always excited for an amazing deal.

I am so happy you are here with me. Stay tuned for more...you will enjoy it.

Lets get back to it!

KRAVE Jerky

KRAVE  Jerky

Disclaimer: I purchased this beef jerky to facilitate my review. All opinions are my own, I am not paid for my opinions. 

I was in the store recently, and found Krave Beef Jerky in the soda isle. I have never seen or heard of this brand before I was curious how it tasted and if it was worth the money. They are not limited to only beef jerky, but also have pork and turkey jerky as well! I am one who love variety of meats! I am the  biggest beef jerky fan out there. Its amazing stuff!! LOL 

The first flavor I have had the ability to try is, Chili Lime Beef Jerky  first time. It was amazing! Very soft, and almost melts in your mouth. A lot of beef jerky is are really dry, and hard on my teeth, I have never had such tender beef jerky before. Although the price can be up to $7.00 a bag, in my opinion it is worth every penny you pay for it. Not to spicy, but has a kick with an added sweet burst. 

There are eight different flavors, Chili Lime, Black Cherry BBQ (which I cant wait to try), Basil Citrus, Lemon Garlic, Grilled Sweet Teriyaki, Garlic Chili Pepper, Sweet Chipolte (amazing taste, and true to its name, sweet but spicy), Pineapple Orange, and 6 variety packs. 

I think this beef jerky would be a great treat to send to troops over seas. I know my cousin would love to receive a pack of this in the mail!

Long Beach CA Aquarium of the Pacific

               My son LOVES going to the aquarium. I think its relaxing and calming for him. We have had a pass to go there for 5 years. My son is now 7, and still loves to go. He has a routine of where he likes us to park, where we go in first, and what we eat. He loves the water shed area, where they show where rain water goes and how it gets to the ocean. We always search for the frogs, and "Nemo" fish.

Being a pass holder, you can get behind the tank views, and special events. Plus when you get discounts in the store, and 2 free passes for your friends. Membership Information

Southern California’s Largest Aquarium

The Aquarium of the Pacific’s mission is to instill a sense of wonder, respect, and stewardship for the Pacific Ocean, its inhabitants, and ecosystems.

Our vision is to create an aquarium dedicated to conserving and building Natural Capital (Nature and Nature’s services) by building Social Capital (the interactions between and among peoples).

The Aquarium of the Pacific is the fourth most-attended aquarium in the nation. It displays over 11,000 animals in more than 50 exhibits that represent the diversity of the Pacific Ocean. Each year more than 1.5 million people visit the Aquarium. Beyond its world-class animal exhibits, the Aquarium offers educational programs for people of all ages from hands-on activities to lectures by leading scientists. Through these programs and a variety of multimedia experiences, the Aquarium provides opportunities to delve deeper into ocean science and learn more about our planet. The Aquarium of the Pacific has redefined the modern aquarium. It is a community gathering place where diverse cultures and the arts are celebrated and a place where important topics facing our planet and our ocean are explored by scientists, policy-makers and stakeholders in the search for sustainable solutions.

The Aquarium features a NOAA Science on a Sphere, which exhibits imagery and real-time ocean and weather data on a six-foot diameter globe. It also presents daily shows covering topics such as sea level rise and marine ecosystems. Throughout the year, the Aquarium features art exhibits, performing arts shows, and cultural festivals as a way to engage new audiences and make science accessible.

The Aquarium of the Pacific was the first among museums, zoos, and aquariums in the nation to register its greenhouse gases and is a leader in green practices, including its LEED platinum Watershed classroom. In 2009 the Aquarium was awarded the Super Nova Star Award by the Alliance to Save Energy for being the nation’s most energy-efficient business with revenues under $50 million.

In addition to our public programs and exhibits, the Aquarium is involved in numerous conservation efforts, including sustainable seafood, watershed education, ocean literacy, and more. Our team of scientific divers collects critical data used by a variety of ocean research institutes and reporting agencies. And through our Aquatic Forums, the Aquarium brings together scientists, educators, community leaders, and policy makers to develop solutions to complex environmental issues.

Founded in June 1998, the Aquarium of the Pacific is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Featuring 19 Major Habitats and 32 Focus Exhibits

Home to more than 11,000 ocean animals, representing nearly 500 species, the Aquarium celebrates the planet’s largest and most diverse body of water: the Pacific Ocean.

The Aquarium of the Pacific is a world-class aquarium, exploring the waters of Southern California and Baja, the Northern Pacific, and the Tropical Pacific. In addition to the three main galleries highlighting the major regions of the Pacific, the Aquarium features exhibits outdoors, including Shark Lagoon, the Lorikeet Forest aviary, and Our Watersheds: Pathway to the Pacific. Our special exhibits gallery features changing exhibits, and visitors can learn more about veterinary care at theMolina Animal Care Center. Meet our colony of Magellanic Penguins in the June Keyes Penguin Habitat, and engage with current science in the Ocean Science Center featuring NOAA’s Science on a Sphere®.

Calendar of events

 The aquarium lives off of donations. Adopt an animal by making a donation, or just make a donation to help support the sea life. This aquarium DOES NOT have any dolphins or whales, but do have seals, sea lions, penquins, birds, sharks, rays, and pet able jelly fish. Your donation goes towards the help of the animals.

Product Review for Cracker Jack Candles

New review on Cracker Jack Candles http://mommymomentsreview.blogspot.com/2014/05/cracker-jack-candles.html

Cracker Jack Candles

Cracker Jack Candles

*Video of RING REVEAL will be posted soon, I need to get a cord to connect my laptop and phone. 

While doing a google search, I came across Cracker Jack Candles. I feel in love with the website, and decided to email the company. Brittany, the owner, replied to my message quickly. She works out of Orange County California. The Life's a Beach candle smells just like Southern California beaches, she hit the scent right on. 

FROM THE WEBSITE OF CRACKER JACK CANDLES:

Above: 

These are the 3 Rings I received in my 3 candles. I love Cracker Jack Candles I plan to keep owner Brittany as my go to girl for amazing Soy candles. 

 

This Ring above was in the Cup-O-Good Convo candle. I love the shine! I have fat fingers because I constantly crack my knuckles so I never find a ring that fits me right, but I love this one so much!! I got a chain for it. 

The brown blob is the ring. The jewelry in the candle is wrapped in a small jewelry bag, and then wrapped in foil. I was worried the rings would be covered in wax from the candles, but I was wrong, The rings were only oily/waxy because I touched them with my fingers in excitement. LOL 

LIFE"S A BEACH:

 This amazing candle has a scent of California Beaches minus the fish smell. I love beach and tropical scents, and this candle amazed my every thought. I had my window cracked open, and the breeze coming through the window, with the ocean and beach scent of the candle burning, I felt like I was in a beach front room. I LOVE this candle! The ring I got from this candle is to dye for. Its the turquoise one above. 

 

No need to set sail to the carribean to enjoy thetropical breeze of the ocean. "Life's a Beach" candle will bring the tropical breeze into your home with just a light of the wick.

I also recieved Orange Creamcycle scrub. I used it on my feet, and elbows and they came out so smooth. The scent of the scrubs are so yummy you want to eat them!

Cracker Jack Candles

Cup-O-Good Convo smells like you are in a coffee shop. It has a very strong, yet amazing scent. I love this candle. I smelt the candle though the box and bubble wrap. I Like strong scented candles, and am picky on how strong. Cracker Jack Candles amaze me with their strong and unique scent. 

Everyone loves to meet at the local coffee shopto catch the latest scoop. Now bring that bold and rich aroma home to enjoy anytime!

Below: 

NEW SCENT: 

Surf City Suntan 

This light blue candle below is a new scent. I love it. It has a tropical scent, and I smell a little peach or passion fruit scent as well. The scents are all evenly distributed. 

What's summer without the summer tan! Splash into summer California style with Surf City Suntan Candle. With fresh coconut, juicy pineapple, bananas, melon, guava, passion fruit, and a hint of vanilla, all you need is a hammock. (Smells like banna boat suntan oil) 

 

My favorite candle will have to be the Life's a Beach. It really hits the moment when I want the beach feeling. I cant wait to get my next candle! I can not wait to try: 

Soft and elegant, "Happy As A Clam" will make any room happy and elegant. Feminine and silky - sensual and sheer from tropical flowers. A graceful, soft bouquet, so elegant and light. With soft florals and pears in a white tea base.

Bring the scent of adventure and romance into your home with our Pari-dise candle.

AND....

With fragrant passion fruit, hint of burgundy Tuscan grapes, sun-kissed yellow peonies, sweet vanilla orchids, and dash fresh greenery Summer Lovin' is all year long. 

Cracker Jack Candles has Candles, Tarts, S.O. Sweet Sugar Scrubs, and "Claim Shells". If you are the type of person who doesn't like scents, she even has unscented Candles and tarts as well. I love candles, but I am in love with Cracker Jack Candles. I will be getting some more soon!
