Product Review: 2 silicone popcorn maker



Displaying IMG_1926.JPGA favorite snack in my house is popcorn.  My kids LOVE it and I’ll admit that it has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.  One of my favorite things is homemade Carmel Corn.  Check it out here for a recipe to make your very own.  

So when I got the opportunity to try out a new Silicone Microwave Popcorn maker I jumped at the chance.  Not only because I love popcorn, but because this way I can make a heathier version of my favorite snack.  

Once I got this in the mail I was super excited.  Checking it out, I noticed a few things right off the bat.  First, it was collapsible.  LOVED this!!  Space savor!!  Trust me when I tell you my husband tells me all the time about how much stuff I have and this takes up hardly any room at all!!  Awesome!!  Next, it comes with a small and simple recipe guide!!  I have totally become addicted to the Kettle Corn!!  Super easy clean up!!  Wash with warm soapy water and rise.

So I made some Kettle Corn for my kids one day after school and they loved it.  They told me that it tasted just like Kettle Corn they get at the fair and that they didn’t even miss all the extra butter and salt that some popcorn has.  I did notice that it popped almost all of the kernels as well.  Cooking time was about two minutes, but listen just in case.  The Silicone does get hot, so please be careful and make sure you use the special handles on the side of the bowl when removing from the microwave.

All in all, I would say that this is a really good product.  I have been using it now for a few weeks, and I totally love it.  It is simple and easy, makes great popcorn and much cheaper than the store bought microwave bags, heathier too!  

I know that I will be using this product quite a bit come the holidays to make not only Carmel corn, but maybe some Chocolate drizzle as well.

Product Review: Relaxing Sleep Tea By Cuppa Magic







I really enjoyed this tea! I will admit that I was skeptical about trying it, but I have been having trouble falling asleep and thought "What the heck" I would give it a shot. I love a good cup of tea and this was good. It has a sweet, yet minty flavor, however I did need to add some honey to mine.  Not a big deal, since the directions state that you can drink it plain, with honey or lemon.

I did feel more relaxed and it did help me fall asleep much faster that previous nights. I even gave it to my daughter who has a hard time relaxing before bed. She loved the taste and it did help make bed time much much easier.

It is not an overpowering tea like some, but a mild yet really good tea.  There are many flavors to this tea, including chamomile, ginger root, rosebuds, spearmint, lemon grass and orange to name a few.  One of the first things that I noticed when I opened the bag is flavors that hit you.  Mint and ginger are the first that I sense.

After letting the tea steep the first taste is like heaven, mint and then orange and lemon.  What a wonderful taste after a long day.  Each sip I felt that I was getting a different taste, it was really nice.

I took it about an hour or so before I went to bed and by the time I was ready for sleep, I was much calmer and more relaxed. I only woke up once in the middle of the night, which is huge for me, and was able to get back to sleep really quickly. I will definitely be using this tea again to help on those very stressful days!!
