The Swiss Colony Masterpiece Baked Ham Review

Thank You to The Swiss Colony for providing me with their products free of charge in exchange for my honest review. 

We received the Masterpiece Baked 1/2 Ham from the Swiss Colony which weighs on average from 5-6 pounds. It was plenty for our Thanksgiving feast that fed 9, most of whom went back for seconds. 


This ham not only looks delicious, it IS delicious! I figured it would be a huge hit at my dinner table and boy was I right! The day after the Holidays, I always serve my left over ham with homemade biscuits and we snack on it throughout the day on sandwiches or just with some gourmet cheese. This ham never saw the morning after Thanksgiving! It was devoured the very same night. All of my guests requested to take some home to snack on later claiming it to be the best ham they had ever eaten. 

It was much less stressful to cook it as well compared to my previous hams. This ham was already fully cooked so all I had to do was heat it thoroughly leaving me time to bake all of my pies and other baked goodies. 

It was very moist and delicious just as it was. Usually I would add pineapple to my ham but  there was absolutely no need. Overall, I am extremely pleased with The Swiss Colony. Their wide variety of products, the delicious ham, and the amazing and prompt customer service will definitely keep me as a return customer!

Otter Box Defender Series Case Review

Thank You to OtterBox for providing me with their products free of charge in exchange for my honest review.

If there is one thing I make sure to always take care of, it's my electronics. My phone, Laptop and iPad are the main three things I use daily and really the only 3 material things that I do care about. They are what pay my bills so it's very important to me that I take good care of them. I've had numerous different cases for them but I never felt fully protected until my son came in one day with an OtterBox that he had gotten for his iPhone. One look at it and how it covered his phone, I knew my devices would be protected. 

I received the Galaxy S4 Defender Series Realtree Case in RealTree AP Pink and the iPad Defender Series Case in RealTree Xtra / Blaze Orange. 




The Defender Series has a robust, 3-layer protection that withstands drops, bumps and shocks. A Built-in screen protector prevents scratches and port covers that keep out dust and debris. The Samsung case comes with a holster-style swiveling belt clip making it easier for me to keep up with vs dropping it into my purse.  Overall, I feel completely protected with my Otterbox products! My devices are not only safe, they are also stylish! To find out how the OtterbOX Defender Series case works, check out this very short video below.



I am definitely a happy customer and will be returning to OtterBox to purchase more in the Defender series for the other iPhones in my account!

Lefty's Left Handed Executive Left Handed Zippered Leather Portfolio Review

Thank You to Lefty's Left Handed for providing me with their products free of charge in exchange for my honest review. 

If there is one thing I have learned over the years, it's that things are just not made to be suitable for Lefty's. I have a large family that is full of Lefty's, and we have all had to learn to use all of our everyday products made for right handers with our left hand. Not anymore! Not since we found Lefty's Left Handed out of San Francisco. 

I had the opportunity to review their Executive Left Handed Zippered Leather Portfolio. It comes with a pad of 8-1/2" x 11" legal pad with 50 sheets of paper and a beautiful, ceramic-tipped Kyocera pen. From the outside it looks just like any other portfolio. 


You open it up and you can clearly see that it is designed exclusively for left handers. The pad of paper is actually on the left side of the portfolio!! On the right side is where I keep all of my paperwork and even my iPad! So there is no more having my arm resting on all of my papers or my iPad while trying to write in my portfolio. As a matter of fact, my old portfolio has now been retired. 


This portfolio is very handy and convenient. It's easy to grab as I'm walking out the door. I can fit either my iPad or Kindle inside, my phone, pen, extra paper, and there are even slots for my business cards or credit cards! And guess what! It all gets loaded from the left! 

To those of you that are right handed, you may not get it but there are so many issues that we as left handers face. One of them being the spiral notebook! Our arms come to rest on the those little rings and after a while it gets uncomfortable. Not to mention the ink that gets on the side of our hands because once we start writing, our hands continue to move over that very same spot!

 Another thing that aggravates me is sitting beside a right hander at the dinner table. We are elbow to elbow while trying to eat. My left elbow, their right! Switching places may seem like a reasonable fix, but just ask one of my right handed children to swap places with my left handed son, my husband or myself. Once they have claimed their spot, the war would be on to get them to move. 

One huge issue that I personally face daily as a blogger, is that the number pad is on the right side of my keyboard. I'm left handed, so learning to use the number pad on my keyboard was somewhat of a challenge. 

There are many more things that are a challenge for lefty's so I couldn't be happier with Lefty's Left Handed! They carry so many different products. Everything from tools to T-shirts, watches and kitchen utensils! 


 Overall, I am completely satisfied with my portfolio from Lefty's. I will definitely be a return customer for all of my lefty needs! The customer service was great as well! That's one thing that can definitely make or break a company. Lefty's definitely get's 2 thumbs up!

If there is one thing I never do enough of, it's pamper myself. Once I checked out the Honeycat site, I knew I was going to have to take the time to do so now! They have many great products to choose from. I chose the "All The Single Ladies" Gift Set to base my review. 

This set includes, a box of Honeycat Chocolate Bath Melts, Paw Batter chocolate/amaretto/mint foot cream, 8 ounces of, "Coquito", coconut rum bubble bath, Cat On A Hot Tin coconut milk/mango, soy candle, and Lick My Fur banana cream, edible body powder! Yes I said edible! Let those imaginations soar if that's what you choose!  


I don't have just one favorite product from this awesome box! Everything inside was just plain amazing. The Honeycat Chocolate Bath Melts smells good enough to eat! The minute I opened the box and smelled those beautiful little chocolates, I was in heaven. Finally a way to enjoy chocolate and not put on a pound! Who doesn't love that right?! I can tell you that my husbands favorite was  the "Lick My Fur" banana cream, edible body powder. The man loves bananas so it was definitely my lucky day! 


The Paw Batter foot cream is another great product. It smells just as described, like chocolate/amaretto/mint! Everything in this box just mixed so well together. As different as the scents may be, they all go great together and are not overwhelming. This will make the perfect gift for any woman in your life, single or not! The entire set is only $45! Much cheaper than a day at the spa. Pamper yourself in the comfort of your own home and Men you will benefit from this too, especially if you like bananas :)

Labato

Thank You to Labato for providing me with their products free of charge in exchange for my honest review.

I received the Labato Leather Case Magnetic Cover for Apple iPad and the Labato Magnetic Case for Samsung Galaxy S4 to base my review. These cases are 100% hand-crafted with premium leather with a soft internal lining. They are both equipped with smart cover folio and the iPad case has a 2 position stand functionality with multi-viewing angles. 




Both case are thin and light weight with a very stylish and functional design. The back of the phone case is also the battery holder for the Samsung Galaxy S4. When I first received the case, I thought it was too small for my phone. My husband then popped the back of the phone off and popped the phone into the case. Voila. Perfect fit! Both the iPad and the phone fit easily but snug into their cases. I didn't have to worry about them falling out but I also didn't have to worry about cracking either device due to the case being too tight. The colors are very vibrant and stylish. Too many times I have purchases something online and when it arrived, the colors were nothing like the ones on the website. Not with these Labato cases. They were very true to color. What you see is definitely what you get!



The customer service was above and beyond. Tom was able to help me with any questions I had and was always very prompt and polite. That's a huge plus in this day and time! Overall I am extremely pleased with my products and look forward to using them for a very long time.
