My grandson LOVES this  straw cup! Xavier is a picky child. Only drinks water from the bottle (manufacturer bottle). When I babysit him, I have to go out and buy water bottles. I was babysitting a few days ago and I knew this was my chance. Gave him the cup with the water, told him to sip it and the truck will drive around for you. IT WORKED!! No more water bottle in GMA's!! He loved it so much- he wanted to take it home. I told him - "Every time you come here, you have your special cup!" Thank you for making a product that will keep my 3 3/4 year old grandson's attention!!The Zoomi straw cup has only 3 parts to simplify healthy hydration. To clean, simply unscrew the lid, pull out the straw, and place all 3 pieces in the dishwasher.

My grinder that I actually use for HERBS!!!

I received in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website REAL Grinder 2.5 Inch - Best Herb Tobacco Spice Or Weed Grinder With Aircraft Grade Aluminum - Can Tackle Everything - More Teeth Than Any Other Grinder On Amazon - Crush Into The Perfect Texture. This is a TRUE FACT!! I use this for herbs for my kitchen. This is a very nice grinder. It is heavy weight, and has four compartments. It is very easy to screw and unscrew all the sections. When you screw them all together, they fit very snugly. This is not one of those that will work its way open. This is a metal grinder that I will definitely get many years use out of. I tried this spice grinder with a couple of different spices and got similar results for each. The grinder does not pulverize the spices but rather acts much more like a fine chopper. That is, it chops the spices to about 1/8-inch pieces, all very uniform. It is a lot faster than using a knife unless working with a tiny quantity of spices. When I opened the bottom chamber there was very little if any fine particles. If you want to get a powder instead of a fine chop you will need a mortar and pestle instead which is what I use for thyme. This grinder makes pieces that are comparable to what you find in a jar of chopped dried spices that you can buy in the store.

I received in exchange for review from Giveaway Service website Premium Ice

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00X8MYK3U

Premium Ice Cream Scoop, Unique Heating Liquid Technology Creates a Hot Knife Effect When Soaked in Warm Water, Cutting Effortlessly Through the Hardest and Coldest Frozen Desserts.


This is a perfect!! Because the unit is made from stainless steel, it should last for a long time and not discolor or bend. it likes to make a slightly smaller scoop- which I need portion control and A+++!!! place the scoop in a bowl or mug of warm water for a few minutes before using. If not... the liquid still responds pretty well to the body heat from your hands, so just holding it for a minute or two should make sure it works pretty well.  My fiances hand was not hurting after trying to get dessert and my old one is in the garbage! DO NOT PUT IT IN THE DISHWASHER!!! This IS a professional ice cream scooper!! I am happy I was chosen to review this!!!

Is there such a thing as be too old to serve? I know in certain industries, sports and modeling off the top of my head. But being waitress-server- too old? Or is it too stuck in their ways.I work now at BFG and somewhat happy there and did plan to move up to management. But through "hear say" I am not up to the challenge .Is it a GM's thought that a diner server is not good enough, or "sloppy"? I have went to a few places a few years back, and I was told "oh you are a diner server-not what we want" I am not too sure what it was they didn't want. If anyone has worked in a "DINER" a thing call multi tasking. We have to 1. Present menus and explain daily specials, how they are prepared, the ingredients, what can and cannot be taken out of the dishes, whether they get soup or salad, if dessert is offered, what kind and this is to EVERY table. 2. Offer Cocktails and or apps before we walk away from the table. In the back of the house, I used to set up the bread baskets, make out toast for breakfast dishes, sandwiches, or even if they wanted to eat just toast. We set up salad stations, getting every dressing known to man either made or get into 1/4 size pans. We set up the soup stations. When people ordered waffles, the servers cooked them. On top of that, if there were to go orders on the phone, we took their orders, took care of our tables made salads, made the soups, oh and now pack up the to go orders with the bread to go.. and in between that cut slices if cakes for the EB specials. Run your food, prebus your tables and oh yeah another to go order on the phone. Take cash, make change, run credit cards. Deal with guests that want 30 coupons for 5 different plates. learn how to hand write tickets and use the computer for other orders. Sometimes we would have an expo... and when your food was up.. ding ding ding ding ding went the call bell!!! Always have a smile. Thank the ppl with the to go orders that didn't tip you .. but I still have to bus out (tip out) at the end of the night for your 75.00 to go order. SO I actually paid for your food to go. Getting back to my point/rather question? Why are diner servers given a bad reputation? Granted I stopped working in diners because there is no room for growth. But it took YEARS for me to get into a corporate style restaurant. I have worked at a few places and I learned something new in everywhere I was. I never planned on making this a career. I truly didn't. I thought management was going to be where I was at my age. But the stabbing hurt I felt when I heard "Her family must be ashamed of her, a server and she is in her late 40's." I am unsure now what to do. Is this true? I am the oldest person at my place of employment. BUT I am the hardest working, I get the most guest compliments, my sale for corporate are very high!! Some days after working a 8 hour shift, I can leave with over $300. ( and those of you wondering- I claim 100% of my tips, and my paycheck is $0.00). What I am saying and asking 1. Please tip your server on to go orders. They might not have severed you personally .. but the still did the work of prepping all your food, they also at the end of the night have to tip out on your bill of sale which is in there check out report at the end of the night. 2. If I am 47 and can work straight through a 10 hour shift and still maintain a smile and give a$$ kicking service.. am I going to be without a job before I am 50?? I am hurt-heartbroken and my spirit is broken!! Un-sure what am I going to do . I know the company I am at... I am not moving up. But will I be hired at another well known establishment for my experience. Or will they say nope somebody 20 years younger can do a better job. I know for a fact I do my job well and when I have ppl saying " you made our experience memorable, and we will be back BECAUSE OF YOU"... What now?? REALLY WHAT NOW!!!??

Review for Ska Studio Waist Trainer!!

Hi ALL!!!  I received a few more try out items,,, and review and photos will be in here!!! First off I "thought" I was happy with me.. I just realized I REALLY need to loose 30 lbs. I am 4'9.. my weight should be in the 100 lb range... and it always was until I reached my 40's.. My average size clothes were x small or a 1..3 or 5... With all the going on's in my life..-moving from Miami to NY,  being sober for 8+ years, working as a server in restaurants, taking care of my children- worrying about my children.. Moms and Dads will understand the "Work is never done"... anyway.. working til 12ish and then coming home after midnight eating "dinner" staying up til 2am.. answering emails.. now blogging... I would buy black Boot Cut Jeggngs.. in a medium...  and of course the ladies that wear them.. they stretch... I ordered-Ska Studio Sports Waist Trainer,, in a medium (link to follow).. and it is the "GOOD" one.. the latex.. with the double hooks for sizing.. Well so excited I got approved. COULD NOT wait til it got here!!  I came home from work on a Tues night.. and YAY it was here.. Excited, going to wear it to work Wed.. I took my shower, did my lotion, deodorant, and I called my fiance and said we have to do this together. Since it was my 1st time. We holy hell.. reality slapped me silly!!! It took 20 minutes to get on... dripping in sweat (me... like I was running a mile) I knew at that moment.. OH SH!T how much weight did I really gain.. I didn't own a scale. I then bought a scale and I am OVER 145.. My fiance said "I love you no matter if you are 100 lbs or 200... that didn't make me feel ANY BETTER!! I did the review on Amazon.. honestly.. saying I most likely needed a large. I will not exchange it!! I will make a lifestyle change and fit into that BEAUTIFUL waist trainer. I also received the Bonke water bottle with  Fruit Infuser. To me that is a sign. Yesterday I started my lifestyle change. I am still wearing the waist trainer.. only take it off when I shower. I know it makes my hips and a$$ look larger BUT is that a bad thing?? NOPE!!! Long story short .. Ska Studio Sports Waist Trainer.. I love it.. anyone that wants to look TINY..and it also helps your posture.. no slouching!! .. it is an amazing product!!! I will post photos with my weight loss.. BUT the Ska Studio Sports Waist Trainer will not come off!!! Worth every penny spent!! Thank you for the eye opening opportunity.. and the healthy lifestyle CHANGE!!

rfid-blocking-leather-wallet review!!!

In today's world everyone needs protection in every aspect of your life. Computer~files from work~Dr.'s office and especially your identity!! I purchased and tried out (rather my son)

RFID Blocking Stylish Genuine Leather Wallet for Men - Excellent as Travel Bifold - Credit Card Protector... and just in time. my Boston terrier chewed up my son's wallet a week ago.. Joseph received the wallet a few days ago.. and to say the least.. HE LOVES IT!!  The construction on this wallet~ very well put together. It has many compartments for his credit cards, bank cards, business cards, ID, and of course CASH!!  It isn't overly bulky and just the right size for the front or back pant pocket!! Not many things put a smile on his face but this did and Joseph is protecting this wallet (and I guess the wallet is doing the same for him) with his life!! Great price~Great product!! What is your identity work... priceless and this wallet witll keep it just that!!!

Many compartments for ID credit and bank cards and the structure on it. If my dog doesn't chew it, we are ALL GOOD!!!



Runts new eyes!!! IT WORKED!!!!

Betta Bridges Pets Tear Stain Remover For Dogs


 I tried this for almost a week and a half on my 11 year old Boston terrier. I have to admit, although it is not the greatest smelling product, it works and it works well/ Runt sat patiently as I cleaned his tear stains. I also brought him to the vet a few days ago and brought Betta Bridges Pets Tear Stain Remover For Dogs and asked my vet, is it ok for him?? Will it harm him at the age he is at?/ She gave the 2 thumbs up!! I have to admit, I didn't think it was going to work. He does have the dark brindle coat. BUT all good and I have my handsome pup back again!!! I know when Sophie (white faced Boston) starts getting the tear stains. I will be using this and a few uses later ... it will be gone!!! I am enclosing the link and before and after photos. If you have any questions... ask!!!
